WHAT IS THE POINT OF IT ALL
What is the point of all of this nonsense, that we have to learn to deal with time and time again. 😞 YET things are more worser, than they ever have been, in the world of today. But yet they tell you it's gonna get better by telling us more, lies with propaganda to cover up the lies. yet nothing has really change the very Dynamics of the suffering. Which causes your misery of the deepness of your own hurt and pain. For sure we need to ask thyself is this the kind of world, 🌎 that you want your own children's to live with and be apart of there life. 🤔 For even as I sit...

Wounds not Seen
Wounds Not seen
The wounds no one sees
In a bunker shaking and shivering
Hear the blast that will change me forever
Wake up in a hospital coming out of a coma
I’m groggy but it’s becoming clear
That I am not the same person
Before I signed up for this
And I have kids and a dog
Out of the fog of war I realize I’m still here
But I’m half a person lost my shoulder and arm
And cut at the knees
So I get back home and I tease my kids
Get my tennis shoes so I can run with you
On a...

Government is a Scam
Government is a sanctioned shell game that lets contributing and controlling businesses make gobs of money out the wazoo while sticking "it" deep into me and you
Well Damn It's a Scam
Whether by truck, plane, or tram
Do crime against Big Business
And with Fed Tyme you'll be slammed
Reagan "fired" striking air traffic controllers
Canada's Prime Minister "intervened" against the railroad workers
Biden "took an interest" and "offered assistance" for Teamsters and rail workers to find resolution...

Man on the Street
Swallowed whole like Jonah
I reside in the guts of this
Beast, I can feel the heat of
its heart beat.
I can see the distension
in trembling and quivering
insides as I move around
on my feet.
I walk beside choked arteries
and down various tubes,
hanging gardens somewhere above
but here just waste and ooze.
I find a quiet cavity
and curl up on some bony surface
to snooze
but I don't get much sleep.
I reside in the guts of this
Beast, I can feel the heat of
its heart beat.
I can see the distension

insides as I move around

hanging gardens somewhere above
but here just waste and ooze.
I find a quiet cavity
and curl up on some bony surface
to snooze
but I don't get much sleep.

Power-Trip
Fragile souls remain terrified here
In a world that spits them out
While the reason isn't quite clear
Growing numb with serious doubt
Compromise thrown off the table
When greed is in constant play
Force fed another curious fable
Savage beings formed from clay
Persistence fueled by acceptance
Sinners living on borrowed time
No redemption without repentance
Choreographed in old pantomime
Secret meeting behind the door
Wealthy men bonding in hatred
Carving flesh on the killing floor
For the power they...

Perpetual Agony
The point of your sword
Rests gently against the hollow base
Of my throat
After an eternity of quarrel and defeat
Domination and submission
Sex and brutality
The cycle is everlasting
Yet somehow you have managed
To discover the heinous act
Of destroying your greatest friend
Your faithful lover
Your compassionate kin
Your worst enemy;
We have gone through all that we did
For a sadistic victory;
One that was never fought for, or won;
But stolen
You cheated Fate...
Rests gently against the hollow base
Of my throat
After an eternity of quarrel and defeat
Domination and submission
Sex and brutality
The cycle is everlasting
Yet somehow you have managed
To discover the heinous act
Of destroying your greatest friend
Your faithful lover
Your compassionate kin
Your worst enemy;
We have gone through all that we did
For a sadistic victory;
One that was never fought for, or won;
But stolen

Donny Boy
Oh, Donny boy the polls the polls are falling
From Red State to Blue they continue to slide
For you to drop out of the race people were calling
before your runaway train of lies goes off a mountain side
At one time in the Presidential race you were ahead
But, now your campaign is on it's death bed
At the debate you doubled down on your bets
and Yelled "They're eating your pets"
The Moderators did a real time fact check
So, your next job will be to rearrange chairs of the Titanic's main deck ...

Rat poison
Learn what makes me look down
Watch how my smile dies
Who are these men with alien eyes
Snaps like a crocodile I don't know their triggers
Hate me as you see in me three of hers
Facade to your friends, talk about girls like restaurants
Familiar guts, poison on your meat, rest you rats
I see for who you are, I feel the hell's heat
Grin to some, but for me to show your teeth
Watch how my smile dies
Who are these men with alien eyes
Snaps like a crocodile I don't know their triggers
Hate me as you see in me three of hers
Facade to your friends, talk about girls like restaurants
Familiar guts, poison on your meat, rest you rats
I see for who you are, I feel the hell's heat
Grin to some, but for me to show your teeth

It's All Because Of You!
If what I say alienates you
That only means you're alien to me
You & your fragile reality
Your mild dissatisfaction
Your artificial subtlety
I love the way you look at me
Your well rehearsed disbelief
You think I made all this up?
You must be out of your mind
I never had an original thought in my life
I got it all from you
I owe it all to you
You walk outside & close your eyes
The truth hurts when it catches up and bites you on the throat
Nothing will incinerate this vision
Nothing will stop this train
That only means you're alien to me
You & your fragile reality
Your mild dissatisfaction
Your artificial subtlety
I love the way you look at me
Your well rehearsed disbelief
You think I made all this up?
You must be out of your mind
I never had an original thought in my life
I got it all from you
I owe it all to you
You walk outside & close your eyes
The truth hurts when it catches up and bites you on the throat
Nothing will incinerate this vision
Nothing will stop this train

Kamala
Her name is not Pamela or Cam-a-la
it is pronounced Comma-la
She is the blooming Lotus flower of our fair state
and for me that fact is not up for debate
A woman with a winning million-dollar smile
who wears pearls as an homage to classic female style
As fierce as any Lioness at defending her Pride
and the reason why Kavanaugh cried
Her grilling of Barr proved he is unfit
and he was forced to quit
The first woman, Black and South Asian, to be a President
and I can’t wait for her victory in the main event
it is pronounced Comma-la
She is the blooming Lotus flower of our fair state
and for me that fact is not up for debate
A woman with a winning million-dollar smile
who wears pearls as an homage to classic female style
As fierce as any Lioness at defending her Pride
and the reason why Kavanaugh cried
Her grilling of Barr proved he is unfit
and he was forced to quit
The first woman, Black and South Asian, to be a President
and I can’t wait for her victory in the main event

Profits of Pain and War
I will tell you that their wise,
and the facts that they analyze
They know...your situation
Their gonna tell you on what's gonna come,
and how certain things will be done
There your.... salvation
I'll tell you when that day comes,
you will learn how to load a gun
And they say... you got to be a man
You may not like it when they hand you a gun,
before you turn 21
Your just a number...with sorrow
These boys don't know what's in store,
these are the prophets of pain and war
...

Powerflux
Miles and miles of road just to get home.
I can't justify it, it would be wrong.
But there is a place so far away where my heart belongs.
Walk through the trees.
Look to the sky.
I feel the breeze.
I feel my life.
Oh, well, silence overtook me.
I have freedom to be free.
This is the only life I live for.
The only God I believe.
Bring hope back to me.
There's a place so far away.
Bring hope back to me.
Give me what I seek.
Kiss me on the cheek.
Live me, live a freak. ...
