Powerless
numbness grips thoughts
crimsom heartbeats
are stilled in time
manly disbelief
Is corrupted

frozen
a narrow reed
of paper motions flutters
liquid in a summer breeze
freedom from fear
was within the acts
of letting go

Pain was an illusion
lost in a geniuses mind
held between a feather
and the deep blue sea,
a brittle scream
was a rally to arms
a blasted battle cry
of the broken soul battalion

A girl claiming to support animal rights,
wearing furred clothes on display.
Her sense of fashion came to light,
there's nothing left to say!

Cigarrette boxes bearing messages of diseases,
the company bearing a conscience today?
Too bad the addiction in those smokers
won't be easily cured anyway.

We yearn for peace and fine morality
but choose sex and violence for a movie.
Its just a break from boring reality.
Who cares if our children embrace insanity?

Rain slides flowing
gutter slush
while streaks of neon
fire spit and flux

Dandylions and roses
then our rubble
lifes scythe cut
down the wheat
and left its stubble
crayon made way to
pen
then Ink driving dipped
the needles a visual
link
pierced pains palette
tender winter flesh
each scroll of emotion
a map of ambrosial
sea

I am disconnected, a broken circuit...
With no light behind my eyes.
This apathy has made me certain,
Of where our untrodden path now lies.

Once normal glances turned suspicious,
Gazes avoided, emotions slide.
Attacks of isolation vicious,
I search for an abstract place to hide.

But these fleeing feet they find no refuge,
For my shield is now what shuts me out.
I do my best to try to reach you
But I cannot breach your wall of doubt.
