"monopolize" poems
Oh beautiful for specious lies where Christless values reign; for superficial battle cries above the muted strain: Diversity, diversity God hides His face from thee— and frown he should, while planethood distracts humanity. How sad it is when victim groups monopolize the floor; enabling the marginals to agitate for more. Diversity, diversity, Your queer agenda rules— with Balkanizing tendencies imposed on witless tools. Degenerate in decadence the ailing eagle flies; in spirals of irrelevance through clouded toxic skies… Diversity, diversity the Left defines your terms; the weakened body politic grows sicker as it squirms. Oh Lord we need a miracle before the patient fails; celestial intervention please to purge us of what ails. Diversity, diversity We shall not overcome— Unless the Lord reveal His word twixt here and Kingdom Come…

Diversity Training
Her eyes danced with the tiny flames that held a secret each growing brighter when they urged to yank the oxygen from her heart and let the sparks console the deep holes bursting with pleasure She dabbles in the waves of fire and brimstone The honey dipped arms monopolize the dry neck Squeezing harder, and harder The metallic taste of rust shoves in front her teeth Her eyes beg to fall out to stop witnessing the desecration She tries not to let the secret out but her decomposed body bows down to the forensic earth Lying in her death bed she knows She tasted the burnt coals And forgot to tell Adam She won't see him in heaven.

Sinned by Honesty
CRUSHED A flower Grows gracefully among the other In a park where people discover The love they have for one another Full of thorn may the flower be Hurt the fingers that try to touch it Beauty it still to the eyes that see It made the flower a lovely misfit 300504 10.00 Along came a bee Attracted by that plant of beauty Magnetize by the sweetness of its honey Charmed by the colour that it sees Lone is the beauty for its majesty Wishing to monopolize its purity Crushed is the bee as it witness A butterfly has taste its sweetness Hopeless! 010604 11.00

monopoly
I still deny the rules and social ties of citizen spies that i televise by shouting chanted anthems into the sky yet to comply with the codes of conduct i defy as you synthesize the number and size i am careful not to compromise the lost light within my eyes my cold gaze reflective of your demise and i scrutinize them until they realize they're being penalized for the lies until maggots monopolize your corpse through your cries until pulled away by the hissing of shadowed flies that fly into the lost light in my eyes until my pupils cauterize locking you inside institutionalised and i am imprisoned in a prism of realism as anti social collisions have me pulling my soul through verbal incisions seeping radioactive emissions from the legions of religions from the season of rhyme without reason failure to pay darkened tuitions is now treason as catastrophic cataclysms lock me away in my primal visions my verbal inflictions as though holy missions to infuse friction smashing through my divided contradictions and feeding my addictions good riddance

Facade
*Winter, tricky entrapper, cozy cuddler, night fiddler nuzzler, tantalizer, whistler sharp nailed cruel lover seasonal unfailing seductress, sprawling on the bed cloth of December, rolling over a few months either side, I would never take her for granted. I see her peep through the window curtains, spying at the warm days eyeing me and waiting for her to climb down the steps; she is jealous, as she wants to linger playfully riding on my back. she seeped in to my blood stream, like the narcotic effect of grass, before I  know it happens little by little to make me forget my other loves completely even without my permission. Her wiliness is stealthily at work, to monopolize me fully separating me from others yes, winter is cleverness clad in white. Now, I am at her mercy, completely my fingers, chest and lips strangely enjoy the cold caresses, she gives each! I realize, she has taken over- my body and paints my mind's canvas, with bubbling hallucinatory white, she wants others tightly on her leash, my other loves complain: "you act just what is her will you always wear her fragrance, on you what an influence she wields!" can I help when winter my darling, brooks no excuses! She exposes me before others I look like a pusillanimous one, cowering and cringing before her none, even my true love, has such absolute control over me like she exerts, it's a secret but true that I wriggle to get out, of this white net she tenderly knitted- for my comfort, which is, pleasurable I think, to an extent, yet difficult to accept at the same time. Let us part before long, not to make our relationship much complicated, I'll wait, till the next season arrives you are in my list of periodic partners, I'll be ready with warmth in my heart, for your eventful visit, that leaves an impression far too long to ever forget.*

Twenty-one years of what exactly was I taught? I believed you two to be super heroes, or so I thought. Turned seventeen realized life's nothing but a thought. I'm thinking I'm alive, but really I'm not. I saw past materialism, chose to sin. Now I hope I can be forgiven, look into the mirror I'm afraid of my reflection. I'm not who I was. I'm not where I am. I don't know who I am. I can't find where to stand.      Miss the days when blankets were stronger than Fort Knox, and money had one meaning: to buy train stations, and  the chances we took were cards in a box and we didn't use our cars to hotbox but we matched a lot. While momma was tryin' to teach me don't monopolize the TV that's just greedy. Noweverydaygoesbyspeedy and I don't have an effort to make myself peace treaties stuck in my self pity, wallowing like a wallaby with abstract gynecology Twitter-less no one follows me I hate my top eight. I've ruined the recipe but I still eat this teaming plate so I'm just left with a bitter taste.

I Cut My Showers Short
Allow me to project my insides Beside your ear. Certainly you can Determine how the Emptiness within my body Forgoes the exuberance Gathered on the surface. Haphazardly phrased fragments I speak Just to be heard, even faintly. Knowing my words Level worlds, Monopolize hearts, Negate negativity, Omitted from the explicit. Perfectly formed fractures Qualm me as they Reverberate through my body Slithering their way Through Timothy's Universe. Viciously assaulting Where they fit best. Xenobiotic and almost parasitic Yarns about a Zealous life not yet lived

Completed, unfinished Meeting, never met Craving the simplest flame The unrequited touch Tender, a sampling Vivacious Do I know you? I would like to I would love to Extinction is near I can smell it The death of the neatly And inky curved letters The excitement Of receiving One day, perhaps already Electric transmission Will monopolize Gone will be The crisp letter Neatly folded, tantalizing Faintly scented, terrifying You and I Always, on and on Forever will exchange The pieces of paper Which to others Mean nothing Yet to us Are the everything of eternity.

We are living in an self-obsessed, self-serving nation With citizens who only care about their own salvation Is this what our heroes lost their lives for? To see this nation crumble from wall to wall? We have the freedom to choose but do we use it well? We keep electing leaders who use lies to buy and sell The system flawed founded on fallacy They monopolize, advertise democracy and yet our voices remain unheard It's absurd, word for word how we're lead by cheats and drug lords I'm sick of seeing yellow people wearing blindfolds on their eyes reading yellow newspapers believing yellow lies Are you sure you're still thinking? Maybe you're just one of them believing the fairy tales they show us on TV They profit from our own stupidity conformity is what binds us to these chains We have to recognize the fact that only one family reigns We need to change lanes, start using our brains and get rid of the ******* chains! They're burning us slowly at the stake Our lives they're prepared to take This system was not built to defend us but to rule us, brainwash and control us So open your eyes and revolutionize Assert your position, your freedom utilize! Go forth and march at the gates Fueled by fire, justice and rage This generation should not take their **** Stand against the norm and defy it I'm sick of seeing yellow people wearing blindfolds on their eyes reading yellow newspapers believing yellow lies They won't let you go, They'll keep you in line Because you let them **** you in the mind They won't let you go, They'll keep you in line Unless you stand up and open your mind They won't let you win, They'll keep trapped Because you keep taking their crap They won't let you go, They'll keep you in line Unless you stand up and open your mind

Hypnotize them like Ginsberg with his sync'd breaths beating out a generation of some self-entited royalty mentality generation me me me Status Update to your favorite enemy yourself and the lack thereof action taken It's what do you stand for and how do you want to express it? How do you want to feel? And who do you want it to impact? Because honestly you're only in your head anymore when you think about obstacles it's your reality take a breath and let out your own howl to take it back from the ******** trying to monopolize on your own madness

Lives clash like cars crash On black ice we spin Cash my poker chips in & Monopolize on my sins Cause now she's my best friend And we both win, ayo Sometimes life's okay-o What's a perfect day Without a bad reference point What's a beautiful soul Without the bad men life appoints For every cosmos that combusts. Beauty coats the rust For every argument we have Her concerns cloud the fuss, ayo Sometimes life's okay-o (ayo - ayo) Karma's no buzz-kill for me She straightens me out and opens my eyes to see She keeps me aware of my lows, Man, she keeps me on my toes.

She Keeps Me On My Toes
there's something so selfish in the way we try to monopolize and control each other the human existence is paradoxical all our efforts slowly unravel like cloth caught on sharp edges we snag onto something and never let go I love you don't you dare ignore me I need the attention pretend I'll never be alone this is forever because I said so let's build a future together and destroy everything in our way because all that matters is that we're happy who cares what anybody else says you only need me and these bed sheets give up and surrender to that fleeting ecstasy we encounter together we can feel as if we can accomplish anything and be content with only each other because that's love to us

Wolf whistles And crocodile smiles Acting like an animal has never been my style. I don't Cat call or creeper crawl I'd rather slither on into your mind I want to Haunt you Until you're mine All Mine I don't need to violate your body To consume all of your thoughts I don't need to victimize you To dominate you Or be your God. I'll attach me to each memory You cherish in your life Your mind I will monopolize And then the world before your eyes You set me ablaze So you'll be my prey Until I'm the central figure of your story Don't be afraid - But there are many ways A man can be Predatory

Predatory
I gave him a name NB Because it's everything Negative aBout me #NegativeHypothetical Idea: You create more resistance than there really is. Now what exactly does that mean? Think about your greatest goal grandest dream And can you tell me Everything that could potentially go wrong All the reasons why you don't do it Your probabilities of failure + humiliation And all the pain that would bring? … probably. But, now can you tell me: The last three good things that happened to you this week? Doesn't need to be large, just enough to make you smile. I reckon or at least I know when it comes to me I can tell you the former over the latter much more easily. And isn't that a shame? That NB found a way to monopolize my thoughts and thus, my reality. That was until I gave him a name And decided to do away with Western paranoia. Because we all hear "voices" in our head, and I think that embracing those ideas and showing them some attention… rather than burying them with a doubtful "that's stupid," is the path to lightening up and letting go of negativity. A good first step in cultivating peace. And managing reality.

numerology
I sit beside you as you sleep With my mind racing back and forth. While you lay in restful slumber I cannot stop my thoughts from winging Left, right, up, down Until I'm driven to leap out of bed. You turn, disturbed by my jolt But no less dormant than you were before. As I look at your restful face, Tired eyes, soft lips, I envy the cushioning you feel As the weight of the world is caught by a mattress. I try, as you do, to let my body be heavy And welcome dreams to monopolize this cacophony. Turn left, turn right, Swinging myself until my arms rest gently on your waist. My breath spills onto the back of your neck As I slide my hand to wrap around your body. Suddenly, I feel the mattress catch me. My thoughts have stopped, I'm calm once more.

Play scrabble with our whispered words Cards, you are my king Play hide and seek I hope you hide so well I can find you only In the folds of our sheets Twister With the tangible tangle of our lives Intertwined Monopoly, monopolize Each curl of your lip Is mine Each muffled cry Of love Of pain Of emotion And I'm still learning to feel The ins and outs of your games To entertain you In any (Every) Way I can

The profit of greed Is the only thing they need. Man want more, For the seeds they sow. I profit more, Till I start to pour. I take others lives, To feed my fearful lies. I take what’s free, To monopolize and fee. Oh, you think you’re free? I lock, no key. What further more, Shall suffer need. I take before, Your life, I feed. They do this more, The plagues saturate the poor. All I need is myself alone, To finally destroy humanities stone.

The Profit of Greed
Concrete blood Slogs through my Asphalt body Silent horror films Cycle, ad infinitum, through my Frenzied mind My comprehension Entangles truth With authentic illusions My hypothesis Roars to life In the eyes of strangers Their expression Or lack thereof Contains damning evidence Simple tasks Once without challenge Monopolize my agenda My adversary Transformed into Achilles Receives leg armor My vigor Once formidable Goes on sabbatical My bed Once a place of solace Becomes my entire world

You took me to a place that helped me to forget all the battles I've been fighting and the buzzing in my head. We stood on rooftops overlooking city lights. I wanted to say I need you but you were taking in the sights. We stood at the center of the universe where you couldn't hear a thing. All I wanted was to kiss you as we listened for the trains to sing. About trials and tribulations with life on a one way track. About the beauty in their graffiti and how they're never coming back. We can blame our behavior on the liquor if it helps you to not be conflicted. If it somehow makes you feel better because those feelings are restricted. Just say you'll stop in later on and monopolize all my time 100 east second street if you're ready to be mine. 100 east second street if you're ready to be mine.

No matter the weather I depend on you forever, always with you making bank together. I wish not to see you go, but I'm here to let you know that, no business too strong, no sale too low, I’ll talk the talk and win boardwalk. You may raise the steaks, eat 'em with a shake, but I'll be the one to monopolize park place. Every day, we continue to strive, simply because we are alive with a passion of conquest that will put any limit to the test. Don’t tell us your rules, you fool, we pull the strings, so watch what you say, or everything you know of will go missing. Beware, our empire expands at a rate, which will never yield any capitalist mistakes, because at our core, we are omnipotent nationalists. We have climbed the steps, to the very top of the throne, and mark my words — the world will be ours to own.

The Deltonian Doctrine
I guess what they say about “Out of sight, out of mind” is false, or maybe it’s just me. Time has elapsed since you left but in my mind you are still among my fondest memories. I have given you too much airplay in my mind, you monopolize my thoughts ten times out of nine. I feel weak around you, the way superman is around the green kryptonite stone. Wish I could have you, if chance would allow coz you are bad and you know it, you make cupid shoot me like aww!!! Maybe this is loneliness talking or maybe am acting on impulse, whatever it is, I can’t deny that I want you. Now this aint that Romeo and Juliet fairytale kind of love that you see in movie screens or whatever love songs musicians sing, to me that ain't true. However, I have a genuine interest in you because of the way you make me feel and the way I feel about you, this much is true. I hate the fact that am indecisive, probably u do too. Am a Libra man, always weighing out things, trying to find a balance between good and bad. But if my past experiences are anything to go by, I know that it’s a risky thing, love is. A risk worth taking. See you… you make me want to throw away my pros and cons and fall in blind, coz am already falling for you and the crazy things you do. Wish I could move on… the way boys usually do but see I … I don’t want to.  I know that feelings sometimes fade and things sometimes change but I would love to try. Wish I could bribe time, love and chance, so that I could have my way with you.  It’s not nice to toy with feelings and I don’t intend to. I realized am a man of many wishes but if I had a genie, hypothetical, I would spend all my wishes wishing for true happiness.
