Crash
Calloused hands built the world we know
It takes manpower to maintenance luxury
Who cleans shit and shovels all the snow
Spending lifetimes knee deep in drudgery
Privilege in no means suggests one is wise
Unqualified humans are selected next to rise
Strong backs provided all the heavy lifting
Made to carry stones on splintered bones
Who’s on the ground as the tide is shifting
Fighting for country in multiple time zones
Heartless leaders aren’t capable of empathy
Constantly playing the victim for the sympathy
...

Unholy Seed
They're doing tricks on the blind
And busy bee got control
The other brick in the wall
Another day on the job
And that's the way things work
Digging, shoving, to fuel the machinery
Watch the pistons pump
That's the drive that keeps the heart alive
And all that you desire
Making you the perfect liar
And someone's casting pearls before the swine
On the road to hell
Illuminati
N.W.O. in control
While fingers worked to the bone
Illuminati, unholy seed
In 1776 the birth of greed
...

Germany
I take my sword and with a arc swing wide
I will hit my target bow out you know not what I am
I am a German Warrioress of old I will take you down proudly
I am no toy
I will stand true you will not take me down
I have proven my worth in the heavens
I have broke hells bank account
it has nothing on me now
I am a white woman
I live in an era where we are shamed for our culture
only the black race has rights
it disgusts me
I have love for all races
creeds and classes
I will not forget history
neither will I...

Addicted to Mayhem
Every time I see unfair rule and law
I want to express myself on city walls
Be a ghost, a host addicted to mayhem
But with galls bigger than mother fucKing Kong’s balls
I wouldn't give a damn and just bash and slam
Every verse be an explosion meant to vent
Rallying the masses to give them a voice
A middle finger in the air saying “fuck the government”
And once the crowds are compiled and riled
I’d light the fuse by taking to social media
Revealing every politician’s dirty little secret
People would get so pissed off it’d feel...

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...

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 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

A Tsunami for Greta Thunberg
A damp cave shudders
agony of postmodernity.
The ocean must stir
the ecstasy of nomadic bananas?
The wind weighs oysters.
However!
The sunset contrasts
chilled volcanoes.
Despair!
One man stands in the middle
of a brood of needles.
Yes, from garbage needles!

Executive Fever
Marked safe from tears when shitty bosses die
I think of the long stingy road to this,
where estimation will not even try
to have no obligation go amiss
in a republic of the free and brave;
free, that is, to accumulate more debt,
as less and less we can keep from the grave,
unless lotteries are a winning bet.
Yet in this mess they say the boss is right
and that the private jet and private yacht
are not somehow an ecologic blight
where at least the Orcas have not been bought
and know damn well that they can't trust a boat ...

Hazel Hated Fat Women
My grandmother wore high heels well into her seventies. Her size six outfits were impeccable, complimented by rings with multi-carat stones. The glint of diamonds and emeralds prompted dim-witted queries from strangers: "Is that real?"
With a wave of her manicured hand, platinum polish flawless against olive skin, she'd dismiss the commoner. "Yes dear, of course." Her tone was dry ice.
A doting and fun grandmother, she was cautiously benevolent to outsiders.
There was one subset of humanity, however, to which she was downright cruel: fat women. Obese...
