BEHAVE OR BE ENSLAVED
Retribution or rehabilitation
What's the solution of the equation
My conclusion is that it's the former
Man's resolution for nonconformers
Employers ignore ya if you're a felon
Recidivism's high; back in jail again
It's a win, win for the former C.C.A.
And all the investors looking for pay
They say the days of slaves are history
Yet that's not true if you commit a felony
Was it all designed to be in a master's plan
The 2nd highest population of all the lands
What's the solution of the equation
My conclusion is that it's the former
Man's resolution for nonconformers
Employers ignore ya if you're a felon
Recidivism's high; back in jail again
It's a win, win for the former C.C.A.
And all the investors looking for pay
They say the days of slaves are history
Yet that's not true if you commit a felony
Was it all designed to be in a master's plan

Cold Hearted If You Have One
Up against your loaded eyes
You speak in a language of silence
As your bitterness is coming through
Offenses derived of inadequacy
As if I should live subject to the approval of you
Mutual insecurity contrived of lacking
Compensating
Take to the stage of our social role play
Scripted after policy puppetry
From corporate marionettes
Is this a dance or a war?
Finding harmony in the dissonance of a common ground enemy
Skip the pleasantries and lay it out
Abusing need to manipulate
Advantages taken

Straight Off The Press (What Are You Willing To Stand Up To Or Die For)
I am so frightened for humanity as I write upon my sacred scroll…. I sat through two mandatory round table discussion meetings of listening to propaganda rhetoric issued guidelines from the CEO spearheaded by our home office in Seattle in regard to a memo from the CDC (Centers for Disease Center).
There is a wicked forecast precipitated on the future horizon. People we are fucked, please excuse my vile expression due in part as a non-vaccinated person, I stand corrected, I only have received the Hepatitis Series vaccine prior to entering Nursing School,...

Farewell, rainbow
.. ... ... ...
Farewell, rainbow
No advantage can be taken over it...
Because it is so elusive
Eyes and tears in the air
Clouds are always put up
Ephimeral sunlight shining...
... always find raindrops
Farewell, rainbow
It can only carry out a thorough appraisal
Sincere spectrum ... Transparent analysis
It could be used in the arts
Who would want to see through its pretense?
Everyone knows it will pass through falling sleet
Top secrets form in the spray created by secrets
... ... ... ...

We are Ruckus
The neighbor walks his dog, stops
at a house to taunt their dogs,
his dog urinates on the tire
of the car parked in front,
to mark the farthest corner
of a rectangle that starts
from where he stays, the other end
of the road and of his world.
Now it is a dispute in barks
joined in by dogs in homes nearby,
yawps and throaty bellows,
the homes are honking,
a neighbor allowed his mutt...

Kaleidoscope of the mind
Layer after layer
pulling back the veil
finding more
empty promises
empty words
hiding the rot of the core
traitors or patriots
choose
the false duality of choice
destroys the kaleidoscope
of the mind
fight
to exist
unhindered and free
fight with your soul and spirit
become a warrior
at peace
hate is not freedom
but blinds
chains the mind
controls you
a puppet on a string
three simple rules
to live
free
never trust corporations
never trust the greed

The delicacy of sweet anarchy.
I tenderly caress danger
stoking flames of rumination
to harden and crystallize
O' sweet anarchy
Plucked ripe,
ardent juices flow
upon a lush dreamscape
of ferocious wickedness
Undulating truth
solicits harbor
hidden deep
within folds
of sacred legend
Where,
forged as one
our shared delicacy
devours—
whole.

Where,

R.A.P
I refrain from conversing 'bout religion and politics
To tame me from blood thirsting like hungry tics
I pick and choose who I divulge my sacred views to
Unless you choose to peruse through my poetry too
Many clues of my views are administered via rhymes
Like bumps of Coke, they're laid out in straight lines
To tame me from blood thirsting like hungry tics
I pick and choose who I divulge my sacred views to
Unless you choose to peruse through my poetry too
Many clues of my views are administered via rhymes
Like bumps of Coke, they're laid out in straight lines
