Feel like strangling the cat when your number isn't called?
In only another bunch more tries, a bundle you MAY haul
No guarantees though
Soon the bank you'll owe
More chance us guys having a baby or a premature withdrawal
Strangling Thistle
Puff grey smoke strings pollute the sky.
Dull minds remain deaf to vigilant whistle,
distracted by the flower of strangling thistle,
while time silently passes on by.
Youth in a basement getting high.
“I'm just doing my job” says an official.
Thirteen percent towards government missiles.
Dehumanize, and silence opposing cries.
Lift up your brother consumed by hate.
Stand your ground in moral conviction,
Natural law will rain from above.
Free will forever dancing with fate.
Now is the time to change our condition.
Choose to create from a place of love.
In the strangling season
There are too many flowers to count.
My loves fall like petals against my ears.
All this undeserved yammering.
Showers of grace.
And here I kick empty buckets
Remembering what never was.
Age wears you like a coat.
It’s always heavier than you think.
So start moving. Be unbridled.
There is nothing around your neck.
I sifted through my insides and decided to wear them on the outside
Just for the pleasure of it
Also to see the reactions of people who are flimsy and easily scared
My spleen is my greatest accomplishment
As it is so iridescent and pulsating
have you seen inside-out reversed eyeballs before?
It's a very introspective moment
I also decided that I don't want to pay for anything anymore
Yet, I don't want to steal from poor CEO's because they have a hard life
I just want steel bones
So that I won't bang myself up when cutting a corner too close while circumnavigating the
Globe
I feel your pain and it makes me horripilate in its glorious uprising
Of new thought process
Oh how I love this
Excuse me for a moment
The oxygen iz gettn...
Strangling ribbon
Choking ancient sleeping elm
Revenge of the vine
