Forged in a Star part 2

All that you are and
All you'll become
Was forged in a star and
Will burn in the sun.

Atoms exchanged
From near and far,
Billions of brains,
Seconds apart.

Just six degrees
And we're all friends,
Murderers, thieves...
That all depends.

Be what you are but
Know where your from
You're made of stars but
So's everyone.

Why do you run?

You're stuck in the same rut again;
Looking for enemies
Among your friends.
You keep saying how bad it's been.
But was it really
Any different then?

You'll never be content.
You're your own detriment.

Why do you run, runaway
From your problems?
No ones chasing you.
Don't you know that's no way to solve them?
Don't ya let a problem carry you.
Why do you run, runaway
From your problems?
Try to see them through.

You found a new way out of life.
Honing your fear,
Sharper than a knife.
I can't prove you wrong in a fight.
You're keeping every issue
Out of your short sight.

What happens to your friends,
When you abandon them?

Why do you run, runaway
From your problems?
No ones chasing you.
Don't you know that's no way to solve them?
Don't ya let a problem carry you.
Why do you run, runaway
From your problems?
Try to see them through.

Sonnet 3

The pale blue moon is flirting through the clouds.
It pulls ever so slightly at the waves.
We'd talk beneath its glow, in misty shrouds.
And like the moon, you'd slowly drift away.

I once believed that you were both so close.
At least in pictures that's the way it seems.
I guess that shows how little I must know.
For both you and the moon escape my dreams.

But I will try to slowly pull you in.
A grain each time, as tides retrieve the shore.
And as the setting moon turns red and dim;
It also seems much lager than before.

        And should our slowing spin halt your depart,
        You'd shine-at night-no brighter than a star.

Sonnet 2

Why do you have to be named after the
Brightest celestial object in the sky?
Is this a joke that's being played on me,
As stars line up to form your Bowie eyes?

Some times-at night-I gaze at the thin air,
Imagining each light so far apart.
Like me, they're all alone in dark despair.
It's nice to know so many kindred hearts.

But I told you I'd live my life this way;
Adrift, without your charitable love.
I'm left with only memories of days
When jealous stars would watch us from above.

       If I can't gaze in to those eyes again,
       At least I'll be sure to remember them.

I'm Doin' Fine

When you cut me
And I bleed
Coffee,
When I cry
And my eyes leak
Liquid THC,
I'm pretty happy.
I'm doing fine;
I got traces of LSD
Floating in my spine.

Life is
A series
Of chemical reactions,
I chose them
Carefully
To my own satisfaction.

When my sweat tastes
Like fine
Whiskey,
When the air I breath
Is heavily
Laced with nicotine,
I'm doing alright;
Better than I've been.
I can recollect the effects
Of psychopsilocybin.

Life is
A series
Of chemical reactions,
I chose them
Carefully
To my own satisfaction.

When you cut me I bleed coffee
And my tears are made of THC.
It's a good night when there's whiskey
And I got my fix of nicotine.

Breath Deep, Be Easy

Yeah, I know you're the boss man.
And I can see you are pretty important.
Get off my back for a second.
And Think about just how little I'm askin'.

I can't
See how
You can live this way.
Breathe deep,
Be easy,
Take your stress away.

Breath deep,
Breath deep,
Don't take that shit out
On me.
Breath deep,
Breath deep,
Be easy.

Yeah, I'm getting your point man.
But its your attitude that I just can't stand.
I'm hearin' all that you're sayin'.
Now shut the fuck up and try to pay attention.

I can't
Explain
Any other way.
Breath deep,
Be easy,
Take your stress away.

Breath deep,
Breath deep,
Just calm the fuck down
Buddy.
Breath deep,
Breath deep,
Be easy.

My best friend a Dominatrix

My best friend
Is a dominatrix
She's beat up dudes
In all different kinds of places
Her work clothes
Are black leather and laces
She makes good money
Punching dudes in their faces

They give her cars
And brand new cellphones
She gives them scars
And broken bones

My best friend
Is a dominatrix
Asked her if she had
A little bag of tricks
No, she said
I just beat those faggots
Some of them want to be whipped
But I prefer my fists

They give her pills
And brand new clothes
She gives me the chills
The most bad-ass girl I know

Sonnet 1

For one more day to spend alone with you,
I'd spill my own cold blood out on the floor.
Would I do what most think they could not do?
To revisit those days where we got bored.

I'm no realist but loss can be unreal,
And I can't seem to leave it all to fate.
The afterlife-for me-holds no appeal;
The dark arts or science might show the way.

But I could lose much more than I would gain,
I'd tear apart the thinner threads of time.
Likely enduring some new kind of pain,
To tell you things that have been on my mind.

       I'd do it again, for every lost friend;
       All wounds have to heal... so why should lives end?

Just Two Kids

It hasn't been too much time since those long days of play in the sunshine.
The pitter-patter of your footsteps were never far behind.
I wonder what it would be like if we could stay those two tykes.
We would never grow up, no we'd never move on... for the rest of our lives.

Who could blame us?
Who would shame us?
Just to kids in love.

It's realy not so hard to believe that our lives would be so easy
If we just stayed young and dumb, And blissfully naive.
Sometimes I think I can go back there, to a life so simple and far from despair;
When every little problem blew away with the air and the last thing we'd ever do was care.

Who would blame us?
Who could shame us?
Just two kids in love.

But now life is always so busy
And no one ever seems to give me
A break, they just take,
And make things harder than they should be

But who should blame us?
Who would shame us?
Just two kids in love?
No one could budge us,
And they'd never judge us
If we were just two kids in love.

Rocket Ship

I'd like to move to a place where the sidewalks are wide
So we could spend all the days there walking side by side
(And I probably won't get hit by cars)
But I'd really rather go out in to outer space
So we won't have to see anybody else's face
(And no global warming or meteors)

Oh we'd be so much better off
Circling the moon
If things work out the way I planned
We might be there soon

It would be nice to have a house with a picket fence
Painted white as a statement of our establishment
(And the cops would keep out minorities)
If I could have a space ship to fly to distant stars
I'd take you to a place where pain is far from our hearts
(And we'd survive an outbreak of zombies)

Oh we'd be so much better off
Orbiting 'round Mars
If things work out the way I planned
This is just the start

But nothings gonna get done
If we're staring at the sun
Living on a little blue ball
No wonder our dreams are so small
Help me build a rocket ship
Show them we don't give a shit
Forget about all your problems
Running away always solves them

Oh we'd be so much better off
Blasting past Neptune
If things work out the way I planned
We could be there soon

Gray

There's no such thing as black and white
-Especially in this day and age-
There's bits of color (specs of light)
In the dullest shades of gray.

And should you spy on spectrum's seen
-Beyond or below red blue green-
Then my friend (you mite be keen)
To just how little lies between.

All our senses are so weak.
An unknown sound rings in your ears.
Hearing only when we speak;
Distorting truth to make it clear.
All our cells are rearranged
(Bombarded by Gama rays.)
Evolutions course has changed,
It's become our pet and slave.

Dissected under microscopes!
We're taking every wrong approach;
We treated science like a joke
(Depending on misguided hope.)
The bastard kids of entropy
-Our minds designed by pure mistake-
Imagining that we are free,
Instead of being tools of fate.

The Prisoners Return

On a planet (made a prison)
With the wide eye watching all.
When it's captives
Cried for freedom
At heroes too far
(To hear their call.)

A world where nothing is forgiven;
And the strong all drowned in shame.
And it's worst lies
Remain hidden,
So the weak still
Carry the blame.

They thought no bars were needed there.
The young were taught to fall in line.
They made their clothes from human hair.
Forgot the value of a life.

The watchers saw violence rising.
They rushed to replace all of the dead.
And they opened
The iron sky,
While wrapping the noose
Around their neck.

The inmates all boarded their ships;
The rapists and the killers first.
The taste of
Death on their lips
Their captors couldn't
Please their thirst.

Madmen staring out in to space,
For the first time with their own eyes...
Making their way back to this place!
Watch for them on the darkest nights.

Stareater

Unseen monster of celestial skies;

Swallowing giants in a single bite.

Giving no warning,

It darkens the nights.

Fear the Stareater,

Defeater of light.

Some say it's shadow appeared with the bang;

Chasing all creatures away with its fangs.

You mite be lucky 

To make the escape.

I say you're only 

Delaying your fate.

The Stareater's bearing down;

Blacking out the moon.

The witches tricks can be unbound.

The sword she keeps will be his doom.

Kill the old wizard who can't keep his word.

Fly though the sky's

On the back of a bird.

Find the old monster by his shining eye;

Cut out the star there

And take home your prize.

The Barber Shop

You say society has butchered your arms and legs,

To sew you to the waist of a man (to make a monster.)

I say let them take my head

-And place you on my shoulders-
so we mite make

A more beautiful beast!

My love for you made me stupid anyway;

(I want to buy you flowers and shit.)

As if the sex organ of a dead plant

Would convince you to display yours

In a similar crude fashion.

So as we'd slip and stumble

On the blood of the ones we once loved;

The awkward and disgusting scene

Mite seem funny to me,

If I still had a head.

And should some white knight

Burst through that door (to save you)

The beast that we became

Would laugh at how small

(And weak) he is.

This savior you hoped for had it all wrong!

He would place

Your limbless body

In some bed,

Inside a palace,

With no need to worry

-That you mite go somewhere (Or do something.)

The solution I proposed

Makes more sense to me;

As dumb as I've become,

It's still simple to see...

That its better then writing poems (with run-on sentences)

That don't even rhyme

At the rite times,

Only to fizzle out, as I grow tired of writing.

Reds

You drag me through
This short sweet life
I pull the smoke
From your inside
Your soft white flesh
Turns black then bright
The tar and ash
Escapes the light

And when my lungs
Fill up with you
I let you out
You pass me through
The harshness of
Your swift depart
Scalding my lungs
Constricts my heart

I breathe the air
So plain and cold
You swim through me
As I unfold
I press you down
Into the ground
A sense of peace
Is almost found

Harbinger

I am the ashes of simpler days

The will of my origins runs through my veins

The millions before me have been laid to waste

Their bones made the mountains their blood filled the plains

Worship the terror, build it a home

Suffer together or face me alone

I wade through an ocean made crimson red

Bathing among the millions of dead

Drinking in deep from the thick soup of gore

Feeling revived as I step on to shore

Worship the hatred, build it a home

Suffer the fear or face it alone

The wars that we wage over thousands of years

Crippled the populous with their own fear

Submitting their lives to the crack of a whip

A word of defiance won't pass through their lips

The will of your leaders constructed your tomb

No profits or preachers predict their own doom

They lead all the weak down to the unknown

Rather than suffer their fate on their own

The Tale of the Cannibal

All the scrapes and scars                          (Am,C,E,Am))

On the cannibal's heart,                           

Never get the time to heal.                        (C,E,Am)

And, his animal bones

Won't leave him alone

Always seekin' out his next meal.

Trampled under toe,                                                (C,E,Am)

His own scaffolding would fold.

You know, you can't compete with mass appeal.

Any bargain is a bribe

Seen through his two beady eyes;

When the bullets fly you're his human shield.       (E,Am)

Those possessed by greed,                           (Dm,Am,E,Am)
Mite as well just feed
Off the flesh of their own kind.
When obsessed with jealousy,
It's impossible to see
How eye's for eye's will make us all blind.

He had no shame in his soul.

Said he'd lost all control

When he realized, we all die alone.

At the tender age of eight

It was already too late...

In his heart, the hatred made a home.

When he met one of his kin,

They were lookin' kinda thin...

'Til they sucked dry his cannibal bones

So I hope you think twice,

If hurting people is your vice,

Now that this animal's story is known.

Fingers

Tiny little fingers, spring from the ground
Under everything there, another one sprouts
Given enough time, they should take forms of hands
Providing shelter, to all of the land

Two trees are sprouting, from our of our arms
Most used for loving, but some times for harm
I try to use mine, the best that I can
Inspired by fingers, that grew in to hands

The trees and our hands, learn in similar ways
Bark and skin thicken, through rougher days
They change with the seasons
The things that they do
When your hands commit treason
How would trees handle you?

That House

There's a lonely little home

Way out in the back

Just a shady bungalow

Off that beaten track

That where the beer taps

Never stopped flowing

They always got a pound on stash

And twenty more growing

And any passersby

Don't even realize

All the secrets that it's keepin'

Hidden from their eyes

There's a party starting there

Every single day

Each so fun

That everyone

Who came decides to stay

Songs are played 

That no one knows

They sing along 

And tap their toes

And any passersby

Won't even realize

That every door is unlocked

And they're all welcome inside

Well there's a lonely little home

I'd show you if I could

But all I really know

Is that it's somewhere in the woods

And why would I be here

In a world so thick with fear

If I could join the endless fun

With the rest who disappeared

Following Fools

As Vandals dismantle
the fragile framework of a lie.
The quiet deny it
let it gather and grow inside.
But first and much worse
are the few who are tempted to try.
To tinker and tamper
with proof that would show you the light.

Pleased to pull the wool
over your squinted eyes.
Teach you all about fear
and how it's better to hide.
Praise be to the fool
prisons for the rest.
People getting fat
the others just starved to death

Those trying are lying
but mostly to them selves.
We wont see a world peace
when nothing we do helps.

Revolt, rebuild, repeat
the only solution I see.
Revolt, rebuild, repeat
there's no other way to be free.

Entropy

Endlessly expanding engine of time

Navigate the universe down history's line

Tirelessly take them through each of their lives

Relentless trend, your creations are everything contrived

Order's only observed in old things we find

Products probably predating your present state of mind

Your chaotic ways make the years seem like days, I owe you all I call mine.

Two Feet Deep

In a shallow grave,
Should I die, would you bury me?
Somewhere by the oceans bay.
With the earth barely hiding me.
In a shallow grave,
In the sand still wet from the sea.
Tell the ocean to send it's waves,
So the barnacles can feed off me.

And should I sink in to the sand,
Please do not shed a tear.
For when I'm not a living man,
I will not disappear.
Should these feet start peeking out,
Of the soft eroding beach;
Take comfort knowing I'm about,
To go home to the sea.

In a shallow grave,
Toss away that old husk of me.
No longer that body's slave.
Just living on in memories
In a shallow grave,
Please, make sure it's not too deep.
Watch me as I'm whisked away,
Because none of us are here for keeps.

And when I sink in to the sand,
Please do not shed a tear.
For once I'm not a living man,
I will not disappear.
And when these feet start peeking out,
Of the soft eroding land;
Take comfort knowing I'm about,
To head out just as planned.

This Great Ordeal

Once I was naive
I thought I knew it all but I was wrong
Now I can see
There never was an answer all along

There are always more questions to be asked when answers are revealed
There will never be an end to this great ordeal

Cause don't you know we act like ants
The gears of a clock
We all do the dance like bees when they talk
I would like to think there's more
Than just what we see
But I rather waste my time on what's around me

There are always more questions to be asked when answers are revealed
There will never be an end to this great ordeal

And one day we may see the end
Of this great race
As some of us transcend
The rest get replaced
I invite you to evolve
Unite with machines
All your problems could be solved
By modifying your genes

Two Feet

I walk

On my

Own road

With my

Two feet

I will not stray

And when

I get

To where

I go

I know

I can not stay

For my

Two feet

Are restless here

As they

Will always be

So my

Two legs

Will go and throw

Them out

In front of me

Well,

Since I've lived out of my back pocket

I've been fine on my own

And just as long as I keep walking

I'm never far from home

My two feet will take me where

I always want to be

It's never here and just too far

for you

to follow me

Transhuman

We went from desktops,
To laptops,
To computers in our palms.
And we evolved crops
Once we stopped
Building bigger bombs.
As we civilize
We save lives,
Our species will move on.
And then our minds
Mite combine
To replace this race, when we are gone.

Forged in a Star

On top a needle head there stands

A tiny little grain of sand

And on that speck there sits some dust

And living there is all of us

Fretting about our small lives

Thinking we've figured out why

All of the answers locked inside

Each of our tiny little minds

Tied with strings that traverse time

Nothing could ever sever these binds

We're floating through infinity

Out farther than we've ever seen

And in a blink to this grand scheme

Happens what we call everything

A universe afloat in space

Trillions of stars all interlaced

The weight we carry through our days

Is unseen in this vast dark place

Tied with strings that traverse time

Nothing could ever sever these binds

All that we are and all that will come

Was forged in a star and will burn in the sun

For all that we know this is all temporary

When the universe implodes what's the use in being wary?

All that we are and all that will come
