Anxiety

Writing down my woes
Writing down my prose
Writing everything I need to close
Watching out the window as the raven crows

Ignoring the negativity from my foes
Anxiety, PTSD, and Depression are not what I chose
Right now everything blows
As I'm hitting those days of lows

Heart beating fast and heavy
Here I am waiting for the levy
Everything becoming wavy
As I head down to the davy

Might be acting crazy
At least it's not lazy
Yet everything becomes hazy
Might as well call Dick Tracy
Lost myself in the Documentary of Buthelezi

Everything is worse 
Feeling like everything is a curse
Where it comes to the hurse
The threat of the Plight of Society
Amplifies my Anxiety

Calamity

Staring at a blank page
Waiting for the performers on stage
Contemplating if it's worth my rage
Starting to light the sage

Trying to keep calm
As the muse left my palm
Watching her apply lip balm
As she recites that psalm

Life just isn't the same
I feel like I went insane
When everyone has treated suffering like the hunger game
Yet who do we blame

If I could speak without being silenced by tyranny
I would tell all without the irony
How life should work without the felony
If things worked we'd live in harmony

Yet I consider silencing a blessing
Stops the masses from their moronic session
Gives the minds time for resting
Relaxed and we can start testing
Without cops doing their arresting

World in Chaos Mode
With ignorance further to erode
As singers of this age start sounding like a toad
None of this is showed
Wither Time none of it flowed

Wishing for Amity
As everything has turned to Calamity

Fact Sheet

Ask the Question
The school will be in session
And I have the lesson
I don't mind the confession
People have an obsession

I am an open book
With no hook
Stop listening to the crook
Their all shook

I don't have a record of crime
I never asked for a dime
I work on my own time
Now listen and fall inline

I spit the truth and facts
While other people use acts
Of Words to use as attacks
They've fallen through the cracks

My Love is for Animals, Dogs, and Cats
Even bats and rats
These are facts and that's that
Keep up and stay on track

My animals were never abused
That's a rumor they used
Without evidence they kept me accused
They keep lighting that fuse
I don't bow down, they wanted me to follow, I refused

I had to give up my companions
I used No-Kill Centers
Here I am looking over canyons
Had to move away now I'm one of the renters

I'm not the bully
Reputation be sully
Bridges burnt fully
Here I am trying to use a pulley

Picking myself up and repair
Proving what I do without fear
If they take notice I don't care
It's my story and I will share

All I did was defend myself and my family
Must be rough for you, waking up clammily
All those lies you spew with the aid of blogs
All you do is act like trogs
I'll do me and lift the fogs

Yet here's a little cheat
I'll not repeat
Instead of being a creep
Message me and I'll give the fact sheet

Freedom We Cry

No one is free
No matter which Political party it may be
Why can’t anyone see
They all make laws and decree

This is why militias form
Before the coming storm
Even those sitting in a college dorm
We’re wriggling like a hooked worm

Under the thumb
Under their gun
Keeping People Dumb
And it starts young

Life is on repeat
Isn’t that cheap
Wouldn’t it be nice to cheat
To hit the reset just for our freedom to keep
It Will never happen with all these sheep
Now it’s hard to sleep

With all these ideas in our mind
On how to rewind
And educate the masses on how to be kind
The idiot cure we must find

 Running out of Time
Yet they work on everyone's dime
Our Tax dollars at work and noting is fine
The whole system is one big crime
All-day I could spit this rhyme

 Wise beyond my years
Suffered so many fears
Shed and wiped so many tears
Yet people never showed any cares

Where do we go from here
When Tyranny is everywhere
And all we can do is stare
Ignorance is what we bare

 No matter how we may try
We’re still living under the lie
When all we want to do is Fly
As people rise, Freedom We Cry

Rise Above

Something Wicked This Way Comes
With the marching sound of war drums
Whilst fingers and feet go numb
Coldness rising with every step
Making everyone feel inept

Hell hath risen
Demons around trying to make this our prison
We need a leader with a quick decision
Someone with the vision
To stop this division

Drowning among the ignorant
Things they speak are so incoherent
Waiting for the day when things become more apparent
Especially when everyone is living in the lies
Caused by the dividing tides

Oh how I wish people could push past the ignorant hate
Where Humanity could change their doomed fate
Yet they stew in the malicious mind state
While the whole world has to wait

For the rest to be educated
Wouldn't that make people elated
Yet here we sit deflated
While everyone has debated
Society is Castrated

Constantly rubbed the wrong way
With subliminal messages of Obey
There will be a day
When push comes to shove
The people will Rise Above

Twilight


Reminiscing memories like a fairy would dream
Just as if it were out of a movie scene
Colors blending looking so serene
Hidden though and the populace has never seen

The colors, the quiet, and the beauty
Protecting this fantasy reality is a duty
Different pleasant smells, floral and fruity

Elves and Fairies Dance
While Deer and Elk do prance
Don't blink because you won't get a second chance
You can only see out of the corner of your eye, and only at a glance

Take a seat and stay awhile
Hear stories that make you smile
Forget about the paperwork you need to file
And the numbers that you need to dial

Leave everything behind
Take a rest take some time
Have imagination and know everything will be fine
Taking a slight vacation is not a crime

Sunlight is slowly disappearing
Clouds are clearing
As the wood nymphs start cheering
Night times is nearing

Heart steadies as the forest becomes bright
Being swept away by pixies and needing to hold on tight
There is no Plight
In this hour of Twilight

©2021 By M. Robbins

Lights Go Dim

I have refused forever
yet he was clever
Or did I wise up, I don't know, what came first so whatever.
Yet here it is, my body to be severed

With a fake chemical warfare
Don't look don't stare
Take the Injection
And the body starts the rejection

Hit like a mack truck
Screaming What the F.ck
This really does suck

People saying I'm crazy
Yet I wasn't lazy
Even while hazy
I did the research
With a quick lurch 

One-shot and down the next day
In my bed, I do lay
There isn't much to say
So here I will stay

Tylenol, ibuprofen knockout
never thought it would happen
here I am clapping
yet not a shout about

I got the sleep
without a peep
slumber so deep
he thought grim did reap

yet still I suffer from the side effects
making me think I have defects
yet only to find a weakened virus was in the vaccine
j&j keeping it from the public
should I cause the scene
it should be logic

The reason I was hit harder
Weakened LIVE VIRUS
Thought doctors would be smarter
Yet here it is spreading like an old Siris

Patience wearing thin
Can't even begin
There the lights go dim

World Confused

Nothing feels the same
When everyone has gone insane
Acting like the end of days
In and out of the phase

I’ve seen the idiotic craze
Looked like people are in a daze
Gasoline in bags of plastic
Car is going up in flames it's f’ing fantastic
Sweet sweet karma found
Everyone comes tumbling down

Hate begets Hate
People think it’s too late
I guess that's the human fate
Truth there is no time to debate

Racism doesn’t exist
Yet you can be a colorist
Hating for color is like a cyst
Needs draining
And the masses need retraining

People sitting in misery
The rest is history
Yet you're supposed to learn from it
instead, you repeat and throw a fit

Lost in frustration
You are an example and a Demonstration
If you’re old and disabled your fired
Forget about being retired

Being used
Feeling abused
Reality refused
Only to find the World Confused

Overdose

Take another hit
Another sip
Another night to quit
People don’t understand and throw a fit
Right now this is my darkest pit

My monster is awake
Watching for my mistake
As the earth does quake
Just one more take
I’m not in the best shape
Everything looks fake

Screaming in my head
Wishing I was dead
My Monster is not well fed
And home he did sped
All while I’m in my bed
In pain and I dread

Doped up on pain medication
Seems like a vacation
Understand I feel everything its damnation
On days like this, I can’t deal with the duration

Knock me out, please
I want to go through life with ease
Pain doesn’t cease
Doctors just increase

Forcing the hydration
As they make quotes in their notation
I’m under dictation
They can’t understand my frustration!

 It doesn’t work, I scream
It’s the same old theme
Medicate, Medicate Medicate all in the bloodstream
It’s your depression, no the pain is extreme!

I’m losing my mind
And running away from being confined
Smile and Laugh on the outside I am fine
Crying and screaming on the inside every time

Doctors wrongly diagnose
You all are cutting it close
Just wait I’ll be engross
With the wrong prescription leading to an Overdose

©2021 By M. Robbins

No ones hero

Cold With No Care
With a thousand-yard stare
From a personal battle
It made the mind rattle

Became damaged goods
Now wearing hoods
Just to cover all the scars
Raged up behind mental bars

No support and all alone
Refusing to pick up the phone
Rattling on like a dog with a bone
With a light skin tone

Yellowing of the eyes
People I do despise
When there is never the truth, only lies
Only trying to keep my head up and rise

People always staring
With a lack of caring
Always Judging
Yet never budging

I can’t save you
You burned the bridge
You are screwed
Leaning too  far over the ridge

Out of Dinero
You labeled me a Zero
Rank is Spiro
Yet I’m No ones, Hero

©2021 By M. Robbins

That Nightmare

Sometimes I stare at a blank slate
Waiting for my muse to inspire
So here I patiently wait
As I watch the time expire

Memories Come To Me Of The Past
the ones where I Shed a Tear
I have issues that people fear
It’s a stigma, yet it won’t last

I’ve been here before
While hitting the floor
Only to settle a score
While they shout at me Rotten to the core

Ostracized for speaking Truth
I sit in my own little booth
Watching and waiting
Knowing people need educating

I have a Fact sheet about me
People will not see
No one is ready
Yet keep it steady

If you walked in my shoes
You’d know the pain
You’d ask how I keep it restrain
It’s not something I choose

Doctors made it a mess
And they refuse to confess
That’s how Texas is
Now snap crackle pop and fizz

Disable for life
And I cry
Even when I try
everything is in strife

Painkillers that don’t work
Waiting for the legalization of a plant
Yet people want to be a jerk
Not like I can get a spine transplant
Doctors won’t give a surgical option
Or should I say that Swaption

Pain so severe I’m nauseous
Eating has to be in a state cautious
I don’t easily scare
Yet I’m Living that Nightmare

©2021 By M. Robbins

Facepalm

 

I don’t fit in with Millennials
Too young to be Generation Xer
They label me with the Xennials
As if they can make me feel lesser

These labels mean nothing to me
When my mind is drama free
Yet all I see is ignorance
At the governments' convenience

Stop playing their game
Stop spreading the flame
It’s Time to reclaim
Your original Name

Denounce the labels they gave
It’s time to face the world brave
Tell the truth don’t take it to the grave
Expose those who are deprave

Educate the true history
Educate the masses
Stop making schools leave it a mystery
Seeing the result, making people look like asses

The corrupt are building the bomb
Where everyone is not calm
People are going crazy
While others are being lazy
Depending on the non-free money
Everything is like a demented bunny

Falling for the illusion
Living in the land of delusion
There’s only one conclusion
Speakers needed for the diffusion

I have one qualm
Government lies
Ignoring peoples cries
All I can do is Facepalm

©2021 By M. Robbins


Black Sheep

 

Hiding in the background
Ostracized by society
The dirt we found
making someone else have anxiety
You may not know it, people are see-through
The things you learn when you have a front-row view
Karma comes time to pay what you owe
Quickly now before secrets blow

Walking on pins and needles
While outsiders walk free
We can see you
We start to wheedle
Baby bird just flew

They will learn the lesson
And consider it a blessing
Nothing like a good old confession
To free you from transgression

Still, the outsider looking in
and patience is wearing thin
This is a game no one will win
Yet we’ll keep the grin

Secrets I can keep
Until it needs to be spoken
Things will get broken
Because of us black sheep

©2021 By M. Robbins


Idiocracy

We are women hear us roar
We bear the daughters and the sons
We are a teacher, mother, and cook
Yet men try to control us
Our rights are nonexistent
So sorry to bore
Stop treating us like nuns
Not all of us want to sit down with a book
Let's start to discuss
We can be persistent

We demand equity and equality
We demand fairness in every aspect
It’s a human right
We’re ready to put up that fight
Stop the frivolity
We’ve earned the Respect

Our Body is not yours
We’re not your maid do your own chores
We’re not a baby-making machine
Comprehend the word NO
We don’t belong in the Kitchen anymore
Let’s go women it’s time to wean
This is the future, not the time before
We’re not bitches, whores, or a hoe

Men have created the Stigma
I fight for everyone guess I’m an enigma
Dropping lines that make people stare
Yet they’re not comprehending or just don’t care
The schools need the health education
So many are ignorant of what is a period
I shouldn’t have to use justification
The uneducated grow to a myriad

Women fight to keep their position in power
Men can’t stomach the intelligence of women
We’re supposed to be this delicate flower
We’re just supposed to go quietly and dimmen
You cannot silence our voice
It’s our word and our CHOICE

Men are trying to make it an Ochlocracy
We live in a Republic-Democracy
Yet there is constant Hypocrisy
Even in the age of Technocracy
We have Idiocracy

©2021 By M. Robbins 


Interruptions

Gone gone gone are the days of old
Welcome to the Era of the uneducated
With the technology and information at their hands
Yet they force people to fold
Cancel everything they dislike
When will Boomers and Gen X be like Rubber bands
Pull back, aim, be bold
Strike and take back the commands
This generation is still riding that trike
I feel as though our Xennial Generation is being berated

Things we found funny they find Offensive
We learned to laugh at ourselves and each other
Oh how I wish for the 80s to make a comeback
People were chilled and relaxed
No no no Cancel this Cancel her Cancel him and CANCEL THAT
Things were cheaper then, now it’s expensive
Everything is higher-taxed and getting axed
Just want to take these brats and give them a whack
Yet that’ll do no good, just roll my eyes and say Oh Brother

Society is beginning to look like the Demolition Man Movie
Soon to be ban Chocolate, Coffee and nicotine
Nothing in this Era is groovy
Oh wait, Nicotine is on the chopping block
Please oh Please turn back this clock
Put up the smoke screen and make a scene
Make a lousy speech about saving the children and drop the mic
Were congresses drink spiked?

I swear they live under a rock or are very caved
The facts used for the bill are outdated
This bill became quickly escalated
Vape is safer and has lives saved

Again, CANCEL CANCEL CANCEL
Don’t even bother to conceal
We’re living in Tyranny
With babies at the reigns
With a very religious Chancel
Please gives these kids education so they can use their brains
Stop making facts and truth out to be a conspiracy

Governments have too many corruptions
Stop sitting in silence and complicity
Stop seeking fame and publicity
Start with doing something and take the action needed
Experts have warned yet it’s never been heeded
Now we deal with constant interruptions

©2021 By M. Robbins

Conspiracy Theory

 

Life has become dreary
People have become weary
Spinning threads of chaos
As people scream Pay us
With the populace being impostrous

Living the life of a sloth
Not right in the head to cut the cloth
Attracted to the light like a moth
Keep screaming give the money
The government became your honey

Society refusal to work
It’s like a brand new quirk
Facts became lies
Yet it can be seen with society eyes

Keeping eyes wide shut
Looking away and up
People are cracked and insanity has a pulse
Shaking, money can now convulse

Nothing is right
It’s a long ride hold on tight
Creeping on society blight
Humans put themselves in the plight

They sipped on chlorine
They sipped on absinthe
Opioids are a chemical
Weed makes everything pain free and serine
While the drink makes your mind absence

Deep Research and Thought
Makes the community riving in fraught
Speaking the truth without protecting gets you fought
Be wary not to get caught

Your facts are too scary
You’ve been canceled
Too late to be concealed
Truth is a Conspiracy Theory

©2021 By M. Robbins

Nothing

Acid pours from my veins
Down the blood rains
Hiding only empty tears
With no open fears

Scared for life
As a Stepford wife
This is too legit
Never to quit

Darken dreams
And darken screams
Pile of bones
And angry drones

No way home
And all alone
Bloody and beaten
Bugs being eaten

Chilling looks
Blogging hooks
Enemies die
Friends lie

Singing the song of bluffing
As I wait for nothing.

Lethargic

Talking shouting yelling taunting
going through my mind like a Manchester haunting
screaming at my peak
which made me look weak

petty cruel intentions
I’m the master of my own devices and inventions
chaos anguish blood
and still, people treat me like shoe crud

Plan the Pain
Let it Rain
Keep the bloodstain
It's a battle scar it's not a shame

See me how I am
not how I was
Looking at me like a slaughtered lamb
all the reasons but just one answer because

So many sighs
And no replies
Have urges that are going unfulfilled
and I have been billed

Ramblings of a mad lady?
That is too shady
Let me vent and scream
I'm tired of a bad dream

No escape for the weak and weary
only a peak of the insane and dreary

©2008 - 2021 By M. Robbins

Distraction



Things that need to be done
Things that need to be said
Things that only I dread
Only time can tell and there is only one

Watching Music, Movies and Drawing conclusions
Only to land up falling down the hole of illusions
Nothing is real in this space
Reality is just a head case

Nothing is normal
What is Formal?
Thoughts, Ideas, and dreams
Nightmares, tossing, and screams

Scattered mind
Scattered thought
Grab a net for my feelings to be caught
For me to get back I need twine

Falling deeper into the abyss
Feeling on my lips a demon kiss
I have no attraction
Demon won’t get satisfaction

I’ve already been twisted
The memo they have missed it
Look at this and caption
It’s a distraction

You're My Poetry

You're my poetry

Your eyes, like nothing I've seen before,
I just can't help but to adore.
Your lips, sweet to the taste, soft to the touch.
When you kiss me I shiver so much.
Your smile is like that of a new love that's truly something I look forward to,
Your body, how can I explain? you feel strong.
For me, I feel safe, where nothing will harm or go wrong.

You're my poetry, Just like Floetry.
You're like my red wine, oh so fine.
The taste, your smell, and your feel.
I can tell, this is the real deal.
Like a fish on a hook, you reel me in.
Life will begin.
and my feud will end,
Because I found a perfect love and a perfect friend

All my life, I dreamed for you,
The day I found you, the dream came true.
Every day, I thank my god that I have you,
Found you, I want to hold you, love you.
keep you as my own secret,
which I can keep it.
Hush. Let's not rush, take it slow, steady pace
So I can see your face, hold me in place
Never let me go, so tears won't show.

You're my poetry. The dance, the glance, and the chance.
To prove your worth everything My song, for you, I sing.
My chance to ring out, and rejoice, any place any time.
Because it's all our choice.
We share one voice, and one love, and one mind,
body, and soul. we share our control

You're my man, my mighty king.
Not just a person or a one-time thing.
You're my sunshine, even when it's grey
I could switch religions just so I could pray.
You're the sky so vast and blue, And I'm the white clouds in your chest,
I'm a river clean and pure, Who, in your ocean finds her rest,

You're my poetry My muse, my inspiration.
The evil temptation, yet a good fascination.
My knight, my robin hood, and I red riding hood,
whos heart you stole, truth is told Because once in a lifetime, someone had to shine It's about time, that it was you and I.

Even when I'm with you, eternity is a step away
And the love I share with you, Grows,
with each passing day Everything I could ever say
Or even do Can not compare to how much I'm in love with you
For you're my poetry.

It's My Depression

 Disintegrate the life from within
It destroyed even my kin
It crawls inside of my mind
I see darkness I am blind
It took everything away
It took the sanity and the joy

This monster can not be swayed
I became its toy
It left me with nothing
It left me feeling empty

I am a husk the shell is hollow
I am worse off than when I was found
It has forced its life bound
It hides deep inside
Coming forth like a riptide
To surface when bored

There's no Ripchord
No choice yet to follow
I know it will never be gone
No matter what medication
It's using my mind as a vacation

It waits for a perfect time to attack
to take all that I have worked to gain back
I hear its claws scratching there
Anger, anxiety, and stress feed it
Yet we dare not speak of the thing

Nothing just a blank stare
It became the mind king
It now rules this space
The monster has no face

It can shift into anyone
I feel as though my life is done
People don't get the impression
This monster is my depression.

The New Year

Another day another dawn another night
Though the future is not insight
A nation divided per civil unrest
New POTUS decree seemed to be blessed

Yet all the words and the fancy-dressed
Leaves bitterness and disdain
The Old POTUS was the bain
Long road ahead and it is pressed

Our Nation does bleed
With racial injustice
As the cancel culture cuss us
Yet still, he will lead

Give him a chance we declare
As we gave Satan his due
Yet everything he did was unfit
Still see the blank stare
They yet have no clue
That they too shall benefit

I doubt they care
Yet we still with it bear
As they all glare
Shouting its Unfair

Welcome people without fear
For it's The New Year.

America Is Drowning

 Rebel against tyrannical leaders
Beat the drums of Justice
As the POTUS ignores the bleeders
The world is with us

Exile the child King
The world does shout
Let Equal Rights Reign Ring
Wash away the doubt

Being Black is not a crime
Being Native is not savage
Being LGBTQ is not a sin
Racism wastes time
Racism equates to life ravage
Bigotry is Lucy's Evil Twin

Yet Evil Sits here
Evil Feeds on all
People continue to fall
We fall under tyrannical fear

Keep pounding
Keep breathing
People Seething
As America is drowning

The Unknown

 Tragedy has struck the people
it looks as though Hell has a sequel
As satan chimes in, he has no equal
The reigning of evil so lethal

Bells are tolling in surround sound
Nothing has been gained yet everything found
Both parties continue to go around
Eventually, someone will go down

Like Highlander, there can only be one
Clouds are darker and thick
As he screams four more years and I'm sick
we want the nightmare over and done

This is the reality of hell
America is not free it's just a shell
This is one of few I can't condone
Seeing as our future is the unknown

Monster In Law

 


Monster In Law

Hypocritical and Cruel
The queen psycho is at it again
Using our child as the tool
Using Cps like a cackling hen

Filing False Complaints
Acting as one of the saints
All Cases closed and found no fault
Still, she calls
Everything she says, take with a grain of salt
She has no balls

Can’t even face me
Tries to Stab me in the back
Uses everyone to attack
Spreads rumors and gossip
She doesn’t realize I can see
Does she think she’ll profit

Years of Torment
Years of keeping her son blind
Years I can’t rewind
Years he wishes he could have seen
Yet it only took one event

Now I suffer from a new PTSD
Freak out with door knocks
Freak out with bell rings
She planted that seed
Watching all the clocks
Waiting for what the next day brings

Moved Miles Away
Moved across the states
Hauling Memories in crates
Nothing you said will sway
He will no longer Obey you
He now knows you’ve been untrue

I didn’t take your son
He made his choice
We have our own Son now
Instead of being a loving grandma, you’re a devil
Our son is our only one
Why must I be the reasoning voice
I will stand up tall and not bow
Cheaters don’t prosper
Lies always get found out
I don’t need to yell or shout
You’ve become the monster level

You painted my character as an abuser
You painted my personality as SATAN
You painted my family as sinners
I question the accuser
No Evidence and Blanket lies
Let's get the facts Straighten
There are no winners
Just time and how it flies

We are VICTIMS of your words
Victims of your actions
You’ve created the Nightmare
He only wants to talk for an apology
You showed no empathy
You showed no remorse
Kept the subject changed without repeat
Do the math there are subtractions
Now I have the thousand-yard stare
You keep beating that dead horse
From me, You get no sympathy
Flying away like a hummingbird

Alone you will be forever
All because you thought yourself clever
Lies will not divide us
All your ideas are a bust
Your son doesn’t have trust
That’s your fault, not mine
Lies and deception is YOUR crime

Blocked number and email
Blocked off from having our address
Blocked for eternity
Bridges you have burned down
My Grand-kids will hear this tale
They’ll be warned about this mess
There will be no Alternity
You can keep your psycho crown

You’re the master of your downfall
You are the Monster In Law

Paralyzed

 living in constant panic
living in constant fear
Always fighting off the manic
Always hiding the tear

living day to day on pills to control emotion
This is permanently a cripple life
My head floods in waves like the ocean
Yet I rather play chess with grief.

Sanity keeps slipping away
Feels like nothing will sway
My tears turn against me
Stinging like the salty red sea

Today is not my day
I can't keep the PTSD at bay
My name is depression and anxiety
Thus my body has become a snack variety

Will I be up or will I be down
All it takes is a startling sound
Just take me to be sterilized
yet Here I am paralyzed

©2020-2021 By Mary Robbins

Where I may slumber


Now I lay me down to sleep
Where I see demons creep
Fighting hard to have a soul to keep
Torn asunder my life in blood seeps

Depression my old friend
The Demon that brings my end
The thing that plays mind games
The thing that tortures with emotional pains

I am miseries puppet show
All of the chaos through me will flow
Darkness will consume from below
Negative thoughts only make it grow

I have nothing left
I am broken
Without breath
No word was spoken

The ground shakes with the passing thunder
The ground splits and hell revealed
Down on knees, I appealed
Yet that's where I may slumber

We have all been bound

 Lights go dim as eyes close shut
The body lies paralyzed and stuck
feelings of drowning grow
This last candle out with a blow

Nothing is the same
People treat life as a game
Hurting innocents until they scream
Everyone begging for this to be a dream

Reality has fell
This is humanity's hell
The bell has toll
Don't follow the fol

We need a leader
Instead, we get humanity's bleeder
Planting seeds of destruction
With his lawless obstruction

Liar in chief
A common thief
Sadly people are blind
Gullible of mind

Still, we drown
The truth-tellers are down
They speak with no sound
We have all been bound.

Swept away

Withering away in pain
Say it now say it loud
See it doesn't let the day wane
The roar of the crowd is your shroud

All the hardships faced
All the emotions erased
100-yard stare without a kill
Death is just tacking to the bill

You owe him and he will reap
All possession you can't keep
Your ego fed now to percolate
Now fans do speculate

Did you take your life
Or was it a betrayal
The weapon was a butcher knife
The wound upon your neck fatal

Fame dies when you top
nowhere to go except down
No more bubbly to pop
You dawn on the broken crown

You have no more sway
Death has swept away

High Life

Looking to the night sky
Looking at the billion stars
Looking at the smiling moon
Oh the beauty of it all

The weather is getting warmer
Summer will soon be here
As we stare at one another
Wishing we could turn the clocks back
Wishing we could be youthful again

Yet everything is okay right now
Everyone has those dreams
To change an event to make things different
What could have been what may have been
No one will ever know

All the struggles
We have conquered
Made us stronger today
Looking at the bright side
Nothing is half empty
Everything is Full

We're living in the now
We're living for the Night
We're living for our future
We're going to make it
New Dawn New Day
Happiness washes over
We live in the now We have the High Life

Insomnias Slave

 Eyes open as I lay here
Only in the darkness, I stare
My mind streaming at a strange pace
Thoughts in a fast race

Caught in this vicious loop
Thoughts scattering as chickens in a coop
I want to scream yet I do not want to wake others
Here I am out from the covers

Into the other room to think,
Jotting down plans with permanent ink
Waiting for my evil mind to shut down
I don’t want the burden of this heavy gown

Let’s go sandman give me the dust
Before my body starts to rust
I feel as if I have one foot in the grave
All because I’m insomnias slave

Filled With Hate

Filled With Hate

Chaotic days ahead,
Speaking your last daily bread.
As you sing that song,
While token the bong.
Pass the dutchie to the left,
All while closing your eyes and holding your breath.
Breathing and opening eyes after counting to eight,
The world is still filled with hate.

Clouds Of Grey

Society of Chaos and Plight
People Of Militia Ready To Fight
While others rather take Flight
This year seems to be out of sight

Civil War on the near horizon
As the POTUS sets the poison
He Rallies the supremacists
Not realizing they're self-destructed catalysts

The real Americans shall not be defeated
And his wall will not be completed
He will try to become deep-seated
Yet his allies are depleted

We must persevere in the dark hour
No matter the height of his tower
We the people can not cower
Let them chant 4 more years we can counter

He goes down in history as a traitor
While bubba becomes his neighbor
Behind those bars of steel and slate
He knows it's too late

Winds of change and fate sets
A reminder for them to limit bets
As the new dawn sets on this day
Under the smoking clouds of Grey

Scream


 
Scream

Throw the hands up in despair
Technology isn't permanent
Hard drives and motherboards can't be repaired
Matter as well make them a paperweight or ornament

Nothing lasts forever
Even though it could
That's how they get you aren't they clever
Bangs your hands on the hood
All that work lost
Don't tell the boss
Keep the arms cross

Where do we go from here?
Life is not quite clear
Head down and follow
Save the sorrow

Over the hills through the woods
Over the bridge and across the stream
Ignore the Hollywoods
Climb that mountain
Look at the center Fountain
Now Scream

Winter

 Birds of a feather Flocking together
Through good and bad weather
Loyal is the reds the blues and yellows
Deep in the trees, you can hear the fellows

Singing daily with the rising sun
Even though some people shun
Crazy as it sounds
For them, I would do leaps and bounds

Birds the rare singing delight
Come in varieties it's a marvelous sight
Even with the hint of snow
Still, they put on the show

The dewdrops glitter
Critters start to skitter
While the old one becomes bitter
As he can no longer jitter

The young reds begin the dance
lovestruck like a story in France
If they miss a beat there's no second chance

Yet here it comes The hinter
With a chilling wind gust
Clouds about to bust
The snowstorm of winter
