#savages
Sometimes the fondness Of what we feel inside Can't fill the void Tragedy tries to hide For we seem to long For suffering, masquerading As if it's happiness We seek But the irony's what's Funny, 'cause the turmoil Boasts of self-righteous Anger Where it's always someone Else who is To blame And it's always us who's Done the sacrifices For the game It's all nothing But neediness, preparing us To be accepting of what we ultimately are Savages.

Savages
We're all savages, Salvaging for ignorant bliss, Ravaging for a specific purpose. Some seek religion, Others offer passion, But we render redemption. But make no assumption: They prey on the weak, And pray to a god. One who asks to talk, But doesn't walk with them. One who has a place above, But saves face in the name of love.

ravaging
Truthfully, you remind of someone I'd know in my dreams; a strangers face made recognizable by lack of initiative, or curiosity. Impervious to actualization. Confidence in nightmares; reflective of shock-waves of Nagasaki, mutants in our collective DNA, monsters wading in the gene pool. Atheists with superstitions. A viral nihilism befuddled by religious idioms and anecdotes, held together loosely by scientific mysticism & hypocritical moral superiority. She reminds me that humanity is just, "everything that mankind is capable of." Builds complex doomsday devices in his head, and plots to rule the world. Meanwhile Manhattan project seeks to either rule the world or open it's throat. It pains me to write a puff piece on hometown, love-life, hope/etc., yet I can wax lyric lusting for the apocalypse. In this fashion, I can look into crowds [sadistically romantic] and tell them, aspiring to the Manhattan in our everyday savage grey matter, "We all have dreams in our hearts."

"Doom Convertible [or Red Sky Blues]."
Arms, legs, body and head, you can not deny it, we are just a plague widespread. Across me sits this smelly man, I see in him nothing but an orangutan. I look at his face, look at his hands, there is nothing more than a monkey in pants. I try to think of how does he think, but what do I know; I’m written by the same ink. Years and years, nothing but a lion’s purse, now seconds passed, we think we are masters of the universe. A load of meat floating on a rock, I guess we are lucky, but we haven’t even learned to walk. We hope and dream our dreams, we want to achieve, but everything is wrong when it’s not how it seems. Everyone is a god, everyone is supreme; When their belly is full, everyone lives in his own dream. But take away the feast, get in their way; Man becomes the most savage of beast. We haven’t lost that jungle sense, no diffrent than animals, our population is just more dense. But I guess we are noble in a way, that’s the greatest irony of all; Because I know how to say what I can say. Ape does not know that he is ape, he does not know the diffrence between an apple and a grape. He does not even know if his own kin he rapes; but for **** sure we should know, that we are nothing but the next-level apes.

Next-Level Apes
A town filled with degenerate and clowns, where stars shine bright and street lights are nowhere in sight. Drunken buffoons, swarming the saloons, stirring up chaos with their little spoons. Lost actresses turning into brainless waitresses, the common conversation turning into nothing more, than the gossip of your ever fashionable ***** Stay too long in this dystopian filled town and you'll find yourself growing old and bored, dying internally like a cancerous plague, waiting for the zombies to rise. Not aware that the zombies are here, alive and well, roaming the streets, ever so disguised, make eye contact and prepare to die.
