We see the clouds and the fiery pits And we hope for our chance to fly. But we are never fully certain Of where we go when we die.

Cindered
See where it gets you? In the toilet bowl. Open mouthed, force fed remains, gasping **** instead of air, grabbing at hair. stop it stop it! See where it gets you? Wrapped up in business never meant for your energies, fitting, in turn, into crowded papyrus. Save me. Save you. Save me? Save you? Why? Matter is finite. I'm of it. Build your empires. Believe through the matter, the matter of course. I pick myself up from the floor, and sweep back my soaking mop. Stop? Please. I had a whole day worse than tonight just last week. I'll enjoy my selfishness while I can, but thanks.

-- Rose City Tar Pits... "Empathy is Overrated"
Soon after nibbling pumpkin pie, I felt terribly amiss, where death be not proud did scythe lance me never came to bring bliss, well nigh, thus hour writhing with torturous pain awoke wish to lie with permanent rigor mortis supine without an intestate for meager pose Hessions this guy attests, which scarce material goods, one would immediately espy little stock dis due dill ling dad doth not deign deliberately displaying no deny ill asper being non materialistic, not wanting aye asseverate next of kin burden some task to decry. As per thee above mentioned immediate grippe of jabbing abdominal agony did not wane for extended period of time, which sudden devout praying Holy Scott twas in vane where that this ordinarily spry body of mine sought zilch ambition tubby vaunted or urbane, but these lovely bag of bones felt fragile as if one to many fruit loops taken on Ozzy Osborne's ): crazy train plagued with waves of gastrointestinal agony i.e. severe cramps dizziness nauseousness, and re pulsed with aversion to air, don, or trumpet a swan song, sans of this aged jilted (once shy twice burned) once besotted handsome swain hobbled thus unable to ride my high horse weathering a ****** reign of terror reducing me to hash out, this ridiculous juvenile refrain.

A Most Violent Reaction...
there's a lot wrong with the earth- & with my head i'm trying to shed my addict skin i'm so much more than what i depict & i've come pretty far, considering where i've been & this world may be bleak but i've gained some light by burning down every bridge in my sight- you may say my pyromania is born out of spite but your toxicity is now gone. i can finally breathe right. so i'm going to continue to fix myself i'll box up old memories, hide them high on a shelf because i’m done treating the past as my prison cell. i've roamed ******* far from the pits of your hell.

Pit Life
My mom never let me play in ball pits She said they were filled with germs If it were up to me I'd have played in them But I had to live by her terms where As healthy baby born and raised Only germs would get me sick So I chose to stay away Although I thought it was a trick My mom never let me play in ball pits She'd say they are covered in bacteria And that's all the criteria needed For her method of protection Against the risk of infection But correction What about the protection I needed from my own reflection Pinching and tucking and ******* In my stomach to make the image in the mirror hurt less Fighting and crying and trying Did my mom really do her best Now I'm not blaming her for the absurdity For it was me who created my insecurity That I failed to overlook each day But it's ok Because my mom never let me play in ball pits Each of us our has own struggles or disease Not just the flu or strep throat Mine was the desire to please Let go of all the worries But I could not let the war cease We can hope for the best and pray But if we all get sick anyway I must admit That sometimes I wish I played in ball pits

My Mom Never Let Me Play in Ball Pits
The dragon saw me fly Spread my wings in valour Zipping across, beyond Hoovering within and out The bold red blood pumped Showered zest and credence Saw the springboard of the skies Dreamt inside the beguiling clouds Slept peacefully in a paradise Forgot to guard from the fangs ******* in ripples of venoms Gullible in the darkened scenes Kidnapped and handcuffed on pillars Chained in the unmoving conflicts The chaotic shadowy cave stares Dares to throw me in the deep pits Fear is the only paralysis to fare The pearls so outdated in efficacy The bark of a feisty fighter diminishes Love for humanity is the only key

A Dragon Fist
Still the women wait in trembling hope Near the old pit head in the valley; The earth's turbulence has long abated; "Let him live, dear God", each prays silently. Still they linger, knees bloodied from kneeling Hopelessly on the old cobbled main street, Eyes ugly red from constant weeping. Not daring to acknowledge the worst. Still lies the sad morning after the vigil, And now there are no more survivors. **** this for a ******* waste of time," Yells Fat Irene as she waddles off to the pub.

Pit Head Tragedy
**The band starts playing at a ***** and crowded backyard. Rebellious youth gather to cast their vote with the stomping of their doc martin boots. Beer cans everywhere, everyone's trying to let loose the raw stranglehold their society has produced. The guitars go off and the ritual begins. First they assemble in the heart of the pit. In the center individual tragedies bring fourth the wrath of a God's army. Anarchy you call it, Ha! I call it reassurance, reassurance that this anger is surely communal. I never saw it more clearer, the youth's power to resist: If the government wont hear us, we will create our own sound even under the batons of fascism, we spit on your rule, your control of our art. We wont bow down to a law with our names written all over it, while another politician walks free from corruption. While another officer guns down an un armed child and calls it self-defense. While suspicious mass shootings continue to occur and mass cameras grow in recording. While you send more people off to war for another countries resources. These thoughts explode out of me into shoves, screams, ****** cuts, reckless behavior, and then finally release. Pure psychiatric release.**

The Pit
I stand before the walls of a glorified failure as it tumbles beneath itself. The nature of a grave danger, labored with a dire wager. Plunges and crumple, into a pile of rubble and to continue forth into a hidden tunnel. Dirt stain fingers and my inner winner; The only tools left to dig a way out of our rapidly crumbling puzzle. You delivered me my unfathomable killer- A ineradicable form of justice. My sacramental, misjudgment of a thrill gone astray. Leaving me feeding the birds which prey on saints most days. I stand before the wall as a simple thrall. Dirt and grime painting my nails. I stand in my hellish pit readying to climb. Ready to rise from the plague surrounding me. To fill my lunges with air, not lingering with death. I am ready. The bringer on the rise.
