#abysmal
War is a waste of precious young blood War is a waste of fresh natural resources War is as bad as a raging and vile flood War is evil if you understand the sources The reasoning behind such unnecessary Aggression and the violence and the vanity Which are cowardly robbing and destroying Mankind. War is bad. War is a very bad thing War is evil and criminal War is mortal and abnormal. War is a waste for the perpetrators and the victims War is a waste for all. But peace comes like dreams Distant dreams. Peace is more precious than money Diamond, gold, silver and all other precious metals Said a very eloquent brother who deserves all medals Ever invented by famous and powerful institutions Give us peace, not evil wars dear highly divine Almighty Help men learn from past errors and nugatory aggressions War is unnatural and abysmal War is lethal and inimical.

War Is A Waste Of Precious Young Blood
In this unholy battle, We're acceptable collateral? Why is this accepted? It's not even ethical Distract, create a spectacle Like, oh I don't know, A traveling circus Call it a big tent revival Keep your intellectual To an abysmal level View who believe you To truly be the cesspool From car to front door, time to mingle A hive mind kicks in, single file Resembling a slaughterhouse line Cosplaying as unaware cattle Only the needy need the label to be biblical Instantly non consequential Tell me, who's more feared, A specific god or his devil? Is it possible be honest though? Any chance of pausing the show? And collectively admit The only truth is...we don't know ©2024

~•§•~ Do You Even Hear Yourself? ~•§•~
I've always been the kid in the hall Outside the office door of some metaphorical "principal" Donning a dunce cap, back to the wall Anticipation spikes in general This time it's special When waiting for the next hypothetical, often hypocritical, shoe to fall I make it a double Dribble and drop the ball Taking on the challenge of life was a bad call The order's too tall, don't try it y'all What I've been given to work with is abysmal Can't rely on it being factual at all A criminally out of date owners manual A For Dummies series appealing to a low level criminal Vaguely creating, and/or aiding, this failure ritual Oh the unmitigated gall Scheduling my burial service to take place before the funeral Fuucking brutal I hate it and it seems the feelings mutual The line stepping is habitual The backward motion is perpetual Not sure any of this is avoidable But, what do I know... ...everything and nothing is impossibly possible ©2023

~•§•~ A Burial Before the Funeral~•§•~
Genuinely feeling hope for something good, and being lead by false hope to believe a lie as truth, are two different beasts I don't hate myself for what I felt, or thought, but instead what I was lead to think was okay to believe I was lied to, again; my words beckoned something I thought was genuine, and deceit was all that met me, just like every time before it I'm sick of being here, of thinking anything gets better, because it's true that the those who spend their fortune at keeping an authentic heart for others will inevitably end up alone, indebted to those who only care of themselves I give myself away too often, but only for what I objectively observe as being meaningful, but I'm afraid that closing off my mind will bring me to the dark place again, and I never want to go back there I have no control of what someone believes or feels, nor do I know what that may be, all the same I just take what I am given, if it seems and feels good; if it echoes compassion and sincerity, because that's exactly what I lack most I hate being a slave to this paradox, but my freedom may only come with absolute truth I have no more faith for that - I still hope; potentiality rings, but I know that's one sided on my end A wish is a wish..

Echoes
you little shattered thing, have you lost your pieces again? are you still seeking comfort from someone's apathetic hands? allowing yourself to cave in to their abysmal demands? you stupid little thing you disappear more every day even your reflection dissipates cause it can't bare to see your face you human-turned-monster have you forgotten how to live? didn't anyone teach you how to give parts of yourself to the others? you ******* idiot why can't you remember the past? do you just choose to forget? and why do you lie about your quiet laments? are you blissfully ignorant   or are you consumed by regret? your sweet shy soul where did it go?
