Ponder a Box
What lies within the box, unseen,
a token lost, a thought pristine?
Or merely air, a void serene?
Does it hold time, a clock unwound,
a moment trapped, a silence found?
Or echoes lost where none astound?
Could it be dreams of lives once led,
flickering ghosts a life long dead?
Or hopes unwoven, stitched with thread?
Might it contain the stars of yore.
The cosmos bound behind this door?
Infinity within its core?
Or is it but the simplest guise,
a trick played out before our eyes?...
a token lost, a thought pristine?
Or merely air, a void serene?
Does it hold time, a clock unwound,

Or echoes lost where none astound?
Could it be dreams of lives once led,

Or hopes unwoven, stitched with thread?
Might it contain the stars of yore.
The cosmos bound behind this door?
Infinity within its core?
Or is it but the simplest guise,

~the puppeteer
gathering all threads inner
the dried up emery palms
..he makes a clumped up
mane ..shortly stuck well
only to be left to a calculated
fall from heights.. to a farther
dissipating apart bitter polar
factions
-only he the f*cked up master
knows the wickedly prewritten
so destiny of each of them.. that
are in a designed egoistical clash
amongst themselves.& not the
so f* cking god of a monster, a
master.. so, coming back
to these truly non-fictional
puppets being...

furious you might be doubting
you pause
to consider how best to respond
and before you have your moment to speak
is
gone
off their heads they
have
to just carry on shouting ..

Resistance
Resistance
When the day runs blue
And you wish the night would pass onto
It seems the world has turned upside down
Lost friends that can not be found
You try to find the ground balance is not sound
No where to turn to your spirit just dimmer
All our hopes and dreams seem to flicker
But that’s when the will to live starts to kick in
We must stand our ground find our sounds
Resistance is not a privilege it’s here and now
When the day runs blue
And you wish the night would pass onto
It seems the world has turned upside down
Lost friends that can not be found
You try to find the ground balance is not sound
No where to turn to your spirit just dimmer
All our hopes and dreams seem to flicker
But that’s when the will to live starts to kick in
We must stand our ground find our sounds
Resistance is not a privilege it’s here and now

prodigal son
beneath the molten surface
where shadows reign
I slipped thru brick and brimstone
when the devil stepped away
no plans for rebellion
just mayhem and mischief
sweet and fleetin
his scepter caught my eye
I claimed it as my right
the succubi recognized me
eyes darkenin with memory
bodies archin in welcome
to my inevitable return
“the prodigal son” I announced myself
sprawled across his throne
legs spread wide
reclaimin familiar territory
demons bowed with practiced ease
whisperin...

Wake The f**k Up!
This democracy is so full of hypocrisy
The digital age spawned a cesspool of degeneracy
Repeating the cycle of stupidity
Taking a shit on our civil liberties
Divide the blind from those who see
They infect this nation with ideas of freedom
A false reality is what they give us
In their promise to "save" us
Terrorist-tic tactics feed the machine
We are all just slaves to corrupted authority
The CIA and the DEA burned the constitution of the USA
While Politicians in DC are never locked away

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

We can go around it

Devour his flesh

cannibalize it!

with a full mouth of
the aboriginal's nudity

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..
