Chewing On Glass…

Wasting time standing in place
Loss of progress… drinking it all away
How much suffering can one person take
Testing the limits has lost its time and place
Distant future becoming closer to the present
An ever lingering death seems all but natural
Hiding in this dark place the brain goes insane
Thoughts of suicide don’t seem so crazy in time
Once they are lived everyday with ease
Doesn’t make it right… only easier to see
Somethings a bit off… one dose may not be enough
To change what’s been done
One dose wasn’t enough to help erase
What’s been broken in here for so long
Better to at least try and overcome
Than to succumb to the waves of how I feel
It’s not like I’ve never lied to myself before

It’s colder in here than I thought…

Make no mistake
We’d rather watch you burn
Than lend a hand for your sake
Make no mistake
We’d rather watch it all burn
Than give you credit for making us
Make no mistake
We didn’t want to be here anymore
Than you felt the need to hold us down
Make no mistake
This isn’t a threat
Make no mistake
This is nothing more than a warning
Be careful of the monsters
You’ve forge around you
Be careful of the souls
You’ve felt the need to suppress
Our actions are dictated by your oppression
Our option are determined by your choices
Make no mistake
We aren’t going away anytime soon
Make no mistake
We’ll be waiting in the dark
To reclaim what you’ve taken away
Our humanity… Our rights… Our way of life…
Make no mistake
The time for compromise is ticking away

Some of us won’t make it… this is true…
But those that do… won’t forget about you…

Crucifixion
Domination
Blood sacrifice
Believing in a higher power
Description of the crime
Sitting around waiting to die
Prayer
Hymn
Words to get you by
Reasons to believe in more
Human down on their knees
Confused
Confusion
Questioning
Questions
Shut your mouth
Wait your turn
Lies
Truth
Facts can be fiction
Fiction isn’t always a lie
What the difference though
Between heaven and hell
When waiting around to die?

Good blend of topics touched upon today… It would almost seem like I am ready for a revolution… I’m not… But the world could use some change… Maybe instead of a war on drugs… we could trade it in for a war on poverty?… That could never work… I need a 200 ft yacht to see what this world is all about… and six cars isn’t going to get me to where I am going… We need something better than asking me to have less… When the answer is more…

Maybe instead of a war on women’s bodies… we could trade it in on a war on child welfare?… Everyone knows kids can fend for themselves… Their only real struggle in life is getting out of the womb… After that life is a real breeze… Am I right?… They don’t need to eat… or to be loved… or a have a safe place to live… Fuck… that’s too similar to the first one… this is harder than I thought… Need to start thinking outside of the box…

Maybe instead of a war on gender and sexual orientation… we could trade it in for a war on minding our own god damn business?… That’s really asking a lot though… Statistically speaking knowing what’s going on with you and your body is how I’m still breathing… and as of yesterday I’m really starting to get into competitive female swimming… The one with the hair… SHE is like a dolphin out there…

Maybe instead of a war on taxes… we could trade it in on a war on ending government waste?… I don’t know though… Accountability for our actions has never been our strong suit… Easier to burn the cash then to have to keep track of every last dollar responsibly… I got a lot of shit going on… No ones going to take advantage of blind faith and worthless ideas are the only way this ship can keep on sailing…

(Realistically though something doesn’t seem right when we are willing to give away hundreds of millions of our own hard earned dollars for an election campaign ad about how the other person sucks and our person is so much better… Based on nothing more than broken quotes and because they said so… But assuring teacher receive a livable wage is a step too far in the wrong direction of what this country needs… We need to be investing our money wisely and on things that matter long term… yeah, ok.)

Maybe it is better that we just hate on each other for no real reason rather than try to help each other… Maybe it is better that we don’t fix anything and keep everything just the way it is… It has worked this far and everyone seems pretty ok with it long term… Statistically speaking bombs are easier to make than to just say I’m sorry… or I was wrong… or I don’t know… or maybe there’s more out there that I don’t understand…

What I do know is blood is much thicker than water… but if you’re paying attention… it isn’t worth nearly as much… and the real name of the game is turning a profit… and these people will buy and sell fucking anything… Maybe if we didn’t value curated currency over human life… we could knock a few of these issues out… Now I am just talking crazy…

I’ll admit it… I’ll admit when I am wrong… I’m sorry and I know not what I was saying… As our lord and savior Jesus Christ once said… “Fuck’em all. What’s the bottom line?” Page 1… Line 1… The Good Book of All That You Need To Know… We all know he had better points but it is hard to compete with that logic… Personally though I have to agree with this zinger…

“It ain’t cheap turning this water into wine and if you’re paying attention. We aren’t here to have a good time. We were born to destroy, to corrupt, to punish, to hate, and statistically no one does it better than the human race.”

Couldn’t have said it better myself… I mean when he is right… he is right… The time for compromise is always ticking by… and there is always something waiting in the shadows to take everything away… We need each other not just one or the other… If that doesn’t make sense… Than I guess none of this really mattered…
