Santa Claus Did It
a Christmas detective story
Lord Sixtus Runcorn had been murdered with an axe, by Santa Claus. Lady Runcorn had seen it through the window of the library while she was walking the primrose path about the house and promptly screamed the estate to a standstill. A doctor was on hand to administer a sedative and she was now sleeping in her chambers, attended by a close friend.
Inspector Frodsham gathered everyone in the drawing room. It was a tradition among the Runcorns of Arrowfield to retire early on Christmas Eve, so the suspects were dressed in pyjamas and robes,...

The Friendly Abductor
Get in the car please
No not in the seat, in the trunk
Oh I'm terribly sorry
Where's my manners
I'll open that for you
Comfy now?
Good
I'll move those items over for you
Yes, that's right, that's a sledgehammer, a shovel, an axe and a hunting knife
Don't worry, once we arrive to our destination,
I will bludgeon you, chop you up and throw you into a shallow grave
I promise, you won't feel a thing
Enjoy the ride
SLAM!

The Snowman’s Revenge
a Christmas ghost story
Not one person knew who made the snowman,
they said in the end it was “kids”,
that venerable answer to
such articles of mystery.
A year had passed since Peter’s dad
had shot himself where now the snowman stood,
on losing his job in the pits,
to bitter end cursing his faithless wife.
The carrot nose and coal buttons,
the dotted smile, eyes, top hat, and scarf;
it looked like some kind wizard stopped
and filled the drive with cheer for passers by.
With child’s logic, though, Peter...

We're all just a f**king number anyway
Right, Left, Black, White, He Or She
Rich, Poor, Young, Old, You Or Me
I Don't Care
Killer, Heathen, Dumb, Smart or Impaired
Brown, Yellow, Beggar, Gay, Whore, I'll never care
Difference In Look Or Opinion, Makes No Fucking Difference To Me
We're All Equals
The powers to be divide us up.
They create the boundaries, the wars, the prejudices we have for each other.
They want us to hate, to kill, to destroy, for their gain.

Innocent until proven stupid
The father appears at a funeral
His wife, daughter & son are all dead
They were shot, execution style
He was home that night
He claimed he was passed out, piss drunk on the bed
They never found the assailants
They never found the gun
2 weeks later he moved in with his girlfriend
He confessed to murdering all of his family
She believed him
They were married one month later
His wife, daughter & son are all dead
They were shot, execution style
He was home that night
He claimed he was passed out, piss drunk on the bed
They never found the assailants
They never found the gun
2 weeks later he moved in with his girlfriend
He confessed to murdering all of his family
She believed him
They were married one month later

The Laws they Break to Claim
In your book written by man,
seems you always had a plan,
"Thou shalt not kill," hands carve into stone,
Yet the streets filled, mother's crying in pain,
the dead children lie alone.
Your man made laws seem revered, while gods rules are yet feared, apparently you said they were divine,
Mocked by the blood of innocence that stains the vine.
Oh, the irony of laws they once did pen
Rules from gods, ignored by men.
In lands where olive groves once grew,
The soil runs red was it worth it to "you"? ...

Don’t forget about the dog people
Half human half bitch
Barks when I get a delivery
Back yard grass is tall
Shadow behind the trees
Emerges as I squint my eyes
Human on dogs legs
Wearing camouflage and
Strapping Ar15
Area 51 Roswell
Genetic mutant before me
Not in his birthday suit
Dog hairs on fabric
Clip is in let the anger begin
Scenic split seconds
Thunder in the living room
So you told me to stop
Firing grim reapers ...

Off of the Tint
See the reflection
Off of the tint
Bloody violence is the scene
Feeling Dakota in the big apple
One who walks among angels of music
Just laid down a new track
Watching the wheels spinning
As he gets into the limousine
Sittin beside him is his lady
No she didn’t break up the Beatles
She’s his companion
Through this twisted world
Skin on skin with baby Sean
Beautiful boy waiting upstairs
Pulls the handle steps out
He’s a gentleman so ...

Teenage Vampire
how can you know the distance run
between the longing and the sun…
when I was just a little boy
they caught me with a rat,
about to sink my fangs in it.
the sun slanting between
the houses on that row
to where I crouched beside the hose and bikes
and contemplated blood.
they called me mad
and locked me up
and gave out pills
like sweets on Christmas morn.
they tried to unlock a room in my skull
that would contain the answers to my self.
abandoned at just four years old, ...
between the longing and the sun…

Uncrossing
Silent screams on the asphalt,
life that stops in the blink of an eye.
A feathered dream falls,
a hairy hope falls,
lost in the blur of the floor.
The road, cold and indifferent judge,
echoes in so much absence
with legs and wings,
that once vibrated
in the sweet embrace of nature.
The pain remains
in tire tracks,
a testimony to the fleeting life
and the cruel intersections
of human haste
and wild innocence.
life that stops in the blink of an eye.

a hairy hope falls,
lost in the blur of the floor.

Serial quitter
Now that she was calmer,
she looked at the sun
and decided to walk away from there.
She felt unobserved,
as if her existence had no
any greater interest to any other being.
She found that silence strange,
nothing in the air or coming from the nearby forest,
she didn't associate all this with the absence
of songs and chirps in the hot afternoon.
She remained distracted...
Without even noticing that the path
was paved with thousands
and thousands of heads ripped off from birds.
