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
