Fanatics of those mediocre movements
of the pain in your hearts
that drives you to sustain yourself
on the gamelike dogmatic lie
at your crowds raving and dancing
cheering in unison
you've achieved the illusion
of such dogmatic illusory heights
the pain in your mind
outrage shared out like cake
digested and embodied
gamelike henchmen guide you
fanatics you are
with colors and signs
a movement that carries your legs forward
ignoring those counter-arguments
cushioning overgrown butts
with inflating self righteous drivel
in private I see through you, I see you fade
better grab your poster and find the parade

The Fodder of fanatics
Don't look back old son
On the road
back to a new past
old routes we used to grasp
and small towns
memorable colors
My father told the tale
of a very basic heaven for sale
He had bought his spot
A fresh place I had foreseen
with multicolored camelias
bordering the outside of a serene
wooden and hallowed chalet
the old rail passed within meters of the residence
and a new bay connected to the sea
over the old car museum's property
I asked him to take me back to the old residence
that old familiar existance
then came the typical snicker
he said you can't go back son
decorating the future with pieces of the past
the nostalgic outer membraine never lasts
I clean the lense of my glance
as I try to create the contemporary
falling into the present
with the essence of my mind legendarily

It's mine
what is yours
what is mine
a library
in a mansion
What is yours
that is fine
sweet street fruit
falling bruised all the time
Big rooms
but this is mine
I see you look up
just pack and sign
for as far as the eye can see
it is all mine
not fantasy or musings
the keeper just finds

Condemn me brother
The man that sung the song
that let it all out
that lay it all down
like the law
like the judgement on all of our souls
heavy and crushing
like the way we behaved over decades
laugh at it now, but it still bleeds
like a small mountain stream
red as your dreams
shame as a demon
shines in your reasons
for each of your judgements
they reflect like polished swords
aimed at our heads
blinding our eyes
seconds from death
eons from birth
learning to laugh
learning to cry
and dirtying our souls in the ash of other's judgements
soiling those well dimpled innocent giggles
for some square photo of us on the wall
with just the facts written directly right under
blood of siblings
the only wine in the bottle
share it at a wake
exclude us
the worms we are
eons from birth
The tyrant in your head
the mind overthinks
no way to simplify it
no way to humble it
listen to me
the mind wants to form a hard shell
to calcify and survive on its own repetitions
stay clung between some rocks
safe and unconscious
it overthinks
sensitive and preoccupied
unable to extract anxiety
or even regret
sending us over the edge sometimes
the medicated could attest
their own minds timid to admit
pills and routine
OOOOhhhhhh
there is no offswitch
for the over-reactive mind
sometimes creative mercy
othertimes unkind
Flesh and screens
the pain of flesh
the necessary mistake of it
through this whole journey
sticking my body to the land
somekind of meat scarecrow
civilization screeches
here we go like leeches
ambling along
toward death, toothpick like dummies
you no exception, still humming
your disapproval absolutely essential
Sealing the simple lie this lie of fat muscle and bone
spritis drowning in this blood
Diluted by it
A rhythmic dance of stroke
body seizing acceptable death throes
community nods and sips that coca cola
confirming their own demise ahead
some see this as a prison this flesh
the existance they drink away
I've not gone back to blacking it out
shining a light on mysteries
has only deepened them
your disapproval absolutely key
for a lie well crafted expands on the earth
sugar seeking zombies
sugar seeking smilers
Instant kilogram of color and value
that you rent on some digital page
trafficking your self esteem
has made it rather shallow
waiting for a dopamine deficit
to share sad photos
as predictable as the thread often is
condemn this sewer
instead of mainlining it into your psyche
face the ground where seed waits
for your very lips
for that water
for your corpse
to get what it needs for speed in growth
before it gets out grown or becomes a vulnerable host
like we all have, to a human virus
unquestioning unthinking plodder clod of fodder
A moving scarecrow
with pickled eyes glued to a small pane o glass
using every moment to form your bias
and feed it until it becomes the foolish pet
to inhabit the hole where your brain use to be
use those sweetened cranium veins
for a new AI sotware for your dreams
Dog ghost bridge
the dog spirit hovering over the dimlit bridge
just before good end town
there in the shrubs something slithered
whether it was the worst part of me
could only be known by the grin on the surface of the water
spread wide yet overpowering
between great humid hungry shrubs
all seduced by the moolight and drizzle
was it the witch in my arms
the power of the night's very shade
the double darkness multiplying itself in celebration
of a gone sun
the dog spirit over the small river
a young couple glare from the distance
trying to make out my shape in the distance
The spirit hit the lines between light and dark
blessing the surrounding woods
the unknown lore
so many pretenders brag to have understood
Yet the lost dog's spirit evades them
the army of souls hide in the whistle
awaiting emancipation
instead of being forced to toil on the tunnel
that connects the afterlife with this one right here...
