The U.S. of H
The United States of Hades still killing our babies
Acting like rabid dogs that slob because of rabies
Salivating for more war from the eastern to western shore
Regressing and I keep questioning what's it all for
Who's requesting these encores?

Navigator To The Metaphorical Gods Of The Dead
Bearing to rising tides the windy fog evaporating towards us, too late long too late,
It is upon us now more than ever to find the mother lovin truth of hidden fates,
Rough seas as far as the eye can see reflected back in my eye mirrored to me,
So what is the truth of what I'm really seeing beyond any reason for this reality,
Dreams of colors so lucid it destroys the other minds that had attempted,
Dead men walking do you see them in the dark shadow corners of the night,
The multiverse has me lost every second I think about it, not here but...

Sephiroth
Do you have what it takes to be a soldier?
Shoulder to shoulder with the devil himself,
Warrior songs heard by our entire Earth,
Circling in a cauldron of five five six,
Capsules capturing a human life,
Only way your taking me out a stake through my heart,
Shrapnel hell ambush alley rapture down at the park,
Waking up to sounds of little robot ninja murderers,
Their digital vision harbors their cold definition of existence,
Leaving behind a scene only meant for electronic machines,
It is playing numerology those sexy ones and zeros,
The...

a god fearing woman
gran said she trusted in god
as the bombs fell on woolwich
dock yards apart from where
she lived she thought was possibly heaven ..

From Genesis to Current Affairs
The flashing back to zero was a booted Jack for Eva
with people disappearing sometimes millions from the scene
the refugees were homeless but was just a game for Nero
who looked from safer distances away from all the screams
I wondered when the fairies and the angels got together
would practice for the play-off as an Armageddon team
defeat the lizard crazies who’d usurped the peaceful garden
by calling out supporters in the growing tragedy
with missiles fired moronically confirming vicious misprints
they scattered middle-eastern turf,...

Lieutenant of Fear
In normal times he may seem anonymous,
the quiet man and his wife at the restaurant
The taxi driver smiling, who brought you from the airport
who you tipped generously
He may live in your city, village or town
but you have never seen his face.
In abnormal times, times of war
he will appear from nowhere
Knowing what must be
without hesitation
his thirst for violence
will seem unimaginable
he will steal your breath
His want, wish, need
is to inflict hurt or pain
upon the weak or defenseless
If...

What Did Your Overlord Say?
Protests in a
petri dish
burn down whole
cities because you
want a free pair of
Gucci flipflops
that was straight
up murder
though
you’re all still a
bunch of asshole race
war losers
though
it’s the bandwagon that
everybody jumps on
go protest in your
favorite celeb’s
neighborhood,
see how much
you’ll have their
support then
virtue and vice,
these men are
all mice
isn’t it strident to
be this nice?
isn’t it...

War is Blind
Fratricide
Unintentional
casualties
unintended
consequences
the human
race is one
scientifically
spiritually
Psychosocially
What gift to my
family
is using legal
ethnic and racial
terms at law
and government?
Should it not be cut off
like religion
as far as ruling
over us?
Why should a
cultural fiction
end us in
pointless bloodshed
We are all one
red blood
Unintentional

uncivil war
the cosmos hushed and my mind awoken
the prophets have fallen
the times are telling
I will not usher in the darkness
insidious forsaken in your plight
falter not on the way to salvation
the plagues are upon the land
the climate is changing
the glaciers are melting
plant a seed of hope today
see it trodden upon tomorrow
the wheat is set fire to
inner turmoil and fear rule
trample your brothers
rape your sisters
stop
instead demand change
it starts with you
foundations...
