Pitiful Souls
Pitiful souls living off crumbs,
hardly surviving alone,
mice digging from bedrock
sifting through debris for daily bread.
Pitiful souls joined in a nest of matrimony
in the name of stability and unity,
sharing scraps,
drawing near to fatality,
in a miserable race against time.
Pitiful souls chasing after copulation,
mindlessly delivering innocent lives
cradled at chaos’ doorstep,
lost embryos left to wander.
Pitiful souls giving birth
to more pitiful souls,
enduring wars,
ruthlessly...
hardly surviving alone,
mice digging from bedrock
sifting through debris for daily bread.
Pitiful souls joined in a nest of matrimony

sharing scraps,

Pitiful souls chasing after copulation,
mindlessly delivering innocent lives
cradled at chaos’ doorstep,
lost embryos left to wander.
Pitiful souls giving birth
to more pitiful souls,
enduring wars,

Art
Art
Let me explain
It's not about a series of words scribbled on a page.
Or
Paint splattered canvas , graphite sketch images
A series of sounds made by any variety of instruments.
Art is more than all that .
It is about expressing the emotions most people bury deep inside of their souls , the love the suffering , the joy and pain that scratches from the darkest reaches within you heart , cracking thru your rib bones and organs just to tell the world a little piece of the puzzle ,
That
Is
You

The Marionette and the Puppeteer
Having fun on his own, the puppeteer wanted any toy to pass the time with—a plaything for his lecherous mind. There, he noticed the puppet sleeping soundly in the same room—the perfect doll, he thought.
At first, it began with stolen glances and grazes across her figure. Then, when the lights were turned off and everyone was asleep, his show started, and his costume was on, designed to do tricks for her—tricks she had never felt before, and neither did she want to feel.
Paralyzed, lying like a corpse as he fastened the strings around her wrists, joints, and limbs, she...

Da Bomb
Black hole in the bomb
Oppy in Los Alomos
New Mexico dessert
Fusion atomic bomb
Witch hunt McCarthy era
Japanese children with no skin
Such knowledge I can’t imagine
Einstein’s Teacher
Drop the bomb
Cities explode
Made the bomb to beat Hitler
So now he’s dead in a bunker
All this work I want to see
Here goes Hiroshima in a mushroom
Could have dropped it on Japan Bay
But I want to see destruction of humans
And buildings layed flat to the ground
Fireworks on...

Story
I'll bring you stories,
of the one heart beating,
an end to thumping,
then the one dying,
the burial of daffodils,
and all of the roses,
story of sorrow,
the one of tomorrow......
of the one heart beating,
an end to thumping,
then the one dying,
the burial of daffodils,
and all of the roses,
story of sorrow,
the one of tomorrow......

Throwing Up From Last Night's Party
Yvonne woke
up hungover
and found
herself naked
and on top of Kai
and that her
husband
Steven was
on top
of Oona's
bare belly
before going to
the bathroom and throwing
up
from last night's party.

I Like Me Better
I like me better when
I’m just a shadow painted on the wall.
Dim light illuminated from the lamp,
Casting this version of me
Murky and opaque, a proof I exist,
Mirroring and tailing my movements
To remind me of what I am,
Though it knows not who I am.
This silhouette, merely a fragment of me,
Dancing across the room while I’m writhing,
A glorious reflection of my being,
Failed to display my agony
As it lingers, quietly witnessing.
That’s why I like me better when I’m her.
I trace the contours of...
I’m just a shadow painted on the wall.
Dim light illuminated from the lamp,
Casting this version of me
Murky and opaque, a proof I exist,
Mirroring and tailing my movements
To remind me of what I am,
Though it knows not who I am.
This silhouette, merely a fragment of me,
Dancing across the room while I’m writhing,
A glorious reflection of my being,
Failed to display my agony

My Aria
I’m uncertain if my bleeding is agonizing enough
For me to weep,
Or if I’m just caught in an extravagant opera
Performing an aria,
Like a soprano lamenting her melodic pain
In search of aid.
Cluelessly applauding brava for her bel canto
During her cadenza,
As she sweeps the floor with her paltry blood and tears,
When others’ sorrows
Weigh heavier than her ceasing high note,
To even dare to cry.
For me to weep,
Or if I’m just caught in an extravagant opera

In search of aid.
Cluelessly applauding brava for her bel canto
During her cadenza,
As she sweeps the floor with her paltry blood and tears,
When others’ sorrows
Weigh heavier than her ceasing high note,
To even dare to cry.

THROUGH THESE EYES OF MINE
Through these eyes 👁️👁️ of mine, I've seen many things in plain view of pictures of what I truly see. AS the world that I once knew has really changed in so many way. 😲 That I find it to hard to believe that this is what our future is gonna be. AS the Democrat party has us all involved with their nonsense ignorants of no speech and no freedom of thoughts. 🧐 Yet there is Just a few people's who are not,🤔 able and willing to conceive the truth, that they never truly had your best interest at heart. 💔 Due to the fact that they are...

Fool’s Gold
Just like a spider on a web
You trapped me in your lies
I was prey in your eyes
My heart was just a trophy on your display
You treated my love like fools gold
You sold me false hope of a loving relationship
Stabbing me in the front with a smile
Just so you can get high off the pain inflicted on my face.
You trapped me in your lies
I was prey in your eyes
My heart was just a trophy on your display
You treated my love like fools gold
You sold me false hope of a loving relationship
Stabbing me in the front with a smile

"Home" (inspired by From series)
but where the hell is "home"? because so called "home" is just as much limbo.... peace, comfort, something meaningful? I don't see it....
why do bad things happen here? why do people want to commit suicide HERE? what/where the fuck is "home"?
