unzipped lips
I'm still getting used to this
releasing thoughts freely & without pause
I let them blow
& the old me reaches up
tickling the back of my mind
are you sure you didn't just overstep?
but then I remember...
overstepping is how we get out of the box
& I'm tired of being crated & labeled
harmless
so I let 'er rip
giving voice to what's always been present
scratching like sandpaper of coarse grit
burning my imprisoning throat
begging to get out
I've always had a lot to say
just too...

Taking Over
A new force has risen. The good old days are done
We reinvent this system. A new age has begun
Alliance of disappointed members who have now conjoined
We share the same disgusts. It's time to feel our wrath
We'll knock you out in one breath
It's our turn to converge
The world needs to be cleansed of all the putrid noise
This pursuit that we chase, the fight is our life choice
Our honor should not be mocked. We're justified to protect it
Try and you will get fucked and you shall feel our wrath
We'll take you down in one breath
It's...

Tropical Paradises
The aboriginal
is naked…
Ah! Oh!
We can see it
from north to south.
We can go around it
in a deep blue sky.
Devour his flesh
with gluttony.
cannibalize it!
cannibalize it!
Let's be quiet
let's do silence
with a full mouth of
the aboriginal's nudity
and our sour grapes.
Let's canibalize!
is naked…
Ah! Oh!
We can see it
from north to south.
We can go around it
in a deep blue sky.
Devour his flesh
with gluttony.
cannibalize it!
cannibalize it!
Let's be quiet
let's do silence
with a full mouth of
the aboriginal's nudity
and our sour grapes.
Let's canibalize!

Watch and see
I'll end the war in Ukraine
within the first 24 hours
if elected president
Trump said
Day 21:
Russian troops push
toward Pokrovsk
as we speak
Trump remains silent
far too busy raging war
on our democracy
to maintain control:
commuting his militia
—J6 insurrectionists—
who'll beat police officers
and the national guard,
replacing qualified personnel
with predators and drunks
he deems loyalists,
cancelling health research
education...

~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..

Glitch
Toep, the drow, with eyes like midnight,
wanders smlaer where swodahs peerc
in his grasp, taolfa a secret tight
guarding mysteries in the ecnelis deeps.
He traverses smaerd, a phantom's guide,
in the labyrinth of the dnim's design,
carrying taolfa, where samgine hide,
in the dnim, where worlds eniwtne.
Whispering through the sliev of thought...
Toep, the keeper of smlaer neesnu.
In his presence, reality is wrought,
a dance of swodahs, where truth has neeb.
wanders smlaer where swodahs peerc
in his grasp, taolfa a secret tight
guarding mysteries in the ecnelis deeps.
He traverses smaerd, a phantom's guide,
in the labyrinth of the dnim's design,
carrying taolfa, where samgine hide,
in the dnim, where worlds eniwtne.
Whispering through the sliev of thought...
Toep, the keeper of smlaer neesnu.
In his presence, reality is wrought,
a dance of swodahs, where truth has neeb.

Insurrection won
In the peoples house tonight
How do I tell my kids exactly
What we’ve lost
My son is…8 years old
Don’t want him to know…
But he knows
The capital was rushed
In the name of a
False god
A man of lies
And lies and lies again
And lies and lies again
Wraps himself in the flag
But his thugs
Turned that thin blue line
Into a spear
1/6/21
Will live in infamy
Let me say that again
1/6/21
Will live in infamy ...

Defected Life
Why doesn't it ever end?
Some people are rich
So many are poor
Some live in peace
Some live within a war
What are the reasons
For all the madness
What are the reasons
For human pain & suffering
Some people are obese
Others are frail
Some die due to starvation
Others eat like whales
Is there a paradise?
Is there another side?
Or is there just a grave?
Where your body will eternally lie?
Ignore the speeches that brainwash you
Reality shows us a world of conflict &...

~defenseless
in the heart of auburn equatorial sun
drumming wild with wet thunderbeats
of shrinking craniums & surfacing
uraniums- with winking tricky glints
of golden diamonds, busy feeding
the bloodied cartels
where also the social bonobos
still thrive in the feminine reigns
enriched by the gushing wide
riverine Congo & the falling high
Zongo in sand~ slurried screens
i stand (fading pale and blinded
as a frailly miniature grouped out ant ...

Privatization & Deregulation Ruined NYC
NYC doesn't have alligators but it does have moats, that at one time protected the downtown subculture.
This kept away the jocks, yuppies, normal people and other intruders.
By the late 1990's, crime subsided and the real estate developers magically made the hood livable.
NYC was losing it's soul.
By the time the new millennium was near, the real estate boom forever transformed the city's styles & attitudes.
The oddities lost their frontier
Some rolled with these changes, others left the city and some reminisced about the "Good old days". ...

Chains of Freedom
Hold up
Don’t talk
Or the grim reaper will steal your voice.
Words turn weapons stripped of choice
Next you're in cuffs
Bound and subdued
Dragged to halls where fairness is skewed.
“Arise my Lord” the bailiff calls
But justice has crumbled within those walls.
Judged for truths you dared to say
Now silenced tossed like waste-away.
In the jungle of law where power preys
Your rights dissolve in a smoky haze.
In the heart of the city beneath neon lights
Lies Mide a dreamer who fought for rights.
He raised his...
