Poems

Life

Death stakes me as I walk

Down the road that is my life

Newspapers blow in the wind

As if they were forgotten dreams

Windows into us

Bits ad pieces of my life lay scattered

all along my road

Other roads intersect merge or

just continua on parallel to my own.

And shards of broken glass remind us who we are

 

Death

Blood drips down walls

made of broken bone

and molten dreams

half mended solders

march on into there

new golden land

hate fuels new wars

as blood fueled fires melt

plowshares in to swords

giant skeletons hold

blacken infants in

there protective embrace

even as the protective shell

becomes there coffin

End of an Age

 

I sit here and pen this

As the end of our age

Fast approaches

Men predicted this for hundreds of years

And only a few got it right

What an honor

It was our own stupidity that led to this

Our fault

We lied to ourselves

We bombed each other

We taught our selves to hate

And now it strikes midnight and humanity shall not see the dawn

The last moments of humanity

And to think twelve years ago

We were afraid of Y2K

 

 

The Great Dance

Death and life perform

A kind of profane dance

A dance danced by

The living

The dying

And the dead

A dance of lies and fear

Of bodies and corpses

Cadavers grip the flesh of the living

Who lie to them selves saying they don’t know

Their so afraid of the pain

The pain of living

The dead drink blood from razor rimed cups

While the living refuse all sustenance

Preferring to huddle in the corner

Watching the dance go on

Shunning all who take part

The dieing cry mournfully

Not truly excepted by any

As they go they go to embraced

The living their shrugged away

The living still to afraid to embrace death

 

 

What the hell

Who, what were when

What the fuck is with all this.

The cats need drinking water

The huge immovable stones can come dancing tonight

The little purple men are in the fire

Drinking vodka

Dreaming of tall illustrious, volts

Wont you eat some more fried green cat?

 

What the hell

Who, what were when

What the fuck is with all this.

The cats need drinking water

The huge immovable stones

Can come dancing tonight

The little purple men are in the fire

Drinking vodka

Dreaming of tall illustrious, volts

Won't you eat some more fried green cat?

 

Ghost

The girls are in the

Bathroom, playing, shots

With turpentine

Giving the near by fishpond

The look of molten ebony.

The boys are playing Russian roulette

With uncle jacks revolver.

Making the Manson family look fine

And all it takes is mom saying

"Oh fuck, were did I put the Nerve gas"

To ruin all the fun.

 

Drink something, more.

Cyanide, arsenic

Anyone, come now drink up

Trepanation, anti-freeze

Poisons the blood of the soul

Come now won’t you drink to

Your health with us

No, well at least eat something

Uranium, plutonium,

Come now Decay is our sustenance

Rot our providence

Lead, mercury, Rat poison,

No well, take a breath, before

Your plunge,

Nerve gas, VX,

Come now we all must breath

Saran gas, Mustered gas, Chlorine gas,

Take the stone, push up those daises

In death we define our lives

 

Which witch was the one I killed?

I hate this

I killed the which the one

Who lives down the street but

Then witch just moved in next door

I put six in which’s head,

Three in the head and you know there dead

So she should have been good as dead for two right?

But no then Witch had to get up and move in

Next door

2 by 4 to the back of the skull?

Kitchen knife in the back?

Rat poison in her tea?

Gasoline in her teapot?

Gunshot to the face, oh, shit, no I tried that.

Hmmm…

How about burning the house?

Ammonia and bleach in her sink?

Straggling her in the bathroom?

Face down in three inches of water?

Barred alive in her garden?

Head in the oven?

Vacuum cleaner to her eyes?

Stick through her ears?

Nails in the temples?

Goddamn why oh why won’t she just die?

 

47,000 channels of shit on my TV

This Tele-marketer called and asked about

Installing some TV and we got some channels for 3 months free, plus free installation. Well living in America I should have known better

But I said hell yeah why not. Here is why not

I got 47,000 channels of shit on my TV

157 sports I got bowling ice fishing, poker, rock climbing, and running. Cause only in America do we watch others Exercise while eating junk

1,012 channels of People shopping with other people’s money, buying things they’ll never use.

1,369 channels of other people cooking foods, I’ve never heard of and that cost about as much as my new car.

1,356 channels of reality TV, cause my life isn’t real enough, like I want to watch other people get their home fixed, when mines falling apart, around me. Like I want to see there, built up drama.

2,482 channels of dumb shows and re-runs like seeing this crap the first time wasn’t bad enough.

2,079 channels of news spun the way 2,079 different groups would like it, how 2,079 want the world to be, how they wish it were, 2,079 channels of lies.

59 channels of educational material cause what we learn in school is force feed bull shit, that’s been watered down till the truth is some abstract concept like PI, or imaginary numbers.

5,069 channels of pay per view pornography, of lesbian strip party’s, hot threesomes, celebrates bathing, and barely eighteen year olds posing nude with toys for the first time. Beautiful twigs having passionate sex, that in all reality would probably cause them to break a few bones, and I get stuck touching my self to this crap.

23,616 channels of religious zealots preaching the path to salvation, can they all be right, can I be so wrong, who needs this crap anyway.

 

New years 2006

Midnight.

His victim was just paces away.

The first bell rung out.

He pulled out his knife.

The second bell.

He closed the space between them.

The third bell.

He grabbed her from behind.

The fourth bell.

He stabbed her.

The fifth bell.

He stabbed her again.

The sixth bell.

He stabbed her again.

The seventh bell.

He bent down and bit in to her neck.

The eight bell.

He drank more and more of her blood.

The ninth bell.

She was drained dry.

The tenth bell.

He felt youth rush back into him, he was young again. So what if it would only last a year, there were more people each year, it was getting easier the city’s grew each yeah what was one person among thousands, millions.

The eleventh bell.

He stood up and turned.

The twelfth and final bell.

One more year, this made it what, 657 . . . no 658 one more year, one more life . . .

 

End of an Age

I sit here and pen this

As the end of our age

Fast approaches

Men predicted this for hundreds of years

And only a few got it right

It was our own stupidity that led to this

Our fault

We lied to ourselves

We bombed each other

We taught our selves to hate

And now it strikes midnight and humanity shall not see the dawn

The last moments of humanity

And to think twelve years ago

We were afraid of Y2K

 

The Great Dance

Death and life perform

A kind of profane dance

And the dead

A dance of lies and fear

Who lie to them selves saying they don’t know

They’re so afraid of the pain

While the living refuse all sustenance

Preferring to huddle in the corner

Watching the dance go on

Shunning all who take part

The dyeing cry mournfully

Not truly excepted by any

As they go they go to embrace

The living they’re shrugged away

The living still too afraid to embrace death.

 

Orders

Stupid solider walking

Down the street

Stupid solider marching

To the beat

Stupid solider following

Orders

Stupid solider doing what

They say

Pull your self together

Be your self, not who they

Say you are

You don’t need them,

Fight the good fight

Everyone’s dyeing cause of orders

You going too?

Pull yourself together soldier!

When everyone else is gone,

You’ll need to lean on yourself

I am going to be gone long before

Anyone else is because

I am A solider

I am a hero

I will die for

My country

For all the right ideals

For all the wrong reasons

For all the lies

I am going to be gone long before

Anyone else is because

I am an army of one

Because I can do it all

Because I am an American

Acts of God’sSly fucker’s them

I hate them and they

Oh god don’t get me started

Or rather don’t stop me or

You’ll be the next in this train

Of cigarette smoke and body’s

Left for the cops to dig up

The next in my wake of one

Night murders

Of bloody axes and single shot

Guns of accidents and overdoses

Don’t fuck with me cause I can

Make accidents happen

Acts of god

Mother fuck

Don’t mess

 

Warining these might be "Love" Poems

All I know is I love you

I don’t know who it was

Maybe it was

Mr. T killed Mr. J in the study with the

Flaming underwear

Or maybe it was Mr. I C U P

In the bathroom with the plunger

The particulars of the event

Escape me now, but the whole point is

All I know is that I love you

Blood splattered the walls

And Mr. Whoever

I have given up on the name

Stood over the body of MR. J

And still all I can think of is

The flaming underwear and

Our conversations.

What comes after we talk

The parents are bitching,

The sky is a falling,

All hell is loosed,

The center can not hold,

And mere anarchy is loosed,

I am forced to say goodnight,

Though it pains me to do so,

I must take my leave of you, my love,

Though I do so with deep regret,

For I wish nothing more

Than to anything to be with you.

I can’t bring myself to hang up,

I sit and wait till I hear you hang up.

Listening to the CD you burned me,

And writing e-mail, and love poems,

You’ll never read,

Pounding out angry heart felt,

Poems, that’ll just be deleted.

I can’t bring myself,

To look at the pictures,

It hurts too much being with out you,

I can feel the tears right behind my eyelids,

Only for you would I cry,

Yet they never come,

The last rain of the year.

For you

This is the love poem I’ll never write

I think of you and I loose it all.

Knife blade stuck in his ribs and poison

Dripped into his coffee just as so much

Whisky for that early morning kick start

Bombs under cars tucked into mail boxes

Little packages of love waiting to explode bring joy

Burning hearts and me goddamn I’d kill him

Poison, Blade, Fist, Bomb, Blunt object, Gun

Thumbs up he lives, thumbs down he dies,

His life’s in my hands but yours are

Wrapped tightly around mine, caressing them

Blood and horse shit distilled, for four hours

Then distilled four more times

Cigarette ash heated till it glows

Orange then mixed with vinegar

Turpentine

Paint thinner

Bleach

Anti-freeze

Needles dipped in liquid love stuck in his arm

A needle full of congealed blood jabbed

Under the shoulder blade then hit four to six times

Forms a blood clot that travels to his heart killing him

Boil Sulfuric acid from a car battery boiled for 2 hours

Distill bleach till you get whitish crystals then mix with

Rubbing alcohol and Sulfuric acid and you get

Military Grad C4

Equal parts

Aluminum powder and iron rust

Gas and soap flacks

Gas and Styrofoam

One part diesel fuel three parts chemical fertilizer

The little men in my head sit at their desks

Thinking of ways to kill him

Goddamn I told you I would

And I will unless you’d rather, see a movie, have dinner,

Go out somewhere, oh fuck, it’s up to you

Cause your holding onto my heart like a hand grenade

 

love

Bleeding hearts of the world unite

The charge of the trenchcoat brigade

The grand finale

The fire works over the falls

Flaming tears and pink lace love poems

In overproduced cards with heart shaped candies

Like they mean anything

They make me sick

The cancer of our society

Come on

Can’t we say something original

Or are we to scared of the silent darkness

Has capitalist America sold us on

Half assed cheap high school relationships

We both want something more

So I’ll write my own poems

Cause fuck them

 

these are no longer love poepls.

 

Acts of God’s

Sly fucker’s them

I hate them and they

Oh god don’t get me started

Or rather don’t stop me or

You’ll be the next in this train

Of cigarette smoke and body’s

Left for the cops to dig up

The next in my wake of one

Night murders

Of bloody axes and single shot

Guns of accidents and overdoses

Don’t fuck with me cause I can

Make accidents happen

Acts of god

Mother fuck

Don’t mess

 

No names for the dead

No names for the dead

Nova & Orion

Robin hood

100% chance of fire storms

In Mordor,

To the east the great beast rises,

Flames and hate

The last days of man, have come and gone,

Are we here to stay?

We are our own worst enemy

VX, and Mustered, gas

Hiroshima, Nagasaki

Smallpox’s, black plague

All is fair in love and war,

It’s all a game,

Of chicken who will

Back down first It’s absurd

And Hitler’s winning

Stalin’s just got a full house

A pocket full of poses

And we all fall down

Bang bang bang

We’re all dead come now

Join the party in hell

All expenses paid

 

WAR

Dark gloom grows

In the night

And on the eastern front

It’s a pounding rock concert of death

The guns glow and the night

Is filled with screams

The bombs falling

The buildings are burning

And suddenly there is nothing we can do

All the innocent are dead

And the red buttons been pushed

All through this dyeing land

It’s Cold Night

The night of broken glass

The night of death

Disappearing in to night and fog

We have taken the step in to

Oblivion

We have started total war

One we can’t end

It’s our time

Our obituaries on the front page

The end of our age has come

Every ones a target now,

Death rains on us from the sky,

Hate fills the river,

Just as the torrents

Of blood cleanse the land

All hail the victorious dead

And

We

All

Fall

Down

 

What is going on here

What is going on here

Pyros living in wooden houses

Marxists with trust funds

38oz of pure healthy 10 times more

For free and don’t forget the

Wildfires, hurricanes, floods and the aliens

For only 12.29 a month higher is really

Better open 24/7 365 days a year

Except for some random days

6 different flavors

Chewy, creamy, yummy, rich,

Healthy, and fast food.

And hell just froze over so I’ll

Um be going out the door.

The conversations over and

I’ll yell theater in a crowded fire
