Otherwise
A choice of words I randomly scribe, a symphony
or otherwise, between logic and common sense
No man is an island, perhaps, an olive in their
narcissistic martini
With a boiled carrot of one's manhood, living in a
fantasy, that they can't escape
As a cyclone tears through the asinine mind leaving
fragments of a demented soul playing Tiddlywinks
Now a warped old fool waiting at the depot as
the world passes by, living in a vacuum of denial
or otherwise, between logic and common sense
No man is an island, perhaps, an olive in their
narcissistic martini
With a boiled carrot of one's manhood, living in a
fantasy, that they can't escape
As a cyclone tears through the asinine mind leaving
fragments of a demented soul playing Tiddlywinks
Now a warped old fool waiting at the depot as
the world passes by, living in a vacuum of denial

Blindness Of The Eyed Ones
It's so easy to write more words
vanity and levity, that say less
much the same when you talk too much
while your speech is meaningless
even at more lower level when you lie
in this mature age and awareness...............
when the child lies we blame the kid
scald him sometimes, hurt his feelings
don't we realize that they are our seed
Then, we reject the crops that we have sown
shameful when the child read our sickness,
see our vulnerability, watch how weak
we present our poetic selves....

Last meeting for Peace
Potatoes danced under silver umbrellas.
Always jumping screws in a replay scene.
Silk stockings flew as light as hippos...
A political party is always pure clowning.
Always jumping screws in a replay scene.
Silk stockings flew as light as hippos...
A political party is always pure clowning.

Seedless Soul
Narcissistic porcelain of seedless soul
lonely and sleeveless without a heart
on stormy nights echoing Shakespeare
without shadows, just flames of duress
of unconscious mind contrarious insanity
blinded from the sight of self's endless
epiphany's face in the crowd
lonely and sleeveless without a heart
on stormy nights echoing Shakespeare
without shadows, just flames of duress
of unconscious mind contrarious insanity
blinded from the sight of self's endless
epiphany's face in the crowd

Cop City
Cop city ( in ATL)
There’s a state of emergency and it’s in cop city
Try and level the land and shoot protesters down
85 acres of beauty trees why would we
Flatten it out for the new world order
Police are the new military
In our community
Smoke bombs and pepper spray they
Gotta put em down
Can’t let the peasants gain the upper ground
Don’t know the heavy hand
is a losing proposition
Would think I’m talking about a far away land
But It’s in our backyard way
Down in Atlanta
Is it really...

The Honey of Mortal Blessings
Ugly swine, glad your not mine
Spit the apple into your eye
This dirty piggy never made it home
The lords helper, ran for shelter
Couldn't escape the boiling swelter
Pulverize you like the sheep you are
Oh man I could destroy you if i wanted
Murder you with my own two hands
Oh man I'd be so fucking happy
Murder you like a sacrificial lamb
You are nothing but a scared animal
Branded "A Coward" right on your back
A sight so divine, a sight so prime
Numerous ways to skin a cat
All sliced up ...
Spit the apple into your eye

You are nothing but a scared animal

Despicable Messiah
Shadow of imbecile Pied Piper, living in a heroin
narcissistic dream playing paddy cake with fools
herded schemes with seamless wings without
capacity to ink but keeping fires burning of self-
destruct, the insane shadow of imbecile Pied
Piper, a despicable messiah, shitting his pants
of hypocrisy for a moment of importance

Executive Fever
Marked safe from tears when shitty bosses die
I think of the long stingy road to this,
where estimation will not even try
to have no obligation go amiss
in a republic of the free and brave;
free, that is, to accumulate more debt,
as less and less we can keep from the grave,
unless lotteries are a winning bet.
Yet in this mess they say the boss is right
and that the private jet and private yacht
are not somehow an ecologic blight
where at least the Orcas have not been bought
and know damn well that they can't trust a boat ...

Acquitting Sin
Screams are amplified inside the chamber
Insults are hurled before any intent is shown
They speak of harming their leftist neighbor
While calloused hearts become hard as stone
Hate-speak echoes off cold desperate walls
Envious egos grow bitter before turning sour
Hanging judges fill these holes in judicial halls
Acquitting sin for the wealthy to hold the power

No Womb to Let
No womb to let, in the bowels of the coo coo
a pelvic floor with a narcissistic troubadour
screaming the feminization of insanity
like an asthmatic impotent wannbe clown
trying to catch butterflies with a fishing pole
another demented fool who wants to be heard
with no womb to let, in the bowels of the coo coo
a pelvic floor with a narcissistic troubadour
screaming the feminization of insanity
like an asthmatic impotent wannbe clown
trying to catch butterflies with a fishing pole
another demented fool who wants to be heard
with no womb to let, in the bowels of the coo coo
