virtually everything
grows
virtual spacing out
bright
rainbows
black light
rainbows in reality

hurting yourself hurting others
doing the opposite of what we know that bothers
the fathers
of our want
just don’t

virtually everyone
knows
literal meaning
of might
raindrops
black skies
rain drops off our pity

virtues making so much sense
vinted features made variously fenced
in a sense
of our need
we bleed

rainbow reality
a black cell
rainbows
rain blows virtuality

maybe this world is another planet’s hell
this started as a poem and ended up a haunting song: http://sptfy.com/virtuality

It was a gruesome place
Blood
Weapons
Everywhere
Bloodshed.
Betrayal.
No one could see happiness
Just
Tears
Darkness
Doom.
But the dreamer of Hell
Was worst
She laughed
At the bloodshed
Cried
When it stopped
She is
Not afraid
Of anything
She always
Sees her death
Clearly
So
Gruesome
And ugly
And so
To thwart
Her only fear
She kills
Others
To stay alive.

In and out of Hell she went
For the Heaven she searched for
Didn't exist

Why is it,
the best of mankind’s minds all dwell
on the tortured side of hell?
For those within their high ivory towers,
far from the tortured toiling
of the boiling broth below
hold the keys to change
but fail to unlock that
which the doors of hope bestow.
Granted,
not all those that survive the swell of the Devils ****** spell
become patron Saints
through their pain,
but the very act of survival
means that their miraculous revival
can put life into those long dead
with that earned wisdom
birthed from the dungeons within their heads.
For Dantes rocky road
is for those alone
whose abodes
are bestowed
within the land of no mans code,
who bare the weight of tomorrow’s load,
until they don’t

Sin
When you sin
It makes a black hole in your body of light

That one sin
Starts gnawing at the light

If you sin more
It takes over your body

Like a disease
Until the light is gone

And when you die
It takes you to hell.

How do I play with this
Devil-dealt hand. When
Each card ignites at the touch,
My hands have become callous
And rough
But still they are clean, indeed
They are clean. I do not care
To mend them but I admit
I worry who shall
Comfort them, if they shall
Receive comfort at all.

How then, do I proceed
Through hell, through
This brittle landscape
Forged from badluck
And prescribed
Mistakes.

Perhaps, I shall
Laugh as Dante did
When he painted
That world.

In a broken doll
After my friend
Called me a racist slur
I see the hole
In the dolls chest
And see
The void
Pure blackness
Like that of a black hole
Full of nothing but hate
That void haunts
Me to this day
