DamnationFarther and farther you go
I hope you dig yourself a grave
Buried and no way out
Without a coffin so I can watch you choke
On your sins you have made,
I hope karma comes and spits on your name
We were once family now I tear the title from the frames
Deeper and deeper you dig
You think you can get...

A Trick Of TimeTo live in the past must be scary a bit
Like you open the novel you’ve read
And it’s not quite the same what now you reread
What you have thought, felt and said
Seems distorted by memory, you ask yourself why
Should it continue like fictional
Though the fiction it’s not, but your own past time
Behaves in some way unpredictable
It's...

The OutdoorsThe outdoors.
Underground is where they live.
We walk mostly above ground.
We see flowers and walk on the trails.
The outdoors.
There are snakes but they get out of our way.
Trees fall down mysteriously.
They say it’s natural.
The outdoors.
The busy road does exist in the background.
I cross streets and bridges...

ImpotencyNot the truth of hierarchy
I loved the lie of life
Naked truth kills the humanity of falsehood
There is no religion
Death is the peace of heaven
Holy ground or the barbaric war
There is a tomb of screaming
Blind I see much
Deaf or dumb I speak much
No human is important
But God or imaginative prophecy
makes an impotent world

Look on the Bright SideMy wife picked up the phone and called her friend Lucy
Said we'll be in your haunts, we're coming to D.C.
"We found a hotel in Largo, it has a large pool
It will take our dog, and the kids don't have school."
Lucy replied "Largo hotels shelter many an illegal
"I suppose you picked it because it will allow...

I die as he wakes upHe gets up from the death bed
A dream or madness? My thoughts wander
A worrying chill runs down my spine
I throw up hard, then blindly faint
The air grows thick, my vision blurs
Shadows whisper, I hear their distress calls
Silent scares echo through the mortuary hall
My spirit then leaves my body behind
I die. The dead man comes alive

Pay for medication or

SERPENTS SCORPIONS AND OWLSSERPENTS SCORPIONS AND OWLS
We are led to believe that serpents lie
But that is the theme of a famous story
And by eating forbidden fruit, we die
Living a life no longer blessed in glory
Scorpions look evil, but that’s the point
A stinging tail used only when required
But depends however on a flexible joint
And with its protective scales, is...

Monday a mourning dayOh greatness, the king of days
You look so tired and stressed
Are there no maids in the race?
You acquired so much torture in quest
They violated you for your good ways
Great man full of honour, and no stress
You began encountering their riotic pace
Who killed the your power to test
You had believed in acquiring grace
Now that...

The Enemy WithinThe Enemy Within
"All cruelty springs from weakness." - Seneca
Oh Yes.
There is an Enemy Within.
It lives within, feeds upon, you.
Senseless, yelloweyed
It informs all that you do.
Born of your Hate, Pride, Ignorance
It warps you daily,
Makes every decision a folly.
The pity of it is,
You spent a life rewarded
For every vile transgression
Cheated of every lesson
Worth...

The Sound Of Thunder
At the first sign of the morning light
I hear the thunder roar!
It woke me from my sleep as the bed grappled my body
Not to be scared, I laid there motionless
The lighting flashes through the window
I closed my eyes while I was listening
Waiting for that moment to come - then all of a sudden...

THE STRANGE ROCKY HILLThere was a rocky hill where I thought could rest myself,
But when I sat there; saw people as small as elves,
The sky was dark over there,
All that the self knew was- the place where I sat wasn't fair.
But my tired feet still forced me ,
The bats flew above my head with an attitude of fully...
