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!!

Our Own Worst Enemy

America,
Land of the Me,
And the home of the Grave,
Selfishness, our unravel,
From the inside out,
Slowly declining,
Doomsday brought about,
By our own wrong doings,
When the fatal blow has been dealt,
It’s our hands that will be bloody,
Each and every one,
The rich and the poor,
The young and the old,
The white, the brown, the purple, and orange,
A country created as a whole,
Divided by the dollar,
As the country was born,
So it will someday die,
By the blood stained hands of both you and I.
