This Morning:

A Indigo cloud sank. Washing away my murky memories of yesterday
-Thank you Mister Indigo Cloud

A radiant sun followed. Illuminating this mornings mellow forlay
-Much obliged Mister Sunshine

Nostalgic tunes oozed from my stereo. Reciting only the most recitable fanfare
-Appreciate the timing Mister Music

Then to amplify the presence of my gratuitous present.
My grinder presents me with the wondrous odor of the high life
- You shouldn't have Mary-Jane


They say your attitude determines your latitude.
But your gratitude will determine your current attitude.
The troubles of this life are but temporary.
To receive happiness remember
There is much to be grateful for.
Believe. That it will be given from your heart to mind

Broken thoughts, Broken promises.
I remember you promised you'd be there.
The toxic waste
That leaks from your heart and mind
Poisons my remaining self-worth.
My sense of self validity
Vanishes.
Like a Copperfield canary.
You were my other half.
Now my circle of trust
Is simply an open parenthesis

And you get to witness the destruction of mankind
The manifestation of violence
The rise of crime
The chemically induced joy that deteriorates the mind
The cancerous legions on the soul that no doctor can find
The shaman surgeon with the power to freeze time
The emotionally famished family that uncle sam left behind

The monotonous chime that causes the suits and ties to burst into reanimation
The unmovable path of the bullet that kills without hesitation
The murderous gang-banger dining in hells kitchen with no reservation
The chains that bound the vagabond with no visitations
The gruesome violence on the silver-screen that is met with joyous elation
The exchange of video entertainment for a basic education
The deterioration of the young minds that's given little concentration
The beautiful flesh but empty soul that makes a living through fornication
The ****** spoils of war that leads to mental devastation
The death of good-will with no justification

And you will not witness death but morale genocide
Not of a specific person, but of certain values that are impossible to hide
And with only one man to confide, they will continuously choose what is not right
They will put down their crucifixes so they will have more hands to fight
And only for the wicked reasons will they unite

And you will witness them as they witness you
As you teach of accountability, as you lecture of love
But you will often be met with a deaf ear
But do not give up on those ideals that you hold dear
Because if you look to the edges of the earth, and then gaze above
Ask yourself: Where do I want to be when it is time to be judged?
But despite our ideals our conscience decisions proves the prophecies true
*We will be the death of mankind

I looked in the mirror today, and no one looked back
perhaps i was blinded by the shortcomings of my life
i looked in the mirror today and couldn't see my reflection
maybe i was blindfolded by the man who said i was loser, a coward, and would never amount to nothin,
i looked in the mirror today and sae the same void i witnessed everyday,
maybe it was so i could not behold the monster i had became,
i looked in the mirror today and believed i would see something,
and i don't really know why because i never really believed in nothing,
i looked in the mirror today and saw chaos and destruction,
and wondered what do i deserve in this world i do not belong,
i looked in the mirror today and couldn't see the tears,
why am i blinded by shame?
why am i consumed by fear?
why do i continue to look into a mirror when no ones there?
i looked in the mirror today and i spoke, i spoke words i didn't want myself to hear
i spoke honestly what i had shared was sincere
i spoke to my soul before a deity with crimson eyes appeared
i was done feeling ashamed! i was finished being afraid!
i was tired of seeing nothing everyday!
in that mirror i saw Satan himself,
the same face i woke up everyday hoping to never see
the shameful dishonest fear inside of me
the evaporation of my hopes of making life what i want it to be.

To the man with crimson eyes i found i had nothing say
so i shattered the glass and i walked away

I looked in the mirror today, and i saw peace
