Mediocre Inc.
At what age did you find that mediocre's fine,
In corporate halls where the average thrives?
Playing the game with a heart that's malign,
Ignoring respect for the human lives.
Do just the minimum, meets expectations align,
Why strive for more when the soul rarely jives?
It's all about survival, your mental health's sign,
I'd rather close myself in my shell than live this hell.
In realms where misery loves company well,
I choose my own path, adventures to tell.
No more the facade, no more the corporate spell,
Embracing my...

Spit on mercy seat
Spit covers the street
I try to stay descreet
When people lay next to my feet
Not show my downbeat
Urge to deplete elite
I spit on mercy seat
Covered to decollete
I won't be your forcemeat
Pick bleat over maltreat
Till they drop me to concrete
I try to stay descreet
When people lay next to my feet
Not show my downbeat
Urge to deplete elite
I spit on mercy seat
Covered to decollete
I won't be your forcemeat
Pick bleat over maltreat
Till they drop me to concrete

Pushed Proponents
All the ps, all for me.
All for one, and one for you,
but two times that is time for me.
A second to be wreckless is just right for me.
Told us that but sugar coated.
Hold on twat, so you decode it,
Ill decide if it's tonight when you console with
What if fucking might be, likely pushed proponents.
Shooshed supporters get disposed off.
Your component; told off.
But you told them your whole "all love"
A hole deep enough for their component.
They own you as,
You counsil a users ounce full, they use you...
All for one, and one for you,
but two times that is time for me.
A second to be wreckless is just right for me.
Told us that but sugar coated.

The Proof is in the Pudding*
US politicians are pitching a new dream they make sound so inviting
but, none of them will to give us a warranty for it in writing
We all want to be happy, safe and free
but, that does not come with a money back guarantee
Can it be returned, if with it we are not completely excited
or if it goes badly are they hoping we will be too tried to fight it
The old folks taught me back in the day
“The proof is in the pudding”, they would say
but, none of them will to give us a warranty for it in writing
We all want to be happy, safe and free
but, that does not come with a money back guarantee
Can it be returned, if with it we are not completely excited
or if it goes badly are they hoping we will be too tried to fight it
The old folks taught me back in the day
“The proof is in the pudding”, they would say

Get Real
I've said it before; I'll say it again;
the universe loves a saboteur...
especially if they are white, and men,
who call themselves an entrepreneur
that proceeds to pollute without a hoot
or maybe even brag about the mess
whose cleanup buck got passed, except the loot,
when bosses had the public acquiesce
because that's how fucking stupid they are;
another sucker born every minute
who thinks they'll be the next Hollywood star
if they only shut up, bear, and grin it.
No wonder the rich stay so fucking rich,
when poor folks...
the universe loves a saboteur...
especially if they are white, and men,
who call themselves an entrepreneur
that proceeds to pollute without a hoot
or maybe even brag about the mess
whose cleanup buck got passed, except the loot,
when bosses had the public acquiesce
because that's how fucking stupid they are;
another sucker born every minute
who thinks they'll be the next Hollywood star
if they only shut up, bear, and grin it.

Playing The Card
I can clean up well.
Eat your heart out,
though it’s just a shell.
You don’t have clout
here to use as currency.
I am beyond you.
Stop calling me with urgency.
It wasn’t me who blew
our relationship to smithereens.
I outran your lies
and became a queen.
I no longer cry.

I control you
I'm Jesus Fucking Christ
Bow down to the almighty one
You'll feel better about yourself
You need to be cleansed
Your soul is dirty
Your mind is filthy
You need me
You need something to cling to
You need something to strengthen you
PUNISHMENT!
You love punishment
It makes you feel like you're doing something right
Without constant pain you feel guilty
I know you're weak
You love pain
I know a lot about pain
I use it as a weapon against you
One of my favorite things is to make a man die while he's...
Bow down to the almighty one
You'll feel better about yourself
You need to be cleansed
Your soul is dirty
Your mind is filthy
You need me
You need something to cling to
You need something to strengthen you
PUNISHMENT!
You love punishment
It makes you feel like you're doing something right
Without constant pain you feel guilty
I know you're weak
You love pain

i am not alone, alone
i am
not alone,
alone, there
are some
like me
out there,
they wait,
they watch,
they hope,
each arrive
in the
afternoon,
and before
the light
is slanting,
my mouth
like doors
open,
let me
read you
something,
they let
me speak,
they accept
me with
the softest
care,
my words
float
over them,
and they
act as
trying
to capture
butterflies
while
clapping.

The flag of the red planet
The only flag I want on mars
Is one free of color, One free of scars.
Freed from ego and vanity
And that state of division twixt you and me.
The only flag to be flown off this planet,
should be one without borders and nations goddamnit.
No reds and no whites and no aquamarines…
No flags of control of any regimes.
No border round the craters,
no passport for the stars.
No colors on the only flag
That should be flown on mars.
Is one free of color, One free of scars.
Freed from ego and vanity
And that state of division twixt you and me.
The only flag to be flown off this planet,
should be one without borders and nations goddamnit.
No reds and no whites and no aquamarines…
No flags of control of any regimes.
No border round the craters,
no passport for the stars.
No colors on the only flag
That should be flown on mars.
