furious you might be doubting
you pause
to consider how best to respond
and before you have your moment to speak
is
gone
off their heads they
have
to just carry on shouting ..

In America
In America
has privilege poisoned us
contaminated the water
in our pipe dreams
driving us to hate our neighbors
cause the HOA said
you didn't trim your flowers right
In America
gold our false idol
pull up your boots
tie them up tight
it's all up to you
missed the bus couldn't pay the rent
living in a tent outside an abandoned school
In America
my sister has rules
row yourself up the river
cover your face bind your hands
walking through a street of fools
listen to the poor rich man...

On The Brink (collab with DamianDeadLove)
It's arriving today
Our own extinction
Created with hate
For evil we annihilate
Been digging graves
Under a blood red moon
Until the enemy caves
Falling like a lead balloon
Filling our lungs
With winds of death
Crushing our bones
And burning our flesh
Air raid siren screams
Feeling panic build inside
Acid infested streams
Death rolls in with the tide
Our world is under siege
Because of "their" reign
For those who survive
Nothing but torment,...

A Modest Return
The dupe prefers a midnight shade to snare a single hide,
Drafts the freely given dark for ends you long denied.
Doesn’t need your genuflection, yet demands your sole attention,
Waited long to seize your mind, your behaviour modified.
Stumble if you want to, but I’ve seen it overtake you,
Now you forfeit what was once true,
For a modest return.
Scriptoriums in dusty hills announce the new diversion,
The flicker show grants its favours to the picture-perfect person,
Flung afar from every platform, deft manoeuvres make us conform,
We can...
Drafts the freely given dark for ends you long denied.
Doesn’t need your genuflection, yet demands your sole attention,
Waited long to seize your mind, your behaviour modified.
Stumble if you want to, but I’ve seen it overtake you,
Now you forfeit what was once true,
For a modest return.
Scriptoriums in dusty hills announce the new diversion,
The flicker show grants its favours to the picture-perfect person,
Flung afar from every platform, deft manoeuvres make us conform,

Bugging
Blah blah blah we say
Words float gently in the breeze
Thoughts just drift away.
Empty phrases fly
Through the quiet afternoon
Time slips slowly by.
In the stillness here
Meaning hides within the blur
Silence speaks so clear.
Words float gently in the breeze
Thoughts just drift away.
Empty phrases fly
Through the quiet afternoon
Time slips slowly by.
In the stillness here
Meaning hides within the blur
Silence speaks so clear.

Today in Congress
According to Donald Trump he was saved by God to make America great again.
I happen to think that God is just a lousy shot with a rifle.He should stick to lightning bolts next time.
Then again, maybe God decided after he pulled the trigger, that he didn't need a martyr afterall.

Wake The f**k Up!
This democracy is so full of hypocrisy
The digital age spawned a cesspool of degeneracy
Repeating the cycle of stupidity
Taking a shit on our civil liberties
Divide the blind from those who see
They infect this nation with ideas of freedom
A false reality is what they give us
In their promise to "save" us
Terrorist-tic tactics feed the machine
We are all just slaves to corrupted authority
The CIA and the DEA burned the constitution of the USA
While Politicians in DC are never locked away

Anti-Establishment
Just beyond the Verizon I foresee
Our veins will become circuitry
Mindless drones consuming the disease in denial
No original thought process in their empty minds
Just blind leading the blind
Not serving a purpose
Only purposely serving on their knees
Kill your gods
Kill your governments
Freedom exists only in the mind
The mind is a weapon you should wield
Should you choose to ignore the blueprint facade
You will succumb the the programing of a false god and government
They plot for total domination ...
Our veins will become circuitry

Disguised Dictatorship
Reign of corruption
Democracy came to an end
Money for justice
Blinded by the government
Vultures overflying
Waiting death of society
Death by the government
Maniac ideology spreading blood!!
Dictatorship disguised
Growing up on their lies
Brainwashing decadent minds
Hidden the truth of our eyes
Hiding the murders
Guilty without guiltiness
Rotten state
Rapist of justice and liberty
Bloodstained
Wrong-way of democracy
Ruling through fear
Amorphous equality painted with blood!!

Stupid Motherf**ker Apocalypse
everyone walks around like a zombie
but it is me screaming brains! brains!
where the fuck are the brains!?
seems one day became today
thinking we're too late
it's the stupid motherfucker apocalypse!
we've heard about them
even seen them around
the stupid and hateful
we didn't think much of them
laughed them off as a joke
little did we know
the stupidity was spreading
the headline read Hillary lost
a reality TV star won
oh well
what's the worst that could happen?

Liabilities
Bill Burr has billionaires dead to rights, because of eminent domain logic.
Is not justifiable homicide, justifiable, because of the ascertained risk to the community?
-The Midnight Sonneteer
“The needs of the many outweigh the needs of the few, or the one.”
-Surak of Vulcan

Walls
Look at these walls. They’re everywhere decreed.
Inside me. Inside you. Between us too.
‘tween my neighbors and me, walls intercede.
Houses of walls, fences blocking the view.
South at the border they build chunks of walls.
Hate chunks and fear chunks materialized
Steely expressions of bigoted drawls.
Essence of lynch mobs surrealialized.
A dike is a wall. It holds back the sea
Minds can hold walls that don’t need installing.
Billionaire dikes holding back you and me.
They mask the good; they hide the appalling.
