The True Two Party System
I've been to Greece
England
France
Even Iran
With my friend back in ten
I remember thinking
What the fucks up with American men
Ive had more problems when
I go out
It's almost a fight
Ive calmed with years
But face the same spite
You would think I feel unsafe cause of the men
No
Most
It's the hag faced, youngling, or bitter women
They hit home
Almost every time I'm out
Last time at five guys
An old lady staring with hate as she stuffed mouth
But it's always like...

Minority Report
George Santayana in 1905 said, “Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it.” Hahaha strange isn’t it? In 1948 Winston Churchill said, “Those that fail to learn from history are doomed to repeat it.” This has been stated in a multitude of ways and as it is so stated each version is absolute truth.
There was a survey conducted here in the US just a few years ago and many people may remember it. Whether you’re well read, like to keep up with the news, or you just stumbled upon it. This survey that was conducted focused on one question testing the temperature of a...

the life and the living
you, drunk on the honey,
i, sobered by the sting;
you drink at the fountain,
i, sodden by the fling
of flotsam and jetsam
you hurdle at my face
to render the programme
your fortune—my disgrace.
the milk curds, you guzzle,
while i must count the horns;
you sicken on rose blooms,
while i must bleed on thorns.
...

the Hand that makes the lily bloom
It is not the man who has little, but he who desires more,
that is poor."—Lucius Annaeus Seneca
behold the lily in the swamp,
how pure and bright she blooms!
unfettered by stark stench and muck,
great stature she assumes.
her litheness every eye consumes,
queens emulate her pluck;
her elegance stirs brides and grooms
to light their wedding lamp.
behold the poor man in his dirt, ...
that is poor."—Lucius Annaeus Seneca

Justice
Blacks get more time than whites.
The police love to read our rights.
The justice system is so damn dirty.
Damn, they don't show any mercy.
They're supposed to serve and protect.
But yet they don't give us any respect.
Because it's the color of my skin.
Like being black is an awful sin.
They say we gotta vote for change.
These laws gotta be rearranged.
Living in this world we're not equal.
We live in a world full of evil.
I'm not doing this for likes and views.
Blacks being killed is always in the news.

Self Provided Philosophical Fellatio
Am I normal?
Am I regular?
Am I different?
Am I special?
How do I fit in?
Where do I fit in?
Who are my people?
Where is my home?
These are all questions that in this modern age of a more liberal society all young adults are almost required to ask themselves. Everywhere, people always want to know where they fit in and how they are special. But the problem with this progression fueled thought process where we give people more and more reins and labels to control themselves and live their own lives, as they...

Crowd Control
Why would you need to call in the military
Threats of lethal force from a leader that's scary
Smoke grenades going off, followed by a national guard force
Family pitted against family ignorantly protesting the source
This motherfucker was foreseen a revelation ago
He would ride the bitch to power and then pimp hate like a hoe
Buying up all of the bullets, gloating, ready to give the command
But how are they going to enter the battlefield and kill their brother like any other man
There are a lot of mothers and daughters that are fighting...

Allowed
Can you see what we have allowed
Looking out of your bedroom window and seeing the fire rain down
There are nuclear missiles posing as storm clouds
Nothing can be done, we've given up our voice's sound
At one time a proud and voiced people
Ranked among the top as freedoms keepers
But at some point our spines dissolved into a gel
Not to worry we also gave away our brains as well
The spines dissolving gives us an excuse for doing nothing
Pretending that we thought our leaders were only just bluffing
Idly watching each and every...

Observing Things
Did humans through Caine and Abel introduce ourselves to death
Will we begin burning skeletons when there's no rain forest left
We're cutting down bodies at the same rate as trees
Wars leaving us on the battlefields like dead fucking leaves
Someone dreamt to build industry all along waterways, a poisonous dream
This dream was a nightmare declaring death to everything down stream
Logging again adding to the destruction, poisoning rivers and creeks
The eroding land left behind is still reaching it's peak
Topsoil washing away carrying with it...

Early Edition
Am I, my own worst enemy
Because I'm believing what the news is telling me
Once an entity within itself, protected by the constitution
Then shitted on the public at large and then joined the institution
Shit getting pimped by every politician with or seeking an office
Each telling the same fucking lie and hoping that you don't notice
They say, "climate change is just bullshit about as real as planet X
If we listen to the scientist on this, who knows what's next"
They have collectively joined forces, although they deny it to the...

Fat Cats
Fat cats, your pockets shouldn't be bulging like that
Clear your minds by giving it all back
Fat cat, how much do you need before it stops making sense
Being broke and needy are no longer your defense
To see the world I climbed atop a garbage heap
There were so many below me screaming for just a peep
From here upon my throne made of trash
I could see the line where our two worlds clashed
The have-nots were rebelling, the illusion was fading fast
The fat cats had depended on an illusion that simply couldn't last
To had...

Neutrality
Isn't it funny that man searches for a better more peaceful place to live
When it's man that wars and takes abusingly all that this planet gives
Isn't it funny how we drain this planet and continue to laugh
How we take all for ourselves after promising each other half
Given a gift that only should comes in second to one
The love that we should share for each other is where it all begun
To take nothing and explode it into an infinite number of pieces
With life continuing to be formed from the energy it releases
Charged particles bonded...
