Satisfaction, a poor mans disease
greed's a rich mans
the standard of society
everyone tries to save face
see yours mirrored!
unearthed scars drenched in pus
concealed eyes engulfed in serum
disgusting disgust
the filth of enlightenment


save your truth, it's the biggest lie
men were designed lying
honesty never wins, the only truth
the curse of awareness, it's a broken gift
self-proclaimed righteous barbarians
creatures drowning in their righteousness


time, the greatest of mans creations
the virus in existence
a corruption in the cycle of life
a limitation of the mind
no view beyond the horizon
fear disguised in the illusion of more
a wound that never heals

MEDICATE

Let go! Give in!
It's a thought, no harm
personalities never change
this isn't one of those movies
'what I'm I thinking?'
okay, maybe not a thought
more of an idea
I'm afraid


he's hard to ignore
he's stronger; persistent & resilient
'relax man! You're the man.'
something brews, not booze
something crude, not good
it's the haste, screws with my faculty
I've been out of it too long
haste flanked me, I'm a thought behind
always a second too late


feels like a sick practical joke
truth is I haven't felt stupid in a long time
my mind collapsed, it's on auto-drive
'time for games man!' it's boast
ravaging my sanity with spite
my shied broke, I'm destitute of strategies
'being possessed by your mind'
a fine definition for insanity



I'm oblivious as ever
a character in my story
the world's revolving so fast
I'm fixed like eyes in pornography
I'm stiff, my concentration deflowered
I fear there's a storm coming
this situation is a blanket to a more sinister one
the thunder before my destruction
my defeat is inevitable
i'm turning into the savage i left behind
a fix is all i need

DEMOLITION


I see it; it stares back. Pitch black eyes under the sun.
it's strange majestic bareness; dull, blur, as it slowly sharpens.
This thing, a stone so close to life; My nightmare of my nightmares:
standing steel-still on an invisible throne, empty but whole.
A most peculiar view; infinite yet zero expectations.
Inside its fears, a comfort he always craved
warm, cozy, scary; indifferent!
those eyes again, no longer so vague
a hardly visible spark of pride, a flicker of ego
a shadow of a little scared boy too afraid to live
because he loves to live



it's posture shifts, a slight limp
radiant but less exquisite; exposed!
no longer the confident being he appeared to be
they don't barge; those striking eyes ever so telling
broken by belief; broken by life's ideas; those human things
hanging on optimism; the little grain that never fades
ideas of more! Slowly being swallowed up by pointlessness
beat & devoured


I see it; spiked, horned, decaying
there's a beauty in it's ugly monstrous face
Yes! I see it; strong but weaker.
Decorticated & shaved to it's truest bare self?
never wicked; misunderstood.
peeled of disguises? sparkling innocent eyes
blind in societal ways
blind to Mans repugnant primal complexion
it's unblemished essence, no longer man
something more

Ragnarok

I saw a mesmeric of stars gleaming in the night sky.
An unheard voice whispered to me of legends and ancient
dreams.
Of bulls and swans and mighty deeds, of bears and
ploughs, beasts and men. Many strange things, the like
of these.
The Heavens, the Hades, of warring Gods. The stars the
campfires of great hosts. An archer knocks his bow. The
tormented one rattles his chains.
The Asa the Vana sunder the night. Ragnarok, doom of
the gods. Runes are cast; fates are sealed. Men will die;
"��Will of the gods."��
Empty benches in great halls, silent, waiting; mead to flow
cup and horn. Dogs whine and slaver, wolves howl at the
reddening moon.
Ranks of swordslain sing death'��s song, wailing, gnashing of
teeth. Bards lamenting the fallen, chant dirges to the dead.
Burning pyres, entrance to the halls.
But there in the void, the stygian darkness, a malevolence,
an ancient foe, cast down by the "��All seeing, Odin one eye,"��
his frenzy replete.

Forgiveness

Time
the soul’s open wound
spills age upon the flesh
leaving wrinkles
and weary bones
to define the years
good
and bad alike

And as we travel
the days of life
from love
to pain
to understanding
and reconciliation
forgiveness is all we need
to others…and ourselves

=:smile: happy happy happy :smile:

what else does man need?

thank you

Sorrow filled clouds are absent today
Finally I can touch my lungs again
Hopefully I remember breathings rhythm
I can’t remember how long it’s been
How fast do clouds fade?
I know they just show up
So ‘A while’ in my best estimation
There’s pain in my chest
Probably the rust in my ribcage
Still, there’s this familiar flaw in the tune
I’m on a haste to take all I can
Breath after breath after breath
You never know it might just be a fluke
Why am I drowning in it all?
Fresh isn’t so fresh again
It’s sour, sweet & indescribable tastes
Wildlife are not as hard to tame
Clearly I’m a different kind of monster
There’s a strange pain stretching my brain
Strange thoughts of being buried alive
Shades of darkness falling fast
Bleeding nails less fingers, I keep scratching on
Nothing’s infinite; right?
Strangely suffocating but never running out of air
Quick to the trigger, cause & effect
It’s hard to be astute when everything’s so grey
Life’s just a giant vacuum bubble
Anchored in-flight & forgot I’m only floating
Remiss steps, cause & effect
Nothing’s perfect when everything lasts a second
Always in a rush to some place while going nowhere
Haphazard reptilian prospects, cause & effect

So days & nights come, go; for longer than I care to recall both sun & moon keep finding me here; stuck at a point yet on the road. These wastelands; the same in every direction; always nothing to look forward to & only nothing to look back on. I can'��t help feel like a weathering tree being defiled of leaves; Strange, how these little things we take for granted are the treasures hardest to come by & easiest to lose. "I'm not lost at the very least I try to believe but somewhere in my head there's an unsatisfied itch I just can't scratch away"...aren'��t we all?"�� ...

Emotions

It is
cold
darkness
rushing
towards
the shore
retreating
back to the
depths
of secrets

Blue
waters
painted
the color
of night
refusing
to remain still

There is
no solace
no safe haven
no calm
serenity
when you
are lost
in a sea
of pain








NICE

Hollow smiles, swallowed hearts
These empty streets stare at me like i'm a ghost
I watch in bewilderment, the evolution of human emotion
Like a screen, it plays-out in my eyes like a play; only real!
Slight waves & all the filthy handshakes they represent
A nod of the head in acceptance, i see what you really are
Underneath those neat faces, uglyness met ugly

We are strange, all in our own obscene ways
What's normal?
i search for peace in all my little awkward steps
Aren't we all?
Times like tides, tomorrows happen
Judgement dwells on the long gone
i'll find you there, thinking we are unaware
Careless words like you know everything there is to know
Speaking of things you can hardly spell
gearing up your mouths without brake
Breaking the cycle of what was to be a beautiful day
Suddenly its dusk at noon

A quiet mind, a gem in it's own right
Yet the most ignored of all valuables, my opinion
State of mind, the border seperating every emotion
Calculated to find the difference between me & you, in my mind
With all the barriers you try to build, all the excuses you try to make
Creating unwanted complications, trying to feed your supriority-complex
We are human!

Honest laughs aren’t so easy to find
it’s a treasure not so many find
just letting go & driving on through all the ups & downs
the kind of joy I found in you, simple smiles without thoughts
not as easy as you may think
the kind of generosity never found in all friends, that tiny little spark I’m in search for
I’ve come to realize I’ll never uncover this mystery of true-friendship

I’m torn between this friendship & resentment
I can’t wrap my mind around your tune, why do you have such an effect on me?
How comes you bring the best & worst out of me?
As much as I struggle to believe this dream is real
I still find myself wanting to drown here till time runs out on me

speak to me!
I find myself longing for those words that sync our mind like fruits from one tree
does the distance kill you as much as it does me? My wonders
do you feel as strongly about it as much as I do? I wonder
I think I’m evolving into a zombie trying to figure out miracles
these simple mysteries

It’s been a while since last I saw such a black & white view
The 90’s, I think was last I saw this scene play out on a screen
a little kid then, innocent & accepting
how far you’ve gone!
Trapped in between now & then, Boy or Man?
Like a stitch-thread drowning in blood trying to escape its cell of flesh
I Struggle to love or hate the overly awful familiar stench of blood
Climbing out of this grave, like differentiating pus from blood just by smell

I can’t bare the reflection of myself, I fear worse discovered worst
Like a well-cared for tree withering off, is it the care-giver or the weather?
The choice to blame is always plain
we are as much a product of ourselves as much as our friends
I wear my crown of shame with such pride, a man humbled by his deeds
the period between prescriptions & strength has left my mind on crutches

An itching man tight in straps, a mountain too steep to climb
how lovely things just get plucked off!
Withered yellow leaves of men drained dry, falling apart from a firm stem
beautiful like a hunters aim on a prey yet just as harmful
Bad men stubborn like weeds, I wonder why the undeserving remain on their feet
majestically I grief myself like I were someone else; This person I’ve become!

Past, Passed, pass, pus; so close yet so far away
the different meanings of such insignificantly significant words, logically & primal
how little wars like whether to awake or not can shape lives, wars bigger than a world at war
Attention! The difference between a soldier & a scholar; how equal minds can make such a fuss!
Of a song…
Some hear drums beat, guitar strings, violin tunes; some find meaning in the simple poetry.
A mystery I starve to solve, the impact of definition

A taste of my conflict, the wars I fight with myself
Where to land this plane? I find myself drowned in pain
why are our views defined by what we’ve seen?
Questions as impossible as man’s so called beautiful view of the stars
Complex like complexion & perception; Then there were racists & cultures
Language perceived verbally and mentally, the difference in interpretation

My jaws clench, my eyes sting
A pain crosses my face and drops
To my feet, as if my heart has fallen
And it rocks side to side before resting still

I stand still because moving will change nothing
I cannot change the direction of the wind
I stand still, I do not lean into the wind,
I am not pushed by its force
My actions will change nothing at all

I give into the fear and the sadness
Just long enough to feel it's edge
The edge that, like a razor, shaves off
What is not necessary off of me
Cuts who is not good for me, off of me

My surrender is my only choice
This choice that fills empty hopes
A river of surrender carves out
My soul inside, grows a great canyon inside me
A new universe with it's own moon and sun
I will do nothing while what is done
Gets done


So black yet white

Migraines, a result of an attempted rescue from confusion & insanity
Thoughts cutting through the fabric of time, mines exploding inside my head
how did I get here?
Were there warnings I did not see, bells I didn’t hear
what have we here, a shadow of a man
soaking wet with regret, somewhere along this way it lost sense

paranoia camouflaged in carefulness & precision
benevolence, where does it rest?
I hunger for the so called way, wild as the west
literally gifting indecency with worse
The beast caged in my best, a price I pay every moment I’m awake
uncaged underneath the dark of my eyes, euphoria, betrayal, hate
the chaos of my peace of mind

Trouble, its not getting a pistol corked on your face
it’s the transition between good & bad men
A slippery state of mind, knotting hate & love on a lace
Finding balance in a pair of different shoes, where madness finds its name
these strange songs familiar to all but understood by troubled few


I'm lost within a deep breath, forgot to move my chest
breathing isn't unconditional for all, sometimes thoughts re-wire a brain
some view by eyes, some mind and some heart; Very few weigh a view
others dissociate, others disappear, others actually change
My conscious or the unconscious, I'd like to know who to blame
These actions are not mine but neither are they my enemies
As I contemplate somewhere a conflict ensues

What I do not understand is;
How an angry ugly truth,
can stand behind such a mellow view.

I think they call what you describe as an ugly truth behind a mellow view as being a form of passive-aggressive... JMHO...
