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
