emptiness
what does it mean to "love"(the word some rather not use) someone; what does it mean to not have room- like a space that does exist but somehow not available-
but when the "right one" comes around- they may or may not want that room-
what does that emptiness come from- because complexities consume- there's always something "drawing lines" or conditions that are set- conditions one wouldn't/couldn't meet- opposed to the portrait seen when eyes first met....
everyone doesn't want that thing called...

To the Floor
Health CEO’s are being assassinated,
Trannies bullshit about getting medically castrated,
“Too long for VA disabled veterans have waited
And old bitches have forgotten the feeling when they masturbated,
“I gives no fucks if a health CEO die
Society don’t care about a black woman losing a child whenever she cry,
“Just another black child that don’t deserve a look-huh
At least the woman and her child didn’t deny anyone to balance a book,
“Teaching and promoting that gay shit on TV and schools
You woke motherfuckas...

Remembering First
This spell of the world.
Compelling unfurl.
Intelligible.
Non-sensical curse.
What's selling assures.
Your melody mirth.
A skeleton dirge.
Where dwelling meets earth.
Ephemeral hearse.
Exemplary urn.
Heretical church.
Lest hellion rebirth.
Their swelling occurs.
Such leavening slurs.
To tell me disturbs.
Unhealthy disperse.
Our well is but dirt.
Extremity thirst.
Suggestible surge.
Indelible burn.
Dependency searched.
Unhelpfully hurt. ...

Anti-evil
Pittinix is not anti-white, neither is he anti-black.
He is not anti-Semitic, neither is he anti-Arab.
He is not anti-Chinese, neither is he anti-Indian.
He is not anti-rich, neither is he anti-poor.
The poet is declaring that he is anti-evil.
Race and status do not make a difference to him.
He is against anyone who matches the description of evil.
Moreover, he hates hypocrites and evildoers.
The poet will always speak the truth boldly.
Evil-minded people cannot blame him for who they are.
He is not anti-Semitic, neither is he anti-Arab.

Palimpsest
Echoes of old stone-
Blood, quills, the stars all entwine.
A child's voice ascends.
Blood, quills, the stars all entwine.

Better or worse
People think about others
That's just a fact
But they do it in two different ways
Some people compare themselves to their supposed superiors
Those who they believe are better than them
Others prefer to ignore that
And focus on those who are worse, inferior
Is it a cruel trick or fate that we all live this way?
Or is it simply the common flaw of humanity?
Perhaps comparison is simply our truth

Given Goner Gloom
Distant dawn has news.
Inner call infused.
Sprinkle spawn bestrew.
Living carbon rule.
Figure yonder zooms.
Fickle far removed.
Kingdoms long bemuse.
Bidders born abuse.
Business bothers bloom.
Brittle blossom blues.
Fiddled foster youth.
Silver strong with spoons.
Sinner song produced.
Singer solemn food.
Tiller rotten fruit.
Filtered fondness juice.
Wilder want assumes.
Simple starlet view.
Hinted harlot hue.
Kinship followed suit.
Cyclic cosmic clues. ...

Catching the First Bus Out of Town
Philosophers are philosophers to ask
unanswerable questions
and then ask why
the questions are unanswerable.
the world turns,
and circles the sun
time tockingly advances,
all life moves from beginning to end,
it is only the mind of man
that is stationary
and rooted to this time and place,
forever doomed to repeat
the mistakes they will make tomorrow.

Echoes
Bestirred by a radio app today,
reiterating the infamy date,
I recollected what my dad would say
about how that war affected our fate.
Sick, he had stayed home from Sunday school
where thusly by a broadcast he had heard
of the sneak attack on Yankee rule
and the international afterword...
which in a few short years saw him training
with artillery to use on Japan
when their empire was at last waning
along with their co-prosperity plan...
but Russian threats, and the atomic bomb,
had his odds increase for troth...

Decapitated Emotions
You have to watch out for golddiggers-so don’t be slippin
Because they will drain you without fuckin, then you in the category of simpin,
“But bitches pulling a Kamala Harris will only entertain a loss
When they realize I’m the motherfuckin boss,
“So they betta ride that Megan the Stallion out the door or Beyoncé Bounce
Because money, cum or love the bitch won’t get a goddamn ounce,
“Women who approach me like that has already fucked up
And like a Leprechaun escaping with the gold she is shit out of luck,
“If a ho’...

reality/dreams/ being(s)
I wished I were an "alien" if it meant that I could teleport to one's spaceship- and ascend into a pleasant state of existence;
"culture" is a double edged predicament; I wish there were a list from which one could choose what society one'd like to inhabit-
like "liberation" within reason; it's true- i absolutely agree- that existence isn't what it's been hyped up to be; it's like those sort of misleading twisted random dreams you wake up from like-
yea something...
