Can’t see what is right before our eyes.Trees dying from burning skies.As drought grips from coast to coast.Life is transitioning to being a ghost.With feast materials running dry.There is a wilting cry. Cowering in shade that offers little reprieve.Property blazes as owners grieve.Tasting acrid smoke in every breath.Summers signal distress and death.Gigantic shift in howContinue reading “Tinderbox”

Lashing out from a health scare.I no longer want you to be here.Your abuse is not excused.More you speak the more you lose.Proving what really lurks within.You’re a beast unable to repent for how you’ve been. Breaking bones with a push.Trying to silence pain with a shush.Level of privilege you don’t deserve.When its clear you’reContinue reading “Insignificant Other”

Being force-fed another line.But I’m not buying in this time.Had your chances and they’ve been eroded away.This is where I exit rather than stay.For your talk is cheap but your statements are thinner.Sick of putting up with your insidious nature. Lapped up your falsified love.But now I see you’ve got none to give.Endgame was forContinue reading “Venomous Kiss”

Standing on the cusp of oblivion.All on sides are parties of every division.Trudging through mires filled to the brim.Engagement births yet another sin.Damning the many to be slaves to so few.Stronger the resistance the tighter this fist closes too.As fires rage in hearts condemned to struggle.Hierarchies continue to huddle.Dolling out exclusions to welcome more in.ClosedContinue reading “Cusp”

Looking for peace and serenity.Period of bliss without entropy.Mirror to flip this chaos upside-down.Eliminate whatever makes me frown.Live in a dream that never has an end.Dwell as I wish but it not be pretend.Swim through an ocean of possibility.Singing songs that provide meaning to me.Blocking out darkness that does no good.Rather be smiling than drowningContinue reading “Bliss Without Entropy”

Soldiers marching off to war.More existences filled with gore.Everywhere you look there’s a reminder.This world is never growing kinder.As bodies fill up the mortuaries.Fathers, sons, mothers and daughters.No thought for those being slaughtered.Upon this altar of greedy self-destruction.Progress swapped for stagnation. Madness has long since be welcomed in the door.Full swing embrace of adoring everyContinue reading “Stained By Decay”

Trading souls for more likes.While foregoing all our rights.Dopamine hit that fades too quick.Getting desperate for a hit.Junkie with a worse addiction.Society trapped by this affliction.Of feeding off hate and pain.Enough to drive us all insane.From this popularity contest on a mass scale.Conform or you will be condemned to fail. Feasting on bile to getContinue reading “Lost In The Lines”

Here today and gone tomorrow.Languish in this place so hollow.As I lay a kiss upon this searing star.Falling short rather than going far.Without a source to fill my cup.Down again in a flooded rut.Gasping when I dare to breathe.Could do with being granted some reprieve.From this pattern that saps my soul.Detaching me from all formsContinue reading “What Is A Cure?”

Serve upon a silver platter every ounce of me.Far from perfect as I try to survive each day.But talons always lance through my flesh.Agonising over what might be next.My mind descends into a jumble.Overthink and so I fumble.Land myself in a sealed box, drowning.Instead of speaking I am mouthing.Sick of this ripping… Heart from myContinue reading “Heart From My Chest”

First world nation that never was.Pinned itself with the moniker just because.All the hardware without any tenacity.New nation repeating old world stupidity.With no victories of it’s very own.Trying to rewrite history to maintain it’s self-appointed throne.Yet progress is like a snail with salt in its wounds. Third world catastrophe blooms again.Not convinced this childish behaviourContinue reading “Salted Wounds”
