I lay to waste
Earth-centered
omnisciently questioning life,
overindulging Anthro-preoccupied
questing enlightened faith
Wasting Anthro-centered
wealthy sacred life,
overindulging Ego-preoccupied
hunting haunted organic lust
Wasting Ego-healing opportunities
for Earth-centered yielding trust,
greedily grabbing for immortal identity
Laying to waste
Earth-centering communion
omnipotently questioning mind re-imaging life
unconditionally extending
body remembered love,
overindulging Anthro-monopolized
power questing infamy
Caste abolishing
Anthro-decentering
wealthy organic EarthTribe
healthy sacred life.
when speaking the truths
is called " bad attitudes , "
arrogances
or egotisms,
remember that some victim players
are on different stages.
A selfish yes
An unkind no
Blind eye to pain
Deaf to insane.
Pray how
does one retrace
for to find that forgotten face
to touch that trembling hand
the soft unheard to hear
the blank unseen to see.
Pray how
does one unchain
a lifetime of links serpentine...
I hooked to me
me addicted to I
I for me
and me for me.
All the ways and all the days
all of the all of everything
that always be
just for me.
Nothing embarrassing have I ever done
Nothing stupid or silly under the sun
Never my own horn did I toot
My perfection you can't dispute
I've out lived everybody who could tell anyone
Men & women have nothing in common,I'm told.
He was raised to believe in that lie.
Conditioned into suppressing his tears.
As an infant,he was allowed to cry.
A history I refuse to believe.
Born with the curse on all women.
I'm paying for the sins of Eve.
Judged for my body instead of my mind.
I overcame lies told by an ex lover.
Described as a vixen,rather than kind.
I won't be enslaved by another.
A history I refuse to believe.
Born with the curse on all women.
I'm paying for the sins of Eve.
When I defended the meek.
He said my emotions were haywire.
Making my views appear to be weak.
He says I'm inferior,he is a liar.
A history I refuse to believe.
Born with the curse on all women.
I'm paying for the sins of Eve.
