The World's Most Destructive Chemical Experiment
The feel of a touch,
the sound of a cry,
the joy of hello,
the sorrow of
goodbye.
We entangle, we combine
we fall apart -
but in the end,
we get up and
we try, try, try,
to form a connection
that doesn't end in absence.
It all ends
for those already absent.
Be present,

Your girl forever
Dress a girl a letter,
Printing numbers on her back.
Buy her flowers,
Give her powers,
Wrapping poison round her neck.
One day she’ll leave you,
She’ll deceive you,
And you’ll be better off dead.
So, you won’t get far with that head
Unless you break your neck
And yet you still ask to the sun
If the moon has won,
If the war has really ended
Or

Destructive Solitude
One foot stuck in the tar pits of my way,
A fossil forming with time,
Me and my nibbling conscience,
Sinking slowly but it’s mine,
Whispers like razors,
It’s trouble, the way that i’m jogging
Chasing shadows far into the night,
Every step a hopeless confession,
Nothings going save me or stop it,
A runaway rhythm,
The horizon taunts, distant but sure,
But my feet

If you think climate change destructive
As powerful as the forces of nature are,
There will be humans who adapt an survive,
Until balance is restored in the eco-system.
The wind can calm itself,
Water will recede from flooded areas,
New growth comes after volcanos become dormant,
Fires will burn themselves out,
Earthquakes only result in better building techniques,
Ensuring more people survive them,
And even if mankind through

Global Warming
The windows are boarded up in preparation for the storm
A weather event of this intensity is becoming the norm
Global warming continues to find a way to rule the day
For the planet to survive we must all strive to do things in a different way
If we could just drive a little less, recycle a little more,

Self Destructive
I'm self destructive a ticking time bomb
I'm impatient and impulsive with a lot of feelings
Mixed into a delicious cocktail so sweet and creamy
sure does taste good at first but after so many sips of me
I'm too intense for you too heavy on you
now you put me down thinking I'm not good for you

Self destructive wickedness arrested, convicted, and gaoled...

Selective Memory's Destructive Power
Through the fog of time, memories fade,
Selectively, they dance, a masquerade.
They choose the fragments, both light and dark,
A tapestry woven with a heartless spark.
Tenderness vanishes, like morning dew,
Only scars remain, vivid and true.
Forgetting laughter, joy, and embrace,
Selectivity memory breeds a barren space.
A weapon disguised in forgetful guise,
Tearing apart bonds with

Addicted
Afraid of letting go
Destruction I have caused
Damaging my body
Illegal behavior
Convincing myself it’s okay
Toxic life choices
Estranged I have become
Denying the truth
That I am Addicted.

She gathers her child
With switch in hand
To hurt her bottom
Til she understands

Waiting for a crack to appear
