Not A Day For A Daydream!
Back in time
Eye to eye contact
Was a pre-requisite
Of job interviews
I really, truly hated it
As i didn't want people
To see the sadness in my soul
Hidden behind my smiles of hope
It felt like an invasion of privacy
And fear
As once during
One of a myriad daydreams
My mind wandered
As i stared into
The oblique vagueries
Of my existence
And wandered the deserted plains of the ethereal
This was violently interrupted by
"What you fucking looking at!"
Just before being head butted for...

the weight of your legacy
my reflection holds a warnin
your face thru mine
a bloodline’s violent song
features cut into jagged scars
of inheritance
the steinway bears witness
to lessons of impact
how ribcages sing out
when struck just right
between wrong notes
I sign papers with reluctance
your name fadin into mine
crimson risin beneath skin
bleedin out onto dotted lines
so many nights I wake
to find my hands
curled into shapes
that speak with your tongue
and I swear if I could just recall
which...

Silenced Violence
I didn’t know grief had a sound, until it echoed in the silence after the gunshot.
How could something so final, so brutal, happen so fast?
The tears felt so heavy but were pointless. Nothing could remove your bloodstain in the dirt.
I screamed at the ground, but the earth didn’t care,
So, I cursed at the heavens demanding he be spared.
The truth is we stand in a shooting range, and no one even flinches when the bullets start flying.
As kids play on the playground, which would soon be their graveyard.
Like bodies hitting the ground is just background...

The Monster is in the Mirror of Time
I can't believe you thought gore would make you sick
when you're the only one who's truly sick
craving to put a head on stick
you're ultimately deranged
purely full of rage
no longer afraid of pain
what are you anymore?
A mind-wrecked monster?
You want to brandish your claws and sink them into someone's throat
A crazed lunatic with a bloodlust always unquenched
And a mind so goddamn entrenched
In the reality that time must persist
I am the monster that lurks within
searching for victim to forcefully end
I want to fight...

I Pity
Both sides killing each other
They both deserve to die
Since both do not bother
To stop and wonder why
Why is blood spilled each day
For handful meaningless sands
When killing can stop today
And extend peaceful hands
They kill in the name of Right
Blind in the nature of Gods
Thinking they know the light
An illusional psychotic frauds
Any such god would denounce
What is in his name is done
Yet they kill and announce
What they did is for the...

At Half Mast
Restless spirits when John Lennon was struck down
can you imagine all the people who cried
when Mahatma Gandhi died with sightless eyes
can you imagine all the people who fast
and stop singing when the caisson passed
flying the eagle at half mast
can you imagine all the people who cried
when Mahatma Gandhi died with sightless eyes
can you imagine all the people who fast
and stop singing when the caisson passed
flying the eagle at half mast

Bodies falling
Duty calling
Madness mauling
Generation clueless
Preparation useless
Nation godless
Situation dire
Government liars
Media pyre
Evil lurking
People searching
Satan laughing
God have mercy

Real Talk
My people perish for lack of knowledge of self
and our true history is not on their library's shelf
Our modern music misleads our youth
with prevented versions of the truth
So they turn to booze, weed, coke and dope
instead of finding betters ways to cope
Or they join gangs which are our resident evil
and become pawns in our spiritual upheaval
Princes and Principalities are the real puppet masters
and the architects of all man made disasters
I know how difficult it is to "walk the walk"
and that all...

Memories
You told me you forgot,
How does that feel?
I remember everything,
From the tears in your eyes,
To how you looked with blood on your sleeves.
I’m happy you can forget,
How does one forget?
I remember you screaming,
Can you still hear it?
Can you still make that noise?
I sit awake at night,
While you grasp onto remnants of nightmares.
I suffer like you,
But I suffer with my eyes open.
What else...
How does that feel?
I remember everything,
From the tears in your eyes,
To how you looked with blood on your sleeves.
I’m happy you can forget,
How does one forget?
I remember you screaming,
Can you still hear it?
Can you still make that noise?
I sit awake at night,
While you grasp onto remnants of nightmares.
I suffer like you,
But I suffer with my eyes open.
What else...
