#comradery
This obsession of pain and massacre A layered creation of human suffering The only assumption being that it came of fruition Or is it the aspiration to be understood? Is that what all want To be known? As it results in carnage That it costs our blood and we assume that it is a prest they owe Thinking that “It is what’s best” Never considering what it means to mend As we think for ourselves Though don't we live in a system of parts? Align our interests to avoid the rust Keep the pieces for this set together, not scattered parts That we run collectively That, in essence, we are a singular race? A collaborative force for this human race To lift life to its limits To crew those to solute So why divide then conquer? Why rip the fabrics of this collective Split the stitches that make us powerful Is it an ego complex? Is it previous conflicts? Reparations will repair Pain will subside Why defend carnage using pain Rather than make peace with it Avoid this egregious affliction Clear these vengeful contradictions Why not cheer for courageous drumming Are we missing something? Or is it our flesh and blood? Is it that we crave crimson mud?

Crimson Mud
You worry about the harm one could do? I'm worried about the harm being done. You're worried to offer an inch? I tell you, grab a hold of my arm!

Hell, Grab The Arms!
In between the lines There's the hint at some opinion And not just pictures you hang crooked On flimsy nails you drive. I'd rather keep the vocabulary Short & simple, If there's more from it Who might be reached Or that might be derived. I know you think you're something Just as much as I, I know I think you're something Just as much as I. If you can't see, you can have mine; I've already given up on one eye. If you can't sense it, I can go on deprived. To me it makes no difference, I'm only trying to help. Come what may, I'll survive.

Static Electric!
My Self is rooted in a larger city than mine. My Self is rooted in male comradery. My Self falls into a group. The group isn't universal for all my traits though. Thus comradery isn't a universal attribute in this sense. However, if I feel I need comradery, and I'm not in familiar surroundings, I can shift to a reality of the oneness of humanity, where all share the same home.

Roots
FRIENDSHIP Comradery, companionship and caring. Comradery, that one more drink, that one more dance and that one more scéal. Each creating its own story of bonding and continuing on its tradition. Companionship, the glow you feel with their presence. No matter the weight of the heart, it's power will lift it with ease. Caring, that one less drink, that one less story, but just one more minute. Sitting by their side minding and comforting you against all woes and sorrows. With no debt to be paid or collection to be made. Comradery, companionship and caring.

Friendship
My dog barks incessantly through the night At ghouls and ghost Only a dog's eye can sight For I swear when I look There's nothing to be seen He barks at the wind The trees and All in between He barks at me When I come to see What has him acting So strangely He barks at shadows Cast by the moon A shadow of his tail Has him all swooned He barks at cars  noise and Strangers in the night He barks at every little thing That cause him fright He barks at the neighbors cat At the neighbors fence He sits and dispense Of barking until spent Breaths lap water then barks again He barks a melody That's well received it seems For out of the night - the howling begins Dogs and cats alike They bark at the moon - they bark at each other They bark at whatever gives them pleasure

My Dog Barks Incessantly Through The Night
I get too deep in my own emotions, I never even attempt to try and bring myself back because I know that when I’m depressed they just become delusions. It’s simple to say that friendship can keep you sane but honestly, it’s the comradery the keeps me sheltered in an uncomfortable silence. Hearing about the pleasures someone can indulge in makes my heart break, then to hear them complain about the small demons they face in life just simply makes it hard to agree with their outlooks when I’ve seldom ever seen my happiness at its peak. It’s hard to think of them outside of our time together when almost every moment of my time is hard to fabricate. I love them but sometimes it feels like I have to liquidate and make my escape before I create a situation where I will negate the comfort I’ve created with them, it’s so hard not to express the feeling to leave.
