Raker's Way


To pave the Raker's Way
someone had to slay the course.

then came the day 8 wings took dream
with catastrophic force.

3 times denied at freefall speed
buried in the shreds.

Deceitful minds returned to sleep
and left hell's past ahead.

 


Decider of Wasteland


Innovative and Resourceful
stay the course, we must persist

Braindead and Unremorseful
he navigates the pretzel's twist

...
 

Wasteland,
Decider of Wasteland

You Broke It, to Own It
Wasteland

Can't Heal the Lesion

...

smart bombs and stupid slaughter
of "possibly innocent lives"

no-brainer, dunk in the water
a brainless chimp learns to survive

...

Wasteland,
Decider of Wasteland

You Broke It, still don't Own It
Wasteland

Can't Steal the Region

...

We have prevailed, we are winning
Doofus McFlightsuit said it's true

Last Throes Lasted Ever After
can't have your War and Win it too


Perpetual Show


"welcome back, the Game's still on
not a damn thing changed while you were gone"


i slither past your stale spawn
and seize the game by the Balls / a Queen for a pawn

***

as you climb downhill / torn by strain
your essence fading / the Game remains

 i give you nothing when
you give you pain

they tell me this / you're bitching that
you've been short-changed. .. ....


and So it Goes / Perpetual Show
it happens Every Day

you talk and talk
but nothing's all you ever say

ahead / one move is
all it takes to walk away

beyond your grasp
in my rearview you fade, .. ....

 


Time Is / Time Will


blinded by unawareness
can't see beyond the paper chains

why must i pay this price, why must i destroy
why must i change to remain

focus fading, am i? is it?
enuf to steer clear of fire /

connections melting Time Is turning my Keys into Locks
consuming me down to the wire. .. ....

. . .

 

I'll not just fade to silence
Time Will make this clearer

Stillness just breeds itself
and draws danger nearer

won't stand for needless pain
just drill straight through It

Full Force Collision Course
let's get down to it

 

I'll not just bleed in silence
pretending nothing's real

denying unknown skies
that could have been revealed

surrounded without search
by matter of observation

wordless language in the air
spell of creation


 

Second Zero


the bull at last seized by the horns,
the clock by the hands.

no hour captured by the glass
of Death Fade's Shifting Sands.


lesson learned / now / Time Ahead
No Second Zero's Rise..

no talk of pictures of some past
portrayed by unseen eyes.


Silence says more than Second Hand
your broken word wears thin
 

regain the faith  i once misgave,
and Rise from within


Lockstep Sludge


[...Holy Fuck It's Morning Again!!!!?..]

Falling From Motion
As Lockstep Grips the Swarm.

Procession to nowhere,
Rising Cycle Killing Form.

Don't Deny - It's Wearing You Down
I've seen the Weight of Wait In Your Eye

Green Light!! Does it mean a thing??
Why don't you do More Than Sigh...

 

what does it mean, falling under each other
unraveled, unreal

would we choose escape from this buckle
this seemingly needless ordeal

though we learn to gain ground somehow
Even when we stall

itch in your mind / of a better design
Should we be here at all

* * *


Silent Source


Reflection, Cleansing Sadness
Pre-Empted
by Reality Of Situation.

all Tears’ Precursors
Scorched Away
by Anhydrous Indignation.

The Burning Boldness,
Silent Source,
Unfaltering Resistance,

What Must Not Be,
Denied the Course
from which comes True Existence.

 


Signal Me [Co-Write With Richard Brinkman]


 

Signal Me if you are receiving
Signal Me and reach and touch my soul.

Signal Me if it's worth believing
Must be time to let it roll.

 

Signal Me from the farthest horizon
Signal Me on the darkest night.

Signal Me....spirits strong and rising
Must be time for taking flight.

 

Signal Me and wrap your arms around me
Signal Me if what you say is true.

Signal Me....with sparks of love surround me
Until the flood of morning blue.

 

 

 


FFF [Birth]


confusion insurmountable
begun at the end.

 

answers flood the void

from the outside in.

 

the divide at last fallen

the far ventures near.

 

the confusion so pure

that all’s become clear.

 

In the Fields of Forgiveness

I shed my sorrow.

The release of pain

Is pure and thorough.

 

In the Fields of Forgiveness

My demons drown

And I kill the part of me

That’s holding all of me down.

 

eyes of opposition

specks of light on the horizon

 

on my strongest days

i will them away.

 

sheer excitement fills the skies

soft and blue dawn’s waking eyes

 

And the magic grows despite

The opposition’s ceaseless sight.

 

In the Fields of Forgiveness

Love’s Sweet Fire rises

The undistracted mind

No longer compromises.

 

In the Fields of Forgiveness

My demons drown

And I kill the part of me
That’s holding all of me down.

 

 


FFS [Death]


condition inescapable
conscious karma won't end.

 

voices scream for escape

as they let themselves in.

 

the bridge at last buried

by betrayals and breeches.

 

the trash 6 feet under

recycled by leeches.


 

 

In the Fields of Shortcomings

I shed my dead hide.

The release of the life force

Aimless fate will decide.

 

In the Fields of Shortcomings

My love of life drowns

ashes is ashes

closed circuit shuts down.

 

[see ya next time!!

same bat life-cycle,

same bat planet. .. ....]

 


Destiny's Mind [Rising Beyond]


what did you remember, recapture
what did you inspire

what did become, what's your sum
did you climb higher

did you learn to forgive, to create
did you choose to do right

what will you feel when judgment day comes
will it be freedom or fright



no short-circuiting Destiny's Mind
no heart can erase it

no deceiving Destiny's Mind
we all must face it

and walk the wire of Judgment Day!!



and on that day there will come peace, but first
must come disputation

the strength to see, to rise,
 the greater situation

and on that day we will know truth
and cessation of yearning

and the Rising Beyond when the learning
outweighs the returning…



no short-circuiting Destiny's Mind
no heart can erase it

no disbelieving Destiny's Mind
we must embrace it

and rise Beyond on Judgment Day!!

 

[happy happy joy joy]

[yeah right]


You Can’t Make Me Care


You Can’t Make Me Care
That You’re Riding My Ass.

 

The Fast Lane Is Open
If You Want To Pass.

As If Without True Destination
You Can’t Make Me Care.


As you Pull Up In Front Of Me
At Long Last “Ahead”

And Slam On The Brakes
As The Light Turns To Red

Your Race towards Obedient Cessation
You Can’t Make Me Care.



the Blind Climb

to the Promised Void

 

Hollow Eyes Burned Wide Open
Their Vision Destroyed

the Tasteless Grey Blaze

through the Sweetness

i won't follow you there.

 

 

The hinge of fate turning

far beyond the grasp of the eye.

 

the speed of life shifting
look away and i might pass you by.

 

creation and change
forever etched on the mind.

 

the sight of life running

new scenery, signals and signs.

 

you can't make me care.

 

***

 

You Can’t Make Me Care
That I Don’t Race the Clock.

 

The Gauge of the Rat Race
The Cheese on the Block.

Skulls Crushed in the Rat Trap, I’m Past That
You Can’t Make Me Care.


the Aimless Battle

for the Upper Hand

 

they see No Tommorow
they can’t understand

Hope Lives Today,

Floods the Gaps Anyway,

they Can’t Make Me Care.

The Cycle / The Force


The Cycle Repeats

Its Cyclic Repetition.

 

Evolution’s Death,

Eternal Un-Fruition.

 

Exile of Progress,
Loss and Gain

 

Your Gratitude Expected

“After All, All Remained”

 

Cycle’s Break, pronounced

Unreachable Condition.

 

?



Born of this Tension Unresolved

The Fog Will Rise.

To Cloak the Battle, to Kill

The Black Intruders’ Eyes.

 

Within This Lifetime, Force of Karma

Will Balance the Scales.

 

No Encircling Karma,

Forward Thrust Prevails.

 


RTD (remove this denial)


remove this denial
this needless denial
don't allow it to stand.

remove this black hatred
this bloodshed and hatred
don't let it poison our land

remove this illusion
and deadly confusion
that could dim our best sight

remove this illusion
that nothing is real
and that no path is right

 


SHDD


can’t imagine my conscience being gnawed at

at least not in a new way
cause nothing new at all

can happen on a stale day

 

all the hate was the same.

 

got home from work and there were leeches in my living space

the stinky dog was stinking up the motherfucking place

we drank my beer; nobody cared; the TV blared disgrace

it was a goddamn shame.

 

soon I would be moving on

disgraced again

displaced again

 

soon I would be moving on

all the hate was the same.

 

 

waited for you

cuz you were late

just like most every day

 

got caught up chatting

called to let me know

it was that way

 

said you would try to arrive

said you were on the way

 

all the hate was the same.

 

you were later than late -- both knew it would be so

when you finally did arrive my heartfelt anger showed

i fixed your mess and then you cut my throat and let me go

 

athwss.

 

Soon I would be moving on…

 


the undoing


THE UNDOING

OF WRONGDOING

 

HAS AT LONG LAST

COME INTO EXISTENCE!

 

THE MINDLESS LEECHES

HAVE BEEN PARALYZED

 

CRUSHED WITH RELENTLESS

PRECISION AND PERSISTENCE!

 

THE DREAM COME TRUE

DESPITE THE ONES WHO TRIED TO FOIL IT

 

THE ANTI-DREAMERS

FLUSHED DOWN THE KARMIC TOILET!

 

 

 

THE DISPUTATION

THE DEATH OF STAGNATION

THE TRIUMPH OF TRUTH OVER LIES

 

THE RE-CREATION

THE SECOND SENSATION

THE SECOND SIGHT FILLS MY EYES

 

THE CYCLE’S CESSATION

THE PROMISED DESTINATION

THE TRIUMPH OF TRUTH ON THE RISE

 

NEVERMORE TO BE SHOT DOWN,

YOU IGNORAMUS CLOWN.
