Military Madness
Look into my eyes
I’m a human guinea pig
Born to be controlled
Forced into experimentation
I have no name
No words that mean anything
A little each day,
Psycho & possessed into a state
War inside my head
I can feel the pain
Can you?
I’m a human guinea pig
Born to be controlled
Forced into experimentation
I have no name
No words that mean anything
A little each day,
Psycho & possessed into a state
War inside my head
I can feel the pain
Can you?

in the stellar dawning, bleed
suffering the inhumanity of humanity
it hurts to feel this much
flooded with information not said
would it piss you off to know I can read what you really mean
behind the lying smile meant to disarm me, I see
in my vow I remain stoic
I will not succumb to the bitterness of rejection
it is an infection passed around so some can feel superior
I don't need your disease
head check yourself if you think I'm wrong
it's the ego inflated talking
I strike at the pus so you may be free
in the cold dark believe this, you are...

Covert
In the shadows
Slow motion
Long waits in between stations
Covert work not for the impatient
Yet here I find myself
They gave me a partner
Experienced in foreign matters
Collectively we piece things together
A chess board of sorts
Moves and countermoves
Voyeurs for the truth
Or anything that looks like the truth
Locked and loaded
Shoot to thrill
Slow motion
Long waits in between stations
Covert work not for the impatient
Yet here I find myself
They gave me a partner
Experienced in foreign matters
Collectively we piece things together
A chess board of sorts
Moves and countermoves
Voyeurs for the truth
Or anything that looks like the truth
Locked and loaded
Shoot to thrill

They Sleep Unaware of the Clarion Call
in foreign fields they rested
where past dreams echoes
they sleep unaware of the clarion call
that no more pierce the silent sleepers
they fell responding to their duty
defend the nation from perceived enemies
they understood and accepted their fate
when they heed the call to arms
under the field of crosses
the sons and daughters so loved
were identified only by their name
carved on the crosses
their names testified to their bravery
they were the living walls
against the oncoming enemies

Lineal Descent
We are our Bubbies'
granddaughters—
tribal survivors
Never again
will we be imprisoned—
beaten, owned, or raped
But, fight to the death
for our God-given right—
to live as women

Vampires
We hear the gunfire off in the distance
We find ourself picking up pace in that direction
No more than filth covered skeletons trekking through the jungle
War harden with dead men eyes looking for the next skirmish
We know our positions and the way that we each move
The natural predators here give us a wide girth
For they have all agreed this is man's war
They have agreed to come together as one and clean up the battlefields
But for now and from afar they watch as we kill
They don't understand it, because we are defying the...

The Real War With The Sleeping Giant
I know there is a war between Russia since the invasion of Ukraine’s territory, however, America needs to pay more close attention to the sleeping Dragon, which is China.
Can you imagine the commence we share with that country and how much in our GNP befalls the financial stock that China holds in America and in surrounding other continents, from raping the natural mineral resources from continents in Africa such divisions as Zambia, Tanzania, and Mozambique.
Precious minerals used for your everyday usage, like the cell phone technical properties, the mechanical...

Dial Portugal 1944
Under the cloak of neutrality,
Portugal, land of ancient navigators,
watched the world in calamity,
in the silence of their own fears.
Salazar, with his iron hand,
kept the war out the door,
but the echo of the conflict was sincere,
and in the gloom, hope was dead.
The Tagus reflected the moonlight
while spies danced in Lisbon.
War, a shadow that continues
in the story that memory sings.
Tungsten fueled the economy,
dark business in dark times.
Neutrality was a utopia
or a game between several...

The Physiology of Atrophy
The doorway to the desert.
The blood red sun sets into the stone
Of your future.
Sand granules set into stillness.
This moment is detached from humanity
and human activity.
Abandon hope is spoken in closed lips
Across the face.
* * *
The first night screams between the ears
Or so I’ve heard.
Because I’ve drowned in the depths
Of every known darkness.
The sand granules become electrons
Cast side to side.

The physiology moves in steps
