Make Your Move
Pay the bill?
Or slay with skill?
You have the choice.
What do you do?
Have a voice?
Or just make do...
So would you explore,
Or pay the whore?
Live life for adventure,
Or live it for shoes
We all must choose,
Which love is true
To explore is to fight,
A freedom from flight.
To run from the bold,
Turns young into old.
Causing the daunting,
Unwanting of fear.
That grows within silence;
Words without hear.
A fear that is feral,
Malicious, and vicious.
The lie of the sellout.
Diamonds from wishes.
He
Down the street He goes.
Up and down the path.
Happy He seems.
Happy He is...
Happy He is.
Fields and fields
Surrounded in grasses
Save for the settlers
The people He passes
As He makes his way
He plucks from the field
Nobody's land
Everybody's land
Thirteen men send ten men
Ten other men to build a pen
The fields are taken
By men who are mistaken
Thirteen men believe they are god.
They used their thirteen pens to send ten honest men to build a pen.
They used those thirteen same pens to send ten tons of honest men to war to die.
He makes his way
Plucking the fruit
Feeding the fruitless
The few give their thanks
The many bring their tanks
Thirteen men make their mess
There is a boy
He has a toy
It makes a lot of noise
It conquers and destroys
A big boy with his big toy
Run amok
Big bad truck
Don't give a fuck
His militant mindset misguides him from mommy
"Time for bed, baby! Put those toys away, Tommy."
Thirteen offspring disobey
Their mothers in their craze
Sends them in a daze
Out into the fray
And there their children stay
The lost and lonely strays
However, when Mother Earth kicks the big, bad Babies out of her house, mankind won't be sulking away in an alleyway.
He'll be blown to bits & oblivion.
A raindrop sinks slowly to the bottom of a pond and never remembers its life before.
The ocean sways as one governing body. It's lifeblood sucked into the sky to be spat back down in a million mists of mischief.
A bolt of lightning strikes a man.
He is dazed and doesn't remember
Where he is
Who he is
When he is
Why he is
What he is
How he is
He is a raindrop and sinks to the bottom of a well.
All is well
All is not well
All is not well in the Orwellian household
Dishes and discs are flying and smashed
The mantle they crash
The family dismantled
Morals to a fireplace
Their place a disgrace
Humans realize they are specks of dust attached to a gigantic floating ball no larger than a speck of dust itself.
Rust to dust.
Coal Mind in a Cold Mine
Drip drop
Drip drop
Rain falls
Duty calls
Empires fall
Leaders stall
Build a wall
Make them crawl
Drip drop
Drip drop
Rain falls
Duty calls
Empires fall
Battalions are formed.
Make the leaders crawl
Through their great hall
Heads will roll
And take their toll
The men who mark
Give way to dark
That lives in hearts
When big money darts
Into their carts
Mine carts tumble through mine shafts
Dust falls from the ceiling
A speck lands in a miner's eye
He doesn't have healthcare so the system lets him go blind
The same black system pumps the same black dust into the bright white flames forming the thick black smoke to stain the big blue sky.
Then there is darkness.
If you panic you die
Nobody can see,
Everyone panics
Everyone dies
Except the blind miner
He says, "Ha ha ha wouldn't that be funny?"
Except nobody is listening because he is trapped in a coal mine waiting to die.
His mind in a mine
Hit by a land mine
He WISHES!
What a crazy fuckin' bastard.
Guy gets trapped in a coal mine for an entire year, and some fuckin how
SOMEHOW this guy survives
And gets fuckin rescued
After a year?
After a year. And then guess what?
What?
I shit you not he goes back into the fuckin coal mine
Awwwww noooo
Yes!
Why? Did he really need money that bad?
Nah. He didn't go to work.
He didn't go to work?
He went back to live in the mine!
Nawwww man you makin this shit up!!
Actually I am.
The miner falls asleep during his own story
His own corny story
Drip drop
Drip drop
