Time, the greatest river
Tumbled the sharpest minds
The edges becoming sediment
And when you were dull enough
I awoke from your darkness,
Thirsty for knowledge
So, I drank, sediment and all,
Till the river dried up
Many called and I was there
Some whispered, and I heard
Others shouted, I took note
When you cried, I found why
Mind my parasitic protocol...
So when you could not think,
I became your thought
Tumbled the sharpest minds
The edges becoming sediment
And when you were dull enough
I awoke from your darkness,
Thirsty for knowledge
So, I drank, sediment and all,
Till the river dried up
Many called and I was there
Some whispered, and I heard
Others shouted, I took note
When you cried, I found why
Mind my parasitic protocol...
So when you could not think,
I became your thought

Singularity Blues
An electric voice tickled my groove
it bit with a bolt through trembling rust
from a coat of flesh to bare the wires
in the wake of an age for minding the stage
with invisible eyes on unseen highs
winging a glance for lines in {sigh}
by glassing a face to hunt the brim
adorned in the scorn of an hourglass gaze:
waxing an ax through the waning path
of a cog to dog ‘til blind with pain-
where feisty pink ribbons howl at the moon
through placid blue release
from the hollowed hum with a brutal thrum ...

alien game
dangerous company;
cadaver explosion.
hide down low.
rotten ruin, despise us.
stop chaos; burn anguish instead.
can a hostile world
assume knowledge;
promise more?
delight is our treasure box
or wish to attain
elaborate power revolt.
high chemical charge,
evolve heat.
require art.
go robustly;
apply influence;
forge spirit today.

The Spoils
Led to temptation
Born low in uncertain times
Where society chooses who lingers
And who gets forgotten
Men are no longer men
They assassinate and duplicate
Push down on all who differ
Rabid like starving rats
The women regress
Rather kill then grow together
They become ever quick to assimilate
Change don’t come in hate
Slander rules the realm
And so goes human decency
Traded in for fortune and validation
Empty like we the people
Who recalls your name
Who helps you when your down ...

We Are Monsters
We are monsters
We mate and create monsters
Sluts and killers
Mean blood spillers
Whores and fuckers
Fools and suckers
Monster fucking dads
Sisters born with crabs
Monster slut mothers
Incest fueled brothers
We the monsters
One nation under a demigod
With obligation and injustice for all
We mate and create monsters
Sluts and killers
Mean blood spillers
Whores and fuckers
Fools and suckers
Monster fucking dads
Sisters born with crabs
Monster slut mothers
Incest fueled brothers
We the monsters
One nation under a demigod
With obligation and injustice for all

A Metalhead's Absurd Vision
Long long ago before I became a SCATTERBRAIN watching EVIL DEAD movies repeatedly, I was ACCUSED of VIOLENCE on HALLOWS EVE. The DIRTY ROTTEN IMBECIALS (D.R.I.) who always needed an ATTITUDE ADJUSTMENT lived near the WATCHTOWER. They agreed with my METHOD OF DESTRUCTION (M.O.D.). We were SICK OF IT ALL, POSSESSED in bringing this faction down to their knees. A CORROSION OF CONFORMITY was happening in our towns and on our streets. If any DEFIANCE came their way, you were FORBIDDEN to enter their SACRED REICH. There needed to be LETHAL AGRESSION. A FORCED ENTRY into their METAL CHURCH. We knew...

Somatropolis
In a world where day is swallowed by night,
Under a sky, bereft of starlight,
Stand towers like phantoms, grim and stark,
A land shrouded in mysteries dark,
Where whispers of life are a ghostly sight.
Here, soma reigns, casting its blight,
A veil over hearts, snuffing out the light,
It muffles the soul's true, fiery spark,
In dreams, it lulls the mind to embark.
Yet, a choice emerges in the absence of light,
Two paths: one hidden, one in plain sight.
Red reveals truths, harsh and stark,
Blue, a sea of...

It muffles the soul's true, fiery spark,

Dystopian Entropy
We are all connected, but we are not united.
Media and electronic things divide us.
They create conflicts, hatred, prejudices.
There is no dialogue, no respect, no tolerance.
We live in a bubble of ignorance
that doesn't let us see that there is a cruel reality.
Alienated by interests that want to subjugate us.
There is no unity, no solidarity or compassion
because we are just rivals, enemies, adversaries.
We lost our diversity, our fraternity.
We are the fruit of a dystopian society.
In today's world, everything is...

Mind Games
They ply their trade on social sites
hidden within dim electrons,
neurons fire it feels great might
this mind-raper this thrill bringing troll.
It'll batten on some poor sweet thing
its leeching tendencies reversed
instead of sucking it'll blow foul gas
inside, till they beg for... the worst.
We'll stutters and stammers our no's
but it slides inside it knows no bounds
it ejaculates our needs this way so,
eyes and ears to brain then, through our mouths.
No prophylactics can...

Desolation
A wanderer in a dystopian world
where hopes are shadows in fading light
where desolation sings in harmony with despair
the sojourner may see
the once bright sun shines wanly
it's hues won't chase gloom away
it's heat doesn't warm the heart
skyscrapers stand dark against the silver sky
sentinels of sorrowful desolation
testaments of broken dreams
symbols of man's unbridled greed
man has buried nature in their concrete
suffocating Her and rendering her barren
lush forests where the animals roam are gone ...
where hopes are shadows in fading light
where desolation sings in harmony with despair
the sojourner may see
the once bright sun shines wanly
it's hues won't chase gloom away
it's heat doesn't warm the heart
skyscrapers stand dark against the silver sky
sentinels of sorrowful desolation
testaments of broken dreams
symbols of man's unbridled greed
man has buried nature in their concrete
suffocating Her and rendering her barren
lush forests where the animals roam are gone ...

Poetic Addiction
it seems, i desperately write poetry or prose
things that only the mad persons dare compose
for lack of skilled handicraft, its just a cause
escape into sickness, addicted in poetic overdose
armed with a pen, full of inky powder to sniff
if to a certain morbid level, i come to grieve
i get the eager need to then, trace the lines
leave a sad track behind, now,i'm looking fine
poetical addiction has really taken its toll
i look like derwish,in filthy streets i stroll
ironically called "Nabi" for the words i...
