Truth or Death?
I despise that blunt honesty shit
Honesty isn't blunt
Honesty is cool
Lies are blunt
You want to hurt someone?
Lie to them!
Then shoot them in the fucking head!
Honesty isn't blunt
Honesty is cool
Lies are blunt
You want to hurt someone?
Lie to them!
Then shoot them in the fucking head!

Unwilling To Conform
Burning the candle at both ends
Constantly being spread razor thin
Running sprints never marathons
Some races weren’t meant to win
Taking risks in this constant game
Doubling down on chaos tomorrow
Breaking free from a stagnant view
That bankrupts all those who follow
Driving communication to the brink
Navigating through this angry storm
Nothing ever bothers the status-quo
Except all of us unwilling to conform
Constantly being spread razor thin
Running sprints never marathons
Some races weren’t meant to win
Taking risks in this constant game
Doubling down on chaos tomorrow
Breaking free from a stagnant view
That bankrupts all those who follow
Driving communication to the brink
Navigating through this angry storm
Nothing ever bothers the status-quo
Except all of us unwilling to conform

The Beast Has Risen
You wanted the teeth
You wanted the claws
When I came close
You put me behind bars
I don’t know what you thought
I don’t know what you’re thinking
I don’t give a shit
What you’ve been drinking
This is the monster
Since the day she was born
The beast came alive
Like a perfect storm
You wanted me to kneel
You wanted me to beg
When I looked up
This is what you said
“I came to you
And gave you the words
Gave you the sweetness
And this shit occurs
Words
Words ...
You wanted the claws

Littered in Shame but Not Sorry
We did that
It was messy but that's where the lust lay
When the guilt bit hard
You wanted to be friends
We all know that's bullshit
Crash and burn lullaby
Nobody survives that unscathed
Then finally we became nothing
I don't hate you
I don't feel nothing
I don't even want to grudge fuck ya
Remember the old days
Bending you over my work desk
On overtime no less
Getting paid for our sins
That was something
We are a zero sum babe
I don't know if you cheated on me
We were already cheating on...

-USTING
Your aggressive thrusting,
making no adjusting,
outworking your lusting
until you were busting,
betrayed all my trusting.

lies and fiction
sensational painful hurt
keen in metaphors and slam the door
on all double talkers
cruelty is its own master
the divinity of the flesh causes distrust
you eat lust and dust
dangling a pretty carrot
will you also eat from a liar's breast
instinctual education I was your love
disappearing memories I see the sky alone
and a sun that burns
you can only reach so high
before the clouds dissipate
and your imaginary dinosaurs disappear
with a light wind
leaning on my kindness
is it folly to think it...

HERE YOU ARE SEEING THYSELF
Some people are creatures of habits that refuse to change their lives, to the point they keep repeating the same cycle over and over again 🤔 For it is necessary to understand that what you keep doing, is wrong on so many levels, as it isn't working out for you. BUT yet there, will come a time ⌚ when you have to learn to get it together. For you can't keep doing that what you do, for it is imperative that you take a moment. So you can learn that no misdeed goes unpunished, for what goes around comes around for how many more, hearts and spiritual souls that you have to destroy....

The Cycling Self
There is an
emptiness
that never
seems to…
empty…
itself
No matter
the groups
or therapies
encountered
to relieve
A pain
Always present
in some niggling
manner I loathe
because
I thought
I conquered it
Finding peace
in nature
and gratitude
amongst loved ones
can ease
the burden
of this…
Cross
BUT
It’s ever present
and always
carried
on my
Left
shoulder
...

The End is Nigh.
A dystopian future is at our door
Facts on Facebook checked no more
Open the sewer let the clowns speak
Lies and deceipt will reach a new peak.
Orwell was prescient with the Ministry of Truth.
Bradbury knew the temperature at which books burned.
And Huxley foresaw a society off their tits on Soma, subdued, placated and duped.
The genies of Zuckerberg,Musk,Trump and countless others cannot be put back in the bottle.
Disinformation is the new truth.

Capstone
I destroy all around me.
I seek and always find.
I'm not always who I used to be.
I like to wander through my mind
The ends are always beginnings.
The day of death; I celebrate .
I'm betting on the winnings.
It was foretold straight from the gate .
I'm missing like the capstone.
Yet, a pyre in the midst.
An ancient echoing microphone.
A collection of all my wits.
The tourists all around me,
They question as I amuse.
I mock them as I folly.
I like to torture and abuse.
I destroy them with...
I seek and always find.
I'm not always who I used to be.
I like to wander through my mind
The ends are always beginnings.
The day of death; I celebrate .
I'm betting on the winnings.
It was foretold straight from the gate .
I'm missing like the capstone.
Yet, a pyre in the midst.
An ancient echoing microphone.
A collection of all my wits.
The tourists all around me,
They question as I amuse.
I mock them as I folly.
I like to torture and abuse.

You were
rare air
in my lungs
I lie
vacant-eyed
as my chest

it's a living
it's gotta be Monday 2.0
waking up to another cup of what the fuck
still seeing darkness through the bedroom window
and that damn alarm screaming insistently
rubbing my last ragged nerve until it's raw
I'm not ready to rise
another day
another punch of the clock
grinding through corporate mediocrity
this isn't who I used to be
but that was another life
better times
today I'm filling pockets for some other guy
twice a month scoring another tiny paycheck
but it pays my bills & they're good to me, in all...
