Two faced

Many minds

Shifter of shapes

Dr. Jekyll

Mr. Hyde





Past lives

Intertwined

Most mean

Few kind

All vie for equal time

All determine to shine



The writer

The fighter

Drama king

*** machine

The revolution ignite-r

The brave slave

One with

Passion and fire

The singer

Dead ringer

One who points the finger

Conspiracy theorist

Lyricist

Soulful swagger

Hip Hop demeanor



The teacher and student

The dude with attitude

And no one can refute it

A brother and a son

The one that has been shunned

One who leaves them stunned

With the selfish things
I’ve done

The secret me

The enemy

The one whose heart is numb

There are a lot of us

No stopping us

And yes there’s more to come



I’ll never alter

My alter selves

Incarcerate them

In individual cells

Even when they scream and yell

All are a part of me

And they refuse to be veiled



You ask me

Is there a pill?

A remedy…?

Because this has to
be

Insanity



Did you disrespect

My dissociative identities?

Do you really want

to make all of us

your #1 enemy?

We’re laughing

Its killing me  

We flip the script easily

Me- and all of my
inner entities



Chillingly

You’re triggering

A very sad memory



Oh, what a tragedy

You’re just another casualty

Unfortunate fatality

Of my Multiple Personalities…

Hero or Villain

Resident of

Heaven or Hell?

I could be the crooked cop

Or the innocent prisoner in jail

Which one?...Can you tell?

Batman-Superman

Lex Luther-The Joker

Pinky and the Brain

The whole world I’m taking over

An antagonizing protagonist

A mesmerizing foe

A friend of the enemy

So you better keep me close

  I can save you

Or am I the reason

You need to be saved?

Are you comfortable with me?

Or do you sense

Your about to be betrayed?

Master or slave?

Forced to behave

Choose to disobey

Get laid to your grave

Arch-nemesis

There is no winning this

When the battle being fought

Is on my premises    

I’m a fallen angel

Who has finally found his grace

How can you not believe

Such an honest face?

Hero or villain

Do I really have to choose?

I can be either/or

At the flip of a coin

What do I have to lose?

I live in a place …

Where intelligence

Is dissed

And ignorance

Is bliss



Where refusing

To be forced into a box

Is taking a questionable risk

And if you

Step out of place

All eyes will shift



Where accepting the life

You’ve been assigned

Is just a formality

And you’re constantly being

Criticized for your individuality



I live in a place …

Where you have to

Play your role

The stage is set

So forget about

Your own goals

Do what you’ve been told



And you just might make it

But until you do

You’ll have to fake it



So secretly read up

Ingest all you can

The only way to

Escape ignorance

Is to devise an

Intelligent plan

Cannibalistic animals

Feeding off of each
others pain

Blood ******* leaches

Reaching for their
own personal gain



Civilized savages

Educated fools

Empire of vampires

Rearranging the rules



Disguised in neckties

Briefcases and
smiling faces

Cloaked in lies

Spiritual wickedness
in high places



Coagulated rivers

Calculated killers

Cryptic crimes

Comprised by

Gifted minds



Concrete jungle

Play the game "or be
the game

The weak who stumble

Are hunted down and
maimed



If you can’t beat ‘em
-join ‘em

It’s the only way to
survive

Stepping on the heads
of others

Just to stay alive



Its dog eat dog

And every dog has its
day

Today is mines- so be
smart

When you hear the bark

Stay the hell out of my
way

The World Will Not Be Pleased

(Poem by Serenus)



I can’t please everybody

That’s the bottom line

I tried to fit their mold for me

And I failed every time



I made myself the “nice guy”

Reliable…Mr. Dependable

Now I realize- to most of them

I was just expendable



Disposable, unnoticeable

Until they needed something from me

I was so approachable

Now I’m uncontrollable

Because they can’t get what they need


A change was bound to come

And it was very clear to see

Let me reintroduce myself

This is the brand new me…


Oh you don't like it?

You know that you are

Free too leave...

because no matter what i do


…The world will not be pleased



I can’t make everyone happy

And yes I’m done with trying

I realize it will be the death of me

If I continue complying



Ask me to jump

And I’ll never again say “how high?”

Id share with you my water

In the heat of a desert

But you would just drain me dry



Love me for who I am

I refuse to beg and plead

Id rather die standing up

Than live forever on my knees



I love the word “No”

I can now say it with such ease

Something so simple

Has absolutely set me free…


I could care less

If you don't like me

Your hate will not be appeased

because no matter how

"Perfect" i try to be


…The world will not be pleased

Evolution

(Poem by Serenus)


Many people don’t believe in evolution

But I’m determine to evolve

Then I’ll start a revolution

And get the masses involved



We’ll spread the message like pollution

Love will be our cause

Hate needs a substitution

Or else- nothing will be solved



We will be immune to evil

A sickness that can

Never again take control

No more hatred or animosity

It’s like cancer to the soul



No more violence or war

One day we’ll look back in horror

And wonder, what was it all for?


One day we’ll rise above the fray…

And be disgusted

By the way we behaved…



Racism

Sexism

Slavery

The holocaust

War of religions

Terrorism

Torture…

How could we have been so lost?


As a people

We don’t have a choice

But to evolve

Or else-

As a people…

We will all dissolve.

They call me gifted

I got it down to an exact science

You can call me scientific

Poetry personified

Powerfully prolific

Rhythmic

So addicting you’ve become dependent

You’re so lost in me

You have no choice

But to defend it

I’ve turned you into a believer

When you were just a cynic

You’re sick

I’ve infected you

Sending you to the clinic

Untreatable

Wide reachable

My mind is an epidemic

A disease that destroys

The things that you

Were taught to mimic

And shows you

That the world around you

Is a cleverly designed gimmick

They call me prophetic

I say no

I’m just not afraid to

Point out the pathetic

Power hungry people

Whose sincerity is synthetic

The futures in their hands

And you’re content to let it?

Some call it rhetoric

I call them irrelevant

Speaking out of the side

Of their necks

Hand held out for paychecks

Employed by evil-Ignoring the Hell of it



They call me gifted

But they can have the same gift

If they open their minds

Don’t disregard the signs

Refuse to stand stiff

Then watch the world shift
