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

Alight with love he throws awry,
Pursuing human desire and fortune.
Poor reptile intellect, ignorant,
Jabbing until he finds himself.

Deep in the forest
Between pleasure and pain
Screams are so violent
Yet silence remains
How often do you think of me?
Or remember my name?
Am I just a memory?
Or do you ever think of me?

Stridently hopeless
Lotso' talk about games
Stammers to silence
There it goes again again
How often do you think of me?
Or remember my name?
Am I just a memory?
Or do you even think of me all?

Tomorrow, if you picture it;
Another chance to witness someone else's bliss
And envy it
And live your life in envying
Green both in your mind and in your skin
Clad in purple cloth worn to protect your sins
And mourn the loss of love you stitched into it

Around me I see
Ghosts of a memory
Smoke in the air I breathe
A complete lack of energy
Dogmatic discomfort
Dogmatic disbelief
Friends crushing my dreams
Becoming the enemy

I'm Building a fortress
To honor my name
To scream at the silence
To wander in pain
To wonder in fantasy
Living each day the same
Do you ever think of me?
Or am I just a memory?

Deep in the forest
Between pleasure and pain
Screams are so violent
Yet silence remains
How often do you think of me?
Or remember my name?
Am I just a memory?
Or did you ever think of me at all?

Lamenting the loss of colour
Youths clamor at discomfort
Accosted, encumbered
All my life
A series of numbers
Fumbling afterthoughts of others
Dudes stammering and sunburnt
Call lost in the dark wood
Flames alight
A series of numbers
Defining the cost of squalor
Tomes hammer where mallets weren't
None fumbled, nothing learned
Say it right
A serious slumber
Prevented from dreaming color

I can see her;
kissing now.
My Melita;
buzzing round.
In the country,
In the town,
In the streets,
And on the ground.
On the subway,
In the suburbs.
Skipping supper;
Back street clubber.
Just a number.
Body of stats,
Sizes,
Dimensions,
Hobbies.
Pride;
Absentia.
Lies she said,
And I believed them.
Yeah?
Did I believed them?
Yeah.
She did too;
Watching me receive them.
Not well.
She buzzed away,
Asked if I could leave her.
Not today,
I chased,
Now I still can't see her.
Now I'm still left waiting.
Thoughts of honey,
And my Melita.

Same,
Not same.
Metaphor;
Open gated.
Similar as a simile stated.

A Ballad of the Soft Sophist;
When trying to scream,
They said 'oh, stop this!
Stop the sophist speaking free.
Sophist softly speak to me.
And make me pay,
And teach me duly,
And teach me how to write so bluesy!'

Sophist took their time instead,
Folding shapes from paper heads.
Writers spending days in bed;
Dazed and gazing at their pens.
At night they sleep and then they start again.

A ballad often spoke softest;
When the sophists screamed,
They said 'oh, stop this;
Education should be free.
Sophist slowly speak to me.
In loving way,
In budding grace,
In virtue is the value based.

Repeat,
Repeat.
Repeating repetitions.
Repeating repetitions repetitively!
Repeat repeating repetitions.
Repeat repeating repetitions repetitively!
Repetitively repeating repetitively repeating repetitions!
Repetitively repeating repeat repetitions repetitively repeating?
Repetitions..
Repeating repetitiously.

A poetic community
Continuously
Refining
Originality.
Silent storms
Tumultuously
Inciting
Communality.

After everything I see
Before me in the seats
Cynics in the streets
Dissecting the diseased
Everything I see
Finding something to believe
Giving credence to contrarians
Heretic as it seems
I laugh
Just trying to fit in
Kidding like a kid
Laughing
Making them believe
Nothing as it seems
Only people watching
People watching leaves
Quietly in peace
Raging afterwards
Sighing in relief
Totally alone
Utterly at peace
Vexed with my existence
Waiting patiently
Xeroxing mentally
Yakking at the internet
Zoning out on poetry

Would it be poetic justice?
Would it be just at all?
If I saw it in the paper.
"Obama killed by drone."

A confection, black and round.
With sugar and gelatin.
Found in allsorts; the young child's delight.
Bound in or licorice filled.

To maintain the same shape,
See the molds are all pre-made.

Shine, wax of bees, and molasses,
Failing potassium,
High blood pressure and heart failures,
Can be found in some.

Chewy ropes made, flat and round.
Bound with gum arabic.
As the crowd swarms, by trucks in the light.
Absurd to stock it at will.

To maintain the same shape,
See the molds are all pre-made.

Shine, wax of bees, and molasses,
Effecting the young,
Low IQs and behaviors,
Green stools of your own.
