The Usual Suspect
Living in this so-called reality
Feasting off flesh that’s rotten
Turning dreams into desperation
Everything gained was ill-gotten
When your born on third base
It’s not possible to earn respect
Considering the bridges burned
Leading us to the usual suspect
Feasting off flesh that’s rotten
Turning dreams into desperation
Everything gained was ill-gotten
When your born on third base
It’s not possible to earn respect
Considering the bridges burned

Privatization & Deregulation Ruined NYC
NYC doesn't have alligators but it does have moats, that at one time protected the downtown subculture.
This kept away the jocks, yuppies, normal people and other intruders.
By the late 1990's, crime subsided and the real estate developers magically made the hood livable.
NYC was losing it's soul.
By the time the new millennium was near, the real estate boom forever transformed the city's styles & attitudes.
The oddities lost their frontier
Some rolled with these changes, others left the city and some reminisced about the "Good old days". ...

anarchy
anger arcs and peaks
wicked verses escape me
vertigo of the soul
escalating in the revolution of the world
here we go kids
time to wake up
unveil your face
we're entering into a different zone
ride the elevator all the way down
the hierarchy is in control
deciding who comes and goes
buckle up the ride has just begun
a sickle gathers souls
the machine is conquering and dividing
a mass deception meant to divert your attention
look what's happening under your nose
you're going to vote ...

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
If you want to sling stones
at a giant
make sure there’s a volcano
in your palm
ready to erupt
when it hits...

STAYING IN BED FOR PEACE
I'll "stay in bed for peace":
my tensions I'll release
in acts of making love
to my beautiful Dove.
I'm not going to war
for White House warrior
who didn't get to 'Nam
when called by Uncle Sam.
They who have most treasures
no doubt keep their pleasures:
I"m richer than I need
in arms of my bed steed.
We're trying to 'get caught',
knowing that life's too short -
and will be shorter still
if I'm sent...
my tensions I'll release
in acts of making love
to my beautiful Dove.
I'm not going to war
for White House warrior
who didn't get to 'Nam

Concrete
Zoolike daze
your life in an
X-files maze
world issues
violence hate
urban horror
the cupidity
shatters us
rigid politics
questionable
pharmacies
opportunistic
news readers
manipulators
lying leaders
kindless, idle
jurisdictions
indifference
hypocrisies
Government
fucks stuff up
ending earth
deforestation
concrete jungle
biohazard frenzy
awake, my friends

X-files maze

GOING AGAINST THE GRAIN
As I raise upon another day in this world 🌍 of chaos and drama. I am awakening up on this day to learn, that the Democrats, are playing the blame game. 😞 Trying to figure out who's at fault??🤨 FOR this disaster of there Hope, of still being in charge, as the Democrat party. Yet all your have to do is look at thyself, for sure it's annoying but yet look at the situations. THAT you all have created not really caring, knowing whatever we do comes with repercussion and consequences.. 😞 YET you still believe that you got it in the 💰 💰 💰 bags...

Pussy
It would be easier to baptize a cat or catch a fart and paint it green
than
getting politicians to tell the truth
Just saying.

Executive Fever
Marked safe from tears when shitty bosses die
I think of the long stingy road to this,
where estimation will not even try
to have no obligation go amiss
in a republic of the free and brave;
free, that is, to accumulate more debt,
as less and less we can keep from the grave,
unless lotteries are a winning bet.
Yet in this mess they say the boss is right
and that the private jet and private yacht
are not somehow an ecologic blight
where at least the Orcas have not been bought
and know damn well that they can't trust a boat ...

homeless
the night's
cold is
apparently
unaware
of what
it is
doing
to me,
it is
creeping
onto
my skin,
finding
its way
to
my bones,
and by
morning,
i may be
as cold
as the
night was,
unless the
sun can
save me.

~defenseless
in the heart of auburn equatorial sun
drumming wild with wet thunderbeats
of shrinking craniums & surfacing
uraniums- with winking tricky glints
of golden diamonds, busy feeding
the bloodied cartels
where also the social bonobos
still thrive in the feminine reigns
enriched by the gushing wide
riverine Congo & the falling high
Zongo in sand~ slurried screens
i stand (fading pale and blinded
as a frailly miniature grouped out ant ...
