To let politics become a cesspool, and then avoid it because it is a cesspool, is a double crime.

Who Led Them In?
Nobody knows,
How their failures began.
Although everyone is in agreement...
Someone with insight,
To enighten them is needed!
One who is capable,
With abilities to free them from a cesspool.
But...
Who led them in?
Who amongst them,
Had been that convincing.
To lead them like sheep...
Grouped as a herd of fools!
Who hypnotized them...
To accept desperation.
And loss of a quality of life...
In need of a sacrifice,
To experience an end result...
That would bring an excitement,
With a festive mood that delights.
Who led them on?
Who amongst them,
Had been that convincing.
Now discovered totally wrong.
With a quality of life...
That has them infighting.
In divisions discussing...
The disgust of racial strife.
Fed like sugar to boost their appetites!
With more of this to spread...
As if the feeding of it is alright!
Who led them in?
Who amongst them,
Had been that convincing.
That a cesspool would be envied.
And the joy of it would uplift!
These folks are drugged and deluded,
On addicting lies some insist...
A continuance and need for it!
With claims someone with experience...
Is preferred to keep them dense,
And blanketed in darkness!

Using the commons as a cesspool does not harm the general public under frontier conditions, because there is no public, the same behavior in a metropolis is unbearable.

What and Who Will Win?
What and who will will?
The Euro and the Yen.
And those who have plenty of them.
And IF truth is pursued...
The cloak of deception,
Will then be removed.
And those who have been tricked and fooled...
Will then be pulled,
Out of a cesspool believed envied!
Addressing a mess,
Too many have been left to defend.

Traipse
In the hearth of the slumbering road
Where you saunter to extemporize maps
The amber tinkers with the pulsations
And thaw everything that darts through
Making a cesspool where everything sank
Including I and my futile endeavors
Amalgamating with the last tears
Of the austerely saturated gloaming.

Hollywood films have become a cesspool of formula and it's up to us to try to change it... I feel like a preacher! But it's really true. I feel personally responsible for the future of American cinema. Me personally.

Admittance
I was thanked for my honesty today
A noble deed.
The truth unfolded
A validation of an honest woman
But yet I lie
and I lie
and I lie
Just like him
and you
and you.
So where does that leave me
Lying in a cesspool of honesty
Or just merely keeping my head above water
Escaping death only to drown
In your sea of mediocrity

A Prayer [Sweet Spirit of Cesspool, hear a mother's prayer]
Sweet Spirit of Cesspool, hear a mother's prayer:
Her terrors pacify and offspring spare!
Upon Silurians alone let fall
(And God in Heaven have mercy on them all!)
The red revenges of your fragrant breath,
Hot with the flames invisible of death.
Sing in each nose a melody of smells,
And lead them snoutwise to their several hells!

Law Enforced
A mind seeking to be entertained all the time,
Receives what it desires.
And that is reflected,
In an environment that goes neglected.
With fingers pointed with accusations,
As to who and what should be blamed for the decay.
The evidence of filth shows.
And the call for more police...
To uphold and keep this ignorance in place is made.
People want to ensure their slide into a cesspool,
Is law enforced.

We are angry about paying the highest income taxes and property taxes in the nation and getting less and less for it. We are angry about our incompetent, dysfunctional government that pays no attention to the desires of the people. We are angry about the cesspool of corruption and conflicts of interests and self-dealing that is Albany.

About 25 years ago, I started out as a reporter covering politics. And that sort of just evolved into organized crime, because organized crime and politics were the same thing in Boston.

Culture of Death
Culture of Death
Like mindless sheep we blindly follow
all the latest fashions,
Because we're taught to view things
through the prism of our passions;
And so we give in to our lusts,
and covet, cheat and fight;
And then become the slaves of sin,
and say what's wrong is right;
And now while moral weakness reigns
we see our culture wilt,
As more and more we flounder
in the cesspool of our guilt.

This May Take Decades
To turn an inherited cesspool,
Into a prize winning Rose garden...
Is going to take a lot of time.
Especially when the users have spent...
Years of squatting to release their excrement.
And just when the scent of Roses,
Can be expected to bloom and be seen?
That depends on those willing to sacrifice...
The relinquishing of their rights,
For an upgrade of their decadent insights.
And for them who have become upset...
This may take decades,
To overhaul their medieval mindsets!
Patience and virtue has not been used...
To develop, protect or cover their assets.

Thunderstorms
The sky huddled gray
Fecundated and fulminated
Sending double-edged daggers
Of regrets and conflagrations
Into a garrulous downpour
Hoarding an obtuse cesspool
Where nothing will ever sink
An impermeable ocean
Of countless bantering
And when it ceased -
The thunder's timbre fainted,
The lightning struck abeyance,
And the atmosphere grew clammy
Like the perforated clouds
Mantling our remorseful eyes -
We are tired and despondent
Of the sporadic climate
And though I am no more yours
As I screamed "Never more"
That echoed into infinitude
My own firmament opened
Like a wound shorn by a knife
You are eternally mine
The climate was ever inclement
The daunted flood grew intrepid
The tress bowed and surrendered
As the glacial sting shuddered
All the sensation left vacant and ajar
Into the palms of your sculling wind
And the sky was ever grayer

Demons
They said she had a heart attack,
I think the creatures coming back,
And I am fine, coz all my love is electrifying,
And I can feel like a cesspool,
Wanna be with you,
And its my animission,
I better give my heart a listen,
And my creatures say:
All of your demons,
Will wither away,
Ecstasy comes,
And they cannot stay.
Youll understand,
When you come my way,
Coz all of my demons,
Have withered away.
Coz, all of my demons,
Have withered away.
They said, that he shooked
Himself to death
I wanna dance to my last breath.

Polluted With Deludedness
When I turned my back...
That's when I got attention.
They believe the held
Something that attracted.
And I had given up.
Divorced I was...
From that kind of stuff.
I tried to snap them back into reality.
Another insight,
That proved honest to me.
But they were polluted with deludedness.
And I had tired of the stench.
I left them in their designer trenches!
Shoveled and dugged,
Around them to protect.
They wanted to sell me...
Their used cesspool philosophies!
They believed I was crazed to leave their rage!
As they paraded their smells with a pulchritude.
That captivated their lack of comprehension,
With an apartheid pride they defended.
And I was out of their league.
Pleased was I to be out of step as well.

Can Not Believe the Odor
In a rush to flush
To collect in a cesspool sludge.
This mess has got to go.
It stinks and nothing about it is attractive.
Reeking from an overindulged diet,
Of hoodwinks and criminal intent...
That has blocked a natural flow.
And now has constipated arteries,
That once provided clear passage...
Ready to shut all systems down!
Let's hope there is still time,
To rid ourselves of this slime!
The best way to do it is to get it out in the open!
Many have been deceived and can not believe the odor!
The actions attempted to remain hidden,
Are going to smell for quite some time to come!
But at least the air is still safe to breathe...
And free of total pollution!
Right now it appears to be that way.
Unless that is also another illusion taught to digest...
And believe!
