Leeroy's Burden
The many stand upon the hill,
They watch as the lands burn,
Their homes, Their lives, All they were,
For it is all they can do.
They must stand and hold,
Thus is their duty,
The oaths they bear,
A pain they choose.
For they wait for the time,
The time to march,
The time to fight,
The time to exist.
For such is the Soldier's call,
They burn their lives,
Abandon their homes,
Forsake their hope,
All to serve the ones they leave behind.
They watch as the lands burn,
Their homes, Their lives, All they were,
For it is all they can do.
They must stand and hold,
Thus is their duty,
The oaths they bear,
A pain they choose.
For they wait for the time,
The time to march,
The time to fight,
The time to exist.
For such is the Soldier's call,
They burn their lives,
Abandon their homes,
Forsake their hope,
All to serve the ones they leave behind.

Elon Musk Can Suck My Dick
The crumbling empire
Won’t stand
Much longer
The fortress walls
Are breaking, oh
So much faster
to you propagators
breeding lies
among blind eyes
keep pushing bullshit
keep having your fits
to succumb
to your master
OH...
ELON
you weak little insignificant delusional bitch
think you're important yet
you're just a little BITCH
I wave good-BYE
We do not need you
we recognize your nothingness
We wave good-BYE
Everyone is aware
of your bullshit ...
Won’t stand
Much longer
The fortress walls
Are breaking, oh
So much faster
to you propagators
breeding lies
among blind eyes
keep pushing bullshit
keep having your fits
to succumb
to your master
OH...
ELON
you weak little insignificant delusional bitch
think you're important yet
you're just a little BITCH
I wave good-BYE
We do not need you
we recognize your nothingness
We wave good-BYE
Everyone is aware
of your bullshit ...

I still love you
You left me, but I still stay by you,
You slapped me, yet I reach for your hand too.
You never said you loved me, it’s true,
But still, in my heart, I whisper I love you.
You called me names, yet I laugh it away,
In shadows of hope, I choose to stay.
You never call for me, that's how it may be,
Yet I write you my words, in silence, you see.
You slapped me, yet I reach for your hand too.
You never said you loved me, it’s true,
But still, in my heart, I whisper I love you.
You called me names, yet I laugh it away,
In shadows of hope, I choose to stay.
You never call for me, that's how it may be,
Yet I write you my words, in silence, you see.

The Net
Majestically spanning San Francisco and Sausalito
stands one of the world's most famous landmarks
and one of the world's most utilized final stops
Who are these infrequent flyers?
These sad and lonely diers?
Students
Teachers (believe me, I get it)
the jilted, the lonely, the ill
so many reasons
always one less
than reasons to live
Recently, a safety net was added
285 feet in the sky
Taxpayers are arguing about it
It's a concept they just don't get
calling it a waste of their money
to save just...

Shed
A man is strong
A man is self reliant
A man is dutiful
Torn with pride in their comfort
He fights scarcity and darkness that surround them.
Alone and vigilant
While they peacefully slumber
Judging his own contempt
Longing for tenderness
A man is self reliant
A man is dutiful
Torn with pride in their comfort
He fights scarcity and darkness that surround them.
Alone and vigilant
While they peacefully slumber
Judging his own contempt
Longing for tenderness

Sword from the stone
I gave my all
But I still could not pull the sword from the stone.
I know you put all your eggs on me
Made me your Moses and expected me to part the seas
Gave me the torch to carry your dream
In me you had hope
In me you gave your all
Despite all my faults.
And I tried and gave it my all.
But I still could not pull the sword from the stone.
Is it my lack of strength
Or the heaviness of my heart?
Is it my failures?
Or my lack of wisdom?
The sea stands before us,
and the wolves are...
But I still could not pull the sword from the stone.
I know you put all your eggs on me
Made me your Moses and expected me to part the seas
Gave me the torch to carry your dream
In me you had hope
In me you gave your all
Despite all my faults.
And I tried and gave it my all.
But I still could not pull the sword from the stone.
Is it my lack of strength
Or the heaviness of my heart?
Is it my failures?
Or my lack of wisdom?
The sea stands before us,
and the wolves are...

Uncle Scam
All he did was make lots of threats
and still he got the votes
from white folks with bajillion frets
stoked by kazillion gloats.
They were the smash mouth runagates
who mostly had it good,
except for all their mental states;
as brittle as dead wood...
where moral muscle had been found,
perhaps when they were six,
but now their morals are unsound
all due to MAGA tricks.
The kind that turns a decent kid
into a raging troll,
like the kind who flips his lid...
when Bishops show some soul.
and still he got the votes

Disapointment
They say when you wish upon a star
Makes no difference who you are
I beg to differ and insist upon thee
Anything my heart desire will not come to me
These stellar entities are out of wishes
Overworked and burnt out the galaxy glitches
Fate is kind, the song goes
She brings to those who love
The sweet fulfillment of
Their secret longing
Well I've lived long enough to know that is not true
Spent most of my adult life longing for You
Prayed you'd come to no avail
Wishes, love and effort to just see it fail
...

A Drifter’s Screaming Silence
What have we done to the world?
It’s a carcass now, rotting under the weight of wallets,
and the vultures are us, picking at the scraps,
laughing with mouths full of blood and lies.
Love? Don’t make me laugh.
Love is a transaction,
a handshake in the dark,
a hollow promise sealed with a kiss
that tastes like rust.
It’s a glittered-up lie,
sold in the backrooms of broken hearts.
And the girls—God, the girls—
their youth melts like ice under streetlights.
They trade their innocence for tequila shots,
for a fistful...

Feed it to the fire.
Shake off all the dead wood,
Chuck it on the fire,
As the wind blows stronger,
The flames climb ever higher.
It’s a mystery that we claim,
When we come into this world,
When we put upon our name,
And learn to shape its words.
All troubles are the allies,
Of the spirits we rely on,
That rough edges do us favours,
That there’s little use denying.
It’s a mystery we accept,
When we’re pulled between the worlds,
When we’re struck by flailing limbs,
With whipping stings, we learn.
Shake off all...
Chuck it on the fire,
As the wind blows stronger,
The flames climb ever higher.
It’s a mystery that we claim,
When we come into this world,
When we put upon our name,
And learn to shape its words.
All troubles are the allies,
Of the spirits we rely on,
That rough edges do us favours,
That there’s little use denying.
It’s a mystery we accept,
When we’re pulled between the worlds,
When we’re struck by flailing limbs,
With whipping stings, we learn.
Shake off all...

Serenity
It's the calm,
before the bomb.
Excuse me madam,
I'm looking for Adam.
I've come a mighty long way,
But I've something to say!
Been searching for serenity....
Seems I can't afford the amenity.
It'll be three score, & ten years, that I've been in this body....
Would it be wrong, to say the foundation laid, was
somewhat shoddy?
Tell me, could you help me find Eve....
I think we need a reprieve.
It's only the mild,
Before the wild.
Excuse me sis,
I think something's amiss.
I have to take this...
before the bomb.
Excuse me madam,
I'm looking for Adam.
I've come a mighty long way,
But I've something to say!
Been searching for serenity....
Seems I can't afford the amenity.
It'll be three score, & ten years, that I've been in this body....
Would it be wrong, to say the foundation laid, was
somewhat shoddy?
Tell me, could you help me find Eve....
I think we need a reprieve.
It's only the mild,
Before the wild.
Excuse me sis,
I think something's amiss.
I have to take this...

The things we need to do
These are the things we need to do in America:
Stop working for and buying from evil- this will take what some might call sacrifice, but we might call responsibility. Affecting bank accounts and profits is the only way to change some minds.
Start working for, buying from, and otherwise contributing to your community in as many ways as you can: volunteer, donate, bake and give locally and directly. Remove government, beaurocrocy and waste from what you give to and take from others.
Violence might help the process, but cannot stabilize us afterwards.
