Hubris

My victory

Is quick to free me

From my 3D reality

Spend time

Contemplating practicality of my mentality

Respect the complexity of my duality

But I must respectfully disagree

This isn't time well spent

But time well wasted

About time I faced it

The ephemerality of my lucidity

Of which I will soon not be

Because I shall remind you of my big victory

Sanity doesn't suit my insanity

I prefer quiet illogicality

Over overtly stated obscenities

Can anyone hear me?

My words bleed profusely

Is the truth really this uncouth

I slide my mind into the booth

And enjoy a nice sit down dinner

Pay attention to the big spender

Because I'm a winner

Please enjoy this legal tender

For one night only

My pride is unlit cinders

Impractical Oppressor

The Impractical oppressor

Looks down on the lesser

Spits his game to lame

Never feeling deserved shame

Blind to the pain of the masses

Misunderstanding his role

In this world of the tactless

Get down of your high horse

We'll show you no remorse

One step out your ivory tower

To be met with extreme force

Can you believe this guy?

Even from the beginning

Hard decisions

Always sent him spinning

Fear has always been his motivator

Ignorant of truth and knowledge

He eventually becomes a hater

Filled with hate

As he sits down for dinners

Most often catered

The people hate in return

But decide to save their hate for later

Faced with an uprising

He starts despising

Caught up in the lies and

Can't believe his eyes when

The tides begin to turn

The people start to learn

No more bridges left to burn

No more folk left to spurn

Always led the easy life

Never had a hard time

Stayed away from trouble

Didn't ever think to cross the line

Oblivious

To the world around

Searching for his soul

In the lost and found

Painstakingly mistaken

Never his for the taking

Inaction was his faction

Forever losing traction

To late to stop

Continue crashing

Prerequisite

If the prerequisite for life is growing up

Then good for me

I'm in luck

See, I grew up

Long ago

Things I've seen

Things I shouldn't know

Maybe for the best

Maybe not?

Guess I gotta work with what I got

In some respects

Maybe I'm still a child

Buried innocence

Organized and filed

Logged away

Letters A through E

Lies the truth about me

If it's still there

Then did I fail?

Did I lose at life ?

Am I off the rails?

Unanswered Questions

This is how it goes

Keep on asking till someone knows

Frustrations boiling

Over the top

Now I know that life's a clock

Counting up

Counting down

Keep on going till it's drowned

Each and every one of us

For the universe this is a must

Please tell me

What did you expect?

When you failed the prerequisite

Control

A precious thing

Of which many go without

And few possess

Even the few that do

Don't really

Because their control

Pales in comparison

To the control of nature

Or the control that time will

eventually wear away

If the will is strong

Maybe the drink is stronger

It's up to you

At least that's how it appears

But appearances can fool

More than a fool

Eyes open

To the strangled control

Of a weakling

Such as me or you

Because of what we always knew

Proved to be true

Control only exists for the few

Tools of My Destruction

Tools of my destruction

Cause a cease of function

Watch the world burn

At the wrong junction

Seeds of pain

Make me stay in my lane

Gotta keep moving

Just to stay sane

The whole world is watching

Million jaws dropping

Hear the sound of the clock Tick-Tocking

Quick to spread my wings and fly away

But flight won't co-operate today

Dropping like a ton

Always jump the gun

Say goodbye to the prodigal son

One wish for me

Is that I could be

Back at the beginning

It would be plain to see

Mistakes that I had made

Things that were forbade

All I ask

To be redeemed and forgave

Too much I guess

Look at what a mess

This is the result of accumulative stress

Guess for now I'll just be falling

Looks like no more time for stalling

Looking toward a rock bottom reality

Close my eyes

Hope to avoid a fatality
