i peeked into your secret i unbottuned your sensitivity with your own sarcasm you blew my vietnam my heart is a touchy speaker cable and you sparked me up now i am empty beer bottles oscillating in your hand and then you set me down i am your nostalgia and you can only think of bad things like bruised knees and gout and that summer you had walking pneumonia and syphilis and you cried every night into your mother's arms i am the cancer you faked in order to gain attention i am that boy that fell for it and gave you syphilis i am your shaved head on picture day in the 9th grade i am your solitude i am your noise i am your virginity being taken in the backseat of your brother's best friend's parent's camaro when you were 15 and more than willing

Walking Pneumonia
Upon a morning dreary I took a **** which left my ******* weary I wiped I flushed I exited the bathroom blushed Twelve hours passed Since that horrid **** left my *** And low and behold A smell flowed to my nose Just as a burning arose Underneath my ******* I knew too late the **** had stained The flesh, my taint tucked under my ******** train ONE WIPE WAS NOT ENOUGH... Pretty soon around six o'clock There came upon my door a knock knock knock And who was there? Who did I hear calling to my ears? It was the *** positive, gonarreah infested, scabies encrusted, syphilis ridden, transexual sex-kitten I had started a relationship with over Craig's List Now, listen children carefully to this... ***** tucked hisher's lips around hisher's teeth And began a ******* that could make the Hulk weak But it was over in a jif When ***** caught a wiff And that little sneak Took a pervy peak At the feces widely spread underneath ***** RAN AWAY CRYING I was laughing so hard I thought I was dying That pesky little poo Left on hisher bottom lip Made that entire bathroom trip FULLFILLING

Lost
Some time ago in the furnace below Grew restless the ruler of sin; He dug through His closet Composed a composite Consisting of a violin. The underworld rang with Delectable twang As Lucifer plucked on His strings; E'en angels flew down Allured by the sound Til Cerberus plucked off their wings. Eventually Satan grew bored of this, too; That thrill-seeking ******* must capture the new; So up to the land of the living He flew; Disguised as a figure whom everyone knew. First on the agenda of any pretender: Extinguish the genuine soul; He arrived in Genoa Disguised as a boa And silently swallowed him whole.   With Europe His playground The Devil, He made sound That no one alive had yet heard; He fiddled and plucked, Gambled and ****** Until inside Him syphilis stirred.   His physical shell He now had to retire; Back to the depths of the black and the fire; Forever above will the humans admire; The legend of strings; the king; the sire.

Paganini
. Henry VIII was a deluded monarch, he could never have ruled the Earth, for he hasn't seen his **** for years, hiding beneath the bulk of his girth. And wobbling onto the battle field is not the behaviour fit for a King, he would have to sit nursing his cysts and hoping the ointments don't sting. His eating excess was cause for concern but his syphilis remained largely unseen, and one really has to feel so sorry for whomever it is that is currently Queen. His penchant for young and younger Ladies made him a stranger to baths and soap, and his bed hopping antics to sire a son bought him much trouble from the pope. © Pagan Paul (09/12/18)

Serendipitous Sirens ****** Seasick Sailors to Satiate Sickly Sensual Seconds Stalked full of Sexually Stimulating Sentences Second only to *** itself; Sad for Seasick Scurvy Sailors Syphilis will Soon Succeed Sanity.

**** you Haiku
This is how I deal with my **** I write it up just for you, my words are cursive for a purpose, it heals the pain I deal with inside. Honest opinions that make people mad, they say I ain't rad, I'm just a fad of ****** hip-hop. I say I am a favour to this industry, but you ****** ain't feeling me, so I keep my lyrics confined with my pride.  Ironic syphilis dickwads filled & infused with hate for yah to feel, this is just the real, no need for props. Can't handle me, you can't accept me, but I don't care, i'm rare, not some sell out like black eyed pea's. ****** get mad when I say ***** but don't hate, natives were called ****** too, so I don't want to hear your **** about it. Work out with a wii fit, cheat when I do a spelling bee, lying about everything, trampling the rap game that's how I be. I used to try not swearing because it's just a easy cliche that fake rappers say, but **** it I need to get across my thoughts in a way for you peanut brains to truly understand my **** Is this the innocent kid we used to hear, no that kid died when introduced to this crude society, gentle giant becomes defiant to the ways of how we live. Hulking out against everything wrong, i'll wreck the way we see things, not caring for the feeling you have, make you cry tears that will clear your blind view of the issues we face. So hate me, go ahead, I don't care, in fact i'll come to hater club with you, hear everything you have to say and save it in my eternal thoughts like a external drive. You have no taste for real rap, you probably listen to low life bottom feeders like little wayne, that's not real rap that craps a disgrace.

Then took her by complete surprise; Bursting forth into hysterics I gazed into her glazed, mesmeric eyes **My intention descending like nightmarish haze; *Said **** that merit badge Grandma ***** let the cat out the bag I wanna play*** She's fixin for a lickin And I'm dying to get a taste That ***** glistening so listen Preheat the oven don't need no glove I've got an addiction finna bore in frictionless! Instantly smitten, Her face turned shades of crimson when I finished with "Lets play genital hide & seek - You're it" It's time to remit demented dementia baby I'm not so easy to forget; & I'm shots of splotchy red like syphilis *Don't front like you won't give me the nookie Girl urrbody had a crack at your world famous cookies & I just can't keep my hand out the jar* Tonight I'll wrestle a cougar with my bare hands

Today I helped an old lady cross the street
Oh Donald Trump may be an angry, narcissistic fool; A racist, a misogynist and all-round half-baked tool. Upon his nation and the world, he represents a curse, but all of that's okay, you see, for Hillary was worse! Oh Hillary, she had mad cow and syphilis and rabies. She drank the blood of virgins and she lived to dine on babies, and from her eyes shot laser beams while on a broom she flew. In every way she's crooked, for The Donald says it's true! She once was witnessed soaking in a lava-filled hot tub, where she was playing footsie with her pal, Beelzebub! To the Gulf and Caribbean she released the hurricane. She brings the earthquake, fire, plague, and drought and flooding rain! Although she now is history, with influence no more, we must all hate her while The Donald's failings we ignore. So while Trump spews his hate and puts all progress in reverse, we must embrace his evil ways... For Hillary was worse!

But Hillary was Worse!
In school, they used to teach us phrases like: The fast car, or, The big tree. But never did they mention the man who, Upon losing his education like his keys, Takes a fast car into a big tree- On purpose. Then, in school, they taught us drugs are bad, *** is dope, crack is wack. Yet never did they once speak of the father who, Uses drugs to feed his kids, so that they grow and feed their kids too- Through purpose. And, in school, they showed us pictures. Of Syphilis and AIDS, To scare us. But, once again, the graphs and facts were missing, As though seeing was trespassing upon some truth- Some purpose. So I pick up a pen and write: A suicide story, a poem from the block. And I sketch a Polaroid of a shaken scene, Of the things I am not. So that I, Yes I may lead a life- With purpose.

I hold a secret deep inside (no, not syphilis) I thought it might be false But it's true and not a lie at all And this causes a problem So listen up and listen well Just ignore all the signs you see Because they'll lead you wrong Just promise to try Try and avoid the secret Because it is a problem If you would read its lore

Secret stuff is bad for your health, says the doctor
'LOVE IS BLIND'? 'Love is blind'? what nonsense! then how come we have 'love at first sight'? Shakespeare in one sentence had hoodwinked us since 1616 true, he wrote great drama and poetry but we must note he didn't study medicine nor opthalmology and mind you we are living in the 21st century with all the science and technology surely it would be the greatest folly to just quote the bard's cliche blindly the eyes have it ask the ophthalmologist without the eyes the lover would not see beauty and as a corollary how could you love somebody if in the first instance you were blind id est--you couldn't see! careful, so careful we must all be to differentiate between reality and the ranting of silly poetry if this myth were to perpetuate nilly-willy mankind would look really silly that would look good not even to the slightest degree and one more thing please bear with me and this is the bard's secret history he had chancre--venereal ulcer for which he received treatment could he have written 'Love is blind' being affected by that odious malady? London's brothels he did visit frequently when he was away from Stratford-upon-Avon he drank a lot too--there is ample evidence he also had anasarca (oh mercy!) result of mercury-related membranous nephropathy ( we shall not defile him further- but his alopecia was due to treatment of mercury for his syphilis---what a medical litany!) in conclusion we could somehow see that England's greatest writer was not as bright as he had been taken to be.

Pour myself another drink I should stop writing and denounce HP It has become a voice to my nightly brain fever More serious disease than syphilis As it eats away at my brain I suspect in much the same way In past a vent for the toxic thoughts off divorce Preoccupied in bitter tears and hatred Not seeing its healing potential till now A display of my emotion Sometimes intense yet so often lost to others A soap box of parody that hid a broken heart An inverse playground of my deepest fears In that it has many swings and roundabouts Of love, for others here Some home so long since gone Dealings with grief and loss of substance My family Now seems like a wrecking ball formed verse when re read Others I cannot see where I was in my head Lights on yet not at home The words don't fit now I thought STOP! Delete But that would be failed testament to myself. The gin now speaks not me (metaphoric as drinking Bundaberg Guava as good for the kidneys and to wash down my acidophIlus tablets just to clear up that I'm not a wino!) A bottle opened to embrace Odd as I can't remember when I last loaded More so on a school night I was told to look in not omit myself by helping others Give me some me time I have time I dwell, cogitate to detriment and find no solution So Yes may be his answer and his inner solace It is not yet for me. Goodnight Mrs Kalabash see you in St Louis

Memoires of a broken (under repair) mind. episode 47
Drive off the edge of a shallow cliff Congrats, you've made it off the curb Doing drastic things has never been my specialty Let's live vicariously through someone else I won't feel anything But that cuts both ways Melodramaticism spills forth onto a page that exists Only because we want it to. Philosophy in this place Semantics in schools School of thought School of rot School of wrought Insides sink like they're covered in ink Resting in my pelvis Anatomy is for the birds But people have it too I'm still waiting, Haven't you heard? I'm still a ****** Wrong wait, As in: wait here just a little I've got more to say Feeding experiments to those most hungry Let's secretly give syphilis. Disgusting peoples live throughout our days The devil and God are raging inside of me Let's be brand new Just nonsense, drivel Welcome to my poetry There's meaning here, seriously Just, please, don't let go of me.

Put a fork (or a sock) in it
close your eyes, and perhaps in doing so, you will dream a dream never dreamt before. in this dreamt world there are insects that glow, and language that won't make sense anymore. with very strange phrases like "civil war," and even stranger like "life after death." there will be giant metal birds that soar, people underwater not holding breath. they will call it the land of the free, with stories of black men given syphilis. and these stories are labeled fact, not myth, but still something historians will miss. of course, this all seems unlikely to me. now open your eyes, tell me what you see.

Livin' out Hefner's flesh colored dreams Hangin' with bunnys and beauty queens Bangin' Springsteen's pleasure machines Makin' the scene, some say obscene Spent at the end of a hot summer day Lookin' for needles in tall stacks of hay Cryin' for someone whose gone far away She's the only one who could make it okay **** films and syphilis ruined my soul Glossy magazines I bought and stole Devoured my heart, left just a hole Juvenile lust has taken it's toll Dreamin' of Hefner's flesh colored lies Layin' my head 'tween some prostitute's thighs Numb and alone, how I've come to despise Can't wait until this part of me dies

Tick tock went the clock, echoing through monastery halls, synchronizing the actions of men, building up modernity’s walls. Creatively destructive, eternal yet fleeting, modernity was paradoxical, according to the Harvey reading. Art had expanded, abstraction arises, and Sigmund loves his mom, more than anyone realizes. Our friends the id, the ego and its super, tell us who we are, Freud has the world in a stupor. A catch-22 for dear Pablo, who will sleep with a **** but is terrified of syphilis, as is seen in his art. There was power and truth, and Foucault says we’re repressive, but suddenly things change, Postmodernity becomes quite impressive. PoMo cares not for beauty, or what pleases the public eye. It’s style for style’s sake, in the buildings stretching toward the sky. Uma dances with John, a young boy finds a severed ear, Joaquin loves his OS, PoMo film is, well, Queer. Yuppies love pastiche, their lofts were once a workplace, they’ve coated them with chrome, they’ve gentrified the space. Unlimited breadsticks have soiled the very Italian name, Baudrillard says it’s simulacrum, there is no truth, it’s all the same. We traipse through this postmodern world, not knowing postmodernity is where we are. We wear workboots to fashion shows, we worship that reality star. We think we’re special snowflakes, and skinny jeans make us cool, and media exposure’s made us cynics, quite impossible to fool. What we don’t realize is that we are not our own, we are pseudo individuals, through PoMo we have grown.

I met him at a dust-bowl bus station In Mobile, where buses wore dust trail capes. Roaches clicked in the water fountain basin. With charisma he denounced The muddled spray of birth and spring, The spermy apocalypse brought forth by an Army of mad babies with syphilis-splintered brains. He had gambled for three nights, Wonder and reason backing his chips — Small blind, big blind. He had the shoulders of a man who locks the door And hides the key — an invisible traveling carnival Trailed his gait on a pace-worn floor. Bed bugs had made Braille of his arm. He was going off to a camp south of Cabbage Town Where he would sweat beneath the sun, Surrender beneath the stars, And dream of the ten women he’d made. He told me he hated knowing he was in control, And that it was the saddest part of the darkest hour.

Now 20 turning 21 this month, but you don't realize the time and where it went until you reach a certain age. 20 still young but not as young when you think back to years ago. When i was 10 i thought my teenage and adult life would be filled with what we see on the movies, full of life, party and fun. But it really isn't like that, when you reach a certain age maybe for some what you wish you had may never become. Never being able to join the cool kids, go to parties to have sleep overs because you're not labeled as "cool". Time's have changed since back in your days, or our days. No more house parties as we used to see, just more reckless than what old generation of the youthful playful teens would be. I used to think drugs, parties, alcohol, loud music, *** and being popular would be cool, (isn't that what we all thought high school would be like?) but now i look back and think it wouldn't be fun to... die from drugs, puke from poison, carry maybe syphilis. But maybe being able to join a party or 2 and be a bit popular and be liked would be cool. Or would it?
