Lying over the truth
I have lied through life
I've been caught numerous times
My life's a facade
I've been caught numerous times
My life's a facade

Independence Day
I.
The kick of equality
across a continent
and a dose of
What. The. Fuck
does not match
the Q&A quiz
I took at 18
when I could finally vote
"What can you not stand, Tammy?"
"Hypocrisy."
Yet -
here it is—mangy hair
matted to the scalp,
shoveling the ground
to bury bones of truth
every passing moment
Its lids barely hang
by the teeth of its skin
blocking its eyesight
to democracy
dragging all that weight
killing off the last...

THE GAME OF CAT AND MOUSE
Do you see ME through your own eyes as you see ME through my hurt and pain, do you see the steps I had to learn and grow to understand wholeheartedly that sometimes life gets the best of me. Do you see the reason why I am the way that I am due to the absence of love and honor and respect, even though I have a good heart and soul yet I am treated as though I don't even exist. As an individual who still has love deeply within my heart, yet I chose to remain silent within the dead of the night amongst the darkness that surrounds me, like a blanket silhouette submerge deep within the depth of...

she carries water
each day,
everyone
watches
as she
makes that
long walk
to
the river,
knowing
she goes
to bring
water back,
and yet,
each day
passes,
not one
would tell
her
there was
a well
in the
village.

Society's Footnote
Self-absorbed fodder's ink-brushing hair
naked reflection dark shades of the mind
narcissistic weeds of a footnote in society
obsessed as a spider dressed in a veil
planting seeds to the dark's epiphany
in their sociopathic garden...
"Mary, Mary, Quite Contrary"

They won’t believe you anyway.
A neurological pathos of nightmares
spins webs of malignancy winding through
my mind.
It breeds a silent desperation for which
I isolate in kind.
Blood pressure forces the mercury
to climb as I’m blistered by an anger
that I simply cannot find.
Terrorizing memories looped to
constantly remind.
Tuned for war in laboratories that do not
exist. To speak such things is insanity, so
in lies the perfection.
Led beside the still waters where there
wasn’t a reflection.
Free to reverse engineer our deepest ...

Trash
I'm amazed that there's still the sort of folks,
Like backward billies stuck up in the hills,
Who don't get that they are the butt of jokes
About the racial hate their pride instils.
It's pretty clear, at least it is to me,
That there's no such thing as a master race
And anyone who claims a supremacy
Winds up with boastful egg upon their face!
There's no advantage in being lily white
Or having trigger fingers with an itch
Willing to shoot their neighbors dead on sight
Because as racist humans...they're a bitch, ...

hypocrisy ~for the self-righteous
God walked into a room
he smelled of sacrificial wine
the saintly gossip circle was in full cluck
"whispering do you smell him?"
"he reeks of alcohol"
laughing as they looked down on him
they even got the priest
to do a sermon about the shameful bum
he heard their murmurs
and picked up on the thinly veiled
innuendos threw his way
each one spiked with razors
he finally stood before the congregation
bloody and wearing the rags he was crucified in
and said
"suffer not a vagrant" ...

Frogger
The white work van
passed so close
its wind picked
my hair from my shoulders
my wild eyes
sought you out
on the other side
of 10 rush-hour lanes
of interstate highway
my palms were slimy
from sweat washing
off my hand cream
and my stomach
creaked
I gasped,
but I didn’t step back
when the next car
blared its horn
loud enough to
echo in my ears
instead I stepped
forward
...
