Nameless

i see myself in you and its kinda strange 
coz thats the only time i love myself when im in dire straits
ya see i have this diesease sometimes i lie awake
and wonder why im a piece of shit with all of my mistakes 
but one day i'll change it i'll make it and flip this 
until that day im making a difference making 
a conscious decision to take what im given
no slave to the way that im liven
and these are more than words this is my testimony 
most if it i wrote for you so when im gone ya never lonely
they say only god can judge me but who is he 
i feel at times that by design for real the only god is me
but im a basket case who cant escape the darkest place 
inside my mind you'll find my heart replaced incased in armour plates
half my traits are like a dog just looking for a car to chase 
barking mad starven carven scars upon my arms and face
and this is hardly fake but something that i can't erase 
my darkest days my casket waits to take me to a calmer state

Anything Is Possible

The universe rests inside the palm of a giant hand
and a god like breath blows across the top and through 
a trillion stars planets and exploding suns.
A celestial storm rages to the magnitude of which not
a pair of blinking eyes ever witnessed until this moment in time.
Electricity surges through hidden fibre optic 
nerves in a multicoloured galaxy leading to magnificent 
displays of sparkling tones of green and rivers of deep purple. 
Deeper within the most eccentric chaotic fusion of elements
possibly imaginable is a life form 
an entity that exists outside the constraints of time and physical 
spacial matter. All of which that is resticted by the laws of time 
cannot be the centre in that which creation spontaneously erupted
but more a multi dimensional interactive cinematic experience.
Ancient knowledge teleports through an infinite  wave of conciousness
waiting for a master locksmith to enter the void of indisputable
truth. Billions of tonnes of matter free fall in to  black holes , some
of it being just space trash the other being a living organism with 
its very own consciousness creating the separation in principles 
of quantum mechanics and the theory of relativity. 
From the outsiders perspective everthing disintergrates
into ash in a blazing inferno while from the eye of the
falling a moment of no gravity seems to last forever.
Living according to such principles which can be easily 
altered once certain mathematical and scientific boundaries
are surpassed really has you believing anything is possible.
And believe me from what im about to tell you it is.

Beautiful Insanity

There is a vast amount of nothing in my thoughts .
Nothing i can say that amounts to how i feel in this vast existance.
I am incomplete as just one soul.
I am whole as a million different things in one shell.
I don't know myself although no one knows me better.
I am not all the colours of the rainbow .
I am every shade of grey that lies beneath the surface.
There is no clarity when every answer is a question?
Things have never been clearer.
I am awake but see i cannot.
Time moves yet i do not.
Brain aches to understand....... why?
Curiosity is the hallmark of discovery.
Evolution of technology equals the de-evolution of humanity.
Beautiful insanity.

My Love

There is a universe of stars in her eyes reflecting the culmination 
of my everlasting and undying  love for her Her beauty matches that of the reflection of light on top of the surface of the ocean shimmering and sparkling in the midst of a golden sunrise. She is vibrant as the blooming flowers in the springtime in contrast to my cold winter resolve which becomes grey as the moon in times of deep distress. To her my darkness and lack of enthusiasm is a mysterious disappointment. Although I have never expected understanding for he who does not understand himself can simply not be understood. She moves with natural grace and the tides eb and flow. we are yin and yang the harmonious balance of all that exists between us.

10 Words

She is capricious which is why others alienate her 
A malignent tumor perspicious to all who 
that know her . Her friendships are usually transitory and often dissipate quickly due to 
her inurbane demeanour which also causes her 
to gravitate towards less than reputable characters. Fooled by their charm they would flatter her and time after time she would be 
their scapegoat

Quest- Ions

worship false idols 
crave self improvement 
run for miles on a stationary wheel
no movement 
cant make an impact in this world?
rendered useless
slaves to our egos while 
others points of view switch
healthy is living spared for the elite
lower class being washed out
that's why junk food is cheap

kill me with a smile on your face 
I'm expected to work for your benefits?
inject those steroids so you feel powerful
please your weaker than the rest of em
form a line do as we say don't question it.
  
the juice box read concentrate but i just 
can't seem to beaches full of toxic waste 
and most of what we eat too. 

no point to this life living on the edge of a knife
but i guess its better than to die 
obsessed with death rotting flesh
and wondering the reasons why?

Alzeimers

The love they shared it could never be matched
fifty years spent together til the memory lapse
and to penny and Jack ya see it came as a shock
and no one else in the family really knew how to react
dad was out for a drive to get some bread and some snacks 
the cops bought him home lost apparently his head it went blank
thought he would never get back
but as soon as he did he hugged mum so tight
u knew they'd be forever attached
but as time passed mum watched the gentleman that
she fell in love with decay with everything that he had
she tried not to fall apart and never be sad 
even keep her face brave for penny and Jack but penny and jack 
could see the definite cracks on her face 
as their mother tried to pick up the slack
she tried so hard til it was bending her back
knowing that she was close to an eventual collapse

Not Your Fault

It's not your fault he hurt you
that he made you feel so small 
A man should be a woman's strength 
And help her stand up tall 
It's not your fault he scared you 
and left bruises on your skin 
or told you not to speak that way
while standing up to him 
It's not your fault he didn't know
the way you should be treated 
Or made you feel ashamed 
So that you would keep it secret 
It's not your fault when he said he'd 
Change you would believe it 
Because you're kind at heart
the bad sometimes
you couldn't see it
It's not your fault you loved him
Or even that you cared 
Or that you might feel lonely 
to think of him not there 
It's not your fault 
that he used you 
Only for his gain 
Or that he abused you 
And caused you loads of pain 
It's not your fault he pushed you
said things to make you cry 
It's not your fault that he refused
When you tried to say goodbye
It's not your fault 
that to feel safe you had to lie
Just remember that it's not a fault 
to be too sweet inside

Broken Soul

soul is broken
begging for relief
grief is holding  
no getting to sleep
white noise
silence
voices in my head 
echo images of violence
waiting in line 
with a prescription for death
please give me a discount
i could really use the rest
pull the strings 
of the clueless 
as the darkness sets in
begin to feel so useless
talk with a whisper 
hear you just fine 
theres no need to yell
though i dont mind
its ok
its alright 
ill be here 4 u
everyday and night 
and i would let you go
even if it broke my heart
coz if you dont wanna stay
how can we make a start

Sad Reality

This world is a lonely place full of phony fakes drug addicts killers and pedophiles and those who rape
lowly snakes who pretend to smile but only chase the dollar signs coz that cash really motivates 
there's alot of good people in this world too but there's too many sick little girls and little boys true
I saw a show a five year old was on his death bed his parents were beside themselves but not once did he get scared 
He just stared at his mum while she said  prayers said don't worry mummy I'll just play in heaven til you get there 
and that was hard to hear coz heaven 
there is probably none only hell on earth 
When kids die before their lifes begun 
How can god decide that a child's time has come when a rock spider gets to live until he's ninety one 
But then if heavens real the child gets eternal life 
But so does the pedophile all he has to do is turn to Christ 


This world is beautiful humans are disgusting 
Adults too cynical children too trusting 
Religion's misleading 
governed by corruption 
Catholic church supports child abuse
Because they touch kids 

We take for granted how we were born and raised
With health care overseas theres babies  born with aids 
And there's no money for the treatment so they are forced to pray 
But there's cash for ak's and they can afford grenades 
And in parts of the world they still torcher slaves and force young girls to marry 
way before the age 
Of consent all becoz the parents formed a trade sold her innocence to the highest 
Bidder and were already paid
