Room full of people, how could I be lonely?
These days it's harder than ever to find a true homie
I'm trying to keep a grip but I'm losing it slowly

Filling our voids with mediums of instant...

Be not complacent 'bout dire global warming...

Thus spake Zarathustra 
necessitating donning layered clothing
in tandem, especially trumpeting   
being with wise mind and economical
exercising usage of fossil fuel 
completing most tasks 
involving driving automobile

"Soft," New, Parade, just begun, ...

cars and beasts ...

roll down the crowd-filled Street.

All the engines "hum."

All the cylinders "run."

Eyes open wide.

Hearts sink.


Under a rising Tropical sun,

the nearby ocean lies gleaming,

washing across the horizon.

Strange, ... glory...

A decade of growth and decadent boom 
People didn't mention the debt elephant in the room
It was the charge of the bull
Many pockets were full
The search for a higher return was the motivational pull. 

But whilst stocks...

We only talked sanely a few times, 
About how he also had a condition like me, 
Although my dad, who was a pharmacist, when James was small wouldn’t say, 
Obvious as it was that he...

Unanswered calls, in the night she waits

In the night she waits.
Waiting for her knight in shining armor.
A man glistened by loving traits, strong willed, someone who didn't hide lies behind his truthful words.

Too many fish...

Cliche Heaven

Be it as it may I'll try my hand at some clichés
    and address the elephant in the room soon when pigs fly.
It’s a win- win situation, put your game face...

Alien Nation

I come from a place of 
Transformative
Sights
Sounds
Inquiries,
Amour
Tranquility
Reverence

I sought an
Odyssey
Inspired by
The Man on the Moon

I wanted to be 
On top of the World
Like the North Pole
Lifted

Experience universality
Unities versatility

Thought I’d farewell…

When I arrived
My axis
Equilibrium
Shifted

Gravel unraveled
Charred to...

Born passive
Anger born with clashes
With people never indured poverty but act like they grew up in poor  
classes
Screamin clap $hit where in the middle class yo ass sits
My own cousin questioning my blackness
Society already...

Depression is real, but we're told to not talk about it
We're told to "Just get over it" and to find a way to walk around it
We'll get a simple "everything will be okay" and to...

Shattered glass
Awakes the scars on my back
Splitting the seams it seems-
I’m falling out of line.

I was there for you
Through thick and through thin
No matter how big the mess
I was always there 
But was it enough?

You’ve...

Ridding the world of you came at a cost
now I float without color
without virtue

Why can’t I feel my arms? 
what were once extensions to hold me up
don’t provide much when walls aren’t a factor

This place...

My closet’s empty and so am I baby and it’s all because of you
All I have left are memories, a few shirts and some jeans of blue

True beauty defined by that which is isolated 
The loathe for that which is natural. 
An internal abhor, despising her vivacious soulfulness. 
It is the pigment she is hated for
It is the excessive melamine they...

Lockdown Lard

Ok, so let’s address the elephant in the room
And the issue that does loom
That most of us face
Of our exuberant tastes
That has led to …lockdown lard!

Since March, life for everyone has been difficult and...

It’s ironic how those touting tolerance
So singularly lack the trait they tout—
Can a want of self-awareness account for it?
Appeals to reason roundly fail.
Indeed they seem inimical to logic:
They cry “Love!” and “Tolerance!”
While spewing hate and...

The september I met him remains etched in my mind
I sat in class awaiting explanation that never came
One by one minutes rolling by ever so slowly

I surmised he’d been a burn victim
I wondered when it...

If I could sign away a piece of me for a piece of you
Just hand me the pen,
Or I’ll sign in blood!
I’ll sign with anything on anything just to have you.

3 polished oak fans,
Swirling in robotic unison

High maintenance socialites,
Sipping on Merlot fallacies

Lemon yellow coated walls,
Flat,
Like their smiles

Comparisons of dangling Porsche & Bentley keys
A glorified day care center,
Pacifiers included

The muted virtuosos speak softly in hymn dialects.

I am an elephant or Republican I think
After a couple of drinks
If memory serves me I'm pink
When not frolicking on the savanna
Pushing down trees for a snack
I work in a circus act
This place smells like...

...What room is there for merit in
a bubble that’s so ruled by fear?
Any who dares have principles
will be out of work in a year,
the industry is designed to
give only the servile cheers,
tell me, is that...
