Lets Go to War

Stone age tactics back stage with the tactical
Neck gets cracked late stage its practical
Flak jackets in vogue situation critical
Situation critical situation cyclical

JOY
Bard Aug 2023
JOY
All these demons fiending for some redemption
But I'm thinking they just want some attention

That won't cut it so I cut it up on the dance floor
Cut it up cut it up snow white runs out the door

Been up a day, no we've been up for days
From suns first ray until stars escape the skies

Feels like its all overrated but its just all overdue who knew
Hearts aerated fillin gaps with the same old but act like its new

Someone asked me for the time so I gave them the time of their lives
Fancy umbrellas witha side of lime lets drink to our many vices

For us there is no boring ending to all this partying
Just a constant tightrope walking and death defying

Road Tripping
Bard Aug 2023
A thousand words escape the cells, like the sound of crunched gravel
Reverb heard in the hall the silence after a period after a gavel
Shadows still as body's follow suit and the situations unravel
Nothing is found for all of the searching your no Percival  

Crush crush, elation chasing behind as the engine knocks side to side
Pine scented freshener and a Marlboro smokers car out for a ride
Rent a place on the velour till tomorrow till then I smile wide
High speeds but no race just a tour of the passengers pride

We all wanna go missing just for today my driver going nowhere
So many words with no one listening living laissez faire
Blah blah blah ha ha ha don't feel the wind in your hair
Give me more empty words so I can pretend to care

Welcome Home
Bard Jul 2023
Brushed some people off now their ghosts
Called the plans evil now it'll get changed in post
Hate the fake civil talk about who gets to be shot
Weevils in society spread disease and rot
Devils in rags, devils in suits it matters not
Community's become ***** in a ***

Most never fought for anything except to take mine
Whatever, now I got money growing past the line
Got colder to people who waste my time
Left to the dirt till I was doing fine
Expected to be doing time

Graduated college before twenty four
Didn't think I'd live past twenty two
All these rich people have things so new
All my **** hand me downs growing into being poor
Now it's all gas to the floor gotta be one of the few
To have flew the coop make it past a broken door

No sense of community with the middle class
They let us die in poverty then demand a pass
Treat people like property it's so funny the middle class won't last
Shrinks every year cause of their fealty to hate and the past
Sink down here how long will they last
Among rabid dogs and white trash

Nothing ever mattered till it hit their homes
Now they lose that life with a single broken bone
How's it feel to choose food or defaulting a loan
We're all going down look at the oats we've sown
Moved up today but tomorrow down I'll be thrown
Downtown shoved into the ground the life we're shown

We all have to struggle on our own
Struggle through the aches and groans
So cast upon people all your stones
And enjoy living where the rocks were thrown
Claim it all trash heaps and poverty welcome home
Time to claim our plastic throne

Tick tock another second gained your life arranged
Clocks abound framed and bound forward marched
Now tense is present where sensation moans
Passion over sense actions set into stone
How many will reach us when thrown
And reach the seed that will be grown

Nothing eats away at me
Just wanna sleep away my life
Trying to be happy
Please, could you tuck me in tight
Just laugh with me
I'm okay I'll be alright
Stay with me
I don't want to fight
Or bleed
An ugly sight
Me
A rough night

Melting Pot
Bard Jul 2023
Grew up in the country of giants where a gun is a common appliance
And if you show the law defiance you'll come to understand violence

One shot and your poverty stains the alley
I want to be somebody who escaped that valley
Its hard to be nobody puking out in the alley
Probably just be another body on the gurney

Moved smart, worked hard, played my part
Five shots in the dark now the heart don't start
Lost the keys now the car stays parked
Still got the gas to get higher stayin sparked

Jesus he won't save us pastors and nuns are just people
Won't save us they told us we were ****** from the steeple
So **** them take my thirty pieces of silver and turn to evil
If that's what it takes to survive and be successful
If that's what it takes to stay alive then I'll be awful

But I tell these kids to keep their chins up and stay out the dirt
Acting like our sins haven't buried them at birth life's gonna hurt

Thats the truth a lot more pain waits than was in our way
So I soak in vermouth to stay sane in the states of the fray

Another Weekend Hangover
Bard May 2023
Its half past 2 AM and I'm way too ****** up to survive another minute
Same **** another week luck hasnt run out yet man this is the best
Half past faded and I don't wanna wake up get me higher for just one minute

One more spliff two more drinks first in last to stop till my mind snaps
Spin another track my blunt ain't ash yet forget it all while we ball
One less regret and two more mistakes its nights like these I can relax

And when I'm spillin my guts I'll fill back up with ***** and sprite
This is my peak this is my height and I'm loving it things are alright
Im doing okay thats why I binge drink every night

Ramblings
Bard Nov 2022
Lethal doses and a handful of fairy dust
Feed on the rust be mirthful or go bust
Life is roses all plastic and lust

Don't live anymore round here just make a living
Hold knives by blades and keep on smiling
It's all ours this hollow empty nothing

To crave and be craven and lose yourself to the raven
A slave to maybe lost in a fools haven
But a brave man is a dead man left in the midden

Televangelize
Bard Nov 2022
A time to be forgotten best left unspoken
Like fission or economics after the cokes in
Playbook bitten by suits when they clock in
A fluke when reservoirs lack poison

Some people deserve it all that's what I was taught
Some are better at birth and some people I am not
Have you seen the sun its in their pockets
Will your sons be born as the have nots

Death sentences at birth and that's not abortion
Sayeth the zipcodes your worth and your position
Don't be born worthless or your portions starvation
Dont be luckless because lessons show chance is salvation

Praise god of the latter day the lord of us
I said praise the status and praise the money
In the land of plenty our lives are before us
Can you lend me god I could use a twenty

Nothing but chattel
Bard Oct 2022
I'm a demon yeah I'm an angel with a gun
Not dreaming the enemy already won
Fighting back is just screaming at the sun
Fighting back while they scream at the son
Losing track as sky's turn black we're undone

Losing my head at the chopping block
Tick tock as my head rolls across the clock

I want drip I want drugs I want to burn away in the night
My mind slips ash in my lungs don't know who to fight
Wind down wind me up nothing ever goes right
Crucify the righteous and expect survivors to live righteous
Our leaders the kings of capital know were cattle

Empty Reservoirs
Bard Aug 2022
I need water thats the nail in the coffin
Missing some screws on those coffers
No future for a buck thats the offer
Indenture your life forever after

Droughts and heat in the room so take a seat
Its about to beat down our tomb and dig up the meat
Watch brothers cannibalize each other we all gotta eat
We all gotta live but the livings run out so take your seat

The perpetrators stacked the bread up real high
But the wheats all gone and I hope that currencys a lie
Traitors among the starved left their children to die
The elephants got itself a long rope and hung us real high

Mouth dry skin cracked the bones will break through skin
To dry to cry wracked with pain all alone we break in sin
Was the high worth the dead planet was it worth the end
The end is nigh is what they said
Said the Mayan
Said the Roman
Said the Babylonian
Said the Akkadian
Said the Persian
Said the Sumerian
Said the American
Bard Aug 2022
I bleed as I write can't you see
My heart its been torn from me
I won't cry just give me a sign
That everything will be fine

Wake up covered in ash every day
Smoke drifts in theres nothing left to say
But hey I got older again never be the same again
Colder how do I feel again?

I'd do anything to put out the fire
But all it does is grow even higher
My hardships have only made me falter
The world as I know it is no longer

No hope nothing will change
Even if I gave my life for it
Even though I burn for it
I'd give everything but it's all the same

And if its all the same then I'll drink till I puke
Party all day and **** my lungs with smoke

Down down
Down down down
I've been feeling down

Whats up
My friends doped up
Everyone's ****** up


My friend she pops pills
Makes her mind go still
He's an alcoholic
Couple drinks an stoic
Crush it up and burn it up
Thats my fam doped an ****** up
I'm on a hallucinogen
I'm lit the only time I grin
Sin until we feel fine again

Bard Jul 2022
My brain was ripped from my head
And all of my legends are ******* dead
Every day is just hollowed out dread
While me and my friends bleed
Parents sowed some bad seed
But ******* I got mines the creed

So I take my abandonment issues and shove it
Said I was free at least but I die if I miss a shift
And if I **** a **** then in half these states thats it
If I don't fit in then on the streets I'll get left
So maybe they say I'm not a slave but if the glove fits
I feel sick and I'm one day from making these tiles slick

One bad day from losing everything I got
It's not hard work its not skill its ******* slots
So run it fast and hope your lucks running hot
Bard Jul 2022
I can only cry in my dreams
I think I busted at the seams
No more appetite
I've become light
And in the night I hear the screams
Its dark its bright its blood on screen
Gonna need sunscreen for atomic rays
Gotta be cruel yeah gotta be mean cuz it pays
Least thats what the boss says but he's full of it
Yeah hes rich and I'm worthless but he's full of ****

My skin is uncomfortable why are you feeling so emotional
In third person he's reasonable snap back and I'm emotional
I need rest but he wants to **** the constable
He feels less but I want to fill it with cables
Turn the diode on and it feels so sensational
A ***** glass or two left on the table
Just pretend the drugs are inspirational

Bad thoughts so many that I get lost

Used Up
Bard Jul 2022
Smoking wax till the day wanes
Lights off, blinded to stay sane
The bodys out of frame

A desire to die in this fire
The pyre burns ever higher
I'm burning in this desire

Saliva in the wound fashion the blood
Salivate when blood hits the wood
Stake the woods with something crude

I admire the passion of the cult
****** psychos spewing guilt
Pseudo intellectuals feel the melt
Ice to water blood to salt
People scalped then fear the pelt

In the clouds hear the sound of a menace crowned
Proud people spread hate aloud and incite the crowds
Good people cowed no words and a blunted sword

Every day the righteous die and fade away
Well I heard the best way to live is to die anyway
Have patience then the prize will be some pay
Didn't realize that meant we'd be the ones that pay
Jul 2022 · 108
Capital Gains
Bard Jul 2022
I just want to **** my rage
Put two bullets in this age
But I can't find the keys to my cage
Got these needs chaining me with a wage
Emptiness in my eyes the void is a phage

It propagates from nothing
Springs from empty living
This police state is sickening
Its body is rotten and decaying
Can we euthanize the nation of slaving

I worry that progress is over
I worry that its now or never
And I worry that we will pick never
All while I clock in and work the levers

Living is so ******* incredible
It makes me ******* miserable
Always knowing I'm not on the level
I know its lame to be so cynical
But how am I supposed to be hopeful

Everything is buzzwords and clickbait pandering
I hope its not too foreword but we're all dying
And if words are stronger than swords then bloods flying
We know the times are trying and say bullets are coming
Viruses, diseases, and pathogens  all the same thing

Death cults on their side they fight so we all die
Ancient evils six decades old still grasping fading lives
They rule our feeble lands pervert our will as a nation fades
Some souls tremble and say this will be the end of days
Some souls shake and say they will ******* pay

Maybe I'm cynical by I say its just another day and they're gonna get paid
The critics will wax they will fade lives for cash thats always the trade
Tell me whats your wage you in the fields or the house do you have it made?
Just tell yourself atleast its not a third world like the ones we made
We get to feast while the poor are in famine now thats a trade

Flipped Flag
Bard Jul 2022
If your feeling optimistic then go get checked at your optometrist
I've been called a cynic but I really feel dead and pessimistic  
Always been a critic to curb the sickness I smoke it chronic
Words like knives and the cuts are turning septic
Anxious hives over what was progress is caustic
Patience leaves us desiccated and filled with plastic
The elders worship ******* and fascist isn't it tragic
Currency fetters us wagies compliance tacit to magats
Urgency after the page is riddled fully automatic
Solvency under law since the Ritten word became tactic
Theorys get bitten from a foxes tale ripped from static
Its a habit of cult classics like Catholics oppressing hicks
We sit in this death cult around psychotics or rock the ship
Have to prove good and antibiotics can still cure this ****
Or face terminal loss and watch our kids eat the bullet
Bard May 2022
Being alone its just like home
On my own thats just how it goes
To live my life most lack the stones
Bleeding out I'm losing it slow

Everyone's alone guess that's home
On your own that's how it goes
To live your life most lack the stones
Bleeding out your losing it slow

Hate so much hate it keeps me up late every night
It's not good for me but without it I'm a blank slate
Oh **** oh wait I think I've lost my childhood
And this adulthood taste like arsenic and blood
But I say I'm alright I'm great yeah I'm good

Anti-depressants for my rich friends
Narcotics in my poor friends
We all work robotic and live psychotic lives
My eyes always lie and all I hear is static
Addicts frantic to feel less feel less symptomatic

Slaves in the dirt slaves in the front
Modern capitalism is just a front
I will never escape this golden font
Drown in the money or in the debt
Don't think there's anyone happy left
Apr 2022 · 101
Never Never
Bard Apr 2022
Grew up without a hand to hold
Only company was my soul
No one ever mistook me for cool

Dreams of friends and a world I want
watching dead ends rotting with the bunch
Seeds and stems left by my captain crunch

Daddy was an addict but he never panicked
taught me that magic was found in the cracks
That form from tragic lives never looking back

Never knew trust or understood the judge
Nothing was ever just as I stood in the sludge
And rent a center furniture stole my lunch

A B honor roll so honored by my academics
To poor for it to matter maybe I'm a cynic
But I know my masters I'm just realistic

Grew up to be someone I don't know
Where did that little kid go
And why is everything so so
Bard Mar 2022
Im running away every day
More and more words to say
I guess things will never be okay

Water soon to be a hot commodity
Ten years at most till we trade bodys
For a drink and everyones an enemy

The elders scarred my back and ripped out my heart
Abusers who feathered and tarred every upstart
They partied while the childs life fell apart

I hate them all no love left, ***** soon to be in our court
But the ***** ****** flat and the coach said we fell short
We could've built a future but instead they made it sport

Well they won and their children lost
Never did care about us and that hurts the most
Or maybe what hurts is that I won't mourn the ghost
And if you think kids these days are just lazy I'll be ******* on your grave in the ruins that are left to us

Are we here or are we in hell
So unclear I can never tell
I just wait to hear the dinner bell

My fill of meat and of greens
Blood soaked steak and bloodier means
Food produced without break rough and lean

Nothing tender about ******* marrow
Something in a blender weeping tomorrows
Meal pink pasty guts in a feeding barrow
Bard Mar 2022
History made on the daily
Pandemics intravenously
Panic and terror in the citys
Red scare its war with commies
And what was that about the economy  
**** just hit me with the comet Haley

Six Six Six Seven Seven Seven Eight
Hit a spliff stayin even within infinite
Crucifix in politics they intermix
Bull session in recession in depression
Liberate Liquidate Lacerate

I am a product of the product lines
Born to be sold **** like Calvin Klein
Sworn to hold property above human life
So what's a felony what really is a crime

Sanction this **** blitzkriegs end quick
Fash is fashion peasants under siege it's sick
Cash stashin in the pockets of lieges and ******

No message no morals I'm just ******
I'm a vestige like our tomorrows we're ******

Haven't felt poetic in years wrote it all to shed tears

Well well its that time again
Afterwork losing my mind
Afterword nothing to find
Outside the pane is the rain


Watching as I fall behind the curve not doing enough
Shoot dice and put in no effort cause I'm lazy as ****
And its snake eyes again **** just my luck
Now its over and that's rough well tough

Unbelievable its getting worse
Guess that's life running its course
Entropy takes us all back to the source

Evermore and ever less
Nonsense is what I confess

Until there's nothing left

Financial Success

I don't love you because I don't know how
Sorry I met you but I didn't have anywhere to go
I know you have to go I know it was just a dream

And hey if that's how it is then it's just business
Take the time and move the finish line its endless
I paid into a hit list oh god what did I witness
Here's to my continued financial success. Here's to my future financial excess. Here's to my eventual death.
