I feel unheard

I know I have been on repeat for 15 years
 I lost all my originality when I was sick and stolen from
  My guess is it poured out along with my soul and fears 
 chasing after my sanity as it flowed away in tears

 Its hard to come up with inspiration when your on pause
 trying to justify the actions of those who love you
 or at the very least come up with a justified cause
 one they could of chases based on misinterpreting something they saw you say 
 or do

 But best laid plans and lost causes your once dream life was taken from you
 with nothing but a barely believable story that I can only take accountability
 for not being strong enough to stay in the right when they made moves to take
 my light and say it wasn't true
 confused in the dark is not a reasonable place to figure out culpability.

 The only thing I have left in me because I shed my soul daily I dont save up
 because I cant promise all good every day so let it go good or bad send it 
 home
 and start fresh the next day but I can't shed the memory of the darkness and
  the way out it stays in me like a circuit loop in a conduit.
 So I can travel in the darkness to shed light on those who stay there and 
 hope they find hope to search for light because follow me or you when its 
 their fight is not the best way.
 
 all this said and I am still not right I no I may be meant for darkness to help    
 others overcome.
 if thats true what all the pain to keep me here 
 so much inner strength it takes to just find a smile and a way to help others.
 heal
 when all I could been is gone why is that the deal

 unloved and alone for 15 years fighting a war that free others. 
 but dooms me to something that I cannot hate or regret only dred
 Hope that i did bot deserve it that I volunteered otherwise I may die in 
 clovers
 But surely it is hell that waits for me.

  I feel so unheard I pour out words that are not great 
 but they would carry meaning spoken to anyone strong and meek
 from ear to ear of peasants and kings
 and these words will carry a truth for all who truth seek

Downfall

The days pass in a haze of ignorance 
Even your closest friend may leave to follow sheep
I could spend years trying to give this topic proper cited coordinates. 
But does the new generation know the Dewey decimal system
Or would they look to the sky and a modern carl Sagan to point out  the Dewey constellation  

In a time of resurgence of things long ago solved
Flat earth , vaccination acceptance for greater good
And a village of idiots instead of a village idiot 
The fate of our society seems deserving at times 

Tho the reasons are many the foundation is but one truth
That the building blocks of separation,  deception, control and acceptance is zoned.
And all I said up until this point with tact and cuth
Is all said in profound depth in the following parable with a empathetic tone:

The problem with the world today 
Is there are to many belief based facts
And there are not enough fact based beliefs 

Kindly

In the Beginning

These nights are solid gold
illuminated with the essence of word
Chinese faces and African soul
So many truths go untold
Lies will always charge a toll

So does temptation burn in you
Are Do you live a lie with no sin
Do you know Were your going
And remember were you been

Because I've seen the sights of southern spirits
Stared in the eyes of Egyptian gods
Spoke in the voice of buddah
And I know why the holy light shines

I started excistance in simple form
Wondering through prelife purgatory
I inevitably cross paths with my soul mate
Sandy skin with Indian eyes
Humble as a peasant but a princess in disquise
Predestined to be one for a moment of infinity

We found yourself alone warmed by fire
Speaking with know words
With one beautiful glance from her, this belly dancer
With a sequential soul

Time seem to waking the slumbering winds
As we made love under a speckled chime sky
As I woke to be led away by a man in a velvet robe
The seperation left us with ever present question, 
Why?

As we continued this journey to the beginning
He spoke of how life is a journey,  be bold
And as He and I came to the end of a golden road
I awoke a baby with a angels soul.

I have tasted the love in southern spirits
Spoke in the voice of egyption gods
Been wrapped in the arms of buddah
And I've seen holy light shine

Skg

Its time to do what's written
Explain,  I can't until you let go of all you know
To understand what truths we are missing
Or that have been hidden

I will use my self as target
Cause its not in everyone
To comprehend what life really is
Want their illusions to last
And their sheltered seeds
To know aristocracy is vast
And naturally be thankful you
Were born into a family name.

Using me just went out the window
"Is everybody in" the parable now begins
Just let me reiterate one thing
This is not prewritten are premeditated
Comes as I flow in know order its a border
Of all spirits journeys I just speak what I hear
As all thoughts ideas and fears from bankers to 
horticulture engineer
and use metaphor to gently spread what's shown
To me at the speed of energy
life is about the moments you didn't notice
Cause your loyal to a few instead of all

This may be another start of a recently lost
365 pages of parabolic explanation
But this time the mind I lost is back in parts
Its a dang shame I spent my life running from
My destination.

I always knew were I was headed
But I love unconditionally
And did not upset a global rhythm
So spent my years destroyiing myself

So I will start on this suicide mission
Of speaking things that reason can see
but ironically are mind is to caught up
In lies we would despice given silence, thought,
And time. Granted I'm adhd ocd and have
a hyperactive brain it never stops I don't sleep
I go into energy efficient sleep mode
Screen iis off but the light still blinking
Wifi and Bluetooth are examples of the
Sync option that we all have and I always known
That has been proven but dismissed
Cause to refill u must have empty cup
And no one wants to give up what they got
And even those who don't have it good
wont see truth because between
Faith, luck, and advertising they may
Get a chance to were thousand dollar slacks
And treat those below like they have no reason
To think they deserve the blessing they
Accidently came across. In the stroke of a check
their roots,  ideas, and ethics lost or bought
Traded to the man made faceless seemingly the
most beautiful thing to give all a fair shot at being
Elite when before we bought in we were equal men.
The rabbit hole goes deep and who better
To hear words and not speak pridefully
One thing above all and its a hitter
Before you understand creation
You first must understand man is nothing

Random Free Thought Ten Min Clock

Random thought on ten minute clock as been deleted and rethought
from a more steady mind then th one of mine
I held all those years ago and for the waisted time
you may have spent on that ryme I really apologize

You see you dont really see the things your saying
not when your overmedicated your mind is gone and you are just
litigating between the voices in your head trying to have some peace
your just trying to clear your head get some rest and go to bed

I cant really relate to myself and who I was
and I cant remember the person that came before
down south fat boy who had a lot of fun it not the memmories
that miss me but the way i handled the activities how social I was

So next time if you happen to be in a crowd
and you see someone awkward and hear people talk about them in the crowd
take the time to speak to them and get past their wall
they are the best friends you will ever find so dont be so proud

Realization and Redemption

Ja, I remember the day
That I noticed that fellowship 
Respect, and all installed ethics taught to be right was 
child's play
And hippacrit sympathizers was definition of 
adulthood

This caused in me a great confliction, of blind 
contradiction 
Of life and its meaning
To sooth the pain of this infliction
I grew from the earth , a seedling
Of divine intention to ease the human condition 
My mind eased, eyes red .I am reaping My Reward 
but, weaping. No more.

But ill say just This to explain
All these wars and religious mutiny.
Non stop preaching and barely reaching those in pain.
Before we use these words that hurt in wound,  cause 
death,  embarrassment and shame.
Realize your to vein to be godly

Say and speak with this In mind
If you're religious and Jesus was here
To bring all 'All' us together,  you shouldn't be 
surprised,  when he looks over the masses And with a 
blank stare.
Speaks nothing just walks away In tears
In your heart and all you know real you Can't say you 
wouldn't know why.
But cower do we still. Church is political,  but 
righteousness Is not we are all accountable
All that's left is to decide as one human race. How we 
choose to live till its time to die.

If

What if a day came when reason
  Overtakes the true false hopes
  And deprograms the whole known commonly
  No restraint pure word of essence
  So you can't help but feel what you've heard

  So comes the translation of a new season
  I have no miracles to give only given word
  Tis not the Man who speak so bold,  so
  Not blasphemy or cultural spiritual treason

  These words the organic man does not hold
  Its not of the past which up to now Was irrelevant
  Its not on the way in coming days , all in or fold
  This is streaming current of parabolic prevalence

  Judge me not I tried to go
  Seek me not this body easily judged
  By the false who say they know
  The essence never stops, the rock does not budge

  Since its was told once
  Used right three times
  And death to each divine shell
  This one died already,  three times

  This man is now hollow
  Truth and word are his soul
  He wishes not to be followed
  But he has no control

 Prove him wrong cure his fate
 It is not yet written
 Not up to date
 But time for revision

This are not his words
It is not his decision
time to cut chord
Through parable precision

The past leads here
Time to end it
This moment don't show fear
Be real with atonement

Tis shame fellowship fate
Exploitation formed faith
So now its lil late
Like a wraith
The self will know and relate

So look past your faces
Let go of all wealth
Pick a steady pace
To cleanse thyself.

Well

Well I guess my words are good
  But never make worthy
    I looked all things through
 But no class for me

 Grammatical nightmare
Capitalization is a strong suit
Life is never fair
  If you were never told
Glad you made it here

So contest results I wont see
I am not typical of any before
No time spent sharing poetastraphy
That just speaks the way of the world

Rise for thy self die for all
there is no other way
If diplomacy shall evolve
As for me I'm not here today
I'm hanging with Gabriel,  Peter and Paul
but my truth is found with john.

Call it curiosity

"Call it curiosity"
Does anyone on this app really believe
That somehow or another every one of us
Truly think that one side is meant to deceive 
Or that one side is the one that is only one to pull us way from the current prisabus

Can any one person explain to me one thing
When did it become common aence to listen 
To the person who admitted guilt in his wing
But thata ok If you can trust his intentions

Who here can say they truly have time
To double check facts and understand lies
Now that corporations are people and bribery is no crime
No way to impeach a senator as laws or bought and democracy dies

Can one single individual speak to the dumbing down of are nation with any aptitude 
Some times it kind of feels like an intellectual is sluming
Trying to carry a real conversation with folks because ignorance created the wrong attitude 

Does it speak to any American mind
That the world's largest news network
Gets away with lies because they are not news they are entertainment opinionated kind
But they are the truthful one and that is how the devil would work.

I mean I'm just curios how many folks it dawned on
That they kept are parents busy chasing 
Money to keep up with what they needed to have status and that was a great con
While that was the way your child earned their educational institutional placing

Raised with blind faith in teachers underpaid 
Left home alone raised on morals from TV shows
They could not of made a more inpentatrable system in any decade
As the one they made accidentally with select opportunity time after time arose.

Makes me think maybe the u.k has it right
A parliament dressed up in wigs and tights
Instead of greed pigs on left and right
They are just actors in political theater and perhaps is all satire

Maybe that's it they so it for the spectacle 
While reminding their people as a whole
This is all for show difference is inevitable 
So form an opinion discuss it let it grow

While on this side of the water we gotten away
From the idea of opinion and facts as they are given
Instead we opt for beliefs founded in the ideas most identified in our mind the shows that raised us gave us our youthful opinion

Then this generation with the cancel culture
And there it takes a parent not a village taught obtuseism 
The opinions are non negotiable and that is the death of truth as politicians circle their the vulture
Now propaganda divides us while words are thrown around like socialism and communism and Marxism and the entire rolodex of isms is that what they believe in

To many belief based facts not enough fact based beliefs
Opinions can be discussed and changed with proof
But it takes intelligen and access to truth to make this idea possible to achieve
Right now they only show us what moves them forward and causes turmoil and death for American troops. 

So can I ask those beliefs are they based on facts
Because if you are using opinion molded by propaganda 
And molded by the media and the system uses to manipulate us into backing their heinous acts

It is not only something that you will die for in your self righteous metaphor
 but soldiers die in a politicaly motivated war the government  planned and you cosigned on
Is this truly whst we want to be known for

Every day my mind is filled with simple question and reasonable ideas
But they are lost in any discussion at any table church or temple
Because folks listen to react not understand
They are not interested in common ground that be to simple
And we all want to be relevant so bad that falsehoods and sumofacts where recognized I guess to be politically correct we were given alternative facts
Man all that fund raising and complicated law making and thus is where we at might as well have hedge fund for anyone my bad I mean super pacs

Call it curiosity is my mind letting the media get the best of it
Or is this really the kind of thing they expect from us
Conformity or compliance with alternative facts
Sold to the point that one side would kill and the other would die to institute or oppose that

I'm just sleepy I ramble a bit
But is it to far fetched the idea they instill
In us to drive our actions through data analysis and internet habits.
All started with taught perception bases on a common curriculum 
Which brings up 3 ways and indifference 
I'm just curious is that why standardized test 
Are multiple choice and have no wrong answer just answer what you feel they said  (A)(B)(C)(D).  3 answer  or  none of the above all of the above you know indifference. 

I'm just messing with you have a good day everyone remember your words can reach teach mislead and hurt so be mindful and kind
Is a simple truth every single action changes the world if we all acted in the best interest of all Instead of what beat for us 
 the change be quick and ripe with intentions 
Call it curiosity but could we ever pull such a thing off.

What Days

What days are these in our life's
     And who are we to not walk the same line
     It is always about ones self defiance
     And truth is altered so set destinys chime

     I have seen the fear and insanity
     That the purpose of my life brings
      Never read a single holy book
      Yet I have written quotes of saints
       
      I made it through this hated time
      By loving,  achievement,  and blind
      When I left the safety of southern shrine
      My open soul was fed to lions

       I felt the difference and had lost my mind
       Writing words I did not once hold
       The east coast winds house a secret bind
       With two different sides of old

       Now in the place of my birth the rain is cold
        however living in the warm salt air and still
       feeling the false truth that hate brings when sold
       by those who seek nothing more than reaction despite
       the clear view of the kill

     And so it begins a life and mind somewhat back on track
      I lost my motivation to be heard and respected 
      now I am about to take it back
     pray for those who block my path at the gates 
      of heaven or hell they may receive the fate they elected

     by war by peace through God or through me
     I will pass no judgement but will carry out the sentence
     handed down for those who sale hate for children to see
     while wrapped in the flag and give no voluntary repentance

     put down your hate pick up your fear
     face yourself in the mirror be accountable
     for your actions and the weight they bare
     because its not demons on earth only men who create evil so 
     unfathomable

     WHAT DAYS ARE THESE ONLY THE EYES OF THE SINNER
      WILL NOT BE DECEIVED
