Murderous Monday

aok

Oh its you despair we meet again
The murky hallways of my specter
You here to ruin my life again
In mask of fictitious protector

I hate myself again this morning
The evenings numbing never works
Good morning asshole here’s your life
Time to greet the grotesque smirks

They stare and snicker poking fun
Through the swinging of my mood
Call me names laughing from afar
They’re so god damn fucking rude

Maybe build an abstract fence
I hear fences make good neighbors
Or shoot the bastards one and all
Chalk it up as my life’s labors

Shut up despair I can’t do that
Stop pressuring me with those words
I don’t want to hurt nobody
The lines keep getting blurred

Someone help me someone please
Make the voice leave my head
I can’t hold myself responsible
Sanity hangs by crimson thread

Euphoria come back I need you again
Take me to that special sight
I need to find release from living
Despair let me breath tonight

Under The Tyranny Of The Gun

Al-Shabaab insurgents in Somalia

Blood exchanged for diamonds
Life removed for gold
The children of a country
Are being bought and sold
Communities are frightened
Populations of fear on the run
Innocent and oppressed living and dying
Under the tyranny of the gun

Bullets are their masters
Killing helps to thin the herd
Soldiers before reaching puberty
Obey the new masters word
They’ll rape your only daughter
Make a man out of your son
Never know peace of freedom living
Under the tyranny of the gun

Guerilla warfare in a pick up truck
Weaponized citizens rule the soul
Slice off limbs to prove a point
Spilling blood to maintain control
A mothers tears can sign no treaties
No fathers wars are ever won
Take my life its not worth living
Under the tyranny of the gun

Hunger Of The Gods

Plutocracy

Power
Power is the root
Sets lust afire
All the gods desire

All that is malevolent
Pernicious and vile
Food for the gods
Deceitful and guile

All that is evil
Wrapped up in greed
Money money money
To buy the power you need

Lie for it
Cheat for it
Harm for it
Beat for it

Scam for it
Huck for it
Swindle or
Fuck for it

Gimme the power
Gimme the juice
I got the money
Let’s cut and let loose

I only want more
I need to have power
To watch you all beg
To see you all cower

Money and power
Power and money
People will applaud you
Cuz people are funny

They want to be near
To bask in my splendor
Their lips on my ass
Praise the big spender

Trade for it
Drill for it
Love for it
Kill for it

Laugh for it
Cry for it
Live for it
Die for it

Power hungry
Money hungry
Profit hungry
People still going hungry
Everyday

Materialism, narcissism, money worshippers
Head the words of James Marshall Hendrix
“When the power of love overcomes the love of power the world will know peace”

Peace

Leonardo

leo

The bastard child without a last name
An outcast right from the beginning
His best know artwork devoid of smile
Or was it DaVinci who did all the grinning

On the streets of Florence is where he set out
With merely a paint brush and genius code
The Master bastard would change the world
With he family De Medici supplying the gold

Suspended atop the cities famous Duomo
Two tons of copper success does hang
Verrocchio with his overlooked protégé
Is from where all his true brilliance sprang

Da Vinci was commissioned to move to Milan
The Adoration Of The Magi unfinished
To apply his knowledge into the art of war
Importance of his bronze equestrian diminished

Giant crossbows and transportation in armor
Became his new Renaissance driven ambition
Architectural engineer of military equipment
Dancing on oil and canvas no longer his mission

Perhaps Leonardo’s true genius lay in the obscure
Messages he encoded in geometric beauty
Is The Last Supper is more than meets the eye
To Leo his art was much more than mere duty

But were Papal conspiracies encoded in art
Symmetric symbolism from the master of maze
Or are we all anxious to be part of a mystery
Enthralled to be included in every new craze

Run Away

run

Run away

Run for glory run for fame
Run head first into the flame
Run from panic run from fright
Run away into the light

Spent most of life running away
From what I’m not quite sure
If you make it to the finish line
They say there’s another door

I don’t know if that’s all true
Keep running just the same
Not away but straight into
The excitement of the game

While you’re running look around
The most amazing sights you’ll see
Drink the beauty smell the wonder
Mysteries of livings uncertainty

Stumbles may cause a slower pace
At times falling to the ground
Just get back up and run again
Without a whimper or a sound

I never know what’s lies ahead
A times I forget what’s behind
So I run reckless toward the light
Can’t move when you’re confined

Cuz all that’s left is what’s behind
Among shattered glassine dreams
Oblivious are the sighted blind
Nothing’s ever what it seems

Run for glory run for fame
Run head first into the flame
Run from panic run from fright
Run away into the light

Dead Man Walking

dead walk

Once I got my courage swinging down the Jack
But Jack he ain’t welcome round here anymore
Stuck me in this eight by six shoebox coffin
Got busted stumbling out the wrong back door

Nevermind the furthermore the plea is self defense
But being drunk just don’t give ya scuse to kill
Her husband caught me in his shack naked not alone
Had to shoot or it was my blood gonna spill

Counting hours here on death row ain’t no place to be
Everyone round here knows that yawl about to die
Make room fella’s theys a dead mans walking
Smell of sorrows trail the green mile straglin’ by

Yesterdays horrors haunt the oncoming evil squall
Winds shouting Abandon all hope ye who enter here
Thunder and lightning crackle mocking at my conscience
Crowd awaits my death while shedding not a tear

Strapped to a chair by the pains of all of my victims
Collective anticipation of life departing from my soul
A pinch in the arm and slight burn of the killing fluids
My audience smiles to see me lose all my control

Justice is a precarious and problematic concept
One mans beneficial deed another’s repugnant act
Slippery slopes and a blindfolded constitution
May be the reason the bells of liberty are cracked

Ode To The Alone Star State

texas

I forgot about the Alamo and I feel like shit
Bought some yellow roses to make up for it
Gimme some bluebonnet and sage brush too
When Y’all in Texas that’s just what you do

Thars a twelve year old bride not wearing white
The baby bump on her belly there is quite a sight
Thars a racist cowboy wearing snakeskin boots
Plus a ten gallon hat and a gun that shoots

Seems they carry guns bout wherever they go
So they can shoot a possum if it move too slow
Or maybe they bargain hunting with some live ammo
Guess that’s why tourist seasons so gol damn slow

Mmmm possum on the half shell sure sounds good
Cook the dead armadillo thar under the hood
So friggen hot the eggs they cook in the road
Add a bit of road kill n Yawl hit the mother lode

They leaves y’all a light on thar at motel six
They give ya clean sheets but got to shake it free of ticks
Went to the manager said “I got a leak in the sink”
He says “ Pee where you want son” n gave me a wink

The Texas cockroach bout a big as a kitten
Free dinner each night hope yawl like chitlin
Each room has a couch that was a cars backseat
The only television what works is in the bridal suite

Staying with a friend down at the trailer park
We sat down for a beer when he made this remark
“I think yawl aught a give me a round of applause
I married three times still got the same in-laws”

Waco -The Tower Sniper -The lone Star State
I best be leaving Galveston afore it get too late
Looking over all the pick-ups with a rifle rack
Be a hundred fifty years if even come back
Short sighted narrow minded Texarkana dream
NASCAR Monster trucks wrestling is supreme
My way or highway politics getting in the way
Of moving Texas forward much to our dismay

The try em and fry em state now uses noxious gas
The LGBT community call y’all the Big Tex-ass
If yer goal is fer you to separate I hope you will succeed
All that’s got to happen now is for alla yawl to secede

No hard feelings Texas, but seriously, lighten up a bit yawl, take yer shoes off and stay awhile. Love on another, even the ones that ain’t jus like you….Peace out Y’all

Sex And Leverage

Da-Liar

Dermal switchblade
Dipped in lust
Ripping her nature
Phallic mistrust

Abject refusal
Pornographic fence
Gate swinging open
Seminal offense

Answer with doubt
Reply with a wound
Repetitive scarring
True love is doomed

Says she needs me
Closes the door
Clamping her vice
A visceral whore

Pierce with the blade
All the way in
Deliriously sated
Full to the brim

Lust is erotic
Pain can elate
Submissive reaction
Both numb and sedate

Surrender to hunger
Seeking gratification
Lust driven libido
Metaphoric castration

Satin and tears
handcuffs and lace
Squealing elation
Pleading embrace

Coital alignment
Feral sex lovers
Dance to a climax
Beneath satin covers

Clitoral indulgence
Penile attention
Erotic excitement
And sexual tension

Wanton sexplosion
Flames of desire
Simultaneous release
Bodies on fire

Banished emotion
Forbidden acts
Sex as a weapon
Eternal love pacts

The higher the climb
The steeper the fall
To climax is worth it
Heartbreaks and all

The Thrill In The kill II (Hunters perspective)

kill

Crouched in the shadows a spider in waiting
Fingers anxiously caressing my stiletto
A shape in the distance perhaps a young man
Can’t wait to slice his deep voice to falsetto

He senses my presence he’s looking about
I strategically gain spatial enclosure
He quickens his pace attempting escape
But I’m prepared to invest his foreclosure

Time to pounce and feel élan leave his torso
The zeal of his frenzy warming my soul
Right hand gripping tightly on my death stick
Left under his chin to gain surgical control

The first cuts the deepest it true what they say
But the second bears a dynamic elation
Warm blood is trickling across my knuckles
My heart pounding a glorious summation

Crimson life syrup spurting out from his neck
Filling my hands with thick sanguine mud
He gurgles out once a lame bloody protest
His death a canvas I paint with his blood

Evisceration elates me to orgasmic climax
I writhe in gratuitous anticipation
With lethal precision I slice flesh and bone
Sexual release with each deep laceration

Spin him around so I can view the departure
To watch life drain from his sunken blue face
Wildly my soul trembles a tune of ecstasy
Its almost done and my heart starts to race

Its over he’s dead paranoia setting in
Look around make sure no one can see
Gotta run away now before I get caught
Back to my bed where I bask in the glee

But when I arrive sick replaces my bliss
Vomit extinguishes the once lustful flame
Depression and revulsion will fill up my days
Until the next slaying can wash out my shame

The Thrill In The Kill I (Preys Perspective)

Night air quickly darkened so eerily uneasy
As I tread cautious along a tree lined path
Footsteps in the shadow pursue relentless
Tap out a caution of oncoming wrath

Heart pounds a warning-imminent danger
Perhaps a case of wrong place wrong time
In paranoia the pace of my stride it quickens
My destiny to fall victim of ominous crime

The shadow insists upon closing up the gap
Why am I about to face this stalkers fate?
I shouldn’t have traveled alone down here
What’s done is done and now its too late

My hunter is gaining quick his precious ground
Seconds seem to be ticking in heart pounding silence
I feel the motion from a pair of subversive arms
The killer’s poised to unleash bloody violence

Steel blade is cold against my quivering skin
Rips my flesh changing the ice to a burn
Warm streams of life trickle out from my neck
Sanguine copper taste makes my stomach churn

I can sense ultimate glee as he shreds through a vein
Can almost feel the maniacal menacing smile
His heart is a racing even faster than mine
I try to shout with a voice stuck in denial

Warm streams of plasma pours down my neck
Sap of my essence draining from beats of my heart
Pumping to the rhythms of a dying collective
But its the sheer panic that rips me apart

His breath hot and laborious sprays over my face
I’ve been posed for psychotic viewing pleasure
With wild eye yet empty meaningless smile
Watching my life run out is his reward of treasure

As I fall to the ground no muscles come to my aid
My abandoned body tumbles into submission
I feel ounces of vitality pooling out of my being
As I prepare myself for the ultimate transition

My mind is as blurry as the streaking in my eyes
Waiting for my life to get flashed across the sky
But I lay here stagnant as hope bleeds through
There’s nothing to do but accept I will die

A strange object is lodge in my throat
I cough to expunge a ball of bloody debris
Darkness sets in around the eyes of my world
Karmic retribution is all that’s left for me

I feel nothing now the pain and panic gone
Cant even hear the murderous creep
I have no time to think about life
Its…time…for…me…to…..sleep
