the banners are blowing steady (fully extended in the hot august wind) contemporary in style tightly trimmed and all gloriously dressed in the latest colors and hues it’s a fleeting distraction though as the caskets and children and grieving widows are rolled steadily across the burning tarmac it’s the beginning of that inevitable two part proceeding a skotoma for the ages delusionary in nature rich in grays and eerily reminiscent of that foreign reign clipped in silence with dark roots of fear set deep in the bowels of a chapter of unimaginable sin indifference as pronounced as the accompanying salutes haphazard sentiments that are cloaked in the horror of endless aborted days forgotten buggies and bunkers and rat packs *how could the switch be set so wrong?* it’s truly an illusion (this way of the world) simple indulgence can grow so beastly and consuming try telling the tale to the tibetan monks or broad peak sherpas (those boys know how to get it done!) how to bask in the ice cold waters how to savor the lava hot falls *couldn’t the others have figured this one out?* the flags have settled at half mass and are tinted in a charred yellow brown the lifeless dreams and inspirations now in the rear view leif running solo (exempt of his trusted gunners) ready for the numbered lines his eyes open to the ever changing enemy at hand

bring the boys back home
Humans are demons to creatures With whom we inhabit the land. And the sea of course, We destroy their life source, No one is exempt from the wrath of man. How does it feel to be a monster? A plague on this fragile earth? That can't support our greed Or our irrelevant needs. Who are we to judge an animal's worth? To look into an animal's eyes And say our actions are justified Requires more denial Than is my style. I can't support the way they died. We treat animals like commodities. Use them for food, sport, game. It isn't quite right To crush them with our might. The way we treat them is a shame. So when you ask me Why I choose this life Maybe you'll see Animals should be free From the human inflicted strife.

All but Death, can be Adjusted
Tell me, please, what makes you think I’m not capable of loving you. What makes you think that I’ve never fallen in love with boys who had nightmares so horrible that they wouldn’t sleep for days upon days and boys who hallucinated six crows always circling above my eyes. Let’s not forget the boy who cringed and cried when I touched him, because of where his father’s hands wandered when he was only five years old. Tell me, please, why I don’t know how to love people who are easy to love, or why you think that you are some drastic case of sorrow, survivor’s guilt, and enough anxiety and depression to bury the world - you are not. I’ve loved people who had laid themselves in deeper graves than you. Believe me, there is enough scar tissue around my heart to handle loving every single part of you. Darling, you are not exempt from love.

you're insulting my strength, i'm immune to you, pt. 2
you say i trust to equal those in the past whom have brought only pain and hatred upon those in their wake? well it's time to take a look in the mirror my friend, no, wait, don't do that, i wouldn't want to inflate your ego it would come as no surprise to me if in that mirror you would only see the eighth wonder of the world, ever wondered if you could see the world? i take that back, there is no sense in snapping and losing my temper, but all i'm doing is back tracking and finding my self exempt of the respect that i deserve, only you can serve to notice the pain that you have harboured upon the empty hearts of which now yearn for that ever self-loving and i can only leave you with this advice turn around and back off that ain't love it's idolatry.

Ego
Chronic, demonic, eccentric, magic, poetic, tragic! Dreams it seems of comical or unusual! Visual sights of many sites! Plenty fights, heights, nights, plights and lights! Dreams it seems of chimes, crime, gleams and grime. Moonbeams, rhymes, screams and times. Dreams it seems as they attempt to tempt with contempt! Some become exempt and unkempt! Dreams it seems of afros, arrows, buffalos, rainbows and sparrows! Ample, purple-apples hung from chapels! Dreams it seems of hurdles and simple people as pimples jumping from steeples! Dreams it seems of the begotten, forgotten and rotten. Dreams and themes of cotton candy clouds! Crowds in shrouds! Dreams it seems of the dandy and handy! Glories and gory stories of the holy or unholy. Dreams it seems of crud and mud! The loud and proud! The vowed and wowed! Dreams it seems of blood and floods! Dreams it seems of amazing, crazing and gazing! I’m phrasing; “Is this a dream a scheme or hell?” Well I couldn’t tell! As I began to scream and yell! Those streams of dreams that I dream… Dreams that I may, these dreams that I say. Dreams it seems in dreamy dismay.

POEM ENTITLED: “DREAMS IT SEEMS”
...And then I claimed hell and embedded my soul in mercury Spun in cotton candy. Sweet and dandy. Honey of kindness is what I usually am.         Glazed with a temper of redness and lust         With reckless catapults of whimsical feathered *****          In carefully-woven baskets          Bombarding blanks with loud bangs.          And an identity which took years to make,          I'm a bi-tempered soul of icy / lava flow. Wanting, needing, consuming life... Give me flattery and attention! I was exempt from life's detention! I was spoiled by the caring hearts of my DNA angels!             Rage first, I protest.        Regrets later, I detest.        I'm a clusterfuck of mixed intentions.        Real words don't spill much beyond fire lake.

History is written by winners Their story's the one that is told The loser's are like dust in a zephyr Blown away by the wind and the cold A battle is waged on a hillside The armies are dressed in chain mail One side is left battered and dying So...which side will write down the tale? A submarine sinks in the channel It's just off the Dover coast shore No one survives but the story of sailors we'll here from no more Villages destroyed by a virus It spreads through the town really quick You know that the story gets written By the survivors who didn't get sick Pompeii was wiped out, that's a given A volcano did wipe out the town The people were burned to a cinder So who writes, when there's no one around? In the movies the cowboys and Injuns All fight for control of the fort Do the Indians spread tales of their losses Do they write it all down just for sport? As years changed the stories came forward Of the armies and people who died They were defending their loved ones and country It's too bad they were on the wrong side. As time lumbered on to the future The winners were not just the ones Who told what had happened that day They were not just the ones with the guns Bystanders came and told what they saw This would change how stories were told There was now a new player with stories to tell And the winners did not look so bold Things now were written that no one did know Of the other sides battle attempts They were not heroes or winners but, losers no more For these writings now made them exempt They spoke of their battles, their loyalty, grit To stand strong and fight for their lives Even though it was futile, they still thought they would win Thinking only of children and wives Now history is written as quick as it comes Television has surely changed that You can watch things at home on your big screen tv And you can feel like you're where things are at. Deception is gone and the truth now is told In seconds, not years like before You see things as they happen, and the final result May shake your soul to your core. So....now History is written by winners and by losers as well just the same And no matter, whatever the story You now know all players by name. Regardless of whatever the story Be it ****** or sports,  games or war We can now see just how each one has ended And their honor, and that's what life is for...

Violin strings Sing The story of my life Unlike the blues They play off Mahogany Often, we Look down at our past Overlooking The good quality Times And all Why reminisce Situations exempt Of bliss Sit in Situations Awaiting The arrival Of my rival Archenemy Has characteristics Found in me We Are a story Plotted With convictions Because of Our connection: Conflict My mistakes Stay with me As long As I let them “Forget regret It only begets upset” I can’t remember Where I came from I only remember The trips, Falls, And bumps Into the walls I can recall The long hallway I wanted to take But Afraid I turned away What lied at the end I’ll never know Death to those Who don’t find out! Too late I’m dead And the violin sings… Inside There’s not much moving No motion Promoting me Deeper into depression Deprived Of the one thing promised In life Life Lied to me The night I tried To live With what I lost Couldn’t cope Lost hope And the scope of issues Wrapped Around my throat As a rope I fought Long and hard To discard These Strings of destiny But the violin sings… Louder Than I can cry It plays Longer Than eye’s can cry Laughter Lays at the end Of the room Smiling In my face I look The other way And stay stuck In the past Beautiful music Tries to change The ugly mood But Happiness It doesn’t bring It just happens To have a melody Loaded With songs to sing My body Stays motionless And Only my hands Will ever dream As they move To the grooves And dance Across the strings.

Learn to recognize lies, while they stand at Their podiums, and proselytize, Like so many Sunday preachers, You can see it in their eyes, and Their shifty ****** features, though Their words seem sincere, Their subtle cues, serve as Teachers of their inner intent, so Don't forget your diligence, and Let them **** your dissent, with Empty promises and rhetoric, to Fill your head with lies about, How war is for the betterment, of Nations abroad, the sentiment Is laughable, the premise is a fraud. Cause when it all boils down, and When push comes to shove, Democracy has grass roots, it's Not imposed from above, and At the end of the day, money is The factor prime, it's the secret Justifier for this terroristic crime, First, they bombed Iraqi cities, In a trial of "Shock and Awe" That killed even more civilians, Than what 9/11 saw, and Once the cities were demolished, Halliburton then rebuilt them, and Reaped enormous profits, To the tune of 40 billion, and Among other things, in this "Just" war's spoils, were The underground oceans, Flowing full of crude oil, and We all fund these atrocities, These lies, these hypocrisies, well If you decide this ain't the type, Of thing that you can stand for, Write "exempt" on line 7, of your W-4

Remember Where Your Taxes Go...
Compounded complexity flexible freedom. This world we live in... hold your tongue let me speak let me creep on our country's beliefs. Ideologies invented by power, to tell us when to cower, when to talk how to walk. I have a mouth I refuse to shut My words can be daggers confident in consequence, and hence, I write these rhymes to challenge your mind. Look at your empty beliefs in policies with no relief. They seize your right to fight, stand up and be proud of who you've become. Who are they to judge when they smudge equality and slash justice, twist the meaning. The poor stay poor the rich get richer. Kids grow up in the gutters and the government mutters, "we tried our best, done all we can." When the money is spent in genocide of those on "the other side" unaware civilians mass ****** is our forte across the ocean or in our streets, But you aren't exempt, blame yourself, stand up and scream. I want to put the fight in your eyes, take off your mask of false certainties. You think you know how this world works instead you should step back and see what you're worth.

Speak Up
What drives men to do such terrible things? Am I exempt from such a judgment? From chaos given and innocence stolen This world is hellbent On suffering, One writes to be left On misery one night is enough On loneliness Oh, how I greet it With open palms raised to the sky Tonight is a fine night to die My belly full of pills Only prescribed By men and women Garnished in white Oh, this will help me sleep with kings and counselors For if you look too long, bloodshot eyes, The abyss will grab you from your home Ode to joy Hallowed be thy name My eyes burn as I grip this pencil And an odd smell lingers in this room The smell of sterilization. The smell of cleanliness. The smell of godliness. It's far too white here It's far too bright, I fear I fear for these students Fellow and brave Taking this test While I'm painting my cave My cave is solitude and I have picked it out from it's mountain Rocks fell soon thereafter Now I cannot leave This was my choice But I have one regret I wish I could have stood still and been crushed to my death Much like Giles Corey I am a sinner More weight, he cried out From his pressing board And much like me, his please were ignored What drives man to do such terrible things? Passion, my friend The same passion for which I sing

Et Lumiere, or The Light That Burns Inside
How am I to take care of you, Take care of us, When you live life in such a rush. I can't fix myself and your addiction, It just adds on to my affliction. And I'm the only one who cares. The only one who stares Truth in the face. I'm done putting your desires in place. Tonight you looked me in the eye, And told me to accept some lie, To listen to your sad escape, And expect me to accept this fate. I am dying in your sad attempt To forget your weakness and leave you exempt, From consequence. And I'm expected to love you. Expected to just trudge through This mess. I'm so angry I could just explode, Concern myself with how you erode And let yourself burst up into flame. While I stand still alone to blame. This is why I cannot leave, Alone and lost, left to believe This garbage you call love and honesty. In death I find my truth and peace, I can't erase this life I lease. But I'm **** near cause and effect, This cause your pain, deflect The rest. I would but nought to die before This life you let fly and to soar, To my defeat and this weak roar. I'll **** myself to flee the poor And sick excuse you call a lie, Into those clouds I wish to fly. You're selfish. My anguish. I'd bring to death those you call trust And sacrifice this pathetic lust. In the corner of the bathroom stall, Fighting this fight against your brick wall. You told me to accept who you are, But this young man is far too far From who I once loved and believed. I'm done being beaten and deceived. I would **** for you. This truth may be the only brew I'll let you have again.

She faded into the oblivious shadows of night, The mardi-gras converted from dawn to daylight. Where she danced elegantly in ballroom raves She etched her body to the rhythm flowing in waves. Her hunger was lustful in her eternally gazing eyes, She kept her secrets beneath beauty's seductive gaze, But when heart beats drowned out the soulful harmony Penetrating eyes hummed on gullible  minds uncertainty. Her burgundy lips etched on life's needing of lustful kisses, Eager thoughts on this chardonnay on lips it glistened. Drained off needing, she rested them peacefully in death Never noticing until departed that they are exempt of breath. Invigorated she released the energy of life on the dancefloor Day descended into nights embrace, so she left out the backdoor, Upon the streets she smiled at the masks hiding her secrets When an invite did fall in to her hands, her next feed on a leaflet.

bestfriends aren't exempt.
Proud word you never spoke, but you will speak Four not exempt from pride some future day. Resting on one white hand a warm wet cheek, Over my open volume you will say, 'This man loved me'--then rise and trip away.

Proud Word You Never Spoke
You think ‘cause I live in A pretty house I don’t feel pain and haven’t felt things that leave scars? There’s more than my happy smile that meets your eye. Been told “I wish I aborted you”, seen her convulse on the kitchen floor. Caught her with men, caught her with women, and watched her walk away without regrets. I’ve been lied to, manipulated, and abandoned. So don’t cry to me and tell me you wish you had my life. You don’t know me. I’m not exempt.

You Don't Know Me
I get lost in... Hidden ideas and deeper meanings to what I'm feeling. Looking for something real to believe in. Over-thinking usto...start me drinking... But I kicked that ***** to the curb and built myself a bandwagon. That **** was poison, see... I had to let myself help me. Now when I close my eyes... All I can hear is the... Rattle-rattle-click, rattle-rattle-click... The sound of round rotations, rolling over bricks. Measured like a metronome... Water droplets echo as they drip. But if freedom is defined by the thoughts in my own my mind, then I'm frozen in the timeframe of tomorrow, never-yesteryear. And I'm still a revolutionary, I expect the best in Here(point to heart). And by that, I mean exempt from holding contempt for another mass of energy. Another open ear. Another open mind. Another heavenly body. Another mystical meteor shower. Another alien species placed on this planet by a "higher power". But who am I to point fingers? To point out flaws. To point out fraudulence. To pinpoint the factors that built your facade. To pick through your red brick fictons of how you think I should be perceiving god. See...I get lost. In a magic land... With a tragic hand. A tear in time and space... A human definition of race... One we so often judge with a 2 sided face.

I get lost.
It's impossible to know a person Really, truly know them Until you have a conversation at 2AM Right before you fall asleep The most human you can be, There's no wrong or right Just words filling the silence Let me see your insecurities, Your dreams, Tell me things about you That I wouldn't know Remind me I'm not the only person With problems and that No one's exempt from suffering I want to hear it all Your heart and mind There's no better time For a lobotomy No better time To not be alone I'm glad we got to philosophize Because you don't really, truly Know someone Until you converse at 2AM And it was a pleasure to meet 2AM you

2AM You
We live in a world of talkers, Of shouters, of debaters, of know it alls. Listening is a long extinct creature, Unheard of by a species that has devolved to simply wait their turn to talk. Conversations no longer flow like rivers, Instead they are puddles: Started, then abandoned to become bone dry. We live in a world of talkers, All raising their volume to be heard, Shouting that their opinions are fact. No being is exempt from the epidemic, The infectious itch to crank the volume dial right And scream that the other talkers are wrong. We live in a world of talkers, Of screamers, of bigots, of smart alecs In a universe not made for this noise. The voices get louder, the status updates get longer, the protests get deadlier. We live in a world of talkers And soon we will live in a world of mutes.

We Live In A World Of Talkers
I’m going to Republican heaven, Going to meet Republican Jesus After I pay off my school loans Whenever my banker pleases To let me out of the contract With its usurious interest fees And I am sure I will get there When I am down on my knees. I’ll have my Republican Bible With its verses edited wisely To exempt all the white folk From behaving quite nicely And making sure welfare Is only for rich white neighbors The rest are not allowed in Our society except as laborers. I am sure that Republican Jesus Will welcome me quite warmly For supporting the death toll Of our Christian Soldier army. He will be so delighted that We vilified ungodly abortions And how we treated those awful Poor mothers and their orphans. He will have to be delighted That we held back the riches We gained from our warfare Ignoring our soldiers in ditches Or maimed in those battles We know you wanted us to wage In the name of Republican Jesus Out of our holy sense of rage. Republican Jesus surely will See how cleverly we diverted The money to the richest people Not the soldiers we deserted. And, how only the people who Did not need help financially Got all the extra wealth we had And we made sure of it annually. I’m going to Republican heaven, Going to meet Republican Jesus And I’m sure greed and bigotry Will just tickle him to pieces Because it says in the Bible The only people who will get in Are the people that look like me And vote for all the same men.

REPUBLICAN HEAVEN
"They say I shouldn't use my phone Because it's unsecure. Anyone who tells me that Is full of cow manure. This talk about encryption-- That's a lot of bunk. The thought of them taking my phone Puts me in a funk. "Some in my administration Say that they foresee Trouble if foreign spies are really Listening to me. Advisers fear that I might share Secrets, but I say, That's not easy 'cause I don't under- Stand them anyway. "How I love my cell phone Because I love to tweet! If they confiscated my phone, I'd feel incomplete. Having all my contacts in my Cell phone really rocks. I can get advice from all my People down at Fox. "I don't want my calls logged. It really takes some ***** For my Chief of Staff to want to Monitor my calls. That's why I prefer to use My private phone instead. Who would even want to try To get inside my head? "Oh, Hillary's private server? That's a different story. Everything she does is in A different category. From rules that govern others I feel I'm exempt. That has never made my fans Regard me with contempt. "So they can't take my iPhone. That would not be nice. They say, 'Donald, it's a perfect Location tracking device. Spies collect your data And know each confidant.' I say, I'm the president, And I'll do what I want!" -by Bob B (10-26-18)
