They laughed at our painA circus act
A puppet
A clown
When you think of these you think of a
Performance
Or even entertainment
You think of
Comedy
You think of
Jokes
You think of
Laughter
So what happens When you become the butt of the joke
Where they are not laughing with you
But at you
Not because you're funny
But because of what's being done to you
Oh you don't know
Well...

Of Killer Whales and MenI'm born to kill. My name betrays
brutality in each grim ton.
I'm all my moniker portrays.
I'm born to kill.
But can I stop what I've begun
as my great appetite obeys
a blood urge? Can it be undone?
Will once I learn to change my ways?
Will I break through to see the sun,
so, my genes won't say all...

Sanctified in SinCalm entity
entered in disguise,
silence before the scream,
walked in flesh and clotted blood.
No empathy,
no sympathy—
only rage and a ticking bomb.
Each slay, barbaric despair.
Each pulse, a metronome of fate.
Each breath, a ticking alibi.
Invasion. Foul play.
Mind occupied,
inquiring around—
an art of silent prayers
no one understands.
Lucifer commands, all in delusion.
Garnished trophies to remember the names.
No fumbling, no rambling—
only mind-twisted monsters,
carved...

Birds Of A Feather
Is it a gaggle of geese
as the sky turns red
or skein of ducks
flying overhead instead
into the wild blue yonder
and as the crow flies
it's not a murder
nor a tidings of magpies
there's more than one
(for sorrow)
the question I did surely ponder
as they flew into the setting sun
with sparrows I have no quarrel
and yet with the wisdom of...

my inner voice
Be a still shadow when the void is
smeared
onto concrete walls.
The void—
a deafening drone—
devours shadows that dare speak.
It closes in, fast—
in my head it whispers:
Join us. You are
hollowed enough
to blend in without fault.
I sit still—
because I was told:
If I move—If I shiver—
I become the smeared void....

The Day My Friends Went Insane
They were my gentile friends, ones I could count on
They stood by me when times were tough
A pep talk here, a couch to sleep on there
They kept me from falling through cracks
Year after year, we shared the cheers and the tears

They Say We Jews are Afraid
They say we Jews are afraid
that no one 'now' will come to our aid
Murder of Jews in America is multiplying
more and more hate crimes, innocents dying

Yorick 'tis Not, Alas
Tho' not with a dagger in the library
nor candlestick in the conservatory
someone done the dirty deed
and yet of bodies none were found
perhaps the evidence had been concealed
interred deep down underground
so no one's doing time
it was eventually revealed
for the heinous crime
of thuggery and skullduggery
terrible as it may be
where the skeletons are buried
only the gravedigger knows
and after...

Your DeathYour Death
You died way too soon
Sleeping peacefully on an October eve
The night was too quiet
Then they came
Hunting down people who harmed no one
Shooting them again and again
Men, women, children, and even babies
It seemed that no one was safe
Awoken, all you did was sit up on your bed
The shots echoed through your house
One by one, each...

Murder in the first degreeI can feel it crawling underneath, underneath my skin today.
Why should I even care now? its murder in the first degree.
You, you're not the person i thought you claimed to be.
why should i even care now? Its murder in the first degree.
Now i can hear it calling for me. From the land of makebelive.
why do...

sugarcoatchunks of dirt mingle with the bread.
cinnamon wafting in the wind.
a house of sugary bliss,
a promising deal of sweet paradise.
shoveling savories like a last meal--
bellies rising like dough,
suddenly shoved into a scalding scene.
outsides on fire,
insides igniting--
charred little children,
burnt sugar lingering on their tongues....

Blue RoseI wonder, Little Eddie, hypnotized,
can it be true you felt no pain at all?
Ten years of age, a figure formed too small,
and that poor Roadster, a gift you so prized…
How could your brother have so despised
your car? to pop its tires,—and on the wall—
smash it, scratch it, do everything to maul
that toy.—Is it true, you...

Meat is MurderFrozen by their artificial sun, all our training taught not to run.
Monstrous figures pour from the trees, deafened by screaming tread and allies pleas,
Would this not be done if you held the gun?
Surrounded by the fallen dead, just waiting for your dose of lead.
Our Earth a canvas, stained in red.
We march, we fight, we die...
