who's to say what's right
who's to say what's wrong
who's to say we've not been lied to
you and me, all along

who's to say what is the truth
who's to say what is a lie
who to say who gets to live
and who's to say who gets to die

we assume that someone else
is the answer to all above
but we choose who we vote for
who we hate and who we love

so its time we all took charge
put an end to this abuse
of human rights and freedoms
that we've let others lose

because one day you know
there will surely come a time
when instead of taking others
they'll come for yours and mine
You have my word...
But in a world contorted
By lies leaked from
serpents mouths...
What does that really entail?
''Beware of your leaders,
Bearing their false gifts.''
But what have they given us?
Freedom?
Hope?
Truth?
We wish for these but the day
Where we receive them, is not today.
All we can truly hope for,
Is that our kin,
of this beautiful world,
Find a way to contain the disease,
For we are already infected...
The slide of silver Freedom,
Curving around the flesh
Of my sweaty neck...
I can almost feel it,
Cutting...
Layer after layer.
Hug of the irritable rope,
Quick stop, with a sudden drop.
The fear of what tomorrow brings,
Breaks even the strongest of men,
Even the funniest of men,
And yes, even the most popular of men.
They hope they find freedom in their choice.
I don't actually know the sting,
But I know the pain.
The pain of having joy stripped from you.
I've seen myself die before
God and Lucifer,
Friends and enemies.
Taking bets,
I've won
...
This poem was written like most of my stuff so far, when I was in a very bad place. It originally ended with I've won... For now. I believe I'm  finally starting to get over my depression that I've had for years now, so as an optimistic change, I took out For now.

I have won.
As I sit here,
on the top of the world,
I see the approaching flame
Burning all.
Bringing us all to damnation.
Yet all we can do is sit and wait,
watch burning Death approach us.
There is no hope,
hope escaped years ago.
Yet I feel happy,
not happy for Death,
but happy for the world.
Cleansed in fire, blood and Death,
It's finally free...
Death.
Why are we so scared of it?
Why do we mourn at funerals?
Why do we weep the Death?
Why don't we celebrate the life?
And the precious moments they lived?
Is there not enough pain and sorrow in the world already?
Every day is a gift to YOU.
Wake up everyday and thank whatever God you believe in,
that your alive.
And don't be scared to do new things.
'See the world different every single day,
from the fear of conformity and lazy-ness'
Accept the un-acceptable,
believe the un-believable,
And do, the impossible...
Walking, step after step.
I see the black bird fly,
It is free, free to go where ever, when ever.
Not bound by borders, race or creed.
But then again, why are we not?
Why do we let them bind us?
Why cant we be free like the black bird?
They have overlooked me,
for I am not bound by them.
I have the entire world to discover,
I am free...
We're here to take this world back,
from you who have oppressed us,
You fear us as the next generation?
Well you are right to do so,
we're a force that can shake the whole world,
And we have no need for you.
I dream about her and see
a metamorphosis beneath
the ****** woad

I dream about her after falling
into a bed that has held the shape
of my irregular body

I dreamed about her

She is the only morning star and too
the black caterpillar in dye
below the leaves

Does her repose animate me?

I think and think I do
the thought extending to my limbs
somatic skin and the receptors in
my eyes appraising the world

In every moment of sleep and dream
where I could be awoken
from the impairment of unconsciousness
there were moments of sleep
where I did not dream and
the butterfly was not me
poetry is a lost language
dead like magnetic philosophers
at the end of ballpoint pens
and the puzzle has no outline
and the puzzle has no image
but it is coiled like a snake
in a Tesla machine
