Non-Essential
Our oath is to preservation as we charge in
Battle cry ready, friends on each end to defend
The foe we fight has no name or rhyme
Ancient and cleaving since the beginning of time
We hold the line as much as we can
But hostiles emerge from multiple spans
The generals are sipping wine and getting fat
While bombing a peaceful, once exclusive habitat
I curse as I see the rising new foe
Some brothers give up and some sisters fold
There are spectators from villages who try to break bread
Starved neighboring friends...
Battle cry ready, friends on each end to defend
The foe we fight has no name or rhyme
Ancient and cleaving since the beginning of time
We hold the line as much as we can
But hostiles emerge from multiple spans
The generals are sipping wine and getting fat
While bombing a peaceful, once exclusive habitat
I curse as I see the rising new foe
Some brothers give up and some sisters fold
There are spectators from villages who try to break bread

Division
World is spinning
Way too fast
I can't keep up
I can't last
Too much division
Tearing us apart
Noone cares
About anyone's heart
I just want to feel
The sun shine on me
Till I can rise
And meet it in the sky
If it's peace you're looking for
Sorry, there's none to find
Way too fast
I can't keep up
I can't last
Too much division
Tearing us apart
Noone cares
About anyone's heart
I just want to feel
The sun shine on me
Till I can rise
And meet it in the sky
If it's peace you're looking for
Sorry, there's none to find

Waves of Continuity
Waves of Continuity
Waves of continuity roll forward, approaching,
lapping at our feet like subservient dogs.
We scatter and scurry along a glassy beach,
shards slashing into all forms of humanity,
all races and ages.
Like mice, or better ants rather in a desecrated colony,
we swerve.
We dodge as that giant piece of "bread" finally falls from the sky.
Here there are no givers and here there are no "taketh-awayers."
All that is here is a collapsing structure.
We watch, wanting to glance back at the...

Good Eggs Or Bad Eggs?
Is there any good egg in the worldwide organization of police?
Draw a conclusion based on the factual information presented.
Police promote the corruption of the bad eggs,
Work and associate with the bad eggs,
Support the mendacious reports of the bad eggs,
Encourage and empower the bad eggs,
Cover up the wrongdoing of the bad eggs,
And paint a deceptive image of the bad eggs,
Yet they consider themselves to be good eggs.
This is absolutely ridiculous. Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha! Ha!
A good egg would separate itself from among the...

All Fight and No Love
Speak to me of what you see
As we abstract our identity
Ebbing and flowing on the rivers of something like timelessness
Or the diminished idea of original design
Reshaping ourselves as we reformulate the mold
As if laws are indecisive as how we make up our own mind
When logic is insanity and we're out of touch with grace
What do you see in the mirror
When the reflection is a catalyst for deforming your own face
Preaching the doctrine of our insecurity and wounds
As we make idols of our scars and score a melody in the crevice of our...

How God Ends Liberal Privilege and Liberal-Favoritism in Law
It starts with liberty
then comes the lies
and the wicked ideas
in the baby-carriage
Finally some
“very equal people”
make bad laws
and do bad things
to people born
less equal
because their
grandpa’s half cousin
was an asshole
And by virtue of
bearing some
resemblance
They must now
be set upon?
No
God is watching
and when His point
has been made
We finally
let him
restore order
then comes the lies
and the wicked ideas
in the baby-carriage
Finally some
“very equal people”
make bad laws
and do bad things
to people born
less equal
because their
grandpa’s half cousin
was an asshole
And by virtue of
bearing some
resemblance
They must now
be set upon?
No
God is watching
and when His point
has been made
We finally
let him
restore order

The Law Of Mankind
Laws without fairness and justice are not really laws.
The so-called law is a system of dictatorship and oppression.
Politicians believe that might is right and this will lead to their downfall.
No man has the right to exercise authority over other men.
The leaders of the world make laws to divide society.
And the law is a weapon to trample upon underprivileged people.
The law should demonstrate equality and impartiality.
It should be in the best interest of every citizen whether police or civilians.
The constitution...

BITCH SLAP SHOT
It never fails---
Just-ice prevails
whenever the scales
systematically are tipped
for far too long in favor of
unchecked
wrong
behavior
until along comes a Savior
wielding a big fucking hockeystick
walloping them upside their dickheads
with a thick, creamy, rich Karmic
BITCH
SLAP

Then it's time to lie in beds
of their own already made
---penalty box without a pot
or anywhere else to piss n
moan except against ...

History is a Poor Record Keeper.
I miss things I know I shall never witness
But also thank the heavens that destruction will be missed
I switch on the television
If I were Le Prince I would be livid
Thinking of how my life ended
On those tracks as I went to patent
Damn Edison
So called 'father of cinema' is such a dick
But as I sit
I appreciate the efforts
Of the devoted scientist
I appreciate the research of those like Jared Diamond
How location and opportunity are what ensures dominance
Our genetics are not lesser...

To thine be the glory"
exclaimed the Emporer
"I've taken the binary!"
replied the first lady
"We'll keep her"
voted the public
as they replaced it
in taxes
and invisible clothes
