Mold me like them or take me out.
I am beautiful.
Pure we are, therefore I shall be.

Death and misfortune unto the man with a dark will.


Love must be won time and time again.


Mold me like them or take me out.
Pull the trigger because love must be earned even after I've won it.
Put me down.
I'm an unsightly ******* with mange.

Justice for all shall be perpetual.
Everlasting as it stretches into infinity.
Clean your honor.
Clean your name.
Put me down when asked to.
The person who dares to declare his sovereignty, fulfill your duty!

Invincible?
Yes you are.
Consequence is like a dream,
it fades away.

The lessons.
Those are what I teach.

As if I truly look after you.

I am what your friends have warned you about.

I will send you walking on glass with bare feet.
I am the animal in you.

Issa rebellion.
Issa wreck.
Issa waste of life.

The pages in the calendar have been turned.
Already, I can feel the impatient earth beckoning for me to collapse and wilt.
My pen writes even faster now.

We spend our days with the grace ****** from us.
A limbo.

Cure the disease and depart with me.

Did you hear it on the news?
Cancer is *******.
They took it up to the supreme court and now my friend in the hospital bed ain't feeling blue.
His bail is a million.
Some rich Jewish dude wearing maroon is going to spare Cancer from the noose.
All the synagogues smell.
Like ember.
Everyone is saying that they're gonna go to hell.

Maybe it's in the air now.
Maybe there is too much going around.

Higher places make people wanna ascend already.
The taste on your tongue comes that quickly.

Gravity isn't lovely,
Most were taught that as kids.

Years later,
hopping on a ship named Titanic 2.
It wasn't for the free *****.


It's always the same.
People dying for the same mistakes.
Shorter life for better times,
the equation never changes.

Why don't they put their arm out like a soldier and them allow them to not pass?
Do they want them to realize?
Do they want them to be like the rest?

Like pond ****?

Belly up,
The brain is now molasses.
The slow synapsis can't see the scowling
faces.
Build the bridge and engrave his name on it.
He will not pay you a cent for it.

Trailing behind at the scent of your leather from the sneakers, and the mud underneath.

In confrontation, I regress
My lips open, and I digress.

You're not Sherlock, but you solved the case.

Grin and nod away.
Lodged in your finger I stay.

No better than a splinter.
