Boomerang ! Or Self-Destroyer ?
You do not have any friends, that's why you block those who won't talk with you.
spare yourself the trouble, you can't give what you don't have, so no need
to wear thick when its already hot, and say the sky is blue when you do not need to.
You wear red outside your house, and i know that inside you are as gray as the
walls that surround you, you can even dissolve into the walls and become a dumb,
mute stone..as well, you affect your look; your walk, you stalk the naive, introvert
ones, and you stutter like a turkey before the gentlemen, but,...

unfortunate
my name’s smith, he said,
which they assumed was
an alias, but which
unfortunately wasn’t, since
they hanged him, thinking
he was somebody else
entirely, and thus he
ended up entirely dead

Idiot savants
Go and gather up the known affiliates.
We're gonna build a village of idiots.
We gotta make sure this gets crazy.
"Getting out of hand" to me is just lazy.
Had our fill of tastless "pain et cirque".
Contorting dough into a shape won't work.
Hunting down cerebral stimuli.
We got the time to kill but it won't die.
Gonna paint this town the bloodiest of red.
A thin veneer of all the living dead.
Choking to death on the lives they've led.
Infected by the many lies wide-spread.
Blunt force persuasion you beg us to...

Shake the Vows
A needle pricked seamstress, bored
Stitching buttons on ventriloquist dolls,
Sewed wedding rings to tambourines.
And played a song of freedom
For oppressed housewives, and
Children of the walking dead.
Stitching buttons on ventriloquist dolls,
Sewed wedding rings to tambourines.
And played a song of freedom
For oppressed housewives, and

As the World turns
look East they chanted
look East, look East
and they did
the vanquished was lavish
in their achievements
hail sons of the Rising Sun
work hard o' children of toil
till the land
cut the hills to make plantations
sully the water
who cares, they are for monkeys
what...you need that for survival
monkeys or humans
choose....
oh look the money's coming
ker ching ...ker ching
lets spend it on a ship
an old used one
that will never sink
the rest of the money is mine
...

America The Beautiful
America is Beautiful
Regardless of the actions and intentions that created it
America is visually magnificent
Majestic mountains, strong rivers, wide open plains
A land of natural beauty
By virtue of birth I've staked my claim to this land and its promises
By deeds of those who came before me, I demand my place at the table
America Is Beautiful
It's government, a different story
And for that I must bear the blame
I challenge not these weasels and snakes
Therefore I must partake of their shame

Not even second class
A fucking white male
So privileged
Far right misogynistic
Extreme family man
Nazi ad infinitum expelleleosism
The solution to this white stain?
Replacement
Or total annihilation?

(broken) City Streets
the wretched burnt-orange sun
beats down on my broken car
as she thumps mindlessly through potholes
with windows down
we gaze at clowns
and the derelicts
and the dirty tricks
as they crawl
across the pavement
the lively beauties walk
amongst jackasses and Gemini's
confused hooligans steal
from random pedestrians
to feed addictions
fulfilling a need
they mean you no harm, indeed
despite their transgressions
we're all devoured
by our own deceptions
beats down on my broken car
as she thumps mindlessly through potholes
with windows down
we gaze at clowns
and the derelicts
and the dirty tricks
as they crawl
across the pavement
the lively beauties walk
amongst jackasses and Gemini's
confused hooligans steal
from random pedestrians
to feed addictions
fulfilling a need
they mean you no harm, indeed
despite their transgressions
we're all devoured
by our own deceptions

At Least There’s A Cure
Invisible devices bind, leaving such
beautifully deep and bleeding scars
A pain that pours from the secret places
seeping into the hearts of those we
cherish most, killing them
ever so slowly
Love is a disease
God gnawing at Adam’s rib, a rabid dog
chewing until the spit and bone dust
created Eve, then with blood and semen
she and he bred death
A demon called decay teaching that
everything rots for the fallen, laughs
at the lovers gaze, for he sees
the brutality artfully hidden and
tastes the...

Untitled
Anticipating the taunt
Of a spellbound fate was
Like irony for some
Vicarious shame,
Bringing loneliness
To those of whom
Have beckoned, trekked,
Waited for poetic justice in the
Retribution of intrusive
Marketing that shrouds, hides.
Masterful callousness,
Pretending to never feel,
Mocked and laughed at
The innocent wonder
Of familiar reminiscence,
Like insisting favor
Was sensual, assuming an
Embarrassing tease,
Reinforcing the numb veracity
Of what carnality was worth. ...

Division
World is spinning
Way too fast
I can't keep up
I can't last
Too much division
Tearing us apart
Noone cares
About anyone's heart
I just want to feel
The sun shine on me
Till I can rise
And meet it in the sky
If it's peace you're looking for
Sorry, there's none to find
Way too fast
I can't keep up
I can't last
Too much division
Tearing us apart
Noone cares
About anyone's heart
I just want to feel
The sun shine on me
Till I can rise
And meet it in the sky
If it's peace you're looking for
Sorry, there's none to find
