the niggly nasty narcissist
who keeps you off the road insists- to stay in all your thoughts he sits and strips your magical mind to bits with all his games and all his grifts a punch a preach consider the junk he's ******* sift, mist or haze
send him away
cause your wisdom yo its better than this,
so think - the ways to rip this spit
im a free man now
peel the author away from this
blow your mind !
just to see the way that i can outline this
and keep myself a verse afar from all your ****

I live conflicted
between the life I'm gifted
and fault lines that have shifted
under my feet
for a dream delete
under the concrete
mob elite.

The grass isn't green and ****
I stand here beetle bit
I can't seem to sift
through the needless rifts
brought by greedy grifts
and seedy spit
on our supply side cliff.

I stand out of the range
of the morally deranged
which is how they arrange
my inability to effect change
which puts me down in the count
and down on the scoreboard
so I can't purchase a mount
to start moving forward.

I'm the disease and the antidote
I'm the hunter and the antelope
water rushing through the dam I broke
flooding the land of hope
with my brand of nope
down a tantrum *****.

There's a cynical patter in town
saying it doesn't matter if I drown
or if I burn
either way I suffocate
then put into the ground in turn
they just listen to sounds that churn
as the unbound learn
there are hounds on Earth
that scour the turf.

I sit on the sidelines
begging them to stop
but then I find I'm
cheering the beating of cops
after seeing their glocks
protecting nothing but stocks
when an uptick in mops
is what we should want.

I am the owl sitting in the tree
I am the fowl dead among the leaves
I watch the world turn from my grave
where I burn as a slave
just to return to my cave
to repeat this the next day.

Now Within Life’s Selections...
There Are Misdirections...
  
From Which You Need To Give...
Yourself... Good PROTECTION... !!!
  
Because Much That Is Said...
And Presented To Heads...
  
Is Oh YES INCORRECT... !!!
So Don’t Just Ingest...
What People Present...
As Being What’s Correct... !!!
  
So Check Who You're Sexing...
Because Misdirections...
Can Lead You To TENSIONS...
Relationship PRESSURES...
And SERIOUS STRESSING... !!!
  
I Suggest That You CHECK...
And Then DOUBLE CHECK... !!!
  
... Historical Texts...
And What People Express...
Within Their Arguments... !!!
  
From Things Like Enslavement...
To Who You Call... FRIENDS...
  
SECRET... Experiments...
  
And The News That We’re Fed...
  
Oh And DON’T You FORGET...
About Our GOVERNMENTS... !!!
  
Because Time And Again...
They Clearly MISDIRECT...
  
WHATEVER Their Sect...
Or Agendas They Set... !!!
  
From The Smallest of Things...
To The BIGGEST of Grifts...
  
... Misdirections STING... !!!!!
  
If You Do NOT THINK...
About How Things Are Linked...
  
People Say A GREAT Deal...
That Just... ISN’T Real... !!!
  
Misdirections STEAL... !!!
As Well As Conceal...
The Truth To Maintain...
Falsehoods That Remain...
That Enslave Mind States...
And Keep People Restrained...
In Ways That Cause PAIN...
And DAMAGE To Brains... !!!
  
They DENIGRATE Names...
Who Won't Go Their Way...
  
So Make People Act Strange...
And Then Shift Their Shape...
Just Like New Gender Traits... ?!?
  
These Are Just A Few Ways...
Misdirections Now Sway...
And Affect Heads TODAY... !!!
  
Misdirections Shroud...
The World With Much Doubt...
  
And Are Now Used By Mouths...
To Leave People CLOWNED...
And To Make Them FROWN...
When Things In The World...
Are Turned UPSIDE DOWN... !!!
  
Like This Need For Protection...
Against... BAD INFECTIONS... !!!
  
From This Corona Thing... ?!?
That’s Been Quickly Spreading...
  
When You Take Time To THINK...
About Where We’re Heading...
  
Aren’t We MISDIRECTED...
MORE Than We’re PROTECTED... !?!
  
By Those Now Selected...
To Choose The Direction...
That’s Best For INVESTMENT...
  
AHEAD of Collections...
of... BETTER Directives...
Than Those We've Been Getting...
  
For THOUSANDS of Years... !!!
  
From MOORS Now REVERED...
To Those Who Are JEERED...
For What They Have Cleared...
As Being... Directions...
That Lead To Ascensions...  
For Human Progression...
  
Or Is That REGRESSION... ?!?
  
This Poem Is Sending...
A VERY CLEAR Message... !!!
  
Will All This Pretension...
And MISINFORMATION...
That’s Been Spread To Nations...
Through INCORRECT Lessons... !!!
  
From Names I WON'T Mention... !!!
  
When It Comes To INJECTIONS...
And New Tech Inventions...
As Well As Investments...
Through CASHLESS Inceptions... ?!?
  
The Dangers Are ENDLESS...
  
If You Are NOT Vested...
In Keeping Your Interests...
And Health WELL PROTECTED... !!!
  
From Modern Day Spreaders...
of Things That Need CHECKING...
  
That May Be... ?!?
  
... “ MISDIRECTIONS “...
It's clear that many have been used throughout history, so this poem merely suggests that it's wise to try to avoid being deceived by one.

In the end
the line bends,
curving to collect
all we wish to inspect.

The way is not straight,
and waves of joy
may be too late
to save a perfect state
of peace.

Life may convict,
turn us to convicts
but if we live
than hopefully
we will have
the chance
to change things.

The grifts are plenty,
and grifters more,
but they came before
and though I abhor
their vile ways
they will probably
still be here after me.

You are a curiosity,
a very strange
flower to me,
blooming beautifully
with grand ideas
I hope to read.

Though some days
I may complain
and some pains
may strain my brain,

I hope I will
always try to be
a kinder,
wiser,
better,
version of me.

— The End —
