American My friends keep telling me to switch sites / first i was on poem hunter and poet freak and now here / My names Jack but they call me Smack on account of the rhyme Street lingo / 4/4 oglala lakota native and u.s. army desert storm vet / Spent a lot of time on the streets but am getting back on my feet / Hope you like my little poems
The boys hit the girls and the boys hit other boys the boys grow up and got guns the girls too and they shoot the other men and women and boys and girls and bury them in mass graves but just the same I love seeing the sunshine when it's raining outside.

The Cycle
Oh hey hey hey Stop ! that get out of that garbage can Look man . taking perfectly good Excess food thrown into a dumpster is still a crime What? No... it ain’t my job to argue who’s committing the Crime "I just work here man" I ain’t interested in your rants about the man Keeping us down Look I know you gotta eat /But "Don’t make me get out my taser" Don’t you know One man’s trash is still Their property until It hits the landfill and We Burn It Into The Suffering Sky?

Conversations With Security - The Suffering Sky
[Flashback] You know sometimes I think I'm still afraid of you and sometimes maybe I'm still in love with you other times I sometimes still wake up with a dry mouth and cold sweats screaming your name until my throat is so sore **** I swear I'm gonna bleed gagging on those memories those ghosts of ****** noses and broken mirrors keep me up all night like alley cats ****** each other in the street But I also think that ain't all [Hangover] because after all these long and tired weather beaten years when we both stopped looking like we did when we were sixteen and got gray haired and bitter I think we both know that we can never really leave each other [Overdose] That's why after all this time we can meet up we can eat some stolen pills chug a beer or two and finish off a warm bottle of wine then talk about all those old hard knock times while we can sit together on your bed and use super glue to patch up ***** glass cuts you made all over your legs

Plague Plague Plague
Whiskey Stevens was the best **** piano (but say it pi-ana) player I ever met: even with that missing pinkie Whiskey though like most pirates (even the ones never seen a ship) he wouldn't lay off that *** which is funny since his nickname was Whiskey but he swore it was his given first name and shouldn't define the kind of drink he liked By the time he met Long John Sally who used to be a woman of ill repute but now was a run and gunslinger with a revolver in her boot his liver was already shot to hell pickled and rotten and she was a hacking up clods of greasy blood from what they called THE consumption (consumption junction, won't long function!) Well Whiskey thought he was gonna get lucky but Long John Sally just wanted to try their luck at a poker game so she sat Whiskey down and made the stakes higher than an ***** den ****** He had the better cards but he also made a crude joke about Poker (but say it Poke-her) and Sally whipped out her revolver faster on the draw than poor Whiskey Stevens hammered on the hammer AND A GOOD GA'LL **** and poor Whiskey didn't die from liver failure but head-staying-in-one-piece failure Sally ain't got an ounce or pint or any other measurement of remorse and laughs and laughs but THE MAN UPSTAIRS gets the last laugh because the laughin' started up a coughing fit her last and worst and she comes crashing down on the table stone dead cards and chips flying to the heavens and Whiskey and Sally flying down to hell

If I Made a Cowboy Movie It Would Be Like This And You'd Love It
I danced crazy dances on a dumpster with a crazy girl with infected crusty/bleeding scabs on her knees and I think I know how they - got there. She's one of those twisted mad/junkie types crashing into life like automatic weaponry raining down from helicopters exploding people's heads like pumpkins She moves fast and doesn't give a **** about what happens next. Back to the scabs...She can't go see a doctor, where the hell would she go? I was thinking I'd take some change and buy some peroxide and pour them on her knees - but I don't think she'd let me /and it might be too late for that That angry reddish streak coming up from one of them performing some kind of hostile takeover on her leg she's running from her problems but she ain't gonna get far if they have to amputate. I tried not to retch and throw up bile on her thinking about it (haven't ate yet) because I don't think it's her fault we all gotta make a living somehow/ just some of us are dying faster than others while they do it. I hate the way this society treats women.
