Nothing New to See Here
The days drag on, yet I still continue on my path
The volcano’s about to erupt with all this built-in wrath
I’m expected to push on without any complaint
I’m a struggling human being, not some perfect saint.
I do bother to stick to my convictions
Because I’m sick and tired of acting on presumptions
This planetary war between love and hate
Is making it harder for me to separate…
The reality of life from what I truly yearn
Dreams are dead was the hardest lesson to learn
Yet here I am, still struggling ever more
My body’s chained...

the new covenant
the cabal be
on some low key type shit
some Loki type shit
flip it either way
is it deception or inception?
perhaps a bit of both
the lord of lies [lol] made you a prophet
gave you a self fulfilling prophecy
suggesting you arrest your
own development
pause...reflect
the spectrum is omnipresent
light dark
good evil
pleasure pain

human interaction expectations(especially in intimate relationships)....especially as an introvert
advance idealizations with the coming years; some things change-some things never will.... soul searching-an admiring trait that goes but so far depending on the who you are....
the human species altogether are nothing less than complicated; and with time.... appears to more or less grow more impatient with interactions that are face to face(at least for myself)....
trying to understand others/or more or less actually understanding others-an admiring trait to have or work at....

New Year, Same Sh*t
In 2024, folks still putting foil in the microwave
Smoking cigarettes at the gas station, and I mean right under the pump handle
People holding newborn babies in the air like steak hoagies
Flip a light switch, with water dripping down their fingertips
Dodge heavy traffic for a thrill, cause their life and limbs actually depend on it
Pour hot grease in their trash bins, then wonder why the mutha fucka melted and the rats get in it
I've cleaned toilets for years, and what I've witnessed, is that men piss everywhere except the urinal
Women lay they lady...
Smoking cigarettes at the gas station, and I mean right under the pump handle
People holding newborn babies in the air like steak hoagies
Flip a light switch, with water dripping down their fingertips
Dodge heavy traffic for a thrill, cause their life and limbs actually depend on it
Pour hot grease in their trash bins, then wonder why the mutha fucka melted and the rats get in it
I've cleaned toilets for years, and what I've witnessed, is that men piss everywhere except the urinal

The Despair Chronicles, Nr.01 — Saturday 13th January 2024
Life is beautiful, and delicate — precious and precarious — like the flower growing in the pavement crack, dicing death with Doc Martins and speeding sneakers.
Despair, my life-long companion, ambles up and puts an arm around my shoulder to comfort me.
Annoying all the pedestrian lives stepping around us, we bend down to examine Beautiful Flower.
She is in a bad state, covered in grit and dust, her stem half broken, amputated leaves on indifferent concrete.
“Beautiful Flower” I say “you have a choice. Either we cut you and take you home where...
