You’re a poisoned rose in a wedding band, A glad eye with a stabbing hand, A tumour ,vicious rumour surrounds you, BP Exxon -death abounds you, I first found you amusing and witty, cutting remarks a stick with both ends ****** Gutter scumbag with a glaze of charm, Only interested in doing harm, A sociopath with a crocodile smile, always had the last laugh,- real fight? Run a mile, Backstabber Judas priest,but **** was I deceived, Each Lie you sold I truly believed. I stood by you ,defended you til the bitter end, Bitter irony I know,with you as a friend, Who the **** needs enemies, its all a front, An affront to my instincts,get out of my life you **** chorus "My toxic friend this is the end get out of my life for good, Every time you smile a child dies you’re up to no good, Don’t call me-text me unfriend me before you end me, You’re the epitome of the new word-Frenemy." Now I hear you’re spreading rumours behind my back, Bad move,wrong play better stand back, Your malicious manouevery no longer stands, I’m two steps ahead your end is planned. You better watch your back,you’ve got no back up and no spine, Juggling hedgehog maze lies through a field of land mines, I’ve got my eye on you ex pal,don’t worry your time’s come, we’ll see who can outrun the .45 from a gun, That you’ve been begging for for years no tears at your end, You’re a poxy oxymoron my toxic friend. So come out to play my way and see who draws first, I guarantee you a surprise not my blood burst, Flying in the air like a hose god only knows, You’re a fly in my eye a burr under my skin so out she goes, The left that hits your jaw will saw your head from your neck You talk a good fight,good night,I’ll leave ya wrecked. chorus "My toxic friend this is the end get out of my life for good, Every time you smile an angel loses wings you’re no good, Don’t call me-text me unfriend me before you end me, You’re the epitome of the new word-Frenemy."

Trump: The Poem
Waking up one morning It's a normal kind of day Only there are bulldozers on their way It goes this way: At the end of your driveway down to the right in front of the picket fence The land is graded a horizontal drill brought in made to feel at home You see, We you me may own the land But the mineral rights are theirs A concrete utility structure goes up, in what do you think? About three weeks? Chemicals are shot horizontally under the land under the house to release the gas from the sand While the ground water is fearfully shivering it knows its days are numbered. The concrete utility chimney pouring out chemical smoke 24 hours a day. The  County says, "What do you expect us to do?" The State says ***** You " Cancer clusters Sick kids Chemical water tasting very weird Guess what? Whether it be our 89,000 189,000 or 889,000 dollar American dream home The dog is going to be taking a **** in the backyard claiming ownership. Welcome to LA too No matter where you are Every other day the earth is shaking buildings tumbling Dance Dance Dance Dots on a map thousands of them all around us coming our way. Better take a drive next time on talk radio "Drill baby Drill" All hail Exxon Cars love Shell Gasoline The old USA ******* gas And it sure ain't nitrous cars idoling on a stop and go freeway finding our true purpose a grounded oil derreck for the Koch Brothers He who pays the piper calls the tune Oh yeah Drill baby Drill I'm heading up Highway 101 The Earth hot and ***** for a new life form Welcome to the new world order Welcome to the new USA Purloined, poisoned, polluted The United Petro States of America. Hey Hey Hey

**** on my nose and question the ethereal depth of my love for Dark Matter.. the beer and the cosmic phenomenon. Ask me why you think we should love one another in the darkest prison, laughing at the ghosts, scoffing at the shadows, screaming in delight: 'depersonalized madness can't hear me now!' Your pupils are dilated with panic. Too much coffee, you addicted, raging barista-wannabe. Too much indication that the owl whooting WHO is asking, 'who?' Or making reference to the World Health Organization and the spread of Ebola across the western sub-sahara SHUT THE **** UP, OWL, I DON'T WANT TO CONSIDER WHAT ITS LIKE TO BLEED OUT THE EYES. Drifting along in life, driftwood getting paid to drift along as long as it can stay a bit past nine and help the boss close up shop. Dressing all indifferent as if black Urban Planet pants that require a lint roller are worth the $20 they charged or if the polo shirt you wear was really worth the 80 you spent recklessly when a previous boss hinted you'd breached dress code by showing up shirtless on the very first day.. you ate nothing but Mr Noodles and bruised apples for a week just to help a CEO make bonus on his margins and afford the violent takeover of Exxon Mobile. SCREECH AND SCREAM LIKE THE RAGING TINNITUS YOU TRY TO DROWN OUT WITH STRANGE SPACE MUSIC from spheric-lounge. Is depression all that bad if cipralex makes your jaw clench as if it were overdosed MDMA? Perhaps I'll feel well on Welbutrin, smell putrid, feel stupid, noticed that my love life is just another betrayal by a loopy cupid, my Lawd.

Leaning against the red brick wall, feet pressed on the cobblestones, filthy fingers holding lit cigarettes, probably bought from the Exxon around the corner. Tight, ripped jeans; worn, faded jackets; hands caked with mud and dirt, washed probably two weeks ago, maybe longer; and ashtray mouths. “Y’all want tickets, or you just gonna stand there?” I ask. A couple shake their heads, long, greasy hair swaying slightly, their faces illuminated only by cigarette glows, hidden from the city lights by hair shadow.

The Alleyway
Easy-going energy moguls at Exxon Mobil, Insidiously sip scotch in their ivory towers, They take no blame for the blame is ours, We, the worker bees, were employed to **** the soil, Little did we know it was the hallowed ground under our very own families feet, Now we look towards our homes and see nothing but ash and hell fire, Our collective youth and countless hours of precious life, Traded for false abundance and counterfeit wealth, When it all burns will you still care about your bank account?

8:55 A.M. Wednesday, December 3, 2014 Eyes dry, stagnant like a box fan in a windowless room in summer. Del Monte plastic blades—black on the serrated side—dice rotting pizza tomato trash air. Stomach like a battery acid pond. Flannel, Dockers, hair slicked tight like road signs, tossing oyster crackers to acid ducks. The sky's on fire. Clouds textured like ******* and never-ending like Escher. Jet planes carry ***** comatose patients into the sun to burn out like a light bulb a few flickers of life gone. Hands dry, faulted like missing bathroom tiles at Exxon-Mobil/ Sunoco/Shell beneath the metal sink where crabgrass sprouts from the cracks like cheap caulk from Second-Hand Hardware. Bent nails, rusted patching trowels, ants in the quick-dry drywall mix. I'll never reach Nirvana.

Mr Moon
He invades the bureau, census is terminal they say everyone died just like we wanted, mission success! like when Ali beat spinx cordial still morbid like quartered limbs delivered by horses still door nail coffins shut, dark as oil spills the grim reap creeps up to put hex on exxon, he sneezes blood then eats some sludge, freezes time, then moves on.

The Unboxed Blob Spreading Conspiracies
Cry Freedom, the Lapland It is not only Caledonia and the Flemish people who are crying freedom, a new nation has been born It stretches from Norway, Sweden and Finland. The Swedes has accepted this new state as the female activists said it would be discriminatory and racists to deny The indigenous people their right. Norway refused point blank, and as a retaliation has shut shops selling oranges and bananas. The Norwegian has seen through this ruse, if the new country called “Lapland” is a state it will lay claim to untapped oil in the Barents Sea. It is said that Exxon is behind this, me, I blame Putin.

Cry Freedom, Lapland
Awwww, man, I'm flippin', news reports got me trippin' My mind's busy racin' foot's tappin, I'm pacin' They say, and I trust, in a few decades time, That the icecaps will melt and engulf the coastlines, of New York and LA, and New Hampshire and Maine, and New Orleans will be but a massive flood plane, It's a tad bit insane and alarming to say, That it's been brought about, by our self obsessed ways, They say India just had the hottest of days, Ever seen in its history, see, it's a mystery, Why we don't act, we have limited time, and The scientists warn us, as temperatures climb, While republican senators watch and insist, It's a "liberal myth" and it doesn't exist, How I wish I could choke 'em and watch 'em turn blue, Like the color they hate! It just cannot be true, We're destroying the means for our species' survival, Proposals for action all dead on arrival, Cause Exxon and Shell simply MUST have their profits, So they buy the elections, and silence the prophets, They lobby with hundreds of millions in bribes, and Darken the futures of billions of lives, Revolt now becomes an imperative need, We must favor each other, instead of their greed, We must march in the streets, upon Capitol Hill, Or on parliament buildings, until we instill, The fear of the ones who demand something new, Because, we are the many, and they are the few.

The Weight Of Depression
The charlatans are back again With bombs to drop from ballpoint pens Jerusalem Leviathans Since lions ate the Zion movement Now Big Ben is crumbling And mumbling some skittish Yiddish To some pig anti-Semitic Who the critics just diminish as dominions of the British who still commonwealth the nations with their Exxon Mobil stations While the colonies are sick and medicated on these rations, pullin’ racist colored race cards when the kingdoms of creation are the real abominations that the oligarchs of Noah’s arks still preach to seal your fate in Coffer coffins of the status quotient tokenism banquet, stuffin’ off shore banks with patients who are drowning in malaises As the taxing burden raises for the barely makin’ raisins in the sun to have some fun go fundin’ Contras cappin’ convents full o’ nuns, don’t get it twisted sister act, I’m coming strapped with Warsaw Pact because the cops be cappin’ rappers when they packin’ artifact on all the fiction superstition Burning question abolition Voodoo economic prison cells Still selling us religions Of democracy and freedoms makin’ edens In the middle eastern promise lands Just broken dreams and neverlands Cuz no mans makes a stand or plan To ban these ku klux clan Greenspans
