Ivy prying sickly little patterns Over weathered marble Drying into autumn Soured clover spitting flower fodder Power living deeper Seething stranger towers clouding water River founding cities Plowing fitting visions vowing honor Dying in the streets Among the leaf appearing from a gutter Under marching clutter singing arbor into many others ****** if a murmur isn’t echoed further outing fathers Bound to pass a burden Surgeon scalpel serving hallowed daughters Hours over eons Over galaxies or galant parents Drowning in a sea of turning time Below the grinding planets Finding little moments Here and there To stir the brewing panic Signing every letter Leather binding Solemn coward banished Given up already Dreading answers only getting silence Searching furrowed forest Lurking treasures forming learned guidance Breathy whispers egging Empty guesses pouring from the pious Crying over constellations Craven paper tiger liars.

Gorgon's Masonry
A jaundiced adaptation     of fillers raucous threats attempts obsolete mimicking    in a conspicuous pomposity      of disfigured reckonings   slipped us the tongue of your     ostentatious audacity mid judgmental manifestations Disengaged, as our eyes grew dim      ' neath the masquerade             of multiplex duplicity **who the ****** hell do you think you are?**

Conspicuous pomposity
I am a brainwashed, pompous, white girl. I am a blonde haired zombie. I am an unspecified music genre. I am an incoherent thought in the brain of a broken society. I am the result of a hard-ass Catholic and half-ass Baptist. I am the consequence of a hard mother and an absent father I am a product of a corrupted America. I am a privileged white statistic. I constantly play the victim. I constantly hold myself responsible. I constantly lie, cheat, and steal I constantly prove I am a hypocrite. I am simple, indecisive, and manipulative. I am myself and then contradict myself by being someone else. I am human, but unadorned. I am a blank canvas which manifests contradictions and inabilities. I am a snowflake made of stone. I am an uninterested, direct line of truth spurts I am plain. As you see from my complexion, I am pale. As you hear from my words, I am a refutation of minority. I am not unique, I am not creative. I am not what you think I am. I am not who you think I am. But if you knew who I was: Would you leave?

I
doth thy timorous voice tremble so, faced with choice one so simple as to be common sense between freedom and thy abusive ex?

Sense
They died thinking they could save me Fighting in a pointless meddling war To bad they died for nothing. I can't respect the decision To let others die So you can force your opinion on someone else.

Inconsequencial Effort
The world belongs to me and the people in it - Are merely my rug My mat to smear And scrape off the **** of my day From my overpriced shoe I did not buy the world Nor did I work for it Or declare dominance I gained it By birthright And since I never asked To lead or protect I won't I'll wallow in my wealth Looking down at legions of ants Crawling over my earth And all I think? "Exterminate."
