Unknown Knowledge

Oh magical, vast universe
Transmit that uncommon wisdom
Into my vital mind
Inject that juicy truth 
Into my prowling soul
For I desire to know the real

Oh wondrous, never ending life 
Reveal your well-planned method
Unveil the hypothesis of eternity
Expose the deception from the legit
For I crave to know the actual

Oh intelligent, orderly design
Disclose the nature of creation
Into my probing existence  
Confess your penetrating vision 
Into my suspicious awareness
For I itch to know the undiscovered

The Rattle

Everyday I wake
To the same old snake
Waiting to partake
In all my old mistakes

Everyday I contemplate 
Taking the bait
Until I can’t see straight
Ignoring my abnormal fate 

Everyday I detect 
The weakness resting on my neck 
Trying to redirect
The ways in which I reflect

Everyday I portray
The enemy, the prey
I must obey 
Or I’ll surely pay

Everyday I wake
With that same old snake
Hissing lullabies of ache
It gives, it takes

Dear Old Writers Block

I pace the corners of my brain
Back and forth, forth and back
But the words never make their appearance
I scratch at the cracks of my cortex
Tearing everything away like a mad man
Demanding to get a peek at inspiration
But I only found cob-webs and dust
Impatiently I freak out
Shoving the words 
But the words shove back
Letting me know
Who’s really in control here
I sit, defended by dear old writers block
Wondering if I’ll ever
Be the writer I intended to be.

An Expression

I need to express a feeling 
in which, I wish to expel.

Fear is eating away everything.
Confusion is playing games 
In which, I wish it’d count me out. 
I hate to make up my mind 
Which, by the way, 
Is constantly changing opinions and morals
Based on the current information at hand. 

Why can’t things just be clear,
White and black, black and white?
Things in this world, things in their world,
Are complex to the eye,
The eye that never did see clearly.

I wish to empty my head into a lake
And watch the filth float away.
Take me back to a time
Where nothing mattered than now.
Directions would always be nice, you know. 
I know what is right in heart,
But doubt never did trust me.
Store away and ship my memories,
I won’t be needing them anymore.
To truly be happy,
The years of false teachings,
Must be forgotten.

Sidewalk

We walk together
On this same sidewalk
Never saying hello
We act as if we don’t know each other
That we’ve never met before
You glance at me for a moment
As I stare towards the ground

We’ll keep each others secrets
As the sidewalk splits
You go one way
I’ll go the other
But in my thoughts 
You’ll always be that person I once knew
And yet the person I’ll never meet again

Humanity

I can’t help but think,
That everything we “humans” do, 
Has a huge impact on this planet.
This life has been tainted,
By almost everything we’ve created.
Doesn’t that weigh on your heart?

I don’t understand,
How we go about our days,
Like nothing we’ve done is wrong.
We’re killing life and that’s a fact.
Our problem is not the economy, 
It is simply mankind itself. 

I look around and see life dying.
And I fear the worst.
The end may be near.
But really life,
Would be better off without us.
So when our days are numbered,
Just remember we deserve much worse.
For we are destroyers of life.
