American Being creative makes me happy
Pull the curtain from over your eyes See beyond the constructed lies Stop your judging and demented cries Of those whose point of view you deny Feign ignorance to the truth you will not see Watch the tide rise as common sense recedes Hunker down in your dogmatic cocoon Only to emerge and naive buffoon Logic and science are trickery and bewitchment Such are the thoughts of the ignorant   Stick to your beliefs and fears like glue For you read it in a sacred book so it must be true Ask no questions and deny no absolutes See where that takes you if you are so resolute Watch the world crumble around you and blame the devil For hes the creator of all ills and evil revel Watch the powers that be consume and destroy As they take away all living things health and joy Pretend I offend your moral code But deep down inside you fester with hypocritical mold To NOT ask questions and seek new ways Is to annihilate the future of all earthly days

Questions of Morality
Starry eyes starry skies I listened to those whispered lies celestial bodies destined to collide destined to destroy the core inside magnetic attraction with a deadly extraction you left a black hole in my heart with your reaction icy hands and icy lips we're two galaxies stuck together in a death grip

Cosmic Canundrum
Where do I go from here "who am I," is ask myself who is going to care like he did where do I want to go who do I want "where can I find him," I ask myself where should I look who can I trust why did I do this to myself "what have I become" I ask myself what should I do why do I feel this way What will the future hold "why cant I be satisfied alone," I ask myself why should I need him what will it be like without him where do I go from here but into the unknown

Into the Unknown
When I hear that electronic chirp of sophisticated miniature machinery I get excited because I think its you I shouldn't I have a momentary notification of heavy disappointment when its not You poke around my brain There is no reason for me to feel this way I know only artificial rays of light entering your eyes You shouldn't hold such high status in mine I am nothing to you in actuality and you should be nothing to me

Electronic Crush
I sometimes sit and think about how I wouldn't mind if the world ended I know its wrong of me to say that at face value, but deep down inside I know we all think it not that the earth itself should be destroyed into oblivion, but the opposite that the world should live on and the cancerous growth of humanity should be cured its a pessimistic way of looking at things , I know, but I cant help but feel this short ride of ours on this planet is careening out of control I'm not a nihilist or an anarchist or an environmentalist nor a ********* for that matter I'm not afraid to die because I believe I will no longer exist when I do but the pointlessness of it all and the blatant disregard for others, other species other lives other kinds other minds disregard for the future for cleanliness leads me to these thoughts, that a septic surplus has arisen on this singularly magnificent gift of life in this one and only known universe and we sit here ******** all over it... I sometimes think it'd be best if we all just left

End of Days
Stagnation has set in and that old friend misery has come around "sit down old friend, I say "whats new?" "Misery loves company and holding hands is for lovers and aren't we lovers?" I say. Satisfaction eludes and frustration reigns. Heavy hearted I say, "I feel like melting into the carpet, and you?" but misery doesn't answer. I'd puff away on a cigarette if I smoked in an overly dramatic self masochistic way but I don't so I eat chocolate and ask misery if there's any **** But we settle for the bottle of cooking wine in the back of the cabinet, "so its come to this, whats next? girdles and bingo?" I say. Dissatisfaction sets in and anger wins. I see a picture on the fridge with his **** eating grin. There's still beer cans in the trash and on the counter from the day before; hes in the other room. Misery and I sit in the kitchen together indefinitely

Misery
I dug myself a whole when I gave you my heart ever since then I've done nothing but fall apart so much time and so much shame to have wasted my life an someone so lame I take solace in being free why there's so much fish left in the sea atrophied and out of practice I update my relationship status cold and naked like a newborn cut from the womb with a knife I am a fresh soul once again in this unforgiving life

In a Field
uncomfortably unsure so unstable is being content one minute so sure the next not the utmost unrest lies within the gut what was solid is loose what was safe is confining one contaminant one seed planted can uproot the entire foundation such a fanatic into a heretic there is no such thing as permanence and those in the wake will hurt

oh rotting flower oh how pretty you look sitting in your vase how nice of your purple pedals to open and curl and your leaves to wilt and crunch under my heavy hand such a paradox that you sit upon my table slowly meeting your end, painfully I would imagine, as we "ooo" and "aww" at your grandeur and rarity such a fine line between acceptable death, beauteous death, and ugly smelly death one day your wilting stem and **** was cute in a sad way oh rotting flower how I feel for you as one would feel for a friend being laughed at or taken advantage of because I know what end you will meet at the hands of coveting eye oh rotting flower thank you for your sacrifice
