Judgment Day

Boring hewing and constant strip-mining


Corporations bent on resource divining


Our planets innards’ thrown in a blender


All for the vice of humankinds splendor


Earthquakes tsunamis cry-outs for Mommies

I glanced it there at the back of his neck

And thought to open the handle 

Using kite string and rain.

I stopped the curious feline fingers

From spreading across him to the other

Because then I would have to let him sit

On the long grey chaise

With the green pillows

Plump and ripe

Turning Rising Laying.

Swimming against the tide I turn and rise
And am taken inside the following wave
I keep offering the strength with the will to survive
But as I turn and rise I am taken down again
I struggle to breathe I struggle to see

Inception

Temptation

Is there a deeper reason

As to why they rhyme

Because to this beginning

There is no ending

Exponential as a square

Closer then they appear

Dream till your death

Then dream some more

But keep a reminder of reality

Close like the boards of a wooden floor

A blackhole

A whirlpool

Grab reality by the

I want to get wasted.

Shake my ass to pounding bass.

Dance crazy on a bar.

Receive hot sweaty kisses from a stranger.

I want to drink Long Island's to they go down smooth like water.

I want to lose all inhibition.

I want to lose myself.

I want to get

So here it is the story of a nation

One set on change and self-realization

Yet strife with density and a blatant lack of maturation

Loaded with party fools hell bent on domination

Mile High Ghost Town.

Spooks on every corner

Chains rattling behind me

Haunting my every move

Grasping my ankles with rotting hands

Pulling me into the grave

Find a way to affect people.

With your actions!

Do something about something!
