Legacy
This is the art in me, freedom of life to live.
we shaped some clay to play,
with animals we made,
in the river that made loudly voices in caves
it was a small village of peace that waved
I know...
its quite a concealed revelation,
so to speak
not many have obtained the experience
to seek,
but the privileged ones got weak,
i'm convinced
i'm afraid the young ones,
wont mold a clay like the old ones,
but i'm certain the ones we molded
will become statues...

Hymn of Acxiom #Vienna Tang
That blanket that concealed the truth
And all dissinformation rule. and just to trawl
To capture pearls though they be small
That passwords secrets come and gone
Until the shit all hit the fan
Until the shit all hit the fan
The jewlery and keepsakes drawers
And not disguised in cloak and gloves
Just innocence of the users clause
They robbed you naked of your clothes
They robbed you naked left you so exposed
Nuggets from a mine so open cast
And self esteem just echoed in a hollow laugh
You featured in your...

Manufactured Again
stone cold truth
fingers fucking
desperate pages
defiled beyond proof
guilty of pain

money is god
political banter
simple rules
painted green
corrupted

desperation
common folk
raped by congress
a lonely house
tools traded
skin game

enslaved
nothing changes
repeated story

The Anatomy of Scars
manufacture the politics to trend
the conflict that they herald
the undying media
endorsing all the fabricated hatred that wont end
I dont believe in world peace
when humanity is war
but you're sold a narrative to fight for
your perspective, your reality
when you're looking for the evidence to sustain your own delusion
when did paranoia become a purpose
distinguished by the exaltation of victimization
never the predator, always the instigator
in love with the infamy
the pride of the lies
feed the fight for the sake of...

Capitalist Aggression
Land of the Free
Home of the Slave
You could very well be
better off living in a cave
Road to Hell they pave
by paying next to nothing;
least amount required by Law
while trying to sell
some shock and awe
bullshit about you
being unskilled
therefore expendable
There's the door -
positions to be filled by plenty
from where you came from -
born into households poor
Capitalist
so fucking full of yourself
pissed at the prospect:
hamburgers costing
twenty-five...

Revelations
come wicked harbinger
oh death where art thou?
picking through the bones of slaughter
I witness you on the horizon
sifting through the ashes of nothingness
yesterdays failed to satisfy
tomorrow will find your arms empty
I will raid your house
steal what you thought was stored...empty hell
what shall you drink--
when I've freed the slaves of iniquity?
incubus over sin
succubus of pain
slurping off the emotions of man
I will empty your coffers
you won't eat from my table ...

21st Century Idiocracy
I tend to lean to the left, even though I'm a righty,
Because the views from the right are too extreme,
Conservatives think they’re in with the Almighty,
But W in the office? It still makes my blood scream.
I mean who put that guy in the White House?
Oh yeah never mind, Florida liked to rock the vote,
I’m still a little pissed over those missing ballots,
And with brother as governor, politics are cutthroat.
Not even a year in as prez and he was put to the test,
When evil showed its ugly face on America’s door,
And oddly enough a lot of it...

Men are from Mars and women are from Venus.
Here I am, I'm just a man;
So evidently, I must be in the wrong.
Women are superior to men, yes were the weaker sex;
So now I've said what you wanted to hear,
Are you going to get undressed?
And give me a blow and do what I like in bed.
Yes you’re the stronger sex, keep sucking, oh yeah!
But back street abortions are another story;
Just like a man speaking to a woman about the morning’s glory.
Understanding, yet not truly knowing how the other feels;
We are capable of listening to each other’s every need.
Yet lacking the...

Wrong Era For f**kboys
They’re asking you to be something
that’s impossible
Do you know how absolutely
horrible the truth is?
Where there isn’t a
Crime, they’ll
Invent
One
The eight is
My fate
And it’s always
Too late
I don’t know if
It’s something
Wrong, it’s just
Something else
Trying to get me
Together with this
hot blonde Belarusian
Chick, but she’s too
Hot. She needs a
Rough and tough
Belarusian dude to put
Her in...

I...had a horrible dream
I… had a horrible
dream last night…
'bout the Terrible Mr T…
He was getting married…
in a big white church…
to the US Presidency.
The Americas were
in the audience…
as was the rest of the World.
All of us watched
with 'bated breath...
as the spectacle unfurled.
When the preacher asked
if any had reason... why the wedding should not proceed…
Conscience spoke up
from the back of the hall…
and shouted, "He's unfit to lead!"
But Conscience' voice fell
on ears deaf to...

Home Grown Terrorist- Texas...Ohio
Terrorists,
I guess no one ever showed you how to feel
with your eyes closed
that there are beauties that exist
in the world beyond skin
that a white hood does not make you pure
that a gun will not grant you glorification
we remember...
that her final breaths
were an innocent soul’s forgiving prayers
in Trump’s pestilence
that a mother’s cries can penetrate prejudice
that a foreign tongue can be transcending
in the Texas tumult of trampling and tyrants
in the sibling slaughter and sacrifice
Ohio... ...

A Crack in this Castle of Glass
what's the answer?
if we all come together
show we are strong once again
maybe then we will see progress
hahaha, like that will happen
oh wait
they say guns aren't the problem
because killing 20 people in a minute
makes sense?
a gun that does that doesn't belong
how about that be the line
and you can keep your capacity
not really sure how we all got this brain washed
so much so that coming together is like betrayal
dishonouring our red and blue GANGs
Trump isn't like Hitler
