Tear in Heaven
Something about dropping a tear into heaven
Galaxy away see a small hole
Floating and spinning
On the horizon
Stand like skywalker
Smaller than a pebble
Drops down from above
Must be from heaven
Set my eye see a smile in the crowd
Feet set in position
Fight through the starts
Know destiny in you
Drops of heaven drizzling on me
Shots of infamy or destiny
Who decides is me and my god
Not a case of doing right by Cure
Hypnotized by baptism
Of false satans and gods ...
Galaxy away see a small hole
Floating and spinning
On the horizon
Stand like skywalker
Smaller than a pebble
Drops down from above
Must be from heaven
Set my eye see a smile in the crowd
Feet set in position
Fight through the starts
Know destiny in you
Drops of heaven drizzling on me
Shots of infamy or destiny
Who decides is me and my god
Not a case of doing right by Cure
Hypnotized by baptism
Of false satans and gods ...

Advertising Space
Corporate lined suits
Have us by the balls
Penetrating moves, from
Leather plush walls
Here they are, the gullible
Planting little seeds
Minion fed commercials
Fill our daily needs?
The next big thing?
Companies invest in billions
We follow like sheep
In our flock BUY the millions
'JINGLE CRAZY SLOGANS
CAST THEIR WICKED SPELL
DON'T FORGET YOU'RE WORTH IT
ANTI-AGING L'ORÉAL
FINGER LICKIN' GOOD
YOU'LL FIND AT K.F.C
SKITTLE, TASTE THE RAINBOW
BROTHER CAN'T YOU SEE'

APPRAISAL OF JOY
Life becomes brighter
Beyond the storm of reason
The toil of seasons
Success, a book without closure
No eyes to read upon the words
A prison of dull days
Reaped fruit, empty room
Eyes hang like a chandelier
Breath robotic, never attuned
A striving bloom, sheared coccoon
Effort from apathy
No answers
Perpetual stream of empty moments
Such yearn for struggle
When satisfaction is gained
Paradox of the open soul
The hunger never slows
Our pockets ever expand
To...

Nottingham
The martinet conservative
will claim they know about the state
whereto the rich the poor must give
to guarantee a happy fate.
The rich, they say, know money best,
and that is why they need your tax
for keeping merry men oppressed
and living in rude tents and shacks.
But Robin Hood had understood,
long before any Marxist did,
that tax was for the public good
and not just for some spoiled kid.
So go and check your dusty books
to get your money story straight
from Marx and Robin instead of crooks... ...

Machine don’t feel(especially.001 percent)
Machine don’t feel(especially .001 percent)
Fuck the machine
I’m real not Artificial
Algorithm set the money
Dweebs with not enough honey
The Zusk of Muckerberg
Trolls of the .001 percent
CEOs of social media
Now it’s where some read the news and
Thought Orange and Mueller with Q
Would execute
Uphold Christian values
P T Orange said there’s a sucker born
And stacks roll in on a stolen lie
Of a free and fair election
All the while Zusk of Muckerberg
Count stacks and sows seeds of anger
Get angry...

A Town Called...
A Town called Desperation
Suburban deprivation
That look of resignation
This Town called Desperation
APR and interest fees
Rent arrears, life's big squeeze
Heat or eat, Friday comes
Sink or swim, do the sums
Robbing Peter, paying Paul
The Man in Black, takes it all
Six foot tall, above the law?
Rat-a-tat-tat, door to door
Ain't no game of hide and seek
Never ending, prey on weak
On the drip, never never
Sinking teeth, grind together
A Town...

trying to find the corner in a circular room
I threw a packet of dirty
bread rolls at the wall tonight
dirty because my child stole them
and emptied them on the floor
to play with like wheaty squishies
We don't have much food
and I reached the end of my patience
with the kind of unhinged scream
that should be reserved for series issues
In the grand scheme of things
this is nothing
but in the day to day struggles
this was the culmination of everything
I can't control
And the worst part is
that vocal retching didn't help
it...

My Final Words...To You
To you my love,
By the time you read this letter, I will be passed on
Please don't cry.
I know how much you loved me & I loved you.
The pressure from my wife and "The Boss" was getting the best of me.
I know she was going to find out everything about me and all of my secrets.
I owed "The Boss" over $30,000.00
He was out to kill me.
It was either me serving prison time, or being beat and murdered by him or me committing suicide.
Obviously I went with the latter.
No one can or will trace me to you.
No one knew...

Wake Up World!
Your head is being cemented in my sand
Pay attention, I'm not gonna repeat myself
The entire world is made of connections
So many imposters, trying to feed and then eat you
How much longer until our society falls?
A steady decline
We're incompetent as human beings
Many have tried & failed at playing god
The one's that succeed in playing god are the 1%
The right people get the only pass
How much money & pull do you have to make a change?
So many solutions and possible answers
Sadly they are thrown away, because there placed in...

If Only Sheep Need A Leader, Then Why Are You Such A Follower?
Hello sheep of planet earth
I'm here to tell you something about most of you
You're all being duped as you live your pathetic, mundane lives
The ruling class are watching and following every single move you make
Don't forget, get the latest smart device for yourself or for your home
You deserve it
Can you picture life without all of these awesome, high-tech devices
No!?
I figured you'd answer with no
You're all so goddamn lame and fake
Everyone is so comfortable and lethargic
That's the key to their control
You all rather watch some...
