Freedom In My Movement (Love Found In My Stillness)
Blinders on while wallowing in sullen garments passed down by whores
Pretty words, fletched from the wishing wells, dipped in the forefathers’ tongues feeling the karma of its fourscore
Bathing in the spillage of blood, bitter fruit echoes from the tress, yet, to the mirror’s reflection promoting self-love, not found in the depth of my purifying seas
Whips and shame lament captivity housed in chains, tattered of flesh tarred and feathered, cries of freedom no more
I have seen, heard the intellect crying during systematic pain
Color blinded by whitewashed...

The Freedom of Love
- The Freedom of Love -
A philosophical and spiritual work for the betterment of all humanity.
Life does not begin with the grave, nor does it begin with the womb... life begins with an act of love. For without love, and without passion, and even I daresay without lust... life would not be brought into this world. For whether through natural or artificial means even, life can only exist from out of a desire. Whether a desire for life to exist in and of itself, or a desire for another... it is desire that brings life into being. Thus, it is foolish that mainstream...

A Crippled Depressive Left To Fester In Solitude
A Crippled Depressive Left to Fester In Solitude
The Mind Grows ripe
All of it goes in one ear and out the other
After all
There is nothing more interesting in passing the time
Than the notion itself
Especially when it's pace slows
And it's presence becomes all too noticeable
An uncanny burden is the mind which counts it's heart
As if it were an old clock
Desperate to shut it up
Irritant like the buzzing of a fly
Now is the time to drown out the world ...

Born Free
All hail the born-free generation!
How blessed are we, that we were born free?
Our bodies are free but not our minds,
Our labor is free but not our thoughts,
Our tongues are free but not our lives,
Our legs they open them for free but not our hearts,
Our Oxygen is free but not our health,
Our stress is free but not our smiles,
Our votes are free but not our rights,
Our poverty is free but not our dreams,
Our scars are free but not our healing,
Our struggles are free but not our peace,
Our freedom is free but only in the minds...
How blessed are we, that we were born free?
Our bodies are free but not our minds,
Our labor is free but not our thoughts,
Our tongues are free but not our lives,
Our legs they open them for free but not our hearts,
Our Oxygen is free but not our health,
Our stress is free but not our smiles,
Our votes are free but not our rights,
Our poverty is free but not our dreams,
Our scars are free but not our healing,
Our struggles are free but not our peace,
Our freedom is free but only in the minds...

BATTLEFIELD
It's been this way for centuries
So we must trust no man
Learn to read your enemies
Or they'll kill you where you stand
Soldiers man your stations
This is what you've waited for
Remember all your training
As we go to war
Defending someone's life
is much bigger than a legacy
We don't need your distractions
or your homicidal tendencies
It seems to me you're neck deep
into one too many pleasantries
Gee it must be nice to be
above all of this peasantry
Hesitate reluctant with your kindness

I deserve
You deserve
We deserve
We deserve better than this
I’m not inspired to fight for the freedom
To be a parasite
To say anything, consequence-free
To live in denial, delusion and distraction
To worship the “free market” and its occupying armies
To destroy the very planet we share
To commodify everyone and everything we love
To hate everything we are
“Freedom to” can become “freedom over”
When it flows from a society divided
I’ve earned
You’ve earned

Reprieve .
He should have been know as colours as his soul was tethered to the dawning of new days . In blues and whites with a smatterings of greens . Every morning that his eyes set upon such simple gifts he felt very affluent given gold coins to put in his pocket. He wasn’t a man to waste time he had been challenged in ways you don’t want to be and it made him blatantly aware of that rhythmic beating in his chest and how with the grace of god he had been blessed . With a reprieve of living with the knowledge that it had been a close call to close for comfort but he was was miraculously gifted extra...

King for a night
I wander aimless
in the midday heat
the world on my back
just my own two feet
and a ready roller
for the road
It’s two pm
with my mouth real dry
I wander in
to a pub near by
sink a few
while they’re nice and cold
Now I’ve had a scoop
and I’m feeling fine
the day is over
but the night is mine
and I wonna dance
and sing
I wonna fall in love
for just tonight I’m king
beneath the stars above
so baby take a chance
Come dance with me under the...

Mind Flatlined reactive-inactive
I could really do about now with being rescued by a some freedom or success.
But in this world, this time, this moment of destruction, inner peace I can not acquiesce?
If I feel what they feel but stay apart and alone.
Then what's the point of it all, why should I make efforts to atone?
They say forgiving others is actually forgiving oneself.
I say fuck them, that's nonsense, with nothing left hate is my wealth.
I don't carry that money with me, on me, all of the time.

War is the mechanism in which the control of the weak over the strong is replenished in perverted cycles. Progress is the drumbeat that leads to that... and money buys the titles.
Fear is the method of our repeated enslavement, our dreams collapsed and caving.
Liberty is the unkept promise that kept the naive children from misbehaving.
Freedom isn't a right granted by others, it is a carrot on a donkeys stick.
Keeping you on a path awash with blood which must be hard trodden till ill and sick.
Love isn't an emotion, it is the synergy between the...

For the People, and For the Earth!
- For the People, and For the Earth! -
It is not infrequently, that upon witnessing the state of things in the world I find myself moved to thus ponder what of it should be changed. I behold this dark era wherein brutish regimes goad their countries to war against innocent nations, who valor in defending themselves reminds me of such struggles in the ages of the past. Though that may as well be a world away from where I live, I feel the pain of each and every innocent that dies in such conflicts. And then I look at the nation I live in, where people are each and every day...
