Choices
I don't know what she's doing with me
She's beautiful and I'm
Well let's be honest I'm not
But she looks at me
And she holds me
And she kisses me
Like I'm the only person
That she has ever wanted
The only person she will ever want
And really I just want to know
Why?
Why would she ever choose me?
And she did
She chose me
Before I chose her
She chose me
I hope I can be worth it.
She's beautiful and I'm
Well let's be honest I'm not
But she looks at me
And she holds me
And she kisses me
Like I'm the only person
That she has ever wanted
The only person she will ever want
And really I just want to know
Why?
Why would she ever choose me?
And she did
She chose me
Before I chose her
She chose me
I hope I can be worth it.

Rubber Duckies
Bathe you’re me in the sins of
someone else
so I can feel guilty for more shit
I haven't done,
be sure to rub me with salts
from the dead sea
cause it seems completely fitting.

U.N.I.T.Y.
Let's unite
Without unity were destined to fight
Amongs one another we are all
Sisters & Brothers
No more tears from a mother
Whose pain from a son slain
Tear drops are they rain derived from the insane
We must make a change
Please make a choice and use your voice
Protest cause no more suffering in silence
When we are exposed to violence
Tired, hungry & poor we will no longer endure
The brutality knocking on our door
So lets end all wars
It's beneficial to make a change
Destiny is ours to hold & control
So lets all...

Words.
Words are such a crazy and powerful thing.
But see the only thing words can't do, is change what happens.
So you can tell me.
I won't amount to anything,
Even scream it to me.
But it's up to me what happens next.
Your words are just sounds,
Drifting around me.
So I can tell you,
I'll be a hero someday.
And you can laugh in my face.
But that's okay.
Cause it's up to me what happens next.
And I will be a hero one day.
To my little girl I'll be a hero...
And I'll be exactly what I want to be.
Words are evil and words are powerless...
But see the only thing words can't do, is change what happens.

arcade grenade
arcade grenade
or a sudden dream of sundering
the blood pulls us
zig-zag
counterclockwise
unfolding as we go
bodies dislocating against the locks and bars
cracking precisely at the particle
and like steam we sigh
ghostly into ethereal night
arching against eachother,
achingly metamorphosed.

cling film
White picket holed trenches
Putting up fences
Four walled grave
Your face reminded him of his knuckles that time
Re-aligning stomachs
With bladders and baggy's
Swelling waters cushioning the baby drowning in floods of noir and tears
Salty seas dried
Crystallized
How much meth does it take to change a lightbulb?
Its a joke
Wolf ran out of puff so the pigs blew it down
Brown brick
Veins for trains
Moving mountains with a table spoon, hot knives and a folk in the road
"Should be feeding with the tools you've been...

DIARY OF A FALLEN WRITER.
Though blood is still streaming in motion,boiling in my veins,urging this youthful body on,am afraid my spirit is under the attack of fatal infections;loss of vibrance,inspiration,zeal for life and severe lack of appetite for adventure!
Fall has engulfed,barely sipped my summer cocktail.Am clouded by fog,i see neither light nor an end to this tunnel.
The beats are loud and clear within my soul,but i have lost rhythm.Forgotten are the moves,i keep stepping on my toes.
My heart and mind are frozen in time,am a breathing shell,a faint soundtrack of once was a great...

martini
A Sophisticated Drink
It stood there on the table a litre bottle of martini stuff
made in a factory in Milan and has nothing to do with
proper wine. The workers are basely underpaid, when
they ask a rise the get served martini for breakfast-.
Or perhaps I´m wrong and it is in South Africa where
sober wine workers get fired because they are unionised
and do ask for a better wage. Martini is a cheap product
that has been given a great write up, a liquid of alcohol,
water and some good smelling herbs.
The mystery is not solved who had put the...
