Declaring a war you can't win.
I am your cargo.
As you embark on a crazy mission.
To invade me in every way.
Your pen is full of blood.
I never wear a hard hat.
So you give me a concussion.
This headache I need so much.
Getting laid by your words.
Intuitively feeling me.
Patrolling my perimeters.
This subliminal invasion.
Feelings lingering.
You are dying to shoot in me.
Declaring a war you can't win.
There is only one side, mine.
And you will realize that soon.
As you embark on a crazy mission.
To invade me in every way.
Your pen is full of blood.
I never wear a hard hat.
So you give me a concussion.
This headache I need so much.
Getting laid by your words.
Intuitively feeling me.
Patrolling my perimeters.
This subliminal invasion.
Feelings lingering.
You are dying to shoot in me.
Declaring a war you can't win.
There is only one side, mine.
And you will realize that soon.

Fields Of Echoes
So says the twilight frame of my mind
mystic memories through shadows
and silhouettes over fields of echoes
in the antebellum's age of vines
scribbled on death's porcelain vellum
as I lay dying at Antietam
mystic memories through shadows
and silhouettes over fields of echoes
in the antebellum's age of vines
scribbled on death's porcelain vellum

A War Of Hearts (Helen Of Troy)
Yes, bring to me this Helen of Troy
She is the woman where her name is written upon ancient strolls, her debauchery to use men as manipulative toys
She claimed my soul in the middle of the night
Her kiss of betrayal lead to the Trojan War in the dawn before early’s light
A femme fatale of beauty, grace, decorum, her temple of shroud holiness, has deceived the masses
Broken alliance among the wealth of many classes
Her alluring soul, entwined unto mine has diluted Kingdoms into bloodshed and sword upon its clashes ...
She is the woman where her name is written upon ancient strolls, her debauchery to use men as manipulative toys
She claimed my soul in the middle of the night
Her kiss of betrayal lead to the Trojan War in the dawn before early’s light

Broken alliance among the wealth of many classes
Her alluring soul, entwined unto mine has diluted Kingdoms into bloodshed and sword upon its clashes ...

Awake
Uncertain in the distance sounds the trumpeter
Summons to shadow war calling
The Praetorian guard plays king maker
The Republic has fallen
Failed assassinations, and palace coups
A royal game of thrones
The captain of the Pretorian guard is removed
Kabuki theater honed
Knife fighting deep in the heart of darkness
A more civil war brings
Lies, deceit, betrayal, and all the people said
The king is dead, long live the king
And yet, who shall that king be...
Change swirls hot in the air
Uncertain, unsettled,...
Summons to shadow war calling

a contemplative, conflicted, gay, unhappy man
siegfried sassoon was brave, not just
in the war, but in his head, and I
wish he hadn’t liked fox hunting
as much as he did, but I like to think
“it had little to do with the killing,” I like
to think he’d have said
in the war, but in his head, and I

Moonlight Rose On A Steamer To Old New York
Moonlight Rose On A Steamer To Old New York
Me and my Moonlight Rose were on a steamer to Old New York. We were reliving an era of rose-scented boudoir steam. We were circling back to the gilded rose of our once upon a time romance in haute couture. And her perfume made me truly believe that everything that glitters is the gold standard of love both new and old.
She was my born again gilded rose in haute couture. And I knew this time we would find that rose we lost somewhere back in the den of Gatsby’s again. Art Deco couldn’t roar like my eternal rose. Our old...

Asshole Gods
if your church
is an open-minded welcoming community
That understands the US Constitution
is not a religious decree
if you welcome LBGTQ members
don't cherry pick the bible
practice compassion and kindness
-even to those different from you-
you likely worship a benevolent god
and that's awesome
however
if you don't care how many school children die
to uphold your 2nd amendment rights
if you spout absurdly ill-considered cliches
like 'guns don't kill people'
when the 20 million assault rifles in america ...

Dezba goes to War
War paint horse alone
Her thundering throne
Nations in motion
Dust storms as omens
Weaponed with crossbows
Shooting metal tipped arrows
Multiple hidden knives as allies
Around each of her thighs
Spirit animal fox beauty queen
Ruler of the red castle
Multiple heads dripping
On the spiked wooden mantle
Above the flaming fireplace
By the death saint’s face
Sharpening a baptized tomahawk
Dead before you run or walk
Toppling new world civilizations
Dragging hell into revolutions ...
Her thundering throne
Nations in motion
Dust storms as omens
Weaponed with crossbows
Shooting metal tipped arrows
Multiple hidden knives as allies
Around each of her thighs
Spirit animal fox beauty queen
Ruler of the red castle
Multiple heads dripping
On the spiked wooden mantle
Above the flaming fireplace
By the death saint’s face
Sharpening a baptized tomahawk
Dead before you run or walk
Toppling new world civilizations

The Machine is...2024 (Depressing Poem Warning)
The machine is
Hungry for money
Thirsty for blood
The machine is
The breathless immortal
Sniffing at your door
Screaming in the dark
The machine is
Born from the machine
Heart frozen
Soul washed
Mowing forests
Carving deserts
Leaving pits of filth
Toxic air
Toxic sea
Toxic land
Toxic animals
Belts of slaughter
Under Poison rain
Turning millions insane
The machine is
The mechanical vampire
Sucking on your fear
Draining time ...
Hungry for money

Leaving pits of filth
Toxic air
Toxic sea
Toxic land
Toxic animals
Belts of slaughter

Turning millions insane

The mechanical vampire
Sucking on your fear

Xmas on a Motherf**ka
Dashing through blood covered snow
Mr. Thanksgiving, like Russian sanctions-he is Europe played like a ho',
"Along with his partner in crime Jack Frost
Because the motherfuckas forgot who is the holiday boss,
"They invaded Santa's home
Now the shit is Northern lights 24/7 on,
"So, fuck the fun and children's games
Now its Taliban terrorist living without any shame,
"A white Christmas that will turn into war torn red
But one thing for certain motherfuckas will be dead, ...

US Election 2024
Sorry world,
I no longer believe a word anyone says about anything,
and I do not have the energy to argue with nitwits anymore.
For the third election in a row the claims will be evil versus evil, liar versus liar, corrupt versus corrupt, and they aren't necessarily wrong on either side about the other.
If it isn't obvious by now that this system is designed to provide terrible choices for voters, which became transparent when the Democrats shafted Sanders, the person whom really most Americans supported, America will never get there, and the only way it will change now...
