    desert desolation
    parches the spirit of man
    the mind turns inward
    to find the fractal beauty
    of patterns

    island woodlands
    waterfalls and beaches
    lets the mind celebrate
    the world that abounds
    with life

    the spirit of man
    is heard in their music
    and measured in adversity.

    which would you choose
    the country
    or the city?

    You've pumped your lies into our minds
    through visions beautiful and kind,
    that seep through every pore of me
    and cloud my eyes so I can't see
    the truth of the evil that you do
    and all the shit you put us through.
    But your visions are wearing thin
    and I can now see all your sins.
    I can see that you are wrong,
    and you've been corrupt for so long.
    Now the time is coming near
    when everyone will see it clear.
    Your time on top has come to close.
    You'll fall as fast as you once rose.
    Goodbye USA.

    back track - by zonabi

    space exploration in this chaotic nation
    will never last its expected duration-
    unless we acknowledge the unknown.
    we cannot pursue into further depths
    until we finish cleaning all of our mess

    we speak of advancement, we speak of evolution.
    but we never speak of the evil dissolution.
    it abounds the earth in many shapes and forms,
    and stirs the seas with un-noticed storms.

    set sail with me into the abyss of humanity
    as we try to explain the world's mindless vanity.
    sinful indulgence or unknown origins,
    we search for the time where it all begins.

    four corners pointing to the ends of the universe
    i speak to thee when you hear my verse.

    ~A Siren Sings of its Own Song~



    hate fear spite and vengance
    from me as the worms from a corpes they shall grow
    as the farmers plant life with sweat and with seed
    all of these i shall sow

    humanity my field that i work
    words are my shovel and ho
    i plant fear into your soul
    and hate into your eyes
    tending working dilligantly
    with love i bring your demise

    without even realising it
    you succomb to me
    lovingly and willingly
    just as the lies i weave
    my words a siren song
    curopting you to believe

    look upon your fellow men
    tell me what do you see?
    where before you knew of kindness
    now only misanthropy

    i tell you turn again to them
    tell all nations of this song
    spread the reach of these words
    have them sing along
    submit them all to my own will
    have them say the same lie
    all of mankind united
    brought together to die

    In my creative writting class the teacher decided to have us write about something very difficult and gave us a topic. This is probably the most disturbing poem I've ever written once you realize what it's about.


    ---------------
    The Gardner
    ---------------

    Sheets of glass cover our little world
    We can see out, they can see in
    Storms rage and fires burn
    All we knows is warmth and light

    The gardeners comes in from the cold
    Their whites coats cleaned for the day
    Their gloves go on, afraid to touch
    Afraid of pricking their bare hands

    The supervisor sits in a chair
    At a desk away from it all
    As long as we're here
    That's all he cares

    When we get older we leave this place
    To belong to another, another's embrace
    Nearly all gardeners are happy to see us go
    Having survived this long, it's time to step outside the glass

    A gardener comes in with soil on his coat
    A white beard covers his face
    Not content with the touch of his gloves
    He removes them and his filth drops down

    The touch of his bare hands upon our leaves
    A feeling never experienced before, something so odd
    The supervisor sits in his chair, behind a wall
    Unaware of this gardeners methods

    As we get older we flourish with beauty unmatched
    The gardener gets anxious and takes some early
    Lest some other take us when we mature
    And leave him behind, alone in with his soil

    By night they are taken, exposed to the world
    By day they are here in our protected lair
    The supervisor takes role and knows nothing's amis
    But as they get older there is something wrong

    Their leaves aren't as green as all others are
    Their petals aren't red, more pinkish and drab
    The water sits, too distracted to drink
    Soon they will wilt, their horrible fate

    Too soon they were taken, too soon they die
    The gardener offers nothing to comfort
    The loss felt by others, too busy he works
    Looking to find another to take it's place.

    We're too scared to speak
    Too young to understand
    He's too old to change
    They're too blind to see

    The first verse is terrible but I never came up with a way to restate it and generally don't rewrite my work once it's complete as it's a snapshot in time. I wouldn't want to change it any more than I'd want to photoshop an old picture. The rest of it is good.

    --------------
    The End
    --------------

    The pains of birth pushed me to the sky
    My viens emptied and my skin fell deep
    The rain that carved eternal tears down my sides
    Mountains and valleys formed after years of uncertainty

    Now waters flow from sources unseen.
    Etching wrinkles over time
    Birds flying overhead keeping me company
    A halo of colors telling me everything is okay

    Dark clouds drift by giving life freely
    Millions of creatures take a sip
    Only if man were rain would they ever
    Get a glimpse of all I have to offer

    I was here before man knew how to speak
    I was here when they learned to write
    I was here when they walked right by
    I hold on as they try to destroy

    For years they came and went
    Taking for granted all I have to offer
    Never stopping to smell the heliconias
    Or observe the gilded swordtail

    It cost nothing for me to come to be
    It cost millions for man to destroy what I am
    I offered them food but they desired their own
    I offered them shelter but they desired their own

    Never content with what can be had for free
    Considering money the only thing of value
    The clouds are lifting and my halo is gone
    The bright sun shines over a cloudy condition

    I hear a loud noise and pain shoots through me
    A loud crash silences a thousand voices
    Never heard by those that silenced them
    A shout of victory over an ancient tree that resisted

    A thousand fires came and went
    A spark from the heavens to renew me
    This fire will not cease, burning day and night
    To destroy my trees that they may grow their own

    As a son stives to overpower his father
    Men build concrete fortresses to the sky
    Thinking themselves mightier than who created
    I shake and they build again in defience.

    Water flows through every pore
    Through mine water renews again and again
    Through theirs, pure water goes in, poison comes out
    They have defeated me, I cannot clean this mess

    I grow sick but they're too blind to see
    I am hungry but they're too busy to care
    They have salted my soil with their wretched ways
    They have ******** my blood with their greed

    Now they are sick, the sky is not clean
    The water they drink cannot be cleansed
    The food they eat is contrary to nature
    They are never filled and desire more

    Soon I am naked but they still want more
    I have nothing more to offer so they look to the stars
    They see a red planet and seek to go there
    That planet is dead, at one time more dead than even I

    They have destroyed me and yet are under delussion
    That they can build another which has never been as I was
    I would have helped them long ago I would
    But the resources that would carry them are no longer

    Long ago man looked at wonder into heaven
    At the stars thinking they one day would travel
    They strived for years and hope nearly become reality
    But now they can never and their hope is dispair

    They die in a ceaspool of their greed
    The destruction they caused to me will now be their own
    As I rid myself of this human infection
    One day I will be reborn. But one day, they will not.

    my poem
    The truth

    In the eyes of an addicted man
    I saw the truth about everyman
    Cry cry
    Tears wash your eyes
    Die die
    Whatsha living for
    My my
    Life was useless too
    Say say
    That's what he said
    Pay pay
    For everything you did
    May may
    It cleanse your soul
    Play play
    That’s all the children know
    May may
    Be that’s why they're happy so
    Lay lay
    All you’ve got
    Weigh weigh
    Everything's got a price
    Clay clay
    We're all just made of clay
    So why why
    Don’t you see animals discriminating
    Slay slay
    All you despise
    Delay delay
    You're destiny is coming
    Day day
    Wait and it'll come
    Bleed bleed
    It keeps you sain
    Feed feed
    On your brain
    Don't Try try
    To hide scars
    They they
    The only human left in you
    I I
    hope ive said the truth
    bye bye
    to an uncaring world

    Its always better on the other side

    There’s bodies for the taking,
    Honey for the making
    You wana be tom waits,
    But your too young.
    So throw me away,
    Grab the green next door,
    Close your eyes against the plastic.
    Don’t squeeze too hard,
    The dream might burst
    And then where will you be,
    Just one more lone some soul

    Arise sweet heart,
    from coffin far below.
    Come back to me,
    so then I will know.

    That this is why;
    that this was how.
    So I will know
    that this is now.

    Come back to me
    so I can see.
    So I can breathe
    and at last be free.

    Arise from your sweet,
    silent, eternal rest.
    Come back, come back
    into my chest.

    A shadow of a doubt

    they came
    they saw
    they bore dismay
    of an innocence lost

    they prayed
    they swore
    they turned away
    cerebral holocaust

    from the pits of hate they came
    the neutered and the spayed
    they marched towards their fate the same
    betrayers and betrayed

    welcome to this nightmare
    with this bitter sleeping pill
    of little men with little dreams
    of little things that kill

    a plague of darkness to the end
    within to without
    generation skitz my friend
    the shadow of a doubt.

    Save Me

    Here I lay
    as your senseless servant
    accommodating your
    every move.

    The promiscuous
    insight continues
    and I laugh
    uncontrollably.

    Tears make my ocean.
    I drift for endless days...
    desolate; yearning for
    injustice.

    He thinks I am a fool.
    I will kneel down
    as words flow
    out of the pure lips
    he kisses her with.

    The disposition changes
    and as it continues to do so
    I loose the morale.

    Life will reciprocate over time
    You will question and realize
    that I am unconventional
    and a dreamer

    In the middle of the ocean
    hoping and praying
    someone will come
    to save me.

    Love's Fall

    BY Sargentlard *insert crowd cheering noises*


    Danced the dance of most sinful content

    To wrapped pleasantly in mornings shawl

    Righteous lust to mournful resent

    Ecstasies extreme but never love's fall


    Highest peak of Earth's design

    To deepest chasms of man's heart

    Great statues of equestrian splendor

    To piquant portraits torn apart


    Arcadian allure of humanity's kiss

    To decadent, delicious Satan's bliss

    Braved the tough, seen bravest of them all

    Heard the sweetest of the sirens, never being their fall


    These hands traversed the land with the companion of sight

    But never loves fall, but never in loves spite

    Never loves scorn, never its discord

    Never its hate, never its resort

    Never its comfort, always fear of sorts


    In the wonders may come, in those that flee

    Never love's hand, never with thee

    Whats a mans worth, through pain I know

    Whats a mans value, through heart I wait to see and know


    All that eludes me, in loves domain

    All the deludes me, through the eyes of pain

    Her hand possibly waits, this being however stalls

    Ecstasy driven quandaries

    But never loves fall.

    As it was, as it is, as it may


    Twelve o'clock, fixated on the beautiful game.
    Two stinging noises, back to back, the phone.
    Hello
    What are you doing?
    Thinking about about causing you pain
    Stop playing
    I am serious

    Twelve fifteen, I'm heading to cause pain
    She told me she wants to see a movie.
    But you see,
    This is a man's world
    This is a man's world
    Sing it James....
    You see man made the car
    To take us over the road
    This is a man's world

    Head and hat tilted, I suck on the deadly poison
    for it darkens my lungs and clouds my head
    Tonight is not a night for thoughts.
    Sing it James,
    This is a man's world....

    A slender, curvy figure drapped in a skirt the puritans would
    behead for wearing...
    A shirt, unbuttoned up to the middle of the chest.
    Nipples almost in view...
    And you claim to want to watch a movie?
    I"ll play along...

    This is a man's world...

    Moving the waists enticingly, bending over to reveal the nothingness and the plumpness that bewitch me.
    Cloud my head more, cloud my head more.
    Slowly, deliberately, confidently, skillfully
    A hand slides through the hair, another traverses the contours of a warming neck.
    Kisses placed here and there, warm air breathed hear and there...
    She wants it; she warms to the touch; she presses on me...

    This is a man's world! This is my world! And in here, I own you.

    Pleasure is pain
    Concentrate and attempt to anticipate the pain
    Feel the initial blow
    Sleep through the bulk of the feeling
    As I kiss and caress that soft, skillfully woven body.
    Shhhhhhhhh
    Be a good girl
    The pleasure is in the pain
    Listen and feel my tongue, warm to it and feel me
    Shhhhhhh
    Expect three quick hints of pain;
    Accept them
    Anticipate them
    Feel the high and sleep with the low.
    Pleasure is pain
    Doesn't my caressing hand feel more sensual?
    Warm to it, your senses are heightened.
    My mind is clouded.
    Shhhh
    This pain is pleasure.

    The cold wind blows on my face as I suck on the dark clouds
    The movie was perfect, but I saw none of it.
    She will heal and tommorow she will beg for the pain.
    I will want the movie.
    This is a man's world!!!!
    Sing it James.

    If i was you
    i'd be happier than
    I am not now

    i could know why you said that
    why you went home
    and why you come across so ugly

    i could slap myself in the face
    perhaps smell some coffee
    empathy would be sympathy

    for you

Y'all got ta be careful about who you fuck with and who you don't fuck with cause the shit get wild y'all. Keep your mind on your riches, baby keep your eyes on your riches."

    im lost in a world with no plan tryin to live life flawless
    things changing everyday times movin fast how long will i last
    i laugh, things still seem the same, its base, underneath i see no changes
    so much trouble in the world, cant nobody feel my pains it gives me strength
    and at the same time pray it doesnt remain
    everything comes to those who hustles while he waits,so im movin faster & my mind i left
    how does it begin?
    growin older colder and colder after all i been thru
    its hard to see truth but easier to see a lie
    became more cruel with no care its easier to be truer
    was hyper as a kid, cold as a teenager on my mobile callin big shots on the scene major
    lost my mind followin a heart of gold thats cold and well hidden, comin bak worse than i was b4 to the world i say fuck it peace out later
    a sick-cess
    no longer livin in fear my pistol close in hand
    convinced this is my year like i'm the chosen man
    drinkin liquor
    no pain,
    no smile lookin back to past memories thats hard to remember
    its gone the hurt comin it lets me know im still livin
    what doesnt kill me makes me stronger?
    this life has got me catchin up to God quicker
    who would figure that all I need was a hair trigger
    semi-automatic Mack 11 just to scare niggaz
    keepin no friends, not even aquaint ences
    just a bunch of muthafuckas that all feel the same
    we're all ghosts walkin thru the killin fields & my essence
    still remains unchanged
    im lost and not knowin, scar'd up but still flowin, energized and still goin'
    rollin so in it is it fate that makes me break
    on these jealous ass cowards cuz they evil and fake
    it ain't right parasites snakes and fleas crawlin
    suckers duck and get busted no emotion
    my devotion is handlin my business keep on coastin
    the futures in my eyes cause all I want is cash and thangs
    a five-double-oh - benz flauntin flashy rings,
    bitches pursue me like a dream
    been know to disappear before your eyes just like a dope fiend
    it seems my main thang was to be major paid
    the game sharper than a motherfuckin razor blade
    say money bring bitches, bitches bring lies
    one nigga's gettin jealous, and motherfuckers died
    aint nothing more than i despise than a coward and liar die
    adversity makes for ambitious wishes to rise above the coming tides
    what will it take? to get them off my case these bitches aggravate
    my emotions is like my riches, and within the beast awaits
    i've drowned suffocate and came back replaced
    one side free and the other caged
    i havent changed, only my perspective of the situations that takes place
    actin according to what they made
    gave em a beaten let me start again i have no friends
    and every breath i breathe will be another moment ballin as g
    they say i'm heartless, but thats regardless
    eternally i live in sin until the moment that they let me breathe again
    when will it end?
    take a look inside the hearts of men.

    Doubt

    I'm teetering on a hair-thin string wishing you'd pull me down
    This strange feeling has me feeling down
    Where, where, where? how, how? when, when? why?
    You must be there when I say so
    You must allow me to be there when I choose to
    I'm jumping on the rope, yet it holds
    I'm biting on the rope, and it kills my teeth
    I'm screaming but you enjoy my screams
    A smile is all it takes, and yet dutifully, you frown
    Pull me down into the abyss of your hate
    For on this thin pedestal, my fear of heights is getting the better of me
    What a strange and foreign thing, this emotion, this feeling, this...
    It makes me doubt me
    makes me fill my head with schemes of grandeur
    wear the crown I spitted on when I was falling with you
    Why must I doubt
    why must I trust
    I have lost myself and yet I'm still balanced on this rope
    You are falling in the lions mouth and the warmth seems embracing
    I can see my reflection on the whites of the mouth
    and it's screaming that you pull us down
    These focused eyes of the naive fool that was me
    wishes you had the love that burns within me
    This loving fool wishes you share the love you stole from me
    These tired feet wish you had the hate to pull me down
    Fucking images!
    My head is filled with dancing swirls of misty clouds caused by the fumes
    of your neverending capacity to elevate me when I'm up
    I fear I'm stuck until your unmoving body drags me down to where I belong
    Fucking images!
    Why must I distrust them?

    "Days of the Forlorn" Lyrics

    Jester: I call forth the Rets from the darkness...
    The Rets, aahh,
    He was born, yes I was born,
    Back in the days of the forlorn,Forlorn,
    that means that they were all doomed,
    Ha, ha, ha, what for?
    It was part of the plague that was spreading across the lands,
    The people never understood that it was at my command.
    I am the Retsej bitch tester molestej,
    I cross through the dimensions and go backwards into the inception of the new type of right,
    Not the right or wrong that you understood previously,
    all along,
    Haaa, I was not taught the fucking things that you were taught as a child,
    I grew up running wild, through the fuckin' caverns,
    smoking upon the fuckin' dreamstate!
    Now the fucking days have come, the planet turns,
    And all the fuckin'cars are in the stars are in the fuckin' constellation Orion! Aaghh!

    I saw the aliens, they formed the pattern in the sky...,
    Aaahhh, I responded gladly,
    Waving my hands,
    Shouting for them to save me!,
    But they could'nt come down.
    They had an agreement with somebody else in my town,
    And I saw that motherfucker with the flying saucer the other day.
    Ooohhh, sometimes things get twisted,
    the mind is gifted,
    And yet you always stay possessed.
    I walk within the lands of the Retsej,
    Bitch tester molestej,
    Yes I always stay the possessin',
    Haaa, Possessin' all the human minds,
    Molesting all the human minds,
    Time after time, time after time,
    Blaaghhh!
    Nobody knows it as well as the Retsej,
    The dreamstated mind forms inside of the fuckin' hallucination!
    Now I was living in the fuckin'jungle!
    Tryin' to communicate with the tribal people.
    I thought that I could do some good upon their lands.
    Haa! But next thing you know the fuckin' smallpox started breakin' out!
    I could'nt understand why...,
    They said the Gods were punishing them,
    I knew that was a lie,
    With my scientific background, Ha ha ha ha!,
    So I fuckin' swallowed their ayuaschua!
    I thought it would free the fuckin' people,
    Cure all of their sicknesses and take away the evil...

    He doesn't live like others do
    He can stand for hours by the window
    (in his dusty, tattered room with the table in the corner).
    He can stand like this and watch.
    He will not utter a word, not a syllable.
    He can watch the wind dance
    and blow the pink petals
    and shake the green grass,
    fighting to stand tall.
    The sky is a sad shade of gray,
    This means nothing to him.

    He is a man who puts knowledge above all else
    And you know, it's ok.

    Sometimes people wonder about people.
    Judge people who just live for themselves.
    Like they are to blame?
    Take this man.
    He doesn't know of anything else,
    He doesn't have anything else to live for.
    Sometimes people blame people.
    But when the torn curtains start to fade and crumble
    (in his dusty, unused room with the table in the corner),
    and the man continues to gaze past them into infinity,
    do you think he is searching for blame?

    He will wait, maybe forever?
    The emptiness he feels surrounds him, engulfs him.
    This pain is ongoing and endless.
    This man, he knows...
    Sometimes you don't have things to wait for.
    And sometimes, things change,
    The sun comes up again.
    Even for this man, it gets better.

    He is a man who puts knowledge above all else
    And you know, especially now, it's ok.

    It gets better.

    blood spoiled angels
    dance on my shoulders,
    my life is your breath,
    my blood spoiled angels.

    our memories rest in the graveyards
    and nobody sings
    to our cries,
    my blood spoiled angels.

    we're trapped between the gods
    their kisses, their shouts
    play violins on our wrists.

    there is noone to hear
    my blood spoiled angels.

    our ash is black sculptures,
    and tears freeze in slow motion
    never reaching the end.

    my blood spoiled angels.
