Old Signs Stay True

Trespassers will be shot I Survive not as a man but as a human being I' am level but bent elements of life cast in a mutant haze to come close to satisfaction my only compromise brought up in abstract wars defending the ludicrous redundant whores planning a future where money takes all but the hard lines on our face and our leather patched jeans Oxygen all used up in this arrogant world where dog eat dog and nothing is obscene or absurd the knowing don't advertise just to profit from a mind carelessly drifting away improving methods to make a living from violence with pseudo safety at your fingertips chilled ocean waves freezing deep inside the sweat of the mid day sun creative masters all degrees, fun youngers all diseases laughter patiently mocking paranoid trips, kids dolls locked in a zoo beautiful heroes and spirit imbued what is brave an answer to your possession the listing struggle collecting tax from a citizen willing to pay if they'll just explain cash is their mandate, and fear is their weapon your not safe in your domain because we've made it a price to defend playing god compared to taking life but nature is it's own entity replication is insane ask god if we are the same where is the book of legends which guides us, reincarnates the process to find us allowing acts in revealing you a chain that carries a ball a warning to the residence of Shangri La prisoners of withdraws and the timeless is at hand to polish hatred to distract mankind what of John Lennon or Hitler without a madman plot our future lies in our will If Christ should appear, would he be dressed in Kevlar with an army of tears free is not to live in fear, free is all the guns at the bottom of the sea everything oil,plastic,automobiles,trans fats,poverty and hatred pied piped by anti Federal mannequins the closest to representation we will ever get animals are to be respected and learned from they have no fight with man but a common strife the first signs of humanities decline will come venerable brave tell me we don't have the intelligence and wisdom to proceed without weapons what if armies used food and care in an assault on the troubles of the world can i have a wonderful life and feel good about being eaten by a bear when less is praised but no fearless embrace not even a word, you are trespassing in our world intelligence and passion make up our bullet proof suite don't underestimate the possibility you harbor a killer in your garage i' d rather be killed by a bear, than road kill

Thanks Crystal,I can't imagine the faces of pain i answer with a joke, like they are insane and me along with them. Is one of the lines i removed, it was getting too dark.often feeling my body too much maintenance to my minds abuse. Yes, I'll keep writing in search of a future free from the banes of destruction

i enjoyed this write, and unfortunately every word it true about what the world has become. I especially liked the line "playing god compared to taking life but nature is it's own entity replication is insane ask god if we are the same" it is very powerful and scarily honest. Keep up the good write!
