21st Century Psychic Wars
Long worn out from the 21st century psychic wars
Shifting paradigm algorithms stimulate
The crux of slavery
Where no man is, someone goes to corrupt
Destructive deception, deceptive destruction
Emotional disposition is secondary to psychological conditioning
The law language logistics legislate logic
Hearts on sleeves beat like machines
A cover drumming to drilling for oil
Carnality, sounding crescendo
Masses concentrated convert magic to money
Money becomes nothing, like relativity meets alchemy
Family value is...

Cataclysmic Dawn
Cataclysmic dawn.
Captured instance saw.
Rationed vision was.
Lasting picture paused.
Graphic physics on.
Lapping distance strong.
Massive witness bonds.
Past eclipsing drawn.
Statures synching spawn.
Mastered twisting yond.
Fractions fitting long.
Axis pivots plot.
Mapping visits stars.
Saturn synching sought.
Grapple limits large.
Rather bigger cogs.
Factor finished start.
Backing bidden far.
After isn't ours.
Passion misses Mars.
NASA missions small.
Travel...

Demonolatry
Demonolatry
Scream idolatry
Seen a sprawling leak
Keen to call it freak
Seeming constantly, each adultery
Weaving harlotry, thieves and audit see
Reams of forgery
Thesis conjuring
Scenes accordingly
Creeping quarterly
Leading laundering, legions commonly
Keys responsively, keep the cornering
Region watering
Fees but fostered seeds
Each recording speaks
Dream apostasy
Decent lobbying,...

Insanity Within Humanity
She looks over the edge of temptation,
They whisper in her ear,
"One more step my dear,
All your worries will disappear."
She questions her sanity,
With more pills made by humanity,
That state her mental health,
Is the reason for her insanity.
She tells herself it's time to go,
To the world's end,
No one will ever have to know.
One leap of faith,
For an angel with no wings,
She jumps forward,
Listening to the things,
She has been called.
You hear a smack,
A...

How Much Do We Actually Know?
What do we actually know about nature?
The things we know are what we conceive them to be.
How much do we actually know?
We don’t have accurate knowledge about everything we claim to know.
Misleading information exists everywhere.
How can we tell whether the things we know are true or false?
Some people seek knowledge about many things.
Others just want to know enough to get by.
We should not believe only what we see.
Many things exist beyond our knowledge.
Not everything we know is worth knowing. ...

upon reflection...forget genuflection
1 of 30
somebody please explain to me
what's this obsession with that social ladder
...blows my mind
how attractive people seem to find it
but they're all frantically trying to climb it
like it takes them somewhere special
honestly...they're not really even moving
just going through the motions
claiming status by osmosis
dropping names like grenades
hoping to shake things up
like I give a fuck...
I'm not exactly at the bottom of the chain
but I sure can see it clearly from here
it's full of...

The Mystical Arts
The mystical arts are missing in heart.
Dismissal of God on missions so dark.
Equipping with darts, a hissing ajar.
Remission should start when listening sharp.
Our kingdoms regard what's business if war.
No kinship can march like whimsical guard.
Petitions to charge some wisdom embarked.
This isn't alarm, as wickedness warps.
Within its own charm, religion would warn.
Conditions before some Christmas remark.
Her bringing departs, how children reward.
Have witches won large, dominions afar?
Those...

shadow self
when night swallows our shadows
holding them hostage
returning them only in daylight
it's a reminder
half of what we are...
..is dark
all smiles under sun's rays
trying to hide the unwanted aspect
& there it is
plain as the nose on your face
following you everywhere
constantly changing shape
stretching & condensing
putting on weight
just trying to fit
into your falsely defined space
as you stuff it further down
lying to yourself...
more than anyone else

for the sake of sanity
if it ain't worth
dying for, then
it ain't worth
arguing over
build a bridge
and get over it
buy a Van
move and on
be like the dying
and just let go
dying for, then
it ain't worth
arguing over
build a bridge
and get over it
buy a Van
move and on
be like the dying
and just let go

hiccup
gleaning from fact and fiction
with visions of past events
Sacred art is understanding
wealth of knowledge is what I crave
Putting away earthly things
The dark appears, and I look in
It is all around us
my star records are in the heavens
memories locked in code
lest they be discovered
Mortal touch is disavowed
divinity in the flesh is graced
within the numerals is the key
a bit of math, and the information comes pouring in
past happenings and the future in collision with time
There is no fate...

well to the abyss
wind howling through darkness
...is nothing to the scream
...of hunger in the veins
{careful now...}
neck taut...
and eyes narrowed
seeking the delicious scent of prey
{she's dangerous...}
blood simmers beneath the surface
as she waits...
crouched...
beside rugged stones
{ohhh beware...}
where shadows conceal...
...and water shrouds
every leach and aquatic beast avoids her gaze
hers...
is a caress too terrible to bear
{try to fight it...}
she lowers...
