A bitter republic weeps out "woe is me," 
Holding on to hopeless baffling beliefs,
Nothing is sacred if it won't fill their needs,
Yet when they're finished, they stay on their knees,
Speaking aloud "Sir, I want some more."
Straight from the movies without saying please.

Art
Sometimes I understand it
Blowing hard
Leaves are scattered
While gathering up
Inspiration 
From the rays of the sun
Turn around
See what you created
Back where it begun
Darn
There goes another one

There's just 22.5 degrees
Not from the bottom to the top, but
In between
Doing nothing and incomplete
Being at the bottom
Pushing Gord in the swing.

Today I heard a triad
In a weird way it made me feel sad
Can't wait to get home
Get my guitar
Get the chance
To Try that

Yesterday I heard a melody
In an old way it still feels new to me
Can't wait to get out
Get dancing
Get clarity
Inpsiring

Last week I saw an act of kindness
In a good way it made me feel that
My kind is not alone
Not so far
Not fraud in fact
To try that

Tomorrow I'll write a poem
About all the ways I've felt this week
My blindness in a tome
Day blindness
Moon blindness
Blindness off the dome

Right now there's nothing to look at
Immersed in machinery
Not a technocrat
Not a plutocrat
Stopped avoiding art
To try that triad
But make it flat

What a difference a day makes 
I’ve seen the power when skies are grey
The impact of a toppled tower
Seen lives devoured that are never reclaimed
People that are never the same
Choked up in the powder
What a difference a day makes

Playing 808s and my heartbreaks
Drinkin Whisky and champagne
Forget the sun and the flowers
This is gonna be a long twenty-four hours 
What a difference a day makes

Weekends in the park
Played all around the bay
Rarely bearing witness 
To a mending of the cages
Yet on and on we play

Running through the fields
Making treasures out of nothing
When we see new holes appear
We rarely fill them up

Digging with our heels
Making new rules as the game unfolds
Developing new fears
It's been going for years, you know
In the middle of the day

Weekends in the park
Played all around the bay
Rarely bearing witness 
To a mending of the cages

We play it in the dark
In the middle of the day
The weather's never perfect
Yet on and on we play
Cageball is an art, a craft,
and a wonderful game

Singing out loud
For other people 
To hear it
Feel it
Steal the melodies
I keep searching 
Myself 
For some meaning
Breathing anxiously

We just need some time to meditate and breath
Like a tree our minds will open naturally
Burning logs in the fire as we sing our songs at night
Our thoughts oxidize, join the fire, and rise

Lo
Alas
Loneliness
Encrypt my heart
From all the lies
Malicious hacks
Injecting pins in
Plur attacks
Controlling +
Alt-shifted minds
That place
I know
I am reminded
Of you
And I
Am unrequited
Still life
It goes
With booming silence
That light
That love
That caused the violence
That's not me
I am the silence
I surf through wind
I soar with lions
Still all my life
I witness
Nothing
Blood
Spill from my heart
My crimson shining
Armor lay beside it
Quiet
Still life
On it goes
In episodes
No heart decrypting
In fear our fear begets
Compromising love to death

Nobody is so great,
Nobody is so pretty,
Nobody has such class,
Such taste.
Nobody believes in nothing,
Nobody learns scales for melodies.
I am nobody.

Read It?
Ask Me Everything
I'll push Gord higher on the swing
Taking pictures
Drawing them
"Oh, Well"
Is the way it is
Leave comments on my everything
Really mean them
I'll take pics
Screenshots
If they're jokes or kind
Or if young Will would crack at it
Backlit scriptures
Cherishing
The lols
The LMF-ing our A's off
And the rofl-ing
Sun sets daily
Raise the pen
Draw more
Take another pic
I'll call the piece Gord in the park
I'll post a link
That's my art
The Post
How I package it
The reason that I'm drawing pics
Writing poems
Sharing them
Have you seen it?
Draw it differently
Your art can be some savage meme
If you want it
Empathy
Feel It?
It's a personal thing

Bird sings low
Everywhere it goes
Solo
Volume decreased
Old Crow can't hear
Intricacies
Flyin' from old notes
Higher than most tho
Song ain't loud
Used to be
Bird's quiet
Crazy
Speaks
Feathers in beak
Live
Vibes to the beat
Heat
Released
Birds flapping their wings
Squawking their beaks
Bending their knees
Leaving their feet
Lotus grows pink
Cutting through deep
Low melodies
Low sounds of the songbird
Played on repeat

Whatever I did
I did it myelf
Fucked God and the Devil
Miserable
Accosting young rebels

When I was a kid
I sat on a shelf
Hiding in darkness
'til I piss'd myself
Not fearful of Argus

A game where amid
We sought and dispelled
My mother found these
Piss covered shelves
No brother beside me

She helped when I hid
She'd hear if I yelled
Instead she heard beveled
Breakfast cereal
Make music of rainfall

Taking blame for the good
Forsaking myself
Fuck with God and the Devil
I play songs as well
Drawing crosses in trebles

All over the grid
I marvel at how
When I look at these crosses
They offer some help

It's you
I want
I just mean
Do it
Want me
I'll scream
Drown them
More feelings
Of wanting
Longing
For something
Aloof
Trot of the hoof
Fall from the floor
Land on the proof
Smile at the whore
Missing her tooth
Trying to score
Good times with the roof
Ease to cool her
Down and pass out
Songs of abusers
Speaking of peace
Echo through darkness
Then she falls asleep
For something
Standoffish
I just mean
It you whose the problem
Not me
I just solve 'em
I can't be wrong
'Cuz I'm peaceful
And honest
And a really chill guy
If you don't mind me talking
At lengths just to show
I'm not racist
I'm mocking
Their race
'Cuz it's funny
Not Angry
Just Loving
That Pain
From Above
Automatic
Dark static
Creatures of habit
Throwing outrage around
Myself I won't have it
Outraged at myself
Myself never planning
To be holed in a cell
Living under you bandits
You won't have it yourselves
Yourselves being outraged
At all of yourselves
For all of your work
Education and health
Yell at your brothers
Strangers
Mothers
Escaping from hell
By throwing dirt
At the world
Insurmountable selves
By the billions
All with a version of self
I'm doing it now
Laying a seed
To expand
And develop
I mean
I just want to scream
These guys I girl dog about
I'm mad
'Cuz I'm me

Waiting for a miracle to save us, 
And we have saviors,
But they're controlled by secret agents, 
Waiting for a miracle to save them, 
And they have saviors,
But they're controlled by secret agents. 

His father wrote his epitaph, I know. 
He captured the hearts of the young and the old.
God given talent given highest awards.
He was yesterday's child,
So the day he got old...

Like midnight's stars he disappeared.
Fagments of influence rapidly spread,
Directing the youth of the afteryears,
But the man wasn't dead,
I can prove it,
'cuz dead mean don't sweat.

Heart Aches
Mine too
No matter what we say or do
Outtakes
Passing by me
Passing through
Outpost of the things I knew
I'll post about it 
Just to view
Last daze
Or maybe two
I'm sure that I will think of you
Darker days
There shines imbued
With brighter light of deeper hue
I sing
Though out of tune
Of hope this light will shine on you
Show us where we lost it all
Show me if your love is true
