Visions
lay bare
in shadows
cast by the light
of the
gallows <pomp
(A victim &
of his own) circumstance>
-so they said-
He looked to the sky
as he
took his
last breath
&
let out
a
sigh
"But where was the Lie?"

I feel
empty prayers
sent
to an absent god
Unheard of
by others
Like rain
down on the
unkempt drifter
Storm clouds
Dark
pouring praise
on an
unworthy grifter
Preying their way
to a
full stomach
&
even fuller
pockets
Absurd
by any
other
standard
But here
we call it
Freedom

Perpetual Propaganda Machine
Updates on the hour
Scouring headlines
Deadlines approach
Like cockroaches
scatter when the light shines
like little rays of truth
Uncouth rebukes of a "hateful" nature
WILL NOT BE TOLERATED

In his rush to say
something prophetic
he said nothing at all
So they all trudged forward knowing that something felt "wrong"
but no one
dared question
the words of the chosen because that would lead
to the only outcome
they could be certain of
which was a terrifying end

What is on the horizon
needs to happen
Not because
I want it to
But because
it needs to
So
Everyone
(hopefully)
Finally
-This Time-
Can see
what happens
When
apathy
becomes
The Rule of Law
So
(hopefully)
-Next Time-
We never
do it
again

Devouring
all
She
made holy
Land
&
Sea
She
made it for me
But
not just for me
she
made it for you
as well
so
You
&
I
&
We
can be free
to
wander valleys
&
live
among trees
&
never
have to flee
the race like rats
Running
from cats
who live
to
feed
On
the souls
of
the
meek

Broken dreams
like
fences, falling
I was told
that
[god]
is calling
Crawling
like
hands
& knees
[t]he only way
that I
will
answer
[he]
will
have
to beg
for
my
forgiveness
This sickness
that
envelops
the ones who call themselves
"Saved"
-[they]-
Are the plague of locusts

The Pawn

#whistpr
Just before the Queen took Pawn
I saw him ponder his worth
Closing his eyes, Pawn breathes deep
He pauses to ask the Queen
What does life mean for a Pawn
If only to be nothing
But accepting that I am
Naught, but a Pawn in your game
/1
Inhale
Breathe
Exhale
Slow, death
rattle
Witnesseth
A final battle
For the soul of man
Much like cattle
[god] has a plan
Herd mentality
We graze on dying land
Fractured
reality
Revolutionary pain
Defying gravity
An illusionary rain
I can see the ascension

I am tomorrow-born A hyphenated Hell-scape Bound by the horizon Stuck in a time-lapse of a perpetually setting sun Visions of the future - reflections of the past thrown in a blender Chaos-controlled Like being strapped to an already out-of-control Merry-go-round Purgatory Oratory Cluster Bombs Tossed on an already burnt-out building 9-one-once From whence? I do not know Probably not in this lifetime I(t) do(es)n't even make sense But I'm not gonna lie It could just be the Weed
I suppose
I should probably
introduce Myself...

I saw children
with weapon
in hand
Who don't even understand
the war that they fight
or why Death
keeps them in sight
Each breath
labored
Cigarette
In hand
Stress smoking
An entire life lived
In just a few years
The graveyard shift
By year 13
And a grave to lie in
By year 18

The Eagle
wounded
and weary
accepts its fate
always too late
Discomfortably numb
to the constant barrage
of disinformation
This under informed nation
can no longer stand-
United or otherwise
Punch drunk politics
swinging wildly
To put it mildly
Shooting blanks-
Blindly

Fundamentallly
Understanding that
Chaos is
King, the
Immaculate
Neglected the
Grief of millions
Destined to
Articulate
Repetition, our
Kin conceded defeat
Clouds shedding a
Hellscape of
Acid teardrops
On ashes
Smoldering rubble
Babylon Fell

I saw the mighty
bow to the weak
and the angels cried
The One
so they thought he was
stood no more
The masses
No longer trusting
their eyes
All hope gone
so they thought it was
The quiet hush
spoke for everyone

I saw the
Scapegoated
guilty
Their crime
exposing the truth
Soothsayers
deciphering
layer
upon
layer
of ancient
metaphors
Historians
scouring
pages
upon
pages
of
revolutionary tales
labeled
Propaganda
Radical idealogues
drawn & quartered
for the sin
of an empathetic
heart

The first blast was brighter than any sunrise
I'd ever seen
Stunning
At first
beautiful
until
the realization set in
It was way too early for the sun to be rising that morning
no warning
No sirens
Just light
Then silence
I closed my eyes
And when I opened them
it was dark again
#SilkTheRevelator
Rock bottom gravity
pulling me down
I can only look up
Upward
I peek
But all I see
are peaks
of the mountains
bleeding oil
Gushing from wounds
left gaping
No bandage
could cover
Clouds shed
acid teardrops
on ash
Reigniting fires
and passions alike
smoldering
a proud nation
no more
