The pot is melting...
The 'great melting pot'
This elaborately constructed pot holds a motley of colors and flavors
Once strong and pleasing to the eye, bustling with all of its aromatic juices, flavors, and textures
The great pot of RED, WHITE, and BLUE draws so many, and the few
Indigenous peoples and many others from great and small distances assimilate in this great pot
For a while, the cooking and eating were good, I mean pretty good
So good that still more ingredients desire to be added to this melting pot to bolster the flavor even more
But now, this great pot is disintegrating
Too hot now, is this pot
Too hot with deleterious elements that threaten the constitution of this great amalgamation
The pot is melting
The 'great melting pot'...
It is melting
Amidst your youth, these suited truths
tailored to suit you well
only a few, but none too new
set fire to all your tells
inside your tailored hell
A fiery shroud, has wrapped around
your doubt, set you alight
amongst a crowd, of timid shouts
from the darkness of your night
delight, a dark too bright
Enrapt in flames, a mind is flayed
a cage to lead you home
upon display, your naked stage
was left to bare your bones
by the fire you set alone.
Christopher Pitts/2017
THE LAST OF EARTH
Earth has been taken prisoner, captive, under siege
By snake bankers, the wealthy with their filthy greed
By bomb makers, criminal politicians and all that breed
By soulless satanic demons in their profit-making creed.
God is watching the death of Earth, collecting all the waste
Into one big bundle to rid the earth of dead spirits in haste
Death is coming in self-inflicted ruin with an atomic taste
Revelation’s prophecies to be fulfilled under God’s sanctifying grace.
These are the last days of earth as we know it
Gone will be the dirt and sin, human ruin and all the other sh.t
Earth we will see rebloom again under a new found heavenly refit
New rules and life for man and earth according to God’s law will be writ.
The eternal goodness and abundance of God’s creation
Uncovered from the masking veil revealing bounty to every nation
Rivers purified, oceans sparkling, forests reborn in a new human-earth relation
Air glittering with sparkling light in a renewed sacred natural divine vocation.
A thin and frail
Shield hangs across
The garden gate
Separating their world
From mine.
Still heard and seen
They certainly are
A strange kind.
Wandering
Roaming
Mindlessly
On the other side
In finite lands
Unknown
In any of God’s atlases or plans.
Making noise, living lies
Eating with their unwashed hands
Enormous political pies.
These hairy obese things
Play meaningless games
In purple nights in chains.
F…king in obscene dreams
Twisting through
infernal days
Headless and unashamed.
These raving lunatics, like calling the shots.' On indignation and ideaology
They sure are hot.' And yet they get scared? If any dare..To express Christian

I'm creeping again.
Gaslamp, Gaslamp in me warming
my Chi, sleeping up in the Rum and
left over Whiskey.
Stagnated. I've never been the one
to knock for help, yet here I am.
Here in my mental man,
never rising back.
Scared and afraid of just leaving
a stain, an impact on this Earth.
I need to be calm, nothing more
than the son of beauty upon the
concrete.
Am I making believe,
or does anybody care enough to
caress on my cheek?
Resting me, arresting me,
and then admitting defeat.

Leftism is depraved,
will excuse any sin,
you all remember Epstein?
They were in bed with him.
If it moves they’ll bang it,
and think there is no cost,
wetting their wick matters more
than all the good things lost.
They break down the family,
all that resists the state,
fifty years of this crap
people aren’t doing great.
Thirteen-year olds aren’t virgins,
nineteen-years olds ran through,
and the leftist scum-bags say
it’s “empowering you.”
A woman who can’t pair-bond,
that’s ‘good’ in their sick eyes,
a man who thinks he’s toxic,
because of all their lies,
lost children seeking parents
since their homes were shattered,
no guidance to help them,
that’s why they're so disturbed.
What is the great end result
of this sexual crusade?
The STDs are rampant,
**** now is everyday.
Marriages are not lasting,
if they happen at all,
sexes at each other’s throat,
our children doomed to fall,
All because these damn leftists
said screw without regard,
now lasting misery
is spread out wide and far.
Leftism is corrupt,
abuses all our laws,
if you don’t think as they do
they’ll grasp at any straw
to punish your with charges,
they’ll make it up whole cloth,
then just drag it all out
until your money’s lost.
All the while ignoring
scores of murder, rape, and theft,
done by those they favor,
so do not hold your breath.
Our cities full of homeless,
gang-bangers, robberies,
folks do drugs in broad daylight,
all the businesses flee,
yet they all turn a blind eye,
those deaths do not help them,
but if you’re center or right
they’ll throw you in the penn
for putting memes online,
since they all hate free speech,
lock you up, deny rights,
while ‘tolerance’ they preach.
And always protecting
the crimes that they commit,
the pedo lust, wire fraud,
and other monstrous sh-t.
Values only power,
see the state as might jaws,
they’re enemies of justice,
they’re foes of rule of law.
If I tell you that you can’t do a thing
in the presence of the innocent,
and you rail and squirm
They won’t let us do a thing;
we won’t stand for it!
didn’t you just confirm
that the reason you do a thing
is to do it
in the presence of the innocent?
A fruit fly with nothing better to do
Embedded itself into a honeydew
And laid its eggs in the mushy cavity
Which I consider insect depravity!

-Nights wake-
The night is dead. Longs for absurdity, what’s left is a heart of fire.
The abomination of the fallen. Serotonin left astray. Beg for the long-lost magnum opus. Tear apart Librium. Sheer lust of the requisite. Where are we now?
Deprave the senses. Blind from touch, brail inherently deemed moot.
My eyes close and I see the void. I open them to see the lie.
Tears stream down my face like rivers surface in the Sahara.
A simple one life,
is contrast to the urbanites,
less emphasis on punishments.
Wealthy and powerful people,
create new beliefs and holy books.
Government capitals,
and corporate stocks,
rent heaven and hell.
Pilgrimage of silicon valley,
depicts religious chants.
Clergious environmentalist,
chews street food.
