Transatlantic Tears
Can you hear the bongos thumping in the far away distance?
Coming from the Congo; transmitting sounds of resistance
Gotta listen attentively cause you'll only faintly hear
Until you steer your vessels closer; up & away from here
Transatlantic tears over the years have made them mute
Now the masses are more focused on trying to be cute
Cutting the strings of parachutes; deciding just to free fall
Instead of reaching out to touch someone, we now reject the call
The movements have stalled; playing football is more important ...
Coming from the Congo; transmitting sounds of resistance
Gotta listen attentively cause you'll only faintly hear
Until you steer your vessels closer; up & away from here
Transatlantic tears over the years have made them mute
Now the masses are more focused on trying to be cute
Cutting the strings of parachutes; deciding just to free fall
Instead of reaching out to touch someone, we now reject the call
The movements have stalled; playing football is more important ...

Oh Liffey
Oh Liffey, Oh Liffey
Do you remember the long gone?
Do their reflections still burn
in the waters that bombed?
Or did they just sail away
Just happy to move on?
Remember the fallen
Because the Liffey rolls on
Do the drums hard beat
red ripple your shores?
Does the parade remind you
Of the damage before?
Steady and ready
You helped them to shores
Oh Liffey Oh Liffey
Roll on don't roll here no more
The salt from your wind
Breathes sin...
Do you remember the long gone?
Do their reflections still burn
in the waters that bombed?
Or did they just sail away
Just happy to move on?
Remember the fallen
Because the Liffey rolls on
Do the drums hard beat
red ripple your shores?
Does the parade remind you
Of the damage before?
Steady and ready
You helped them to shores
Oh Liffey Oh Liffey
Roll on don't roll here no more
The salt from your wind
Breathes sin...

Are You Going to Be a Jedi Or A Jackoff?
You write because there
Is no one to talk to
About any of
This
It’s countenance,
It’s scoundrels at
The artifice,
It’s like Bill
Belichick telling
You he didn’t know
A murderer was on
His team
Alistair Overeem
Sparks coming
Off you
Two dead cars in
The garage
The drunkard’s
Gambit
Fruitcakes recruited
For the cause
And you getting your
Just deserts
Is no one to talk to
About any of
This
It’s countenance,
It’s scoundrels at
The artifice,
It’s like Bill
Belichick telling
You he didn’t know
A murderer was on
His team
Alistair Overeem
Sparks coming
Off you
Two dead cars in
The garage
The drunkard’s
Gambit
Fruitcakes recruited
For the cause
And you getting your
Just deserts

Remote Control
To the man who starts a war
From the comfort of his vacation home
Killing has never been so convenient
As playing with your little drones
Never having to see the looks upon their faces
Or see the pain behind their eyes
As you bomb them in their birthplaces
Deaf to their desperate cries
Blind to the atrocities of war
Of the millions dying on the floor
Their children crying at our door
Such unimaginable gore
The smell of burning flesh
Is something you'll never have to smell
Sending soldiers to clean up the mess ...
From the comfort of his vacation home
Killing has never been so convenient
As playing with your little drones
Never having to see the looks upon their faces
Or see the pain behind their eyes
As you bomb them in their birthplaces
Deaf to their desperate cries
Blind to the atrocities of war
Of the millions dying on the floor
Their children crying at our door
Such unimaginable gore
The smell of burning flesh
Is something you'll never have to smell
Sending soldiers to clean up the mess ...

my soldier is breaking
you're hurting and i wish i could do something
and i would
cos you're worth it
i don't wanna see you break down
IM posed to be the wreck here
the mess here
but i see the pain in your eyes
read the hurt between the lines
of your lies
you're comin apart piece by piece
startin wit your heart
you just can't bear the pain
hear that devil in your brain
i know it
i once felt the same
but I was DESTINED for this heartbreak
for this pain
You?
you're an angel
i don't want...
and i would
cos you're worth it
i don't wanna see you break down
IM posed to be the wreck here
the mess here
but i see the pain in your eyes
read the hurt between the lines
of your lies
you're comin apart piece by piece
startin wit your heart
you just can't bear the pain
hear that devil in your brain
i know it
i once felt the same
but I was DESTINED for this heartbreak
for this pain
You?
you're an angel
i don't want...

The Jesus factor
Not one of the nuclear bombs worked,
even the most complex
went off like cheap fireworks.
The whales,
spoken to on a different frequency,
so many on the beaches,
thousands more just off the coast,
they tried to warn us.
Yet still the iron net dragged
the land barren, leaving its shark bite
deep on the bandaged legs of children.
In the town a bell tower
haunts the magnolia strewn streets,
waiting for the stunt doubles to fall.
Camouflaged behind crosses,
families watch the strangers ride in
on...

warriors of the host united
life's masochist screams, no more torture and pain!
melodramatic, yes; but, with real feelings it's me—
it's not all about me...
sending ripples in the pond, we affect one another;
life is a love affair of the mind—
time goes on, and we march
warriors one and all, we evolve in understanding—
pain a great teacher, it holds all spectrums of truth;
flavoring our souls with so many shades of knowledge
sigh happiness in moments between
streets of old, street of gold
I hear ancient drumming—
brothers with honor war each...

The Bitterness Brigade
comes to no one's aid
including its own soldiers
under seige, in harm's way;
shoulders not responsibilities
for brothers up in arms today
Instead, with cheekfuls of cheese
every man for himself
runs away
skitter
skutter
scatter
Rat lives matter
including its own soldiers
under seige, in harm's way;
shoulders not responsibilities
for brothers up in arms today
Instead, with cheekfuls of cheese
every man for himself
runs away
skitter
skutter
scatter
Rat lives matter

Eternal Sentinels
The cardboard teddy
had a yellow silk ribbon
that taught you big boy laces.
He saved me from dizzy spots
and button pops,
when bending down to double knot.
Your army boots had eighteen eyes,
some missing from the cleat,
no ears to listen for the click.
They brought your body back,
the man said incomplete.
At two years old,
we stole first steps
on painted paper sheets,
so when we hide you underground,
I'll give you back your feet.

Raphium Series~thug hard soldiers
I'm coming unfurled feel me in the energy
riding the waves in the land of confusion
bringing my A-game thug hard watch your lady throw down
got the mean streets flowing through me
don't expect me. to live the pampered life of a misery Queen now
societal niceties know nothing about being me
me and my man we have an understanding
mess with that you'll be messing with a cruel viper
casting my magics on the winds
blindly, yes how I learned it
I'm a dark artist by nature
but I command the light just as easily
...
