Just Wondering

what will they see?
what will be remembered?
when you burst out 
into the open-
                            lit up and
                               Naked

Horror Throne

Withered alien skeleton man digging through 
the dumpsters for any kinda fix 
Nothing can fully dessimate the killing fields 
of memories from where you rose 
Nothing to do or be other then embrace the 
midnight of otherness that is at the very roots of 
awareness where self shimmers an odd theatrical 
stage of lit up play in the sorrows of having been
repititiously born too many roles to go on and 
much more to come where ice replaces blood 
and the body freezes in undercover storm rages 
where not a single person comprhends the full 
blown cancerous implications 
Such a history of shattered misconseptions
untouchable shadow puppett dreams beggar
kings upon boiling skinned bones a poisoned
stare darker then winters first touch of  night
not a thing can be done to silence the horror 
televised reality of our cultural traps on to
meaningless drive malformed by backwards
clocks and odd screams

Fluids

Deep under subteranion covers where nowhere
lingers everywhere and the decrepit lights of man
die to the world 
Wrapped in rags-a masachistic christ plotting my 
crucifixtion born again and again washed in 
human guts-baptized by fire just a man naked
chasing the sun and moon unashamed loving all 
matter all consciousness all people authentic 
power of just deciding to be each second weirder
then before...strange needs coating the 
eyelashes no hope of existential immortality 
just a cold march to bloody loving shithood
heavens-these games we play-role of a urine
drenched prophet unknown dismissed dragged
down the executioners hole gorged on self
What are U?
Cracking open the bodily vault dispearsing 
terminal fluids 
Im a treacherous snake in the gardens of my 
sanctuary-man only is where no one can see
Out of tune songs rush up my spine in gruesome
melodic chaos-shoot up the messiha till the
streets are covered in all that physical temple
goo out of ghetto rope streets 
I hang in the hopeless nights

Sick Day Orbit

You shake it off
Puke it up
Try to keep moving to no avail 
We are gone today
Only ashes of our past left 
And not a single future could lessen our
desperation 
These days are filled with the horror of walking 
up
To be a human in orbit 
When all i is a blatant lie
IT all moves so quick

Living Sickness

Submerged in my own filth
 Discombobulated desire
Cold spun out breezes 
Every animated thing covered in a layer of
Sickness and frost

Eyeballs heavy with the breath
of men long dead
Opening to the rage of invalidation
transcribed across my brain-
In conjured voices

Vomitt Pics

Living in constantly erasable pictures 
           Im storming off stage!!
     When did dullness become so widespread?
Who or what beast of night and shadow of day
feeds off there very lives the essence the dance
of existential extemity the gloomy failure 
in all these rules ive had to play all that i had to
become all has left me nothing matters now
i know emptiness each trip dibaca bursting that
detained my lifeforce my nobody signs and 
bloody stares let me have the unembraced 
Charging my lips waiting for you

Wild Rebellious

My kids running wild at the park
Still nowhere near enough
Let us rediscover the great woods of old
Walk through the few enchanted space left
on earth where one gets bashed down by
that dark clock totally parasitic poisoning 
conditioning chained to time
may we all unhook ourselves now from all
artificial construction erase mans hourglass 
calendar a devestation at every beings core
layers warped by language imprisonment 
Stop all pre-packaged consumption end 
all dependancies remain a dignity never known
A power never imagined

Promethius

Masked vultures eat into my liver
Deeply hidden from the eyes of the sun among
these plastic times 
This cursed carnival
Come day everyone shell just melt 
The timeless on my hands 
Chained to a chair upon the top of my alley hill

The Fool

Bleeding for you without knowing why 
Looking at you with jewled eyes crossed
What is this voilatal vital need 
I cant sleep
This craving kills 
As i am being slowly dug out of the ground
All that healing gambled with
No wonder the mirror wont show me who i
really am
What could u see?
A dramatic fool drowning in his own orifices
Why am i here?
What madness makes me,
unmakes me
What a totaled world im from
What grandois pplots of escape all smothered
by loves feathery ball and chain
Living this lie each day
Wearing my 1000 pound armor
Living no longer wanting just to exist
Made enraged upon the steps of this cosumerist
temple that is america 
Freedom a term utilized repetively double talked
as they flood the population with the worst of 
drugs 
And i cant look at my own eyes so how can i 
look into yours

Moldy Head Portals

Traveling through all the portals in my head
all as one is one nothing left to do one 
unlimited kingdom mosaic of shit and corpses
how many lives contaminated?
How many spiraled out to crash into fate 
Oblivious to the actual addicted to appearance 
Kingdoms atop kingdoms ageless unfolding of
the universe where lost artifacts burn with
the flow of blood dawn of all that hungry history 
awakening continuously this violent 
rememembering how to unravel this age of 
impossible dispensers this body detoxified 
cleansed of the poisoned dust that grows at the
the limits of the slow creeping carnage of the everyday 
masquerade
