Who Am I

I refer back to my descendants with ativistic charcteristics,
Hit the beat with a punchline and regurtitate on it's existance,
Where did Skitzo arrive from, is he a miracle from the Heavens?
Through the mist and the fog, Skitzo traveled to Earth in seconds

But he's not a person, he's a person's soul, and the person's release
Through all betrayal and agony, he walked through Gethsemane
Skitzo's a prodigy, a walking wolf in sheeps unwearable clothing,
Reverse the metaphors, like sitting in the bath while the tub is soaking

The majority of the cuts, didn't bleed blood, they inked lead,
Never scarred up just kept inking until this was no bloodflow in his head
Living brain dead, flowing rhymes more than he flows thoughts,
the Mixed Metaphorical Artist, poetry is the fight that he fought

Indescribable talent beyond unimaginable heights,
Over the rainbow Skitzo rests, while his voices tell him what to write,
Multiple personalaties speak from all different directions,
As an infant he was injected with ink, now he hands out metaphorical infections

Through rhymes I let the fury loose, like a pyroclastic flow
The type of mayhem that turns entire villages to cold stone,
Skitzo lives through me, lives recycled as I bathe in the fountain of youth
I'll live my life, then like a computer Skitzo will reincarnate and reboot

Indeed it's true, the code to his knowledge is undecipherable to the blind,
He's got a magnetic mind, trigger it and watch the Earth and the sun collide
Blinded by schools "education system" what does pulchritude mean to a kid?
Pulchritude is the beautiful techniques he picked up when he hid

Through chain reactions, making transactions with his sight and his mind,
What he writes down on paper proves he's the only one of his kind,
But what kind is that? A poverty struck poetic skate rat?
With a pen as a bat, poetry strikes as hard as a fully loaded gat

Skitzo's cerebrum functions, beyond scientific belief,
The way the I speak, you would think some one is talking directly through my teeth,
Cautious to think, always wary but paranoid at the least,
So through the metaphors, get to know me, learn the language I speak

Twisted Reality

When I step inside your twisted reality ...
this is what my spiritual eyes see,
your soul revealed in it's totality
A scaly skin of self-serving morality ...
you always ask, what's in it for me,
what can you do for me materially?
Got emotional raging volcanity ...
spewing verbal pyroclastic debris,
you say you only speak Pompeiiese
With your serpentine smug urbanity ...
prefer a gated community,
only mingles with high society
Spread suburban mundanity ...
selling cookie-cutter, debt prison housing to families 
with furnishings of faux upholstery
Invest in commercialism inanity ...
everything must be sold is your belief,
even used products with expired warranties
Keep a get-rich-quick mentality ...
you think everybody envies a successful thief,
need only confess to your corporate priest
Suited sharks all have an aggressive vitality ...
eat or be eaten is the mindset to be beastly,
you pick the bones clean with ravenous mendacity
Hiding your lewdness in the cloak of formality ...
giving gluttonous divinations at pagan feasts,
your rented body is the patron jinn of soiled sheets
Cutting all soft hearts with the blade of hard brutality ...
unlock the cages of your rapacious menagerie,
killing souls has been your most primal urgency
Tampered traffic lights creates a mass fatality ...
your hand pushes the button and turn the key,
creating carnage for all to witness your legacy
You pepper life-and-death stakes with vile profanity ...
a seasoned, master provocateur you be,
poisoning the minds with rancid digital obscenity
Rejecting all that is good for humanity ...
cursing the fruit of the life-giving tree,
you rage against the people of the holy
Time to step outside of your straight-jacket insanity ...
the evil that lives within the madness of your psyche
The truth of the cosmos shall consume you utterly

Premium Member Pompeii

In the Grecian bay, of Paradise lost, a slumbering Giant
Does sleep, at eases restless peace.
Beneath thunder mountain's base, across the blue divide,
Exists a bustling sea port, full of culture and tradition.
Beware Pompeii, for natures wrath hovers above thee.
Within safety’s sheltering harbor, the population lies
Completely at fates mercy, as if innocence children, left
Alone to play in the wilderness, without protection. 
Look into the stilled waters, it is a thin pain of glass,
A mirror's image of a grand utopian society,
That's shattered in a tenth of a second by reality.
Here their echoing foot steps, down ancient
Roman roads, voices screams silenced by
Death's gloved hands, striking without warning.
A phantom people frozen in stone, hidden 
Beneath an ashen graveyard. 
Forgotten by posterity, until unearthed exposed
To destiny’s future.
Hell's fire storm unleashed on earth, 
It begins with a quaking rumbling, an eruptions
Mumbling, forecasting a foreboding doom lying
Stirring does the mountain dragon, awaking 
Inhaling, exhaling, releasing calamity’s white
 Hot blaze against Pompeii, with the raw force
Of ten Hiroshima bombs.
A volcanic shock wave felt around the world,
Smokes pyroclastic cloud blinding the sun,
And biting at the global sphere itself.
Catechism's ultimate destructive tidal wave,
Rocks mankind to it's inner most core, 
Leaving at flash points center, nothing alive.
Apocalypses Thunder Dome, a seething fire pit,
From which evacuation’s few survivors,
Become castaways orphans, left to the four
Winds mercy, a nation without a country,
A people of the seven seas.
Behind them are their kindred, memories
Forsaken of flesh and bone, now ashen
 Residue buried alive for all time,
Legacy's tribute to the volcano 
Known as Mt. Vesuvius, and a paradise lost,
Called Pompeii.

The Masquerade

I watch as a rose blossoms in the middle of the spring
The buzzing of the bees, gives me a sense of well being
The smell of the leaves, in the heat of the midday sun
The cycle of nature continues, and the cycle is never done

As I float under the sun, my skin begins bubbling some 
I'm trudging in mud, I visualize deep puddles of blood
The earth bleeds from the core, I retreat stumble and run
I'm asleep, slumbering some, and speaking in mumbling tongues

It's a pyroclastic flow, melting areas of your dome
Where only the chosen roam, in the midst of a broken home,
Adjacent to the mind, and parallel with the thoughts
I'm scared as Hell and distraught, forgotten everything I've been taught

It's a mystical sight to see, an aurora with lights that gleam
Terrified of a righteous dream, so I hide if I might be seen
I'm scared as the lightning blinks, and I wonder if there's a Heaven
I'm hungry to dip my head in, the water and maybe step in

Bathe in the fountain of youth, with every mistake corrected
Justify misconceptions, and learn to stand in oppression
Its a vampiric infection, to drink blood and shed skin 
To be a dead limb, impotent to purpose and kept hid

I'm a dead kid, wielding a mind and a lead pen
My reflection, shatters from hatred collected
And stares at me with no sympathy, like I am the epitome
The realizations hitting me and causing an epiphany

It's easy to voice a change, easy to procrastinate
You could take the time to wash the dishes, but you just stack the plates
If trial and tribulation have caused you to lack in faith
You've tightened the mask on your face, and joined in the masquerade

It's fun to splash in the lake, but it's evident that we drown 
We lose our breathes as we slow down, our body's touching the ground
And we're in the midst of the water, like we're sitting on a cloud
Screaming to be remembered, but nobody heard a sound

Am I Free Yet

The emancipation proclamation of incarceration
 has got me defacing public property, with words like
 don't shoot, or i can't breathe.
     So say can you see by the dawns early blue and 
 red lights, illuminating another crime site.
     Melanin enriched lives carelessly taken from others,
 unknowing today is the last day of life.
     Just another deposit added to the treasure trove 
 of injustice.
     Closely monitored by the blind eyes of authoritarians,
 utilizing legislation of codification with invisible ink.
     Visual images of atrocity captured in the day and the 
 darkness of night.
     The demise of those in custody, reports backed up
 falsely.
     Freedom tarnished by the guise of the guardians 
 of dishonesty.
     Giving deluded delusions diluted of substance
 as truth.
     Confident in the ignorance of the masses, and
 ability to marshal the herd.
     In due course, the end of all things as was 
 is inevitable.
     Willfully, naturally, or by the measure of any
 means necessary.
     Consistent shoves, and pushes and jostling, the
 posterior is against the wall.
     Countless days, weeks, months, years, decades,
 centuries pent up.
     The mantle of oppression shall divide under pressure,
 most abrupt.
     Eruptions of pyroclastic flows from pain, hurt, betrayal,
 slavery, murder, and poverty.
     Ghosts of the cotton fields saying don't forget,
 remember me.
     No longer echoes of a wanted to be forgotten 
 past.
     But a beacon for the future, free at last,
 free at last.
     Dare to dream, to hope, to succeed and pursue
 happiness.
     Epidermal pigmentation no longer judgements 
 catalyst.
     But the road to opportunities for sharing lifes
 differences.
     Only to discover that we are all undifferentiated.


What I See In the Mirror

Every morning I stand in front of the bathroom mirror, witness to the decay of my body as time has gained an equal measure of revenge on me. I want to turn away as I wonder how another huge wrinkle could appear on my sagging ass cheeks while I slept? I know it wasn’t there last night.

There is something inherently unfair about this turn of events. When I look at myself I see the wrinkles extend from cheek to cheek, almost around to my side. I am beginning to think my ass looks more like a section of the great Marianas Trench in the Pacific Ocean; deep and wide.

Both parcels of the trench seem to be collapsing in on the other and not just in a minor way. We are talking about a major Teutonic shift as my ass cheeks slowly press together and not in an uplifting manner. It is not a very pretty sight when I am naked in front of the bathroom mirror and look down at the shifting landscape that are my ass cheeks.  

Even more frightening than my ass cheeks collapse is that my waist has become an expanding volcano with an uncontrolled pyroclastic flow. It doesn’t matter how I position myself in the mirror or what time of day it might be, I can now see the simultaneous collapse of my ass and explosion of my waist; is it possible that opposites attract? 

I have come to the conclusion I have no control over this unexpected turn of events. I am resigned to the inevitable outcome that is going to occur. But, the good news is that I still have all my hair while the rest of my body collapses into nothing more than a faded memory and not a very good one.

Thunder Roars All Around Us

thunder roars all around us
rain has pillaged the Earth in petrichor
trees bend in the wind 
and retrieve their stature
only to succumb to yet another burst
two pluviophile's sitting on the balcony
our conversations are mostly absent 
from these words
you have taught me the gentle conversation
no need to dig into some dictionary
when love's simplicity beckons
yet she is a sponge 
in the language i command
such a lady you are to me
says, what does that mean
i love it when you are a child in hand
i am called to duty
you never bring me to impatience
patience has awarded me beyond my dreams
the jewels i give you dance in your eyes
i just wish, but i cannot go there
the world would only intrude
it is the crown of thorns 
my heart silently bears
your air of innocence is something i guard
a wolf leaps from your shadow 
with deadly intent
aimed at the throat of any violator
the fate of a pluviophile 
lost in the petrichor and you
God must hold a special pity 
for me to be so graced
and i have learned from all of this
it is in the aiding of healing 
we discover each other
the river's course remains unchained and free
love should be rampant lava 
consuming all in its path
a pyroclastic flow that sweeps
two hearts into one
rain praters on while the wind 
tosses badinage amok
as the lightning parries above
we retire for a nap in each other's arms
where the wolf in your shadow
is at rest
paradise enow

Premium Member Fig Leaf

at times the soul gets clenched
in an unspeakable grief
in a demoniac grip, it chokes and wriggles
the pain of being stung by a dozen scorpions
or hacked piece by piece by an axe
tremulous grows the heart, over love that is spent
seeks in vain to revive the joy that is gone
strains to lift the veil that shrouds the soul 
wrestles to come out from the desolate cave of black solitude

the more it struggles to wade through the mess
the deeper it plunges into the morass of despair
clung on talons of excruciating pain, 
wailing a long wail of never being understood

the mind goes berserk
whirling and churning. 
anytime the volcano might erupt,
emitting  pyroclastic cloud   
with the asphalt lava spilling out,
blowing life with its violent breath.

yet, have succeeded in putting on 
a merry visage during day
laughs with the laughing crowd 
but retires at night to the solitary cell 
to release, in agonized sighs, the stifling anguish
and soak the pillow in a flood of tears

how long can one seek to hide oneself
in the cover of vapid cheerfulness…..?
why try to save the face when there is no face to lose?
sure the fig leaf will one day fall off
to stand in stark nakedness before the world aghast

Entwine

Choral music heard from afar.
A harmonic response to an inner voice

Through the distance, I see the sunrise.
A primal cord takes life.

Knowing that this is a maze within;
is it more than I can deal with?

The story of life will soon be told.
A structure that will liberate us all; 
that of mother and child entwined 
cast from the empty Ash of time.

A plea for life from those long lost.
Those victims of pyroclastic flow, 
which strike the heart and touch the 
chord values and comforts of life; 
are a new sunset.

Horizons from afar see the nightfall.
Beauty with no disguise brings smiles of sunshine.

Amazing grace life now has.
The twilight soothes.

The end of each day brings rebirth.
Renaissance transformed on Earth with unity in work.
Life interweaves to reconstruct.

We work in the fields.
Bring life from dead soil.

We gaze at the heavens and wonder what life would be like.
Would there be as much strife if we lived on a world in Orion?

A status thus formed that brings liberation to our world.
We stand amongst the saved embracing a salubrious aura!

Mushroom Soup

Above our heads that cloud

Mushroom shaped death

With a pyroclastic promise

Of incineration leaving

Nothing but our shadows

That we can only hope

Carries upon it no pain

No suffering as we just vanish

Along with most other

Life and species on this planet

And a nuclear winter

Lasting for many long years

But with no one to mourn

No one to shed a tear

I take no joy in spreading fear

But have no faith in those who rule

I will take no pleasure if I am right

As humanity succumbs to eternal midnights

No ringing of church bells

No tombstones

Over which to dwell

A thousand years from now

The planet will heal

And with no human species

This earth will grow very well

In time nobody will even know

Or be able to tell

That the miracles known as human beings

Here used to dwell

As we will be a myth

But written in no books

And told in no stories

For they like us will fail to exist.
