Earth Crimes
We tore the last tree down
burned butterfly wings
pretended things
would be Ok
We joined the queue
at the church of too late
and waited
to be saved
still counting our dollars
while we looked the other way
burned butterfly wings
pretended things
would be Ok
We joined the queue
at the church of too late
and waited
to be saved
still counting our dollars
while we looked the other way

Homo Sapiens
A box made of mirrors
An ozone of glass
I am always alone
And it never shall pass
Blinding reflections
And cuts on my wrists
When did these shards
Enmesh with my fists?
I turn my hands over
The tears will not fade
They fall unbidden
My expression is staid
My heart hurts more
If I do not kill
So answer me this:
Should I cut myself still?
Yes, my hideous reflection
You’re more than correct
You are not in the wrong
What more to dissect?
You’ve shielded them,...
An ozone of glass
I am always alone
And it never shall pass
Blinding reflections
And cuts on my wrists
When did these shards
Enmesh with my fists?
I turn my hands over
The tears will not fade
They fall unbidden
My expression is staid
My heart hurts more
If I do not kill
So answer me this:
Should I cut myself still?
Yes, my hideous reflection
You’re more than correct
You are not in the wrong
What more to dissect?
You’ve shielded them,...

meadow predators
the thing to remember
about wolves
sleek beasts that they are
is that sheep
don't see their teeth
until they're going for the throat

‘who’s there’
instead of
‘no’

Future Human
Sadly
This is where we are going
Freaks, misfits and worse
I tried to warn you
You didn’t listen
Now you clean up the mess
This is where we are going
Freaks, misfits and worse
I tried to warn you
You didn’t listen
Now you clean up the mess

Enhancement Semantics
Enhancement semantics,
demanding a tangent,
have planted such candid dynamics entrancing.
Enchantment remanded,
lest chancing Atlantic,
is France and Atlantis in dancing enactment.
Some dragons with angles,
their camera cannons,
outlandishly channeling perilous planet.
From arrogant anguish,
commandments unpracticed,
while pharisee phantom has heresy handled.
The damnable sadness,
as cherub can ravage,
humanity's damage that's fallibly average.
Our fantasy famished, ...

Garden of Eden
Snakes slither on concrete when the grass is cut
They appear in human form with smiling faces
Devious lies laced with deceitful eyes
Sinful minds plot on innocent souls
Presenting them with the forbidden fruit
Money, drugs, sex and fame
All enticing entities that will destroy your self identity
Take a bite of it and realize the sweet sensation isn’t worth the bitter aftertaste.
