Hunting Immortality.

Ionized Caskets,Reversed Polarity Magnetisms.Irradiating ourselves,So that we never rot after death.Only slough away into ribbons of flesh.Cryogenic screensavers -Pity the hosts in storage,Are all dead.Freezer-burned to jerky.Why fear Entropy?Death is but a guarantee.Our only,Guarantee.

“I know them to be as true-bred cowards as ever turn’d back”

“I know them to be as true-bred cowards as ever turn’d back”

Faceless.Nameless.Wearing other people's skin,& words.That form of cowardice,Is alive & well.Witnessed myself;How awful people are to you,When you use your real name as an artist.Detest cowardice,More than most things.Spineless haters,Plagues upon society:Tearing others down.COWARDS!

The “Great Writer” Path.

The “Great Writer” Path.

Funny,That.I exist in this void,Bereft of having my work shared,Spread,Or proliferated.Some part of me is happy:Get to live the normal "great writer" path.Famous,Recognized as elite,But long after I'm already dead.Why did Shakespeare become rote?Why can't I?Even After beating him…

“This Art Is Only Valuable, Because It Guarantees Us Profit.”

“This Art Is Only Valuable, Because It Guarantees Us Profit.”

Manicured stage performances,Veneers of Capitalism.Art forms squeezed through tubes;Treated as nutrient slurry."This Art Is Only Valuable,Because It Guarantees Us Profit."Ugly Truths.Art is no longer Art.It hath become horrid chimera:Devoid of original purposes,Reforged with dollar signs.

My Irreverence Will Remain.

My Irreverence Will Remain.

World Don’t Care.

World Don’t Care.

World Don't Care.My paltry piles of poetry pieces;Lying in this digital scrap heap.Nobody will ever descend,From on high,Offer me,Or you,Any true salvation.Only the fake placebo effects,Of organized religion.I'm "the most" of something,In all Human History.World Don't Care.Never Did.

Bell Curves.

The masses,A bell curve.Ten thousand voices,Clamouring for clout.Scything through the hordes,For diamonds in the rough.Disappointed,When they fail to deliver.How do I remain underground,While still succeeding?Maintain independence,From devourers of Zeitgeists.Whom?

Fuck Celebrity.

Don't give two shits,About your fame or fortune!Celebrity is merely a tool,With which one must do good.Wealth only exists in excess,To pull others upwards.Tire of hierarchies.Why not mandates,Free reign -Instead?Set you upon a path,You get there,By any means possible.

Tomorrow. Or Tomorrow.

Watching the lamp posts click on,All across the cities.Slow red flashing -Mountaintop towers,Network broadcasts,Dull red blinking.Tomorrow.Or Tomorrow.Feels so strange.Waiting placidly,For many worlds to end.All so I can pick up the pieces,To stitch Humanity back together again.Hoof.

Desperation Days.

Desperation Days.Death hounding us as she always does.An incorrigible lover,Demanding 100% of our time,Forevermore.Cash'd help -But we remain starving artists,Bound to our morals, values, & principles,Eschewing Capitalism.Rotting teeth.Decaying bodies.Sans the pennies to fix it all..][

PUPPET.

I am not your plaything,To be pulled from the box. I AM TIRED OF BEING USED. Held in stasis,Left fallow. I AM NOT A PUPPET. You cannot keep taking me,Manipulating me. I AM DONE WITH YOUR PLATITUDES.
