Sailing or Sinking?
Clearing out my conscious seems impossible tonight
so I feign diversion for relief
All these feelings and theories of mine
seem worthless in the grand scheme
Wondering if I belong because I view this world in different hues
and most will remain blind as I struggle to find any use
Ignorance holds no candle to an enlightened soul
but still we drug ourselves and become dumbed down
Starlight eyes and an elusive mind
Hoping something might numb my brain
and remove this double-edged curse from me
Six sides of a metaphor...

Master(s)piece
Whomever chooses to paint me as a villain
I'll give a paint brush & canvas then let 'em begin
I don't spend an abundance of time trying to change minds
Not gonna be a slave and placed in perception's binds
I find that I'm often misunderstood by some
Miscalculation & disinformation in their sum
Far from a bum and too worldly for sainthood
Refusing to be a merry man of any Robin Hood
Got a good heart but won't depart from my manhood
Trying to stay cool, calm, & collected doesn't feel good
It's understood despite...

No Go
Back on a plane from Spain 🇪🇦
From sunshine, pull into the rain ☔
Living tha UK dream, Buenos Dias
Do tha walk of shame...🚶🏽
Letting tha beer flow, benefit street on tha jam&roll 💸
I gotta get that dough, set up shop, and start that grow 🪴
I kept my nose clean for long enough🫧
Stay off tha street where it gets rough 👊🏽
But them boys called my bluff 🤫
Start fights, blue lights, n get me cuffed 🚨
I stayed in and I wrote my stories📚

while I was out
you were out,
i wasn't in.
an ill wind blowing
makes me
sick
haut cuisine and
revenge, dishes
both best
served
cold
snakes have no
arms
but are armed
with fangs
matches burn
out
creativity burns
out
love burns
out
and we are left with the
cold boney arms of
memory to hold us
on a freezing
winter's
night
i wasn't in.

Lose The Zero, Get With The Hero
Woody saw Linda sitting alone
at a bar, walked up to her and
said "It's about time you gave
up on that zero to
be with the hero."
But that was just
before her
man came
back.
And when he saw how big that guy was,
Woody had let out a smile, looked
at his watch and said "Would you
look at that? It's time for
me to go home now!"
and ran out of
there faster
than Buck
Wild.

Conspiracy
Soulless wisdom; sheltered lust
Withered envy; credence dust
Magnificent infamy; painless denial
Misshapen words, my crux to defile
Shifting one’s purpose to revel in glory
Loveless desire will not be my story
Passionate citizens turn to the light
Truth be my tempest fledging the night
The wicked ones sageness, while effective on most
Undervalued the enlightened holding their post
The depth of the rabbits hole boggles the mind
All these strands of deceit for me to unwind
It’s tangled
It’s tousled
It's ripped...
Withered envy; credence dust

Undervalued the enlightened holding their post
The depth of the rabbits hole boggles the mind
All these strands of deceit for me to unwind
It’s tangled
It’s tousled
It's ripped...

Wounds of a Clown
What will my life be if I look back on when?
On Christmas some people dress like Santa,
Some people dress like elves or other things.
They do it to entertain their happy children,
My mother used to call me her little Anna...
To share the joy that the holidays can bring.
When I went out east, I dressed like a clown,
To entertain a girl who is really just a child.
I am friends with her mother, I like that town,
And my personality is silly and mostly wild.
It was a fun time, they made me feel welcome,
The holidays when by for me way too...

paper plane
is she paper?
is she quick to tear?
an easy rip
a skinny slip of a
deranged
dissociative
still little
girl
who can argue?
she can’t even smile, when they do
the mirror says no.
she listens.
though she knows
she’s allowed to scream
something keeps this paper
from telling the things
she dare not show.
and lord knows, she could fly
if only she chose to fold
instead of cry.

(Raw and unpolished)
Crashing planes
Moving traines
Switching lanes
I don't want none of it
Only still, standing
Looking up to the sky
Or down to the floor
I may not know what I'm doing here on this
Intersection
Or what this means
Vehicules, objects rushing next to me
Still, like a tree
I hope nothing hits me,
Please just make it quick
The tormented mine of Me
Surviving or living
None of it is what I want
Leave
Leave me be
In the crossroads of indecisions
Close ...

Cross-purposes
I was pleased
when Reverend Spooner called me a 'shining wit!'
Now I'm peeved.

Multifactorial It Is (Not All Is About Politicians)
Whine and moan, complain about politicians
the call of the day
might I politely suggest
something more at play
Yes they should be held accountable
but it is about time that we see
that they don't operate in insolation
the problem includes you and me
There are enough people who don't even vote
to tip the power anyway they seem fit
like a pitcher and catcher who don't comprehend
the baseballs are in their mitts
Officeholders are indeed components of society
they run off of money and get people to vote ...

It's indeed unfair
of me to be receiving
coal this holiday!
