Forego future value for a quick sale today.Cash-in to get notoriety.Fire sale built to cripple everybody. Buy into trends never meant to last.Cheap tricks to have you join the downcast.While speaking word salad to masses more.Don’t you see?You’re a mouthpiece of a failing regime. Spewing bile on prime time tv.Conscious decisions go down in three.AllContinue reading “Cash-In”

Sharpened Rust
Bloodlust tendencies wrapped in a sugar coated shell.Laying deceit at every turn so victory is assured.Case in point is such a lie when all that exists are schemes. Sever hope from reality to leave prosperity a dream.Throw feints to disguise when a strike will come.Siphon purity until the writing of a perfect ending. Miasma fog.CloudingContinue reading “Sharpened Rust”
Angels Cry
Bow your heads for the dying.So many taken too soon.Pity it is seldom the lying.They would be better branches to prune. Upon the bones of heroes.Tenderness begins to wither.Health fades but no one knows.Replaced by tyrants who always slither. Foregone.Everything is going wrong.Angles cry ashen blood.Kiss goodbye to all that was good.Another innocent claimed. CorruptionContinue reading “Angels Cry”
Wound To Scar
Blade in hand and death in heart.What loitered at inception no longer has a part.Siphon oils from rocks of noon.Across days of old these victims continue to loom. Crushed beneath tomes of crooked smiles.Just a cause is not guiding you with dials.Conjure secrets meant to damn.Those who remain will only ever sell a sham. IonizedContinue reading “Wound To Scar”
On This Old Horizon
Looking for an outcome. What does it take to find coins in the rain?Am I still dreaming cause it feels like nothing will change.Rapture on the front door while venom soaks the grass.Linger in this atmosphere might result in a sea of glass. Gathering in circles as if to pretend tides can speak.Anecdotes and facsimilesContinue reading “On This Old Horizon”
Dark Legacy
You’d eat human flesh just to satiate your hunger.Vile and depraved is your forever state.Using bones to pick teeth filled with young sinew.What lives within is only an abyss that somewhere doesn’t kill you. A dark legacy forged in brutal times.Surrender is only for the weakest of minds. Gathering innocents as if they are cannonContinue reading “Dark Legacy”
Make Heavens Hear
Choose joy over madness.Don’t give in to sadness.Spark a fire in your heart.Grin and do your part.Ignore harsh warnings for they neuter your soul.Grab your future with both hands abd never let me! Some will try to cage you, because they broke themselves.Others will try to enrage in the face of their own cowardice.But youContinue reading “Make Heavens Hear”
Converting Imperial
Converting a republic to an imperial state.All you care about is how much you can take, take, take.Unravelling order to install centralised chaos.Greed is your one true lust.Leeching life of its energy. Redact what the masses will abhor.First distraction attempt to be launched on four.Gerrymandering to strengthen your ego.Failing to grasp we all know.Your issuingContinue reading “Converting Imperial”
Simultaneous Tenses
Your voice is like silk and it’s all I can hear.Makes me smile wide from ear to other ear.A feeling deep down that makes my heart flutter.Enough is the feeling that it threatens to make me stutter.Yet nothing compares to the scent you exude.Calming my nervous and leaving me renewed.Humbled I feel to drink inContinue reading “Simultaneous Tenses”
Ziggurat
Lies so deep we’re going have to drill to find the bottom.All these speeches you pretend will be forgotten.Cause every thing you do is in pursuit of constructing fable.Painting a picture that you are the most capable.Ignoring detractors as they replay your controversies. For you only have one service.To build your ziggurat.Founded a cult pretendingContinue reading “Ziggurat”
