That f**kin Sleepover
I did something as a child
that was so cruel, it haunts me.
I often wonder if I hadn't done it
what kind of person I'd be.
Would I lack empathy?
I like to believe it had to be done,
kinda like a soul lesson.
That helps me sleep
it also helps me drink
and smoke.
that was so cruel, it haunts me.
I often wonder if I hadn't done it
what kind of person I'd be.
Would I lack empathy?
I like to believe it had to be done,
kinda like a soul lesson.
That helps me sleep
it also helps me drink
and smoke.

The Way We Were
In the last days of the techno world
Civility sank under hatred's weight
And degrading epithets were hurled
Thinking that the thing making great men great.
The leadership led with a Gong Show gong
To pocket pick the people's attention
Away from distinguishing right from wrong
Or who deserved an honorable mention.
Then one day there was something amiss
As nature took our sapience to task
With the sort of thing we couldn't dismiss
Without wearing an exceptional mask!
One that kept evil out of our face
As it symbolized our social...
Civility sank under hatred's weight
And degrading epithets were hurled
Thinking that the thing making great men great.
The leadership led with a Gong Show gong
To pocket pick the people's attention
Away from distinguishing right from wrong
Or who deserved an honorable mention.
Then one day there was something amiss
As nature took our sapience to task
With the sort of thing we couldn't dismiss
Without wearing an exceptional mask!
One that kept evil out of our face
As it symbolized our social...

Where are we headed to?
I wonder if,
in light of the rapidity
in which we see
the attitude of Lamech
towards those who might attempt
to injure him
encompassing the world
within a burgeoning hostility
that voids morality,
man’s destiny is doom
and inescapable calamity.
I doubt that love of enemy,
no matter how much honour
is obtained by it,
will ever be sufficient, fit
to quell, or more importantly, reverse
the darkening curse
that’s now upon humanity
and all the earth ...

The Plantation
did the plantation ever die?
worthy of a private eye
a question, needing the address
flipping the pages of unrest.
vast were the lands
providing for the heritage to withstand.
now the humor is less than jest
once again the owners read from their list
mistakes, obviously they did make
heavens let's not forsake.
the fierce of the whip
in modern times they do skip.
honey from the evermore sinister
the plot now is given less vinegar.
did the plantation really die?
observing of these days,
cripples me to say. ...
