than the rock that you've lived under
and your mental disorder
you and your mind in your man-made borders

injure your hands
with giving
torture your soul
with compassion
bruise your feet
with gospel journeys
bite your tongue
with preaching
leave your comfort
go to streets
sainthood is there

I doesn’t smoke weed;
I take rhymes and lyrics.
I doesn’t take chocolate;
I eat syllables.

The other day I was angry,
The I was told to spit a haiku;
No,I forgot it was a mono.
Because I loved chewing sonnets.

Bite your tongue to a ballade,
Remember others...Read More

For its better to not get into an argument
Over a silly...Read More

You can go round in circles,
Defining being loving.

Sticking Together

Disconnect all reality
Live by virtue 
In totality
Remain true

	Guided by this energy
	Consuming you 
	Like an allergy
	Don't know what to do

		Lies and deceit 
		Not a part of Earth
		Feeling defeat

			Yet still believing
			If I die young
			Better start achieving
			Bite your tongue

				Reckless abandonment
				Twisting...Read More

That's almost as good as sex, heard someone say
Bite your tongue, you silly, there's absolutely no way
Sex sits at the top
How could you forgot
The steam you emit from your ears screaming “Mayday!”

Victims do retaliate in a set manner of ‘like’---

sour lemons tend to bite your tongue.
Think of the fun of being swung 
remember how it felt sublime?

I'd like you all to keep this under your hat

It's a real mild winter where we're at

Grass is showing in the park cross the way

The sun is shining almost every day

Something's got crossed but complaining I'm not

Last winter was ugly...Read More
