Fate of the Scorner

spewing the words of a scorner.
He rides this same bus every day
as though he has some place to...

Pigeon ManPigeon Man Frank,
buried underneath the
morning fog coddling the
fractured arteries of
urban sprawl
which mill humanity
against civilization's grindstone
Pigeon Man Frank,
bears wounds of scorn
as a foul wraith that
dredges along the
peripheries of civil society,
Lo! the herpes sore
squatting on the
public's...

Composing a constant struggle
Orchestrating my own orchestra
The cold sharp bow against my strings

Life In RewindBy Chad Carlson
Today I looked at my life in rewind
Found the good in mostly bad times
Smiled a lot and even laughed a little
Until I got to the part in the middle
So much pain in the...

When all seems oh so hopelessThe black, deep darkness of the soul…
The insidious beast that lurks inside…
Eroding your faith, destroying your goal;
Sowing bitter seeds of doubt and suicide.
Murk drapes over your heart like a shroud:
Burying you under overwhelming despair.
Gloomy negativity...

An unfrivolous dance of where and whenOn supposedly eternal shore,
steps purposefully wander as they did before not long ago
when existence swoop with the bow over strings-
its created harmony an unseen, camouflaged racket-

Call 988When they made Humpty Dumpty
He turned out to be grumpy
Because of his fragile state
He's not to make a mistake
A padded path, made for him
Full of cotton, thick not thin
He must go only this way
He wants...

perishMy veins are the schematics
My conscience the pragmatics
A nuclear weapon that’s omnifarious

Many parts no two the same
Doesn’t mean I’m not painfully plain
Nothing about me is distinctive
Identical and parallel, anatomy’s instinctive

The Great WorkWhy would I - the maker of this:
desiccated and barren effigy,
the devastated architect of this
biological monstrosity -
want to end the great work?
I ask you dear friend, why would I not?
Why linger when nothing...

No lightNo light
Sharp words tearing at my soul
No way out, your constant taunt
Everyday my life you did haunt
Great beast me you tried to control
Snapping, tearing, destroying my mind
You dragged me into dark places
A place where I...
