A Single Flame
Heat and light
a solidarity warrior fighting in a world as dark as night
Battling the cold wind
and the temptation of sin
Seeking to manifest my destiny
without falling into the trap of religious zealotry
Sharing the blessings of spirituality
and opposing the self-centered insanity of humanity
A character in search of his Author
who didn't come here by a flying saucer
I will share my insights via my poetry in spite of an occasional drought
until the day my single flame is...
a solidarity warrior fighting in a world as dark as night
Battling the cold wind
and the temptation of sin
Seeking to manifest my destiny
without falling into the trap of religious zealotry

and opposing the self-centered insanity of humanity
A character in search of his Author
who didn't come here by a flying saucer

Epilogue of Rain
The epilogue of the rain
sounds like quelling silence.
A solve unto my pain -
a mystery I cannot solve.
Maybe I am insane -
I have long thought but never said.
because…
being insane was something that always made me proud.
Does that make me insane?
I guess I just didn’t want to be the same
as all those people in the crowd.
I guess I just wanted my silence to be loud
and vanquish the seeds sown
by lying scheming manipulative powers that be
that write the script of you and me
...

Fat Cats
Fat cats, your pockets shouldn't be bulging like that
Clear your minds by giving it all back
Fat cat, how much do you need before it stops making sense
Being broke and needy are no longer your defense
To see the world I climbed atop a garbage heap
There were so many below me screaming for just a peep
From here upon my throne made of trash
I could see the line where our two worlds clashed
The have-nots were rebeling, the illusion was fading fast
The fat cats had depended on an illusion that simply couldn't last
To had watched them...
Clear your minds by giving it all back
Fat cat, how much do you need before it stops making sense
Being broke and needy are no longer your defense
To see the world I climbed atop a garbage heap
There were so many below me screaming for just a peep

The have-nots were rebeling, the illusion was fading fast

No Work Today
He dipped into it
Fast & exciting
She was already way ahead
In the pre-polling
Maybe a scandal
That might dethrone her
Guards! Arrest this man
Have him brought to my chamber
Something was obviously awry
The roles weren’t defrosting
Quite as he hoped
Merely thought-crime at that point
Punishable by death
In some heinous countries
Crimes reflecting cowardice
Penalties the reverse
She sat on my shoulders
Trying to see the parade
Tanks always impressive
Rockets of every size ...

Beginning
I come from a time
When all was dark
The sun up above
Wasn't even a spark
There was those that saw
What couldn't be seen
They possessed an understanding
Of that with no means
They stood on the edge
And took delight
In existence struggle
And evolution's fight
Truth was in it's infancy
A little more than a babe
Hope non existent
Dreams and imagination depraved
They took their time toying with minds
Holding them in the dark
But always looking for a sign
A sign of warmth, maybe...

Tumbling Tower
I'm still watching you make a fool of yourself
Putting skin tone and looks to high on the fucking shelf
The empire is crumbling, I can't make this shit any clearer
The end has arrived, it can't get any nearer
Their hearts have been hardened, they can't see their fucking way
The virus is but one of the broken seals, just as the prophecy says
Genetically altered mosquitoes, fish and frog altered by herbicides
Livestock being fed steroids until children are adults in size
Hitler has been resurrected, now you can see just how he came to power ...
Putting skin tone and looks to high on the fucking shelf
The empire is crumbling, I can't make this shit any clearer

There shall be no poetry here
There shall be no poetry here
If these words masterfully created
Have no target to better someone else life
Offer understanding and healing
Then there shall be no poetry here
If there's no religion of unity
A culture of support
And each one teach one
There shall be no poetry here
If these words scribed on keyboards and screens
Spits on spoken words
Won't be remembered by the impact they deliver,
To break the silence, inspire and empower
If these words don't spark the next flame of a revolution
If they...

Brandishing Your Crown
Accuse me of an ulterior motive
As you falsify innocence
When ignorance is the means
For more damaging mistakes to be made
When your defenses fail
And you see yourself
Who might have known
We’d be more readily identified
By our scars than our fingerprints
Just how unlovely is too unlovely
Before I’ve gone too far
Lost for a life in debt to the grave
When my sins have outgrown the death of me
Am I living on stolen time?
When the consequence we escape
Is all that never finds us out
Surely our...

Consider, The Following
Relay a message
Vanity as an afterthought
Self looks so appealing
After we’ve mishandled the truth
And shot our brothers
In the name of God
Like a new aged crusade
Is the endorsements
The protests of our ridicule
To sell the righteous
In a suit of filth and rags
How the people have brought
Love into question
For the swords we draw
Like self-mutilation of a body
Dismembering Christ
And illustrating struggle
As we sell our tears
Right out of the bottle
Blaming the unseen
You...

Obey
Obey
(Intro):
"Lay in your bed and enjoy the time passing"
"The tank feels so cold it could almost drown out the screaming"
(Chorus 1):
"Get back in line
You hear it all the time when the officer says to"
"I apologise I must've lost my mind cause i crossed it when i met you"
(Verse):
"Everyone must obey"
To keep everybody safe
Know that you're not a slave
Just property of the state
(Bridge):
Im enraged
Locked away ...

We Didn’t Get Stupid Enough
I’m from the South Bay
grew up watching big-titted
blondes in neon bikinis in
Manhattan Beach and
El Segundo
I like alt chicks because
they want what I want:
mutual confusion
trying to convince her to
have 5 kids and move
to the suburbs
I just need a little more
time to figure out
this crypto
shit
I’m down 3 hundo after
investing a G
but, you know, bartering to
cash to credit cards to
crypto
yeah, that sounds cool over
the beat, but on...
