There I lie , stuck in quicksand
Watching my unfinished home
Easier to lay here, give up on effort,
Ignore all time Flown
But Now, I realise
that comfort is Masquerader,
Assassinator of potential
of my true self
My true self
TRUE SELF!
There’s no choice but to erupt from care
And vanquish present fears,
Time to form past ash into lightning
And make lava out of tears.
POWERFUL FORCE! POSITIVE CHARGE!
The heart explodes in all directions, the Rhinos stampede!
Out of mind’s eye, the muse not seen,
Yet there she is observing,
With great amusement, AMUSEMENT AND GLEE!
I released
That I forgot that comfort is Masquerader,
Assassinator of potential
OF MY TRUE SELF!

Fearing unknown presence in the middle of the night
A Paralysing pressure but nowhere in sight
A comatose inducer in the lands of in between
Awaken nor Slumber… Void , Devil, Witch-Queen?
GHOST! PRESSURE!
The night, The Night, THE NIGHT HAG!

We won't judge you by your smarts , your title, your class.
Instead, it’s what’s in your hearts
But piss it all away by being a racist dumbass
Generalisation of race for simpletons
Blinded by fear, mule-blinder way of seeing
Inadequacy of their lives, a shift of blame
To people seen less than Human-Being
They’ll define it as an invasion
But since when did invaders attack…
All dehydrated, weak in tattered clothes?
Bonehead nationalism , keep that shit up your fucking crack
Generalisation of race for simpletons
Blinded by fear, mule-blinder way of seeing
Inadequacy of their lives, a shift of blame
To people seen less than Human-Being
Murdered, walking home from the game
For being a black man…
LASSANA CISSE SOULEYMANE!
Don't forget his name… killed by those sworn to protect us all.

The blizzard had him frozen down to the bone
Frozen lips, talkative as a stone
Now thawing, an effort to lift up his head
Mouth finds reason to make sense of this dread
The answer he sees now seems so crystal clear
But not enough time has passed for his eyes to adjust
Beyond stormy tundra, all he saw was… MIRAGE CLARITY!
False Epiphany… FEPIPHANY
Faux vision ends, back in the raging cold snow
At least the body moving, even if slow
Legs charge to salvation at incredible speed,
Alas, snail’s pace, another delusion in deed
The answer he sees now seems so crystal clear
But not enough time has passed for his eyes to adjust
Beyond stormy tundra, all he saw was… MIRAGE CLARITY
False Epiphany… FEPIPHANY
‘Back here again, this must be a CRUEL JOKE!
I’LL NEVER GET HOME!’’, are the words he spoke.
‘’Everytime I think I have it right , I get it wrong, home is where the heart is, the heart is gone!
I need to find my own again, search in the snow.
Ensure the time it takes, though miserably slow.
CAN'T FORCE CLARITY AGAINST HOW I TRULY FEEL!
THINGS TAKE COURSE TO A PATH THAT'S TRULY REAL!’’
Walk to the tune… walk to the tune of nature
Walk to the tune… walk to the tune of nature
WALK TO THE TUNE OF NATURE I SHALL SING!
WALK TO THE TUNE OF NATURE I SHALL SING!
WALK TO THE TUNE OF NATURE I SHALL SING!
Wait… I see Gravel… It’s Spring.

SICK OF MY LIFE!
FEEL LIKE A BUM!
ESCAPE FROM MY STRIFE!
CONTACT A MEDIUM!
A SPIRIT ON TO ME!
WHO SHALL I BE?
STRONG AND SEXY!
PATRICK SWAYZE!
Awake, I surf a point break, totally gnarly!
My crew of ex-presidents on a robbing spree.
Dirty Dance with lover, the judges in suits
Dance with pants that accentuate my glutes!
I’m at roadhouse, roundhouse kicking thugs!
I’ll avenge my mentor , then schlep these bleeding lugs!
Back as a ghost into this life...
I’ll do sexy pottery and steal your hottie wife!
NO MORE STRIFE!
NO MORE FOLLY!
STOKED ABOUT LIFE!
THANKS FOR YOUR BODY!
ADVENTURES AHEAD!
FUN FOR THE UNDEAD!
STRONG AND SEXY!
PATRICK SWAYZE!

Misinformation!
Miscommunication!
Fake fantasy lies
Indoctrination and lies!
A short- sighted quest!
For brittle popularity
An infinite jest
That leaves you empty
Staring at screens
Little doomsday machines!
Artificial dreams of social validation
A false sense of perfection
An ongoing mental coup !
THUMBS UP FOR DECIEVING AFFIRMATION!
A DOPAMINE-DRIVEN FEEDBACK LOOP!

What did I say?!
What'd I do?!
I open this can of worms on you!
I'm the king!
No, I'm the queen !
I'LL RIP OUT YOUR SPLEEN!
Oh, what now ?!
What d'you want, you?!
You're doing that fuckin thing you do!
I'm sick of your shit!
I'm sick of your face
YOU GOD-DAMNED DISGRACE!
Mental gymnastics the game
Whoa, we're all insane!
These "feats" of hierarchy
It's all head-fuckery!
Change your make-up!
You dress like a chav!
I micro-manage all you have !
You live as an oaf!
Learn to behave!
I'M NOT YOUR FUCKING SLAVE!
You're Stunningly beautiful
So dapper and tall
A couple suited for a royal ball.
You make me whole
You keep me grounded....
YOUR SARCASM IS NOTED !
Mental gymnastics the game
Whoa, we're all insane!
These "feats" of hierarchy
It's all head-fuckery!

It charged at you with awful hiss
It threw you down into Abyss
It pounded you down, down with fists
DOWN YOU GO, THERE BELLOW!
Missing for years, we all cry
Still have hope, You cannot die
Everyone worries, as you lie
DOWN THERE! WITH CREATURE!
We are the Search Party
To find out where you are
We are the search party
We’ll travel the depths far
Travel the depths into Abyss
Signs of struggle, C’yant a-miss
Of clawing and scratching of wall of mist
DOWN WE GO! THERE BELLOW!
Further descending the hissing gets louder
Approach damp corner we see no monster
She looks at puddle, monster in mirror
ALONE FOR YEARS! ALONE IN TEARS!
We are the Search Party
To find you all alone
It takes more than a search party
To slay a demon that is your own.

The Ancient tribespeople , they hunt and gather
Woolly Mammoth is spotted yonder
Little did they know that the tribes competed
Mammoth numbers are now depleted… Depleted.
DEPLETED!
He’s the king of all species , and he’ll rule them all
He stands above them, and he stands so tall
Tools made for his perseverance
Superior cognitive evolved intelligence …Intelligence.
INTELLIGENCE!
Another known currency was the land around him
Spill brother’s blood for resource supremacy.
Ignore Earth’s stock, post industrial revolution
Technology Advances to boost population… Population…
POPULATION!
She holds the black blood, Mother Earth
Tapped for what she’s worth
EXTRACT IT FROM THE GROUND!
EXTRACT IT FROM THE SEA!
Empty veins are found
Cut her tree-bronchioles , so difficult to breathe
He poisons her body to suit his own needs
SHE SCREAMS!
RAKE THE SEA FLOOR !
CONSUME IT ALL!
Ocean life is no more.
SHE HAS A FEVER!
TEMPERATURE IS RISING !
Oh my , he’s deceived her
It's a pity about man, on always having her cure
But man he suffers from delusions of grandeur
How I wish for gods to exist
Man shall pay for his hubris
Greater than mankind
To keep him inline.
