the darkness is more interesting
than the light, he sagely said

I do not contradict
his music profoundly in my head

is it darkness we encounter
when we end a corpse and dead?

or is Extinction something else
perhaps a Void of Light instead?

I
just
might
be
the
angriest
person
you
know

Pain perpetuates Pain
Pills push themselves.

I've been chasing Dragons before I could walk
                                                 before I could talk.

Singing eulogies to the undead
             Manifesting the unsaid

The unspoken secret we hide from ourselves.

I've hurt others.

I'm hurting myself.

I'm sorry, Queen of the sea
how rude and unfair of me
I didn't keep my promise and I flee
I just want to be free

Please let go of me
I can't sail anymore on this vast sea
Your pain and sorrow is haunting me
I just want to be free

Your heart is locked and I'm not the key
I cannot join you in this Odyssey
I'm getting devoured by my misery
I just want to be free

You have to accept that it is not me
The "One" in your so-called "Destiny"
So listen carefully, Your Majesty
Please, let yourself be free

Be free Queen of the sea

It’s terrifying
when you get hit
with a revelation at 2am
that you can’t picture yourself
five or ten years into the future
sharing a cosy suburban apartment
with the love of your life,
with a family to call your own.

DA FASTA, DA BETTA

When the people we’ve put in place to
      uphold our laws
Are the first people to ‘buck’ them
We’re in heap-big-trouble, kemosabe
      No doubt about that f**k-u story
All we get are the shrieks emanating
      from an oval-office
From the ‘beached-whale’ that’s parked
      there, barking orders
Fumigation is the answer; plenty of us
      who’ll do it, pro-bono
It won’t be a rash-disaster, the faster,
      the answer
Don’t throw-in-the-towel,
      but “GO DIRECTLY TO JAIL”
If we fail in removing this coffin-nail
— Ray Laccetti

The paper picks up the marks
And only after it is tainted
Is it beautiful
