Deviant
I'm deviant
So goddamn deviant
I'm deviant
You have a problem with that?
I've always felt this in my heart
It's deep within my soul
Most of you will never know me
Long enough as I grow old
Parents told me from the start
Heard the same shit in school
So much of it through the years
Damn right I believe it's true
Can't stop being restless & curious
Buried in my gut you see
I'll never ever listened to you
As a child or when I turn 93
You know what kind of crowd
I hang...

Rising Up
the world today
is a mess, life is
crazy & people
can be selfish
this is the time
to get our power
back, say stop to
those politicians
your brain is too
slow, the cracks
in your smile are
beginning to show
time you should go
those lyrics are so
empowering epic
fuckitude boost
sing it with other
Archive admirers
is freaking mighty
to be at a venue
cheering yelling
fuck you anyway
chanting 'fuck you'
is not...

watch your six...
I'm not much
...at first glance
quiet
plain Jane
just a house mouse
past my youth
so they ignore me
look right past...
counting me out of the fight
...fools
let me tell you
what this disregarded observer sees
while they're overlooking little ol' me
knowledge is power...
so they stunt our education
making it easier to spoon feed the masses
lies they've disguised as reality
pap with no actual nutrients
the sheep will eat it up
& ask for seconds
they view diversity... ...

Pandora's box
Here we are in a new wave of massive execution of the wrong, doing of all these government agents mind games, to fool the Americans people's in to believing that they have our best interest at heart. Yet beneath the spider 🕸️ webs lays corruption and greed for MONEY 💰 AND POWER. FOR SURE A CHANGE is happening within the deep SOUTH of the government, for it's true as you see and hear mass lay off told to the workers not to return back to work. But yet we see the resistance of those who were supposed to be in charge. For sure we as Americans deserve to know, where is the...

The I.C.E. Man Cometh*
I am not talking about Jerry Butler’s song
but the real fear illegal aliens face all day long
Hanging over them like the sword of Damocles is the threat of deportation
from our ungrateful nation
Because of Racial indifference as in O’Neil’s play
which is our “reality” here in America today
The System uses the law to mask hate
and to slow down the USA’s eventual fate
Because come 2040 the US will no longer have a White majority
and the tables will turn in favor of the current POC minority
With the end of...

Apollonian Opulence
Lethargic struggle of the everyday
The daemon writ now pact
Ascension through the left handed way
Mortal dichotomy for celestial fact
Seventh tower raised and appeased
Three fold silence in Enoch's hand
Resplendence upon sacred release
Sigils drawn upon blessed sands
Gaping maw of darkness's reign
Heralding the blessed sounds
Gilded light breaking the chains
Of which shadow gives holy ground
Radiant stillness bound yet free
Golden ratios...

A triad of landscapes
While I can't draw maps,
let's imagine an alternate world where
Paraguay, Angola and Romania share borders.
Picture a landmass reshaped
by a mystical force, bringing together
diverse landscapes and cultures.
Angola's western coastline,
with its rich African heritage,
now meets the vibrant heart
of South America's Paraguay.
Together, they are connected
to Romania, bringing in the charm
of Eastern Europe.
This fictional world creates
a tapestry of unique traditions,
languages and histories...

An Ode to Stonehenge
In an age a long time ago was built this circle of hell
Here they stand stone next to stone, nobody knows their true power
This was a place where magicians work
On an altar they practiced their cult
With the power of words, they changed the four elements
Fire - Water - Air and Earth - defeated me and be my slave
See my hands and feel the strength - obey my might, obey my will
No one knows what it really can be, also today the legend still lives
They are only signs of a time, where other laws exist on this earth
In the south of England...
Here they stand stone next to stone, nobody knows their true power
This was a place where magicians work

See my hands and feel the strength - obey my might, obey my will
No one knows what it really can be, also today the legend still lives
They are only signs of a time, where other laws exist on this earth

Vainglorious
Touched by time, life feels moved
Grooves form on the blightless skin
It's strong and firm but not improved
Yet in the scars there can be found kin
It was tried yet craving for more
Through the suspicions unjustified
That something wicked has come to bore
A hole in the crevices of its hide
But in the wake of the storm
The slaughter soon took form
A soul stripped of its sacred hold
And it trips, it kneels, ready to fold
No illness came to bring it low
But mere vainglorious pride
From inward sprung the blow ...
Grooves form on the blightless skin
It's strong and firm but not improved
Yet in the scars there can be found kin
It was tried yet craving for more
Through the suspicions unjustified
That something wicked has come to bore
A hole in the crevices of its hide
But in the wake of the storm
The slaughter soon took form
A soul stripped of its sacred hold
And it trips, it kneels, ready to fold
No illness came to bring it low
But mere vainglorious pride

Eyes
When televisions first became household objects,
some people were scared to undress in front of them,
the convex and glaucomic eye staring,
pervert cyclops, invader in the living room.
These days of course the eyes are much smaller,
rectangular, and with us at all times, not just
when mother’s home with fish-and-chips to eat before
a black-and-white broadcast. Eyes follow us about.
When I was young and gay, and gay, the unrestricted
internet reached out with slimy hands and claimed
a lot of naive boys and girls, the eyes ...
