Society's Words
Their words are used as weapons 
Shot from the mouth
To my head
...It has left me injured for months

Power Structure
A tall white wanted some coffee
So he sent his guards off walking 
The guards came back
With some vodka and craps
Now the whites no longer have handle...

Sheath Your Sword
Hold your peace
Let the violence cease
Sheath your sword
Draw no more blood!

Let it off with a shrug
Give him a hug
If to Peace you belong
She shall make your days long!...

For What
Healing from the desert storm-
Mouth parched and bleeding
For what
A simple thought: run and lost,
Or the sun upon the first frost
Never will it all lie still,
Until the last fish’s gill...

Cursed Korea of the North
Once the green land of morning calm and high serenity
Soon waved the blood red flag, stained with the false words “We will soon be free”
Now a grey, barren mountain swallowed by Yaldabaoth’s sea...

the news breaks
the world breaks down
the sky screams savagely
the war dogs maul mercilessly
the raging rubble bounces bitterly 
the apocalyptic horses gallop giddily
the rotten roof caves in catastrophically...

Come
Come now lets all break feast
And eat wholeheartedly
To the sound of dying peace
The music of guns
The churning of time
This is the difference between you and I 
You rush to help
But I see no use
So I sit back and enjoy my youth...

Selfish World
People inflict pain on others 
just for the sake of their 
satisfaction and happiness..

They live according to their wish 
and self-contentment
ignoring other's desires..

Hmm..
Yet, living in this "Selfish world" 
is mandatory..!!

Life
We are all chess pieces,
in this game we call life,
only trying to move forward,
through all the strife,
jumping on those,
who get in our way,
only pushing forward,
as we play,
be number #1,
we've always been told,
even as our hearts,
grow weary and cold....

Humankind
Independent laws, moral tune
Reserve applause, infernal loom
Creator clause, fatal monsoon

Turn tables above, summer bloom
Floweth love, beguiling June
Flying dove, impeccable croon

Abundant crime, seasonal doom
Existential times, big ‘to-do’
Blunt shaped line, resulting kaboom...

10-313 Untold
He saw me I saw him
We leaped for greatness
But we were earth bound
He surpasses my hopes
And shatters my dreams
I feel darkness in him which I bravely embrace
He’s my hope my shield my love
My undivided trust
With him
I feel that I can reach bounds and mounts of greatness
So why do I still feel so empty...

Dawn of Realization
Earth still stained by man
  churned into barren lands.

Blood thirsty for resources
  leaving most little choices.

Their greed and deceit
  these conflicts repeat.

They continue to dominate
  using many others as bait.

They don't understand humanity's concern
  but a thermonuclear war from shall learn....

Premium Member To the Games the Children Play
there they sat—
four cultures
of american children:
cheerful innocence
of the world
outside—

their greatest challenge
the card game
they played:
winning was
of no chase
just getting to the end
of the carding race—

if only they could be
the leaders
of tomorrow’s
world:

peace
would be satisfied
and war
a misunderstood 
card game…...

Price of Freedom
An old man once said:
Freedom isn’t free

As a child, I grew up,
never understanding those words.

As an adult, I learned,
the tree of freedom is watered with blood.
I thought we had paid enough.

But as trees wither without water,
so does freedom without its tribute.

As such I hoped,
we could pay with sweat and duty.
But once again-we choose red......

The Invisible Enemy
The sound of silence all around,
heartbeats quicken every day,
life isn't fair,
some will perish
many will languish
few will be spared.
The invisible is here,
it is now,
and it is real.
There is no running away,
no escape route to take,
all heading into the unknown.
Only time will tell the truth,
suffering will show the cost,
death will be the price...
How many?
How long?...

Colors Fade
With every war man has waged,
the countless banners he displays.
You cannot kill mankind's will, 
his bombs, bullets, or blades.
It's his will to die seeing his prided flags wave, 
fear not the sorrow his death may bring.
All the dead men's colors,
live to fight and see another day.
Descendent banners gladly raise,
and his kin like fools still cling,
to that which must, and will fade away....

The Forever War
In the Bible it states, that no one should hate.
Yet people still do anyway.
Senseless wars with open doors,
for the Devil's work and play.
What happened to hope? Is it wasted on dope?
We were all born given a name.
Children are dying, families are crying,
yet all we do is blame.
Not a soul is lost, without a cost,
We all have a purpose here.
To pretend to be blind, you will only a find,
a world you have made to fear....

We Need Better Monsters, Part Ii
...Wait, what’s that you saw on the news?
They’re taking kids down to drag shows?
Teaching them sex in second grade,
when such things their minds cannot know?

Trafficking them to billionaires,
who’s appetites are quite depraved,
while claiming they’re the moral ones,
that all future paths they will blaze?

Those are the monsters we have now,
the cretins that hide in plain sight…
I think I’d prefer vampires,
that would be an easier fight....
