(broken) City Streets
the wretched burnt-orange sun
beats down on my broken car
as she thumps mindlessly through potholes
with windows down
we gaze at clowns
and the derelicts
and the dirty tricks
as they crawl
across the pavement
the lively beauties walk
amongst jackasses and Gemini's
confused hooligans steal
from random pedestrians
to feed addictions
fulfilling a need
they mean you no harm, indeed
despite their transgressions
we're all devoured
by our own deceptions

inappropriate behavior
acute, spin the feeling
a metaphor bleeding, without ceasing
internal strife appears as a dragon
impossible he's wild and can't be tamed
it is your very own spirit
tugging on the chains that bind you
the societal norm is very strange to me
why cancel culture
it's one of the most beautiful aspects of us
sharing of culture makes more sense
then there is no place to express our anger
if you get angry you're crazy
that is inappropriate behavior
and don't buy that red car you wanted
let's all drive white ones

The prodigal sock
One fine day,
my sock decided to run away
I found its twin
lying indifferently
in the wardrobe
I did a bit of probe
But he didn't care
where his bro
had fled
I searched and
searched
and searched
But in vain...
I was getting late for school
frustratingly I cursed the twain
"Fuck...

Back on my Devil Shit
when I was young I was a hellion
looked down on by the world
I had no problem with anarchy
until I found love
and that was all that mattered
straight laced for her sake
holding her extra tight tonight
for tomorrow
I’m back on my devil shit
as I unbury my guns
all I can think of is peace
what the fuck is peace
for a person like me?
should of know they’d never let me be
see, I’m different
thought I could run away
but those demons keep lurking
at every corner
calling for the Devil
dressed...

ENOUGH IS ENOUGH
When is enough is a enough of the genuine lies, without the truth to navigate through the process of the lies.
🤨 For when is it enough when you continue, to stand by the Democrats and the demographics, of the false propaganda feeding you more lies. For sure when is enough that you finally learn how to use, your own thoughts and insight and mind. To find out for yourself really the TRUTH, just by DOING your Research in the archives. Section of your OWN Google app just by writing a NAME ?? FOR example of any anyone whoever, was into politics, from when they first started to up to...

Cancelled
No matter how we try to spin it
No one is getting off this 3rd rock from the Sun
Completely scar free
So pick your battles wisely
Innerstand the difference between
Giving up and moving on
It's the minimalist
That can maximize potential
By delineating
From giving too many fuckz, 0 fuckz
And less than a fuck
Develop that internal fuck-o-meter quick fast
Cuz the Devil is indeed
The hardest working dude in show business
And demon time...

Honest To A Fault
Put yourself on trial
When conscience speaks to interrogate without a guilty plea
Follow your heart but you lost it when love became the casualty
Co conspirators of sabotage and swayed scales of fabricated morality
Synchronized marionettes in the puppeteering of a scandal
Face the facts through the filter of the lies when the truth is something you can’t handle
Is this just my assumption in the allegations of the motive when I misread the abundance of your heart
Guilty by association with these words that reveal your silent counterpart

skyscraper
Skyscrapers are the ultimate symbol of human ambition,
rising above all obstacles.”—Anonymous
ambitions
drag me by the pulsing shoulder,
by rations
limited that make me bolder;
too soon i
find that failure is a raper
to ruin my
feet short of their high skyscraper.
the journey,
though an uphill climb forever,
shall earn me
all the fruit of my endeavour;
sharp bruises
shall my passions not diminish,
excuses
weary not what i must finish.
naysayers
vex my spirit with dissuasion, ...

Self-Love Song
How far in must I get to be heard
It seems no matter how I put it, you still don’t hear a single word
Through filters of pride and the will to misunderstand
I’m casualty to your resentment and your broken upper hand
When success is an illusion and achievements are in vain
Justify your cowardice against how you weigh the delusion of my pain
I guess the scars don’t exist, it’s just imaginary the way that I bleed
As it all seeps to the surface and my lips make roses of every weed
Trace back the roots, the garden is overrun
If you...

Sunlight at Just the Right Angle
I looked at an old man and thought
he looks grizzled and tired,
frustrated and irritated at what the world
has become and what he has turned into,
about what he's lost over the years
and of all the women he could have had.
He knows now all is vanity and that he's got
more years behind him than in front of him.
It's a bittersweet surrender.
He still carries a heavy weight
of pain and regret,
and he needs to somehow
let it go.
He looks wrinkled and worn.
He looks aged and if the sunlight shines on him
at just the right...

Raven And Hawk
The raven in the clouds she soars
The sun burns hot and winds they roar
Energy starts to fail after it's peek
She begins to fall as wings grow weak
Nowhere to land, not even a wall
As hope loses out she begins to fall
The white hawk flys and seed her distress
He swoops down catching her on his back so she can rest
Across the casim and to the sky
The white hawk brings her way up high
He gives her that much needed rest
He swoops gently to return her to the raven's nest
The sun burns hot and winds they roar
Energy starts to fail after it's peek
She begins to fall as wings grow weak
Nowhere to land, not even a wall
As hope loses out she begins to fall
The white hawk flys and seed her distress
He swoops down catching her on his back so she can rest
Across the casim and to the sky
The white hawk brings her way up high
He gives her that much needed rest
He swoops gently to return her to the raven's nest

stagnant hearts always turn to stone
I've convinced myself
there's nothing here
worth holding on to
and I've been waiting
for you to prove me right
So far
you don't dare to disappoint
I push through because
there is nothing else I can do
I have no one pick up the pieces
of the crumbling parts of me
and it's easier to push
the closeness of your face away
than let you see the real me
in this half light
Never mind that I want
you to push through
intuit the wrongness of this place
I want you to see me ...
