Drawing From Dry Wells
Diagnosis by way of experience
At the surface is all I want to be seen
When secrets are the things of nightmares
Fetishes of fleshly delicacies embody the devils dream
Pawn to plagues
Wrath thirsty stones
Isolated, we sit
In the anguish of our lethal thrones
Articulate the symptoms
Contagion like a silent auction
Mixers of our demons
Cocktails of individual concoction
Placing bids upon the trafficking of the soul
Indulgences lure, hearts for trade, con man giver
Fooled into investments made and stole ...

Some needed justice
I hear a pig's radio outside my window
It's 2:30 am
I look out the window
I see a pig screaming in some youths face
I decide to crack the window open and I hear...,
"YOUR HAMMERED, TANKED, WASTED, BLASTED, SKUNKED, FRIED, LOADED, SLOSHED, WRECKED, TOASTED AND PIE-EYED!"
"I HAVE COMPLAINTS OF YOU DEFACING PROPERTY AND DISORDERLY CONDUCT!!"
"WHAT DO YOU HAVE TO SAY FOR YOURSELF??!"
I couldn't hear the boy, he's talking to low
He couldn't be no more then 15
Pig says, "WHAT IT WASN'T YOU?!",...

the Black Rose
Greed leads to more avarice,
And any form of lust,
One must acquire all things coveted,
No matter what the cost.
Even when the cup runneth over,
And spills on to the floor,
All the time they say "it's all mine”,
And then they want some more.
There’s no satisfying the hunger,
Let alone control the urge,
But men come to lose their humanity
Beyond insanity they splurge.
Greed leads to more blatant greed,
The need to feed won’t stop,
Regardless of who or what gets in the way,
They always want to...

Came Back To Shore After Swimming Naked
Briana
came back to shore after
swimming naked in the water and
discovered that Simon was filming her with his
camcorder which made Briana want
to cover her chest and
run away.

The New Hate
Versed against desire
What words in motion to sate the thirst for fire
Crucifixion before resurrection
The cross is not just an escapists will to survive
Dying to self is the means by which we truly come alive
The lost art of sacrifice
It’s like we’re falling in every way but love
Pulled apart by the divided grips of gravity
Starving and feeding
The scarcity of hope is the feast of our depravity
It’s not a question of the truth Your heart will tell
But the replies of bloodthirsty compatibility or the unrequited hell
...

The Myth of Human Decency
Case the heart as you make love like war
Make yourself at home at another’s ground zero
When all you do for anyone else is self its for
When the villain masquerades as the victims hero
Ambush, striking in ways unexpected
Wounds exploited with eyes infected
All you see is everything through the lens of your own scars
As if the blood you shed is what makes you who you are
Ego tripping, the acquired taste
Paraphernalia made of a liars friends
Gold hearts gone to waste
The user thrives on the means to their own ends
...

Profiting From Fear
boomtown pandemic
everything sold
with fear
old con men
new opportunities
targeted
vulnerabilities
nothing off limits
when it comes to
creating easy money
no missed oppertunity
taking a mark
its about
feeding these anxieties
pressing buttons
that rip past
protective barriers
normally in place
your friendly
neighbourhood
virus
unlocks reason
making the perfect
21st century victim

motives matter
it seems to me
the only reason to ban history
is an intent
to re-inhabit it
bury the truth
making it more unrecognizable
when what was
& should never have been
becomes reality
again

Came Home Early To Surprise His Wife
Jonathan
came home from Chicago
early to surprise his wife Heidi
only to have Jonathan see Heidi cheating
on him with their neighbor Harrison
who was also naked
on that bed.

Unfathomable
I can’t fathom the exploitation
I can’t fathom the situation
It’s recreation
It’s all a laugh
A hallucination
I can’t pretend I understand
I won’t pretend I can withstand
All the demand
It’s all a joke
It’s a damned land
I can’t pretend I comprehend
I won’t accept being condemned
Means to an exit
Means to an end
It will all depend
Depends on your fascination
Depends on your determination
To seek the truth
To seek the proof
The falsity
The validity of
Oh what’s...
