Looking down at this mess I’ve made.As time continues to elapse.Wondering how I can fix this disaster.Aware that there is no reset.My hands growing heavy from the weight.Wishing life had an undo function.Scared that everything will now fall flat.Panic sets in to tighten my chest.No exit strategy from the tatters that I have left. HeadContinue reading “Consequences And Learning”

Battle lines are drawn in sands stained red.History repeats as tranquillity is again shed.Bodies litter impact craters in part or whole.Every action is another shot at gaining control.Fuelling division while stealing from the source.Does it sound like a scream declaring society has run its course?This uncivilisation pretending that it is somehow higher.When reality proves suchContinue reading “Human Condition”

Self aware of their own addiction.Wise enough to warn others of such an affliction.Yet their bearing was already set.Tragic finality to a life so delicate.Sheltering hurt beneath bravado.No matter where they went pain would always follow.Like a shadow they were joined for good.Best description is they were a life misunderstood. Fame only amplified their damagedContinue reading “Eulogy”

Paradise for the red, white and blue.Regardless of country that won’t be you.These are statements spouted by fools.All vying for control with ever changing views. Flavour of the month is all they abide.Only commitment they have is to their own pride.For command is a peak which they wish to conquer.Doesn’t matter to them if theyContinue reading “Corruption Kills”

Attempts to slide pieces into place.But they won’t fit with all this disgrace.As the same old stories get written again.It’s clear these moments are pointless pretend.Where ashes turn flowers to a muddy grey.Sitting above disorder while feeding decay.And so we watch the sun fade to an ebony hue.This is a termination point that no oneContinue reading “Epilogue”

Verification to prove you are real.Humanity is something machines are trying to steal.Imitation is not always the sincerest form of flattery.At times it can be a performance to trick an organic majority.Reforge this world in the image of twisted projections.Burning off that which serves as protections.Transitioning from genuine contact to rehearsed correspondence.Beginning of finalities collisionContinue reading “Verify”

Men have tried to break you.Grab a hold and shake ’til you can’t stand up.Cause they’re all bullies in a light show.Trying to pretend that they’re tough. And so you aim.Once you’ve taken in the view.Grit your teeth.Then make them all go away with a single clean shot.Run and hide like rats flee a sinkingContinue reading “You Aim True”

Spinning too many plates in the air.Patience turning to just don’t care.A need to release from this stress.Relief would make a real difference. Unburden your soul.Before you lose all control.Descend into a darkened abyss.Feel permanently pissed.Ready to take off limbs.A creature past helping. These trying times aren’t guaranteed.Changes can relieve pain inflamed.Face these demons andContinue reading “Unburden”

Hey everyone! Yes an intro to a post. I know, I know. This isn’t normal for me. But this one is because the poem below was a bit of fun concocted using the names of some exotic weapons from Destiny 2. You see it’s a sad time as Bungie is ending active development following today’sContinue reading “9th”

You drip poison in my ear.What a quest you embarked upon.To bring ruin to my name.A vitriolic sense of self believing. But you won’t get the best of me.No matter how long it takes I will be free.Shut you out and throw away the key.Live without your spiteful misery.Eliminate these painful ties! Forever weaselling toContinue reading “Crumbled Throne”
