Around Off

Dang Don't hang me by your string theory By threads or by necks Or nails for that matter It makes me weary By the skim of my teeth Of your design Between yours and mine For we all tread On the thin line As we hang out to dry Skin Although We're in the thick of it You know what I mean Immortality Is made of this Heavenly bliss So I hang my head To avoid distress While shame and guilt Caress Another fine mess I should have seen coming Before me

Free Man He couldn't help himself His life was faster than his past Government agencies couldn't keep up With his action selection As it kept them out By a fraction To him it was only about him Survival was part of his whim His success ensured By the stagnation of agencies Before they realized He got away with it After he settled down They came to investigate The damage he'd done Upon them By then it was too late As they had procured His isolation With education And endured His conflagration In spite of themselves There was no holding him Back Or down There was no rock nor roll To wrap things up In no good news Paper thin He was a sign of the times Out of the blues Within the din With rapier wit And in a fit of starts His action sounded larger Than old farts spangle Which is why his Universe Won't fall apart While the dingle dangle

Going Nowhere The roach raced across the floor Compelling me to kill it The silverfish jammed upon my wall Compelling me to kill it Yet, I still see myself as a pacifist The rat sat upon the mat In my imagination Compelling me to kill it I once had a brother Who would take it all So I let blood go Rather than spill it In a perfect world There is peace and love But nothing and nobody Is left To fill it

Crisis So there we were In the middle of a crisis Without a doubt That things were great For all that was dangled We never took the bait Of our downfall Or our total recall Some things just occur too late Being as we are Stupid in the middle As facts are spread Around the riddle Of piddling expectation As we play our fiddle While diddling with ourselves

A Perfect World A perfect world Has no boarders Has no leaders Has no hoarders Nobody bleeds needless A perfect world Has no warfare Has no demons All in all It still has meaning There is no such thing As peer screening A perfect world Where we are free To come as we go As we please I'm just saying To let you know That your model Isn't working You may think it's funny But I'm not joking Or jerking Your chain So spare me your disdain Or I might be tempted To put a bullet in your brain Oh, violence you decry Even as my freedom you deny Which is why You makeshift dummy Shit for brains

Power Trash The pen is still mightier than the sword Which is why they kill journalists And whistle-blowers Take my word for it There is a very long list Of brave murdered souls Who will never be forgotten As those in control Hang by shreds Of evidence Left by those revealing Before their death sentence Signed Sealed Delivered Abstention and repentance While the powers that be Figured Continuation of misery Will erase from the pages of history Their greed and corruption For they also strive to be free Of themselves As they carry on Fight or flight Garbage

Repeats I bring to you my DNA Deoxyribonucleicacid On the sly Slipping in immortality On the fly I give to you my genetic inheritance Without remorse Delivering some hope and dreams Of changing course Still, things could be worse In a world without war or famine Fire and flood still step in Where the human race strives To begin again So I bequeath to you My psychic potential To make of it What you will But be warned The greed to feed May be consequential When it supplants The spiritual need To become again One with God

Ejection Flaccid penis Hot cunt Work out Print font Estrogen in the mainstream Flushed into rivers Where you know what I mean As all chemical flows Into collision Out of collusion Clash transgender mix Awkward derision When push comes to shove Whatever decision To hoist the mast With universal erection Some need a blue pill Others require a blood spill We all end up in a landfill Of runways Beyond that Is anybody's guess

Free It's all the same to me As a free man So shove your entity Into your life span While I keep my integrity Out of hand Biting Whatever I find To be exciting Identity In my own land Having nothing to do With you As you will see We still feed Thoughts Of a wave band Where expressions crammed As we jammed Music In paradise

Out of the Wild Life is a wild ride Nobody can hide from Those starving to death Those taking their first breath Scaling ups and downs On syndromes of expectation Spit out individuality Facing nations On planet Earth Rolling coasts Which still birth Peace In the midst of such Belief We all count for something Else

Search If there are aliens I am within If there is no God I am without Notice It's all about me Deep inside the mystery Where no questions asked Just keep going Unchallenged Without growing So I knock down walls Opening the halls Of fame Naming names No shame in that As we go batty For each other Avoiding insanity Finding lovers Of the same search Meaning in life When questions are asked All bets are off

Duplicity When I come to think about it It becomes obvious The thought pre-existed me As others had realized it Long before I was born From a heart ache Of a mind set Out of riddles History repeats Common heart beats Black and blue Around and around Where me and you Play to the end Of a lifespan

Not To Be Sniffed At I know how birds smell like I know how dogs smell like I know how horses smell like I know how she smells On the seashore The fragrance of Nature Appeals to my senses My animal instinct Comes back for more I smell the grass Under defeat I smell the masses Whenever we meet Smells greet my nose As thar she blows With such power It reeks of havoc I could fall to the floor So must take a shower When I walk through the door Although I smell pungent I'm really sweet Yet still repugnant According to some So it's best to treat me From the core Of a heart beat At arms length For ending all war Is our only strength I could go on But you sense what I'm saying When sniffing out truth You have a nose for it And I'm not playing

Parents and Children From the top of the morning To the bottom of my heart When relationships gather In matrimony There's not always harmony Things often get testy They say As push comes to shove The light from above Points to all love Potential With some expectation Which is the only essential Guide for future Generations Whose history and ancestry Work out again The message to control Mechanisms And independence

Pass Blue eye trait Traipse Over who mates Crossing Genetic gates Where bald head Interbred Occasional spates And left hand Out of it Knowing What the right is doing Mightily With a hand on the sword Keeping ideas spewing On the Firth of the Fourth Bridging gaps Forcing species To wear many hats For when it comes to survival I will go to bat for you Then We pass it on

Reject The world is a sick place I vomit through It's more than the human race It's about me and you As we reject each other We should accrue Our collective color Out of the blue Instead of spectral hiding A spank of planks The eye beholds Hankipanks So let's put away Our guns and tanks To find love and peace For which we should give thanks

Heritage Sexplicit Genes Mind control Memes For what it's worth Lust and love Fight to give birth On a thought count For nothing When it amounts to something All that came before us Steering how we feel Desire just keeps spinning On a big wheel Where we try making out On a crop of circles As we all deal Ourselves out I guess That is all we can shout about

Idiot While raising the bar I think outside the box Placing all my ducks in a row Without putting the cart before the horse Drastic times call for drastic measures There was a method to such madness Speaking of the Devil Whose ethnic cleansing Cut corners From a piece of cake I still couldn't fathom What to make of it So Jumping on bandwagons Your guess is as good as mine While running out of a good time If we wouldn't be caught dead It was all in my head I heard it through the grapevine Since cats have nine lives To make a long story short I let sleeping dogs lie In the face of it As During the heat of the moment Bit by bit Nobody else would give a shit It was a blessing in disguise Not to beat about the bush For what I could surmise The cost was an arm and a leg While jumping to conclusions I still had to beg As if my life depended on all Idiomatic intrusion Language invades Verbal allusion Foolin...

Ship Shaper I was in a non-locality An excerpt from an extra-dimensional Motility Skewered by banality A heavy light On all brevity Standing to face Immortality By some magnetic resonance I could tell at a second glance All that was to come before me Yet I could select Vibration cues On aberration queues Streaming What I was dreaming It was out of this world If I say you should have been there you were Like a blur on the spur of the moment Becoming out of sight Bending The will of the way Mightily Collapsing What was to become of me

Rhyme Without Reason It was out of this world It was in a whirl Pools of thought All curled up Like nothing before it It was life after death As I've already mentioned Catching a last breath Conscience plays Foisted On mainstays Where everyone prays For their own survival But they can't be blamed In their denial For believing They come first Where we all exist As a star burst

Check and Balance The bulk of me woke up It was more of a feeling than a reality The sensation of being here and now I felt around for others Surely I can't be alone My glass head shatters My bone breaks from stone There is more to this I think In a mind blink To and from Where something stinks Rivalry Revelry Reach for the stars Promoted by expectation Landing on tar Which I first thought Was a Mars bar Before heading out to see What was to become of me I landed Only to find I was stranded On an image of myself Disintegrating All preconceived notion So without a peep I go back to sleep

World without politics In Haiti He invited us in for coffee Sending his daughter to the market To buy our supplies Grandfather While remonstrating about the truth and lies Between first and third world countries He stood me in his shoos In Santo Domingo He showered three times With his long nose hair As a welcome into his frugal lair Rafael, your humility still stares me in the face You overcame differences between culture and race You are a man with amazing grace Dressing me down with your dress up In the Bahamas His wife gave us bread After he rode up drunk On his bicycle While we waited at the remote airport All he could give was all his support And a bed for the night No name and his wife We had no choice but to accept it Without ever going back To thank them Beautiful people In Zambia With his macheted head He still came to work Even after voting for the wrong party His enthusiasm matched the false start Altho...

Tourist We'll Ride that train in Norway Cruise the Seine in France Cross that bridge when we come to it Perform a traditional Greek dance Check out lines in Amsterdam Floating across its canals Just like Venice over floods Looking for a second chance We'll Swiss mountain cheesy Austrian boots Nazi Italian sleazy Without giving two hoots Of anyone's party or cahoots For who gives a damn If shopping is involved As female psychology Or spending resolved What may cost more May still cost less Being a tourist Is simply a test Being patient In a male vest To fit a need Of cultural greed Where no one fits in As everyone bleeds So stop and think about it If this is a test Is it a nuclear test? Which begs the question About where we are going If the river is fast Why are we slowing Down? We'll Come to that later Sooner than you think While you're not in the water You still have to drink ...

For God's sake There was a fence There was a bench There was a moat There was a boat There was a trifle Moment There was a rifle There was a whore There was a war There was a lot more There was some gumption There was an assumption There was a creation Chaos There was a little There was a lot There was a child There was a cot Entangled Mangled There was nothing There was no sense There was the long and short of it Sentence There was no way out There was no way in There was no start From which to begin In all this madness In all this Hell I still heard the ringing Of God's bell

All and Sundry They all went through my life so fast I thought they would stay from first to last Given the present they soon became past Relegated to memories of having a blast Brothers, lovers, wives and mothers Sisters, sons, daughters and fathers All one act plays of fleeting cast Something about myself As the ship sails I watch the mast Caught up in the friggin' rigging I suppose you could see it coming On life's horizon Where the moment is vast While standing still In the middle of it All aghast As everything sinks In a colorful mess And flesh stinks A rotting cess Crawling toward extinction This Is the brightest outcome Yet laugh I will When tears erupt Volcanoes and beans spill All to make life worth living
