Broken
I was more innocent than I ever knew,
Dreaming of picket fences, a life steady and true.
You were supposed to be my anchor, my safe place,
But the tides of life have washed away that space.
Growing up in chaos, I fought just to survive,
Learning to love, yet always deceived.
You seemed so stable, with your family intact;
I longed to be like that, but you turned your back.
Your loud rants, dreadful words, and hurtful hands
Ripped apart the glue that barely held my strands.
I didn’t know how to love, completely broken,...
Dreaming of picket fences, a life steady and true.
You were supposed to be my anchor, my safe place,
But the tides of life have washed away that space.
Growing up in chaos, I fought just to survive,
Learning to love, yet always deceived.
You seemed so stable, with your family intact;
I longed to be like that, but you turned your back.
Your loud rants, dreadful words, and hurtful hands
Ripped apart the glue that barely held my strands.
I didn’t know how to love, completely broken,...

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....

Have You Seen My Wife ? - a true story
Have you seen my wife?
the creaking floors, the hollow walls,
the garden where he planted beer cans
that bloom without joy.
She was the spark in his life once,
or so he thought
a face a caramel tart,
a voice like honey,
a promise dressed in silk.
But promises break,
don’t they?
Their house became a carnival,
not of laughter but of strangers.
Friends from overseas filled the guest rooms,
toasting her beauty,
praising the home he built.
Their cheers drowned the whispers
he refused...
the creaking floors, the hollow walls,
the garden where he planted beer cans
that bloom without joy.
She was the spark in his life once,

But promises break,

Friends from overseas filled the guest rooms,

The Hollow King
In a moment of betrayal, when trust was laid bare,
Laughter masked the anguish, a heart shattered to weep.
A master of illusion, weaving pain with such ease,
In shadows of affection, innocence fell to its knees.
Sweet words turned to mockery, a cruel, chilling game,
As manipulation tightened its grip, an unrelenting claim.
Each promise, once vibrant, now wilts in decay,
Echoes of sorrow linger, where love faded away.
Behind God’s name, a hollow king hides,
Using Jesus as a shield, while darkness abides.
A wolf...
Laughter masked the anguish, a heart shattered to weep.

As manipulation tightened its grip, an unrelenting claim.
Each promise, once vibrant, now wilts in decay,
Echoes of sorrow linger, where love faded away.

Using Jesus as a shield, while darkness abides.

Letter To America
Dear America and your illusion of greatness. Your wealth and prosperity and honor and democracy. Has not been built upon these principals and ideals, that you wish others to believe that this country was built upon.
It was built upon a theft of a nation, the blood and sweat of a nation and human degradation. Not on the moral grounds of humanity, yet it was built on the dehumanization of the people you have violently snatched it from.
On the whipped backs of slaves, and on the trail of tears that you have created. What civilization have you given those that you have...

Government is a Scam
Government is a sanctioned shell game that lets contributing and controlling businesses make gobs of money out the wazoo while sticking "it" deep into me and you
Well Damn It's a Scam
Whether by truck, plane, or tram
Do crime against Big Business
And with Fed Tyme you'll be slammed
Reagan "fired" striking air traffic controllers
Canada's Prime Minister "intervened" against the railroad workers
Biden "took an interest" and "offered assistance" for Teamsters and rail workers to find resolution...

Tinseltown (collab with AfterSexDilemma)
Plastic people, faux life
Celebrities shine,
Amongst the pain & strife
An illusion of a directors thoughts
Cesspool in Eden
Pleasing the studio boss
Artificial in everything that's seen
Pictures of beauty
Reality is a dream
Never think more then you know
A testament to your image
Look your best, before the show
Wading in a shallow pool
Drink it up like a fool.
Trees a plenty and lost inside.
A forest, crazies, come to hide.
Hollywood, shining bright.
The stars,...
