Flesh of the Fallen
Wrought with rot of wounds that time forgot
Faces of the dead and living, all were distraught
He galloped through time, continents, and many places
From battle to battle, race to race, he left bloody traces
His steed was a red colored horse
Sword in hand he utilized brute force
It is said he is one of four
His name....The Horseman of War
Faces of the dead and living, all were distraught
He galloped through time, continents, and many places
From battle to battle, race to race, he left bloody traces
His steed was a red colored horse
Sword in hand he utilized brute force
It is said he is one of four
His name....The Horseman of War

Crowd Control
Why would you need to call in the military
Threats of lethal force from a leader that's scary
Smoke grenades going off, followed by a national guard force
Family pitted against family ignorantly protesting the source
This motherfucker was foreseen a revelation ago
He would ride the bitch to power and then pimp hate like a hoe
Buying up all of the bullets, gloating, ready to give the command
But how are they going to enter the battlefield and kill their brother like any other man
There are a lot of mothers and daughters that are fighting...

numb to the societal cycle
sighs*. you know; even if somehow magically miraculously-"love" was to hit me square in the heart; if things started to drastically change for the better....
perhaps the depression would reduce, but i honestly don't feel as if i were to be any less pessimistic, or introverted....
i watch attentively, and a lot of what I see are things being over glamourized, superficial matters, etc. social media like a pot of boiling grease....
*sighs*.... i don't see what they see.... if i suddenly by some miracle had a significant other-i'd rather...

And The Truth Shall Set You Free... Always
We are marching into the last month of the calendar year momentarily. I do hope everyone’s Thanksgiving was well deserved, being in the company of loved ones and family friends.
Please keep in mind, winter will be here shortly, therefore, make sure if you believe in getting immunized, get you a Flu Shot, your Pneumonia vaccine, and yes, your Covid immunization and a Booster.
The winter months is when society suffers from various respiratory related elements, and some can lead to hospitalization once exacerbated.

"cure" for the "core" beyond fuel for life's source..people give it labels like thnxgiving
in a world without "mirrors"(manmade reflections of all sorts).... nature's water drawls one nearer; imagine an isolation so deep, that a visit to the source couldn't be less brief....
one doesn't care about one's appearance that much.... just a grab and go-with one's storage day worth water flow.... for some(myself included).... that's the reality....
interaction? i mean-we can speak, but.... isn't less not best-if one values peace? because, what exactly do...

the roses cry for me
sitting alone in a colicky room
surrounded by blank canvases
all the real artist have gone the way
of the dinosaur
the roses cry for
me
the weight of love arriving
is crushing,
the weight of love leaving is
quietus
the roses cry for me
the sun is lead away by the
horizon taking its warmth
with it,
the chill aches the bones
perpetually
the roses cry for me
the past a beautiful song,
today a sorrow
so many yesterday's,
so few tomorrow's ...

The Naughty Corner
We told you
but it was
no use
You wouldn't listen
and look what happened
Over and over
and over again
the same sad story
Greedy little fools
firing popfarts at the moon
You already forgot
the dust you trod
on poor old Mars
and it's hard
for us to help
the way you are
but just remember
it'll take a long time
maybe too much
before you're grown up
when Venus
is finally
cool
but it was
no use
You wouldn't listen
and look what happened
Over and over
and over again
the same sad story
Greedy little fools
firing popfarts at the moon
You already forgot
the dust you trod
on poor old Mars
and it's hard
for us to help
the way you are
but just remember
it'll take a long time
maybe too much
before you're grown up
when Venus
is finally
cool

Welcome
I no longer see as I once did
The feelings that I have are no longer hid
The darkness that visits me in the middle of the night
Dark enough to make a solar eclipse seem like broad daylight
I am at one with this realm and there is no fright
Trust none of your senses, especially not even sight
To simply lie back in the bed with my arms behind my head
I smell and feel a strangers grave, I am filled with echoes from the dead
They know me, some think that they know me all to well
Promises have been made and there are secrets yet to...
The feelings that I have are no longer hid
The darkness that visits me in the middle of the night
Dark enough to make a solar eclipse seem like broad daylight
I am at one with this realm and there is no fright
Trust none of your senses, especially not even sight
To simply lie back in the bed with my arms behind my head
I smell and feel a strangers grave, I am filled with echoes from the dead
They know me, some think that they know me all to well
Promises have been made and there are secrets yet to...

dark void
the darkness always waiting like a friend; though can't guarantee where tickets send if any trip;
if one way or if back again-i'd wish this wasn't happening....
i wish i had certainty-that my spirit leaves this prison flesh-and off into where best it gets; wish i had connects, to travel to the other realms existing between life and death....
oh, because this shit sucks til nothing's left.... the double edge
of loneliness; the "human" wants to experience while the other parts knows and shows how just existing is a consequence....

With Two Heads
They think that I'm the love splitter
Breaking hearts while releasing the zipper
Swinging with a vengeance because I'm a one hitter
Pledging eternity while knowing I'm a quitter
This shit that I call life has really been fucked
I'm like Odysseus, motherfucker, when it comes to luck
Murphy's Law in the flesh, just bet that the shit will happen
I've even been accused of fathering a kid without the need for pussy tapping
Hahaha, this is sometime funny because life's a bitch
If there was anyway it could happen...
Breaking hearts while releasing the zipper

An Idiot's Understanding
When logic and reality begins to mesh
And the only thing that matters is someone else
No longer afraid even welcoming death
Then understanding is the only thing left
Finally having cracked the combination to existence
The key to achievement is persistence
Following a path that you know is right
And remember that everything comes to light
Don't be afraid test the tides
And remember even to fail, you've at least tried
By placing every effort into every stride
You become the law by which everyone must abide
...
