Do Not Take Relief Upon Innocent People's Grief
Do not take relief upon innocent people's grief
Addiction is not only being slave to drugs, under cocaine control, or beneath a boss's hand kowtowing like a meek sheep, enslaved to their swaying stick, to their whims and extravagant desires, to look like a tamed animal,, you may also fall into slavery being a dependently addicted user, when those drugs, those psychedelics like LSD or mescaline, assail your whole attention, play on your real optical visions, give you a negative feedback on the world around you, affect your life for the worst, make of you an object of...

Serpent's Work
We get poisoned by
the black mamba
snake to succumb
to his way of evil
by doing his dirty
work like killing
drug dealers who
sell their shit
to innocent kids
because kids our the future

the virtual psychiatrist
greets me from her well-appointed living room
i don't like her on sight
but i keep an open mind
five minutes into the appointment
she asks about my sleep
five hours a night
sometimes three
when Fitbit shows me a six
it's cause for celebration
that's your problem
she states bluntly
nothing is going to get better
until you sleep seven hours a night
seven!
that happens about twice a year
i know she's right
honed right in on it
i like her better
i can't...

Take It
The clouds are not cotton candy
and no unicorns are here shitting
rainbows and skittles, it’s just the
city, sticky with a side of grit
A perfect world would be fucking dandy
but alas, the fists of life keep hitting
knocking on thin walls without pity
until you scream “goddamn this shit!”
Some bourbon and smoke would be handy
drowning it all while you’re quitting
throwing down the real nitty gritty
pushing the plunger for the big hit
The hourglass broke and left you sandy
open to no rules and restless...

Poison and Flame
There is a serpent, and there is a dragon,
They bargain for mind and heart,
With tongues and scales,
Through shedding skin and ashes,
Broken promises of euphoria.
In their witching hour,
Hypnotic, manic induction,
Feverishly driven,
A temptation and tease,
Replaces abundance.
With the moon behind the sun,
As shadows darken,
Purpose is plundered,
Through fascination,
A wondrous curiosity.
Stubborn and boneheaded,
The battle with eternal conviction,
Control and choice are...

Miles away from the city blues
smokin her ether rolled up in a tight joint
takin puffs of my favorite heroin{e}

on some 1983 wild-style

wondering 'bout girl 6
ridin dolo on the 6 train
walkin 'round Soho in a sundress...
enjoying the summer breeze
panty-less...of course
easy access..if granted

Scourge of the elixir
The scourge of the elixir
The potion of fate
The purge of the fixer
seven seconds too late
Minute by minute
And hour by hour
The salve to be swindled
From the seeds of a flower
Chasing the dragon
from his chalice, we sip
Unsheathing the needle
In search of the trip
The guise of the wired
The skin of their thrones
Their emotions misfire
To cast vie to their bones
Farewell, my reality
Force my mind to a place
Where I’ve really got nothing
In that world there to face
...

feel
my emptiness speaks from deep inside me
I deny the truth because it hurts too much
I run from my feelings taking refuge inside the numbness
comfort found in the arms of substances
I can't seem to cope without my dope
truth be told I never have
damn it I feel too much
pacing the perimeter of my life
wanting to escape if just for a moment
fake it till you make it class what bullshit
I'm happy for those of you it works for
reliving my past just makes me want to get high
in anguish, I pasted a smile to my face
in agony,...

Aspirations of Apathy
Nothing is real.
Nothing to feel.
I have been drunk with some crazies.
Far afield of what is acceptable,
At least I think so, how the hell should I know.
At the end of the night – Miasma.
My built Ford tough tolerance clear.
As the crazies do what they do.
One sings the same song in different variations.
The others laughed at heart break.
Traces of paradise possibly veil me.
I can certainly feel the singing.
Momentary thoughts open up in liquid portals.
My lunatic laugh stays in silence. ...

On My Shaggy Shit
Here we go again traveling to another so-called haunted place
While I blow chronic smoke in my home dog’s face,
“We have been dealing with this creepy shit for so long
Sometimes I think about turning my crew to ghost-am I wrong,
“Little do they know I carry a gun I nicknamed the ‘Ghostmaker’
For those fools at the end who are spiritual fakers,
“Because a long time ago my ass stopped all that running
I’m not trying to lose weight so a motherfucka started gunning,
“Let Daphne and Fred Karen asses...
