Political Purgery
Are we better off dead
No more painful miles to tread
No more pain to endure
Famine, disease
A whole lot more
The world is dieing
Can't they see
The constant calamity
Disrespect for humanity
You faithless politicians
With your lies
Sightless eyes
Get it together now
Put GOD on your ballot
Let him decide
Whether we live
Or die

10,000 Years
The world is burning down
Can't you smell the smoke in the air?
War, disease and famine
This demon, she is everywhere
Poets and preachers and politicians
They've all had their say
And we've got 10,000 years
Devoted to nothing
But tommorow and yesterday
If all of the ignorance in the world
Passed a second ago
What would you say?
Who would you obey?
I am here to say that
Peace is now
Mr. President?
I hereby pardon you of all your crimes
For they are just as much mine
Selfishness and seperation have led me
To believe that the world is not my problem
The world is not my problem
I am the world
And you are the world
Peace is now

CONTROL THE CIRCUMSTANCES May 6th,2011
Very few of us have been down in the painful cancer league,
A place of physical, mental, emotional chemo fatigue,
A fearful struggle to avoid being caught in an oncoming death trap,
They can keep you alive for a while, they say, but you feel like crap.
A constant condition of physical shutting down every day,
Getting weaker and more tired and get another x-ray,
Where dying might seem the better and less painful option,
But politicians and priests have lots of biased objections.
And death with dignity; politicians refuse to discuss,
The Supreme Court treated Sue Rodriguez with utter disgust,
While politicians stood back, did nothing and nodded their heads,
Don’t have to get involved because they’re indifferent feds.

What did we do?
What did we do?
What did we do?
From History it was all Written,
That man must never live to die,
But dieing to live,
Blinding to see,
Christ said of the man that will get the Key's,
I can never change the World,
What are Humanity doing today?
That what was done is going back to History,
The Genius are asking why Humanity is not getting blessed,
I think all things clearly,
God is Real,
Share love Humanity,
Love and Mercy is Worth the Lord's timing,
Merciless is only the Profanity of bad History,
Think of the Conquer,
Love one another just as Christ love's you,
Why deny the throne?
Heaven is where we all Dwell,
The stories that are Beyond Good and Evil came in Parables,
Whilst we Ignore the Word that was Written,
The BOOK live's forever.

That Depends On the Enlightenment of Your Consciousness
How much more pain can you endure?
That's a good question!
How much more would you like?
Would you like that with or without an appetitizer?
You seem to prefer your suffering done,
With a full voicing of complaint.
You seem to have awaited,
The moment of its infliction.
Then you began...
A whining without constraint!
How much more pain can you endure?
How much more would you like?
When did you decide,
That an enduring of it...
Brought to you more dignity?
And enhanced your pride in others' eyes?
How much more pain can you endure?
You seem to enjoy it with cocktails.
Or at least with others,
Who feel their afflictions...
Increases a degree of a perceived patriotism!
And of course...
No end appears in sight for your noble sacrifice.
How much more pain can you endure?
That's a good question!
But I am sure,
When you begin to hold yourself accountable for it...
You will awaken to discover,
The foolishness of your decision.
And those you believed had your best interests...
Kept you in pain to obtain their own gains!
And how much of their gain,
Can you endure at your expense?
That depends on the enlightenment of your consciousness.
And your willingness to seek some answers,
When you have been detoxed from your addiction!
Without the need to martyr or bleed away,
Your right to a peace of mind...
That has obviously become no one's concern!
And this is a lesson,
You aren't the only one...
That has to learn!

Torturous Pain
Blessed relief from torturous pain,
the pain, the pain that seems to remain
gives me pause to simply ask why?
Who can give this answer before we die?
Why should the body be compromised so?
There's no heavenly answer that let's us know.
The sins of the world always show up in men
and they experience the results and question when.
When will we learn to be kinder in our acts
towards ourselves, towards others and not turn our backs
on those that are suffering? Why not now?
Is there a brain-lock in our systems to show us how?
I cannot believe that a God with all wisdom
made our bodies so easy to succumb
to every pain and disease that's known
with nothing to stop it but a fancy headstone.
For if this is what we've come down to
then humanity is a failure.
The earth it seems has become a place
for painful endless torture.

Like Father, Like Daughter
My Heart is filled with anger and hatred,
So pure and liquid like blood,
Gently dripping from my open wounds,
Though I feel no pain as I watch in wonder,
With eyes of blue, inherited from you,
You, and all of your curses, constant shouts,
You, and all of your anger, constant fears,
You, and all of your lies, constant hate,
Yet I feel no pain as I watch in wonder...

Better Off Dead
I heard your mother died
Just a few days ago
And tears fill your eyes with grief and sorrow
Cause you to question why because you dont know
If there comes a time when we all, when we all must go
Chorus:
Better off dead, if youre going to believe
Better off dead, in some painful (painful) memories
Better off dead, for truly youll be free
Then to get down on your knees
Can you continue to go on and ignore?
A most certain fate you have grown, grown to abhor
If what you believe is true
And you have no remorse
No matter what you do, no matter what you do,
Oh, youll be on, youll be on the same course
Chorus
Can someone tell me why Im not better off dead?
I no longer deny these thoughts filling my head
Im left to decide for this path Ive been led
If theres more to life than just death
(solo)
Chorus
Its alright, Im only bleeding

Rarity Descending
A shallowness began,
Comes to an abrupt...
And such a public end!
A trend of secrets...
Kept to keep lies thriving,
Is dieing a painful death
For those unexposed...
To breathing a freshness,
The 'enlightened' have received
As a selected choice chosen,
Many years ago...
When truth was conceived and believed.
A pattern of inducements,
That have reduced humanity...
Can now be released,
To experience the securing
Of an endangered peace!
It's coming and available,
To all who have faithfully sought.
The wind is blowing with scents of clarity!
With a rarity descending...
That The Almighty has brought!

A Poem Written By Sir Henry Wotton In His Youth
O Faithless World, & thy more faithless part, a Woman's heart!
The true Shop of variety, where sits nothing but fits
And feavers of desire, and pangs of love, which toyes remove.
Why, was she born to please, or I to trust, words writ in dust?
Suffering her Eyes to govern my despair, my pain for air;
And fruit of time rewarded with untruth, the food of youth.
Untrue she was : yet, I believ'd her eyes (instructed spies)
Till I was taught, that Love was but a School to breed a fool.
Or sought she more by triumphs of denial, to make a trial
How far her smiles commanded my weakness? yield and confess,
Excuse no more thy folly; but for Cure, blush and endure
As well thy shame, as passions that were vain: and think, 'tis gain
To know, that Love lodg'd in a Womans brest, Is but a guest.

It's really questioning where humanity is going, and is there a place for the way we perceive things now? Does that have to remain the same? Is anything constant? The world is constantly evolving, as is humanity. It's really about evolution and taking charge of humanity's next step.

Blind Faith
Sightless eyes
blinded by darkness
enshrouded with fear
escorted by a voiceless scream
and ears that can't hear
The soul with a mourning heart
cries out with pain
as it's voyage for love
ends in vain
Unknown to me, of why I'm alone
I search for my family
the door is unlocked
but no one is home
Forevermore I ask, 'Why me? '
only an echo replies
and I'm led to nowhere
by sightless eyes

Two Walls
Before you stands to great big walls.
One is shame and one is guilt.
And these two walls that you hide behind.
These are the two walls that you've built.
I know of this, these last few days.
The time I did reflect.
Another wall it was called my pride.
And it's what I would protect.
Fight tooth and nail, lay my life down.
For whose life just did I fight?
For the people I hurt by my misdeeds?
Of course not, I was right.
'They deserved it all' I truly thought.
As I masked my inner pain.
'I did was was right' my pride replied.
And then the payback came.
It didn't feel so comfortable.
When I got back what I dished.
If pain is what you serve your friends.
Then it's for pain that you wish.
Do onto others as you do yourself.
It's what our savior taught.
You handed them what they deserved.
And deserved just what you got.
The painful truth I call it now.
When you live a life of lies.
So love your brothers and sisters here.
See through your Father's eyes.
Then never again do you have to live.
The life that you once lead.
The Father says He'll find the lost.
And raise them from the dead.

What Is Sure and Certain
What is sure and certain
Is death
Who is dead and who is living
Who is learned who is not
Not easy to tell.
We are here to endure
Everything that are
Transitory fleeting temporary
We are here to endure
cold and heat and rise and fall.
We should know pain and pleasure
We are here to feel and endure
And we know nothing is certain
Nothing is sure.

Surprise! Youre Dead!
Surprise! youre dead!
Ha ha! open your eyes
See the world as it used to be when you used to be in it
When you were alive and when you were in love
And when I took it from you!
Its not over yet
You dont remember?
I wont let you forget
The hatred I bestowed
Upon your neck with a fatal blow
From my teeth and my tongue
Ive drank and swallowed, but its just begun
Now you are mine
Ill keep killing you until the end of time
Surprise! youre dead!
Guess what?
It never ends...
The pain, the torment and torture, profanity
Nausea, suffering, perversion, calamity
You cant get away

Subjects That Are Taboo Mar 16th,2011
Has the “dying with dignity” debate reached the public yet?
Does it cause politicians to break out in a cold sweat?
Is it a religious thing or is it just not politically correct?
Should a long slow painful death be what we expect?
And why is the appointed Supreme Court allowed to decide?
Why not the politicians and parliament with lots of pride?
What do they talk about at these closed-door committee meetings?
If someone brought up death with dignity, are they subject to beatings?
Do our politicians think that they will never die?
And they will always be reelected and no one will ask why
Is assisted suicide on a list of things for them to do?
Or is it added to a long list of subjects that are taboo?

Over The Dead Body
Don’t fight over the dead body
Grudge and ego of people left behind
Could raise the worst world war
Don’t scared over the dead body
Silence and stillness of living human
Is more frightening than the ghost
Don’t keep mourning over the dead body
Sadness and lost of the one we love
Will be replaced by forever peace
Don’t worship over the dead body
Dreams could only be real and achieved
If we open our eyes to the world
Don’t disrespect over the dead body
It once belonged to precious life
Though the evidence corpse severely decayed

Faithless Heart
At times the woman deep inside me
Wanders far from home,
And in my mind I live a life
That chills me to the bone.
A heart, running for arms out of reach,
But who is the stranger my longing seeks?
I dont know.
But it scares me through and through,
cause Ive a man at home
Who needs me to be true.
Oh, faithless heart,
Be far away from me.
Playing games inside my head
That no one else can see.
Oh, faithless heart,
You tempt me to the core,
But you cant have a hold on me,
So dont come around anymore.
(the feelings here, god, the feelings here.)
God, you know my feelings here
Could wipe my world away,
Ravaging the promises
A stronger heart once made,
So hold me, Im falling so fast,
And tell me that the fighting inside will pass
As I walk away,
And find the strength to choose
The man who waits for me
With a heart thats true.
Oh, faithless heart, (faithless heart....)
Be far away from me.
Playing games inside my head
That only I can see.
Oh, faithless heart, (faithless heart....)
You tempt me to the core,
But you cant have a hold on me,
So dont come around anymore.
Faithless heart!
Oh, faithless heart, (faithless heart....)
Be far away from me.
Playing games inside my head
That nobody else can see.
Oh, faithless heart, (faithless heart....)
You tempt me to the core,
But you cant have a hold on me,
So dont come around anymore.
Well, you cant have a hold on me.
So dont come around.
