MJ....
JMG Oct 2010
You're finally runnin' out of luck.
You got dealt a ****** hand.
There's time tomorrow to give a ****.
Today will understand.

Unique and beautiful,
What a wonderful flower.
Strike it up. It's four o' clock,
And twenty past the hour.

Every plant is wonderful.
We love them more with age.
But if you pick the Devil's bud.
They'll lock you in a cage.

I'm down here!
JMG Oct 2010
Where are you?
It's dark and I'm scared
Come to me....
I'm over here
Down in the corner of this abyss
I miss the calm,
The quiet and sublime
It is dreadful here
Dark and chaotic
Something tells me I shouldn't be here,
But no one will show me the way out
I don't think anyone knows
Where is my light that I have been saving
It's put up in a jar on the shelf
Could you grab it for me?
Toss it down
I saved it just for a moment like this

What?

The light is gone
It escaped from the jar?
Who let it out?

I can't even see my hands in front of me,
but what I can here is hellish
Please come save me
I'm tucked away in the corner

Down here

I'm not sure how to tell you
How to get here
I'm not sure how I got here myself
It sure was a long fall
I can't tell if someone is coming to get me
Coming to **** me
Coming just to keep me company
Someone, please.
At least a pleasant voice
To go along with the blindness
The fear
The chaos

I'm alone down here
Off in the corner
It's dark
I can't get swept up in this chaos
Not yet
Not now

Someone
Please tell me how to get home
It's dark
I'm alone
I'm scared

Another Killer Demon
JMG Oct 2010
Before you even knew my name.
I put you on the ground in shame.
By the time I had you beat.
I was then a pawn in your deadly game.
I'm going for the throat this time.
I will put you down again.
I'm too strong.  You'll never win.
I'm too smart.  You'll never win.
You think he's slow?
Oh, he's on your tail.
You think you'll win?
You were born to fail.
Nothing else can scare me.
I'm rapped in razor wire.
Nothing else will shake me.
It is time to eat the fire.

COLLABO
JMG Nov 2010
Watch the sun rise one more time
It'll just go right back down again
The moon, again, floats on by
Changing tides and lighting
skies              

There's this hallowed path we take
This whisper in the vines
Don't stumble there my little friend
You haven't much more time
No sleep, no rest no stopping now
The future looks so bright
As we look ahead again
On toward the morning light

Less dark left, the light comes soon
Born again to light the room
Along it brings a brand new day
Again one more has ticked away

Three-thousand and, six-hundred ticks
I pray to God that this one sticks
Cause heaven knows I've felt the ******
This winter's gonna be a *****
And God forbid you start to itch

The weather here is getting cold
I feel it in my bones
And with the cold a chapter's ended
The storm before the calm
A baby takes his infant steps
A drunk man tells a lie
Eventually we'll all be dust
So there's no use to cry

Soak it up, you'll need the juice
To get your fears to disappear
**** some sorrow, cut it loose
Be ready for what's near
Hold it in and blow it out
Shelter from the cold
Every time you do this ****
You say it's getting old

So...... I will say it's over
We all know our role
From now until never
Leave nothing or no one out in the cold

Machina (V. 1)
JMG Oct 2010
Watch the eyes in the sky that look after all the people,
Turn their eyes upon yourself.
Watch the machines start thinking.
See the human mind shrinking,
As the machine presses on.

Watch the armies that are sworn to protect you,
Turn their eyes upon you.
Turn their guns upon you.
Watch the soldier's mind shrink.
The weapons, too, begin to think.

The war has begun.
But not a single man will fight.
Not a single man will fight.
By the time the machines are done,
Man or machine will be no more.

Weep
JMG Dec 2010
Weep to me, your heart away
Don't save it for another day
You just might not be here to stay
So just for you, I'm here to say
Give in
Just Give in
Give in to the hurt, I pray
Don't ever hold the tears at bay
You'll scar yourself for good that way
So let it out today, today, today
JG, December 2010
Inspired by Mumford and Sons - Little Lion Man
Give it a listen, puhleeze!
JMG Oct 2010
Take the trip or fail to see,
All the colors life can be.
You'll be sure that you are another,
But you'll be unsure if you is me.

Collapse into this world of color.
See what your senses really can do.
If you tell your mind to do it,
Your eyes will filter the reds and the blues.
If you can wrap your mind around it,
The introspection can show you the truth.
Your world will seem it no longer exists,
While it's neatly tucked inside of your fist.

So for those of you who think you can take her.
Eat this religious piece of paper.
You'll smell colors you never thought your skin could see
You'll be something you never thought you could be.
But what you'll remember forever and ever,
Is the wildly insane **** you will see.

To all those....
JMG Oct 2010
I want to keep this short and sweet.
I wanted to write a letter to all those...

All those who said they were my friends
Those I trusted
Those that turned their back
Those that ripped me off
Those that lied....

My letter would say this

From the Highest Tree
JMG Dec 2010
Falling from the treetops
Way up high
All I see is leaves and limbs and sky
Limbs are moving way too fast
for the life of me, I can't catch a grasp

Thud goes me
At the bottom of the tree
And up goes mud and dirt and leaves
A big ol' splash that none did see
Down it came on top of me

Wet and broken, laid in mud
Swamped with sweat and tears and blood
Hoping someone heard the thud
But no one close was in the wood
'Sep a big ol' bear.  Over me, it stood

Oh! What terror  
Oh! What grief
Can't see for fur and eyes and teeth
The big bear needs a tasty treat

To my surprise;  To my relief
The alarm clock screams its screeching beep
Now from my slumber, I can creep
Away from dark, nightmarish sleep

Found by Scrounging
JMG Oct 2010
[[I found this scrounging through an old notebook.  It's cool but some of it is confusing.  My friend and I wrote it together years ago.  I didn't change a word.  I wanted it to be genuine.]]
[[[I wrote the bold part.]]]


What you see is your reality.  Everything that you have ever dreamed; in a war where it's a fallacy.  Nothing here is always as it seems.  After torture comes the pain.  No one's here to hear your ******' screams

Run!
There's nowhere to hide.
Scars!
That's all you provide
Hate!
What I feel inside
Waste!
Your *** right here, somehow


Eat away at the pain, that's you beat yourself black and blue.  I'll just sit and watch you crash and burn.  I thought you'd never learn, you've never earned but surely spent.  You worked and made your dollar, but never paid the rent. ** Scream piercing screams into your deaf pillow tonight

Fear and loathing grips me.
As I trudge through this town.
Weary of those who'll try to break me.
They're fake.  Don't worry.
What you see is all they've got.
Don't get the fear.
Let it go.  You're bigger than that.
Scholar versus dragon chaser.
Who do you think will win?
Take him prisoner.
Cause it goes without saying that we can't turn him loose.
He'll report us to some ****-Outback law enforcement agency and they'll run us down like dogs.

Did I just say that?
Did they hear me?

Wrote some stuff...
JMG Nov 2010
I wrote some stuff today,
But It is on paper,
And I'm not typing all that.
So maybe tomorrow, I'll write another
And I'll have even more to put up here
Even if I write nothing tomorrow
You are guaranteed to get 2!
Thanks for your time.
More stuff soon!
So if you don't like this.
Not-so-much-poem.
Read my other stuff.
And leave me a comment.
:)
Peace!

Just a Drop
JMG Oct 2010
I went on a trip one day.
the colors bent my thoughts.
I saw the light ahead of me.
Ever colorful and raw.

I witnessed a pure form of life itself.
I saw the spirit that exists.
Everything I thought I knew,
Always held a little twist.

When you lay your eyes upon it.
Your mind's in disbelief.
It's just one drip of liquid.
It must be something weak.

The domino just fell.
Finally, you're on your way.
There's no stopping it now.
Just hold on tight.

You never though the world you're in,
Could possibly exist.
Until you see your other world.
Dripping from your fist.

The biscuit ate your doggy,
but that's just in your mind.
Difficult to see what's happ'nin
When your face just left your eyes.

Empty
JMG Oct 2010
Your heart seeks love
For it fills your life with passion
And love is what it finds
But you are still empty

Your mind seeks knowledge
And through the world you search
Now worldly knowledge lights your path
But still you are empty

Your body seeks strength
Because weakness is failure
Now you can lift up the world
But still you are empty

Your soul seeks salvation
But you are filled with worldly knowledge
Your mind ignores your soul
And still....you are empty

Something New!
JMG Jan 2011
Here is one verse.  I want to collaborate with some of my HP friends and maybe others will do the same, so add another verse in the comments section and I will put it all together however fits best!

I must admit
It's difficult to explain
What it is that drives me
What I keep in my brain
What keeps you from besting me
What's keeping me sane
Now it's your turn!

In Memory
JMG Oct 2010
Would I have felt better
If I had been closer
Would he be around
If I would have called
Is he really gone
Did he really pass
I keep to myself
These questions i ask
I hold back the tears
I want to just cry
He was so young
Why did he have to die
His life was ahead of him
Now his life is no more
When I heard, I was shaken
I felt a punch in my heart
When I saw, I was broken
Torn so far apart
Now I believe
Anything can be taken
Now that I have seen
A great life forsaken

In memory of

Suspended Forever
JMG Oct 2010
I'm in this cage
I'm just spinnin' around.
I fear I might hit the ground,
If I don't turn that page.
I'm in space again.
I'm in space again.
Floatin', there's no wind
Forever I'll suspend.
I'm back from my trip again.
I'm back from my trip again.
Can we find each other?
I can hide you under the covers, baby.
We'll be together forever,
Drivin' everybody crazy.

Why?
JMG Oct 2010
Once you die, you may know
Where you and all your friends will go
But while we're here, you need not be,
Asking why.  Just let it be.

Why do we die?
Why do we bleed?
Why do we love?
Why do we need?

Why do we hate?
Why do we fear?
What is the point?
Why are we here?

If you'd stop asking why, you might find out how.
Just keep your focus on what you need now.

If you live it on down, later you'll see
The reason for what we are looking to see.
But until then, relax.  Level your head.
It is not yet your time to be put to bed.
