Crash on through?

Or tread carefully?

Walking on broken glass

Suffering is a similiarity

Synonymous with life

It’s the opalescent tragedy

Walking to the grave

With an instruction manual

Predictable but pleasurable

Like the ****** animal

Or like the rain is annual

Dare take the road less worn?

With your comfort coat shorn?

Alone is a storm?

Forlorn and forewarned

You prefer to stay warm

O Mother
Who so violent and beautiful

Lively, lush, and serene
In youth gone past

O Mother
How much longer shall you last

Once only revolutions
Alone and at ease

As time would have it
Your life grew to breed
Your tears rained upon us
Our only desire to feed

O Mother how we forsake you
We perceived God up above

But below us is He
And He is a She
In the warm dirt
And in the soft breeze

It's you dear Mother
I wish others to see

But watch my Caretaker
Dry your tears
In your lonely revolutions
I have felt your fears

Will the children abandon home?
Will the life that you bred
Forget it has roots
And leave you alone?

It is not for me to say
But I have seen my brothers
And I have seen my sisters
And I beg them to remember

The deep chill of December
The fragrance of the Fall
The Pacific in the summer
The vibrant life around us all

And as I breathe
So do I love you
And as I love you
So do you heal

We are young yet Mother
We have much to learn still

Bear traps and snares?
My dear, who cares?

Penetrating darkness
And tortures heartless
I could sleep through that
And dream regardless

La dee da
Boo biddy by
I don’t scare easy
My sweetie pie

I laugh at pain
I walk on nails
But I’ll tell you now
What turns me pale

What shakes my soul
It’s most profound
In every day
And every sound

It beckons my smile
And sleeps in my tears
My dearest, your love
Is the sum of my fears
Robert Ueda Jul 2013
Today my tears
Hit the floor of a chapel
Not for the past
But for what may come after

Alone and empty
In the garden of Eden
A sheep in wolves clothing
Searching for a pastor

Father, I feel your pain
To sigh as you wake up again
Your scars are physical
Mine are inside

We’ve been struck at the heart
Made crippled and blind
But too different in our battles
Are you and I

To feel empathy for another
Or understand why we cry
It torments us
And gives birth to divide

And so we walk together
In separate directions

Alone
In the worst of company
Praying silently
For a bullet’s comforting

"Such is life"
And “ashes to ashes"
"**** the *******"
"Now is all that matters"

All the modern philosophy
In all of the world
Could never repair now
What has been indefinitely torn
Robert Ueda Jun 2013
Treat your mother like your flesh
Your sister like a brother
Your daughter like a mother
And your lover like none other

Be wary of a woman’s love
But not out of scorn
For hell hath no darkness
Like a woman forlorn
Robert Ueda Jun 2013
You're dazed and confused
Bought and then used
Corrupt in the mind
A vessel to abuse

Second star right
Shine bright
You're alright

It's an illusion
It's a crack pipe
In an alleyway
On a dark night

Morbid and tragic
Stereotypical speech addict
I've had it

This writing is pointless
Sorrow sickness and coitus
Truer words never spoken
Inner awareness awoken

What does it change?
How much time did it take?
None

A thought to some
A world to one
Like a book to a nun

Go to sleep now
It's bed time
And I'm done
Robert Ueda Jun 2013
We're Selling Our Focus
Ten dollar hokus pocus
And you're loaded

Bing Bang Boom
You know this

How familiar
This pipe smokin'

Chemical explosions
And brain cell erosion

Numbness in the night time
Sickness in the bright time
Pride in your peers eyes
Until you finally realize

You cant see
You're blind
You cant hear
Your own mind

Nerve synapses snapping
Emotional waves crashing

You're too young
To NEED the left lung

Now you're lost
You're songs go unsung

It's not a warning
Its a mural

Its a photo
Not the future

And those who ran once keep running
And those walk sit wondering

How the other half live
Coming up
Screaming
This is it

Fall down the rabbit hole
It's like an **** in heat
If you cant beat em join em
We'll just plant another seed
