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...

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.

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...

“When you acquire enough inner peace and feel really positive about yourself, it's almost
impossible for you to be controlled and manipulated by anybody else.”—Wayne Dyer
in the throes of circumstances,
i’ve been overlooked,
as the pow’rs of choice and chances
pass me, overbooked.
often am i undervalued
by their cheating scales,
measured by hate’s spiteful prelude,

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,...

I Think Not...
As the saying goes, age before old grace
Sorrowful, you wanted a taste
Ahh.. the door was slammed in your face in disgrace
I make the rules in my castle and who sits by me upon my throne
Sent you away without the doggie's hard and long bone
Having you salivate from afar.. after waving to you.. hoe be gone
Watch it... when the truth is not on a crooked one's side
Funny how a pale one always screaming what you wanted, not even fair seeming
Wake up, you old bitter bitch,...

My Final Words...To You
To you my love,
By the time you read this letter, I will be passed on
Please don't cry.
I know how much you loved me & I loved you.
The pressure from my wife and "The Boss" was getting the best of me.
I know she was going to find out everything about me and all of my secrets.
I owed "The Boss" over $30,000.00
He was out to kill me.
It was either me serving prison time, or being beat and murdered by him or me committing suicide.
Obviously I went with the latter.
No one can or will trace me to you.
No one knew...

A War Of Hearts (Helen Of Troy)
Yes, bring to me this Helen of Troy
She is the woman where her name is written upon ancient strolls, her debauchery to use men as manipulative toys
She claimed my soul in the middle of the night
Her kiss of betrayal lead to the Trojan War in the dawn before early’s light
A femme fatale of beauty, grace, decorum, her temple of shroud holiness, has deceived the masses
Broken alliance among the wealth of many classes
Her alluring soul, entwined unto mine has diluted Kingdoms into bloodshed and sword upon its clashes ...

Their Numbers Don't Make Sense and since they aren't the band the Talking Heads, Maybe They Should?
I would like to think I am not a sheep
blindly following the Democratic label
more than one occasion
I have rejected voting for a donkey
even for president (1996 voted for dad)
The Republican Party illustrates why
math is vital for more than ever
they disregard the basics with numbers
in their quest to destroy
what has been the foundation
for advancement for all people
Lets start with the venom directed
toward Barack Obama
even if you don't like the dude
we should all reject the notion
