Living in a world
Suffering from Empathy Dystrophy
More concerned with their reality shows
And clean windows
While others live in trash
With people throwing away things
Others would **** to have

Down the Alabaster pathway
To the Ivory alley
Behind a Jade door
Lies a metaphorical passage
From unfinished books
Of the short lived
Explaining
*Only the good die young
Because you never got to know them

Political system
Bred off disagreement
And those instigating change
Only do so out of hatred
People just regurgitate
Networked Ignorance
Align yourself
With the Great Jumbo
Or the all Knowing ***  
What a circus act

You ever hear
How people never change
Well its really quite different
We live our lives toward
A greater entropy
Ever changing
And maybe that’s why
We have these cliché
Rules we live by
So we
Shouldn’t Judge a book by its cover
Even if
We have an axe to grind with it

My soul will sail away
And let the winds
From my troubling yesterdays
Fill its tattered sails
And carry it wayward
Bound for a better future

Although the waves will batter
And the thunder will crash
I know my vessel will reach harbor
Surviving to set sail yet again
When I find my soul restless
Longing for the next journey

We often seek answers
To questions
Which should have never been asked
Ever since Eve ate the apple
The world has been
Afflicted
With whats seen as knowledge
And the curse of Pandoras box
Unleashed upon the world
A ravishing hunger
To capture questions
That as ignorant humans
We should never control
What we call intellect
Is an overzealous need for power
And we mistake knowledge
For answers to the mundane
Life would be so much simpler
If curiosity wained
And we never
Began asking unnecessary questions
In the first place

Silence is the sound of wisdom
And as the wind died down
And nature slept
I listened
Silence spoke

Do not mistake the
verbose for intelligent
and do not be quick
to break the quietness.
For quiet often
what is missed
is that which lies
between the noises.

And I was quick
To apologize to Silence
Telling it
*You're all to often
Mistaken as awkward

She was soft spoken
But her voice filled the room
And the way she talked
Her tongue
Dancing across her lips
A hypnotic sway
In the way she walked
Eyes like a lullaby
Gently pulling you in
A smile a mile wide
And a personality to match
Electricity filled her veins
With thunderous thoughts
To say she embodied perfection
Would be an unfair assement

There is undoubtly
A darkness in us all
But
There is also light In all life
And like the day turns into night
And night to day
We all await our transition
And as we see our rising sun
We let the light wash over us
And thank the sun for rising again

When work needed done
We used to pound the pavement
But now we just punch keys
We're living in the digital age
Full of neon signs and L.E.Ds

Some say it's the future
Some say it's a disease
I say *it's okay in moderation
Just take a moment
Unplug
And Breath

Heart fluttering
At the sight of the setting sun
Blues reds oranges and greens
And I thought for a second
I must be dreaming
But when the sky melted
I grabbed your hand
and we just flew away
Knowing we'd dream again
Another day

Pretending used to be so innocent
You would play pretend doctor
And oh how brilliant
A flawless performance
And all those years not a patient lost
Ahh the pretend heroes we were

Now it's a little more sinister
We pretend we are busy or sick
And we think we are intelligent
Like no one will know
And year after year we fill with lies
Pretending to still be super heroes
When we really turned into bad guys

There in the evergreen forest
Footprints laden in snow
Walked the soul of angel
Silhouetted in the moon lights glow

Lost and far from heaven
The angel asked of me
Please oh wondering stranger
Tell me you know these wood

To well I replied
*I've been stuck here
Wondering the evergreen forest
Since I lost my wings too

I asked the birds
    What's it like to fly
They abruptly replied
    *What's it like to drive

So many people tell me
You should take
a page out of their book
And I just think
*Did you plagiarize
Your whole life

I get my kicks
in the early A.M.
Brains on overdrive
Can't sleep
Overdid it again
So I drift off
Into another twilight
Numbed with
Self-created blissful ignorance
And when the sun
Hits the horizon
I hit it back
With a smile on my face
And I laugh
As I tell the world
*Good morning

A social disease
A tragedy
Against the wondering minds
A complete unawareness
Of the limitless possibilities
To spoiled by instant gratification
Living with to many
Of a short hand nature
Literally caught in the moment

Not a wink
Of sleep
Mind wondering
To some new
far off place
a map
with routes
I cannot retrace

She said I love you
Staring down at her feet
As he drove off
Into a dusty cloud
Of past regret
*Idiot

Though the moon still rises
And the sun still sets
My limbs are still broken
The cuts are still fresh
They say time heals all wounds
But these ones just fester
Wrapped in bandage memories
Of the time we spent together

Kicked up clouds of confusion
Truth misconstrued
Lies are egregious
But truth has
more manipulative misuses

Venomous sentiment
and perilous arrogance
Living in a world
Filled with detriment elegance
Where Selfishness is just
Another prerequisite
Summed up in a word
*Unpleasantness

Your hands
Wave
                            Over
       Me
  Still
         The threshold
       To
            Guilt
                              Presents
                     The years
Overdo
In some less-than-conscious
                   Battle
And
             The         lines
Reassure
                    Great
Trouble
     To Combat
              Global
                                Impulse

Had a lot on my mind
Tried jotting it down
Now I'm facing a DWI
Told the officer
Sir I'm not drunk
I was just writing while I drive
So he gave me a WWD

A pen mightier then a sword

Ink more powerful than an edge

Yet what war was waged without a blade?

Then again what war was won without quill?

The pen brings the peace

The sword brings the war

Who is to say finishing something is harder than starting?

Maybe it is not one mightier than another

Yet it is that one is the other

Nations are changed by words and actions

One alone falls short

It was the dream again

Again

Yes again

I thought you were over it

So did I

Well what are you going to do

Go back to sleep

Please wake me if you can’t sleep

I will

Promise......

Promise.

Float on sound waves
To the ceiling of space
Trace edges of existence
With Fingertips
Galactic Subconscious
Our ideas like space ships
Exploring the infinite reaches

I am a patchwork creation
Of blatant sins
And past regrets
They are forgiven
But they never forget

I saw someone today         
and they said                                        
I hate you                                              
I asked why
They replied
You hate yourself
So why shouldn't I
I never looked in that mirror again

140 characters or less
What a world we live in
Obsessed with quick wit
and invisible friends

Stuck to screens
As we drone away
Punching keys
Wasting away in disbelief

Spin a story
Make it so
The audiences is left nauseated
Wondering
When will this end
Only to hop off
And want to be spun again

I've run out of room
In this endless notebook
Filled with thoughts and words
How absurd
I have filled an infinity
What a story that's be spun
It continues forever
But still has an end
That is: *things are never over
They only begin
