"subscribing" poems
no one is subscribing to the universal affection draining subconscious ailment that needs no treatment quaking with fear shaking with revulsion looking to prolong an hour, a minute stretching one second into ten seconds where are we going, past the streetlights the crossroads the commotion inside the canal boat that surrounds and accompanies this road - will it ends one day, sometimes, somewhere and brings an end to the entire's generation guilt and disease?

Crossroads
Women are not mysterious. We are not shrouded in cloaks made from the night sky. We are not anomalies or irregularities in the data. Our nature has been hidden from men, by men. We have not been studied; Not extensively, thoroughly, over centuries. Not the way men have been, either. There was no equal footing in analyses. Women were test subjects, when men were patients. When we were "relevant" at all. This pattern literally kills us quicker. In medicine, and love. In the office and the bedroom. In the workshop and the nursery. In the kitchen. In the kitchen. Some food for your soul: Everyone is magical. You don't need a pointy hat and a ****** Everyone is intellectual. You don't need spectacles, white skin, or a ***** Everyone is environmental. Just go outside. You just need to be you. Subscribing to the binary and rejecting it completely: One ties your hands, the other your feet. Be all the parts of you. Then you can feel Whole.

Between Our Legs, and Everywhere Else
A book shouldn't be judged by its cover they said. A person should be judged on their heart they said. Plenty of books go unread They are too small Too thick Too old Too beat up People and love have the same fate as a book. Love is hypocritical. How can an emotion, that is said to be Judged by the heart, Consider the optical cortex's opinion. Before it weighs a soul Hypocrites. Predators are lead by their sight as well. Killing off prey In blood lust That is interesting. Perhaps lust is the issue Their eyes devour what they want While the heart is left empty. If I lose weight am I subscribing to this belief? Am I not fit enough to be loved? Would being devoured by predators truly mend my heart? My windowless soul bleeds. While their eyes ignore me. Am I changing myself to be loved, or Can love change itself to find me?

Love is a Hypocrite
Ahhh poets of an age words and line so smooth keeping art the focus and rage with nothing left, too prove Wild and free beyond repute no cares for meanings now in vogue playing as piper, devout astute now and then, going pure rogue The rebels that we know and love not subscribing to rote or known hands that guide, in velvet gloves not what they hide, but shown Heed the call my friends and scribes remember why you're here as each and all imbibes the pains and scars inscribed with all the love and yet still all the fear

Rising above, a call, to wordy arms
Dear Mark, You have an uncanny ability to make me laugh. So many times I have been in the darkest of places, To be brought back up by another video of yours. You thank us, me, for subscribing and supporting you, But really, you shouldn't be thanking us. We should be (and are) thanking YOU For helping us For saving us For making us laugh For making us happy For making us forget our troubles For your continued dedication For your hilarity For your generosity For everything.

To Mark Fischbach (markiplierGAME)
We are slaves to the techno-autocracy. A faith of subscribing, of retweeting, of liking things we never loved. We chant into the feed and call it presence. We echo to the void and call it voice. The liturgy is noise. The sacrament is scroll. We kneel before timelines like altar rails and take communion in pixels. We have traded prophets for influencers. Revelation for reposts. Scripture for screen time. The holy ghost got a firmware update, but still can’t answer support tickets. We stare at our gods, glowing in our palms, and ask to be known— but only if it fits in the caption. There is no silence. Only the dull roar of monetized despair. The din that keeps us deaf. The bombast of uninformed certainty. The drivel that drips down our chin while we think we’re being fed. We are full of nothing, and still we chew.

Gospel of the Scroll
I'm uncomfortable   And always tense In observational Desire From my corner coffee shop Spot. Unnoticed, I see simple embrace One for which my body aches. My body breaks I realize I'm alone and In doing so actualize my own fate. People are aliens Foreign and speaking a language which seems eerily   familiar but forgotten years ago. It seems I am not getting better at conversing just daily Rehearsing The same rhetoric Stoic lows recycled and recited to a new day, a new ethereal face Inadequate Inadequacies Inadequately Inscribed, ,described and, imbibed. Please, oh Lord, Let me imbibe before subscribing to speak to you, me, every and anyone. Send Help! Send Anyone! A person to make my lips feel a little less caustic. Casual conversation by the wayside I want what I had Not what I can or could have. I don’t want love. I’d rather have a dog to put to sleep than no dog at all.

Inadequate Inadequacies Inadequately Inscribed, ,described and, imbibed.
I don't know which is better So I'm tossed by the wind, feeling light as a feather I keep flirting with sin, keep subscribing to this earthly pleasure Finding joy in the moment, but losing my forever. I don't know which way to go I wanna go home but where is home? i don't know So I follow the flow, the flow of the river I want to swim again'st  the current but no strength in me, only growing weaker. I want to find peace It rains in the jungle, the nights are cold, and there's only a few trees keeping me shelter I look out between the trees and I see eyes aglow staring me down, I sense imminent danger Should I run or should I stay here?  Cause it's only worse out there Soaked, tired, alone and afraid, I wonder Should I pull my blade? Or myself should I try barricade? Why am I afraid? I know I should've prayed and probably should've weighed the actions I made, now in the wind and rain I have little shade I should not have strayed, that course I should've stayed and now I have no aid as darkness sings to me it serenades, it looks beautiful it masquerades. It wants to make me believe, and feel, a beautiful feeling like Christmas eve, so that I can be deceived and caught unaware. unaware, I mean there was never any light in darkness, I just feel the cold, rain and wind on my skin left bare and I know it's bare because I feel this air, my eyes fixed out into the wilderness and looking back at me is still a stare and at this point I'd swear, that I was all alone, no hope, not even a prayer and nothing could compare, to that feeling of despair out in the wilderness, But behold, out of nowhere I saw a light appear piercing through the darkness, signaling me like a flare And a song! A song filled my ear! singing "yea though I walk through the valley of the shadow of evil, nothing shall I fear" And not just that valley, but anywhere, and then no sweeter words had left my lips as I whispered the Lord's prayer as I was delivered from my wilderness In the name of Jesus, in his warmth, his care

The man is mad but, he is fair The hostages' fate flips in the air The coin tumbles, two sides, a pair Gravity steers to the man in his chair "Fate" says the man, "is in our hands" Result occluded, desperate strands The verdict of nefarious plans "We all want--NO! We demand!" "We all believe there is something owed" "A cache of treasure just for us, stowed" "Our wealth for subscribing to control" "A fruitless and folly toll" The man of madness makes his reveal The future of the captives it did seal Heads or tails, bound they reel Hopes palpable of a favorable deal "It seems that you will all be set free" A sigh emanates amongst the captive company Bonds removed, Stockholm comradery A passing dismissal to the powers that be "Free from 'freedom', this was your chance" "To escape this tired song and dance" "You could have been heroes, not this stance" "To return to comfortable circumstance" "The path you celebrate was the failure state" "Decency and humanity to arbitrate" "I cannot harm a life doomed to wait" "More than the misery in your own stake" "I have achieved nothing but, you have lost" "A life with no meaning worth the cost" "A Hallmark version of Faust" "A reality casually glossed" The hostages promptly depart All aside from this seeming upstart Younger then the rest, set apart Comes inquisition from the heart; "Did you think these people would change their minds?" "Where fed insipid mediocrity is all there is left to find?" "A people who measure themselves in how far they are behind?"

love and all, but truly a form of distancing, love among distances, and if in close affection, a love loved for an ideal rather than coherent practice of your biological conquest of history, really, darwinism chose a wrong sparring partner, instead of theology it should have chosen history! love and all, but truly a form of distancing. words aren't enough to decipher what i saw, a tearful girl on my moonlit path... ever look at a moon with sunglasses? i can't love you enough, because i simply can't love you... i don't get agitated as such, prostitutes don't lie... among them i the truth-teller... i have fewer words to say to encapsulate this... and poets are indeed the unaknowledged scribblers of events, so shaded so whole in eyes being pardoned... i, she, the street moonlit, i was there once, with a fox she walked past with mutual calm... why do i have my mother's eyes to cry with! the guilt of not subscribing to a mortgage or car insurance i mind to know avoided, avoided - and the killer ate with me... i want his mother's eyes!

title (optional)
Being, behind the words   Feels a sublime ease   With a calm memory   A sense of being alive     In no Man’s land   Subscribing a new world order   With a sacred realm   Encrypted hope     Where,   The soul speaks     The Heart listens   An Ancient script,     In a native tongue        Don’t get it, Regardless?   A native tongue,   Same syllable,   Stammer astray        Misspelled, misunderstood     Those celestial pieces   Being, gracefully rude Phenomenal,   All in Innocence.

If there's one thing I know best It's My obsession Which lay deep down In a room with shackles Waiting for that uncontrollable period To exhibit it shape I know for sure it changes shape To be satisfied with figure For obsession show's With out knowing It stain without showing Just like a phone with password I tell you it always a reminder As date is. It's certained that obsession leads to Desiree's Some can't be spoken of Nor to be believed For to know an individual Know his obsession And to know his desire Hook up to his obsession Like subscribing to YouTube...
