Polluted Poetry
Seagulls thrive on trash
Man created a hellhole
Will we ever learn?

Glowing Hands
They say the eyes are the windows to the soul
But lately it seems they're fixed on screens
From televisions to computers and mobile devices
Everyone is on their gadgets from adults to teens
Everyone is doing it, walking and some even driving
Fixated on whatever it is the internet is providing
And though technology gives us the world easily
The human experience seems to be sliding
I don’t mind the glow from people’s hands
Off in their own world, whatever that may be
But when there is beauty all around us
Our spirits slowly lose...

Gentle Refrain
gentle refrain I am shaken inside
my self doubt apparent
you judge what you don't comprhend
a tortured existence
a lady with pieces missing
at best I'm vulnerable
at worst my self esteem causes me to question myself
my moral compass points differently
I believe in kindness
but wonder does it really exisist for one like me
broken of spirit my soul weeps
sacred heart be kind I've encountered cruelty
it smiles at you while it evicerates
I don't know how to respond
except to feel guilty
and...

fire and ghosts
the fire
lit up
ghosts,
they glided
around
the black
sands
of death,
exiled
from home,
dancers
trespass
through
these dreams.

Future Human ( Box Head )
Not pretty
Possibly functional
Still in development
Technology in control
Produced without sex
Human ?
Stay tuned

Evergrown
Spinal frond
visibly unfolding
as an indispensable
essence of Being
Its pelvic basin
of blood and bone
Holy os sacrum—
Soul's
arterial seating
Roots extend
anchoring
to burn
in the earthen
kingdom
below
Imperishable stars
ornately crown
its heavenly
kingdom
above
Our cerebellum
a centered revelation;
an arbor vitae ...

what if...nevermind (featuring 3rdEYErising)
I'm tired of the what if game
no longer willing to play
what did what if ever fix
wondering never undid shit
& I live in reality
where change occurs only by my actions
choices & behaviors adjusted
what if is a daydream I can't afford
a shapeless creation only affected by my imagination
if...I cause it to happen
take the clay of that daydream
& mold it into what I have in mind
what if is but a prompt
a kick in the ass
only as valuable as I choose to make it
but as an idle occupation...
...it's time...

Charades
In every human nature something secret resides
righteousness and virtue have another side
like someone cheating but accuse another
deep inside self-disgust and unhappiness fester
there may be some who genuinely show
their true selves in every demeanour
there may be some planting judas kisses
on the cheeks of those they pledged a vow
playing their life like a charade
with masks to include some intrigue
palms together smiling with pride
for successful friends but jealousy writhe within
lips speak with kindness yet...

Crazy Alien Sex
Interspieces sex is
pretty hot because
aliens have weird
body parts which
is very hot indeed
What kind of child
can can be created if
alien and human
had crazy ass sex
might be very
interesting so let
do our mating
exercises to get
into all weird
sexual positions

The Greater Good
There is risk in all derision
Since payback is a beastly bitch
Which haunts every rude decision
Folks make to scratch their mean streak itch.
And round and round the itch will go,
In perpetual invective,
Which will not ebb as much as flow
As the knee-jerk's first corrective.
Unschooled, as they always are,
The reactionaries abound
Loving to spread blame near and far
In busybody Sensurround,
Which, stupidly, they hope will shame...
Those aware of their shitty game!

Brain Washing
There's a bitch of another degree screaming that she hates me
To keep shit on track, I fucking hate her ass back
If the color of the skin that I was born in seem to offend
Hahaha, causes you a problem, pause existence, fast forward and reverse that's my skin
You can dig this bitch up until earth looks like swiss fucking cheese
I've been moving around this bitch like pussy and keys
Look at this skin tint, I know that you think I'm mocha
Hahaha, suck all you fucking want this shit is guaranteed kosher
See the fucking matrix bitch as...
