not being sarcastic not
Don’t tell me it can’t all be equally shared Don’t tell me elections are fair Anywhere I know whose had the power The weapons to prove it The world in their hands And the money to move it Perpetual profit New product to cell Dwellin’ deep in the pocket Of your lol So don’t tell me with Twitter you’re not all Obsessed When you buy every lie presidential address Comin’ hot off the press Not so free to inform A pornhub tuggin’ ****** Publicity Storm And another blackout On my people uncovered Like Firestone burnin’ through natives Unrubbered Don’t tell me you don’t have the cure Or that war Isn’t waged on the people To sheeple the poor To the industry slaughterhouse Dream factory Where success is a breath of fresh Debt peony I know slavery still puts That food on the table And big pharma’s FDA puppets, the label So don’t tell me dope is what’s making us Dumb Don’t tell me my God’s not the LSD sun Or that guns aren’t hired To desecrate my Sanctified inner peace Keepin’ graffiti sky For my ties to this earth Are invaluable worth So don’t tell me my rights haven’t been mine Since birth

relaxing? relaxing would be a sin against myself. see God spun and wove golden bits of wisdom in these curls that are mine. see these curls spring loud with songs of my Nubian mothers and war cries of my Rasta fathers. see these curls bounce proud to the rhythm of tribal drums and the foot prints of my sisters from Manila reside there as they roll lumpia between the coils and springs. see these curls have moved sandstone bricks cross deserts, building divine architecture so perfectly aligned with cosmos and planets until Moses told Pharaoh to Let My People Go. these curls have traveled cross oceans and triangles packed like sardines squalid below the decks of ships. see these curls have been ***** by the nasty ***** in the big house and suffered sun strokes in cotton fields. see these curls sing loud and strong. See these curls were branded and forced at gunpoint behind ******** barbed wire fences gassed to death in the name of so called purification. see these curls bleed the pain of fire hoses and dog bites and whites only signs. see these curls wont back down gainst no burnin crosses gainst no swastikas gainst no elephant ******** talkin all that jazz on fox and cnn. see these curls dance wildly off beat to straight rhythms that drone on in 4/4 time c major sixty bpm. see these curls are Mas and my Grammas. see my curls are too proud to sit back and chill and won’t take no **** or heat or hot air. see these curls cannot be contained in braids or scarves or jars of creamy crack. see these curls dare you to force them to coerce them to straighten up their act. my curls. my curls. my curls. my curls. my curls. my curls. my curls. my curls. my curls. my curls will not ******* relax.

I come from South of the border, just South of Portland with a little West bend not from the hills of the academic and domestic Wake up at 1P, M in the morning ash under my nails smelling errl in my nose hairs "Hey do you think I could *** a smoke, bro?" Sure my man I got a spare so don't fret, but I'm not a bro, though" "For real?" **** man, I run into you every day do I really have to do this every day? Life like the industrial companies lining my streets press and press and I press and I do it all again but every step might not go forward, I keep sayin I don't have the reserve to go on like this, this shit's burnin me before progress, can I just make a little bit? "No," says me, "but maybe you can next time." Can I get out of bed at least? "You know the rules," says me, "get to the car and the engine's running." But man there's a lot of broken glass down there, painful, diamond shards trailing in with the past down there. Is this fair? Okay, don't answer that. Not raised by a meth-head, thank god, but neglected, but kept safe in a home offering protection Mother's broke and mi papi es a ghost left to my lonesome devilish devices look it's a **** **** with vicious collection of debt and death-draw bridged in prevention by vices smoke till I choke, kid, smoke while I toast "I became someone so why couldn't you, too?" **** kid, I just want to see the weekend, Just want to see tomorrow, Just want to wake up sometime

Dreamcatcher, dreamcatcher Why did I dream that I die tonight I’m not sure I wanna fall asleep this time Monster, monster Under the bed is just a tale Made out of fear and confusion But when the night comes Dark thoughts and spirits appear Conquering my world around me Creepin’ out on me Out of the blue Burnin’ the good inside of me Leavin’ nothing but ashes Who am I What am I doing Can’t find myself Lost in the wood of my own despair I’m just a soul, wandering around

The cop asked me for my license to which I replied what the hell is that. Officer Tillman I belive i met your wife in a restroom down at the laundrymat. She didnt do ya justice. Cause you arent all that ugly but you are kinda fat. No my last name isnt Knoxville but I sure had some fun in Tennessee. Met darlin that left a burnin feelin behind just for me. My life is like a tweenty four hour cartoon. A wreckless wonder. If ya wanna ride along theres always room. Gotta babydoll I often reffer to as Tinker. She's my favorite semi insane funsize drinker. Got a amigo or two. Some fake ID's cause some people just happen to be looking for me. I thought you already knew. Some people like to hate. Clive. Forrest. Ian. Dont be jelouse your still living togather in the same basement no hope ever having none inflatable date. Iv'e taken some pretty hard licks. Put my mind in a blender . Now all im left with is becon bits. Im the Jackass of poetry alone I hold the crown. Some might call me a village idoit. But I would say im most fun fella in town. And if ya read this work and still cant see. You can go to hell. And thats one thing apon me my imaginary friends and my little badass tinker agree.

The ******* Of Poetry
Ya wonda why I'm filled with so much passion and rage/ But that's what happ'n when ya lessen a man to a cage/ I haven't even unleashed the darkness/ Imagine a soul that's heartless/ Crowley is weak compared to the I beast/ Within me, 'n He I now release/ It in I and we have begun to feast/ Spit it out Shut ya impudent mouth n listen/ Time ta quit ya fuckin' insolent dissin'/ Check me out I'm hookless/ Reckless/ You follow the text n I'm bookless/ Check this/ Determination look me in my Eyes/ Ya gunna stay in tha gutta, ***** ***** just to watch me rise/ RA!/ I am incomparable/ Can't match  me, I'm too lyrical/ I am an assassin/ Breath deep, I am the heir, with anthrax-in/ How I see it, You nuttin' but fails/ You in a row boat ***** n my ***** got sails/ Ya call me crazy/ Ya vision is hazy/ And ya thinkin is lazy/ What I know would make ya a sage see/ I'm filled with these higher optics/ Shouldn't need a telescope ta spot this/ but you do What/ Hoss is Down, Livin life like  love/ 'N neva givin' a **** I Come here to shut ya ta Hell up/ ------------Chorus----------- Duranged/ It's Dark n Strange/ You askin', "What am I"/ Darkness Fire burnin' opaque, I neva Die/ Strange Set by Ra, Look to tha Sky/ Nothin' weirder than I/ So Dark N Strange I Am, Cryptic Poetic Hark outta Range/ Who is, Dark n Strange/ Ya frightened of tha commin' age/ Ya too tormented by change/ IT'S NOW Needa label me "I Am" - The Omnipotent is Dark n Strange!

Chorus: The tides are turnin and keep me on the rise. Like the ocean waves, splashin' - I won't compromise. I was ten feet under, now I'm holding on. the tides are turnin' I can feel this battle won.

I was ten feet under, now I'm holding on. The tides are turnin' I can feel this battle won. Verse 2:  As the sun shines on the water, and ripples to the shore.

Raise your hand if your confidence is reaching its limit Well let me tell you, don't dare believe it for a minute A poet stands at the center of circles of illusions Sparked by the fire within and burnin' institutions They write about the current state as far as they can see it, as well as personal doubts claimin' that they can feel it Don't hand your savings over, 'cause now you pay it forward, but life won't pay you back, So what you say to that? *"I say we're bein' controlled by such an evil system; a metal contract was forced on lost and bleedin' victims." "I don't agree with you, man. We're where we need to be. With very little control, we risk to eat for free!" We risk to eat for free? "Food's a commodity! And with overpopulation, I say this honestly!" "Don't mean to interrupt; your notion of depravity appears dumbfounded and far from grounded by gravity." "I say this world belongs to kings and innovators; hope of the people is thrown to the incinerator." "We're seeking liberators mightier than the sword. We work to buy them a pen - weapons we can afford." "And when their eyes are wide open I think that writers see the world not for what it is, rather what it could be." "Yeah! They're talkin' for us metaphorically, imaginin' utopias for you and me, questions answered rhetorically."* The world is yours and no one else's, so live to give it more time through love and being selfless.

Whose World is This?
Curiosity killed the cat but I brought her back. Isn't that what they all say? They say its madness, too, that it eats you up inside and spits you back out, but I don't believe them. I only believe the salt and the earth running through my hands, the way it turns into mud when the rain falls or one of the old boys spits. They all have terrible aim. Often their spit is black, like pitch or tar, and when it falls it there's a little plop sound. Plop, plop, plop, it falls on the ground and gets churned up in the dust and makes mud. Disgusting. I wish I had a shovel, so's I could turn up that mud and see what lies beneath. There are roots in the ground like we have roots in the trees, bugs and rocks and more dirt to remind us of what we're made of. We were all dirt once, and we'll be dirt again, just as soon as they get done burnin what's left of our bodies. Mud to mud, dirt to dirt. I'm tired, I'm so tired and this load is so ****** heavy, but I can't let go. And who are you to say I should? You didn't even see that rock there, yeah, that one you're tripping on. You can't carry **** You got no idea what it's like to carry a load like this. Keep walking, keep walking, back on the road, eyes down. He's nothing. He don't know nothing. I wish I had some water in me to spit. It's gonna be mud. We're all gonna end up mud.

8/26/1991 Oh baby, Look what I've got, Cold steel blue eyes. They're burnin' hot, Cold steel blue eyes. Like fire an' ice. But it's not too nice, To have, Cold steel blue eyes. Baby, Help me, Take the knife, Out of the stare, Of these, Cold steel blue eyes. Baby, Please, Give my life, Something, For which to care. In these, Cold steel blue eyes. Baby, Can you, Stop these, Cold steel blue eyes, From seeing only, Gray? Oh baby, Please, Take these, Cold steel blue eyes, Away. Baby, Can you, Make these, Cold steel blue eyes, See without harm? Oh baby, Can you, Give these, Cold steel blue eyes, The calm, In the eye, Of the storm? Baby, Can you, Make these, Cold steel blue eyes, Warm again? Oh baby, Please, Take the pain, Out of these, Cold steel blue eyes. Baby, Help me, See the light, Through these, Cold steel blue eyes. Baby, Can you, Please, Make these, Cold steel blue eyes, Bright? Oh baby, Look what I've got. Cold steel blue eyes. They're burnin' hot, Cold steel blue eyes. Like fire an' ice. But it's not too nice, To have, Cold steel blue eyes, No surprise, To me. I have, Cold steel blue eyes, You see.

COLD STEEL BLUE EYES
You’re Here because your mind kidnapped you from your brain. Now Watch my soul walk right out of my shell. The real-life flesh prison. It’s Something to love and Something to hate. Use it and abuse it. And one Morning, you can "realize" that you really cared. Time is nothing. You're always the same. Dead and Gone? No, never gone, Just kicking it on the bright side of life. If i could remember. I would find a way to build a makeshift hallucination of your voice. A fires burning out & leaving nothing more than a handful of Ashes. You've lost everything. Ashes to sand, You've made something out of Nothing. One day. Some day, is always a nice thought. You can't cry forever. Eventualy. You'll run out of tears and it won't hurt as bad as it did at first. I thought I wanted revenge. I guess, I wanted closure. Turning the page and starting a new chapter.

Burnin' Like A Blunt.
Anguished lavish laureates has driven me slightly mad tangerine lemon rounds Erudites of oolong parties flying on the wreckages of forgotten sideral castles ice cubes crushed in the psychadelia Nuances of never tomorrows, slicky dew drops glistening jadded wells of deep thoughts callin' green algae lakes emerging Pale planes oozing silvery Neptune forks n'waves flyin'from above witchery wands in love with wondrous comets Thou sparkling dispersive master machine mind feedin' on oak wooden spoons tightly, tenderly sippin' magnified tinder from thy glances daemons of thy unconsciousness breathing me ******* flow and ebb thou chest ebb and flows bonvivants bountyful beams The inflamable black powder burnin' to take off like a swift rocket like a swell day's endless delight *The gold The pink The brave new horizons* Openin' grunges and volcanic desires pinnin' lovers, gluein' them to- gether in a desperate gloom of unforgiven erotica And The Poems who make you tremble as a luscious cream on the top of Thou Vicious Beauty fenderstrater jaguars silent roar

Pig Latin Man, Anmay
It's a beautiful day,birds singing as I'm walking Mill Lane, listening to a few Me Fein Refrains, I'm whistling,feeling pretty fine and dandy, with my eyes red rovering all the eye candy, when I hear it,brakes shriekin'-women Shriekin', a mans voice-Hoarse, "Jaysus Someone do somethin", I spin on me heel,eyes centred as **** wishing this was all a dream-A runaway Truck, tires peelin' brakes smokin' rubber burnin', A runaway load,it's not gonna make the turn and it's **THEN that I feel true terror in me soul, I see a little boy playin' at the edge of the road** , he's a sturdy little lad,stick in hand, pokin' at the grasses growin' up from the path, and he's right in the Path of the Truck from hell, Theres no decision,I'm runnin' like a bat outta hell, and it's then that I get a feeling it's a Lucid dream, languidity covers me,no more screams, theres a Figure in my way that's wasn't there the last breath, then I'm literally starin' in the face of Death... and I FEEL his thoughts as he turns blank Orbits, on me and his words are like this "One Obit, uary in my Ferry is my Task today, do you really want to be the one who gets in MY WAY?(way way way), and he can HEAR my thoughts,just as I heard his, "get out the fuckin' way you long streak of **** "you said one has to go,well that's fine with me!", "I've got coins in my pocket if you need your fee!" and with a glint in his eye and a plangent refrain, he touches me centre forehead and declaims "NO PAIN" Then things speed up and I'm off fists pumpin', feet slappin' on the pavement head down, heart jumpin, I'm not the Flash,but I can move it when I need to Run, and the long drawn screech is a Hell of a starters Gun, I'm across the road like a bolt from the blue, grab the little Man and throw him,then BANG there I flew, its all earth,sky,earth,then a terrible jolt, but no pain as was promised as I come to a halt, then his Mother is there(he's on her hip) and she's holding my(only)hand, tellin' me theres ambulances and I'm gonna be grand, but theres a Grand Piano layin' on my Chest, and no pain,but to be honest here-I'm not at my best, and just as I start to think of family and friends, before Distress can manifest too much in my mind, a tall RATHER BONY figure stretches out his hand, and intones into me bones,"OFF TO THE NEXT LAND(land,land,land)"

It's a beautiful day,birds singing as I'm walking Mill Lane, listening to a few Me Fein Refrains, I'm whistling,feeling pretty fine and dandy, with my eyes red rovering all the eye candy, when I hear it,brakes shriekin'-women Shriekin', a mans voice-Hoarse, "Jaysus Someone do somethin", I spin on me heel,eyes centred as **** wishing this was all a dream-A runaway Truck, tires peelin' brakes smokin' rubber burnin', A runaway load,it's not gonna make the turn and it's **THEN that I feel true terror in me soul, I see a little boy playin' at the edge of the road** , he's a sturdy little lad,stick in hand, pokin' at the grasses growin' up from the path, and he's right in the Path of the Truck from hell, Theres no decision,I'm runnin' like a bat outta hell, and it's then that I get a feeling it's a Lucid dream, languidity covers me,no more screams, theres a Figure in my way that's wasn't there the last breath, then I'm literally starin' in the face of Death... and I FEEL his thoughts as he turns blank Orbits, on me and his words are like this "One Obit, uary in my Ferry is my Task today, do you really want to be the one who gets in MY WAY?(way way way), and he can HEAR my thoughts,just as I heard his, "get out the fuckin' way you long streak of **** "you said one has to go,well that's fine with me!", "I've got coins in my pocket if you need your fee!" and with a glint in his eye and a plangent refrain, he touches me centre forehead and declaims "NO PAIN" Then things speed up and I'm off fists pumpin', feet slappin' on the pavement head down, heart jumpin, I'm not the Flash,but I can move it when I need to Run, and the long drawn screech is a Hell of a starters Gun, I'm across the road like a bolt from the blue, grab the little Man and throw him,then BANG there I flew, its all earth,sky,earth,then a terrible jolt, but no pain as was promised as I come to a halt, then his Mother is there(he's on her hip) and she's holding my(only)hand, tellin' me theres ambulances and I'm gonna be grand, but theres a Grand Piano layin' on my Chest, and no pain,but to be honest here-I'm not at my best, and just as I start to think of family and friends, before Distress can manifest too much in my mind, a tall RATHER BONY figure stretches out his hand, and intones into me bones,"OFF TO THE NEXT LAND(land,land,land)"

You mad genius, Hep cat with the small change jinglin’ in your pocket and razorblade at your throat Jagged gravel voice crooning love songs about the Apocalypse and the gritty city streets Crazy angel talking to God and dealing with the devil; raconteur to both Dig that broken glass cry deep down inside rising out of your ragged mouth Piano playing jazz, muddy beatbox boomin’, guitar wailin’ in the back alley Car alarms and the thump thrump thump of the bass, city life and high nights Crank up the noise and blow that sax, got Ol’ Scratch on your back and death hitchin’ a ride Ya gotta keep the fire burnin’ ‘til the snake oil salesman slither on home to his whiskey bottle Lyin’ with your dreams on, just keep playing that late night street corner diner song ‘til I’m gone ‘Til I’m dead, far, and gone

Ode To Tom Waits
I was walking down Graham Ave (Or up, if your an optimist) When I spotted a side walk sale My eyes darted Records "I want to go to there" Without thinking or blinking Drawn in like a tractor beam I sifted through the pile of wax My nostrils flared From the **** Covered in dust Embedded in age Music at its greatest stage The woman having the sale said, "The records are $2, no holler" "$2 is better than $3, Especially for a broke ******* like me" So I snagged some Miles Davis & Dinah Washington Then I looked up, Read the light of the Goodyear Blimp And it read "Shelby Hemstock's a **** You know what kind of day it was Guess I was going up Graham after all

Burnin' Shoe Leather, Extra Miles
Only a week and three days till I get paid and the fridge light will have something to shine on, the acid in my stomach will have something to digest, the knives in the drawers will come alive while the stove flame will be burnin' bright heating the single pan, these are the thoughts of a hungry man

Fridge Blues
Steady into the night: Grippin but no set trippin, Grippin but i aint whippin, Limpin cuz its straight survival, Graduated good but awaiting My survival, Arrival; Poet of the nocturnal, 3rd degree burnin eternal, Inferno fire of this life, Made out the suffering Now fighting for my life, Strife on the daily, Killin expectations thats why They straight hate me, Fate me, destiny on the bubble Finding out life bringing More struggle, Trouble in deeper to the heart Bringing out the gangster And in the end Im back here at The start.
