Blood Red Carpet






Melted in the background of the forefront of my mind
 Thinking about all of the thoughts I've left far behind
  Now everything within my head seems so very intertwined
   The asterisk by the questions of answers I'll never find

Interference is what confuses my once solid mental state
 Fear is the illusion that my enemies illustrate
  Unbalanced in tortured abuses that echo and reverberate
   Evidence seems inconclusive but not open for debate

Inhumane acts to humanity just a subject to be tested
 Mind raped in profanity every part they have molested
  Actions of complete insanity why was I even selected
   The power of my anatomy has been tortured and arrested

V2K, silent sound, no touch torture, gang stalked target
   How to fight those who always walk on Blood Red Carpet

RED CARPET

red carpet
of kings and queens
rolled out

it’s the one our grandparents knew

it rolls
one
up
in
a
heap

we struggle to understand
that suffering
and death

are ‘specially seen

in the latter years

i used to be green
i’d hear

the thunder crack of cancer
see the scintilla of light
under
the door

i’d wonder
of it
but not
know

the knowing
fills bone marrow

the scraping
of the bones’
throes

it’s criminal
rolling out the red carpet
to lawlessness

The Red Carpet

I sit rolled in a corner
Almost forgotten
Quietly ignored
Crimson velveteen tufts 
Densely packed
Underlay visible
Obscuring the majesty
Only ever ceremoniously unfurled
When dignitaries visit
The streets I cover
Usually covered in dust
Dirty and dank
Freshly cleaned
To impress and fool
In the fetid air
The tang of fresh paint
Dingy corners spruced
The homeless ushered away
Children beautifully laundered
Flowers lavishly garlanded
Overflowing bins emptied
So when I am laid out
And smart soles 
Tread on my blushing fibres
The illusion is complete
And with my presence
The bare truth hidden
Fleetingly…
Till they have gone
And I am rolled away
Then in my absence
The putrid decay 
Of real life resumes

Red Carpet

Red Carpet
Red hearts of wounded workers

Red Carpet
Red hearts of wounded spectators

Red Carpet
Red hearts of wounded peoples of a country

Red Carpet
Red hearts of wounded poor supporters

Red Carpet
Red hearts of the difficult earning money

Don't walk on the Red Carpet
There is no pride to walk on blood
There is no aristocracy to walk on the wounded heart

Leave; leave the so called red carpet walking honor
Come, come to the humanity, come to the general unity
Understand, realize all by the inside knowledge sheer
Leaving boastful crown come to the common solidarity

I walk the Red Carpet 
to my toilet room
without the TV cameras , lights 
and plume


The Red Carpet

now walking down
what they think
might be called
the cat walk

stopping slightly
pivoting leaning
whispering with
showing off

their latest statement
in religious fashion
what used to be
just one dress

called Sunday's best
designerless with
a woman always
hat headed

or a scarf but now
scoffed on because 
they are liberated 
in mind but

they're eyes 
too blind to see
the book doesn't
agree with what

their modern
beliefs in letting
them cast stones
unfashionably

but sung in a more
modern they hate
song they are
compaired

by the height of
their steeple
as the aisle
to the altar

shifts and alters
uncoordinate 
colors from
regal red

to grass green
but not greener
on the other side
from being eaten 

by
all
the
sheeple

Red Carpet

Cameras delight at each smiling mug
As Movieland’s best strut the red rug,
Then off every tongue
Flow torrents of dung
When speeches drone on, all selfish and smug.

The Red Carpet

A small little cabin,
the size of a garage,
typical natural wood

...over looking mountains
that speak for themselves
their vast greatness.

...lost in day dreams,
meditations and prayers,
coughs and sniffles.
 
I will chatter of mountains
though its all been said before,
landscapes famous like stars 

They are the red carpet
trees stand tall, dressed in dark green
bodies that took years to shape

I'm amongst celebrities
still as cameras flash
I hear the elk call

They appear on the walk
Shy, alert, confident,
afraid you will hurt them

I stay calm not to scare them
the best at their best
I long to approach

but distance kills interest
I go back to the view
and sit with coffee and fudge

the great shadow climbs the view
the cool increases
as I write between phone calls 

Who is better to know?
Oprah, or a mountain side?
...nature gives me more.

Red Carpet

Watching mirror - 
on scarlet lips
- she spreads smile

Red Carpet Grave

im not sure where i am going
this red carpet grave calling
fancier things deny me
of finer things
i cannot be
all these strings pulling me
to a lie called destiny i do not believe
i surely hope the kiss is sweet
forever
the red carpet grave greets me
life lessons
sour sweetness
where else does wisdom lay
venom on its teeth
the aisles of the movie store
where men are gods
watching over victoms
learning how to perform properly
where else does the secret of life lie but in the se4al of fate
of these wisdoms robbed from history
the simpler things we thought we were not recieving
lost in the midst of the red carpet grave calling
calling the million dollar man
by no other name but his own
whilst they call themselves hollywood
by his name alone

Hollywood Red Carpet

this just in
Michael Jackson just bust Heaven wide open
with Farah Fawcett
The pop star Allways knew  how to go in style.
