I would pray, But he's probably too busy, Killing people Tearing families apart Spreading diseases Watching children starve He's too focused on his reality TV, That's our reality. He can't be bothered to listen, To that teenagers cry for help, As they beg for a reason Not to End it all He doesn't have time to hear about, Your pancreatic cancer It's in operable? Not. His. Problem. You devoted your life to worship? Too. **** Bad. See, I would pray for, Peace Or Mercy But he's too invested in his, Little old game.

Mercy? Don't. Make. Me. Laugh.
I would rather decay from the abundance of living than remain untouched by the terrible sweetness of being human

Interconnectedness arrives as a terrible greatness yet departs the same way. Some things are never meant to last, so i'm holding on to the memos we had.

an artist of life
In reverse of the waddle wheel the landscape runs back in blow of winds that take a hair threadlike’s hand to dance a trickle of pathos when I swallow. Not thoughts of of prattle, but roars within struggle as if time concreted through spaces, still, to contingency thee confide. What a subtle heaviness to stand where I shall revel What a terrible freedom to know what I cannot sail It’s gonna end. But until now I can’t even tell what I am missing, for what, and by whom?

Why'd you go and do that? I miss you from two years ago, Before he had his way, And it scarred you for life. I know you're scared, But he won't protect you, I'm afraid he just can't. So come back around, We need both hands to do the bird, In our secret handshake.

It's terrible No words said Yet your eyes yell Pinching aroma embed Oh, well I wanna be more innocent To make your heart discontent

Wondering...
As he looks up in the sky he sighs and wonders he gapes and almost staggers lost He sees one surviving star shinning brighter than the wandering lot casting his thoughts like fish net he makes a wish to his loved ones maybe they laughed at the old terrible joke of the palm squeezing greeting Or cried about another broken *** The kids must really be my blood And maybe she laughed the same terrible laugh Or grimaced in similar ancient grief Lined across her fore head the day l last saw her

"You write so beautifully, your mind must be a terrifying place," he said softly, though he hadn't uttered a single word. It was his eyes that spoke to her the most. She surrendered herself to the tears that raced down her cheeks and smeared the ink on her hands. Found prose in the Rahul Bansal quote.

bib & tucker
Broken, bludgeoned bitter curmudgeon false teeth, fake smile as I walk the extra mile just to please you and I'm quickly finding that it's not my style

I KNOW
So I did a few things wrong So I acted kind of strange Why tell these things to me While hiding behind a screen? Well you were gonna come to my door You were gonna tell me it there But oh? Guess what? I had other places to be. I wrapped my life around all of you You mentioned how I acted like the world revolved around me, but I did But I wasn't and now I have to pay I quit piano lessons and never joined a club I ignored Bible Study Just to talk to you I waited and I waited But no one ever came To say goodbye to me before I flew away So instead of saying 'I'll miss you' You're saying 'Fuck you' And I did everything I could and tried to make you happy But my past that spilled from my lips Made you hate me all so much and the way I was just ****** you all off more Sorry for being a **** up But that doesn't mean I'm going to **** it all up

I never liked horror films, but it seems as if it's our only reality.

2020
it has become the daily accessory hated and loved alike sign of bad times and limited mobility by some    equanimously accepted    as yet another fashion piece for others a threatening symbol    of prescribed orders from above for many just a necessary nuisance     that will go away in time we certainly need to change our reflexes upon the sight of persons masked     before Corona          at least in our latitudes     masks were a sign of robbers and bandits     now it’s the good guys who wear them     the bad guys who don’t     and … how can we be sure of that? a real challenge to find out just from the movement of the eyebrows whether you face a friend or not

the mask
We were a country that lived near the equator; I was the land and you were my infinite sky. We have lived and witnessed our aeons together. Each moment fleeting, and passing by.   The wind whispers, and the creatures rumble weeping for me the unfair weather I hold Only the dry seasons and the rainy seasons come by and the sky, he's always done what he's always told. When he cries, he creates floods and storms or peaceful drizzles and ditz so plain and when's angered, he takes right up the moistened land and then grants me pain. At night, he's terribly beautiful and quiet the stars twinkle like stickers on my attic The silent love, and the prolonged memories and what he holds, goes far beyond semantics. I sung, "*Precious sky, I am your earth the land you watch with clouds and dew*." And he replied, "*Pretty land, you are my purpose and there's nothing to take me from you*."

The Sky and the Land
When I stare at mirrors My eyes disrobe the lies And shadows of my mind Til I'm left with emotions Creaking on worn floorboards Stepping into a noose Kicking the insecurity out And waiting to find out If I died Or was set free

Window to the Soul
She sees the ocean In your beady eyes, And she wonders What you see in her. She wonders if you know How deep the sadness goes, And how she carries it Just beneath her skin. She fears you'll walk away When she leaves you with nothing, But the bitterness and broken Shattered pieces of her soul. She is trying so hard to hold tight, Just to keep herself sane and whole. But then the time came When you started, Seeing all the things She sees in herself. And that was the most Terrible thing for her, Because she was aware That you won't s t a y. And she was right. You l e f t her.

Terrible Thing
My parents warned me about the bullies the responsibilities, drugs and terrible things, but they never warned me about beautiful tan skinned boys with hazel eyes that could make you forget how to breathe, eyes that cut deeper than a knife ever could, whose smile could unwittingly **** and make you forget how to think. And whose hands could steal your suffering soul and shatter your heart into millions of pieces. Whose gentle lips could make you stupidly forget all the bad things he’s done and keep you begging for more. Whose touch sent shivers down your spine and paralyzed you. Oh god. They forgot to tell me how he’d make me feel. And how much agonizing pain I'd be in When he left.

Brown-Eyed Boys
My mother says that when she was was younger, she was scared of the lord. More scared of the lord then her own parents and  I, I am desperate for my mother’s approval and I am scared of her truth. More scared of her truth then slowly slipping away into a dark place in which I may never return. I am terrified. Terrified of the chaos buried beneath back of my terrible brain. I am terrified. Terrified of admiring my own shame and maybe I blame this shame on my mother for never telling me that *** was ok, but it’s still shame and that’s all that matters. For years, I never thought that I mattered. That maybe, the world would be a little less violent, people would be filled with a little less silence if only I was gone. Disappearing into space like I never truly existed.   But I have never truly existed, have I? I walk around with terrible secrets strapped to my chest like they belong there. If only I could say, “ mom, I like girls. I like the way they look sometimes even more then I like boys.”   And if only I could speak. If only I had a voice to preach and It’s a shame that young girls feel the same!   My mother says that when she was was younger, she was scared of the lord. And I, I am scared of something that can actually be seen. Of something that you don’t need to look in a book and read. Of something that doesn’t seem that far away. Me

Isn’t it terrible?
Maybe it's the warmth Or the delicious aroma of burning meat But I wanna go to hell And smell Don't know where I'm going with this But oh well, Time will tell.
