"cozened" poems
Who are you to wave your finger?
Ya' must have been out your head.
Eye hole deep in muddy waters,
You practically raised the dead.
Rob the grave, to snow the cradle
then burn the evidence down.
Soapbox, house of cards and glass,
so don't go tossin' your stones all around.
You must have been high.
You must have been high.
You must have been-
Foot in mouth, and head up *******
what'cha talkin' 'bout?
Difficult to dance 'round this one
'til you pull it out, boy;
You must have been so high.
You must have been so high.
Steal, borrow, refer, save your shady inference.
kangaroo done hung the juror with the innocent.
Now you're weeping shades of cozened indigo
Got lemon juice up in your EYE!
When you ****** all over my black kettle
You must have been HIGH, HIGH
You must have been HIGH, HIGH
Who are you to wave your finger, so full of it?
Eyeballs deep in muddy waters, fuckin' hypocrite.
Liar, lawyer, mirror; show me:
What's the difference?
kangaroo done hung the guilty with the innocent.
Now you'll weep
or change the cozened indigo;
got lemon juice up in your high-eye,
when you ****** all over my black kettle
You musta been!
So who are you to wave your finger?
Who are you to wave your fatty fingers at me?
You must, have been, out your, mind!
Weepin' shades of indigo
shed without a reason
weepin' shades of indigo
Liar, lawyer, Mirror for ya,
what's the difference?
kangaroo be ******
he's guilty as the government
Now, will you weep
or, change the cozened indigo;
got lemon juice up in your, EYE!
EYE!
Now when you ****** all over my black kettle.
You musta been HIGH, HIGH, HIGH, HIGH.
Eyeballs deep in muddy waters
Your ***** deep in muddy waters;
***** p-lease!
You must have been out your
MIND!

The river of ink flows dark cozened blue,
Flowing so smoothly from a source made of true.
It carves out a path with many a turn;
O! To see how those ill waters churn.
But the river drys up as the ink feels its age
And the lies begin to fill up the page;
Steeped in sepia, fading to sight
As the river of ink drys up in the light.
So we mourn for the river that told us the truth,
For the source we knew held the fountain of youth,
And we curl up our bones in the dust of our ink
And cry for the truths that taught us to think.

A cozened rose
perforated
into bloodlines
nights ive painted.
Cold and distant
in the frail light
broken words to
my folded eyes.
Strikingly pale
to the sentence
that I bear down
in my wishes.

A badge without condition bought cheap, from a thrift store
Lies with brass medals and plastic ribbon, from uncaring hands.
A paid add on the paper floor, claps on the back from glad-hands,
Claps for marrying poor, she’s worth it, all her rotten core.
You walk with conceit, when the army stamped it’s boot,
A doctor’s note, before the sarge could break your seat.
Readies from your parent’s purse, a hand-out on the brew.
You queue for ****** on the roads in a pimped-out hearse.
Slurred words drawl from the dark, blood spit on the street,
Fistfights punctuate grammar like an exclamation mark.
You clone another you, spat from the womb cold;
A mother’s love wrapped in smoke of cozened blue.
There is no end to your ambition.

Who are you to wave your finger so full of it
High voltage in low water, what a hypocrite
Who are you to tell i'm a lier
Suffering on your inside and blaming me
You must have been outta your head
Eye hole deep in muddy waters
You practically raised the dead
Rob the grave to snow the cradle
Then burn the evidence down
Living in a glass house collecting stones
So don't go tossing your stones around
Foot in your mouth and your head up your ***
So what are you talking about
Difficult to dance around this one
Until you pull it out
Liar, lawyer, mirror, show me what's the difference
Steal, borrow, refer, to save your shady inference
Kangaroo done hung the juror with the innocent
Now you're weeping shades of cozened indigo
Got lemon juice up in your eye
When you ****** all over my black kettle
She must have been high
