Central Internal Middle

incidental resignations of population
deceased investigations of remembered confrontations undergone by one for all overrun to fall
top heavy then slowed to crawl benevolent frustrations men for death make the call fill
the ashes 
re-configure our empty classes such brash feelings built deep so caustic melting all whom
come across it born from womb internal newborn intimacy proud american cattle doom society.

A Town With No Sound

Visions of strips of clouds in wornout towns
People walking through them making rounds
Sadness in their faces only frowns
Silence on their voices not a sound
Movements muffled growing softness not a vibration round
From underground roots pull them down and down
Within the air moods chill them without bounds
Light glimmers barely flickers brightness drowning out
Darkness showing over flowing flooding through the town
Sight extinguished no overcoming its taken what its found
Molding likeness forming lakes of wrong to righteous
Reflecting from deep inside us blinding what we know of trust
Devouring selfwill always following close behind us
A shadow on our backs to constantly remind us
A chill down our spine to regularly rewind us
That beat in our heart that firmly defines us
That rage in our eyes that seeks to defy us
The race for the prize that overcomes choice
Which results in the town of the people without voice

Dogs Vs Insects

blood ridden cesspool in disguise 
of a heartfilled warm american surprise
divided we fall lets take the dive
together we stand so run and hide
better off dead than alive
filthy redneck hick american pride
do these yuppies fall short
pockets deep hands at their side
nodding yes taking stride
I'm unimpressed lets please revive
the simple nature of what has climbed
the first impression the start of time
the rumbling banging crash of life
millions of molecules at once collide
forming planets creating the great divide
the spreading from single into unsized
an unmatched fury of no deny
the birthing of suns the breath of life
the wind in our hair the crash of the tides
the salt in our bodies which comes from our seas
the mixing and making of health and disease
our pleasure disgust and our filthy needs
everyone is everything we all can bleed
in mind is only where this time can survive
the counting of seconds till body must die
the worry and hesitance of staying alive
the meandering malleable life giving vibe
the peak of the rush the top of the high
the exit the entrance the crack in the slide
where most of us couldn't begin to contrive
blending and hiding disguising ones ride
secluding receding no need to decide
no giving no loving no joy insight
painfully awake climb back inside
claw deeper and further farther from light
enter your darkness become your fright
live as your evil give into the fight
be what you are no matter whats right
its dogs versus insects be ready to bite

Love

I have a problem I'm addicted
I'm addicted to the strongest drug of all
and I need my fix and I need it now
I need it to last
and no other drug can seem to surpass
I need this fix filled down deep in the pit of me
my shadow you'd say my darkest epitome
so much more than any other part of me
a festering fire that lives in the heart of me
only love can stop what is growing inside of me
but if there's only one true love than how can this be?
so many have searched and found nothing but enemies
so many have ran to the trees and the depth of sea
but me I'll keep fighting I'll find my true entity
no worldly creature could ever strike fear in me
only that feeling that resides down deep you see
such difficult choices anguish? or destiny?..
a seemingly endless journey searching for the rest of me
locked away in a cage in the illusion of ecstasy
I question each day why am I here? what could be meant for me?
If that could be answered we'd truly by blessed for free
but how could they answer the challenge that's meant for the 
on going climb from the heart to the brain then our genital mind
the lusting for others which eats up our time
while molesting our minds with adultly divine reasons and rhyme 
which usually end in a puddle of crime..

Dancing In the Sea

Dancing in the sea all i see is you and me making history becoming everything being free
vibrations making shapes impressions made in harmony glowing gloriously like new trees
growing flourishly swimming with honesty floating through destiny our entities no tests to
read shining bright as stars no need to feed desires all needs retired no holds no bars
just you and me dancing free in sea.

Distractions

I found my new course of action living only from distraction to distraction screw this
lost need for attraction I'm sick of waiting and asking wanting needing & gasping fighting
for a breath of something everlasting so i say screw it I'm passing no one is ever on the
same page especially for compassion diving back in I give into to the crashing lust to
lust our bodies smashing impacting reacting then finally clashing

Undertones

screaming undertones eagle be born flown from throne to steeple flowers grown to people
exploited noises once kept whisper held on face black eyed blister

Puddles

you make my heart swell so well ties undone emotions repel down waterfalls and mountain
walls to puddle into wells

Julia

You glow so bright I get lost when you're in sight your energy turning all that's dark to
light your entity making all that's wrong so right when you're around my feet come off the
ground and I take flight not a slight rise a soaring to new heights no care of day or
night when you're around my soul truly ignites.
