I'm Really serious
In a man's world your traded off
I've even been switched
With
.... back and forth,
across a few state lines
Red rover red rover
....release Oli on over
But they dont have enough to convince oli to stay
...when a true friend closed the deal,
he'd just provided the higher bid
I wonder the next price I'll pay
And then one time its by the best of them
... that wined dined and
plenty of
...sadating us all,
with the rest of them
With their spooning long enough
... to their next moves'...

pill
numbness helps one to not as much mind that one's being eaten alive....by something that seems impossible to die ....
why is there something about the word "society" that never seems to sit right(with me)and not just dislike....I don't identify as "anti" but....
"alone" "feels" better most times; while subjected to "societal lies"....

Strawberry lemonade
Little brother you're fourteen
Not a child and barely a teen
Tightening your grip on things you know
Trying to hide the emotions you still show
I know growing up can be so scary
Never met someone who so loved anything strawberry
Oh little brother, its easy to love you
Even when you proclaim so loudly that you're too blue
How you're feeling dead inside
Yes, I see all the things you hide
You're too much like me when I was your age
Though I may come off too much like a sage
I was painted by the same hand of destiny
All I want to do...
Not a child and barely a teen
Tightening your grip on things you know
Trying to hide the emotions you still show
I know growing up can be so scary
Never met someone who so loved anything strawberry
Oh little brother, its easy to love you
Even when you proclaim so loudly that you're too blue
How you're feeling dead inside
Yes, I see all the things you hide
You're too much like me when I was your age
Though I may come off too much like a sage
I was painted by the same hand of destiny
All I want to do...

Coming Of Age
I lost my smile today
of Gumby in clay
and gave away my tears
for the death of books
now gathering dust
without a word to shed
in remembrance of
the paper-mache shadow
of Winnie-the-Pooh
coming of age
of Gumby in clay
and gave away my tears
for the death of books
now gathering dust
without a word to shed
in remembrance of
the paper-mache shadow
of Winnie-the-Pooh
coming of age

The Truth Lies Within
Discover the Truth for yourself
Forget everything you've been told
Believe not a thing that you've heard
Believe me,
I've told you
how to know
what is True
Forget what
you've read,
you already do
Forget everything you've been told
Believe not a thing that you've heard
Believe me,
I've told you
how to know
what is True
Forget what
you've read,
you already do

Breathe
Counting down from ten is actually harder than it seems,
The challenge comes from trying it as you breathe.
Sit up tall and inhale through your nose.
Lower your chin as that breath holds.
Now relax your neck and shoulders
And exhale when you're ready,
Letting it all out.
At the end
Breath in;
Count.

My I is nothing
As salt dissolves in water
To nothingness
So do I vanish
Into emptiness.
As the wax melts
Before the flame
So am I transformed
In its presence.
As the river is swallowed
By the ocean
So am I submerged
Into the ocean of existence.
As all returns
To the zero point
So do I return
To the epicentre of life.

Turning pages
When crows attack / Scarecrow at the pulpit / Pharaohs with skulls to sip / Arrows with diamond tips / Narrow mindfulness / Bandalero of bullets and baby doll heads / Loki will pause when Noah’s dead / Evolve past the misled / Credit to the inner hardened broken child / Cloak of the wild / Slippery slope to a trope pile / Freestyle subliminally / Milestones get shimmery / Old black belts surrounding me are all walking piles of injuries / Wily guile unhurried / So life’s trials find me unworried / Curry a riddle for the sages / Blurry but I’ll whittle it in stages / These Middle Ages / Turn so...

Ancient Whispers From The Tomb Of Moses
Minds to wonder of unseen greatness
For strength lies into the unknown
Grasping the knowledge to make one stand tall
Yet, we fall under the grace of man
Failing our purpose of truth in the religious eyes of our Creator
Talk of wars, universal famine, and systematic homelessness
The trinity of Hell composed in blood on earth
We bow in grace of its consequences to disregard
And pivot our goodwill to give to the wretched
Who sells us the theology of his dreams, his mansions, his fast cars
Shed tears, give of our souls to reach...
For strength lies into the unknown

Ciphers of Grace
Fragile grounds we tread
The same sickness expressed relative to environment
Seeking ways to feel better
Turbulence contrived of incompatible tastes
The rose is not the stem
Is it the petals or the thorns that you see the most?
When in truth the substance of the garden
Is an identical vine sprouting from the same root
One flesh and the same bloodline
Our veins are rivers of red flowing into a single ravine
Narrowing in, as we merge into one, singleness dies
Friction comes with growing
We’re learning how to live what we...

Cleansing My Mind Honoring My Temple
Blessed be unto the caress of the gentle wind
Close my eyes, traveling to a land long before the creation of sin
I hear the hooves of chariots as man stand in God’s image
Oh, greatness of thou Pyramids, Pharaohs calling within another dimension
The Nile, I bathed the heritage of my melanin in the bosom of its depth
The Ankh, my amulet adorned proudly around my neck
I breathed the air, so laden of roses, frankincense, myrrh and sweet-smelling Jasmine ...
