My anger is a gift.
My anger is a gift

And for, that you will not acquit me.

So judge me.

I get it,
You wanna stick up for the little man
But what are the terms and conditions
you got written on your hand?

Is that freedom?
Determined to rid the vermin
Hatreds poisonous venom
Annihilation of oppression
By concreting a standard that fits your balance?

Fascism
Disguised by liberal ways.
Cause the left won the culture war
And we must fulfill the agenda to save the day.

Or is it about the money?
With a buck in my right hand
And my left fist full of pills grasping in half prayer for rehab

They say I need help.
My mental status is high on bad health
I'm caged in my brain,
All 9 circles of hell
With no guiding light,
I'm always told to tread light
My heart beats questions,
my words start fights.

I am the snow storm of Capricorn
Loose chains around my neck

Pentacles
Cups
Wands
Swords

Astro-Tarot cross burns with no exhaust
At the bottom of the gate,
You can see my bones in Lucifer's mouth.

So why do I feel angelic?
My anger is prolific
Biblical scriptures leave me destined for heathen obsessions.

I am the division
No balance without permission
My air fuels fires and creates unison.

I am destruction
But  rebirth in the same phase.
Cycling the celestial waives
Swearing in God's name.

I can't be the only one
Who feels that condescending thumb
We must create a stage to fit the population
who wants to express their pain to his son.

But its crowded,
About to cave.
The weight of the world will be best defined in mass graves.

And here comes my gift.
My anger is my bliss.
I can't come to grips on why the world is the way it is.
I respect this age for hands raised in rage.
But I will be quick to slap down others who think they are center stage.
I'll break anyone's four walls and follow Shakespeare in a Socratic annoyance.

This is a moment of clairvoyance

Repeat these words with me and find a voice;

Solve
Coagula

Solve
Coagula

Dissolve the paradigm
To form a new life

Solve
Coagula

Solve
Coagula

My gift to the world
Is written on my arms.
kind of a mind dump, haven't written much lately so i decided to just try instead of festering. This is about frustration of knowing who I am and dealing with social Olympics of others and the political landscape. The "in the moment philosophy", most seem to indulge on when arguing to be right, but really the point has been agreed on, just like to hear themselves talk.
Anger is a gift that triumphs over subordination of current status. If you're unhappy and oppressed, dismissed, this maybe for you.

I've always wanted someone to hold my hand
and tell me I'm pretty.

I've always wanted someone to go on unplanned
travels with to far off cities.

I've always wanted someone to look at me
and smile like in the books.

I've always wanted someone to comment and be
blown away by my looks.

I've always wanted someone to see from afar
And want to be mine.

All my dreams, though, have been marred
And the stars never align.

She was like music,
and I longed to dance.

Her heart was the beat,
and I begged for the chance.

Her words were the vocals,
and I was put in a trance.

Her smile was the melody,
and I fell in love at first glance.

My girlfriend posted a picture last fall, I glared, smiled, she looked like a star, I commented, so beautiful.. my eyes were locked. “Twinkle twinkle” I should’ve thought, I worked real hard and banked the pay, my mind was racing from earlier that day, that photo I seen I can’t turn away.. I notice how I forget what to say. I check the post and my comment is gone.. I’m curious because it didn’t feel wrong?
I guess that’s when we change the song.....
The picture was posted her intentions weren’t focused
I liked the picture she posted that day,
Unfortunately i noticed it wasn’t for me,
That night she glared, didn’t feel right Every word started a fight
I’m not jealous but her phone there it laid, I picked it up and the picture had stayed. Active and full, of comments and love,
I smiled, I read, the comments turned blank,
As I read the comment from him.
blank.
Quick write, not really a great piece of work in my opinion but it speaks volumes to my situation, - finding out that there’s no trust in a relationship, it hurts.

Everybody honors Th’ Workin’ Man
With songs about the dignity of work
Poems, impassioned speeches in Congress
The latest book about worker housing

But everybody ignores that working man
Who builds the stage on which the singer sings
The plumber who makes the artist’s royal flush
The electrician who wires the elections

Everybody honors Th’ Workin’ Man -
But nobody honors a working man

It's only a shadow
Passing over
This darkened
Day of dread

Take my hand
Hold on tight
Rest your pretty head

Upon my heart
Upon my shoulder
Tuck yourself in deep

Take me down
To your garden
Between your silken sheets

I shall be your
Knight in armor
I shall be your muse

I will be your burning flame
Come and light your fuse
..........
Traveler Tim

Hope you feel better soon Sweetie

She said “Don’t forget you owe me one.”
Ninety-nine cent dreams
Maybe you can show me some
I’m up in the clouds again
If you need someone, call your friends
Clouded by all of this smoke
Seems the fires all we can understand
Your body looks like heaven
Caught up in a breeze
Riding the clouds feeling so free

As if every autumn leaf has fallen
As if everything that seemed eternal is going further away
You’re my fifth season
Because even if I try to see you
I can’t

To me you're still green;
Bright and beautiful

Our foolishness, is being hung piece by piece like laundry
Only the bright memories are *****;
It falls on me
Even if I don’t shake my branch at all
It keeps falling

Why won't you just stay with me?
