Revulsion

Revulsion 11/7/2014 

Eleven seven fourteen

The paradox is open

And there is no shutting it now

Spreading like a wildfire

And mutating like a virus.

A phony war

And a phony flag

All made up for show

But only a fool can deny

What everyone should know. 

But the truth is in the folds

Perfectly creased

Because that is what its for

To chew up the good

All boxed up and sold.

Staged like a vignette

And lighted on cue

Because its all about image

And never about the truth. 

 

Murder, assault, and rape

Because the horror is here

Boiling and bubbling over,

Everywhere. 

The medics weep

At what they see

As torture and death

Explode across the land.

Evil has come

But its time is short

So it must spend its fury

In every way it can. 

Today I work

And tonight I go home

To hold my family close

And love them

With all my strength. 

Now is a time to pray

And do so with all your heart

Asking for provision, protection,

And grace.   

Ignition

Trickle Trickle  11/6/2014

There is always somebody

Who will light the fuse

So full of themselves

That they never learn

Or grow. 

A good man will compromise

And question himself

But evil only hates

And destroys.

It’s easy to spot

And difficult to miss

But sometimes they hide themselves

Behind the naive

And the foolish. 

Hiding their true form

Until it’s too late

And they are close enough

To strike

From below or behind. 

Slippery slime is hard to hold

And it oozes between your fingers

Dripping on the floor

Disassembling in order to escape

Only to assemble again. 

They circle the wagons

And will say anything to survive

All they while stalling for time

As ignorance spreads

Like germs.

For them, there is no logic

And there is no reason

Only a deep and vile hatred

Bubbling and seething. 

The math will  always equal

What they want

And the sum is meaningless

To the putrid

And the vile.

Slithering around their belly

All they desire is power

By any means necessary

Including extortion and murder.

But nothing lasts forever

And neither will they

Just dead men

Covered with skin. 

Even now they meet

And form the circle

Calculating subterfuge,

Misery, and invasion. 

The fury will be spent

And the tide shall come

But even this,

Is already over

Predicted, filed, and done.  

Betrayal is not new

And murder is as old as man

Born of jealousy

Over innocence

And light. 

The prophets were murdered

But how many were silenced

Over threat?

Buried by time

Obedient and cowed.

Appearance can deceive

But the truth exposes all

When the covers are ripped off

What will God find?

Fireball

Fireball 11/5/2014

No candle lasts forever

And neither do we

At least not as we are

In the here

And now. 

But we arise

And we speak for a reason

So we can either eat it up

Or watch it rot.

Drink down, the cup fully

And let the juices

Run down your neck

Because this is a time to live boldly

And never look back. 

Streak like a fireball across the sky

Flaming, as it burns up

Furiously shedding sparks  

High above our heads. 

There is a time for everything

Like gunning the engine

In a fast car

On a deserted road.

Surging forward

And burying the needle sideways

As the leaves

Scatter behind.    

The parties end 

And then the masks come off

And so it is, with us

Right here, and now. 

The true face comes out

Contorted with rage

As evil burns out of control

Consuming everything it can. 

Unmasked, we all are

And now, is the time to decide

What it is, that matters

And what it is,

That is right.  

Mash Up

Mash Up 11/4/2014

Every day

And in every way

We either descend into madness

Or channel it

Into something else. 

The urge to live

Is imprinted in our brains

As must as anything else

We fight

To survive.

It’s good to be thankful

But we have bitten the apple

So now we see

And must decide. 

But even the worst of things

Can lead to something good

But only if we know to ask

And be not afraid. 

The sameness of today

Does not end

Unless it is interrupted by good

Or bad. 

Suddenly the world can change

Or it came come unglued

But either way

As long as we live

We still must choose. 

I tried to stay away

And I tried to pull up the covers

But something inside would not let me give up

And would not let me die.

It was dark

But someone switched on the light

Awakening something sleeping inside

Dormant and dumb.

But now that our eyes are opened

There is no excuse

But only just enough grace

To get us through. 

It’s easy to get lost

And it’s easy to get distracted

Chasing after shiny objects

Until we can’t go on. 

Wasting our energy

And depleting our soul

We fall helpless and frail

Without learning at all. 

A fool should have seen it coming

But I never noticed a thing

As I let the current carry me

Wherever it wanted to go. 

The day I started to stand

Was the day I began to lose

As one thing after another

Battered me from every direction. 

If I lose

I can still win

As long as I know

And remember.

But when it counts

We will endure

Even if we lose it all

We gain everything. 

All comes in due time

When even us flightless birds

Soar in the heavens

Here, there, and everywhere. 

We will yet have the feast

That has always been so elusive

As we dine forever

Commiserating, learning and sharing

All that was and so much more.  

As human as we are

Our essence can be tracked backwards

From invisible parts

And we will live

Even if we die. 

Aberrant

Aberrant  11/4/2014

Perhaps its accidental

Or perhaps it’s something else

That we each unique 

And one of a kind. 

We are constructed in darkness

From pieces 

Too small to see

And we remain a mystery 

Even to ourselves.   

We remember in part

But God has keeps many secrets

Protecting us

Until all of it,

Is done.

I was drunk

And I was stoned

Dead unto myself

And a waste unto the world.

I sat at a table

And let my mind drift

Watching people disappear

Coming and going

For God knows what.

My friend left for the bathroom

But I knew what he was doing

As awareness returned

With dread and pain.

We are afraid of reality

And what we might find

But it hurts less, than we think

Because nothing hurts more 

Than running away.

But no matter how far you run 

The nightmares return 

And what worked once 

Is not enough now 

As the guilt and fear

Drive you insane. 

Something happened

And I am not the same person

That I was then

As an invisible switch

Flicked on in the night. 

There is no explanation

And we all remain

One step away from oblivion

Fragile on the outside

And indestructible within.  

So there must be reason

For this slippery moment

As it squirms and wiggles

Out of our hands. 

We can try and forget

But in the end

It is impossible

As it burns a pathway

Across our brains.

The experiences and memories 

Are apart of me

And I have become a part of them

Each one a part of the whole

Living for each other

In an organism

We cannot control. 

Everybody is looking for something

And they might be looking for you

Crawling like spiders

In and out 

And everywhere.

Some men seek to protect

But others seek to control

No matter who it hurts

Without a conscience

And without a soul. 

But for us

It’s not about being better

And it’s not about being worse

But all about standing apart

And living beyond.
