thoughts percolate...
my heart wants to believe the best of others
but my mind...
holds a catalogue in memory
having borne witness to evidence
entirely to the contrary
& heart views a glass half full
mind sees it half empty
in truth...
it bears the same contents
it is...what it is
as a feather
plucked from a wing
no longer capable of flight
left merely to drift
near weightless
at the mercy of a current
such is the wandering of my thoughts
where heart sighs
& minds flinches
because we...
but my mind...

Black Rain of the Wet Maze
Women will cheat on a good man and remain faithful to one in prison
Just backward bitch shit is how these foul ho’s are livin,
“With skank attitudes like their pussy they will never be a winner
Always the leftover sides and never the full dinner,
“But the real bitch shit is from the fake bitch motherfucker
From birth his ass should have stayed vacationing up in his mother,
“Battling the placenta and that demonic unwashed funk
So life would not be disgraced by a pussy-hearted punk,
“Or the children still living at home...

Dilly Beans
taste the tomatoes crack open a jar of dilly beans
late august in the thumb can lead you anywhere
sweet corn melted butter watermelon seeds
still feel the sting of my summer skin
something inside stirs with the coming of fall
the cool breezes of my memory take me
there is a little red in the maples
the high school band is marching down 15
football is in the air
got to get that last ice cream
before they close for the season
tonight i think i'll have a bonfire out by the creek
make some smores smoke some weed
and listen
...

maybe we've had it wrong all along
they watch...
with their glass dagger eyes
sharpened to the point of gouging
razor tongues ever at the ready
eager to slash truth...
...into something more suitable
more in line with their toxic savagery
their ears like pools of poison
soaking up & destroying honesty
as it drips acid from their mouths
who knows from where these ghouls originate
as they spread lies...
whispered into porous minds
allowing such foul germs as judgment & hate to pollinate
turning them into a singly directed organism
many...

Kamala’s Birth
Like the border she can’t keep her legs closed
That is why America is getting fucked like two-dollar ho’s,
“Straight raw or with a busted illegal rubber
And Kamala knows the world thinks of America as a stupid motherfucker,
“The military cannot make their quota and is transgender weak
If a war with China and Russia kicks off America may last a good week,
“If she wins the presidency then it will be the United States of California
And for the identity of America. Nice fucking knowing ya’,
“Remember, she said ‘I will not...

Something's inside
You wish you were asleep.
You wish you weren't alive.
You wish so many things but you haven't opened your eyes.
You aren't real on the ground.
Just look at that beast in the mirror.
Don't you wish you could be free?
It couldn't be any clearer.
Sounds around you.
Are you scared?
Shrieks and screams ring.
Flesh and clothes flee.
Ripped from their homes.
Shhh...
You're safer alone you think.
But soon you realize.
That subtle note sings every time in bed you lie.
Bloodshots reappearing old...
You wish you weren't alive.
You wish so many things but you haven't opened your eyes.
You aren't real on the ground.
Just look at that beast in the mirror.
Don't you wish you could be free?
It couldn't be any clearer.

Ripped from their homes.

“I listen and watch more than I speak
But when I speak it’s not for the sensitive and the pussy ass weak,
“Understand my demonic mentality as I sip on soul wine
So fuck a motherfucka crying, because my sinister ass don’t have the time,
“For illegals, dirty politicians and unnecessary war
You can church house that shit where fake pastors pimp Jesus like a whore,
“Now like a faggot midget to short too reach low hanging nuts
Motherfuckas are brainwashed woke and allergic to female cunts,

she carries water
each day,
everyone
watches
as she
makes that
long walk
to
the river,
knowing
she goes
to bring
water back,
and yet,
each day
passes,
not one
would tell
her
there was
a well
in the
village.

We Make Our Own Family
Sharing the same skin
ain't what makes you my kin
Doing the same good
is what makes you my blood
Rangers
Seals
Motorcycle clubs
Masons
Omegas
We come together
To fight the same fight
Might not look the same
But stand strong for a brother's rights
Can't judge a book by the cover
The Amish and Proud Boys may look alike and sport the same beards
But those two groups could not be more different
Rudyard Kipling may have come from the same place as Gandhi
But their words, and...

Let Thy Will Be Done
I am tired of going to that daunting dimension Archangel Michael, my earthly incarnate King
Those creatures down there do not understand the spiritual laws of life, death, rebirth, they thrive off the existence of money bags, vanity, and the wearing gold chains encasing their neck to keep the mind incarcerated with material wealth in the name of bling bling
Why should I continue to waste my time on souls who are just not listening
Do not know the portal by times, and why the stars in the sky are still glistening
No, my handsome Heavenly Angel I...

gossip
gossip begins then it brews
gets under your skin
there it festers
until you are swinging mad
and you're hurting the ones you confide in
from there it gets out of control
one word, two word, four
pretty soon you don't know how it started
but it's become a raging inferno
hurting those around you it spreads
from one person to the next
insidious greed it desires fodder
so the next person is scorched as it continues onward
the nature of it so cunning
you might think yourself immune
until it turns on you
...

soul
feeling grateful for my experiences of the soul
melancholy beauty is all the more gentle
because of the sorrow I've felt
sadness embodies me
it makes me much more approachable
within my sanctuary, I grieve for loneliness
emptiness of faith
my heart is pure
if I'm hurting you'll know
no guile will you find
trespassing across my lips
decency of emotion
you get what you get with me
I'm a serious person
who feels too much
I take on other peoples moods
they mingle with my feelings
I adore...
