I'm really, REALLY tired. 

I'm grasping at straws. 

I've lost myself. 

I'm alone so often,

I've got nowhere I can go.

I try to talk to people but I know I'm just bumming them out. 

I didn't...

silly silly rick santorum
demanding that pornography go away
so that christians can pretend like
their way is the only game in town
(ban pornography, ban same-sex marriage,
ban sugar, ban television, ban books, ban
conversation not concerning “god” or “jesus,”

If everything is infinite,
And space goes on and on,
Then why will our reality,
One day, simply be gone?

In an infinite paradigm,
Should finite things exist?
They’re mutually exclusive,
Opposites on that list.

And yet, the laws that we perceive,
Are finite...

If only I could vote for you, crazy Donald of my youth, after watching tonight’s horror show of possibilities with no truth. Here comes Zero-gun control, no tolerance, no respect for all, for in the...

 through the dark deranged portals you evoke fear
 filled with angelic fervor on it's textual base
 yet we dig much deep then ever before

Roses and the world’s fading into black 
Every tear that falls from your eyes,
I set a wish aside for you 

As I start to notice
the color of roses 
growing brighter every year
I watched you fade...

it's 12 am and i cant breathe
my mind, flashing through images and moments and pockets of space and time
a restless energy
a redemptive ache

sitting across from each other
at what was once a comfortable table
in what was once a serene atmosphere
two individuals who were once so close
have now been drawn so far apart &
despite the amount of years they’ve...

The frantic soul along loose lines the roll of the dice
Along with its frustrated alibi taunting for control
An illustrative look at the passing eagle flying in the air free

Do you think a person’s past, 
defines who they are today?
Or merely small chapters in life,
with choices to portray?
Can irrational behavior be excused, 
by a mental diagnosis?
Or should one be accountable.
for a psychological neurosis?

What am I, what is my role or purpose
does it even exist a connecting between us. 
My stampede of memories to your whimsical thought
the many lessons a life of disappointment taught. 

A bond made nothing...

A displaced soul drifts lackadaisically on a lukewarm tide
Of drugged confusion
Eyes blind and ears plugged with her own bewildered ramblings
She does not know where she floats
Nor how she came to be there
Her mind is a...

an innocent fawn caught in the headlight.      ...

It really is a sweet device,
for we invoke it often as ally
or enemy--grasping at straws
to place it in its proper pigeon-hole
and thus to clarify intent.

And history is on its side!
The noble statesman, saint
and businessman have...

amidst the resistance
we chose to go the distance
heavy hearts out on the playing field of life
one day at a time and you will climb
at times sublime
for that of the blind

While you are trying to acquire your millions
I am trying to build our foundation
You are so focused on your plans
You seem to forget about ours
Seem to forget about me
I try to stay positive

David & Goliath

And it came to pass that Philistia
and Israel waged war between them in
the Valley of Elah where a compromise
was agreed to, (one on one) with the spoils of war
forfeit to the victorious.

And so,...

In cold winter air, I tread to the beach 
Looking for things that I think I need 
A shell of some kind, washed up jellyfish 
To the creaky shack, looking for things I missed

bullets fall like rain
i cannot escape from this war.
a mine explodes nearby,
smoke fills my lungs, choking
the very life from me.
i see my mother standing
tears in her sapphire eyes.
she begs me to stay in America

The music played so loud 
drowning her thoughts 
her tainted face the only 
testament of her battle 

grasping at straws 
just to have something to 
hold onto 
as the blissful feeling 
starts to disappear -...

There’s no need to talk anymore
I am talked out
There is a silence of tongues
And the drinks hang heavy in the air
Old men on benches
Watch the town die
From the boarded up windows
To the grocery shutdown
