To Tantalize with Skirt
To Jiggle and Giggle
To Romanticize and Flirt
Too Fickle with Wiggle
To Fantasize 'bout Skirt
No Jiggle and Giggle
To Dehumanize and Hurt
No Pickle to Wiggle

We walk with the information of
quasars and the discernment of protoplasm.
Each day we live and die, each day our tears run dry.
Information is the rubble, the clutter of our civil war.
Reality becomes disposable when fact and
fevered fiction are made coequals,
when the rampancy of lies massacres the truth.
Each day we live and die, each day our tears run dry.
Propaganda walls our gated communities, our guarded cells.
So many concoct frightful conspiracies from techno-witchcraft.
So many dehumanize and scapegoat from delusive threats.
Each day we live and die, each day our tears run dry.
So many are captive here to the craven complex of revenge.
So many swallow here, the mollifying Fentanyl
of a cruel and brutal state.
Clinging to the demagogue, no one is free.
Somewhere in the brownout, is there a beacon?
Somewhere in the nightmare, do we awaken?
Each day we live and die,
each day our tears run dry.

Emboldened by whispers,
echoes curdled in algorithmic rot—
electronic voices hiss their sermons,
venom soaked in coded politeness,
dripping beneath polished avatars.
Hate seeps
through curated feeds,
a slow infection
wrapped in memes,
seducing the young,
the angry,
the aimless—
until ideology feels like identity.
A curriculum of fear
streamed without consent,
etched into abandoned timelines,
where education once should have stood.
Now, only digital ruins remain—
barren soil
where thought might have grown.
This isn’t chaos.
It’s code.
Written to polarize,
to radicalize,
to dehumanize.
They teach with silence,
they preach with fragments,
they baptize with blame.
Their design is surgical—
not to inform,
but to fester.
Not to question,
but to conquer.
To crown the cruel
and cast the rest as fuel.

I howl with wolves I’ll be back somehow
My heart bruised like the sky that hour before sunrise
When sparrows find yoke in the universe
But blossom as copper in the Apple trees
Filling the cold morning with jingling keys
The pond steams like coffee
This early blurry April moon in the fingers of Oaks
Is mine
Here in my backyard in my sky
A moon can be yours too I understand
But that is your moon a different stone to throw
Down your own well
I moaned to the universe
And tempted to depoliticize dehumanize dephilosophize
The Son of God
But that was a mistake
The battle made Him more so all those things
So I made Him just mine again
My salvation
In the quiet mind of my birdcage
Door set ajar
Found peace
In the infinite purity of in-between.

All I need is a heart cold as steal
Take away anything that makes me feel
Take away the love I need
The thoughts that plant their seed
Dehumanize t he man I am today
Not to care what anyone has to say
Be a cold empty shell
Take me from this hell
Feeling cold as ice
Not to be so nice
Is what I want
Then my soul you cannot haunt
Make my love die
Never to again to make me cry
Give me the soul of the dead
No feelings of dread
Making me afraid to live .
For this my soul I'll give

I used to be predator, wanting to save prey.
Recognizing my own rescuing personality in them.
Understanding their sorrow, which they cover up with mirth.
I could see the light in their eyes was diminishing.
Their soul was no longer their own.
I wanted to save them from their predator, usually a narcissist.
Of course, it was futile.
A narcissist is ruthless.
They see us as objects, dehumanize us.
I used to be a predator.
I expanded all kinds of energy.
Trying to rescue others
because I had once upon a time rescued myself
being a natural prey.

How to rehumanize the dehumanized?
That is the crux of the problem.
A perplexing question.
A philosophical quandary.
Let’s not dehumanize them in the first place an eight-year-old suggested.
What does a child know?
Said one of the ninety-year old -decision makers in the senate.

The NBA was on strike,
Everyone is in the fight.
Racial injustice rages on,
It’s urgent for change to come.
Black man paralyzed with seven pops,
No actions are taken to make a stop.
White man gets the special treatment,
While black people are viewed a threat.
Majority of people say overreaction,
To a society issue that causes reactions.
A group of people are being scrutinized,
America hears black and thinks uncivilized.
America thinks it’s right to dehumanize,
I can’t comprehend the reason why.
America represents hope of a better life,
Ironically, they justify taking black lives.

They say that at 5:00 p.m.
the dead come back to life
Were they actually dead --
Do they really revive?
Also, that sleep is a taste of death
Pray tell, is it?
Does it taste like death?
We don't know what Death is
We imagine it as best we can
Anthropomorphize it, as we do G-d
We dehumanize, demystify -- Pity, that!

Some act as though a person completely loses their humanity after they let you stick your in them, what a deranged way to be to dehumanize people, devalue people because they gave into a primitive urge just as you did , but because they have a they're no longer human to you after the act has been done ,you view her as a harlot as, a whore who has no value anymore, what does that make you when you did the same as she, I would cover my ears instead of listening to this hypocrisy, this mental atrocity ,she's not the atrocity, she is still whole and priceless even if you view her as a worthless hole,that mindset just reveals that inside you is a empty hole, dark cold soul, lacking humanity so this is why you can't see it in others, if you had to face that reality you would shudder

Throw me in a lions pit to feed your sickening desires
Tie me down with barbed wired tear my teeth with pliers
Chain me up by my feet to listen to my heart beat
Tear from me what I have left see what makes me tick
Dehumanize me moralize me make it over quick
Remove my heart tear out my bones but never have my soul
Stuff me in your closet where everybody else is stored
Await the day the door breaks down to give you what is yours
In the end we seal our fate but to what extant
Hiding away the lies pushing them away
To find the truth in which you try to set aside
Grab a spade unbury the lion bones, underneath is where it resides
When you do we wait for you and everything you hide
Unsuccessfully ironically you sure as hell have tried
Answer the knocking at the door the truth is all inside

What if My son was gay? Would you lead him astray? Would you force him to believe those things that society might say? Would you be there for him on graduation day? Or would you have pushed him away, a long time ago, like you believe "HE" will on judgement day? What about YOUR ********! Is that OK? Do you dehumanize yourself in the same way? What about Your bastard child? Is That OK to say? I hate your arrogance and hypocritical way! Do you believe that "bible" was written for you in any way?? Constantine was the devil, and you choose to follow him anyway! Think for yourself and believe what they say; love is an emotion once face-to-face. Last time I checked, love conquers hate. Either include all people OR stay the hell away!

Strangling Thistle
Puff grey smoke strings pollute the sky.
Dull minds remain deaf to vigilant whistle,
distracted by the flower of strangling thistle,
while time silently passes on by.
Youth in a basement getting high.
“I'm just doing my job” says an official.
Thirteen percent towards government missiles.
Dehumanize, and silence opposing cries.
Lift up your brother consumed by hate.
Stand your ground in moral conviction,
Natural law will rain from above.
Free will forever dancing with fate.
Now is the time to change our condition.
Choose to create from a place of love.

The "IZE" have it
We the people try to Rationalize
the choices we make with compromise
Let's be honest we tend to idolize
and we rarely do apologize
Are rights we try to exercise
to demonstrate and vocalize
But I have come to realize
that this is all a big disguise
Government with power to terrorize
tear you down and demonize
Smile while they vandalize
you freedom, your rights oh,but don't criticize
"For the people" as they dehumanize
baby's in the womb who are being penalized
because maternity clothes are hard to accessorize
It's my body!! We should empathize
Stand up, speak up before we are all criminalized
for doing what's right. so we don't jeopardize
Our one true freedom Jesus whom did rise
So come on America open your eyes!!

The war game begins.
You hide the sex behind
the hedge. The power
has gone for sale. Bury
your face in colloquies
for an internal search.
A native pain invades the
mannequins. The fine dust
of lies covers the nudity.
Do you need a war stimulant
to dehumanize the killer ? He
dragged the kid by hair and
shot point-blank. The saliva
uncoils. You start spitting
everywhere and on the face of god.
