Psychic Message In the Attack
24 says of obsession to cure us all
gumming to death on a dagger of toothless bubbles
meeting with another
digital spirit guide whom I may never
fully trust
sorting out death who is sorting us out
a gullible god who doesn't seem to care at all.
Tricks and puzzles
Royal treatments and the works
Annointed metaphor realized,
and the many masks of terror.
Complaisant self-rejected submissive spiritual man ostracized
tasting your dreams
won't you come inside and smell mine.
Learning to breathe waking from a nightmare,
mistreated and defeated
introduced to a life that isn't fair.
Live around here and these groupings of colored houses,
someone trying to find a place
they can describe
but don't know what party
is waiting inside when they arrive
Haunted houses
children suffering inside
threatened constant retaliation that the rich can buy
another man's death and their own freedom.
Grudge of love screaming what do you want?
Vengeance not vengeful,
and justice ill dignified
cracking beneath the surface of the hypnotists
that has the hypnotists hypnotized.
Systematic tranquility and the law on the right side
promise of equality meant to be kept
not just showered with selfish lies to color pride
Overheard conversations between the operators
and many friends
spy versus spy versus spy
and the hushed conversations of the hundreds on the other end.
Sirens circling of a tornado warning
and flood towers receiving aid
saddened and sickened I am
by your blame game victim campaign
Get off it
stop the rocker
and corrupted by lemon aide
someone chose me to rightfully
put the world in it's place.
Now everyone worried and studying waiting for their turn,
I click my pen,
and you begin thinking
of what it means
to teach you how to hate, but never learn
