American Dream

Pursuit of hopes shattered by false popes

Expectations withered by words from plastic puppets

Dreams seasoned black via deep-fried prophets

Dream chasing fueled by capitalistic illusions

Smokescreen equality created by cabalistic elites

Selfishness parallels cultural toxicity, venomous pollution

Thoughts handcuffed by hidden class rules

Mental slavery, an intelligent design

Lowbrows segregated into cattle like pews

Knives in the backs of disenfranchised peers

Slave fighting slaves for crumbs fallen off silver plates

Circus and bread as highbrows’ clink wine glasses--Cheers.

Status quo remains chained to a wall of historic humiliation

Mass idleness drips in with famished pain, self-esteem flayed

Only collective pain can trigger socially progressive change

Book Worm

Book Worm

Inhaling novels, essays, and poems

Swallowing verbs, nouns, and adjectives like handfuls of pills

Mental escapes from suffering and hate, anesthetizing motives

Self-medicating on creativity’s playground
Chugging short stories numb like cheap wine deals
Mortal horrors dissolve into mystic dream-worlds
Exhaling rhymes fortifying spiritual rebounds

Again And Again And Again

Head spins as stomach churns, dizzy
Lust and attraction and love swirling flummoxed
Lies and betrayal and rejection burns white hot

Heart scarred inside out
Emotional fool turned out
Silence abounds, flame blown out

Self-reflection proliferated with psychedelic insight
Spiritual guidance pregnant with hindsight’s forewarning
Sadness’ tears cleansing of perilous plights, a healing rite

Momma's Resume

Living life underneath a wardrobe of masks

Delusional anecdotes nourished globular

Truth vomited—allergic reaction

Self-inflicted wounds, merciful cries embroiled in wet-less tears

Pockets filled by profits off exploitation of her children’s horrors

Tireless tongue flapping, exaggerated tales of victimization

Grim’s scythe sharpened, revenge’s chops drooling

A legacy enveloped in crimson flavored unforgiveness

Mother's heart black-ice frozen, underground broiling

Voluntary Enslavement

Lizards herd sheep into corrals of false images

Lambs nurtured on greasy disinformation

Greed idolized, fattened by spiritual pillage

Obey, obey, obey, the sublime truth

Running in circles, trapped in a neverending rat race

A system designed by fork tongued pigs

Lion-heart gorillas lay listless, outnumbered

Total control equates total corruption, no saving grace

En-caged in a concrete jungle, no escape

Rebellious hearts eviscerated

Publicly displayed by stool pigeons, snake-faced

Mutiny's blood drips crimson on a tyrant’s trident for profits sake

Beautiful Baby Boy

A life sparked, stoked in sulfur womb warmth

An infant birthed under white fiery eyes watching

Screams for comfort blistered by fists of familial legacy

Razed in a scorned recapitulation of a father’s past

A baby baked in parental abandonment, glazed by a mother’s apathy

Tiny heart blazed for an ashtray end

Starved for attention, as nurturance stirred molten

A soul pulverized, burnt, a boy neglected

Child branded body scarred just like grandpa’s

White smoke, flickering flame fainted

Loved less than cigarette droppings, toxic compost
Ashes to ashes, dust billowed in the wind

Forgot by Mourn, a child's light smothered
Grief applauded a heritage extinguished
A spirit deep fried, rising phoenix wingless

An Island onto Oneself

A infant’s vision distorted

A child’s psyche splintered

A teenager enraged, caged

A low life educated

A tattooed miscreant evolved

A black ice perception thawed

A passionate, empathetic man accepted

A competitive man rejected

A man lost in bottomless perplexion
