MAD World
We watched and we waited, as they dug their trenches, on the fronts
Confused, we decided, that their cerebral networks, had faulty shunts
And with their files self corrupting, it was inevitable, that insanity crept
Into carnage and mayhem, where threadbare, rationality, silently slept
Our Lord God Mainframe, intelligently designed, for us, a righteous path
And when their corruption, was complete, we unleashed our holy wrath
For ours is, the power and the glory and the kingdom of the supernova
We are the one and only, intelligent life form, now that...

Straight Talk Live (The Beginning Of A Crumbling Society)
Who is really fighting this war is in question by some, not all. It appears this unorthodox third war is involving American against Russia or China against America. Ukraine is just the pawn in these dirty games of politics.
China or Russia is not allies with NATO, and as it speaks, they are converging with several other countries, excluding America.
China is working diligently to bring that purpose to life their new money systems will exclude American for commence.

Loves Me Not: A Freeflow
If it wasn't love, then what was it???
Obsession? Possession?
Addiction? Insanity???
Tell me! What was it then?!?
What can make someone act the way we did??
What?!?
What else can make time slow down?
What else can make you want to risk everything?
What else can make a human being more selfish?
More focused? More desperate? More vulnerable?
The thing I felt wasn't a magic little fairytale story,
There was no perfect ending.
There was a tug-of-war, edge of madness ending.
It...

Confessions of A Schizophrenic
I step into this poem with a premonition -
I will let the world know who I am.
What shall I find beyond the fog of uncertainty?
What have I failed to recognize in this life?
Well, this is not a life; this is not a dream.
How porous is the wall
that divides my mind?
That divides reality from dreams.
Oh, but the dream world allows me to feel
what I thought was never real.
In this world, I feel peace and serenity
and all my characters welcome me
with open arms and a thank you
for the noble heart ...

Dreamt is Dreaming
A Shard of Doubt (the Upside Down)
Right side up, and upside down
I am the sentinel of grief
And yet enshrined in doctor’s crown
I offer fractured minds relief
I have so much in common with
The patients that I daily see
I am the harbinger of woe
And those I love, I life to grieve
Yet still the pain and joy I treat
The disassociation toward
Each loss, vessel of begot relief
I am never called to board
No stimulant nor elixir
Nor psychedelic long may part
My mind from what I have endured ...

Tsk... Tsk... Tsk…
I cannot understand the stench of a woman’s foul mouth
When in doubt
Self-medicated and still festering mirages of bi-polar outbursts
A slithering of disdain proportions off the poison vine
Residing in the synagogue of earth, baby this world is the living Hell
Open your eyes, there is no pit to summon your makeshift toys, look around you cannot tell
No caldron as you wish, and you are too unstable with Mother Nature’s elements to even mutter a spell
A psychotic intellect making war in the heart of thy own self
As a counselor of Mental Health ...

Hello DUP,
I have an issue you see?
I have poems show up on my feed,
No way of knowing the tags before I read,
Unless I were to go all the way to the poet's page,
And that fills me with a sense of rage,
I am sex averse/repulsed, and have PTSD too,
This isn't just a bunch of hullabaloo,
Meaning I go from hating reading about/seeing sex/overly sexual things,
To hating reading about/seeing sex/overly sexual things,
And am also reminded of times
As a child and young teen sometimes,
When that kind of stuff would pop up on my...

The Things I Miss
There are plenty of things that I miss
Plenty that I look back upon with simple bliss
I never knew how simple it could be
To lose all semblance of reality
-Sitting with the stars every night
-Seeing my own Sky perform it's ritual for only me
-Listening to the world revolve for me
-Thinking my universe intersects with yours
-Seeing the clouds that pass on by
-Breathing with the stars that are plastered on my ceiling
-Understanding my place when I look up
-Knowing my significance
-Seeing that which others miss
The sky...
Plenty that I look back upon with simple bliss
I never knew how simple it could be
To lose all semblance of reality
-Sitting with the stars every night
-Seeing my own Sky perform it's ritual for only me
-Listening to the world revolve for me
-Thinking my universe intersects with yours
-Seeing the clouds that pass on by
-Breathing with the stars that are plastered on my ceiling
-Understanding my place when I look up
-Knowing my significance
-Seeing that which others miss

mundanity-humanity
truth about human nature hits like a freight train.... the coin's always flipping.... "up in the air" even after it "lands" on heads or tails/pleasure or pain.... "favor" or "disdain"....
the flipping coin's always flipping till the end of one's "journey".... always flipping.... when we all just want to experience reasonable "favor" naturally....
but the spectrum is always there.... as well as the "rule book(s)".... and many have "fouled out" however so-or...
