World of Filth
Humans are destroying mother earth
fertile lands toxic, decaying rebirth
air, land and sea are heavily polluted
deforestation, extinction, trees uprooted
corporations profit, not a care for our well being
asthma, emphysema, difficulties breathing
diseased animals, FDA approves to consume
aquatic life tainted, lead in our blood stream, awaiting doom
man made diseases, a global threat to our demise
extinction is certain, time to revolt, time to rise
fertile lands toxic, decaying rebirth
air, land and sea are heavily polluted
deforestation, extinction, trees uprooted
corporations profit, not a care for our well being

In The Year 2020
I never dreamed I'd live to see
A world wrought with wide spread disease
The day that I would want to toss out my t.v.
And saturate my life with only CD'S & DVD's
I never thought that life was fair
But there's so much corruption everywhere
No one trusts anyone anymore
There's fake news claiming to air the truth
A presidential election claimed stolen
without a single ounce of proof
What in the world will society do
When the coronavirus shifts to just the flu
And social security has flown the coop?
A world wrought with wide spread disease
The day that I would want to toss out my t.v.
And saturate my life with only CD'S & DVD's
I never thought that life was fair
But there's so much corruption everywhere
No one trusts anyone anymore
There's fake news claiming to air the truth
A presidential election claimed stolen
without a single ounce of proof
What in the world will society do
When the coronavirus shifts to just the flu
And social security has flown the coop?

full disclosure
guileled freedom in plaid
indignation wrenches the reigns away
saying time for a change
full disclosure empties its thoughts
vomiting dignity then watches as it dies a slow death
I swing wide I'm not going out that way
dressed in black
darkness cloaks me,
rises all around me
climbing the ranks of the highest principalities
justice will be done
insecure governments
who's driving this car?
the politics of the day says the hour is late
fear takes control intimidating me
a bully shows me my death ...
indignation wrenches the reigns away

climbing the ranks of the highest principalities

a bully shows me my death ...

Political
I'm not political
I'm rational
Something has to give
There is no peace
Never has been
Mankind is made up warriors and victims
Fear supersedes brethren
Money poisons everything
Just the way it is
You live within it
Carve out your own
4 more years of bad hair is not acceptable
Flies either
Enough said
Vote

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

Freedom from a distant King
(are we there yet...?)
letters borne on white billowed sails
flags of distant land flying
all hail the descending royalties
smug fat faces shiny and smiling
oh how they exude benevolence
bend the knees, palms to forehead
deities from the skies, all hail
never a step missed
never a frozen face frowned
words of welcome murmured
never above the safe decible
they are greedy girth spanned wide
deny them not their food and drinks
born of the peasants sweat
palsied fingers paying ...

Click
Show me where
in this world
a billionaire
is without the blood
of someone on his hands
Show me case history
where there are no ghosts
shadowing his money trail
Or maybe the man
who built the machine
isn’t all bad
Maybe he works late
from a 58th floor
on Wall Street
counting the dead
on an abacus
How simple
ancient
innocent
Maybe the sound
of those clicking beads
is all he needs
to make him happy
After all,...

We Are Our Own Creation
I’m standing at the ground level of existence
Looking around at the ridges and mounds of persistence
The erosion of my depression has terra formed the mounts
I attempt to climb the levels between needs and wants
Each level is sow with a different version of my pain
From row to row I choose to reap me again and again
Calluses built, nails broken, as I climb between levels
At the base, life wasn’t acknowledged as I lied with the devil
But he had no use for humans and he screamed, “fuck earth”
Hahaha, he pissed on nothing, and asked me...
Looking around at the ridges and mounds of persistence

Jungle of the World
Our Mistress of the World
Is angry at people who
are causing pain to
our world by hurting
other people while
She's trying our best
not to fight but we
need to fight the
system to make
our world a better
place to live in
cuz it's a jungle out there
I'll try to protect
Our Mistress of the World
from the wrongs and
Keep her clean from
All Dirty Politics

Bigshots
Leadership! The buzzword perpetual
worshipped through the patristic eons
by the pallid preconceptual
and all of their sycophantic peons.
"All hands on deck to swear!"...
say the captains by Beatitudes,
then, by their demeanors you can compare
...antipodean human attitudes.
Actions prove when morality is lost
and ethos quoted more than followed
are values that may as well be tossed
as less mud wherein the hogs are wallowed.
Leadership! That faithful permission slip,
that let's them smugly flop...

Discrepancy Randomness
Discrepancy randomness.
Retentively, catalyst.
Identity labyrinth.
Momentously, aggregate.
Exemplary practices.
Ineffably, management.
Effectively animate.
Presentably, variance.
Expectancy heritage.
Dependency, transient.
Sequentially average.
Subjectively, balances.
Pretentiously passionate.
Propensity, adamant.
Supremacy arrogance.
Necessity, merited.
Celebrity advocate.
Potentially, glamorous.
Obsessively patented.
Especially, fabulous.
Susceptibly hazardous. ...
