my spirit quickens
melancholy is with me always
I'm dying to my sin nature
I cry for the fallen angels
I weep for Lucifer he was my brother before the fall
I stood up to him it pained me greatly
to have one so beautiful betray us
I wish it never was
we have access to the tree of truth and mercy
www=world wide war
this is a strategic war God is prepared
germ warfare is upon us
I fear but remember the lamb
a feast is set before us
great and small will be tested
I pray we find relief in these treacherous...

Attention
Dress it right and cover down
It's time to follow orders now
Get in formation and do as told
Before this pandemic truly unfolds
The bold & the beautiful are vulnerable too
So stop thinking that it can't happen to you
The seniors & preemies need your attention
Head & eyes to the front as you attentively listen
Hold your position with a sniper's patience
Detainees in prison to minimize new patients
Hard work & dedication is the hussle for the nation
Use Pythagorean tools; don't diffuse the equation
It's time to follow orders now
Get in formation and do as told
Before this pandemic truly unfolds
The bold & the beautiful are vulnerable too
So stop thinking that it can't happen to you
The seniors & preemies need your attention
Head & eyes to the front as you attentively listen
Hold your position with a sniper's patience
Detainees in prison to minimize new patients
Hard work & dedication is the hussle for the nation
Use Pythagorean tools; don't diffuse the equation

Welcome To The Jungle
O'Reilly was just assigned to our unit, a fresh kid with a fresh smile
All new recruits had been going over to Charlie for a while
Partially due to warring politics and also they suffered heavy loses
A volunteer like O'Reilly was never instructed on all of war's true loses
Raised with the philosophy that to truly belong you joined
Although never taught that war and death were conjoined
O'Reilly entered hell all bright eyed and bushy tailed
And was delivered to a troop that was on R&R, and they only wanted some tail
He had money in his...

God Bless The VA
A man sits under a statue
built in his honor
Caressing a guitar
like a ribbon holds a tree
A hat turned upside down
while he plays a prayer of change
In a car ten feet away
with a sticker bearing the face
Of the man he scoffs at
In proud display on the bumper
To purse your wallet for change
His strings are out of tune he says
as a green light drives him off
While his carefully selected
Soundtrack, quietly issues
A prayer for change
built in his honor
Caressing a guitar
like a ribbon holds a tree
A hat turned upside down
while he plays a prayer of change
In a car ten feet away
with a sticker bearing the face
Of the man he scoffs at
In proud display on the bumper
To purse your wallet for change
His strings are out of tune he says
as a green light drives him off
While his carefully selected
Soundtrack, quietly issues
A prayer for change

PTSD vs Anxiety
Large crowds with an array of activities
Have tendencies of evoking anxieties
Could it be PTSD or just ordinary angst
I can not see clearly what I'm up against
Against all odds I'll evolve out on top
This disability won't cause me to stop
Won't stop trying to cop enjoyable fun
Or drop when a pop sounds like a gun
I don't like anyone being behind my back
It weighs me down like an Army rucksack
Jacking up a heightened sense of vigilance
Hoping shit doesn't make me a vic of violence
Have tendencies of evoking anxieties
Could it be PTSD or just ordinary angst
I can not see clearly what I'm up against
Against all odds I'll evolve out on top
This disability won't cause me to stop
Won't stop trying to cop enjoyable fun
Or drop when a pop sounds like a gun
I don't like anyone being behind my back
It weighs me down like an Army rucksack
Jacking up a heightened sense of vigilance
Hoping shit doesn't make me a vic of violence

Impacting War
There is a silence that sweeps the street
As our sons and fathers are called to war
There is no telling what might be
as they fight for their country
leaving homes hollow void
breaking smiles and families
many will perish many will die
and the acquainted will cry
flags will fly
dog-tags delivered to homes and teary eyed
I’d imagine the devastation
of a mother's only child
or the brokenness of a little girl,
orphaned by the stride.
I think of all the people who’ve survived
Yet fighting war...
As our sons and fathers are called to war
There is no telling what might be

leaving homes hollow void
breaking smiles and families
many will perish many will die
and the acquainted will cry
flags will fly
dog-tags delivered to homes and teary eyed
I’d imagine the devastation
of a mother's only child
or the brokenness of a little girl,
orphaned by the stride.
I think of all the people who’ve survived
Yet fighting war...

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

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 ...
