"greeds" poems
There is snow on the ground, And the valleys are cold, And a midnight profound Blackly squats o'er the wold; But a light on the hilltops half-seen hints of feastings unhallowed and old. There is death in the clouds, There is fear in the night, For the dead in their shrouds Hail the sun's turning flight. And chant wild in the woods as they dance round a Yule-altar fungous and white. To no gale of Earth's kind Sways the forest of oak, Where the thick boughs entwined By mad mistletoes choke, For these pow'rs are the pow'rs of the dark, from the graves of the lost Druid-folk. And mayst thou to such deeds Be an abbot and priest, Singing cannibal greeds At each devil-wrought feast, And to all the incredulous world shewing dimly the sign of the beast.

Festival
Out  in dusk,in the sunset The flakes invisible go The wind goes on As fast as the star slows Out in dusk,in the sunset The cold greeds you Needs your comfort Wants your warm instead Out in dusk,in the sunset The Moon ,your soul dances Behind the sun,beneath your smile Out in dusk,in the sunset Dark and light,in a spot they meet Makes you jealous,away a spark Hides your breath,above twilight Out in dusk,in the sunset!

Out in dusk,in sunset!
Whatever happened to the happiness, from all those early childhood days. Where laughter. joy and sunshine, filled all of imaginations endless plays? What became of the joyous music, giving beat and harmony to the world. When dream and hope could exist, and all possibilities could be unfurled? When did all this darkness fall, to lay shadow so dark upon the lands, as a dense foreboding that has been summoned by greeds unsated demands? When did dream and hope become, just mere folly and wasted thought. What happened to the morals and the ethics, that as kids we valued and were taught? When and where did all this go, for everywhere I look such is just not there. All has been replaced by a selfish world of greed, hatred and down-trodden despair. I know that in the course of time, I am meant to see an old man's view. But what worth and value of a world, where hate and lies are sold as true? Death and hatred fill this world, in every rank corner that I see, and in silent, desperate fear I wonder, why we stood-by and let it come to be?

Something Went Wrong
Beyond this time and place Reviewing epochs past We will recall this phase As just a stumbling step Toward fuller consciousness As we evaluate The values taught The goals we sought The strange pursuits We tried to mesh When men bypassed The quest for truth For greeds Of finite flesh

The height of mountains,the shine of fountains.. The parks with showers, the gardens with flowers.. The smile of a child,the noise in the wild.. The business  of milk, the fashion of silk.. The shadow of a tree,the fruits in free.. The soil is not fertile, the prayers are futile... The tractors replaced bull,the hospitals are full.. The spray on all plants, the organs have transplants.. The drift in season, the depleting woods is reason.. The survival is main, the life is in rain.. The wealth of an ocean,the ships in motion.. The fish have plea, the plastic out of sea.. The greeds of man,the lame monitoring of ban.. The conflicts of brooks, the treaties in books.. The lust of this soil, the blood on boil.. The globe with borders, the wars on orders.. The lynching for leather, the summits on weather.. The ivory is like gold,the tusks are sold.. The freedom of a bird, the eye of the third.. The world beyond sky,the rockets to fly.. The open tap in drain, the skyscrapers in vain.. The thunder is aloud, the uncertainty of cloud.. The huge rate of birth, the plight of the earth.. The crisis of starvation, the calendars for salvation.. The threats of weapon,the world war can happen.. The dark fumes in air, the need of care.. The melting of glacier, the authorities are lazier.. The havoc of disaster, the nature is still master.. The disappearance of sparrow, the mind in still narrow.. The nature can bind,the  threat on man kind..

Nature and we
A whisper of questions, far twinkling light Seems like heaven's a'near with folly delight In rage, I'm running, wading through vacuums Confused emotions, all shadowy glooms No stopping now, I pant with sweat Desperate for answers, not painful regret Step three, step four, the move finds no sleep All chains and bondages, this life seem to keep Find meaning, find purpose, no reasonable doubt As mist, yes mystical, this life will head south Like winter surprise, the dew and the frost Bites eagerly at a soul so wastefully lost Why darkness, not light? This seems but a game Haunted by lies, unpurposeful shame Delight, sweet caress, how precious such needs Lost in this world of selfish and greeds Alas, a green exit, blinding light, my eyes seeing That tunnel, yes peaceful, of rest in peace being.

A Lamar Original Instead of being the Americans That none chose to remember; Let us become the America That fondly glows with splendor. No longer will we attack an America That has the smidge of craft, If we must attract the Americans Who have to bridge the gap. Great opportunity does not come, Because we inhabit America; Great opportunity does so come, Because America inhabits us. America, This is the land of the free, And we must prosper as one, If we wish to continue to be… In America, The land of the free. Instead of bringing forth an America That rejects all faces; We will bring forth Americans That respect all races. No longer will we charter an America That greeds all day with favor, If we must harbor the Americans That bleed all day from labor. For it is not how we live in this country That determines the fate of our lifetime, But it is so how we live in this lifetime Which determines the fate of our country. America, This is the land of the free And we must prosper as one, If we wish to continue to be… In America, The land of the free.

Land of the Free
Instead of a light read This is more of a late read A wipe the slate read New needs and different greeds We're meant to meet when leaves sheath I think about the time speed or time spent amongst wasting It's trash green, slime I bleed Blood spilt while red lights gleam High beams and tear streams The skull seam A conscious stream of unconscious scenes A habitual response to television screens Thought patterns of your name seem un-welcomed sit-ins for the brain team It's a game spent creating a world for the changing A gut for the taking and a heart for the breaking I'd **** for a day dream ****** for a breath taking Leave town for a quiet waking that'd fulfill the craving for the warmth of your body on my back claiming to know something without wasting love something without hasting and trust something without caving Inject into my blood stream the heroine of your daily raining DDD (11/5/2013)

destruction topples creation as close bonds split, alliances rekindle desperations, individual greeds dismantle agreements, darkness defeats lightness, boundless shackles frees death, ending life life, ending death, frees shackles, boundless lightness defeats darkness, agreements dismantle greeds, individual desperations rekindle alliances, split bonds close as creation topples destruction.

Cycles
It is an unconventional truth It starts and it roots You start the engine right You gear the stem in sight You step on it faster It runs more like a master When it is time it over takes Its a chance it loves to take Just try to step on the right It slows down with all its might Drinks of the earth it drinks Empities it with a blink It greeds over it more Can you handle it like before It runs in the count of miles Starts eating the green inside It donates a lot of stuff Believe me you do not want it bluff It slowly taking over Planning to become a ruler Multiplying more than our race Becoming the faith of the earths face Lets take our control now Save the world before its down Lets see the beautiful skies blue Before they bid adieu.

The Running Motor
Floating around a magic land Our world, idealised and fantastical Unrealistic reality Of which we are fanatical ly- Craving the glow that warms our greeds That electronic heart pulse That life that can be sliced apart Rearranged and made false The smiles overshadowing empty eyes The hands on the hips make slim The figure of this silhouette And the figure that lurks within Pixels of a true smile evaporated from this world Verify? Verifying... Delete.

Mother was my lover No one could ***** me For she was first Her darkest thirst I could never quench But how I tried But I never lie For she would punish me and my bad ways She'd take away the sun, I'd live without days And the night would speak to me Quiet whispers, from a face I'd never see Telling me evil deeds Telling me evil greeds (Planting that evil seed) Mother was my lover Not a hand by hers Could touch my skin No lips but hers Could breathe such sin But who am I to protest I am but a guest Under her roof provided Her love and lust divided Leaving me to her compulsive will (Leaving me alone, to wish her **** Mother was my lover Who I could only hate Single digit age and ***** Never knowing the right from wrong Never knowing how long, The nights did last In the heat and sweat Where I be played victim These nights I wish to forget While her eyes, never see regret Mother was my lover I, she gave birth to I, she made 'love' to Always told it was for me to do Diluted into believe this was true But with an whispered doubt I began to fall, without a shout I would never land Never fully understand The way she placed her hand on me The way her eyes would see and perceive Her only child Always calm and mild But when the sun set, her demons woke She'd take me, and I'd silently choke Losing my grip on my mind Leaving me empty and blind (Searching out blood, I'd soon find) Mother was my lover She touched me soft, she hit me hard Over time, she touched me into broken shards I fought between, what I knew And the their voices lewd That spoke from a face never seen That spoke with a voice so pristine I could not help but listen, and obey But what do I do, when it goes against, What mother says... Mother was my lover Who never loved me at all She picked me up to let me fall And I could never stop My quick decent Until it stopped, she voice That I resent And I was told Her words need air With her hands unfair If she couldn't breathe Then her will would leave And I wouldn't have to play anymore Mother was my lover Who I had to **** Mother was the lover Sporting evil will I was told, by a voice I must obey That I must take away all her days I went into her room Darkest of the night And took away, Her regretless sight She woke wide-eyed I spoke not a lie And said it's time to die Mother who I hate She took the knife, deep into her chest And I drank in all her blood A taste I had to test.

Nothing burns brighter than a greedy heart Wrought with pleasures and fueled with pride As if self destruction was what he sought The flames eating, crackling away A mind contorted, flash frozen in pure gold Permanently holding his thoughts, bitter cold And as his salvation begins to fade Like all his friends who've glumly turned away His dark twisted heart, now charred and burnt The ashes, the ashes, crisp and frayed And like all men his legacy dims Lost in the sands of time But those singed greeds can always remain Beneath the dirt, with the passing of seasons and years And like all men they hungrily dig Ending up desiring all the same

Greed of Time
*Laughing mockingly at Dead leaves As the thunder Rolls in Good has been lost And evil Prevails In stone hearts The unkind leads All known things into Hell Darkness greets the Ignorance Behind comatose Eyes And the mind is Victorious The world is In mourning As hope is lost The end of the world Never happens Naturally It ends prematurely At greeds Hands*

The End
My want feels like its turning to need And I know I'm giving into my hearts greed As my body slithers in the dark My weight presses into the sheets And I imagine you in my bed I feel your teeth break the skin on my neck And my blood is racing as my whole body quivers And my hearts whisper is now shouting your name And my hand is clinched fast to yours And my heart should be breaking Because it's all just a dream But my heart won't stop to reason It's relentless purusit of your heart It's wanting to know what's inside It's telling me I should no longer hide I should give into its greed It's what my life needs But all I want is to cower alone Where you'll never know How much you mean to my soul And you then can never break Or take this feeling away

Colosseum Image
The race to the top of silver rain mountain, it's on the way down to the rivers of riches, headed out west on golden threaded miles, through the trees of greeds green ghosts, in valleys of gilded breaths and golden hushes, merchants, muses blow on as paper winds, stay a while on beggars promises, all to collect their coin of dreams.

Journey to The Hollows
Round the circle we all sit As a group reciting **** Again just like the night before Channelling hyena packs The night alive with stoner's laughs Double double Puff and pass Hold your breath until it laps Heavy hits from bottle bongs Sat beatboxing old school songs Passing round fermented potions Childish jokes and puerile motions Double double Puff and pass Hold your breath until it laps Drifting off in ones and two Mushrooms picked and set to brew Mellow greens in china skin Heady smoke smell covers sins Double double Puff and pass Hold your breath until it laps Acid tabs as foreheads sag Hard liquor hits to beat the flag Coke on mirrors razored fine Crushed up E laid out in lines Prolonged highs that last for hours Bumps from Yale keys full of powders Endorphins drop so fuel the need Satisfying primal greeds Double double, double stuff These papers tight and start the tuck Roll it up and stick it down Set alight and pass it round And by the burning in my lungs Something potent this way comes.

World is Mine
What do we know of life and death ands time and love when all we truly have is this moment how does tomorrow ever become today and what happened yesterday ten years ago is no closer or farther away than the last syllable echoing in our heads so what is time other than an illusion and a thief and a liar do we breath in just to exhale or is there something more important to the function of our lungs is there something more than oxygen we need floating in the air something that is as easy and important to give as it is to take and receive Is the secret to this life we so often abuse and neglect... is the meaning to it all so simple that it is so horribly cliché And with what great arrogance we let our egos crown ourselves intelligent and place more worth on our wants and greeds than any other living thing and then like a vicious virus spread like a plague and destroy anything that is in our way we are smart enough to see the end coming but somehow lack the wisdom and courage to change our ways out with the good double down on the bad So what do we know of life and death and time and love as we long for immortality in our deaths some existential heaven of an afterlife a divine blessing of unending love yet waste this moment waiting for tomorrow to become today

waiting for tomorrow
You see, I write but no one listens And it’s hard In a world where so many do. So many express. Depress. Not because they feel the world needs to understand them Not because they throw a blanket of empathy around them Not because the real world doesn’t appreciate their detail But because it’s all a get rich quick scheme. A sale. But I don’t care for nepotism. I don’t care if you’re waiting for me to like your ‘quirks’. I don’t care that if I don’t you won’t like mine. Because that’s how it works. A trade. A shame. Someone always ‘sacrificing’ by being the first in the game of it But that’s not a sacrifice The sacrifice is not caring. Liking something because you like it Living life because that’s what you want to do with it Freely sharing Being a good person for no benefit. Not out of fear that others won’t give you what you need. Not out of fear it won’t let you be what you want to be. Happiness is not found in the wants or greeds of others But in listening to your own heart And knowing Deep down What you do for you is all that matters. Then when you’re loved by people for your truth There is nothing better. So be a good person Listen to this work Like it Please Because if you don’t I doubt I’ll like yours

Like My Life
Looking, at life through fickle eyes. Questioning, everything. Life! Happens, as a daily occurrence. This, as true as a sunrise aver constant. We soldier on daily in the ever-expanding universe. Yet our true nature, Oh! Our true nature, is to find a single constant. The universe expands daily, daily! Yet, we look for the most simplistic solution. The most mundane of mundane existences. Staying constant, God! The boredom one must feel to be so drab. So, like that of the true design, of wars past lost or won. We are now being willingly controlled. I false freedom if you must,  equivalent! to that of a caged bird. Ooooh! The injustice, and looking at the world as it passes by, pointing at our sqaured little lives, mesmerizing us with images of splendor, escalating false feelings of happiness, all that we may stay content. Within the boundaries of these restrictive, fences surrounding this so called freedom. Alas! This! I fear is our fate, We cannot change this, as it set in time, Each fault, flaw and historical injustice, brought upon this world by greeds, greedy greed for power. We, .... give in, we march on like good little soldiers, looking for their slice of what's left of the pie.
