Dimension beginning of vile ****** exposed, And the Emperor has no clothes, While helplessly strut a mighty walk without a shame. Course of history repeating itself, Like the flow of water meeting in the river of streams, But recycle through the clouds and back to the ground it flows. Are we so blinded by the glimmer of the mirage of oasis in the desert, We toast with sands of dune to quench our thirst of our plight, And all is but a fickling light ducktaped by words of unintelligible muddled murmur? This is truly the flawed design of our time, When we no longer promote arts and crafts of philosophies, And religious cults of zealots condemned the science and Academia by berating it's achievement. Likes of ancient times of Agora and the height of it's human enlightenment, There are forces of deconstruction of society of choas ensued by hateful fear mongers, And systematic inward of national fevor of berserkers leveling progress. Maybe another dark age is inevitable, But little seed of hope I feel tangible, And sometimes event maybe a phoenix.

Flight of the Phoenix
Make my life a hollow reed That will bend now in stormy breeze For in numbers I find my strength Beneath the willow tree Make my life like the rock Piled high upon , top to top A stonewall that runs for miles Around my lands it stands Make my life short and sweet Give me peace not dire defeat Give me love and woman's sigh Amidst the clovered fields Make my life a Godly song One that knows right from wrong With wisdon as old as stars I'll dance inside the fire Make my life to unfold I am tired , my shoes have holes My dreams are seeds cast to the wind And just the husk remains Make my life now come to end It's my time to propend I'll walk among the ghost's remains And willingly I quote Hollow reeds will bend not break Holow reeds will not forsake Of hollow reeds my death bed make And lie amongst the stars

Hollow Reed
Who is to say what is true and what is false, Perhaps the angels who have fallen are you, And me. Stories and fables speak of our desires and fears, What are the gods if not reflections of all that we find holy? Does that not beg the question of who created who? Is God nothing more than a combination of our eggs? Some broken, Never a dozen whole, A reflection, however poor, of our fractures beliefs. And if we are fallen from grace and this life was deemed a sort of punishment then is it not our God given duty to rise above the suffering, Deny the base temptations And close the door on the face of hate? I do not judge the fallen angels, I count myself amongst them, And we want to go home.

Fallen From Grace
When someone dies their thoughts Die with them, Their bones absorb their words- After a summer others cease to remember, We fade and then are gone. Each person is replaced: Vast cities shrink becoming grass-beaten mounds, Shining cultures wither, Their intricate palaces shatter, Temples decay under interminable suns, Religions flounder, sacrificed to time. Philosophies expire like sunlight When night falls, wise words unravel, Tortured by inconsequence, Decay dripping from each syllable Like uncollected wind-driven ******* Running down a lonely street. In the alley the dog howls, Amongst the discarded boxes the Raven sings.

When someone dies their thoughts die with them.
Long time, no see this easy chair, that smoky memory in the air. A glass of Jack, one amber eye, cigar smoke drifting toward the sky. Tonight, the joker calls us in, where truths begin and end again. Philosophies rise, then fade away, like sparks that glow, then lose their say. Each soul laid bare, a fragile thread, of things we’ve lived, of words unsaid. Opinions clash but softly, still, like waves that break, yet never **** We place our fears, our dreams, our fire, upon the table of desire. Spin words like coins into the night, and watch them fall in borrowed light. The hour leans low, the fire grows thin, no loss, no victory no need to win. Just honest hearts, and spirits free, arguing toward what we cannot yet see. And when we part, no truth is slain we leave with less of self, not more of gain. For in the space where egos end, disagreement becomes a friend. Not to conquer, not to prove, but simply quietly to move… a little closer to the light we almost touched tonight.
