Crows

Although one might say that the crows deserve their due
I prefer to sit and talk with you, and to whistle away the hours
I much prefer to look into your eyes, it is such a lovely view

Although one might say that Reaper isn't so bad
I prefer to live my life without his shadow over me
I much prefer to breath in and be thankful for what I had

The Oracle

My face was bleeding

All the demons were sleeping
Those dark secrets that I was seeking

Where never meant for the worms a-creeping

The oracle stood up and flashed me a smile

Her red lips dripping with blood and bile

The oracle opened her mouth and spoke

Her sunken eyes were bloodshot from the smoke

Her words were like knives in my chest

She began to dance and to beat her breast

She screamed a scream of ecstasy

Her body fell limp in front of me

This One Time

I remember this one time

When your moustache blew off in the wind

And I remember this one time

When a penguin stole your unicycle

I remember this one time

When I stabbed you three times in the neck

And I remember this one time

When we were both tripping balls

And we stole a firetruck and crashed into a Hooters

There was a fire-

In my pants!

I remember this one time

When you were pole vaulting

And I kicked you in the nuts

And I remember this one time

When I held your dog under the water till the bubbles stopped

Oh, I remember this one time.......

But we both agreed to never talk about it again

And I remember this one time

When you really liked this girl

So I told her me and you were gay together

I remember this one time

When we both got tattoos of unicorns on our chests

And I remember this one time

When we swore we were the reincarnation of famous poets

I remember this one time

When we drank dirty dishwater

And then we puked our guts out

And I remember this one time

When we would only speak broken Korean

Burn

Build a bridge, burn a bridge

Find the queen, and kill the witch

Build a bridge, burn a bridge

Cheat the poor, and damn the rich

Build up a man, tear down a man

Kill him dead, and watch the light go out

Build up a man, tear down a man

Take his truth, and fill him up with doubt

Build a bridge, burn a bridge

Find the queen, and kill the bitch

Build a bridge, burn a bridge

Cheat the poor, and damn the rich

Quatrain #3

If you are going to cry; please shut the door

If you are going to die; please mop up the floor

If you are going to talk; don't be such a bore

If you are going to walk; don't make it such a chore

The Hunger

The dead body is stricken stiff,

The dark like the womb is warm,

Gaze greedily upon the slender form.

The left hand is shrouded in shadow,

The solitude like despair is crushing,

The bright face is not even blushing.

The man is kneeling before an obscene shrine,

The lifeblood is slipping through his fingers,

The emptiness returns now to linger.

The secret is kept deep inside,

He is preparing his own hell,

Retreating deeper within his used up shell.

The hunger bites back,

The desire cannot be satisfied,

His mind cannot be fortified.  

Wall Builders

Hold the hand of the like minded

Spit in the face of all those blinded

Hold Truth close to your Hearts

Let your mind go as the sound starts

Simplicity and elegance are the bricks in a crumbling wall

Arrogance and innocence are the materials of a larger fall

Gather yourselves together in haven of safety

Lock yourselves up in a warm prison of purity

Look on in silence as the dead begin to live!

Look on in wonder as the dead begin to breathe!

Look on in grief as the dead begin to survive!

The Flood waters rise high and deep

You are all safe, safe inside your keep

The Sun comes out, the waters rush away

The Sun comes out, and the dead live today

Come out of you hallowed and saintly halls

Why must you rebuild your crumbling walls?

Let the dead live in peace, and let the living die

Let the dead learn the Truth, and let the living die

Come out of your strong castles and out of your high towers

Go out into the muddy fields and dead tress they are full of flowers!

Don't go back to your wall-building

Let the Light shine through!

Don't go back to your wall-building

Let the Love come through!
