Not a soul in sight, almost deserted, it was 10.00 pm,

Perhaps if I got on a plane, I would see Santa...

Lucky ones

Your pay is to break, to hurt, be bent and stink,
 the bank is your body, selling labor the means.

A wage is a a wave of dread 
	for the very dinner on your plate.

Where would I be without you?

Would I really be on the path that I am now?
Or would my path be a different one
Would I have a straight head on me?
Because it’s easy to fall short...

My broken stories, made her cry.

Blood leaking from my nose, 
A probable prologue to my death. 
And it blows.
The lows, 
Lately I’ve been peaking at my lows. 
A dishonourable rest forever forebodes. 
My heart keeps faking pounds and it shows,...

To His Well-Meaning Friend
Had we but oil enough and gas,
All welfare bill would easily pass,
And we’d be spending hard, I bet,
Without incurring any debt.
You, on the Moon, would keep your bees
And tend to Martian refugees;
And I would sleep...

The Crying Eye Sees
The eye's seen enough 
The heart's beat a lot for the bluff
Of the joyful hope of sorrow 
That’s  promised for every morrow 
By the driver of the land's wealth—
Who's covered the land's breath
Like the...

A forgetting child wake up from the nap, 
Weeping over, dull night where the time flee

But, throughout the ages

So he leaves till last, his trip to the zoo

Small children, they play the game right

Over the years many have gotten ill
This world is rotten still
All about the dolla bills
People often steal
Why does blood always gotta spill?
Do you know how being at the bottom feels?

Where some of the guests are awfully fat,
And others are awfully thin,
Where the average age is a hundred and four,
