Stay Strong & Focused
It's so good to hear you sounding so good and happy, man that's awesome!
It's good to hear about someone out there destroying it
It's so hard to do anything these days
Got that right
You have to pass through so many nowhere's and plow through so many nobody's to get anywhere
All the miles each and every day you have to go through just to get to yourself
Stay strong
Stay focused
It's good to hear about someone out there destroying it
It's so hard to do anything these days
Got that right
You have to pass through so many nowhere's and plow through so many nobody's to get anywhere
All the miles each and every day you have to go through just to get to yourself
Stay strong
Stay focused

Head Case
Woven into my skull the lies you preach
Constructing talking points out of thin air
Attention whore so in need of validation
Seeing nothing behind your vacant stare
Unquenchable is this thirst for ignorance
Which is displayed every time you speak
Peddling empty promises to the masses
Overcompensating to not appear so weak
I’m so tired of constantly seeing your face
And dealing with a simple minded head case
Constructing talking points out of thin air
Attention whore so in need of validation
Seeing nothing behind your vacant stare
Unquenchable is this thirst for ignorance
Which is displayed every time you speak
Peddling empty promises to the masses
Overcompensating to not appear so weak
I’m so tired of constantly seeing your face
And dealing with a simple minded head case

the net and hordes
you are new to me no matter the length of stay
come forth from the darkness and announce who you are
there is a familiararity...a pattern I cannot name
you leave and erase and come back again
your depths reaches out to me
you think I am to judge?
simply put I was born different
struggling with terribly crippling anxiety
alone and heavily medicated
torurtuous lot I've fallen in with
isn't it enough I march?
picking myself up
when you fail to see

Becomes to much
As long as you can make sense of the things, that have silently appeared in your life and world, 🌎 that has been affecting your own thoughts and insight and mind. For as the weight slowly, begins to come more heavier then you can understand, or tolerate the pain that seems to slowly bring, with it's a deepness of hurt. 😞 As sorrow begins eating away, at your own subconscious thoughts, that have been broken into pieces of the heart. 💔 For sure life was never meant to be easy, for everything that we have to go through, is not what we imagine life to be. For sure it's...

WHY DO I WAKE?
Why do I wake?
For you, I ache
with a burning
toss-and-turning,
Unrequited
lust is spited
by your absence
from my presence.
For you, I ache
with a burning
toss-and-turning,
Unrequited
lust is spited

Music and Politics
Do you remember the days
When you heard the radio play
We are the world
And “One” on Bono’s tour
We just wanna have fun
Was chased by I wanna dance with somebody
Are those days done
Hello anybody!
A Smooth Criminal was played all-day
Now we have one in the white house
Hip hip hooray
Yea quiet like a church mouse
I remember when the wall came down
The shock and awe of it all
I remember when another house came down
It was crazy. We knew who started that ball
There was a singer named George...

Let's Get Cynical, Cynical...Again
I despise people who are two-faced liars
They pretend to be something they’re not
They get mad when the truth is too hot handle
Then change the narrative when they get caught
I dislike individuals who are duplicitous
They smile but talk smack behind your back
Acting nice in one place but toxic in another
Their narrative is a bunch of poppycock
And if they get political
It’s cynical
They’re so hypocritical
It’s miserable
I don’t want to hear that gaudy talk
Nope, I don’t want to hear that bawdy talk ...
They pretend to be something they’re not
They get mad when the truth is too hot handle
Then change the narrative when they get caught
I dislike individuals who are duplicitous
They smile but talk smack behind your back
Acting nice in one place but toxic in another
Their narrative is a bunch of poppycock
And if they get political
It’s cynical
They’re so hypocritical
It’s miserable
I don’t want to hear that gaudy talk
Nope, I don’t want to hear that bawdy talk ...

Closing Time
https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xGytDsqkQY8
Last drinks shouts the tender
drink em up
it's time to be out
I need to get home
so sip the last of your beer
slam down the last shots
head toward the outside
the chill of the night
fought off by the incoherence of
alcohols numb
the wisps of the smoke machine swirls
and clings like sad fog
to the crusted carpets
where booze and blood
bile and tears have stained my memories
with exquisite times and the haunted agony
of a thousand-thousand poets ...

Knuckle-dragger Rampage
One chess game teaches ramifications
and yet we continue to pollute
with every counterproductive commute
in our ecologic relations
since we are the apes who refuse to learn
beyond our personal advantage
and all of the progress we mismanage
into a declining maelstrom churn
of an ever baneful Charybdis mash
no doubt to be soon set aglow someday
by waves of radioactive decay
long smoking like a global calabash
because the anger of Earth's apex ape
preempted sapience from taking shape.

Torrents of Insanity
In the broken mirror of the mind,
distorted reflections dance,
echoes of laughter and tears,
in a sea of dreams and hopes.
Colors that scream in silence,
shapes that disappear into the air.
reality dissolves
in a whirlwind of non-places.
Words that are lost in the wind.
Verses that never meet.
Logic bends and breaks
in the torrents of insanity.
And in the chaos, beauty emerges
like a flower in the desert.
The soul finds its freedom
in the depths of the uncertain.
distorted reflections dance,
echoes of laughter and tears,
in a sea of dreams and hopes.
Colors that scream in silence,
shapes that disappear into the air.
reality dissolves
in a whirlwind of non-places.
Words that are lost in the wind.
Verses that never meet.
Logic bends and breaks
in the torrents of insanity.
And in the chaos, beauty emerges
like a flower in the desert.
The soul finds its freedom
in the depths of the uncertain.

Day 24
What have I even done today??
It seems my time has wasted away.
Had a good workout and breakfast, that’s great –
but then everything fell right off my plate.
Hours of recording got lost into space;
didn’t swear at the help desk – oh what grace!
Catty politics from the NIMBY crowd;
I refrained from speaking my thoughts aloud.
That job interview was a mockery too –
turns out they didn’t want someone new.
The best thing about this day of frustration;
enough gripes to fill a six-couplet creation!

In Your Face
What you say to a poet should be
carefully measured, not edited.
Do not mistake caramel
and the sweetness
of silence for censorship.
If she is blind, she will still peel
one good layer of your laugh,
she will have an analyst come
to your window in the night
and scrape the breath
from your pane to ensure
you are not sneaking a secret --
if she is not blind she will
poke holes through the air,
a pocket to insert your 7th
grade fear of mundane,
you're exquisite talent
for evasion as a child, ...
