Mean People Suck
Always so destructive
Ripping peeps apart
Your hateful criticism
Only you know art?
Looking down your literary nose
At every word you read
Ruthlessly criticizing
Missing the beauty in diversity
So next time you are tempted to comment
Keep it to yourself
Turn the fuck around
And walk away
No one cares what you have to say!!
**I so hope you recognize yourself in this piece! You nasty mean ass!!

Regret
I wish. Would have. Should
Have. Done this, done that. I sigh.
In fog of regret.

The song bottled
A lot of people asking how I’m doing lately.
I tend to lie and say that I am doing fine.
Secretly I think most of these people hate me,
and that they’d rather turn an eye, then read between the lines.
Though the same sad song on repeat can be irritating,
for me this song forever gnaws at both my soul and mind.
It plays so loud it drowns out every thought in waking.
At night, no dream can seem to leave it’s haunting themes behind.
At times, my daily fight feels not but forsaking,
when others banish my battle,...

Sleepwalking
Where is my zest for
Life? I'm sleepwalking. I move
Through the same motions.
Life? I'm sleepwalking. I move

Routine of life
This routine of life
Eat, work, sleep, repeat. I am
On autopilot.

Kneel For Me
The Nine Muses who infuses my Charkas with wisdom, replenishes my temple with a thirst of knowledge, ordains my body within its tantric christening, and shelters my mind against the great storms of life.
Kneel for me when my voice is weak
I’m short of breath when I can no longer speak
Kneel for me as I’m being brutality slammed to the ground
When no cell phone cameras are visibly around
Kneel for me when the boys in blue are choke holding me while taking me down
Handcuffed for a traffic stop, now bruised, placed in a police cruiser and taken downtown
...

"mind games"
In this eternal stream I'm washed..
As my joint gets ashed
and the dead layers
get shed..
A slave to the mind game..
Into the stratosphere is where I aim,
Lift off...
Beyond the formlessness I see
Me.
As my joint gets ashed
and the dead layers
get shed..
A slave to the mind game..
Into the stratosphere is where I aim,
Lift off...
Beyond the formlessness I see
Me.

Kernel Version Unknown .10
Every night for as long as I can remember I would scan the infobhan for images, vintage images, of humans having sex. I found a comfort in it, I don't know why. Remnants of an antiquated system of reproduction, messy and unhygienic. Humans would link their bodies through genitals situated at the lower half of their bodies. The male penis would enter and through a series of penetrating movements he would ejaculate a substance teaming with gametes, the process then formed a zygote and there began organic life.
I found it elicited a feeling in me, a feeling no one else I knew of...
