Perverts, Politicians and Pyromaniacs
Psychopaths and perverts
Linger in the shadows
Of the night stopping only
Long enough to up the ante
In the war against malcontents
And fading politicians who are
Serving up deep-fried linoleum
To the public
When they're not selling
Propane to the pyros
Spurred on by
The cosmic karma backlash
Where the weak are
being spoonfed their
Daily dose of scorn
Somewhere, in the shadows
The perverts easily commiserate
Beating on their pale chests
Shouting "The beasts,
They will not die."

I exist, alone.
I see clear, this "matrix" for what it is; only in the physical sense am I bound by it; I die every time I close my eyes, waking back up into this life that isn't claimed by me-it is not mine;
I see another human being-i lean moreso towards so inclined to utter words outside the lines-instead I know to shut myself inside a box of many designed;
I do not hate myself-I hate my built in archetype-I hate this portal's hold on lives-especially when one seeks to get away from programmed lies; and mental torment over time;
...

Poets, The Innocent Liars
sometimes we have to fake to live
for a nice feedback to receive
thus, our hearts are quite and calm
and yet, we express too much pain
we are liars, the deceiftul writers
wicked crafters, and manipulators
we seek sympathy and others attention
even against our own self-abnegation
but, sincerely we are very bad actors
making color movies from old cliches
outdated scripts and Hitchcock scenarios
to look pitiful in masked low-budget thrillers
the innocent words to outwardly deliver
alas ! die so fast...

Drifter
Suitable log up on my shoulders, time for a run.
Up this mountain cool morning breeze is on.
Sixteen kilometers legs burn.
Respect and pain something you earn.
Throw the log from my shoulders time to lift
Train battery on a cable, the pain a gift.
Hundred twenty kilo rocks pick up throw.
Cold crisp air good for the soul.
Strap to my suv drag across the field.
Stretch again release the stress I build.
Seventy kilo rocks each hand punch
Nintey kilo rock do a few crunch.
Throw a rope in a tree...

SCARED VETS
Sign of the cross everytime am close to cross between foes and my woes,
Standing In the middle of this war no side is winning I want it no more,
The cons outweigh the pros I feel conned everytime i bury a bro,
I worry our egos wont let us see this flaws,
No matter who wins they'll still embrace a loss,
Tears for each soldier a rose for each loss,
It went not how it was supposed wish I knew the cost,
My brother's ghost haunting my dreams why the war is been lost,
My confidence feel forced Wish I...

HEAVY HEARTED
Two wrongs don't make a right am among survivors whose future wasn't bright,
It might be because we lost sight of what's right,
We passed through dark times the worst fight was searching for the light,
The nights chilly praying to my creator to help me hang tight,
But despite the quite prayers to extradite my karma I still shock in fright,
The night wasn't good but the mood was polite,
They judged the cover of my book with one look and threw spite,
It took a while for my potential to ignite,
Can't...

Animus or Animal
-
With feral intensity pursuing prey
a killers' instincts seen in eyes
I chased you
hunting you down
never possessing enough
to sate this animal lust
taming me with your own wild passion
becoming my all
my purpose and being
forever curled by your feet
never understanding until too late
that your animus so unfulfilled ...

Grin and Bear It
A family of four having a picnic is surprised,
When a hungry bear enters the camp site looking for food,
Approaching them so nonchalantly and pretty calm,
Right up to the table, impolitely and a bit rude.
The father then begins to grin nervously thinking,
“If I smile the bear will see I’m friendly and go away”
The bear thinks “showing teeth is a sign of aggression,
Now I’ll have to eat them all just like a buffet.”

(7) Trapped Within 11.24.23 @ 9:00pm
Life behind xanax bars;
Secrets buried in my backyard.
The boys and I;
Remain ready for tequila sunrise.
Fear not repentance.
Cannabis smoke is relentless.
Chopping up the guilt from my past.
Snorting it by the eighth & having a blast.
Alprazolam as a chaser;
Hospital departure with a pacemaker.
The truth is I’m a lost soul.
I negotiated my serenity for dope.
Slowly disintegrating till cremation.
Mouth foaming from intoxication.
From Los Angeles county to probation.
I’m always getting high, fuck...
Secrets buried in my backyard.
The boys and I;
Remain ready for tequila sunrise.
Fear not repentance.
Cannabis smoke is relentless.
Chopping up the guilt from my past.
Snorting it by the eighth & having a blast.
Alprazolam as a chaser;
Hospital departure with a pacemaker.
The truth is I’m a lost soul.
I negotiated my serenity for dope.
Slowly disintegrating till cremation.
Mouth foaming from intoxication.
From Los Angeles county to probation.

Decisions & Deceptions
Equations of false perceptions
That equate to misconceptions
Cause miscommunications
That transition into weapons
The best protection is to question
Not formulations of calculations
Whose assumptions lead to divisions
Valuations of depreciation; in relations
This is the summation and conclusion
Of a conversation with introspection
Will it take separations via subtractions
In order for my peace to reach fruition
Life's full of tough decisions & deceptions
That equate to misconceptions
Cause miscommunications
That transition into weapons
The best protection is to question
Not formulations of calculations
Whose assumptions lead to divisions
Valuations of depreciation; in relations
This is the summation and conclusion
Of a conversation with introspection
Will it take separations via subtractions
In order for my peace to reach fruition
Life's full of tough decisions & deceptions

The quiet one .
It’s not in the words she says . It’s everything she doesn’t say. Her mind says yes tell it all but her heart reminds her to take the alternative route the one less traveled . Full of superfluous nouns and phrases but not one adjective and her pronouns are known as her the quiet one . It’s her in body but not in spirit. She hides in brief conversation and she knows all about the weather . She checks everyday on her safe subject matter but you will never really know her but you will see her in her bright pink rain Mac even on a sunny day . She’s already ten steps ahead while others are left...

They Don't See Me
If I were an entity known as Brevity
Could you then understand me?
So many wilfully choose not to see
O' say can you see ME as I truly be?
Could you then understand me?
So many wilfully choose not to see
O' say can you see ME as I truly be?
