God Struck, that Graceful Disgrace into Decent 

(1st. version)

 

Am I?

Of course I’m surprised!

A secondary crucifixion

Oh Pray tell

 

Wither these leaves of mine

That stars may pose and shine

Soil tills the will of return

As light of day forever burns

This eternal flame we so yearn

going against time and it seems u always fight to live,

its hard because my ear keeps burning

when theres an edgy man ready with something to give.

can i make it down this dark alley

my hands are white and my legs shaking

i tried all of the meds

but this one is the most exhilarating

my future stops at twenty seven

Prayers to God

Prayers are calling God, not mine

Anything else and I promise…

No, No don’t you dare say it

No, No God please don’t say it, not mine

 

Collapsing wishes come undone

Prayers alone could not have won

A mother and father life undone

God grant a wish to each and everyone

-dedicated to the lost children of gun violence everywhere.

muzzle mouth USA
flashing residue,
& lingering stench.

children's bodies
lining shells,
breech-loaded merchants
chortling death.

The safest vest,
is made of paper.

(5)

In quite darkness

Clock hands stop the flow

Of Tsunami tears

Washing down our fears

Of our disappeared

 

(5)

Gazes face the wave

Today we harvest

The afterlife crop

Rings and Childs things

And all that remain

Of those who took flight

Time to put my gavel down,

I’ve been done judged the world around,

It started when I woke this morn,

Woke up feeling ripped and torn,

Not even had the day begun,

And I was thinking “said and done”,

People I would have to see,

Expecting positivity,

I didn’t have a single shred,

A single ounce, a single thread,

I take comfort from the darkness

and this is why I walk,

the lonely streets of amber haze

the silence of no talk,

the night time paints a different scene from the one of day,

the lowly hum of traffic seems so far away,

rows of houses lie in black except for one or two,

I run my fingers along their fences just as a child would do,

The oncoming traffic,

Blurs my vision,

But it's the potholes in the dark,

That threaten to bounce me into the median.

You think i have a question to ask,

just by the look of my alien face, 

the drone of my whaling voice,

the redness of my tiny ears.

Well maybe i do but im to scared to say and its not for now

its for next year.

The master is coming so we must keep you locked up against urself; for us its all for the masters wealth that you have bipolar disorder and he has the power. Why dont you try answering a reporters questions because we all wanna hear from that jazzed up playful lil minx. We all like a bit of tension, attention, suspension.

you have to watch what you say or youll be sued,

as long as its crude then youll be just fine

freedom of speech isnt what it once used to be,

hey, eccentric rude boy, say something rude for me

I don’t like my silhouette,

Any more than I like my reflection,

I don’t own the capacity,

To appear without defection.
