are those thoughts rippling



finally,
I was noticed,
at the end of a saber
that just barely
pierced my the wall
of my heart.
this isn't,
a love sick poem,
or a curse to a lover,
that didn't pay
any mind at all
i'm just being sharp.
I could be vague,
i could promise plagues
if i had nothing
nice to sayother than
i hope you're doing well.
no, no, no,
this is just envy
of malicious greed
that takes from every person
and harms the ones
in need.
i'm only strumming,
chumming
the waters
watching for predators
to come across
our borders.
the pain of our labor
from every original thought
glances the pages
of a volume
of a book that's already lost.

so when the thorn
breaks the surface
of my lotion lathered skin
just think about the piercing
from someone you called a friend.

well, well, well, you're lying







well
aren't we
tiny lukewarm raindrops
pounded by an endless number
of tiny raindrops
collecting down a drain.
well
we all live for something
until the dream of death is gone
or the fear of anonymity is
too far reaching
this is how we carry on.
well
the threat of living dirty
and dying in the streets
is a pack of smokes
and a tattoo away
water's rushing at your feet.
you can't fight the direction you're in
when you're falling down a well
the water's cold
and dark
you wouldn't think this is hell.
but you say
i'm fine, i'm great
the only problems
are the ones
I create.
things are only well
swimming in the well
when you sink lower
and water pooling is your fate.

From a Helping Hand to a Hex.



We're in the middle
but we don't now what
looking for an identity
something we can trust.
But every idea
that someone has
gets beat to the ground
and smothered in the grass.
We need someone to speak
for all of us
but can be discredited
after making a fuss.
Do you get what I'm saying
you're never pleased
every time you put a person
into the hot seat.
You can sit where you're safe
question and debate
pointing your finger
only to save your name.
There are only so many times
you can complete this charade
before your system crashes down
and your position unmade.
It's just that now WE
are catching on
and you are in danger
of being gone.
The old usurped by the new
who wont sit and stew
it's time we all knew
your fault your nightmare is true.

Get the switch, that dogs at it again



What does it mean to be a weasel?
Surely, you are familiar when a human is referred to as a weasel or being weaselly, but is that a bum rap for a weasel? Weasels are quite resourceful and resilient. Also, the wolverine, of which the animal like X-man is named after, is a force to be reckoned with...of the weasel family.
I think invertebrate or jellyfish may be more suitable, but then again, those creatures have survived on this earth much longer than us humans.
It's difficult to determine to say the least.
I'm thinking rat or cockroach, but doing whatever you can to survive is well...survival.
Hmm...maybe a song would help:
You don't sing like
a nightingale
more like a mule,
you're so confident
with your standing,
not knowing
you're a fool.
You bite the hand
that feeds
when you're touched
you bleed
barking, just barking
maybe it's a leash
you need.
Staked to the ground
you watch the world
spin round
and think making
an observation about it
is profound.
You, your ego,
and your accomplice
another head
for Cerberus,
what you are
just another guard dog,
for a bucket of piss.

Hide in the shadows

and in hollow trees

until you're scared off

by a few tiny bees.

Look at you running,

flailing your arms

all the while cursing

"I didn't mean any harm."

No one believes you,

no one to turn to

your three heads chewing

on the same leather shoe

that someone threw out

for a pile meant for the trash

if they catch that animal chewing

surely he'll get a lash.
