kitesong
the willful manipulation of innocent freedom
“A kite is a victim you are sure of. You love it because it pulls
gentle enough to call you master, strong enough to call you fool…”
― Leonard Cohen, The Spice-Box of Earth
tugging me this way
dragging me then that
teaches me not what
terminates your sway
cruel the air i breathe
dangling on your string
here meandering
safety i bequeath
threadbare on the stage
could I find the will
to escape your kill
how i'd flee this cage! ...

Simplicity of self-improvement
How often
do you abandon your societal skins and bury your birthed flesh in wilderness,
give over to wildness and drown all ills upon it?
Perhaps you should, just a thought.

One More for the Road
Tracks up my heart
where i prick myself
with the laudanum
of your promise
to save me
from something
other than your rush
~ heady
this vertigo dream
{lies i tell me}
hope wrapped in
confession
You linger
on my membrane
as i finger tip rub
deep inside
a psychotic obsession
you offer me cum
but tears are sweeter
i did too much,
now i sledge
this harsh comedown
teeth rattle
bones ache,
i can do this
...

Bad influences.
You could call me a serial dater,
Cause I’m on a search to find someone to break me.
Whilst trying to fix them, repeatedly, circulating the same routine.
Trying to fix an unbreakable gene.
I haven’t always been bad,
Just placed myself around bad people.
At first maybe I thought I could help them,
But just turned into the one thing I feared, evil.
Eating the brains of the deceased isn’t always that tasteful.
You don’t control what you see,
And some people were goddam disgraceful.
Like eating the brains of your ex,
And...

My Thoughts on Corruption
Dishonesty of any kind is a corruption
It is not merely in money or in kind
It can be in promptitude
It can be in allegiance
It can be in decision
It can be in alliance
It can be in confidence
It can be in reliance
It can be in abuse of
public property,
position and power
Honesty builds you,
dishonesty destroys you
Honesty forms your strength,
dishonesty infirms you
Honesty is Devine,
dishonesty is evil
Honesty brings you Pride,
dishonesty makes you slave
Be...

Prey
Innocence is the prey
The game of strength begins
Manipulation of the mind
Fueling thoughts
Forbidden sins
A wicked game to play
Innocent eyes glint
No fear resides
Challenging all he knows
Threading
Weaving
The pull is strong
Stripped bare
Falling deeper
Drowning
The hunter is now
Her prey
The game of strength begins
Manipulation of the mind
Fueling thoughts
Forbidden sins
A wicked game to play
Innocent eyes glint
No fear resides
Challenging all he knows
Threading
Weaving
The pull is strong
Stripped bare
Falling deeper
Drowning
The hunter is now
Her prey

A Woman's Reality
A Woman's Reality.
Indoctrination is Destroying our nation.
The challenge we’re facing
Is Killing the female population...
Because of men who claim they're Man
Call that "huMen" nature
Or monstrosity if you may,
It’s no human nature,
because such atrocities
Have tarnished our societies.
Gender Inequality's Just vacuous macho analogy
It has no advantages
But disadvantages Women
To protect male vanity, while proving their lack of sanity.
O! Nurturing hand
How I fear your threatening nature, ...

Insurrection...
Why is it so many
white nationalists...
have trouble maintaining an
insurrection?
Trump is spouting bullshit...undemocratic…

¡The man is batshit crazy!
According to the Ruskies,
...all they have to do...
is find a useful idiot...
...Think on that some…

Who funds these
terrorist organi-
zations?
And why are they
doing it?
Questions for a
higher pay-
grade
Spread the
disease and
messages of
hate under the

virtue
They’ve got you
right where they
want you and
you’re comfortably
simmering with

Creed
Power does not belong to a minority—
even counted together
they could not exceed the majority;
thus, stepping toward Oneness
is impossible without equality. . .
which cannot be measured
amid the absence
of each tribal voice
concerning the direction
of their country—
but, even if present
they would be mute
unless that majority
chose to listen—
better yet. . .
relinquish adequate seating
fulfilling the creed: ...

Stormy Weathers
Calm before the storm
If I was Storm from the X-men then I would asend
Thunder and Lighting for they are my superpowers within
I wouldn't have to pretend or try to blend in with those people and places that try to do me in
When they always think that they're are right but 99 point 9 percent of the time you are wrong stop singing your own praises because the elements of the sky could very well be your own demise
I would control the sun rays, the clouds, the wind, and the rain
I have the Almighty Power and more to gain
