freestyle(inspired by mobb deep's hell on earth)
I'm not a saint, but I'm not "evil"- it seems that in a space such as america-you need an alter ego-because you know we live inside the "devil's fables"-and a slice of its pie is on everybodys' table....
how many Odes, and NDE's do we need?; death is apart of life-but it's excessively increasing-with or without reason-or "policing"....
one "bucks" for the "doe" it's a below the belt show season- it's safe to say that it's just about most beings-this how we socialize-styling out...

I've been humbled many times-so many times-enough to recognize that my driving force to write isn't pride....
might as well have been "baptized" over 1000 times-for a higher rise than any "religious life...." like for something that doesn't limit light....
I'm sure you get it, right?
strip me bare-for there's nothing here on earth to truly satisfy any appetite(bottomless pit); just ego drive evoluted-paved way by the prototypes.... ...

Fly Like An Eagle...
TicK Tock…
I wanna fly like an eagle to the warmth of the sun
Where the moon upon man’s repentance cannot hide from
Let the air carry me above in flight as my wings spread in the quest to be free
Where the reminisce of my soul my fall and be floated away by the current of the sea
Exemplifying to be the best, casting first stones, promising in vanity to be the chosen one, no, it is only an assertion which wallows when the mind is mentally unfit, resurrected as a misfit, when you are blind and cannot fathom your small presence among the...

the rumination of some neo hippy wearing a " Good Vibes Only" tee shirt on the corner of 12th and Market St.
I no longer care
if you care
and more
importantly
I no longer care
if you don't
care
to be perfectly
clear
your existence
isn't important
enough to me
for me
to concern myself
with what you
think of
me
if you care

I no longer care
if you don't

to be perfectly
clear
your existence

Our Union America
Give me liberty or give me death”
my soul doth sing
since the iron furnace of Egypt
and desert wandering
Afflicted in our mortal search are we
but Heaven’s bow bends mightily
in the mist its arrows of justice glow
and from the scourge of pestilence
has brought us up
by pillar of fire and smoke
to these sacred shores
The lines of liberty written
one by one
composed by victory and by blood
that runs in sinews of strength and truth
and by the highest law of love
Trussing the noble human...

just another horse in the race
that very first scream; entering the realm of schemes; introduced to pain upon scene; naked, and unaware....gasping for air....into the realm of "dreams"
just to think one started as a seed; and now.... storing a series of memories.... some born an outsider-unwilling to play this "game" of Monopoly....(most definitely including me)
see the big picture for me is to try to live in peace; and to leave gracefully.... my mind held captive by my body which doesn't even belong to me beyond...

Your Parasympathetic nervous system reacts
FIGHT
or
FLIGHT
Modalities
What terrifies the most
No matter who we are
living in our tiny hearts
There's a rapist and a Nazi
a cannibal and a politician too
there's a bad man in everyone
The world don't care if you live or die
In fuckin fact
The worms and crows are waiting around
for you to decompose
If you are lucky
All that rotting blood and guts
will end up smelling of roses
or
FLIGHT

MAN CREATED GOD
God didn’t create man, man created god?
Is there an omnipotent one?
Or does the human race have such a need for answers, and to be wanted, that it can create new worlds and ideas that shape our lives today or are these worlds so real we cant escape them?
Well what is the answer? Answers are just excuses.
No one really knows true answers, scientists believe they have all the answers, they speak and we believe all they have to do is wrap up a problem with numbers and calculations they call it an answer but all it is, is a theory of what they want to believe they do...

Armageddon
Well, my good people. We are at the threshold of entering dangerous times and within this detrimental incoming Democratic Political Administration. In spite of that, I do hope the second half 2022 will be a prosper year for you, as well as your family.
There is something wicked this way cometh, and I cannot stress that notation enough.
Some actual facts to take into consideration, times are returning to standing on your own, your own ground. Under the new gun laws, it is not unethical to buy a gun with no proper training and no classroom training.
