Time to start the stream once
Time to start the stream once again
Consciousness flowing, my forgotten friend
It's been too long, how've you been?
I can't pretend
I've just gotten on the mend
Following this old trend
of mine.
You want to be safe,
you try to escape,
but no silly belief will prevent your fate.
We have this one life,
no eternity awaits,
death is but an end to strife,
not some gate to pain or paradise.
Run though you might,
you'll never escape,
the long sight of death
and his permanent gaze.

What Nothing Means To Me
Nothing never judges,
Nothing never chides.
Nothing never decided who lived and who died.
Nothing always accepts,
Nothing always deals.
Nothing always tolerates different ideas or ideals.
I've never asked Nothing who to hate or what is love.
It wouldn't tell me anyway,
That's not what Nothing is of.
Nothing doesn't comfort,
or supply false pride.
Nothing doesn't promise paradise.
I wouldn't ask Nothing anyway.
It'd be a bit presumptuous.
I've never given Nothing so to expect all is ridiculous.
I believe in Nothing,
As it allows me to live
As just a homo sapien with just this life to give.
With lobbyist power being the highest it's ever been, I've come to a conclusion: Not voting is the greatest protest that can ever be done, but only if it is done in enough masses. That being said, I will continue to vote, in an attempt to mitigate the damage, or hell, even find a good politician that'll never win but I actually like, until the voter turnout for a presidential election falls below 35%. When that happens, I will be the most vocal person supporting this and will never vote until there are changes that prevent corporate influence in politics.
My theory goes back to the social contract. There's an agreement between government and

So much for staying away
We stand at the pinnacle of corporate control of our nation. Their support in the supreme court has afforded them the same rights as the citizens who actually care about this nation. Their support in the supreme court has put them above our laws because they are now allowed to write their own. Their influence in congress, the house of representatives, and even the White House has gotten them billions of our tax dollars. All the while our legislative branch, the people elected to represent us, want to cut programs that benefit us, that we paid into, while preserving this corporate welfare. If nothing else, we must remove this cancer of corpora
It's finally happened;
Burned(out), disillusioned, depressed(?)
I tried to know all the world's problems
There are too many of them.
I am overwhelmed
I am tired
I am...
I am...
Taking a break.
Morning,
signaled by a brilliant light encroaching over the horizon.
A beautiful signal of the new day.
Things to do, people to meet
fun to be had.
Mourning,
found stalking
freshest in hospital halls
lingering in church corridors and columns
permanently intrenched in once open fields dotted with granite.
Homophonic dichotomy of language.
Death is death.
I'll fight it when it comes.
I'll do my best to avoid it.
One thing I will never do
is fear it.
It's liberating I tell you.
Getting that weight off your mind.
That constant nagging thought
that you never quite grasp
in the darkest, quietest
reaches.
I close my eyes and see life as it is;
Short. Finite.
No great struggle between good and evil.
No greater message.
No salvation.
Just Life
and Death.

I Am Left With
I am stripped of dignity,
motivation,
humanity,
and
life.
Real living,
not just existence.
I'm left with despair,
violence,
pain,
and
time.
Nothing but time,
for an ounce.

Healthy, Wealthy and Wise.
Come here son,
sit and listen,
as I spin my yarn of lies.
I will teach you how to grow up
to be healthy, wealthy and wise.
Eat your GMO's,
take your vitamins
and drink your pesticides.
Let me teach you, son, how to grow up
to be healthy, wealthy and wise.
Backdoor deals,
insider trading,
thievery and bribes.
Come now, don't be foolish
get yourself healthy, wealthy and wise.
Survive our broken system,
got your paper?
No surprise.
Congratulations! You're on your way,
to being healthy, wealthy and wise.
Ditch your friends,
forget your family.
Here, use my back to reach the skies.
Now you're there!
You've finally made it!
Shovel all the dirt,
Till we get done
Here's a shovel for your hand,
Let's bury them one by one...

On the 25th of May,
There are 57 people,
Gathered by the grave...

Never did they think,
He'd come back alone...
He said he was signing up,

But for some strange reason,
They sent him to Iraq...
The preacher says the words,
They are old as time,
And everyone has heard them,
They've got them memorized...

And a man folds the cloth,
Gives it to momma,

She looks him in the eye,
And says "Take it back,

Hey children
Oh hey it's time now
To watch the world burn down
Let the elitist counter culture
Go ahead and drown
In a sea of fire
That's what I desire

Lets burn their homes
And leave them alone
And let them return to the sand
It's the Armageddon hour
Bombing prisons and watchtowers

Good
It's time for another game of anarchist twister
Burn you down and spit in the blister
Circumcised by your twisted sisters
Testosterone laced radio-brainwave chloroform

Speak against those who seek to control you
And find yourself locked in a cell.
They beat you, the bruises glisten like ink.
Will you die at their hands?
Time will tell.
Bald heads shine in the sun,
As crimson clothed monks walk for peace.
Defying their rules to end the suffering-
The endless bellies underfed, the students who take gunshots
To the head.
A rise in fees leaves ill at ease
Citizens who cannot even call themselves such.
Fed misconceptions, and simple transgressions
Come from shouting their cry:
Our cause!
Your words are not safe in city streets.
Each may be stolen and used as an unspoken trial,

The Nihilist Manifesto
It is my overall thought that there is no thought
That there is no "truth" because everything is a lie
Everything is delusion. Not real.
I don't believe in anything.
There is no God, no afterlife.
No life, no truth, but mainly...
NO FUTURE!
Hypocrisy in front of me
Corruption of mental politics--
Incapable to fix.
Can't follow its own democracy--
Failure of its own policy--
the ultimate collapse of honesty.
Lack of loyalty to the community,
the unity has been divided.
A leader's words turn to acid
flooding every citizen's passion.
The elephant's face becomes an ass
ignoring the repetitive past--
Dictating fate.
America's become a wasteland.
A Texas ranger takes the stand,
like watching a monkey at the zoo
he's preaching to preserve bananas.
His puppets listen to his propaganda.

Methods Monster
I'm confounded by problems of lyrical nostalgia
A side taken too often
never consider the option
that there may be another.
The treaded path,
not the way of broken souls
but it's still worse than... something... else or...
Never fear a new race
never fall behind the pace
there is always someone to take your place
Here, common interests diverge
locked as they are submerg--
ed in a wondrous dirge
sitting on the verge
of a new serge--
ing explosion of an intellectual ideal from the misanthropic mind
no longer capable of managing the time--
s certain interests have been served while others are left silent
Don't mind me

What to say? That whole describe yourself in a paragraph is kind of difficult. One thing I can say is that most of my "art" will be poetry with perhaps a little bit of musing prose.
Ok, finally figured out what to say if anyone has a few minutes to waste. I live in the northeast united states. I despise anyone who gains public support through misinformation, fear, or outright lying (I'm looking at you every politician ever!). I may have made a generalization there but in most cases I am correct. I tend to like my time alone, plotting the downfall of the USA some would say, I would say that only comprises 20% of my thinking alone, the other 80% goes to a random amalgam of strange thoughts and impossible scenarios. Typically I spend my days working construction for a family friend, come home exhausted, and do nothing physical for the rest of the day...unless a band I like is in town. Then I go to a show, probably alone (sad right?) that probably costs nothing more than 20$ in a venue for no more than 500 people. On the weekends, I paint the front of my house because the fucking housing court seems to give a fuck.
Though I am a poet I consider myself a highly logical person...except for when I am being silly. I am rarely driven by emotion, rather, I like to say I am driven by a sense of justice and fairness.

This hasn't really gotten any MSM attention so I figured I'd do what I could to call attention to it here. A group of protesters has decided to camp out on Wall Street for an extended period of time should they manage to avoid all getting arrested. It's a fairly sizable protest and the police response has been... inappropriate to say the least.
I'll leave a link so you can judge for yourself.
