Endless stains of blood On white t-shirts On nights that scatter blue trees over black earth Alight by shooting stars The mother tells her child Unwilling to unlock the truth The truth those stars Don't grant your wishes They grab them With scarred scratching hands. Alight, The damp stitches in the soil Cemetery symmetrical to hospital Those shooting stars circling Like a vulture Speeds towards dead carcasses Still, the murdering star will not cease To break bones That have already broken To take lives That have already been taken To burn What is already charred Today smells like burnt muddied skin feels like gnawing on your own fingers for feast sounds like tired, howling machines spurring and sputtering, never-ending their onwards trek Swallowing distances and with it, nameless faces countless places Today the earthquakes of death Don't make the land shake anymore For it has learned to cope With the desolate cemeteries filled with mute bones Today burns like gasoline Looks like intestines decorating destroyed doorways Today it rains curdled crimson Tell me shooting star If the child liked  jam on his toast Did he snore? Did he like math? Or english? Shooting star doesn't know and neither the bombs. As bodies fall from trees like rotten plums. The world was born in blood And has not ceased to suckle its wounds Endless blood thirst, Endless war But not endless skin to bleed.

This is for my generation.   A generation full of selfies, in short for selfish.   A generation of women murdering their own unborn babies. Woman walk around half dressed hoping a man will grant them respect. As they reclaim their lives, renaming it feminism at it's best. This is for my generation. A generation of men that rather play with their hands. Rather than creating work out of their bare hands. Lusting for women as if we were created for one night stands. We are the millennials. We're full of worldly distractions. Looking for our parents to be the lending tree. Since we spend most of our money on ***** & **** This is for my generation. Can't you see we're slowly dying off? We are becoming too self involved. While every pleasure keeps causing our own demise. We're too stubborn to realize our ways are flawed. We mask it and look for love in other people. Yet, we feel emptier when the love isn't reciprocated. Some call this "unrequited love". This is for my generation. I'm here to tell you that, you are loved, you are cherished, and you can be forgiven. You can be saved, not by your works or how much money you make. If you only believe what He did for you on the cross. The perfect blood Atonement. We are the Godless generation. Most would say they believe in evolution, perhaps others would mention God. This is for my generation. See, Jesus didn't come for the religious people. In fact, he called them frauds. He's more than just a bunch of rules and laws. In reality, He only came to save the lost. Which lead him to be hated, beaten and killed on a cross. 3 days later, He rose from the dead something Allah never did. Now that our King is risen, He's offering a free gift of salvation. That's why it's called Grace. Being coming Christian doesn't make you perfect, don't get it twisted. I'm just a forgiven sinner by His definition. The choice is yours.

Dear Millennials,

'Tryna get to sunny Californy' - Boom. It's the awful raincoat making me look like a selfdefeated self-murdering imaginary gangster, an idiot in a rueful coat, how can they understand my damp packs - my mud packs - „Look John, a hitchhiker' „He looks like he's got a gun underneath that I. R. A. coat' 'Look Fred, that man by the road' „Some sexfiend got in print in 1938 in *** Magazine' – „You found his blue corpse in a greenshade edition, with axe blots'

Murdering murderers done gone melancholy in the moonlight. It's midnight. The perfect time to commit a crime. Here's to premeditated drug dealing. And everything else that can get me a one way ticket. To the Devil's bed-room.

Premeditated Drug Dealing.
with nothing else to fill their bellies the mice went back to eating poison and the ants in search of crumbs came back with nothing but death on their backs to feed their queens and under the light of the stars we crumbled the murdering of crows was made legal as the color of the doves guilt was decided to be more pure than the blood of a dead mans heart no matter the weight of his innocence and all this could have been stopped all this could have been avoided none of this... none of it... had to happen but we heard the screams of kindness we heard its cry for help we saw the hands of cruelty around its neck we saw the hate foaming we saw the dreams bleeding out and we did nothing and misery breed and filled the streets and slept in our beds and made its home under our skin and not even the light of the stars was enough for us to remember what it meant to be human back before we abandoned joy in the pursuit of the wealth of greed

Schrader (Breaking Bad)
I am the love killer, I am murdering the music we thought so special, that blazed between us, over and over. I am murdering me, where I kneeled at your kiss. I am pushing knives through the hands that created two into one. Our hands do not bleed at this, they lie still in their dishonor. I am taking the boats of our beds and swamping them, letting them cough on the sea and choke on it and go down into nothing. I am stuffing your mouth with your promises and watching you ***** them out upon my face. The Camp we directed? I have gassed the campers. Now I am alone with the dead, flying off bridges, hurling myself like a beer can into the wastebasket. I am flying like a single red rose, leaving a jet stream of solitude and yet I feel nothing, though I fly and hurl, my insides are empty and my face is as blank as a wall. Shall I call the funeral director? He could put our two bodies into one pink casket, those bodies from before, and someone might send flowers, and someone might come to mourn and it would be in the obits, and people would know that something died, is no more, speaks no more, won't even drive a car again and all of that. When a life is over, the one you were living for, where do you go? I'll work nights. I'll dance in the city. I'll wear red for a burning. I'll look at the Charles very carefully, weraing its long legs of neon. And the cars will go by. The cars will go by. And there'll be no scream from the lady in the red dress dancing on her own Ellis Island, who turns in circles, dancing alone as the cars go by.

well... she didn't want me... because i didn't want to do **** with her... and because i cooked better than her; or as one homosexual said: **** *** isn't really the norm in homosexuality, most **** *** takes place between heterosexual couples; maybe i just don't feel like talking about curtains and napkins growing old in front of a television screen? i think it's called companionship, without the authority brigade to get alimony and other stipends for a degree designating milking-it... as might require a woman shackling a partner with a few witnesses, like priest, lawyer... psychiatrist; god they're scared... they don't even fear murdering you, and when they try to, they just bellow out: 'my brother is dead! my brother is dead!' no, he's alive, he should have been dead 8 years ago, but you miscalculated; they're just scared of something that doesn't resemble a cage, as every housewife might tell you: a duck in a cage kept for petting rather than sloth for quickened fattening and eating will make the one eating it loose the plot... the duck will just pretend to be stupid.

bony ****
I hate you. Almost as much as I love you. I've been fantasizing about stabbing you in the legs the way I used to fantasize about kissing your face. I thought that I had one person I could always count on, I just knew you'd never betray me. Guess I was wrong. You broke my heart, I want to break your spine. You make the worst ex ever, and now you're mine. I want to hurt you the way you hurt me. I want to stuff glass into your arteries. I want you to stop saying you're sorry. I want you to invent a time machine, So this'll never've happened. So neither of us will've learned this lesson. "Darling you're the world to me" "My love, you make me so happy" What an idiot I was to believe these things. Now you've got me writing slam poetry Because I figure it's better than murdering you- And that little ***** you ****** too. You were drunk! You felt alone, You were confused, And guess who was right there to comfort you? That's no excuse. I sure hope going down on someone new, Was worth throwing that rare and beautiful thing we had away. I never knew someone could hurt me this way. Oh and by the way, I hate you.

My Love, I Hate You
It was supposed to be The dawn of a new age; A new set of dialogue On a more balanced stage With better lines for The actors to deliver. It was supposed to start in The sixties and last forever. We didn’t really know for sure What this Aquarius stuff was But it seemed to us to be A metaphysical enough cause, To change the way we acted And to shout down the rest; To face the demagogues Then put them to the test. We stopped wearing uniforms That said we went along With the hard-assed leaders. We put a lot of it in our songs. We called them what they were Greedy warmongering ****** We protested and picketed And promised so much more. We spoke out loudly on TV And in crowds in the streets That we were through will genocide And would not accept defeat. We cried out that our government Had assumed the role of villain And was murdering for no reason Not just men, but even children. But, we let it all die down; We let the government slide On investigating the truth And keeping the truth inside A carefully chosen batch of Criminals in public office. We let them go on making war And making money off us. We let them cheat and lie And re-write acceptable laws To support their bloodthirstiness And we gave up on our cause. Maybe all that protesting gave All our marching feet limps. Or maybe it’s because all along We were just a bunch of wimps.

NEW AGERS
A blood red sunset drips over the black asphalt city skyline somewhere in a lost part of America where the dream has long been dead and buried and hate and fear rule the rural streets that are protected by peace keepers that practice ****** more often than upholding the law It has been declared open season on any crow the color of a starless night sky and the dove has become a symbol of to protect and serve their own kind birds of a feather that cover for one another justice is blinded by the snow covered truth and the color of corruption is coincidentally the same as the color of money the poor have little choice but to trade their bones and their hopes to the corporations of the new land of the free to be owned by and controlled by a minimum wage that only guarantees to keep the poor poor enough   to work another day     and another day       and another day until there bones are nothing but powder and their beds are nothing but coffins for the barely living and life somewhere in a lost part of America at the end of everyday the sky turns red and the color of blood runs through the streets as the doves go along with their business of the murdering of crows

a lost part of America
Dr.  King said “I have a dream”, But his dream suffered homicide in the streets of our nightmares. Murdered by the people who were supposed to protect us. 336 innocent people killed in 2015, because the police saw color instead of people, I suppose the color of their skin was more important than human rights. Because someone's melanin pigment spoke more to how people perceived them than did the color of their character. So much has changed, but we’re not done yet. There are still racists hiding behind screens, and cops who refuse body cams. The white man in blue suits killings brown kid’s dreams, murdering their moments and god **** Dr. King’s dream of peace and harmony dies in the eyes of every American citizen. You know things ain’t right when you are more worried about your boyfriend with cops than with drug dealers. You know something is wrong when walking with him at night is more dangerous for him than for me. You know there’s a problem when there are too many cops, not enough justice, Too many them and not enough us and.... Dr.  King said “I have a dream”, And.... So much has changed, but we’re not done yet. When there are still people like Sandra Bland, and Mike Brown, who die for no reason, then we aren't done yet. Because when people are more comfortable on a street with gun shots than cops, then we aren't done yet. When I still get looks for having a black boyfriend, then WE AREN'T DONE YET. We won’t be done until there’s equality, until there’s no more violence, it may not happen in my life time, but we aren’t done yet.

Does evil exist? Well, does it, or not? I demand an answer And if it does, hold that thought Because if wrong does exist We must face the reality That calling something wrong means There's a right way things ought to be But if wrong does not truly Exist in bright colors Well, what, then is justice But a meaningless construct? If the **** of a child In all histories and cultures Can be called pure evil Even by society's worst prisoners If the ****** of innocents Is forever and always An evil in society That can't be tolerated If imprisonment of a woman Like chattel for sale Being held as a *** slave In her own private hell Or murdering Jews Like Hitler's evil plan Or starving millions unjustly In Stalin's Ukraine Or killing the masses For political expedience Culling babies in China Or locking up dissidents If beheading of heretics Is inherently wrong Or even violating your privacy Or invading your home If these are universally bad And there's meaning in words Then there's universal good That our souls are drawn toward Something more than just philosophy Because that lacks authority And if good is defined by the majority Then what about the minority? Tyrants run roughshod When rights come and go At the whims of the powerful Because what they say goes No, evil is something More than laws, or from cultures Or philosophical sophistry From ivory towers To try to stop badness Is really to defend That there's a god of pure goodness Who wants us like him We can discuss who that god is And what is his substance But the least we can do Is acknowledge his existence You can say that religion Starts evil wars and such And you might just be right But you've just proved too much Because if there is no god Whose nature defines goodness Who are you to call war bad Or **** evil, or hate, darkness? Who are you to sit in judgment Of the religious who you think hate you? If there is no moral standard That makes hate wrong, and judging too? If morality is nothing more Than just a social contract Then it's just he said/she said And there's no moral compass You see, your compass is as good as mine And that may be fine, generally Until the ****** asserts his own Warped idea of morality What makes his wrong And yours universally right? That's a tough question That keeps philosophers up at night Because indeed, if there is no god There's no guilt to assuage For the wrongs that man does Because there is no such gauge It's like measuring empty Without knowing what full is Or like trying to describe love Without knowing who God is

A child wanders the hall before school starts The emptiness and loneliness are his education New children enter the school As they exit the bus Light shines on the school As it exits the Sun Yet the wandering child's eyes must adjust To colors he's starting to see Colors like jealousy and frustration The wandering child is powerless to the explosive light And searches for ways to extinguish it He finds his solution in the room where we keep our guns The room sits in the dark center of the building Across the hall from where we keep our children Kids have been playing with guns for a while now Everyone my age that I know Imagined shooting up their school These are well adjusted people It's just the times we live in And what it takes to adjust There are some things that will remain true Killing is wrong And murdering a murderer is ****** The executioner hides his face in shame He's ashamed of the enjoyment he feels From the power he holds over other people's lives Unaware the power he holds Is meant to come from love Love that has been buried For the temporary thrill of death It seems like a dark joke Giving a child a gun And then asking them to go through high school Because kids are ******* stupid And some people never grow up And high school never ends The wandering child takes his newly found arsenal To the densely populated cafeteria Only to realize the other children are just as well armed They drown in tension When their actions have megaton weight Before anyone can say anything Everyone starts shooting They grade each other in their minds And their test comes at the end of the barrel They find validation In blood splattered on the wall And bodies that once stood now lying The gunshots deafened the wandering child And the smoke blinded him Reminiscent of the emptiness and loneliness before school started This was his education Today I watched a bunch of ants eating one another Their ant hill collapsed as rain started pouring Yet they continued killing each other as they drowned They all seemed to be the same size But their problems seemed so much bigger So they found comfort in killing one another instead

A child wanders the hall before school starts The emptiness and loneliness are his education New children enter the school As they exit the bus Light shines on the school As it exits the Sun Yet the wandering child's eyes must adjust To colors he's starting to see Colors like jealousy and frustration The wandering child is powerless to the explosive light And searches for ways to extinguish it He finds his solution in the room where we keep our guns The room sits in the dark center of the building Across the hall from where we keep our children Kids have been playing with guns for a while now Everyone my age that I know Imagined shooting up their school These are well adjusted people It's just the times we live in And what it takes to adjust There are some things that will remain true Killing is wrong And murdering a murderer is ****** The executioner hides his face in shame He's ashamed of the enjoyment he feels From the power he holds over other people's lives Unaware the power he holds Is meant to come from love Love that has been buried For the temporary thrill of death It seems like a dark joke Giving a child a gun And then asking them to go through high school Because kids are ******* stupid And some people never grow up And high school never ends The wandering child takes his newly found arsenal To the densely populated cafeteria Only to realize the other children are just as well armed They drown in tension When their actions have megaton weight Before anyone can say anything Everyone starts shooting They grade each other in their minds And their test comes at the end of the barrel They find validation In blood splattered on the wall And bodies that once stood now lying The gunshots deafened the wandering child And the smoke blinded him Reminiscent of the emptiness and loneliness before school started This was his education Today I watched a bunch of ants eating one another Their ant hill collapsed as rain started pouring Yet they continued killing each other as they drowned They all seemed to be the same size But their problems seemed so much bigger So they found comfort in killing one another instead

*This poem is dedicated to the memory of Admiral Albert ***** Potter who displayed amazing bravery by wearing full drag through several major sea battles.  He was cashiered for insisting the Admiralty rename his ship HMS Butch instead of HMS Fearless. In fact the vessel was eventually renamed HMS Damp **** because it was full of ****** A life on the ocean wave, ** In the olden days of sail When England's ships were proud and brave And their crews were very male. The Captain stood upon his bridge Looking smart and flash; But below the decks, the orders were *** and *** and the lash. The bosun went to the main gunroom, **** Deadeye at the ready; Initiation time had come For little midshipman Freddy. "Strap him o'er that cannon, lads!" Roared the hirsute fellow, "Gag his mouth securely, lads, In case he tries to bellow!" The sailors did as he had bid - Refused and they'd be punished - And they knew their turn would come After the bosun had finished. The bosun went up the poor young lad And soon was going strong; Midshipman Fred looked rather pained - The Bosun was THICK and LONG. Then came the turn of the other men And they set to with a will; Little Fred could not say no Until they'd had their fill. What a life our sailors had then, Always singing shanties; When men were men and big and butch And cabin boys wore silk ******* A life on the ocean wave, ** With the rolling sea and the spray. Sinking the Frogs and murdering Wogs Kept England's sailors so gay. OLÉ!  OLÉ!  OLÉ!  OLÉ!  OLÉ!  OLÉ!

A crow never stole corn    that the earth didn’t give freely The man too often takes   too much credit for what     he puts down into the dirt Wether it is a seed or a body As if he alone made   life sprout and grow As if without him    the earth would not be green the sky would not be blue As if he himself is   the very GOD he prays to The man forgets his place   when murdering the crow    for nothing more      than being a crow Mistaking black beaks   and black feathers     and black eyes   as things that must     always be up to no good A bird that is no good   for anything but a target     for his hate and fear As if the crows heart    was meant for nothing other      than to give his bullets         something to bite into The man becomes something    less and less  every time he murders     another crow

The Murdering of Crows
Some get that way by playing it safe, memorizing mantras, righteously abiding by rules, some get there by cutting seams, lost in purposelessness, partaking of ether, marijuana, alcohol, or anything that's buzzy enough, some find their sweepstakes in curls, in fantasies, on the internet, or in the aftermath, some claim the spoils, some gracefully accept determination, some divorce their wives, some happily raise their pulse to the heavy metals, some review albums and cut down the ******** some write love stories for our grandmas, our moms, our ex-girlfriends, some find it in politics, right winging, left winging, chicken winging, some in bomb threats, some find it in supremacy, others in melting pots, some cheer up over breakroom chitty-chats, some in **** *** some in sympathizing with pedophiles trapped in iron lungs, some when they have hit the bottom rung, some by rationalizing, boosting themselves above half-wrongs, to coast on the half-rights, some by breaking up, some by declaring war, only to get discouraged, yet proud of the scars, some kids dance to experimental music, some write blogs about capitalism, some find it kicking it with bitter vegans, others while murdering their parents, but everyone is a winner, everyone is right, everyone has earned the paycheck, the vacation, the **** wife, and the key to eternal life.

Everyone is a Winner (hoo-rah-ray)
while you were singing in the churchyard i was sleeping in the ***** barn beside a withered picture of an astronaut and a long beard filled with street secrets while you were burning up in sainthood i was screaming into a melancholy leaf wearing sweat on my miserable ***** and a liar's grin on my face while you were murdering your wife i was milking this dream for all the light and i thanked god on bended knee saying you're a turtle dove in an icebox while you martyred yourself into the ocean i carried you with me on my road to freedom like an aligator stomped hard by a mockingbird or a mermaid shot full of antibirth tablets

Money is a **** producer, who mascarades as a professional film producer, promising fame and fortune to young girls in LA. Money exploits us all, telling us to cry on his **** as he forces it down each of our throats. MMM Money talks its valuable poetry, cha ching as we take the money shot, the money shot, the money shot... Blaw! we take the money and run. Exploited, every one of us carries this inflated value; running around with our heads chopped off. Where did we put our heads? Not a one realizing how. We put our heads collectively in the sand. Money talks, but we dont. Money walks, but we wont. Money marches, but we cant stand. Can't form a coherent sentence while we're getting ****** "If my dad finds out he will destroy me!" "I won't tell." Money wants us young, dumb, and full of idiom; and as the bubble bursts, we can't help but feel depressed. Our faces are all over the internet. America the beautiful, I can hardly see your face behind the biggest, blackest **** If you want to turn anyone into your own personal ***** first you got to get the money! Money is king. But is he kind? Money is our god, but what kind? Money money money, MONEY! The lyrics of every rap song on the top 100 Can we get some hoes and some money that we can throw's up in here!? It's what we all want, and its what we all fear. Money controls us and rules us without a peer. Money replaces trust, it replaces common decency, and puts a friendly mask on the face of a murdering monster. Money makes me sick. It smells like burning flesh if you read it just right, and put your nose up real tight, it can start to burn you too. Roll a hundo, give Ben a sniff. Money doesn't care if you sell it off to buy drugs or a train wreck. Money isn't ethical and neither are you. Money wants us all to bow down, and when we rise up, we look like monopoly men. Give me some money and I can change the world into a paradise on earth; give your local bank some money, and our world looks like a shopping mall.

People held hostage, always living in fear, The barrel of a weapon, is always near. Riding the train, a blood curdling scream, A deafening noise, and a bright light beam. A violent shock wave tears open your flesh, The lucky ones, receive skin grafts with mesh. Your arm torn off, artery bleeding is profuse, A dying thought is, what was the use? What was the purpose, to **** all these people? In the name of Allah, perched on a mosque steeple. Radical extremists don't care about life, By murdering people they increase human strife. Wasting resources, bringing the Earth gloom, Look at faces on a plane, many filled with doom. The last thirty five years I don't understand, Middle Eastern countries, together they band. Bringing terror and hatred towards cultures of the west, We accept the need to feel your ways are the best. Pray all you like, cover up a women's face, Stop trying to change America's philosophy and place. Once the oil is gone, and the land again bare, Back to living in tents, flowing robes you will wear. Your tactics are old, soon you may feel, The burning of skin, this inferno is real. A nuclear explosion will end years of frustration, No longer putting up with terrorists indignation. Revolutions reveal, the world ending in flame, Enough with this nonsense, put an end to this game! Visit poemsbypaul.com

The hearts and minds of our future selves weld, And Melt into the *** It seems hopeless to try, But I can't seem to stop. Until Father time says; "My clock will tic but not tock," Sorry Doc you can' cure my ailments, I'm killing myself for you, But I still feel selfish. Only if I can hide within myself like a shellfish, Maybe I wouldn't be so hellbent on understanding this Paradox. I saw our future before I knew your name. It pains me to say its presently driving me insane I try to fight the feeling Though I can't seem to tame it Steady holding the gun to your heart But I can't seem to aim it Praying for something different Though I can't seem to change it I can't seem to change us Like Love is the game, And Someone is playing us Framing us, For murdering "What could be" I don't know If its what should be Though I have no problem seeing If what would be perfect. Could really be perfect. I may be delusional Tho, I don't care because I know your worth it Hallucinations of spending my time With only you on this Earth. I can't say if its a blessing or a curse. At times its the best but, Most of the time its the worst. Trying my best to appease you Until I leave this Earth.

If I could travel back in time what would I do? Would I **** ****** as a baby to prevent him growing into a mass murdering maniac? Would I try to warn New York City on September 10th 2001? Would I keep my mother from getting on that bus that killed her in an accident? Or would I re-live a day so many times until I had figured out a way to get into Zoe's pants who works in a coffee-shop nearby? I don't know I'd probably just go back to last night and check where I left my fuckin' car keys Saving the world... it's just not worth it

There is so much darkness in this world. So much evil, selfishness, feel good , and greed. So much abuse, murdering, and **** as well. So many people are hurting these days we live in. So many people are blaming it on a God that loves us. Because we do not understand , why its happening. Well the best answer that I can think of is freewill. He gives us all Freewill to do whatever we choose. The evil demons gets into people minds speaking to them. To do the evil that you see in this dark world we live in. God does protect people to a certain point but still there is Freewill.
