Space For All
What is oft forgot
Is that we are all
Of the same race
Living
In the same place
A small residence
Somewhere in space

demo crew on standby
grandpa was a master builder
building with an eye for expansion
for growth & adaptation
to support many generations
none of those short-sighted greed-blinded mansions
20 rooms for one dude
he was a man for every season
& I paid attention
as current events expose a rotten foundation
I'm reminded of his philosophy
when the integrity of a structure
is no longer sound
tear it down
don't leave it standing
causing further dangers
pay attention to the issues
& don't repeat them
construct it...

Rat poison
Learn what makes me look down
Watch how my smile dies
Who are these men with alien eyes
Snaps like a crocodile I don't know their triggers
Hate me as you see in me three of hers
Facade to your friends, talk about girls like restaurants
Familiar guts, poison on your meat, rest you rats
I see for who you are, I feel the hell's heat
Grin to some, but for me to show your teeth
Watch how my smile dies
Who are these men with alien eyes
Snaps like a crocodile I don't know their triggers
Hate me as you see in me three of hers
Facade to your friends, talk about girls like restaurants
Familiar guts, poison on your meat, rest you rats
I see for who you are, I feel the hell's heat
Grin to some, but for me to show your teeth

Apple basket
Blame me when it's not up to me
No power, I'm just as helpless as all we
I never wished the world, just home and family
They say guilt doesn't help them, my second gravity
I deserve a castle as little as they do casket
I can't fix things, I only exist
Spent my last as my next wish
I'm sorry my life brings you grief, I thank the universe and know life's brief
I'm not the problems nor the solutions face
Give me mercy for what I got or it matters all the same
No power, I'm just as helpless as all we
I never wished the world, just home and family
They say guilt doesn't help them, my second gravity
I deserve a castle as little as they do casket
I can't fix things, I only exist
Spent my last as my next wish
I'm sorry my life brings you grief, I thank the universe and know life's brief
I'm not the problems nor the solutions face
Give me mercy for what I got or it matters all the same

deaf, dumb & blind...
are we now to become
no more than yesterday's phantasms?
specters drifting across a barren landscape
too foolish to pay any heed to the errors of our fathers
or the fallout from every previous foul deed
those men who valiantly fought or tragically fell
directed by a madman's selfish hand
where they were gathered
& ruthlessly enslaved
countless numbers completely erased
living now only the nightmares of a few surviving souls
mourning their unforgotten existence
where memories lie buried in unmarked mass graves
or...

this feminine rage
My anger scares you
it's not pretty or delicate
doesn't fit within the fantasy
you've built around me
though I've always been fire
I remind you of your psycho mother
who tried to fell your father with an axe
and blow up his car
after he'd moved on
from their crazy toxic relationship
It doesn't matter that I'm not psychotic
that I've never raised a hand to you
or an axe
or tried to blow up your car
The pitch of my rage rings alarm bells
in your head

Real Talk
My people perish for lack of knowledge of self
and our true history is not on their library's shelf
Our modern music misleads our youth
with prevented versions of the truth
So they turn to booze, weed, coke and dope
instead of finding betters ways to cope
Or they join gangs which are our resident evil
and become pawns in our spiritual upheaval
Princes and Principalities are the real puppet masters
and the architects of all man made disasters
I know how difficult it is to "walk the walk"
and that all...

The Labels
the world needs
to change & take
off its blindfolds
there's still too
much sexism
racism homo
& transphobia
open your eye
black and white
red and yellow
are just colors
intersex queer
non binary male
and female are
fucking labels
lesbian straight
sapiosexual gay
& heteroflexible
are orientations
what does it say?
we're human souls
labels are for clothes
to change & take
off its blindfolds
there's still too
much sexism
racism homo
& transphobia
open your eye
black and white
red and yellow
are just colors
intersex queer
non binary male
and female are
fucking labels
lesbian straight
sapiosexual gay
& heteroflexible

ARISE MY SISTERS
ARISE MY SISTERS
From Eve to Sarah
from Esther to Mary
from servant to princess
daughter and wife
the time has come
to make much of your beauty
drink deep from your wisdom
give voice to your song
build a pulpit for your message
and let the true resurrection come
My father is angry
you dare lay hands
on his daughters
abuse them for your pleasures
jail them for your pride
make much of your rules
that litter the nations with lies
The day has come
for a new a sword to be burnished

Invisible Gypsy
Our silence is our safety
That's what my Dad would say
Don't tell them you're gypsy
That's how you end up dead
I'm Romani
I say it to an empty room
Swallowing my tears harshly
Old wounds reopened with precision
Invisible... That's all we are... Huh
That's what my Dad would say
Don't tell them you're gypsy
That's how you end up dead
I'm Romani
I say it to an empty room
Swallowing my tears harshly
Old wounds reopened with precision
Invisible... That's all we are... Huh
