I only really wanna get higher....

our consumerism
an insatiable hunger
driven by some need
possession of goods defines
societal sense of wealth...

Darkness
A locus for expression of tears
Muffled thoughts grow vociferous
Suppressed emotions arise uprighteous
Societal demands and self interests lock horns
only to be put to rest before dawn...

Sickness incredulously slipped the noose
wormed its way past healthy constitutions
and lodged spear like into Adams’ rib

Tenaciously Life held back 
marshalling the frontline
lymphocytes funneled nutrients
from Mother’s soup
into the societal fray....

what I wouldn't give to erase
from the earth’s weary face
all that is wicked and base:

warmongers and evildoers,
pre-emptive troublemakers,
rapacious, societal leaders,
crooked empire-builders;

then maybe peace may stir 
and finally reign…forever....

Dirtiest of men in the cosmos 
Is not that hater of cleaning fluids
Ring-leader of genocide he is not
Tiger-leader of a nation he is not
Irritating witch in society he is not
Earnestly rich burglar he is not but
Smack traitor of societal virtues
The corrupter of the young is dirtiest...

Corrosion within a hobbling democracy
Altruism died along side a Calvary king
United we stand divided we'll get mauled
Severe stratification at the political ball
Time bomb attached to societal tumors
Insidious forces lurking about a white room
Caucuses are in the teeth of the 666 beast...

If we lived in a state
With no societal contract
Formal laws, constrained movement
or expression

Would that bring out
a hidden harmony?
or would humanity
debase and debauch
having no recourse
to reward and punishment?

Would we still exist, love, and share joy?
With no social control or design?...

If during a meal, I put a finger in the gravy 
and begin to write with the gravy,
am I being creative and philosophical
or just being absurd?

Am trying to read about this technique,
perhaps, a revolt to societal norm?
Philosophers seem to have an answer,
well thought out

 I'm simply sloppy!!...

interpersonal
social 
emotional
masquerade 
dance 
impersonate 
socially 
acceptable 
norms 
play the 
part not 
so well 
the mask  
always seems
to fall off 
the disguise 
always seems
to rip apart
always seem
to lose the 
game of 
societal
charades 
that we play 
every single 
day...

Today decided to
Play hooky from 
All responsibility
Took a mental health 
Day away from the hubbub
Of the societal rat race
Took time out to set back 
And take a lode off my tired feet
Took a day out of the busy week to 
Take a step aside along the road 
To stop and smell the flowers
That we often take for granted...

Buring eyes of my contempt,
please take notice of my hint,
of your glares I wish exempt,
away from your coloring tint.

Let me forget paying your friendly rent,.
Confine me to my nest.
In societal dues, I'm spent,
leave me to solitary rest.

All your social circles make me weary,
I just bide until my sweet solitary....

Listen to poem:

Storms of Normalcy 
David J Walker

Choose your form of
Insanity and
Embrace it

Lace it up like
High-top boots
Lose your view of 
Normality 

And the maladies 
Of societal norms
There will be 
Storms

There will be visions
Of a different future 

That only you can see
When you weather the 
Storms of normalcy...

She, life, is for living her, 
not for thinking her,
you have to forget yourself,
gliding in personal and 
societal  avenues, 
acting and reacting 
attracting and rejecting 
forgetting where and when 
was the start 
and where and when
it's the end. 
Live it like it's eternal,
die tomorrow but today 
plan what to do
the day after tomorrow....

He hates the sessions
The therapist
Desperately trying
To have him conform
To the accepted
Societal mold
Yet
He chose his path
A long time ago
Now
They deem him 
Broken
Yet
Time and again
He has to bend over
Betray logic
To accommodate 
Now
The result is an
Hairline crack
He can feel 
The pressure
Building up

Girls just wanna have fun





In name of culture and religion
when societal discipline suffocates,
Subtle souls gasp to breathe for freedom,
yearning to live their life to the full,
to cherish and unfold His veiled treasures,
Girls just wanna have fun !

At times
when you
don't want to
participate in a
societal function
you leave the scene,
wander through
the canyons, crevices
and hallways
of illusive deviations
pondering the ways, means
of your survival.
You don't intend
to be antisocial
but sometimes
you can't find
the essence, purpose
of all the distractions
that others consider vital
to their being....

Don’t kill the light’s
Too much is left on the table 
Too much.
To leave

My life, the greatest fable.
Losing touch – lost belief
Tragic origins serve no excuse

Defended Resisted
Stubborn and vulnerable 
All charity I refuse.

Another victim of societal abuse

Not willing – or even able
To see clearly 
To unfetter and choose.

End.

This cold world, with cold games
a lot they stole, people have lost their control
More then self
killing children’s mental health

Media, the "in and now"
we rely to teach our children how
never leading by example; with self-appraisal
rather filling the next shot double

Will these children of the meek ever be free? 
From this, self-loathing transmittal societal disease....

Evanescent parlays

of paradoxical exposure

expecting perceivable combustion,

hindsight still plays unavoidable heady games

aftermath perception lives up to mean arithmetic


Specificity of angular slants contrasting circles'
spatial commitment to conformity's configurations - -

square pegs will never fit societal a$$holes...

A being, whole and complete.

Not on this earth to be your treat.

Not for one second, to fulfill. your
perfect expectations.

Never browbeaten to meet societal
recriminations.

These clouds, ominous and forever
flying!

Blustery winds, without kindness.

A hurricane demanding that you be other
than you.

Until the very second of your dying!

The people are free
Free to think
Free to live
Free to follow their dreams
Yet the young minds are forced
To follow the dictates of their ancestors
Moral policing gains new heights
The fledgling thoughts get stifled
Emotions are burnt
At the stake of societal pressures
Young nubile bodies turn to zombies
Will there be an end to this terrorism of judgment
When will this murder of thoughts cease?...
