Michael L Dec 2015
A* live to every push and shove
B reathing each and every toxin
C aring not for those awake
D ead to insults from mankind
E lecting to run and hide
F rigid walls are formed
G uiding us to isolation
H umanity smells of lies
I nstinct guards our very souls
J ustice no longer exists
K indly acts evaporated
L iving in this city
M anages to make me numb
N early every feeling gone
O nly existing to revenge
P eople who have harmed me
Q uiet forever alludes
R ansacked dreams haunt me
S treaming lights and screams
T ake hold of my mind
U pon these crowded streets
V iolence becomes a way of life
W here can I go to die
X enophobic people in large numbers
Y oung and old alike
Z ero chance that I'll survive
life is hard in the city
Sometimes Starr May 2018
A Rolex s'lecting heads
to roll
Don't you know he's just
Father time, and
Mother soul
Confounded codes
And Quantum foam

A froth that you think,
It could mean anything
And it can
But here are the rules
And
In elementary school
You were taught
Long from tight,
Learned to use a tool.

Here comes the purple people eater
Here comes you, either appetizing
Or purple
