Pig In A Suit
Pig in a suit grizzly stench of death
Spewing a lie never blinking twice
Muttering insults under vile breath
Teflon soul with a heart cold as ice
Evidence denied video has a flaw
Conveniently it wasn’t working that day
Projection is nine tenths of the law
Turns out that’s enough to simply walk away

Maxed Out & Defeated
Advertising temptation
A credit possession driven nation
So determined, so obsessed
With having only the best
Swipe away what isn’t yours
To compare and compete
Take out another loan
Beg, borrow, steal
Fancy car, you’re in debt
House on show, not your asset
Immaterial, material
Death by debt
Blinded by greed
Termination damnation
They got everything to lose
It’s all taken by the bank
Drowning in booze
Society fueled by greed
Just know your children watch you
And they will follow your...

anarchy
anger arcs and peaks
wicked verses escape me
vertigo of the soul
escalating in the revolution of the world
here we go kids
time to wake up
unveil your face
we're entering into a different zone
ride the elevator all the way down
the hierarchy is in control
deciding who comes and goes
buckle up the ride has just begun
a sickle gathers souls
the machine is conquering and dividing
a mass deception meant to divert your attention
look what's happening under your nose
you're going to vote ...

After Work at the Bar
She liked teasing
I liked being teased
She was my part-time secretary
Big tits, nice lingerie, morals free
Perfect for me
She always needed cash
Come pay day I'd flip her a twenty
She'd get real close
Unbutton her blouse slowly
Invite me to cop a feel
She needs a raise I thought
Friday nights after work
We'd all get wasted at the bar
She'd slide in real close
Sometimes go to the back booth
The make out spot
You could smell the desire
The couple before us
Left a scent of desperation ...

DRIFTING TO NO WHERE FAST
Can you picture thyself just drifting in a boat going no where fast, just drifting upon the calm waters as you are welcoming the calmness of a soft breeze. JUST carrying you by chance far away as you sit in your own subconscious of your own thoughts. 🤔 For as you smell the fresh air breeze against, the very touch of your skin softly brushing, against your hair blowing with each breeze. As you feel that there is no other place, that you would rather be, here as you are totally at peace. Escaping from that place that has somehow been of the world 🌎 with imagines of changes ...

Independence Day
I.
The kick of equality
across a continent
and a dose of
What. The. Fuck
does not match
the Q&A quiz
I took at 18
when I could finally vote
"What can you not stand, Tammy?"
"Hypocrisy."
Yet -
here it is—mangy hair
matted to the scalp,
shoveling the ground
to bury bones of truth
every passing moment
Its lids barely hang
by the teeth of its skin
blocking its eyesight
to democracy
dragging all that weight
killing off the last...

The U.S.S. Tyrannic
People knew just how stupid things could get
then proceeded to vote that way again
so all their ballots could aid and abet
the greater evil and his toady men
now mandate confident with sucker votes
for double down syndrome bloviation
insisting on lies, or at best misquotes,
to finish off a once mighty nation
full of dipshits he knew would never learn
due to multivariate addictions
and subsequent lack of public concern
in the joint space of shared afflictions...
all tarred and feathered as communism
since private...

Greedy Bastard
Can you not just be content.....
Content in this moment......
No need to experience anything new.
You have it all.
Right here,right now.
You're the lucky one.
But the saddest one.
Awake in your future.
Asleep in your NOW.
Does the sky ask for more?
Content in this moment......
No need to experience anything new.
You have it all.
Right here,right now.
You're the lucky one.
But the saddest one.
Awake in your future.
Asleep in your NOW.
Does the sky ask for more?

Cult of Personality
They want to lead people to the promised land
They wish to build the perfect society free of damnation
But first they must cleanse it and be rid of all that is bad
Filling people with fear that they too may be a damned nation
They speak with charisma, with certainty, with power
But the message brainwashes and turns people into slaves
The masses buy into the idea of one deranged individual
And they follow their messiah blindly even to their own graves
The deliverer stands proud there behind the podium
Book in one hand, a fist in the...

Profiting From Fear
boomtown pandemic
everything sold
with fear
old con men
new opportunities
targeted
vulnerabilities
nothing off limits
when it comes to
creating easy money
no missed oppertunity
taking a mark
its about
feeding these anxieties
pressing buttons
that rip past
protective barriers
normally in place
your friendly
neighbourhood
virus
unlocks reason
making the perfect
21st century victim

Dressing for the ball
diagonally in time
moments crossed
poorly lit
in the alleys
around corners
in the depths of darkness
elephants
that no one sees
because they are so white
the elephants
and its sinister frankness
................... gray
the elephants
with its immense
difficulty
In folding napkins
and plucking their eyebrows
in the darkness...

Darkened Nature
Can you lie awake with me tonight
I hear the scratches in the walls
Hell is trying to get out into the light
It wants to know all of yall
Can you feel the darkness as it surrounds
Yes that is your heart beating like a fucking drum
The world is bleeding all around
We all want to see Hell come, want to see Hell come
The ocean just burped micro particles of plastic
Garbage island isn’t a myth it’s a fucking fact see
No one wants to take responsibility for the oceans being so tragic
They act as if all of the ocean’s pollution...
