Premium Member Eaten By the Earth

I tried to eat the world
But it caused me stomach pains
The bones of the lost are all that remains
It was flavored with deceit
With a coating of honey
The rotisserie went round and round
It was powered by money

I drank from the rivers
As they began to flood
Fish no longer lived there
The waters had turned to blood

The grain from the fields
Had long ago blown away
The once fertile soil 
has turned to clay

Fruit from the trees
Lay rotting on the ground
Fists on my chest 
I began to pound

We once had a garden
A paradise on earth
With our greed we destroyed it
We didn't understand it's worth

So I take another bite
Trying to get my share
Empty promises
With no nourishment there

The world bites back
Earthquakes our demise
Hurricanes and fires 
The ocean waters rise

Just like the dinosaurs
We'll be extinct at last
Sooner than later
We will be part of the past

Chop Up a Chicken

Anti-social at its finest
I'm Johnny Unitas
Nobody’s highness
I hate drugs
I hate when people rely on highness
Yes weed heads turn into junkies
My crush when I was 16 is now a flunky
Lord please lay your grace on Paul and Chunky
Chopin chickens
Using Noonie's kitchen
No the chicken isn't baked, fried, or rotisserie
It's the chicken for the vixens
My brothers missing
To be real with you my brother died
Heroin left his brain fried
Heroin left me without an Erik
Oh he's in a better place
That response is generic
Do you see what I see?
Maybe you need a dosage of carrots
Thank god for friends Jade and Jalyn
They deserve a merit
Slangin chickens makes more money
Than my 2 jobs put together
Rashadtnae changed my view on heffers
I'm clutch but clever
I can't stand to lose another person to drugs
So ties will be severed
It's not whatever
I take it serious
The only way I can talk to my brother again
Is in spirit
Choppin chickens
Piano flippin
Everybody is either selling or doing drugs
But I wanna be different
21
21
I hate the sun
But I'm Angie's son
Rocky couldn't handle the responsibility of being a mom
So the state took her kids and let her run
Having my name in your mouth must be fun
Having my name in your mouth must be tasty entertainment
I love when people hate me
It’s anti-love so how could I hate it
Anti-social
21 forever
I am hopeful
Anywhere But Here
But Louisville is all know
I love the locals
I love Sharleeta
Love wouldn't love without hoes and cheaters
Lord Jesus this world
It's so drug ridden
Chop me up before I chop a chicken
Does it look like I'm playing?
Does it look like I'm kidddin?
Kidding around with heroin
Is how I lost my older sibling

Premium Member An Exercise To Release Writer's Block

Suddenly September reveals itself
steel grey clouds and dreary rain; 
it’s twelve o'clock, but the sun is hidden.
I lean against the damp deck railing
a Brown truck’s backup horn pierces 
the distant din of traffic, but at least
it isn’t one of those damned drones. 

Too wet for the Hibachi but 
the propane grill will work.
Chicken roasted on the rotisserie, 
beans, late summer corn and 
apple crisp with vanilla ice cream.
I can taste it now.

A feast for the return of 
a non-prodigal son, briefly back 
from the Arctic before he’s off again
this time to Berkley, leaving us alone 
again but at least there won't be leftovers.

Instagram Esteem

Virtual peace is a tempest
Filter flipped image betrays
Surreal people can tempt us
Validity is a mirrored maze

Fake befriends us flimsily
Roller coaster emotion cued
Midday in minutes celebrity 
A million likes acrewed

Instagram's grimy agenda - 
Tempting tid bits to imbibe
Sponsor is content moulder
Trends with which to abide

Facile images wrap wanting 
In flashy eyesore cellophane 
White smile wide so taunting 
Sells prettied desires innane

Improved self hovers inticingly
Unscrupulous spruker won't refute
Product spin drips like rotisserie 
Placed tastiest low hung fruit

Bamboozled by the beautiful 
Venommed vast eyed viewers 
Suck insta famous inflated ramble
Screen sheen sugar allures

Heavy

my spirit is damaged
i breathe sorrow and sadness

my heart shattered in pieces 
by the hammer of madness
 
short breaths trying to catch wind 
its impossible catching something so thin

expansion! explosion a chest cavity with a heavy heart
like a dove, i love once until death do us part 

rotating on the rotisserie of reality 
hells fire summoned beckoning my fatality

i care not for the sun sets and sun ups 
enough pain already i'm all done up

tired of tears cranky of crying
rush my life grant me the wish of dying

it's too much pain the memory of her face
how can i forget somthing that can't be replaced??????

Scheaming

She schemin’ 
on the low, 
watch your toes 
acting peachy 
Manipulative ass 
it dont  last do you greasy 
Same crib, same home ? 
Girl im lala You tweaking 
Come get this smoke 
For the dope you too easy 
Check the receipts hah
I play for keeps 
Should’ve known you was switchin’, 
took his side over me 
miss me with the fake love 
Put your mans on a leash
Used to gas me up 
I Roll you up like some weed 
Wana act hard caught till he got caught with vaseline 
I'm too G with the steps, better watch how you creep
I’m your teacher, lil’ jit sit down when I speak
Don’t be mixin’ with my laundry, you don’t clean like me
Look dont say sorry 
Just quick moving sloopy 
Tryna bury all the lessons that my momma taught me
But the pain too loud, even silence can’t stop me
I don’t talk specifics 
That’s like letting them in the kitchen 
Ain’t no stitches I got emblems 
I don’t fold when under pressure 
Turn them over like rotisserie 
How I’m counting all this chicken
Got this white girl gave her flour
Now she acting like she privileged 
There’s no liquor in my system 
All these bars don’t start to twist them 
You ever had an empty stomach 
With running back and fourth from all the stress 
Now I’m blessed with these diamonds on my neck

You Can Feel Them On The Wind



        Umbilical umbrellica of umbral phantanes
"Anjelsmoth Banjitreel Naievae"
These are the spasmodic words you cause in me, 
dare to ascertain in my exotic condition 
of your cusping contain

My darkroom carotodomy gastronomy 
of infrareds and lightwinds, rushing in, 
scouts of wrath seeking the four ends

As you pet pet pet care snap twang, mend 
"your pretty thing"

KarmaSupra-Natural endear- in me how spooning 
feeds bends at my thrashing and gnashing of teeth 
where your purring thickens in my auditorium, 
arouses condition,
echoes in sonar picture perfect verbatim, 
ruins in salvatore partition

Your light-wound 
Is it a seizure, a leash
Tourettes syndrome, speaking in tongues?
What is it called, may I know-
I need a name, give me your true name-
and what aim, what precision archery, 
what kind of game are you hunting?
Bondfires burning in the Valley of the Kings
Stuck Pig, squealing and turned by your spiteful 
rotisserie of baneful spit you leave to dangle 
as an apple on your lips?
Mountain Ram, braving the rocks and the heights carelessly of crash-ward depths?
Did I lock horns a moments long locked 
on a linger and caught in a snare 
of your primal mating ritual of Astuan?
Challenge your beckoning finger
talons of Vulcan Eagle to soar me to the heavens, 
how did we get here? 
Why must I be your icarus of daring -
savage amusement, knowing 
I cannot outstare the burning sun
The melting in your wax museum, 
peepshow coliseum, of the lost, you are the acost 
of my 'verted musement again and again and again

Libra is scaling taxation, purgatory perdeum owed- 
to the shades of Shangri la,
I'd say we, you and me are more than even, 
Nefertiri
Will our clashes ever die?
Our gashes ever sustain or lusts 
or take the darts from our eyes?
We a gleaming the cube and porpoising the rift 
on the lips of
evermore, Eigypsed in the swollen rains 
with chariots on fire

At the steppes of our estranged world, 
of the law, of desire

...You can feel them on the wind...

No Free Lunches
Miracle Man
November 4, 2023

When eggs are free they’re quickly snatched,
But like most things free there’s an effort to deceive. 
Many see Rotisserie chickens before they’re hatched,
and slick advertising makes many others believe.

Many will jump on the wagon if supposedly free,
but most things counted free have an effort to entice.
Only one free thing should be our passionate plea,
our Salvation is free but it too had/has a price.
Jesus Christ

Romans 6:23KJV
For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life
through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Fortress

“Fortress”



‘Love 
is stronger
than death

Belief
dwells in
the refuge 

and the fortress …’ 
she said. 





Back then,
true romance was lost
in the subterranean
frequency

poets, musicians, artists
were crucified publicly 
for free thoughts on how 
it all really was … meant to be

Life and 
freedom

we were all lost
looking for the 
reality in Life 
and its true meaning

Books and lives burned
stories irretrievable
destroyed by all the me too’s 
and you too’s, 

who gallantly 
turned, 

averting their eyes
ignoring all the injustice,
charity their home first, this 
no startling surprise

as the whole world turned
on its rotisserie, over well-done
shreds of self roasted soul
were coming greasily undone

still - 
that one word
called us 
all back in

into our dampening 
what-if-dreams-were-not-dead
songs-to-be-sung, 
stories-still-to-be-written, not hung

it continually
whispered its presence,
its promises incessant 
called us all back in

some of us listened,
others of us considered 
it all some kind of 
freak-filled nonsense

None of us 
truly understood it all
back then, grasped the reason 
for our complex fall

until the last of the fires 
burned out and 
the call was still calling 
all the burning brides in

its true revelation
its meaningful meaning
in the underrated time 
of the great reckoning


(LadyLabyrinth / 2022)

Eaten By The World

I tried to eat the world
but it caused me stomach pains
The bones of the lost 
are all that remains
It was flavored with deceit
with a coating of sweet honey
The rotisserie went round and round
it was powered by big money

I drank from the rivers
as they began to flood
Fish no longer lived there
the waters turned to blood

The grain from the fields
had long ago blown away
The once fertile soil 
had turned to dust and clay

Fruit from all the trees
lay rotting on the ground
Fists upon my chest 
I began to pound

We once had a garden
a paradise on earth
With greed we all destroyed it
we didn’t understand it's worth

So I took another bite
trying to get my share
empty tasteless promises
with no nourishment there

I watched the World bite back
Earthquakes our demise
Hurricanes and fires 
As ocean waters rise

People seemed surprised 
The changes came so fast
Sooner rather than later
We became part of the past

A planet without humans
Skies now crystal blue
The world she survived
By eating me and you
