Abiotic
Josh Hall Dec 2013
ADP and ATP,
DNA calamity.
RNA provides ridicule and cruelty.
Death note delivery.

Blood laughs and screams as it pours from slit veins.
It doesn't care about the souls its owner has stained!
What have you feigned?
What selflessness remains?
None to be sure as parasitic reality you frame.

What are we then?
Surely not worth baiting.
An existential lion's den.
But does it matter if we're waiting?
The most important question is "When?"

We exist to cause our problems,
to eliminate the heretic race.
It's a race that know one wins when,
They always have their problems to chase.

So enlighten us with,
Your sacred soul's bliss,
Or grow up from this tantrum of toil and ****.

Science of religion,
An oxymoron to say the least.
It is one thing to take the message.
Another to let your mind waste.

Savor what you have to the nucleus of your soul.
Know what makes you righteous.
Know it well and full.
Know what you live life for.
We're abiotic to assume that we "know" things we won't search for.

Rave
Josh Hall Dec 2013
Quake before your ruler if only for an hour!
He rules your mind with the echoes of this audible power!

Praise him like you would the faith of your mind,
But the faith of your body and soul shall be aligned!

Praise the bass-line as the endocrines race.
The drugs in her pocket with ***** you'll chase.

"**** our futures!
We're young!
We'll rave til the sun!
Our happiness this moment won't relay the deeds done!"

They won't rant while they rage,
Like humans trapped in their cage.

The animals are free 'til they sleep in their grave!
Abandon your god and pray to the rave!

Momentum
Josh Hall Dec 2013
Snowball effect,
In any dialect,
Is the same for healthy and lame.

Building,
Declining,
Constant rounding,
Defining,
Leaving a trail behind.

When it does land,
No matter the man,
He's left in its wake,
Deprived.

As pendulum's moment,
Swings ever-fervent,
Knocking down pegs as it goes,
The pegs do fall,
To crush them all,
As the fool relays blow-by-blow.

It's obvious where the pendulum goes,
But no fool will look below his nose,
The pendulum decides his time to go.

Pocket Pills
Josh Hall Mar 2014
Listen to me!
I cough out my tales of woe!
I'm so hurt!
I'm so terribly low!
******* up,
With your pipe and your cup,
Give me the stuff,
So I can forgive you and away I'll go,
I act like I can't hear you,
It's the only pass-time I enjoy!
Toss and turn as if you don't know,
Don't play coy,
With me,
I'll smack you into next week,
By then you'll have resolved yourself!
Amphetamines!
THC Dreams!
Smash this bottle!
Drown in whiskey!
Killer combinations eat me time after time.
I made it all up in my head,
So I could afford some counterfeit meds!
Pocket pills,
My own free will,
For my ******-somatic need to ****!
The painless solution,
Found at the bottom of an alcoholic potion!
We are addicted to a lie!
Begging for another chance to say "Goodbye!"
And I know now there's no wrong or right,
Tie your lips to a stem and watch it ignite!
And we'll scream,
Amphetamines!
THC Dreams!
Smash this bottle!
Drown in whiskey!
It's like we live for nothing,
Pretend to **** yourself,
So you'll feel like something,
Break some hearts just to know you can,
Those pills in your pocket will make you fly before you land!
If you haven't noticed.
There's nothing wrong with you.

I Smell Blood
Josh Hall Dec 2013
The slow trickle behind my bedroom wall,
alerts me to a subtle call.

"Help...help... save me from this cell."
But I cannot risk my sanity o'er my mind's concocted hell.
"Please... please... I miss life all too well."
Says I, "Do not stir me demon, my soul is not to sell."

I wrap the sheets around my ears and focus hard to sleep,
But a rest was not deserved for the demon craved to leap.

"I smell blood! I smell blood!
Like the sweetest rose-bud!"

Says I, "I smell nothing fiend!
You are only dreamed!
No reality in this is seen."

A chortle laugh is known just then while my walls begin to creak.
A drop of blood falls on my chest and grants a chilling shriek.

"Is it too late for reality to change its mind and let me die?"
The crimson stain upon my ceiling has deemed my end is nigh.

"Do you hear me? Do you hear me? Are you yet so vain?"  
Says I, "I am not! I am not! Do cause me no more pain!"

A sharp crack of thunderous tempered toil rips a chasm through my soul.
The trickle, trickle, trickle, to sleep will never lull.

"Do you hear it? Do you see it? Do you envy all the dead?"
"I smell blood! I smell blood! But out gushes YOUR blood instead!"

And then a scream of biting hatred breaks the silence through.
The stain pours blood upon my room while tempest's force ensues.

The dead retreat,
Unto their sleep,

Now my only friend is you.

Drone
Josh Hall Dec 2013
Locked onto innocent target.
Relinquish the rockets.
The little boy's bracket,
Records all the bodies lying down in their turrets.

No trauma received,
Mental droning perceived,
As common as breathing,
For death blows on the breeze.

How shallow are breaths,
When humanity tempts,
The weak of heart dying from carrion and stench.

The holy ones warm life's bench,
Their pawns play the field,
We're playing a game with sticks clenched,
where failure sees fates sealed.

The drone like a referee strikes out the ones revealed.

Steer Me
Josh Hall Mar 2014
Gambled all my luck,
Said "I don't give a ****",
Now I have to hitch a ride,
A couple bucks,
Now I'm stuck out here.
Now I'm trapped in my fears,
Haven't seen a single stack,
Since all my friends have turned their backs,
It's a kick in the ***,
Smoke the grass,
Step on the gas,
What I need isn't here,
Oh well,
Shut the **** up and steer!
Eat my dust you ******* *****,
You scream all the words that you don't hear,
And I'm not asking much,
Just steer.
You fell asleep I took the wheel,
Someone screamed "****** what's your deal?"
You're not real.
If they kick the **** out of me,
Hopefully,
They'll kick out all the memories.
It's a kick in the ***,
So I'll smoke some more grass,
But the memories stay right here.

Confidant
Josh Hall Feb 2014
As the news soaks in I feel it.
My stomach folds and caves in.

The searing secret I held,
Was meant to know freedom.

I wanted you to know.
I wanted you for me.

But I died before that arrow left your bow,
Thrown to the depths,
It was too far below to pray.

Call me a ******* *****!
Call me a ******* gay!
The ignorant mass!
To waste and decay!

When you die with your secrets,
You know what they'll say?

"Useless!"
"Worthless!"
"A lackluster loss!"
"A step to climb!
With unopened eyes!"

I have no more secrets.
But now what do I do?
It makes my food want to leave me,
The urge to let this bleed unto you!

I loved you to lift you,
But you shot me just to bail.

I was to save your bent spirit,
Now I have no one to fail.

These secrets won't leave,
Theyre ******* in the back.

Tortured with hatred,
Until they break free to attack.

This was you!
This was me!

And this is you,
My only real confidant,
Sacrificing me.
There is a difference between humans and people. I know this to be true, but which is which? Are we a race? Or are we individuals? How could we be both? And how could the majority of them be so ignorant and blind? Love is love, life is life, and hate is definitely still hate.

Bite Me
Josh Hall Apr 2014
I still taste you,
You're traced on my teeth,
These shallow shadows peek in between.
Walk my fine lines,
Fall to a side,
Where I catch you with my lips,
Hands inside your hips.
You gasp when you realize,
Our hearts are cold as ice.
When I warm you up,
Maybe we won't mind.
We're young and confused,
If you win I lose it,
Let's just do it all again!
Look out for the sins we commit,
Your God abandoned me,
And if the shoe fits,
I might just need you,
You know ****-well why!
When we get tongue tied,
We waste their lives!
I won't live my life in their lies.
It's a dark reality,
Kiss you endlessly,
You're alone with me,
Abandoned by reason,
So why are our shirts on?
Extinguish our boredom!
Bite me if you like me!
I won't drop you,
Like my ****** knives,
Get down to your knees girl,
Celebrate a ***** world.
Tell me if you'll smite me,
Sink your fangs in,
Take me for a spin.
When you win,
I'll let you in.

Wasted
Josh Hall Jan 2014
Look at the strange child,
He hides in his hood.

Sunken like Kronos,
In a prison of blood.

Look now to the girl,
With the waiting rubber-band,

Aimed at the boy,
Who won't make a stand.

A snap is heard by a few in the room.
They know not what they witness,

They will to laugh to their doom.
As they sift through suspended stillness.

Then for the boy everything stops,
The projectile poised in front of his face.

He strengthens his mind while his mask then drops,
His fears are no more for his demons he'll chase.

Time is no more while he walks to the girl,
Staring at the place he once resided,

In his pale eyes hatred writhes and swirls,
Now for sure he is decided,

The flask in his pocket contains the essence of virtue,
The reality from a god of cruel taste,

Down her throat he pours it for he knew,
The purity of the righteous will watch the guilty waste.

Leaving the place he used to call hell,
Time returns to disgrace.

The girl then ignited and fell,
The boy goes to find new evils to face.

What a waste of a world,
What a waste.

Self-Representations
Josh Hall Mar 2014
Salvaging through all the minds of the forsaken,
The blunt-force-object I carry is shaking them up again.
If this is the end,
I'm going to break,
Not bend.
The decent ones all think I have wasted,
To trash in their little laced-up lives.
They're giving me hives,
And it makes me want to die!
If you speak one more time,
And tell me to get it right,
You'll be left out for the flies!
You're cutting all your corners,
And you'll feel the weight of the world,
I eat the curses that you hurl,
Like a bleach and razor meal.
At least the ******* rats on my floor,
Know when they are done for.
You're not even a rat!
You are your own designed filth.
How about you use your whining mouth to *******,
I won't rest until you are killed.
Maybe you won't be complaining if you're buried alive in cement.
But this wall keeps me out of Heaven,
Maybe the wall is heaven-sent.
It's not good versus evil,
More like hemophilia and war!
I'll laugh when you're jokes aren't true.
Otherwise be silent too.

Let the horror-show unfurl!

Maybe just a shrink,

Drain his blood,
And make him think!
Pubescence is a crime against humanity,
Teens are dead or on the brink,
I won't stop complaining!
Teenagers are crazy,
Drunk,
And blazing,
Tell me again to **** myself,
And you'll watch your blood spill out!
Cry until you die,
Abandoned tear-ducts,
Buy my time.
We've sold our souls to 4 years,
Of razor blades,
And *** online.
Cry!

Alligator tears abide.
Maybe I'll climb,
Just to jump.
Cross my heart,
Hope to fly!

Dependence Suspension
Josh Hall Dec 2013
The bold little pearls that cluster round our pens,
Have killed the ones who should have lived and would rather meet their ends.

Tragedy is strategy for those who do not care.
Drown out the stares with alcohol your pockmarked pain you wear.

Dependent on the potion that makes a joker coo.
Suspend o'er the smoke that floats pain and ecstasy through.

Killing thoughts, but saving pain is bound to break you ill.
Hooked round the solid solace of the prisms shown surreal.

Burn the burrowed bulls-horns from your gut.
Drink from the blood of sinner's past while you wallow sway and strut.

Lest you find a deadly blow from pipe and needle's cut.

Focus

My dreams,
They slip me into sentimental abhorrence,
Distractions are piercing my silence,
The insects are buzzing,
They drive me away,
I notice the new shade of gray,
It consumes my life,
It consumes my whole life!
So I ***** and strife!
Watch my world break its back,
Refracted distractions shine through the cracks,
My focus blurs to black,
Focus!
For ****'s sake let me focus,
My mind slips to hell,
It will **** us all,
So leave me alone,
Grow up,
Be thrown,
Expect me to die,
Waiting for things to get done,
I don't like to lie,
Let me know when we've won!
Please save some focus,
It's all I want to do,
Leave me to focus,
And I'll try not to leave and say "*******."
I've decided I'm going to put songs in the notes of my poems, because I can.

Polarity Paranoia
Josh Hall Dec 2013
True light from the world should be rewarded in marks,
Our marks tally our deals made with the sharks.
They **** a young girl to bring her marks to a pass,
She is passed by a boy whose love will not last.
What she cares about isn't what the voice requires,
An ensemble of hatred rains on her fires.
I won't break a daft child whose naivety is clear,
For his mind is like clay to be smashed to a mold.
The free do not know what to do with liberation,
The brilliant girl is too bright to fear the free world's damnation.
But the stupid boy prays to a hellish salvation.
The claims he makes to fix all his sins,
Let the lord take care of that while he scores his sick wins.
No allegiance she owns,
To the pulpit which drones,
That the boy can **** innocents,  
Yet be as pure as the newborn child is so known.

Bullets will burrow in the souls of the guilty,
Let the broken rise up and eliminate the filthy!
They crawl on the floor playing weak forever more when they're really the strongest,
But they blind us with remorse!
To believe there is reason is to drown in your own lie,
For your sorry soul you can expect to die!

A soul near clean outweighs one appearing pristine.
Hogs wearing masks of their victims try to be queen.

They are swine to all no veil can hide them.
Squandering their own subjects and consuming all in sight,
Rotund with treachery and lies but useless when it comes to a fight.

Fire from the trench,
Up to the throne,
Pierce the hog's fat and break all his bones.
Give his meat to the starving lest they ask for more,
How humane are they.

How unruly the poor.

Suicidal Love!
Josh Hall Mar 2014
Dear lover I am writing,
To you instead of biting,
A bullet to let you **** me,
It's hopeless to try and sit,
Through all of the blatant fuckery,
But then maybe,
Just maybe it's good they locked you in the penitentiary!
Joker cards aren't worthless if you use them to cut yourself!
Who am I to say happiness brings you wealth!
As all my time is ticking,
Those ugly wounds you're licking,
And the gun I bought is sticking to my palm.
Because they let me **** the mad masked man,
He tried to steal your prized guillotine!
The constitutional irony on the the back of my hand.
Let me know if you can!
All those ugly wounds you're licking?
Away your time is ticking
You are my only gun,
Suicidal love!
**** all the above,
I'm so happy for your enemies!
The world's most painful drug,
Injects into the tongue,
Of he who spoke too much!
Oh my demonic angel!
My suicidal love!
It's nothing personal,
I believe in my arsenal,
All the ******* you've ever been told,
It's fun to watch them all break and fold,
They're already burning in the acid-cold,
Caked in mud,
Growing mold!
**** yourself they said to us!
And I won't kick the bucket,
Because away my time is ticking,
Because of all those ugly wounds you're licking,
And the gun I bought that's sticking,
To my palm!
Three ******* cheers,
For those who had the gull,
To wear the handcuffs and get taped to the wall!
You're that one,
My suicidal love!

To say they've been fouled by blood,
It has been said that the rain will reverse to take it away.

I have been there.

I have learned not to care.

When the ice breaks
And the darkness falls in,
It has been said that the ice will seal it in the unholy depths.

Trapped under the ice,
I have been there.

I have seen the black's glare.
I have learned not to care.

But I brought a cover from the storm,
A pick for the ice.

Because I am not there.
But I have been there.
And the black calls me back,
It glares,
It's stare spites.

So I must find a flame.
To meet the black's sight.

I have been here,

Don't cower at the sight of the sacred syndicate son.
His business is you and he won't let you run.

The creeping yellow journal screams when it talks.

"YOU'RE WRONG!

FIND SALVATION FROM YOURSELF,
WHEN I TAKE CHAINS TO BIND YOU TIGHT!"

I realize what death from cages stole my life away at once.
To shut the gate on cynical hate I reload and **** my gun.

Caesar calls.
In line his empire falls.

Satan crawls.
His words in drawls.

Why will you not cry!
You foolish child-king.
Can't you see they lie?
But the enlightened bell of hope did ring.

They called him the messiah,
The only explanation for his love.
Spreading peace or land of Gaea,
But under false witness of the above.

Told throughout his life that he would make hatred cease.
He knew to follow moral ways and save damnation's piece.

He knew not what he'd do,
But he would devote his life unto,
Herding these wretched to the path they were due.
If only he truly knew.

PART II.

What this man had done,
Born under the Roman's sun,
Is relinquish emotion too strong.
To become one,
Work must be done,
For the human race is wrong.

Although he lied,
Although his wrath grew,
This man was truly good.
His teaching here are sacred, true,
But wars fought for him never stood.

The prince of peace to light the way,
Caused human freedom's final decay.

Now trapped forever,
A misused endeavor.

His birth is all but in vain.
We must pass peace to end his pain.

Where Broken Ones Go
Josh Hall Dec 2013
Says the monarch to his advisers,
"Find me a place of infinite joy and rest."
The ambassador and general for weeks ponder such test.

They knew that their lives would be ended upon failure,
And such a place as described was of very much allure.

They abandoned their families and searched throughout hell.
No death toll called for them,
But their wives and children were unwell.

The monarch grew fat,
Replacing his cabinet.
"Where the broken ones go,
Is the place where peasants set."

Battered and weary,
Their families starved dead,
The two men returned,
The paradise was found in the end.

Where the broken ones go is where they found endless rest.
The paradise lost to humans who burned the sacred guest.

When they arrived to the palace a messenger informed,
"You foolish ******* have killed your families and been replaced!"
He scorned.

"Call us not fools,"
In unison they said,
"We have found paradise where the broken ones go,
And to traverse there we have the tools of your God's dead."

The messenger looked down with terrible fright.
Shot dead on the spot he would find endless night.

They bowed to the monarch and were invited to approach.
"What have you putrid peasants brought me?" He snarled with reproach.

"We have brought you the paradise that you seek without care."
"Insolent fools! I will have you murdered should you not share!
I demand to know this place of such wonder for my lair."

Then the two men spoke a prayer,
Twin vocals so pure,

"Where the broken ones go,
Where death finds no show,
But will have such appeal,
For death is the paradise to which all will kneel."

The monarch laughed heavily and fell to his knees,
He was no more an immortal than the men and the breeze.

His last smile on his face,
the men fired,
The monarch swam in his own blood,

The monarch found paradise where the broken ones should.

Tell me that your life's not at stake.
So move on!
Drop it!
I'm stuck with the ones who will never understand,
Reality is fragile,
Reality's in demand,
You want your salvation?
Take this plan,
Take this gun,
Take the trigger,
To your skull,
Release your specters to the world,
Or you could get off your ***,
Point the gun where it belongs,
Then they might drop it.
Sang this for my friends and they loved it! One dude told me I need Jesus (U.U)

Question Everything
Josh Hall Mar 2014
Look at the torches and lighters while they wave.
Do you ever care about the darkness they'd make?
Or about the light that they take?
The shadows shake,
To hear the questions asked by romantic's prey.
No my ****** up friend,
It's another question asked due to my actions,
Because you needed help and I led you astray!
You were a victim of the knife with which I play!
Answer me a question!
Would God ask for your soul to steal?
What about your skin to peel?
And I'll keep saying,
I'm sorry I could not conclude,
Did not mean to be rude,
I was distracted by all of these terms and conditions,
All the questions they all ask of me,
And I don't deal well with authority.
Truth be told I think we're meant to ask questions,
So that we may hide in our answers!
So here is a question:
Do questions die?
This one took a lot out of me, I need a nap. And you all should listen to "Youth Is Wasted On the Young"- Architects
Josh Hall Mar 2014
I was writing all down what was written before,
Writing down prats,
Writing down ******.
When I stumbled upon an array of deceit,
It was a trap,
They took my journal from me.
I smiled.
No one will ever find their bodies.
Bailey! What do I do?? I can't find it! @Kittytheemoprincess.

By Day
Josh Hall Dec 2013
In the day,
I feel the end coming,
No wind blowing,
No insect humming.

The horizon stretches,
toward the pink and orange sky.

How I wish I could go there.
How beautiful to die.

But living...
As a coward,
wallowing,
Day by day,
hour by hour,

Swallowing our fears,
Then for a safety we drink them down some more.

These calloused fingers show the work of mankind,
But when there's nothing left nothing matters but this mind.

The senile society we work for today,
Killed me dead on the spot with bio-terror serenades.
The fire in the sky lights my hopes ablaze,

They are ashes now,
The desires of this day.
To myself I wouldn't bow,
a god in disarray.

An empire of one man,
One freedom,
one gun.

By day this infinite power,
By a day that is an hour.

And this empire has one man,
One coward.

Los Jovenes Nueva!
Josh Hall Feb 2014
New sounds of grateful pupils,
They learn what they want as long as their attempts are futile.

Want nothing,
Receive less.

The veiled shouting,
Gets undressed,

***, drugs,
Violence, jugs,

It's all the same when the siren tugs.

Our age of the noise,
The followers of a voice,

Doing not what is right,
But the new dawn of our snake's bite!

Her Majesty
Josh Hall Feb 2014
Rotting in this wasteland,
Right where you painted me,
A picture perfect defacing,
Of burning kerosene!

Drop your lighter to the stone cold pebbles,
**** all of the spectral levels,
Wavering and never tame...

The only body I possess,
Desecrated by her majesty's insolence!
Her kingdom of soldiers,
Are forced to enlist!
The knighted sheep will fight!
The palace door's locked!
And why do you check the clock?
You know you'll never leave!
Her majesty is the ***** of living,
Yet she owns the only key!

The ******* behind you,
Captain your only ship!
Because of them you'll never know,
Your subjects fell to ****!
Bite back your pity,
While you bite off your own tongue!
Let the riots burn your city,
While singing my dying song!
May you ******* die!
Let you burn and die you ****!

And I will not be alone!
Doesn't matter when! Now and then!
Watching your heart turn to stone!
I'll let it go you you ******* end!

Her makes ties insolence kills the serpents dead!

I'm begging you end it!
End it!
Rise mup to your pennant!
The flag of the mighty will dawn over severance!
******* end it!
End it!
Rise up to your pennant!
The flag of those left to die,
Will fly for our solace again...
(End scream)

I'm begging you end it!
Just end it all now I repent it!
Will your dry pity allow?
I tried oh I tried!
I gave up and lied!
Her majesty shot through this unbeating heart of mine...
OH WHY?!

Why do I try?
I tried oh I tried, I gave up and lied!
Feel the bullets of sorrow pierce through this GOOD HEART OF MINE!!!
It's a song I wrote last night, but it works fairly well as a poem,
It's about really generic anarchy, and rebellion towards opposition. It wasn't about anyone in particular, but I hope it's inspiring.

Lyrical
Josh Hall Mar 2014
I am no poet,
I am a song,
I am a violence that is my own psalm.
I am a lyricist,
And I wish to post,
Something to raise a toast,
To my favorite inciters of rage and prose.
I have been taking time off of poetry to write songs. I write them all the time. I will probably be receiving flak for them being songs, but we'll see.

Make it Hurt
Josh Hall Jan 2014
Bloodied and burnt,
The soul carried on,
Crooked and stern,
All complexities gone.

Why look so glum?
This is what you wanted.
This beat that you drum,
Is melancholy and dented.

Why do we like this flame,
Because it can ****,
We ask for our sorrows,
Let someone else pay sorrow's bill.

What are we without pity?
A shell in refuse.
In this abandoned city,
Pain is the only excuse.

Excuse your pain,
And we'll accept you.
Don't act so vain,
Make it hurt and we'll continue.

Running
Josh Hall Mar 2014
Look back through all our broken hopes,
Our love was everything,
You showed me the ropes,
And it lasted such a long time.
So why, oh why,
Would I abandon this coke-line?
Naive and no sting,
Really nothing to bring,
And I'll continue to sing.
But you know how I wait,
Millennium for fate,
Just to find,
It's too ******* late.
So I'll haul my *** up to the higher ground,
You may scream right up the hill,
But it won't make a sound.
We'll both move on and I won't turn around.
I'm running,
Running,
Running,
To the high road now.
So if it's alright I have to go.
Wish I could stay,
But we're done.
So now I have to go
Just leave me alone.
I wish I could stay,
But we're over,
I'm phased.
So I'll run,
And I'll never stop.
Originally a song.

It Is You
Josh Hall Feb 2014
You,
You don't know me,
I am a silhouette of a ghost that does not exist,
But yet you listen,
Listen to the breath of a simple sad song,
I could tell you a story,
But it would only inspire you to stray,
I wish that you stay on the straight and narrow,
But there are tributaries and animal trails to explore.
What you don't know,
That is what kills you.
So learn all you can,
Listen to this subtle figment of your imagination,
The voice of a lost angel,
You don't know me.
But I know you,
I've always known you.
There is nothing to lose,
But your mind.
So listen to this first crazed warning I give,
Do not stray,
But rather except your supporting pillars of reality,
It is the reality you make.
But your past is a different reality you say.
You're wrong.
The past has nothing to do with the ghost,
The voices and the ghosts are not reminders.
They are teachers.
For the only thing in your life that matters is the future.
The voices have died now,
Now the mist from your eyes is gone and you see...

— The End —
