Poem 4 "Apocalypse tomorrow"

2008-10-03T08:40:00.000-07:00

Apocalypse tomorrow

The burnout factor of the prophecies has Humankind worried
Our dependency not on drugs or alcohol
But on technology is causing our brain
To spin out of control with the planet earth
Shifting from one pole to another
With global warming freezing our judgment
Ocean reefs are transmuted to brittle matter
And fish is dying before it gets caught
A draught of hope yields only despair
Middle east hatred in the name of a fanatic God
Threatens to cut our oil thirsty throats
Corrupt governments spear headed by global companies
Grab for more control
Over greedy computer consumers
eat genetic engineered food while
hate is mutating in the soils of America
Exploding tumors inhabit our bodies
Acid rain is burning our vision
Trees the witness of time Trees the source of breath
Are cut down into ease assembled home furniture
Welcome to the table of Apocalypse 2009
Have aliens over for dinner and open a few cans
Of preprocessed whatever in your hide away bunker
May the rest of the world starve in peace

poem 3 "concepts of misguidance"

2008-06-04T21:07:00.000-07:00

Concepts of misguidance

rush forward rotten past
the one I can't forget
that I can despise you for
one last "For good times' sake"
the one I never had
There is the memoryand "The have been there"
that still hurts in many scarred places
inside the prison of the body
I am trapped with my hatred
What is a boy to do
when he is born too old
for the vessel that carries his mind
too little to protect himself
from the blow of righteous parenthood
How could you ask for my soul
to give you my life
to fulfill your bruised dreams
to clean up after your messed up life
washed out by greed and paranoia?
Oh, how sure I was from early on
not to replay your role, your lifebut
wherever I looked you were there
as part of a club of blinded chauvinists
as I stood on the other side of happiness
Mother, subdued by her neediness
and broken by a fear of life
went delirious early on
turning my life into the never-ending
ride from hell
I was her enemy, my father's son
Torture hardens what's supposed to stay soft
my heart never blossomed
until all the pain suffered
ripped it open to cry out for help
but no one could hear my silenced pain
It was always money you pushed in my pockets
bribe money, to clean your dirty conceits
from the insults you spit out
whilethe tears of my lost childhood
ran down on my face
You cracked like a statue
before my visual eye
the last pain inflicted broke you apart
shattered was our blood contract
you lost the power to hurt me
to love you, I was never allowed

poem 2 " Behind the Comfort Zone"

Behind the comfort zone

The paper said somebody
Must have seen it
It happened in broad daylight
Spring flowers spread like hope
The promise of rays of sun hung in the sky
Alone I walked
Along the creek
Which divides the city park
I dreamed of smells
With open eyes
Vanilla chocolate cinnamon
A yell for help
Tore into the day
Into my zone of comfort
She struggled hard
To get away
His giant body ate her soul
Reaping her last breath
Nobody saw me watch
From behind a safe strong tree
On the other side of destiny
The knife drowned
In the little river of her blood
The murderer's shadow ran
Far away out of my life
I just was too busy to be bothered
I walked on alone
Daydreaming of smells
Of vanilla chocolate and cinnamon

poem1 "Abandoned by my Religion"

2008-06-04T20:58:00.000-07:00

Abandoned by my religion

I was chosen to be perfection
Watched by the Master's eye
Scrutinized by the elders
Of the churches of the world
Found unfit by the holy men
Beneath their throne I crawl
To find redemption
To redeem my fall from grace
At the time of my birth
Born to sinners
Born to sin against God's written law
I am the example used
For evil
I am looking
Without seeing
I am lost
Without knowing
Where to rest
In this war zone
Of religion
