What would you do for a Klondike Bar?
A woman pours gasoline all over herself and her infant child
She lights a match, and the two of them go up in flames in the middle of their playground in town
The reason...Someone asked the woman, "What would you do for a Klondike Bar?
Sucks for her and her infant.

Vale America
I asked God if the American empire was murdered by an enemy.
He said, without a single tear in his all seeing eyes.
" America died by suicide not murder."
No further explanation was required.

Ritual Memory
I wake in a place that does not know my name,
where the air is thick with lost prayers,
and the sky hums with voices I cannot place.
Somewhere, a flame flickers—
a beacon, or a warning.
I step forward, bare feet on cold stone,
but the earth does not answer.
Was I always meant to be a ghost?
A relic in a temple no one worships?
They dressed me in gold once,
offered their hands, their hymns—
but now, only silence kneels before me.
I press my palm to the altar,
its surface smooth, untouched by time.
A name...
where the air is thick with lost prayers,
and the sky hums with voices I cannot place.
Somewhere, a flame flickers—
a beacon, or a warning.
I step forward, bare feet on cold stone,
but the earth does not answer.
Was I always meant to be a ghost?
A relic in a temple no one worships?
They dressed me in gold once,
offered their hands, their hymns—
but now, only silence kneels before me.
I press my palm to the altar,
its surface smooth, untouched by time.
A name...

The Net
Majestically spanning San Francisco and Sausalito
stands one of the world's most famous landmarks
and one of the world's most utilized final stops
Who are these infrequent flyers?
These sad and lonely diers?
Students
Teachers (believe me, I get it)
the jilted, the lonely, the ill
so many reasons
always one less
than reasons to live
Recently, a safety net was added
285 feet in the sky
Taxpayers are arguing about it
It's a concept they just don't get
calling it a waste of their money
to save just...

The Steps (Suicide content Warning)
I stand at the bottom of the cliffs
A staircase winds up
Through the gorse and bracken
Its night, I'm alone, I can smell the sea.
Each step up brings me closer to the cliffs
Closer to the memorial benches
The rabbit nibbled grass
The rickety wood and wire fence
The sign warning of the drop
Up I climb
Rising closer to the top
When I am half way
I feel like turning back
I don't. I climb
I reach the top
Metres from the edge
The breeze from the sea is cooler up here
The orange lamps...

The sign warning of the drop
Up I climb
Rising closer to the top
When I am half way
I feel like turning back
I don't. I climb
I reach the top
Metres from the edge
The breeze from the sea is cooler up here

A mom's despair
I have a child who tried to take his life a couple of years back
There is no larger pain for a mother to know that her son wants to leave this world.
It breaks my heart to know he still thinks about it.
It pains me when he rejects my help or anyone elses for that matter.
He had a wonderful childhood, loving parents and grandparents.
In his younger years, he was such a vibrant and happy kid. I think it all changed when he was diagnosed with type 1 diabetes at 5 years old.

Farewell
I was born through misery,
and raised with pain.
The life they gave me was always filled with vain…
Forgive me my dear, for me wanting to disappear,
everything is going downhill, I can't handle the despair.
This life is too much for me.
But please trust me my dear, I'm now free from despair
Please excuse the blood my dear.
and raised with pain.

After Her Burial
When I reach into your pocket
That's when I lose control
I can feel your crotch and how wet you are
Nobody knows freedom until you orgasm
My place or yours?
My place has a better view of the old oak tree that you worship
C'mon let's go
That's ok that your one with the trees, I get it
After we fuck and experience freedom, we can climb that tree to the top
Reality will creep back into our lives again
We hate it!
We need to experience euphoria in our own utopia... forever
If you reach the top before me, make a wish and then jump ...

Only in life you'll feel this pain
Phone calls, friends, Valentine's Day cards, cats, birthday parties and the countless games that make people hurt, cry, laugh etc.
These things are hands that stick out the window and catch you and break your fall after you have thrown yourself off the roof
The sound of their voices, the pain they inflict, the games they play
The noise
The noise keeps you from going insane
It keeps your mind off your mind
Down the road in an ordinary house of the alive, there is darkness & silence
You can hear the water dripping off the roof of your skull
There's...

Ghost In A Shell
My body a cardboard box
Can't take another flame of love
I'll burn up in flames, would that be a shock?
My soul can escape to retire above
Empty carcass of my soul
Broken parts and brittle bones
Nothing left to feel inside
Nothing that I feel inside
Sticks and stone may break my bones
But words can do no more
'Cause after all this hell
I'm just a ghost in a shell
Maybe I just need some help
Should I wanna get well, get well?
I don't feel unhealthy, don't feel myself
I'm fading away, it's my personal...

Attention K-Mart Shoppers
Jennifer, who would ever think that your trail would end at K-Mart
Did anyone tell you?
If you were alive right now
I mean if your brains hadn't been blown out of your skull with that shotgun you put to it
Would you have believed you would have done such a thing?
Jennifer, you didn't see what I saw
Oh girl,
Some kid had a hunk of your brains in a cheeseburger wrapper and was showing it to people
I went to the place where you shot yourself
You know the place I'm talking about
You were there about 26 hours before me
Jennifer, I searched...
Did anyone tell you?

I mean if your brains hadn't been blown out of your skull with that shotgun you put to it
Would you have believed you would have done such a thing?
Jennifer, you didn't see what I saw
Oh girl,
Some kid had a hunk of your brains in a cheeseburger wrapper and was showing it to people
I went to the place where you shot yourself
You know the place I'm talking about
You were there about 26 hours before me
Jennifer, I searched...
