World of Filth
Humans are destroying mother earth
fertile lands toxic, decaying rebirth
air, land and sea are heavily polluted
deforestation, extinction, trees uprooted
corporations profit, not a care for our well being
asthma, emphysema, difficulties breathing
diseased animals, FDA approves to consume
aquatic life tainted, lead in our blood stream, awaiting doom
man made diseases, a global threat to our demise
extinction is certain, time to revolt, time to rise

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 ...

The Proud Politician
he stands in the halls of power
standing tall and proud
he is a shining star
a champion for the people
his smile looks sincere
his gestures are compassionate
a beacon of hope for the future
but all are pretentiously deceptive
a charmer who kisses babies
kiss the hands of the elderly
shed tears when someone dies
is it the loss of votes you regret
he soothes the masses
with his smooth voice
promises to cure all ills
and to build cities of utopia
pretentious politician quit...

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...

Border Patrol
This world is at war;
it dreams of security within walls
snaking invisible lines
between a bloody Babylon
of foreign dialect
I reminisce about poetry
old cities and moonlight—
sacrosanct altars in worship
between a collarbone and lips;
a final culture of pleasure
under a microscopic watch;
stay close, keep the faith—
lest a border be built between Us;
were not our ancestors strangers ...
it dreams of security within walls
snaking invisible lines
between a bloody Babylon
of foreign dialect
I reminisce about poetry
old cities and moonlight—
sacrosanct altars in worship
between a collarbone and lips;
a final culture of pleasure
under a microscopic watch;
stay close, keep the faith—
lest a border be built between Us;
were not our ancestors strangers ...

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...

Dog Choler
Never to give it all a second thought
MAGA goes kicking and screaming
in denial of all their scheming
even after they've all been caught
and pled guilty before the judges,
the cameras, the people, and the papers,
about all of their scams and capers,
and their baseless cacafuego grudges.
But we are not the shod to be rode rough!
WE THE PEOPLE...have had E-fucking-nuff
from the cacafuego nexus of loss
promising bloodbath revenge if they win
and no way up in their policy spin.

Broken Goverments
Goverments are broken
because of the Covid 19 Era
We need to fix this now
Because we are living in
Newton's 3rd Law: Aftermath
Which is of has destroyed
small businesses because
of the frenzy and our
goverments try to help
but they are stuck
within the corruption
of the system
So when are the
machines taking over
to bring us into
Judgement Day
because of the Covid 19 Era
We need to fix this now
Because we are living in
Newton's 3rd Law: Aftermath
Which is of has destroyed
small businesses because
of the frenzy and our
goverments try to help
but they are stuck
within the corruption
of the system
So when are the
machines taking over
to bring us into
Judgement Day

Asking Jeeves
In nature's toupee sporn of falling leaves
the deli of trees and sleeveless weaves
gathering thieves of old men and hooters
conceived by the winds screaming solo
knuckles and stones rising what lingers
over graves of poets in herringbone
a thundering herd of narcissistic birds
wearing spit-shined shoes and stilettos
in nature's toupee sporn of falling leaves
asking Jeeves for a shoehorn
the deli of trees and sleeveless weaves
gathering thieves of old men and hooters
conceived by the winds screaming solo
knuckles and stones rising what lingers
over graves of poets in herringbone
a thundering herd of narcissistic birds
wearing spit-shined shoes and stilettos
in nature's toupee sporn of falling leaves
asking Jeeves for a shoehorn

Pigs
Pigs on the left
Tories on the right
What we gon’ do?
We’re gonna start a fight!
A fight between the classes
An uprising of the masses
A battle of ideology
We’ll rise from the ashes
The ashes of deprivation
Degradation
And alienation
The ashes of feudalism
Liberalism
And fascism
Oh why can’t we see beyond
All the bollocks
All the rhetoric
Why have we stopped seeking the truth
Seeking justice
Seeking equality
Tories on the right
What we gon’ do?
We’re gonna start a fight!
A fight between the classes
An uprising of the masses
A battle of ideology
We’ll rise from the ashes
The ashes of deprivation
Degradation
And alienation
The ashes of feudalism
Liberalism
And fascism
Oh why can’t we see beyond
All the bollocks
All the rhetoric
Why have we stopped seeking the truth
Seeking justice
Seeking equality
