Hello to any who venture forth on the journey that is my mind.

I am currently an Electronics Technician and a college student. In what little spare time I have I like to write songs and poetry as a way to ground myself. The lack of time to process my daily thoughts leads to some interesting poems / lyrics when I finally sit down and sort them out.

I decided to create a poetry / lyric blog because I realized that there is no point in taking so much time to carefully create and coddle a piece of work and not share it with others. I do warn that not all of my work is family friendly, there is some cussing at times. It is not meant to be offensive, it is meant to be expressive.

I tend to write a lot about the things in this world that disturb me, like the horror film director that painstakingly creates a scene about a childhood nightmare that terrorized him during his innocent slumbers. In a way this is meant to be a wake up call. I hope and pray that you won't press the snooze button!!

I really hope that anyone who happens by this blog enjoys what you read. Feel free to let me know what you think!!

Armageddeon



The earth is falling apart,
I don’t know what we can do,
We can’t keep going,
Same old every day,
Nuclear Holocaust,
Terrorist attacks,
Environmental damage,
Death, Dying, Decay,
The rich get richer,
The poor get poorer,
The government gets stronger,
Democracy crumbles,
Homeless sleep in blankets on the cement,
Twenty feet away from an empty foreclosed house,
Do you care?
I think not,
It’s not about you,
Always about you,
Politicians buying their way into office,
Collecting votes by giving people debt money,
Electioneering, crooked fuck,
Watergate was nothing,
Worthless paper money,
An IOU,
The government can’t even back it,
So how can you?
I’ll probably get shot,
For telling the truth,
Communisms back door,
Money is the root of all evil,
Our government has the most,
Drug dealers take your kids lives,
To give life to their own,
Crappy education,
Can’t make it on our own,
The wounds gush like blood,
Through tourniquet’s of oppression,
Why fix it on my watch,
I can just leave it for the next guy,
4 years, maybe 8 at the most,
What’s another trillion in debt?
Borrowing money from a country that can’t feed their own,
Who cares about their lives?
We sure don’t,
Maybe someday a hero will come,
Maybe someday we’ll be happy,
Of course I personally believe,
Armageddon is much more likely.
