Deviant
When they hunted with rocks And threw their spears They never dreamed of the world ahead Survival Their sole concern Kill to live Let the fires burn… Change the world! We should all be kings Why must we do what everyone says? Let us go in our own way — Live to kill! May they one day pay… Lost in tradition The silent expedition Marches wearily through the words Of society Left out in the cold Getting lonely, getting old Hoping to gain notoriety From the classrooms To the streets The children of the world Are born again! Fight Scream Play Cry Hope Pray Always try To stay alive Don’t…

Unsacred Domain
On a dark desert highway There’s nothing in sight And there is no light to aid view All you can see is What’s right in front of you Your headlights don’t reach As far as you want them to And then Just like a flash of light It jumps out from the right And you can’t stop in time You try To veer off to the side But the road’s not wide And you can’t stop in time You can’t stop in time You spend a day alone In the desert sun You can’t find an animal Who’s days are done They know when they’ll die So they go off…

Trophies
A tired and painful journey Trying like all the rest Giving everything there is Striving to be the best Drawn towards a common goal Competing with swifter feet Others passing on their way Trying to avoid defeat Fighting to win — never losing stride Hating to lose — never losing pride A spirit burns within the soul Looking for the secret to success Adrenaline generates fevered confidence To be the best With common fame and glory An ignorance comes to pass Unaware of trifle motives Which in the end come last Making way for the future Which greedy hands erect The unstable satisfaction That foolish desires reflect… Personal achievement —…

Part of the Darkness
Part 1 Greater than infinity Larger than the sky Within the hardened hearts of steel The feeling you can’t hide Conscious of those staring eyes Looking in from the dark Makes your hair stand up on end As the fear you have sets in Fear’s part of the darkness That keeps you on your toes The part of the darkness The darkness you don’t know Set the stage for imagination As you encounter new sensations With widened eyes and much demise You have unseen relations Beyond the realms of sanity And blind courageous acts Heartbeat quickened in an effort to Discern fiction from fact… Part 2 Look into the eyes…

Fiction
We read things we know aren’t true And pretend to do things we can’t do But we play along So we can stay in the game Materializing thoughts and words Making moves that are so absurd That we fail to see We are all to blame We blind our children’s eyes We fill their heads with lies And speak of the untruths that we’ve read Fiction shapes their minds Leaving them hypnotized While we go on as if nothing was ever said As we stand for all that’s right We sit and watch our children fight With empty pride To save some other land Reality is fictitious In a world…

Alternate Universe
Phantom lights Distorted nights Fighting the dream beyond Shades of white Transposed delight Fading on and on and on… Underneath the darkness Parallel with time In between time — Ever-expanding Beyond reason Beyond time Denying physical reason Confusing emotional seasons It can take you for a spin And you won’t know where you’ve been Mind in reverse Mind imprisoned Alternate universe Constant sea Galactic breeze Fighting the storm ahead Fade to black Off the beaten track Sailing on and on and on… Caught in the darkness Exposed to the light In between light Ever-confined In time Beyond time We imagine what it’s like To be somewhere else When we don’t…

Fencing
Divided by primitive boundaries Drawn by primitive minds Neighbors become inches too close And worlds apart An intense infatuation With extreme exaggeration Overcome with freedom United independently To conquer or defend Against the unseen fear That has grown within Seeking separation From the unseen world In common desperation All of our secrets camouflaged Our weakneses unexposed When it seems that they might get too close We push ourselves away A governed imagination Secured at every station Overcome with freedom More than was bargained for Building higher walls To separate us all Divided we stand Together we fall…

Tomorrow’s Knight
(part 2 of Survival) Tomorrow’s soldier In the evening of a coming day Fighting for freedom He knows there’s got to be a better way But he knows he’s got to get away But there’s nowhere to run Nowhere to hide Nowhere to be afraid No time for fun No time for pride On the edge of the blade It’s burning inside him He knows he’s got to stop and fight But on this cold night Survival means flight That’s the best thing for Tomorrow’s Knight Cold-blooded killers Obeying orders to hunt him down But in their hearts There was something that they had found They couldn’t kill him They…

For Awhile
I hear the wind cry silent screams All alone to me I feel its pain — its tears, my rain My heart bleeds for thee Help me grow stronger all the while Give me your smile Sing to me a bit longer, stay awhile Give me your smile I long to be a contented one Traveling all the Earth Finding my way through All shades of gray Through solemn nights And lonely days I hear the cries of Empty hearts in misery Calling to me I see the rage of souls encaged They call to me I feel their pain — my tears, our rain Our hearts bleed for all…

The Balance
1 Life and Death Share the same breath Of each succeeding day Courage and fears Smiles and tears Molded from similar clay Reality Lost in tranquility Infinity Patience may die With temper increased But spirits will fly When the shame is released The Balance of the Universe Keeps everything in place Maintains a common space And preserves the unity At a steadfast, even pace 2 To love or hate Freewill or fate Or just some Wizard’s scheme One and all Fly and fall In a silent, forgotten dream Action Promotes a reaction Satisfaction The heart and mind Will unite finally As the ground and the sky Drown in the sea…
