We hopped along to rhythmic chaos

The stars above the playground shined

The swings swung on their own

We sat on the slide

and slid into oblivion

 

The music tranquilized our

vicious, distorted hearts

We hopped along to

a titanic transformation

 

The awning of the desert

rocked the boats in the sea

In the jungle was where we feasted

upon a dagger to our souls

 

We rocked the boats

of a meaningless life

Sanctuaries of disastrous commerce

sailed past us on furious wakes

 

We hopped along to

the sound of our boots as they

kicked voids in the walls

stomped craters in the ground

 

The sound of swords clashing

with damaged splashes of lightning

The vicious bite of the cold night air

We sat on the slide and sailed

 

through devious centers of bliss

The canisters of color shot confetti

that gave feelings to the greyness

We hopped as

 

barriers between right & wrong

dug up the cement with flaming shovels

of demented self-righteousness

We shot down the world as the world

 

shot up city blocks and shopping centers

We hopped to the rhythms of

gunfire and crackling dynamite

as it gave us tribute to our independence

 

We celebrated the downfall of

furious deformities

Climbing out of the mouth of hell

we sang our destructive fury

 

The cops rushed in to

our playground we were only playing

much too loud we didn’t

put up a fight we scattered

 

like a rambling rose

Gatling guns blew holes in the sun

The night was young we were so young

We hopped along to our mutilated fun

Forgotten dreams Crushed hopes   Faith in nothing I wander as decades   turn to centuries pondering my past   planning my future waiting to die for I know   death is the easiest way to go Only then  

 
 
 
Oh dark Eris

Oh dark Eris I serve you my fears in the mouth of a rubber ducky   for you to take pleasure in plucking the finality from its eyes like popping a growing pimple   Oh dark Eris I bring you my rancid to

 
 
 
The Fire in My Eyes

The fire in my eyes turns bright red when I think of certain things I despise   The fire in my eyes grows with rigid fertility when the maddening truths get covered up with lies   The fire in my eyes
