On My Wall
Ladybug, ladybug on my wall
It was there all summer, but now it's fall.
It was there all season, but never found reason
To stand and fight, or take off in flight.
It just clung there helpless.... on my wall.
Afraid to stand, afraid to fall.
Not really sure about its gender,
Just watched it miss out on life's spendor.
Was it waiting there for a man?
Or for someone el...

Rain Check
You got alot of nerve, stirring up mess
Churning emotions til they fester and burn
Wrecking havoc, thriving in your habitual habit
Unconcerned with the environment, leaving it in misalignment
Antagonized by your exasperation
Declared our common enemy out of correlation
To fan out the flames of your generation

Yet we seek more
Traffic, construction
Still building to touch the sky
Earth is all we need

Dear Universe
Dear Universe,
Why did you give me a flower so beautiful,
then make me watch its petals fall?
Why did you gift me a single seedling,
but forbid me from watering it?
Why did you lead me to the purest of water,
yet poison it with your toxins?
You chuckle to youself
as I try to overcome it,
overpower it,
out determine it,
all the while knowing
deep within the ...

Animal Suicide
I tell you
I'll love you no matter what.
I don't care what they think,
fuck their approval.
And yet I find myself,
crawling back.
Plagued with naive hope,
self-loathing weakness.
A bird plucking its own feathers
one by one.
Until all that's left
is an ugly mangled mass,
defeated by its own destruction.

Lust
The lust for war
is skin-tight & as hemoglobin to bone--
turning poets into preaching prophets
politicians into potion preachers
children into cheapened chattel
soldiers into senseless slogs
intellectuals into inflated idiots
conservatives to corny connivers
liberals into leaky liars &
the right into the wrong.
simply because war is a blood poison
and war is psychotic chaos,
a f...

Being Human
Rubber scrapes the soil
orchestrating a path
with feet.
Watching tread copyright nature
with a flawed melody,
a percussion of leaves crunches beneath,
touching gales with a verse of words-
before the chorus fades.

Poisoning our Children
Carcinogenics in every single thing we buy
From our food, clothes, to even our hair dye
Although Europe does indeed do more to try to protect us
America really doesn't seem to give a flying fudge
They have many slimy loop holes which risk our health and safety
Like the fragrance loop hole that has, over these years, affected us far too greatly
They need not disclose chemicals that they use t...

here
I can't see
The insides of my eyelids have been my solace
All I know is the sycamore I lay under
I lay on my back in hopes that my eyes will miraculously open to the crisp sky
The sycamore rots
At least I think its a sycamore
It has an indistinguishable tang of cinnamon that cooks off the bark and hangs in the hot air in summer
and a desperate perfume of musk from the roots lingers in the ...

The loss of human nature
I live by necessity,
I compromise my desires
for security. Ideals
compromised for base comforts.
I play by rules I believe
to be fundamentally
unfair. I envy the gulls
I lie watching at the coast.
They live by urge - fly here, fly
there - investigate a pile
of seaweed, take off out to
sea to sit and bob for hours.
I envy the fox, living
by in...

An archer of the woods
I am an artist of words,
an archer of the woods.
A constellation of the brightest stars.
An adventurous being,
with dreams that follow the galaxies.
I seek only wonders,
I seek only peace.
Not mistake me as an ordinary piece.
My arrow strikes in the souls of others.
It does not have an aim but it follows,
it stays inside like a deep wound.
It does not break, it just gets stuck.
St...

words formed at waking
a muttering crowd gathers
'round a well of human tears
they lower dirt-sodden buckets to recover
the wet product of night terrors,
tumult and nascent fear
an ejaculate shower glistens
on the dead leaves and automobiles
while nature howls
then hunkers down in silence
posturing for the next kill

Wild Wolf-(2)
Wild wolf
I heard you howl
at the moon.
I believe it was
sometime in June.
Wild wolf
you sounded lonely
you sounded sad.
Was I scared?
No I was mad!
Why?
Wild wolf
in myth you
are evil.
This fear from
the time primeval.

Wild Wolf
I heard a wolf
howl at the moon,
I believe it was
sometime in June.
It sounded lonely
it soudnded sad
was I scared?
No I was mad!
Why?
The wolf is being
hunted, exterminated.
Why is the wolf
so very hated?
