Where is your mind?
Is it way out there in the clouds of smoking cigarettes and cigars?

The World has been playing a game

I

Hungry earthworms
Forever entombed in the bowels
Of mother earth
Awake

Defy this asceticism and prostrate
For your ultimate destiny
Lies not in the dogmatic

They do not placate
Those dethroned, deprived spirits
Of...

Didn't like myself more
Back when dates *tried* to score
Now I've let them go, with a smile :)

Never got totally wasted
(Well, didn't like how it tasted)
Just pressured...

And there are those who live by love
Those who believe their perceptions
Should not be constrained or altered

There are some who think belief
Should be guided and dictated
They believe in the...

My mind can’t help but scream from the bloody tales

around in chaos I spin and spin.
Suffering the delusions that complicate the cycle of life,
everything eats leaving only the matter of strife.
Blood red tears that form my complex heart,
suffocating from...

  you know what is and isn’t so;
  yet, ultimately, you don’t.
Chained to the chromium...

Rome the city of roman religion
Religion has no office hours
Religion as a set of...

Back in the mists of time
Were stories sung 
Where minds in thrall by minstrels 
Were held
With tales revealing 
Viscerality and viciousness
The currency of glory and shame.

Pondering about who...

Freezing the hell that danced in my life 
Stopping the activity that...
