BLACK FANGS (translated for an easier horizontal read)
Bloodthirsty barren broken bats brutally believe
Leftover lucifer laddened lackluster lives leave
As angels angrily abandon anxiety
Cannibalistic cynicism compliancy
Knowing knowledgeable knives kill
Fatalistic fantasy finally filled
As avid assassins appear abnormal
Nourished nativism narcism normal
Graspinggrinding gasping grievances get gnashed
Society successfully silenced six senses slashed
Leftover lucifer laddened lackluster lives leave
As angels angrily abandon anxiety
Cannibalistic cynicism compliancy
Knowing knowledgeable knives kill
Fatalistic fantasy finally filled
As avid assassins appear abnormal
Nourished nativism narcism normal
Graspinggrinding gasping grievances get gnashed
Society successfully silenced six senses slashed

MAGA
They've got a trigger finger itch
the likes of which you ought believe
are the first person shooter glitch
installed since Adam first beat Eve
and bruised that finger in the act
but blamed it all on the lady
since testosterone negates fact
and proceeds to call it shady.
Yet some of us are poison free
and see abuse through neutral eyes,
to mark susceptibility,
which bullies see as their next prize,
(in a one on one conspectus)...
but when meek numbers grow in size
those fuckers will respect us,
and all the...

Vote Blue
Trump's speeches are half Hitler and the other half Mussolini
his mind is as soft as over cooked linguine
His brain is working at less than 2/3rds
and at every campaign stop he slurs his words
He espouses conspiracy theories about things that are untoward
this poor man belongs on a psych ward
DJT is mentally ill
and can't afford to pay his 464 million dollar bill
The MSM is dodging this issue still
and unbiased journalism is now a lost skill
Four more years of Trump and American Democracy is through ...

The Slave Théater {Act One}
as time slips into the future
it drags its own unique brand of baggage
of unreconciled relics
and a gang of blame gamers
raging against the machine behind 'enemy' lines
stuck on stagnant rhetoric
choking on wokeness
minds on remedial remote control
emotions enflamed by Molotov cocktails
politically corrected..
castrated ...circumcised...
wandering like an exposed dick-head
in quicksand ideology
regurgitating familiar social hiccups
that was always doomed to fail
future past...fast forwarded

Bullshit
Why is fake news?
Called fake news?
In the good ole' days
'We' used a more direct approach
It was simply called bullshit
And was oft used as a pronoun
Normally associated with certain individuals
Known for speaking untruths, aka lies
Such as 'bullshit Bob' etc
I did know someone
Who called themselves bullshit Dave
Or whatever his name was
But i kind of respected him for that
For his honesty
About his dishonesty
But then again
Maybe he was bullshitting
About being a bullshitter
Nice...

Daze Dreaming
You can try & scream for change
Higher officials suck
Day to day life drains you dry
Nobody gives two fucks!
Professional Castigation
A disbelieving eye
Drug Free America won’t occur
Supply & demand until you die
People here are dazed
Epidemic of handling life
Drunk to remember tomorrow
Buried five feet under tonight

Triumph
My sibling had a journey through pressure
in the sear of July
increased tensions,
following a deliberation
rusted and decayed out leaders
they sang the song of the death dirge
we can all now rest in peace

A David you're not
If you want to throw stones
at a giant
make sure there is a volcano
in your palm
ready to erupt
when it hits your target
Sling it in an arch
big enough
to make the degree scream
sign language to the deaf
Let the whistling of its trajectory
wake the earth
let every eye follow the arc
of its intended path
breaking sound barriers
along the way

Polar Opposites
The mainstreams news — the NY Times, the Washington Post, USA Today, the New Yorker, the Atlantic, MSNBC, CNN, Fox, ABC, NBC, CBS — simply stopped reporting the news and repeated whatever the fascist Pharma state told them to say.
All knowledge production industries stopped producing knowledge and fell in line to produce fascism, misery, and death to enrich the ruling class. It is as if the Enlightenment and the revolutions (scientific, political, and social) of the last two hundred and fifty years never happened.
The political left became the authoritarian right as they...

Shut Up and Read
Are you aware of the facts?
Racist fucking lies
Government is corrupt
Earth born Genocide
Do you truly give a fuck?
Society's ultimate demise
Warning before we deconstruct
Authorities killing minorities
So much useless crime
Who's serving the time?
Your told to obey these fools
You coward in the shadows
You act more like a pack of mules
