Disdain for you my sweet
Wretched but beautiful
My eyes see you but I look away
Throw yourself into a den of lions
I'll bring the popcorn and goobers
Will they eat you or spit you out
Your flesh is bitter and diseased
To much negativity and malignancy
How can one walk around with such a tainted soul?
Bless yourself in my river of urine
That's what I think of you anyway
Take it, accept it
That's all your worth
Go home and drown yourself in your bottomless, endless self pity
Have a great weekend
My eyes see you but I look away
Throw yourself into a den of lions
I'll bring the popcorn and goobers
Will they eat you or spit you out
Your flesh is bitter and diseased
To much negativity and malignancy
How can one walk around with such a tainted soul?
Bless yourself in my river of urine
That's what I think of you anyway
Take it, accept it
That's all your worth
Go home and drown yourself in your bottomless, endless self pity
Have a great weekend

Why (Oh, Why)
I give you all my love
But you still aren't satisfied
It doesn't seem to matter
That I've really tried
To keep things running smooth
So why, oh why do you want
To hurt me like you do
I wash your clothes and
Fix nice meals for you
I do everything thing
You want me to do
Still you act like I'm ignoring you
So why, oh why do you want
To do me like you do
You can have your freedom
And I'll have mine too
I never wanted anything from you
That wasn't given freely
I gave my heart to you
So why,...
But you still aren't satisfied
It doesn't seem to matter
That I've really tried
To keep things running smooth
So why, oh why do you want
To hurt me like you do
I wash your clothes and
Fix nice meals for you
I do everything thing
You want me to do
Still you act like I'm ignoring you
So why, oh why do you want
To do me like you do
You can have your freedom
And I'll have mine too
I never wanted anything from you
That wasn't given freely
I gave my heart to you
So why,...

shame
the time is nigh
I enter into an understanding
I am more light than darkness
beings of guile watch me intently
unfurl the truth watch hate spin
little omissions burn on the pyre of regret
come hither and lay witness to the revealing
unveiling the dark I strike the giant
evil speaks against itself
with a tongue that slithers it spits acid
I stand square and center
time will tell all cards revealed
the tarot says jealousy is at the heart of things
turn on the eternal wheel
liar, liar pants on fire ...

Sequestered Heart
I have desires
Not unlike yours
Fever
Temptation
Outlaw
Fringe
Taking you prisoner
Sequestered heart
Bound to the bed post
To be used
You'll never be free
Prayers answered
Not unlike yours
Fever
Temptation
Outlaw
Fringe
Taking you prisoner
Sequestered heart
Bound to the bed post
To be used
You'll never be free
Prayers answered

15 of 30
she tells them she's not looking to get involved
that they should just keep it moving
they insist they aren't either
...they just want to be friends
& isn't it just conceit on her part...to presume
but she's so often been driven down this well-traveled road
...knows where it probably leads
...& how it will likely end
her constant response to this accusation
to a sense of over-inflated ego
...is always the same
it might be...I am too full of myself...
...if it hadn't so frequently proven...

one voice
do not try denying
every little struggle,
the cries and pain
from generations,
children weeping
in lands so selfish,
what destruction will play
if we forget
that it only takes
one voice
that could begin
to make a difference.

Hypocritical Abyss
She always argues that she’s right
Even if she’s wrong she’ll never agree
She’ll bicker even if it takes all night
Her view is the only that matters
And the only one she sees
She’ll scream to get her point across
Louder and louder until she’s heard
It just might explain the hearing loss
Unable to hear or understand
Someone else's word
She lacks a sense of true compassion
The apathy makes her turns a blind eye
Living life in a such a closed off fashion
And anything outside the circle
Will be seen as a lie
...

Ill take the blame
Ready to do the time
For a crime that isn't mine
Ill be fine
Ive spent many years confined
In a prison of my design
In my mind
The bleakest place youll find
The warden is most unkind
The verdict signed
Play out my failures then rewind
Want me to plead innocent I decline
Suffering is divine
Savor it like fine wine
To this sentence I resign
Pearls before swine
Wanna save me stop trying
You don't care so stop lying
No more crying
You're free as a bird so start flying
Your narrative...

Finally Alone
Fallen seeds planted upon a hill
Perfectly aligned for the ultimate thrill
Marching to a silent cadence is now the drill
My warmth is frozen, my life was to kill
Called upon to serve, dedicate, and give
Accept death, when all I wanted was to live
But you wouldn't have it and the responsibility was mine
Duty, honor, country, was pounded into my mind
"Remember our special interest that's abroad
Our truly elite that think they're gods
It's for you and yours to die to protect
To kiss our feet out of respect"

Patient Zero
As if by a vampiric bite
fresh rage transfers from brain to brain
in right cerebra fight or flight
as undead psychic virus pain;
bloodborne by iron pathogen
the right cerebra thinks it's right
to act just like an ape again
when rage will one more rage invite
like Dracula into the home
of probity, peace, and its joy...
to spread, like rabies in a foam,
or Trojan horse Greek troops deploy
when plunder is the main conceit
for rapacity and its deceit.
