Seemingly Something


Machete Politics

Crowd Tabloid Lined Minds

Falsifying Whats Accepted

Angering Hidden Realms

Creatures In Cages

Lash Out Begging

Independence; Denied.

Sealed Plastic

Liners Cut Veins

Into Mother;

Her Children

Lay Squawking

Defeated By Need

Mascara Rain

Turns Clear

As Filters Fix

Divide And Conquer

Fears Once Hopes

End Too; Suffocated.

Cradled We Wait

Breathing Controversy

Inhaling Suspicions

Spiting Putrid Humanity

Onto Gum Lined Histories

Inarticulate Children

Hide Instead Of Seek

While Conspiracy

Lurks In Alleyways

Around Smoothed Corners

Preying On Kindness

Killing What's Taught

Deductions Made

Reward Stolen; Sold.

Silent Dancers Stroll

Gaining Disease

Losing Nothing

Leaving Hollowed

Happy Mirrors

Sing Lullabies

Calming Exercise

With Heavy Weight

Cries For Help

Echo From Down The Hall

Neighbor's Betrayed Silence

Unheard; Forgotten.

Forward Device,

Backwards Mind

Paused Ambition

Cares Little Now

Is quite; Controlled.

Forgiven, Inlaid

And Counted, Free.

Jokers Vote In Kings

Gluttonous Riches Kill

No One Hears; Acquitted.

Liars Argue Truth

While Justice Takes Holiday

And Is Lost; Overboard.

End, Swiftly Hides

Too Shy To Raise An Eye

Ants And Satellites Wait

Mortality Dies

And For The Last Time

Aborted; It's Free.
