I got a *** to **** in but this **** in this *** It's all I got When confronted with that Eminem talk, that proverbial one shot I gotta stop saying, "sure, why not?" First of all, what a crock Secondly, IT'S FUUCKING NOT! Forgot a lot but never lost the plot Though I find myself oblivious to subplots a lot Flames are hot, can't say the left sink handles not But the one with a label is not the one too hot too handle, Lessons learned on the spot Connecting lines, lost a dot ...gotta be a 'bot... Fasten a sloppy slipknot, keep it taunt Toss it up over the branch to swing from, now I have a forest to haunt Awake or asleep, absorbing the same onslaught What's fake, what's not? Sunken eye socket, looking gaunt Believe it or not, it's only ever been just an ink blot Write my theory in ransom font Look for the proof, there's a lot Go one step further than you were taught Always remember it could all be for not That's why you'll find me on a canvas cot of rot to rot in the back corner of Salem's lot A set with a pre dug spot for a later point in the plot That is if I can survive the death scene in the pilot AKA a nobody that not just somebody but everybody forgot Only thing that sticks around are the demons I fought Tell me, whatcha got? ©2024

The moon amidst the celebrations of stars still in its proverbial stance only the eye no fingers! If there ever a moment of flower let it be today the rose in the tips of the fingers!

Only The Eye No Finger
House of plastic spoons A man eats differently Than dined with silver

Not Alike
The world is upside down, we did not prepare, we would not believe, That our time will see a fool that wears the crown, That the jackboot once again stomps the dreams so free, The sun and moon will drown, We refuse to see, Those who we consider brothers, Will turn on us with righteous frowns, That they will cover and devour. The fear is real and now, Two horsemen are ready, and they are here, They make us starve, they make us bow, Until the other two appear. The world is upside down.

Upside down
Control is like a door betwixt familiarity and anonymity, Best left ajar, If found wanting, It’s either shutting someone out or locking someone in.

Circumstance and Desire
My life is a proverbial pigsty, A ***** place. And all I need is your love, To cleanse me. To purify me. And to make me squeal.
