Johnny Appleseed.
****** us up good didn't you?

If you plant a tree in Eden
You're an angel
But Mom and Dad ate an apple
Cain got mad and killed Abel
With the *** he wears on his head

Now he runs around smoking herb and planting trees
Cain was just like you Mr. Appleseed
Two farmers tag teamed
He made a pretty good side kick

A seed from Johnny's Apples
Was a Johnny Apple's seed
That Seeded an Apple tree
So Johnny's baby Appleseeds
Could seed more apple trees
To eat off Johnny Apple's seeds

Choke on that Mother Earth

Johnny Appleseed's tree is long and hard
Ripe with juicy fruit
And we all know mankind has a sweet tooth

Knock on wood

Paul Bunyan is Jesus
Cutting down trees of life since day one
Just wait til he gets nailed and impaled on one
Meanwhile an angel with a fire sword chased a snake out of the garden
            
             Johnny
Human
             Appleseed
Nature

A field in the distance
It’s edge is in the corner of class room windows
I can see it

Windows open on an Autumn day
Cool Wind blowing in memories of Eden
Dulled by my sense of touch

Life on the edge of death
The world is in its prime
Vibrancy fills my senses
I’m awake!
I long to see God again
My body hurts for it.

I’m excited
I just might jump out this second story
And find Eden for myself

They should really put screens on these windows
They may stop a bullet
But if you forget to close them
You can’t stop me.

Thank you for this beautiful day.

How’d those spots get on the moon?
That’s where the astronauts wrestle.
Papa said Andre the giant came over to his house for fried chicken one Sunday.
Guess who got whooped?
But Papa has never been to space.
So I’m not sure how he’d do against Neil Armstrong

Gravity is tricky business
You’ll catch on when you get older
Thats why it all become less dreamy
And everything starts to sag

Green lantern came over the Sunday after.
He got a whoopin that he couldn’t have imagined
Probably why that ring doesn’t work anymore
It’s funny how imagination is a super power once you’re past 20.

Space helmets covered in chalk dust from where the kids used to play.

She used to smile for all the right reasons
But now it's not only at the irony
When another thousand pound straw is laid across her back
And another unspoken slight wipes it off her face

Her eyes used to sparkle
But that green has faded to gray
Up close you can see it
She's not the same anymore

She smiled and her whole face lit up
Now it's a faint turn at the corner of her mouth

She straightened her hair every day

Now it’s pony-tailing seven step and half-kids to school

Now it’s sitting at home
She was bullied into “place”
He’s losing his shape
And everyone is going crazy

Everyone is fading into Mom-jeans and pullover hoodies
Silent tables

This was never what eating dinner as a family was supposed to look like.

She doesn’t like cooking
But she learned **** quick.
A glance at their marriage makes her stomach turn sick

He started smoking again

Food on the table
*** in bed
She’s saving her money
And getting ready to leave

But this time...
Tailing half as many kids behind

Brick-wall lobotomies
Self inflicted
Hard Head full of rocks
Cracked into sand mixed into mortar
And The school of hard knocks
Is just you breaking yourself

Rock tumbler thoughts
Chisel questions on diamonds
But any answer is too hard for anyone to write it

Sinking sand
And rock steady
But the stone is too heavy
And it keeps rolling back down
The hill to wear it started
If you're Sisyphus it's your Hades' Tartarus
But since you're Atlas it's the whole world to you

Stalactite tears
They've been falling for a while
Tear stream Grand Canyons eroded into your cliff-stone-face

A mask of jade
Said you were okay
But now all you can do is bring
The rock-wall to your face

But if you climbed it
You'd only see the other side of the mountain
But it's better than stoning yourself
Unless you'd rather dig yourself a hole and stay well-grounded

Be mindful of the Earth benders
Cause lead mined and pistol fired
Makes a mind worse for the better
Brain benders
With bullet senders
Brain blender
bullet benders

Stick to bricks

Hay-and-straw-made bricks
You can build yourself up
From dirt and twigs
But when they try to blow it away,
You are the brick wall
That they are leaning (concussed) against
Knocked out
Stone cold

Rock on
Roll steady
Dig deep and let the moss grow
When you start to feel heavy

I see you in the block of marble
David
**** your Goliath
With a sling and riverbed stone

But don't let Medusa freeze you up
Or there will be hell, fire, and brimstone to pay
And if you win
There is a statue waiting for you

There’s a pipe from one ear to the other
It hides behind a smile
It is made of lead

Poisoning thoughtful waters
Killing the wisdom and love I have heard

In one end out the other
Empty handed and barren

Only an echo.
“Unlovable”
That is all my deaf ears can hear
**** the constant ringing

The message is lost in knowledge
What a miracle
Proven o’er and o’er

A poet with disregard for his own self
Yet writing about his inner struggle

My verses flow from inkwells
That give what even I have not received

I’m naked in my birth from ashes
To the dust I shall return
Alone, but left with room enough to write a few more words

The sounds in between things
vibrations in the middle of vibrating particles
The way America doesn’t act like all of its genes are from other countries, and killed all the natives

An entire area of intellect is the study of religion and culture
We call it social studies

The scientist calls God impossible
The Christian doesn’t study culture They keep their feet planted despite being told to go elsewhere

Politicians bank on the science of opinion
When the votes don’t mean anything
The average citizen can’t tell me how the government works
Yet you still think it’s the greatest one on earth?

People want to act like we haven’t been taught every vulgarity we know
Had to see it somewhere

Generations waging war
Trees of knowledge rejecting their own leaves
When the buds know exactly what will happen when Autumn comes around
and want it all the same

In five seconds you’ll be looking through lenses five seconds behind the current time

The clock is the victor, fate reaps the profit
And it’s all the Great Clockmaker’s tiny project

We don’t survive anymore
We **** ourselves

If Britain had a baby
And it murdered the real Americans
And it ****** Africa
And the Africans eventually got really into it...

And then everybody took a toddler trip down the stairs
Welcome to the melting ***
Crucible for change and close mindedness
A blender for the world
******* everything to it’s outdated blade
Ripping all that’s independent to pieces and slurring it together with the milk of “do whatever you want”.
What a smoothie

Welcome to the epitome of human reason
Where we race each other to death
Acceptance means compliance
We need to conform
Let me accept your self proclaimed gender
When you can’t accept the one you born in

Thoughts of God
May not always be thoughts of God
What we think of him  
isn’t always what is from him
Because killing millions of people was only allowed in the flood, Jericho, Judges, and Gomorrah
