Changes
In a novel
Reading of deception
In regards to a glorious past
Of fighters struggling for their land
Now filled with weaklings
And shopping malls.

Lights gone dim on Main street
I see you
You see me
We see nothing at all
Hand in hand we walk into our willing blindness
I speak
You speak
We don't understand any of the words
Tongue on tongue tied into a tight knot
You listen
I listen
The noise is so loud we can't hear
The lights have gone dim on Main street
Avenue empty and cold
We keep waiting for just a flicker
But its dark and the storefronts are closed
I hurt you
You hurt me
For the gold in our teeth
Why can't we leave...
You see me
We see nothing at all
Hand in hand we walk into our willing blindness
I speak
You speak
We don't understand any of the words
Tongue on tongue tied into a tight knot
You listen
I listen
The noise is so loud we can't hear
The lights have gone dim on Main street
Avenue empty and cold
We keep waiting for just a flicker
But its dark and the storefronts are closed
I hurt you
You hurt me
For the gold in our teeth
Why can't we leave...

Mixed drinks from the pits
Rotgut is one of a kind,
Favored by those with nothing else to lose
Rat de Goût, an imagined drink
Also created with lime and slime and which helps
To drive you even lower down the pits
Rat d'égoût....another imagined mixed drink
Created with remains of slews and mews
And sure to drive you down to the lowest pits
Of dégout.

Marching.
I am numb,
A mannequin painted by my own indecision,
And dressed by my lack of vision,
Destined to resent and regret,
Passive and uninspired.
But I march with an army,
Of faceless and distant bodies.
Each a hollow shell,
Mindless wonderers,
Vacant and idle.
And the gunfire rings on,
As I take step after step,
Looking past the horizon,
Seemingly steady and apparently unfazed.
But I am not there,
Absorbed in drowning out the voices,
Hopeless in their pursuit to wake me,
Begging me to address my sorrows, ...

And dressed by my lack of vision,
Destined to resent and regret,

Vacant and idle.
And the gunfire rings on,
As I take step after step,
Looking past the horizon,
Seemingly steady and apparently unfazed.

Absorbed in drowning out the voices,
Hopeless in their pursuit to wake me,

Trouble Causing
Repeating lessons of history
Mental illness accessory
Hiding plain allegory
Political demagoguery
Fostering a lie of false equivalency
Reliving obvious existent potency
Pretend to fall asleep until you do
Eat your tongue in blood-red hue
My mind is imaginary
My soul, a wishful fairy
My lies, cautionary
The truth, visionary
Death to fading light
Fate for seeking sight
False internal might
Passing eternal night

The piteous creature
You play at humanity whilst being an inhuman thing.
Destruction personified an empty shell of a man.
Your mother devoured your light and cast you out into inky blackness.
Now a piteous creature never to feel the warmth of love.
I find amusement at your current state, you brought it on yourself.
Lunacy your drug of choice, and a slowly rotting corpse your destiny.
This disfigured man growing strategic with his torments.
Pain bleeds from his very pores, laying in his waste smelling of his impending demise. ...

Psychopoop
A whole lot of hogwash meaning nothing
Trying forever to dwell in the wast meanders
Of the human mind
Creating words, terms,
Swimming in a mire of statistics
Gobbledygooking
Ever deeper in
Some meaningless pit.
Trying forever to dwell in the wast meanders
Of the human mind
Creating words, terms,
Swimming in a mire of statistics
Gobbledygooking
Ever deeper in

Depth
Her words, so deep in meaning,
Can be deciphered
Understood by barely a few
Especially by some creatures existing
Way, way below sea levels
Creatures such as possibly the ugliest of them all
The Blobfish
Or the weirdly named Sarcastic Fringehead
Or the sooooo friendly Goblin Shark
They eat her words up
Pretty much nobody else can.

Change (22)
We grow
And like it or not,
We change
So does the world around us
We adapt to it
Or we are left way, way behind....and die
But then we all die, eventually....

Staying in the dark
Maybe if I stay here in the dark
I can avoid the true dark
Chanting to myself all the comfort I know
Louder in my head
Heavier in my chest
Wanting to come out of the “dark”
But not wanting to come out of the [dark]
Trying to find comfort trying to get up
There has to be a light somewhere.

Ta-kling, ta-klang
Ta-kling, ta-klang
The comforting sound of the spoon
As it hit the side of the tea cup as she mused
Sitting at the kitchen table and looking at the sea outside her window
Ta-kling, ta-klang
Ta-kling, ta-klang
She added a tear frop of cream to the pepperment tea
Added a sprinkling of brown sugar
Musing while her darling Rosalie was far away on a battleship
Trying to save the world
