Spitting up blood; Living, dying, What's its worth? I feel as the Emerald Ash Borer, Hated by those around me And stamped upon Until I am eradicated Whilst those same people Attempt to find some use from me Before I am killed. These are not loving societies, Reflected in our treatment of others; It was very nice to have known all of you.

Tears In The Rain
I shutter desire, I quiet fear, And drag a rusty blade across my skin. It's about what I let out, Not what I've taken in. These sweat and tears, This blood that drops, I hope you all soak it up. Each of you, like ***** mops; Never getting anything clean, Just spreading all the muck around And calling everyone *****

Marbled Miscreants
I have never met a more complacent lot, Than those of my compatriots; Never have citizens been more obedient, Than those of my immediates. Forget spilled tea, today it's Watered down coffee. Biscuits cut with sawdust Out from smaller & smaller molds, Eating whatever fed us. Cause we all know hunger Believing any narrative pushed so long as it's prevailing; The populace obsessed with popularity. It's a headache & a headrush in the states, Cool if you make the breaks But that's like hitting the ******* lottery. You gotta ask, what gives? What does it take To get a fair chance to stake a claim In a country full of people who don't give a **** What sense does it even make To try, When no one in charge does? For my own lot, & life - Whether tis here or afar

Coercive Acts
What fresh invention, Breaking with convention; To press down with anger, And drive firm with depression. Comfort in the arms, of a Thorny ex. Bathed in attention. A hopeless obsession- the silenced Tongue wags, In this quiet procession.
