These Plains

Walk these plains but never really know.
What is above might reside below.

Confusion seeping into your daily routine.
While across the river it might not be so green.
A constant war with which you have to contend.
Meanwhile the sky starts to rend.

Tallying up where you are right now.
Do you occupy any sort of morale high ground?
Whether yes or no you need some time to decompress.
No one should be living in permanent distress.

For too long this world has been bitter.
And each new day it’s getting worse not better.
Raging torrent against it’s own.
This fight will reduce you down to bone.
What a disgusting fact to be known.

Marking papers with glassy eyes.
Another revelation grips you with vile lies.
Cause truth has become but a memory.
Hate blooms instead of withering generally.

Put a pin into what should rot.
All routines have gone to complete pot.
What was green has now turned brown.
Happiness replaced by a frown.

Sky is falling from all this greed.
Yet you continue to ignore your need.
Get far away before termination is your state.
Alas it is now your defined fate.

For too long this world has been bitter.
And each new day it’s getting worse not better.
Raging torrent against it’s own.
This fight will reduce you down to bone.
What a disgusting fact to be known.

Muddy Waters

I dream in monochrome.
Stitched tiles form my home.
With a head filled to bursting.
Need a remedy to cease this occurring.

Patchwork I can’t keep together.
Coming apart at these poorly stitched seams.
Running round and round showing no progress.
Stuck in this expanse of emptiness.
Desperate for a reset.

Waking sees colour bleeding in.
Amplifying my every problem.
Muddying waters already inpenetrable.
Can I stay in realms of being stable?
In need of a solution.

Distraction from this din.
I am feeling lost yet again.
Divergence from where I wish to be.
Show me a sign.
Aid me.

Thoughts are terror inducing.
Each one is not of my choosing.
As I gaze up hoping for relief.
Instead I am met with no belief.
Cycle repeating without my wish.
Consent has been stripped from my grip.
Siphoning out my future plans.
Is this what it feels like to be human?
Fighting for every scrap and morsel.

Dreams should not be in monochrome.
I deserve a full and proper home.
Not a head about to explode.
And yes it is definitely owed.

My Dear

You feel fear welling up from inside.
No longer is it something you can hide.
Creeping despair ensnaring you whole.
It has only one simple goal.
Consume you and twist you numb.
Keep you always afraid of everyone.
But you don’t have to relent.
Face this pain without company.
Open up and bare your soul.
It isn’t giving up all your control.

Nervous twitch as you speak aloud.
Trying to conceal your wounded pride.
But its etched into your every word.
As you fight to be even heard.
Features weary from constant battle.
You feel like you are more like cattle.
But underestimate yourself.
Strength is your magnet.
You can conquer anything.
And there is no shame in asking for a companion.

Profit Only

What we leave behind are scraps and pungent rot.
It seems that all we learned we have forgot.
Shoved progress down into a deep dark hole.
Instead we pledge to giving up control.
Feeding a machine that consumes us in entirety.
What might be for some is not for everybody.
There is no freedom in this old new world order.
Oppression reigns and it’s only getting broader.

Choke on these pills.
Serve as you’re commanded.
Prophets are banned.
No more prosperity will come around.

Day of the dead has become enternity of drowning.
Too busy pretending we will be permitted to be demanding.
When in reality all debts will be owed.
And we the people are they who will be borrowed.
Sentenced to life in an endless cycle.
No more retirement when are bodies can’t rival…
Those in their youth whose jobs wr still fill.
Toiling away as our minds grow more and more ill.

Choke on these pills.
Serve as you’re commanded.
Prophets are banned.
No more prosperity will come around.

Bubonic Drivel

Peek around a corner and you will see a psycho.
Wrapped up in disorder as he tries to distract from his own debauchery.
Are there any limits to actions that will be taken?
We all know the answers and they are entrenched firmly in a negative location.

Tear out an eye but you’ll still be screaming.
For too long this distraction tactic has been failing.
Only adds to calls that your mental state is compromised.
Crooks are the only ones who wish to wear an endless string of disguises.
All while breaching statements they made before.
After all they have to save their bacon from each fresh media storm.

Drown in the profits of all these lies that have been spoken.
Wade through shit of a type which you’ve been spouting.
Oust a monarch or maybe two then maybe they will forget how much you want to be one too.
Not an option but you’re dumb enough to believe it might just be a permanent reprieve.

Face consequences of your sordid actions.
Stop fobbing off each of your latest infractions.
Laws are not there to see how many you can break.
All while pretending it was an honest mistake.
Such a chump to think that most will swallow that kind of pill.
Disaster is your obsession and you bathe in that swill.

Where will it end no one can say.
To be truthful you should’ve drowned already.
But like a boomerang you keep coming back.
Maybe it’s time the rest of us should make a pact.

Sign into exclusion your braindead mob boss tactics.
A type so outdated you’re the only one trying to pretend it’s got traction.
Believing everyone is as crooked as you.
Well listen up chum we are all disgusted through and through.
It’s why you are the butt of every joke of the moment.
You don’t have a close runner up in terms of opponent.

Spewing bile and more overly obvious lies.
If you tried to lie straight you’d be bent like a hose line.
Coiling round until you meet yourself coming the opposite way.
Between your ears their is nothing but a vacuousness and decay.

Now do the decent thing for once and fall for good.
You are not being hunted or simply misunderstood.
What you are is worse than an infectious disease.
Spouting hatred with far to great of ease.
That is why you need to shuffle on by.
Tumble down into one of those pits you dug throughout your narcissistic life.

Didn’t Sow

Stood on the shoulders of ancients.
Grifted all that could be had from the vacant.
Reaping what you didn’t sow.
Claiming victory against the innocent.
Falsifying knowledge you do not know.
Lining pockets with stolen pride.
Every action you take claims another life.

Get out before I break you to dust.
For too long you have been nothing but mistrust.
Scamming when you think eyes are averted.
You possess no decent penchant.
Just a sack of rotting meat.
And I want to see you days turn obsolete.
With a smile upon my lips,
I will sever your stupid trips.
Watch glory wither and die.
Feed your legacy to carrion birds who circle up high.

Gutter filth with a smile of ivory.
All because you lied to every-fucking-body.
Disgust is the shape you have taken so well.
Break before this world turns to a miserable hell.
Your days are numbered just like you.
Between your ears is festering brain stew.
Blunt from a lack of intelligent thought.
One of the few things that you can’t be bought.
Watch as your form continues to waste away.
Soon you will be forgotten and I know you will hate that intently.

Lights

Dazzling multi-coloured dream.
To see them makes me feel serene.
Brings a smile to my lips.
Regardless of how this weather nips.
As I stroll right on by.
Grinning with a child-like sparkle in my eyes.

Twinkle better than a star.
Cause one is near while the other is so far.
Filling my heart with light.
To me nothing is quite so bright.
Bringing warmth on these cold dark eve’s.
There is no better way of bringing peace for me.

What’s Inside

Bright eyed and gripped by panic.
Enough nervous energy to keep me manic.
As sand shifts and times change,
I wonder what will come to pass.
Will tomorrow be an improvement on yesterday?
Rather than it be another notch further into this quagmire.

Feeling light headed and dizzy.
Chattering without saying anything.
Cynicism becoming the world.
Rage-baiting continuously hurled.
Want to shield from all this constant negativity.
Need to escape from this asylum ran by its patients.

Hand grenades and tantrum parades.
Watching in real time as terror sinks in.

Car crash unfolding in slow motion.
Don’t want my life to follow in devotion.
Commit treason against my peace and quiet.
I’ll sever my only line if it means there’s a chance to be fine.

Over stimulus to the nth degree.
Aggressively clinging to all parts of me.
Determined to not lose my smile.
Block out the weight of oppressive bile.
Shaking hands remind me of damage suffered.
I won’t let empathy become a distant memory.

Beacon

You are the brightest light to shine in the night.
Piercing the veil draped over my heart.
Shatter ice frozen upon my ragged form.
Welcome me back to this realm of living.
Your face sparkles in my mind’s eye.
Never will you be lost to me.

Chip away the rock that has come to form my skin.
Take these piece and make me whole again.
Fill this void that has been left to fester.
Your voice softens my otherwise violent nature.
Bring conclusion to this path of injustice.
Terminate all my affronts.

You bring warmth into my smile empty soul.
Tired of standing on the precipice of losing control.
Sick of radiation eating away at my will.
Exhausted until you brought an end to me feeling ill.
Venting toxin that I’ve held for too long.
Finally my twisted self in shadow is gone.

Viewer Discretion

Viewer discretion is prescribed.
See only what they wish you to view.
Censored joy to feed more dread.
To destruction we shall all be wed.
With eyes wide in permanent terror.
Resistance will see you in solitary forever.
For free thinkers are a fuel for rebellion.
Time is nigh to face personal oblivion.

Sense only what has been given.
Manufactured personality review.
Adhere to a world chosen for you.
Spout what they want you too.
Talking points bought and paid.
Writhing against them will see you flayed.
Imprisoned in plain and constant sight.
Rabid mentality will sap away your will to fight.

Generative content spread far and wide.
Slop made to influence you day and night.
Keep in line all who might try to resist.
Harder you try the greater it does persist.
This machine built to influence and control.
Even turns saint into vicious troll.
Feeding off the sick pleasure of inflicting pain.
Corporations decide upon what we should all campaign.
