CV"s
Curriculum vita in a perfect suit for the over emphasized job,
overwritten obituaries by all means towards the career to the top.
Artificial titles painting in phrase the landscape of the desire,
everybody loves a piece of paper with their name to admire.
Experts and highly trained specialized managers filling the dots,
functional mediocrity in responsible hierarchy for perfect slots.
Credited assurance in advance for long time chain reaction,
procedures towards the hatching office block satisfaction.
Glorious evolution in colored spread sheets...
overwritten obituaries by all means towards the career to the top.
Artificial titles painting in phrase the landscape of the desire,

The Mirror
A silent rap at the window,
He peers outside to see,
A beast standing in the snow…
What dark magic could this be?
He wipes away the frost that paints the window pane,
To get a better look at Satan’s bastard spawn
Who’s members were bound with an iron chain.
What a malevolent phenomenon.
The eyes of the beast were tinted red,
Stained with the blood of his foes
That he had mercilessly shed.
What a vicious master this creature follows.
Attached to his arms were the hands of a fiend,
Rough and jagged...
He peers outside to see,
A beast standing in the snow…
What dark magic could this be?
He wipes away the frost that paints the window pane,
To get a better look at Satan’s bastard spawn
Who’s members were bound with an iron chain.
What a malevolent phenomenon.
The eyes of the beast were tinted red,
Stained with the blood of his foes
That he had mercilessly shed.
What a vicious master this creature follows.
Attached to his arms were the hands of a fiend,
Rough and jagged...

Shame
When I stripped myself bare
of this vanity I hate
I was naked in my
insecurity
My audacity
masks my powerlessness
sometimes my pride
and discouragement
swing so fast
I cannot see
I cannot see myself
So, I use everyone
as my mirror
when I search for myself
I'm not there
like an apparition
I am a mirage
a fleeting rainbow
mere appearance
I look in the mirror
and all I see
is no thing
of this vanity I hate
I was naked in my
insecurity
My audacity
masks my powerlessness
sometimes my pride
and discouragement
swing so fast
I cannot see
I cannot see myself
So, I use everyone
as my mirror
when I search for myself
I'm not there
like an apparition
I am a mirage
a fleeting rainbow
mere appearance
I look in the mirror
and all I see
is no thing

Buckled Bills Boasting
daedal delight dangling
saucy skirmish smoldering
dainty dark drooling
nauseating punctured puking
of salient smirk
la-de-da limbs lurched
buckled bills boasting
lanky lust lustrating
felon feast fondling
eyes etched'n fear
hoisted hankerings' shear
taunted thrill tears
punctured parley pulses
wielded wild whooshing.

Vanity
may you see the truth
in the distorted mirror
that hangs before you
in the distorted mirror
that hangs before you

This Woman
I’ve hated this woman. I’ve not loved her at full capacity. I’ve fed her lies & told her she wasn’t good enough and have allowed others to tell her she wasn't good enough. I’ve allowed her to be broken. I've allowed others to treat her disrespectfully.
I’ve allowed her to run through brick walls & battle for others who won’t even stand for her. I couldn’t stop individuals from abandoning her, yet I’ve seen her get up and stand to be a light to the world & love others despite all that. I have stood paralyzed by fear while she fought battles in her mind, heart and soul.

A landfill of lies
Please copy and paste and listen while reading and as always thanks for looking https://youtube.com/watch?v=O9_-VpIVGnc
Apparently the interview between us
4 years ago was all a sham riddled with lies.
My choices, they do define who I have become,
who I will become...
I wanna be a good person
make good decisions
an enjoy love unconditionally
The white picket fence is broken
and the damage Is everywhere
soaked into every fiber
of what...

Psycho Equational
You Act Invitational Then Turn To Confrontational
You Are So Changeable Ever So Multi Dimensional
Unbreakable Unobtainable Yet Still Unexplainable
Always So Empty Yet Your Cup Is Ever Full Filled
Unavailable Untrainable Unmistakable Sensational
You Claim To Be Favorable Yet That Is Debatable
Occasional Persuadable Unattainable Inescapable
Mutation Null Computational Relational Configurational

Since I Am , SELF Doxology
With Time I Add Chronology ,
What Is This Psi College Me
This Human Animal Zoology
All I Feel As Real My Equation
Causation Station Mentation
The Name Of Fame Elation
Yet You Can Bet interrelation

No Deception Mine Own Reception
I Am A Particle Yet You Bet I Am A Wave
I Am What I Let Go And I Am What I Save
I Am Nothing And More I Am Everything
Motion Commotion Still In Silence Sings
A Dream In Between What It Is I Mean
Reality Fatality More Than First Seems
Some Say A God In Heaven Does Trod
I Say I Am God And Smile With A Nod !
I Am What I Let Go And I Am What I Save
I Am Nothing And More I Am Everything
Motion Commotion Still In Silence Sings
A Dream In Between What It Is I Mean
Reality Fatality More Than First Seems
Some Say A God In Heaven Does Trod
I Say I Am God And Smile With A Nod !

Mystic Statistic
Wrapped So Tight In The Night Like A Kinky Spring
Got Those Notions Of Emotion On The Downswing
Halo Over A Body Casket Blow A Gasket Just An O Ring
Holding Onto Life With A Linguistic String Of Everything
And I Got Words Never Heard Like I Speak Them Twisted
Interred Buried Burned Deep Into My Soul So Realistic
Simplistic Yet Convicted Some Would Say Wicked Scripted
Phrases And Phases Some Restricted Yet Still Committed
Got Those Notions Of Emotion On The Downswing
Halo Over A Body Casket Blow A Gasket Just An O Ring
Holding Onto Life With A Linguistic String Of Everything
And I Got Words Never Heard Like I Speak Them Twisted
