The Violence Continues
She had enough. Many times her father would could home staggering drunk, and force himself onto her. He didn't care. He had no regret when he would sober up. Her mother knew that if she ever said a word she'd be beaten & thrown out into the streets. She cared about her own hide and not her own flesh & blood. She came into this marriage with nothing and will leave the marriage with nothing.
Her daughter is now dependent on drugs. Any drugs to release her from this horror. Pills, heroin, meth, alcohol, anything to get her fucked up and to drown these memories.

~convoluted dark depths:: the swallowing gallows
rusted nibs
of this bloodied
pen.. breaks in that
decisive split second..
(a
ray of hope dawns
from it’s parted away
abrupt clucking splits
.. as an umbilical
home connect..
yet gotten cut off
for that lighted
chapter .. if not an
illumine.. )
..s e n t e n c e d
.
are only those
the so - system’s
scapegoats.. those
from their pleading
eyes of innocence..
breaks free..
from
the mindlessly
let loose volatility ...
of this bloodied
pen.. breaks in that
decisive split second..

Sequestered Heart
I have desires
Not unlike yours
Fever
Temptation
Outlaw
Fringe
Taking you prisoner
Sequestered heart
Bound to the bed post
To be used
You'll never be free
Prayers answered
Not unlike yours
Fever
Temptation
Outlaw
Fringe
Taking you prisoner
Sequestered heart
Bound to the bed post
To be used
You'll never be free
Prayers answered

#Prisoner#
i am a prisoner
of my mind who
craves control
over my soul
& my thoughts
Over my belly
i let her in gave
her a home of
which She is
now the owner
it's lonely here
cold & hopeless
She won't let me
listen to my needs
won't give me the
proper nutrients
i'm stuck in this
prison and i can't
seem to break free
am i sentenced to life?
of my mind who
craves control
over my soul
& my thoughts
Over my belly
i let her in gave
her a home of
which She is
now the owner
it's lonely here
cold & hopeless
She won't let me
listen to my needs
won't give me the
proper nutrients
i'm stuck in this
prison and i can't
seem to break free
am i sentenced to life?

Lichen Thallus
Apply the federation.
Allow a congregation.
Lose your mind to sedation.
Lose your kool; aid the plantation.
Planted in a vase.
No roots for me to trace.
No more individual face.
Just people losing the race.
A spore developing.
A hive of demons loudly sing.
Attract the greater being.
To destroy the weakest thinking.
A tree that only lies.
A mistletoe leeches the wise.
Time to prune the parasites.
Assassin's have a lonely plight.
Allow a congregation.
Lose your mind to sedation.
Lose your kool; aid the plantation.
Planted in a vase.
No roots for me to trace.
No more individual face.
Just people losing the race.
A spore developing.
A hive of demons loudly sing.
Attract the greater being.
To destroy the weakest thinking.
A tree that only lies.
A mistletoe leeches the wise.
Time to prune the parasites.
Assassin's have a lonely plight.

Coaching Coursing
Lots of leadership, little joy,
in the trenches of bureaucracy.
Forced smiles, empty looks,
in a sea of orders, lost dreams.
Endless meetings,
unrealistic goals,
constant pressure,
brutal burdens.
Where did the lightness
of being go?
Between spreadsheets,
no one can see.
Hours and hours
for no reason,
Walls echoe with frustration.
Creativity under lock and key.
The soul cries for freedom.
Forgotten in a dark corner,
talents are lost on the wall.
Bosses...
in the trenches of bureaucracy.
Forced smiles, empty looks,
in a sea of orders, lost dreams.
Endless meetings,
unrealistic goals,
constant pressure,
brutal burdens.
Where did the lightness
of being go?
Between spreadsheets,
no one can see.
Hours and hours
for no reason,
Walls echoe with frustration.
Creativity under lock and key.
The soul cries for freedom.
Forgotten in a dark corner,
talents are lost on the wall.
Bosses...

Imprisoned by Lies
An innocent man behind bars is free in his heart
Even when the law has failed him
While a guilty man will always be on the run
Whether he knows it or not
It will eat away at his soul
The same could be said for those who have fallen
Having believed lies
They will embrace it and live in it
And not for one single minute they will open their eyes
Reality is too harsh for some
It is a prison cast upon the hearts of many
Who think they know the truth and will fight for it
Unable to perceive the sinister designs with them...
Even when the law has failed him
While a guilty man will always be on the run
Whether he knows it or not
It will eat away at his soul
The same could be said for those who have fallen
Having believed lies
They will embrace it and live in it
And not for one single minute they will open their eyes
Reality is too harsh for some
It is a prison cast upon the hearts of many
Who think they know the truth and will fight for it
Unable to perceive the sinister designs with them...

Drink the Koolaid
The silence of sheep appalls me
Walking on either side of me
How many of you took the jab
And how many times, how many
We don't talk about that
Pretending to walk in a cloud of unknowing
The people who forced sick elderly to stay in old folks homes
To pad the numbers, they needed deaths
Deaths gave reason to treachery
Whose only true reason was basest tyranny
How did you like your masks
Did you keep those souvenirs
Learning how to obediently distance
Simon says, "Jump!"
Did you just jump or did you ask...
Walking on either side of me
How many of you took the jab
And how many times, how many
We don't talk about that
Pretending to walk in a cloud of unknowing
The people who forced sick elderly to stay in old folks homes
To pad the numbers, they needed deaths
Deaths gave reason to treachery
Whose only true reason was basest tyranny
How did you like your masks
Did you keep those souvenirs
Learning how to obediently distance
Simon says, "Jump!"
Did you just jump or did you ask...

wall
I have imprisoned the walls of my house
She wants to breathe, she wants to kiss the winds
I have decorated it with various colors but
Still she keeps looking at me day n night with her colorless face
She embraces the soil, she kisses the silent shadow
When I go to hug her, she remains standing straight
she is standing for me, she is surrounded by me
She wants to bathe in the clouds, she wants to be away from me
She has grown old and her bones often broken.
When I fix it, she peeks even through the cracks
She wants to breathe, she wants to kiss the winds
I have decorated it with various colors but
Still she keeps looking at me day n night with her colorless face
She embraces the soil, she kisses the silent shadow
When I go to hug her, she remains standing straight
she is standing for me, she is surrounded by me
She wants to bathe in the clouds, she wants to be away from me
She has grown old and her bones often broken.
When I fix it, she peeks even through the cracks

The Russian Cartel (Chapter One)
FBI HEADQUARTERS
Criminal, Cyber, Response, and Services Branch Department
New York, New York
Early Morning Briefing
“Okay ladies and gentlemen, I need everyone to listen up and pay close attention, this briefing will get underway momentarily.”
Marcus lifted his laser pointer.
“Director Modarius, this is the second briefing within a week.”
Marcus placed his laser pointer back down on the podium; he rested his forearms on the wooden stand and leaned his upper torso forward.

Run Joe Run
believe it
you gone and done it
you got to run, Joe
but
what's chasing you
your conscience
or your sins
how do you run, Joe
when you're in deep
it wasn't right
to snuff her light
no it wasn't at all
what's that, Joe
she took your money
and your little baby
send them to her mama
she whored herself
to feed baby blue
but the knife
was in your hands
and she fell on it
who you kidding, Joe
you should've taken baby blue
and ran
you're done ...
you gone and done it
you got to run, Joe
but
what's chasing you
your conscience
or your sins
how do you run, Joe
when you're in deep
it wasn't right
to snuff her light
no it wasn't at all
what's that, Joe
she took your money
and your little baby
send them to her mama
she whored herself
to feed baby blue
but the knife
was in your hands
and she fell on it
who you kidding, Joe
you should've taken baby blue
and ran
you're done ...
