Flood
another day
another grind
finally realizing
life is a flood
watching the water rise
the pressure grows stronger
year after year holding on
fearing maybe some asshole
will get pissed and take it away
not to mention health and death
and I think
one day my head will explode
from all this politics
we all want the same things
but the rich want us controlled
the truth is that we are alone
no one is fighting for us
and the things they say you care about
you really don't
and what you...

Away
I'm none to sure
Whether i want
My mind
To wander
Into the deep recesses
Of deep space
Or
Remain here
In the safe
And simple
And somewhat
Curious place
Or
Drift off
Then cross through
Long forgotten portals
Long lost in time
As i disappear, without a trace

United In The Murky Depths Of Epiphany
The adventure is in your mind
The planet is crushed in the palm of my hand
When time tries to drown the dream
Inside your mind, just come with me
It's high time to turn the key
And leave here for eternity
When life turns a blind eye
I will help and make you see
It's high time to turn the key
And leave here for eternity
The planet is crushed in the palm of my hand
When time tries to drown the dream
Inside your mind, just come with me
It's high time to turn the key
And leave here for eternity
When life turns a blind eye
I will help and make you see
It's high time to turn the key
And leave here for eternity

Gifted & Afflicted
In the blink of an eye, you or I could gain our wings
So live everyday like a caged bird that still sings
Allowing nothing or anyone to steal your joy
Some entities are enemies with malicious ploys
Ahoy brothas and sistas from different misters
Times are rife with strife and sinister agendas
Pretenders make it hard to discern what's truly real
Turmoil inserts like a knife and hinder how fast we heal
Gotta deal with the low blows hitting where it hurts
Like words some spew at you that deeply cuts
No matter what we go through a...

IT'S ALL GOOD
How long does it take for a heart to mend?
It's said that all good things come to an end
Then when does its antagonist dearly depart?
The Genesis of our breathing starts the clock
It's said docks of bad times don't last forever
Yet, their remnants remain; we call them triggers
The figures tell a tale of a living HELL
Overdosing while publicly doing well
Spectators can't tell when the well runs dry
But it all gets revealed when we surely die
We'll still wonder why it even occurred
It's cause stealthy pain doesn't have a...

A Dyers Diary Of His Dire Rear!
A Dyers Diary Of His Dire Rear!
And the dyers ear
In a dire diary
Things got pretty dire for the dyer
Because of his dire rear
But nothing he heard
Because of his dyers dire ear!

Masturbation
i pray so reluctantly
like begging the father
to punish sparingly
choose the switch instead of the belt
my life is a shadow
casting itself upon my dreams
my dreams are sparks
that fail to ignite amidst the rain
screaming through the phone
you only hear static
i'm just a noise
a lack of definition
six by six, concrete
silent and complete
intravenous circulation
shallow reciprocation
just another form of rehabilitation
and another fucking medication ...

If you play with fire....(you know the rest)
A 44 year old woman in America doused herself in gasoline and lit herself on fire in protest of one of those yearly Miss America Beauty Pageant's. Before lighting the match, the woman shouted slogans criticizing the pageant's exploitation of woman. Her last words were reportedly, "WATER! WATER! WATER!!" The pageant continued.

are you done yet?
Are you done yet?
Do you remember every word you said?
Do you remember every word I said back?
Or am I just another fever dream
that you'll wake up from like
you're Alice in fucking Wonderland
and I'm a white rabbit that's only worth chasing
when you're asleep
Don't tell me about love
I don't plant roots in the earth
I plant roots in people
and you are a landslide
How long until you rip my heart out?
How long until I let you?
I'm in too deep to try and untangle myself now
Are you done yet?

frost watch
instinct keeps me poised
eyes darting
hovering near the shadows
always an exit within reach
winds can turn bitter
...with little warning
chilling to the bones
& I am...
deeply susceptible
...to cold

Man on the Street
Swallowed whole like Jonah
I reside in the guts of this
Beast, I can feel the heat of
its heart beat.
I can see the distension
in trembling and quivering
insides as I move around
on my feet.
I walk beside choked arteries
and down various tubes,
hanging gardens somewhere above
but here just waste and ooze.
I find a quiet cavity
and curl up on some bony surface
to snooze
but I don't get much sleep.
