RIOT

Palpable is change.
The Lord stated this in Psalms.
The world is in an arrest.
When change does manifest, what questions will we ask?
Palpability to change is a child mind’s eye.
She sees into the future and the past.
Her destiny will form as her life is discovered.

Reach for the...

It was in eighteen eighty-six in the streets of Chicago,
where the greatest miscarriage of justice people would know
transpired in an infamous labor-police rendezvous.
Albert Parsons led eighty thousand people on revue.
The strikers marched down Chicago’s Michigan Avenue.
The Knights of Labor were sponsors for the work stoppage...

You're not doing well,
  Ya gotta lose weight;
Keep track of every particle
  Of food on your plate.

Count calories obsessively,
  Go on diets galore;
Don't even eat jello,
  'Cuz "there's always room for more."

Drink water constantly
  Eight bottles a day;
That'll surely take

Race Riot

Race Riots don’t start in Baltimore quiet
Silence is not what they seek 
Innocence stripped naked in childhood
Oppression festers in neighborhoods disease
Not genetically engineered in labs 
Pharmaceuticals have a hand some say
To fire the imagination, inflame bigotry
Revolutions begin in fear, form with the youth on...

Broke the door
Gotta Iphone4
A TV
Dvd
Laptop 
I can't stop
Popped back in the shop
Ooh! ooh! another Iphone
Gotta go home 
Cant carry any more
Me arms are gettin’ sore
But I think I can manage two more
So back into the store
For me 8month olds son a fluffy toy
And me 8year...

Let’s throw a big spectacular bash. 
And party with a smash and some flair.
Then we can grow a sexy moustache. 
And party on our face with some hair.

Maybe we should just have a ball. 
And party with black tie and a coat.
Then we can all...

Set the scene
strike the slate
a plague befalls Rome this day
like the Gods bless the clouds to spew rain from its jaws
A hurricane of envy washes the city streets
already filthy with the foul stench of death and rotting flesh
The universe knows the tyranny of deceit, deception
lurking...

There’s a riot in the city,
And the spirit in control shout that “greed is good”.
So is this imposter telling me that innocent people stood,
Outside of their burning homes for the “good” of society?
The instigator of “reckless rioting”,
The dark midst over communities,
Is sowing the seed, 
That...

Was it spontaneous?
Now I’m broken.
Was it worthwhile?
Because it’s permanently scarred.
Sorry?

Joy and love,
Consumed me, when I saw you.
Instead, the devilish grin you sent,
Put a dagger,
To my heart.

Blinded, was I.
For thinking, ‘blood is thicker than water.’
Yet, the soul is such an impeccable thing;
Even your own blood,
Can turn...

There once lived a huge, black bear named quiet
In the forest, he ate a bland diet
Never one to roar
He was such a bore
‘Til gobbling a troll, rousing a riot

a mass rebellion
against fears of yesterday
hardcore promotion
of dreams that wouldn't stay
                a riotous screaming
                protesting...

the mirrors and glasses can't help but falling
the tough and the mindless can't help but brawling
when earth's soul gapes through the looking glass
only pure spirits can protect it....

From Satan to the USA

Dear United States
You’ll soon be at Hells Gates.

I laugh as you cry.
You keep saying why?

The answers are in that Book, you don’t read.
I taught you that there is no need.

That’s okay I’m as crafty as they come,
First, I made you numb.

That...

i didn’t steal your sun
i stole your smile last night, when
my dreams kept you busy with dreaming, for a
faraway land,
where people grow smiles in the rain,
and love’s born from lotus mad,

now your smile shines on my lips,
is honey for the nordic bees,
uplifts my eyes into...
