starch-pressed
into a straight edge
folded creased to a t
razor dredge
shave the head
& ink i.d. unto each
before they're bleached
in chemical showers &
laid down to sleep
in flower beds.

slay the secret
in the doctrine,
the seeds screaming
beneath the garden's
feet, the bleak faces
taking countless paces to
the mass grave market
they made earlier today.

yeah, but all
at what cost?

attention
there's tension.

earlier today man,
lives were lost.
earlier today
lines were ******* crossed,
so we've become inverted.
we were ***** & thirsty
pero hay no agua,
so we drank the hot
rotted water
then we
marched ourselves to
slaughter,
all like:

'we don't need
no re-education.'

just give me
a month & a few days
and I'll be
running this slave ship
like a major corporation.

till then
y'all can just be patient
keep sitting &
waiting
to see
the end
meet the means,
cuss justice,
cuz we can,
**** IT.
punch in
to the expansion tactic
mcmansion dream factory

& if you ask me,
fancy don't
match free.

that **** is ugly

& lacks, passion
character
integrity.

just let em be.

bland.







...I'm yall's biggest fan.
I'll never be cool like you. ):

The answer to blocking out pain from a broken heart is not numbness or indifference.

But that of letting yourself be loved again.

Observe
 Apr 2015 JAM
Esther Van Ek
Small ants scurry across the ground,
oblivious to the fact that they could be stepped on.
A teacher tells a student to pay attention in class,
to grasp the concepts being taught,
to observe...
Observations are personal views,
in certain perspectives;
how one can perceive any given situation.
There is no right or wrong,
in ways of how to observe things.
Teachers, professors say there is only two ways:
Quantitatively               and             Qualitatively
Everything observed seems to fall into one of these categories,
but can something break the boundaries?

Observations can form relationships,
but in the same instance- destroying them.
Qualities observed are picked;
only chosen to appeal,
but does that make them real?
Questions go along with observing:
how something came to be and why...?
But does anyone truly know the correct answers?

Observing-
in the end is only questioning the essence of things.

They always ask
Why i like the dark of night
Or the gloomy rainy weather
Or scary thunderstorms
Or the big menacing moon

I always answer
That it is in the darkest moments
That light and hope
Is most well seen and found
Or i just really like scary stuff hahaha

There’s a wonder I’m filled with
each time my hands get to steer
a path through a mountainous route
where my eyes can’t seem to take in
enough beauty in my surroundings,
so my head twirls from side to side
just praying I can capture a photo
in one of the neurons that swirls
through my brain,
but this velocity forces my safety.
I can’t tell you how lost I wish I could become there
in the hours that pass with split-second
glimpses of liberty
and awe at the beauty a God can create
in a world that’s become so cold to touch.
Even more,
I can’t tell you of the craving that arises,
a hunger to hide in the shadows of a hill,
and watch life happen from a distance,
so maybe,
for once in my short, little life,
I could forget how much
I long to feel your eyes
not only look at me,
but SEE me
again,
and
even on the days I don’t wish…
the days that you don’t even cross my mind…

maybe you’d stop making a home
out of its backbone.

Take your bullets, take your dope
and get out of town,
all you represent is crime,
living life large in pantomime
going through the motions
until you get stopped,
by a bullet or a cop,
matters not to me,
and just so you know
and hear it in clear,
bullets do not care
how tough you appear
you can bleed out through
a hole the size of your baby
finger,
a cautionary tale as recent
gun violence where I live
no innocents have been
hurt yet, but none
of you are marksmen
with a pistol!  One miss
is all it will take, wake UP
and smell, the tea, we
don't need you here,
a lot of you seem to need
the hospital facilities,
let see those take tax
dollars.... pay up.
21 shooting in six weeks
16 + injured no deaths, no civilians hurt or dead
