Never-ending anthem of youth Sing your tune la da de la de da Can you not hear it? Don't worry only a few do the rest simply act it through

Love
These 0200 mornings starting the day before even resting from the last my mind races calling forth all the seamless tales of old These tales -> play mistakes -> play lies -> play truths -> play shes -> play the criminating flashes propose punishment a broken heart, trust in no one, faith only in deception, These mornings all is not enough to appease my accuser that is fine because These accusations were not placed face to face These are just tales that repeatedly punish a broken heart, trust in no one, faith only in deception, These mornings a broken heart, trust in no one, faith only in deception, These mornings a broken heart, cracked, and bleeding These mornings are you happy?

These
Propagated footfalls build a steady rhythm. The path filed down The grass and dirt are beaten No one treads lightly. In defense, Stones emerge unburied – revealed, emerged, appeared, Rising into shoes. The rubber always stomps the trail out. The end Off in the distance can Shut out the world but don’t Let the journey be overshadowed

Beaten Trails
A fog crept down from the hills Of our fathers. She stopped in fear, Cowering before the bleakness, I ate it whole. My eyes see her, But the world is not one-sided. The sea lapped at the sand, slowly eating it away. The quiet feast drained our beautiful discourse But Nothing will ever appease the sea I say ever. It was never. In the Amazon, exotic draws in its prey. Not through attractiveness but through mystery. I found your river its depths never touched, Lying beneath are countless secrets. Should I search for them? Solve all the problems? For answers, War will rage, countless will die. War is what she never understood. Its allure, You think me sick, maybe. But when I pass, lives will have changed, and she She will be sitting not on a beach. Not in the Amazon, not even among her hallowed mountains. She will be a charmed snake, attuned to the flat never- Ending expanse of world that grows and is harvested yearly. We lived through fog. Well, I lived. She crawled and hid through the cacophony Of hidden beauty. Go out, live rough, take the hard road. End Log:

Travel Log:
Darker skinned breeds pale. Those cold months are the worst. They say “but you look so white”, the insult mixed breeds get. The sitting around, lounging inside bleaches. Indoors is to blame, something surely created by whites to alter the darker pigmented people. A created space of normalcy, it requires upkeep and a source from which to draw power. Assimilate, feel the fake light? Satisfactory for who? There is no greater trap. You want confusion? Step into a mixed breed’s mind. The whole world becomes shades and I, I am, whatever the viewer wants, an in-between. But winter, So **** white, She is the hardest.

The Winters
Begin: Before Birth Platypus Came to America Sent to celebrate my birth He was small by monetary holds Heart is all First gift full of heart End: 18 years of lies? Platypus Rests in a home Placed to mark a pairing He is now a small piece seperated Heart is all A token full of heart

Platypus
Lightning, the perfect light A flash and gone Darkness rules We Seep into every space with only A flash Before youre taken Crawling to a stop they look around for the noise It will be too late As if them ever had enough time Shirley always too busy for them Peter needs friends not them Them don’t even want them Them look forward to work Business takes them’s time away Darkness does not care We will take your time Them’s attention is too short But them will always try Shirley never wanted to go Peter always just sleeps With your eyes dark Light brings understanding Not tonight only flashes of un dr stnd g Storm Make light fade Wipe faster Not enough for clarity Constant rhythm Cheat Get caught Them are perfect Shirley and Peter are dark no A no way life needs A’s, light needs S neither come Flash: Shut up Peter! Flash:Quit bickering! Flash:like you two are e am pl s Screeching Stopped Cabin light on: get out now! Finish this? You never finish anything This trip will finish now Shirley hates this Men never happy as bravo male Its dark, them can we just go? Off they go into the south looking Flash: Turn! Too Late Don’t always trust your light Seeing everything does not cl r fy We know Seeing, Turning makes them whole We Rule the road

Heading South
Count your self small among the lights What do you know? Looking, seeing, nothing All is vast in that emptiness
