Raytheon
Inapt are men trading brains for muscle;
Too often swapped in the annuls of war
Where force was trained for disciplined hustle
And cold mentation as entropy's whore
To see that the widows were young and fresh
With no flowers of chivalry to bed;
Seemingly forgot was that their brave flesh
Drained as quickly as a coward's when bled.
And thus I challenge the bold and the brave
To fashion something more than tombs en masse
Where fewer cowards who escape the grave
Can chase a piece of liberated ass. ...

And thus I challenge the bold and the brave
To fashion something more than tombs en masse
Where fewer cowards who escape the grave

The True Two Party System
I've been to Greece
England
France
Even Iran
With my friend back in ten
I remember thinking
What the fucks up with American men
Ive had more problems when
I go out
It's almost a fight
Ive calmed with years
But face the same spite
You would think I feel unsafe cause of the men
No
Most
It's the hag faced, youngling, or bitter women
They hit home
Almost every time I'm out
Last time at five guys
An old lady staring with hate as she stuffed mouth
But it's always like...

Evolution
I begin my poem with this verse
we must be the change we seek in the universe
We must stop ourselves and leaders from lying
bc old folks and babies are dying
Less money spent on war
means more for the poor
If America wants to call itself a Christian nation
it must first seek it's own salvation
The answer is not in Right Wing Neo-fascist revolution
but in a spiritual -Evolution

chains
Is life so dear or peace so sweet as to be purchased at the price of chains and
slavery? Forbid it, Almighty God! I know not what course others may take, but
as for me, give me liberty, or give me death!―Patrick Henry
some are metal fetters for your fleet feet
―not a single step for liberty!
night and day, you wallow on defeat street,
yearning for civil mobility.
some are passions that consume your goodwill,
gormandising liberty of wit,
glueing, to your thirst, tastes so untranquil
that, though sate, you know not how to...

Of socks and clocks
The day lies
spread-eagled before me
passive and ready
to bend to my will,
And I sit, impotent,
paralyzed...
Like socks in the dryer,
I'm watching
tumbles and jumbles
of wants and shoulds
cycling through my head,
never settling on a course of action
My mind's eye follows one
for a while
and I've almost decided --
when an abrupt shift of colour and texture
whisks it out of sight,
out of mind...
and they just keep taking turns
flopping around, never settling
as I...

Wave of Rage
This monster
Well fed and overgrown
Stares darkly
A hound near his throne
The stench of fear dissolves
It was threatening my resolve
Driving my blade through
As it rears with reaching claws
Raising the mutts head
One single purpose arose
One thought as eyes lock
Stirs hope that points us home
Where I intend to take him.
Well fed and overgrown
Stares darkly
A hound near his throne
The stench of fear dissolves
It was threatening my resolve
Driving my blade through
As it rears with reaching claws
Raising the mutts head
One single purpose arose
One thought as eyes lock
Stirs hope that points us home
Where I intend to take him.

My Father is Forever
I found my peace in hell,
Done in by dragon’s breath.
Onto my knees I fell,
Into a soulless death.
My father is forever,
Through death and desolation.
For his crying rivers,
A rock of consolation.
Walking in his shadow,
My shoulders stand up straighter.
A path to doing better,
Makes good sooner or later.
The bearing of my burden,
Like talons in my torso,
Gives reason to my rising,
A purpose even more so.
Done in by dragon’s breath.
Onto my knees I fell,
Into a soulless death.
My father is forever,
Through death and desolation.
For his crying rivers,
A rock of consolation.
Walking in his shadow,
My shoulders stand up straighter.
A path to doing better,
Makes good sooner or later.
The bearing of my burden,
Like talons in my torso,
Gives reason to my rising,
A purpose even more so.

The absolute value of material wealth
Your accumulated wealth
is the greatest sign of your karma...
the karma that got you that wealth,
and the karma you get to distribute through others.
is the greatest sign of your karma...

F@ck Paragraph 8*
Nowadays on-line I have to give my consent
even to read the simplest content
Which one of my rights I am signing away I have no clue
but what else can I do
I just want to surf the internet in peace
and with all of these pop ups I wish they would desist and cease
All these corporations are now doing this as their protocol
forced by the legal teams so they don't take a fall
One last thing before it is too late
f@ck all of these entities and their Paragraph 8

If only
If only sound were louder.
I'd then be happy.
Is that why you go out drunk?

DON'T LET RESULTS DISHEARTEN YOU.
DON'T LET RESULTS DISHEARTEN YOU.
Christian faith is ease not anguish.
It reveals a high example.
Jesus shows us how we should be
and behave to be His blessed ones.
He would like us to be warriors,
to defend His creeds and teachings.
He was not afraid of fighting
even when it meant His torture.
He was counting on His Master,
Who conferred on Him great power.
All His gifts could give the spirits
which might not yield instant profits.
Christ could do what was perfection
but if failure bled His forehead, ...
