Faketriot

Sprung from tombs of anachronism Fertilized in forefather’s pride The stench of spoiled patriotism Permeates from deep down inside Spangled head to toe in bloodstain The colors of idolized years Cloaked in the shroud of their disdain Are Faketriot’s impotent fears The waving flag of hypocrisy Sewn from fabric of our common shame Bears theContinue reading “Faketriot”

Superbia

In the dawning days of dysphoria Cliques of creatures could casually crawl Through ramshackle burned-out suburbia To the heart of a late century mall There a disembodied discomfort crept Across cavernous cliches of heartache Many lost souls inconsolably wept For fidelity they’re forced to forsake The withering disapproval destroys What the earnest dreamer dares toContinue reading “Superbia”

The Uncarved Block

Evershine

We are sons of suns Rent from cosmic dust Ageless yet ephemeral From clay to bone to rust Simmered in the primordium A fusing organic stew Each quantum thread unspooling Into seeds from which we grew Sparked by atmospheric bolts A molecular genesis starts Cellular replication explodes The whole not the sum of its partsContinue reading “Evershine”

The Invisible Cage

A system that is so pervasive and furtive that it has taken on a life of its own, adapting and evolving despite concerted efforts to defeat it. Like its natural counterpart, this prison is comprised of cagesContinue reading “The Invisible Cage”
