Wane wants
To wax

We strain to
Relax

We crave what
We lack

As pain learns
To laugh

Wait
Watch
A gain
In a loss

An outlet
For hatred
Rechannel
Displace it

Weakness wields a weapon


An anchor in discord

Gauge the gauge that measures self
Change what you hate to what will help
Goals hidden from impatient eyes
Their default frame restrains my mind

Help yourself through helping them

Prehistoric rhetoric
Preserved in hydrochloric

Finally exhumed
It was always presumed dormant

The question wants no  answer
And curiosity caused cancer
Ahh but fun IS taking chances,avoiding any rational advances
There's no reward without a risk
Impulsive entertainment on a disk
Carpal tunnel
Twitching wrists
Yeah,
Adolescents
Should have guessed

Grab a turkey leg
Stuff it in my face
Poultry understands
What grown men wanna taste

Tender juicy meat
Vigorous roast beef
Stab that violent ham
We are gonna feast

Suprise
Its still alive
Writhe
I don't mind

****** red and raw
Mash it with your jaw
Our rabid spastic feast
What hungry beasts we are

There's meat stuck in my throat
But I'm too tough to choke
It's echoing the bleat
Of that tasty little goat

No time to prepare
caught me unaware
So disaccord accordingly
In misconstrued harmony

The minority rule
In realities play
Funding any fool
Born with the right face

The majority lose
Quickly put in their place
With nothing else left to choose
Life's a competitive race.

Water torch
Scorched my sink
Water here's
Not safe to drink

The government
Still claims it's clean
My dogs are dead
Lead poisoning

The mates who've drowned in hellish drains
Are honored by their stoic names
So spark your smoke and free your flame
We fearless sailors know no shame

I'm proud to die beside a friend
We'll ride these vessels to unknown ends
A cloud of smoke,three fearless grins
Our kin will brave hells seas again

The tower clock is tickin' a relentless tone,
And there's still something missing from my memories tome.
A reluctant adventure to the porcelain throne,
Throwin' up on the lawn and stumbling through the town.

Well you made me think that I could be right ,
And I came to see what we could make of the night.
Now you've flushed me out of your system just fine,
But I can't do the same 'cause your name is my wine.

If I could tap into your train of thought,
I'd tie these frayed ends in a knot.
I'd wrap the doubt around a chord,
And accept what I cannot control.

The neutral between biased tides was seasoned to resolve divides.
Ideally where we'll stand our ground,
Progression takes the form of sound.

— The End —
