Nitroglycerin

Did anybody ever tell you
The apple in your eye is rotten
Encased with the loose ends
And under us with the downtrodden

Remember the sunsets
Drain out the bleeding skies
Hurry now to see their demise
Soles of feet become Nitroglycerin

This orchid only blooms
Once in so many moons
It's a funeral gazed congregation
For the shallow hurt you are

Tied up in a rat king
Bury me bury me
Leave none at all to see to see
Your conspiracy becomes Nitroglycerin.

Never another step of strength
Shall pass my door while I am with you

Watching as the walls turn to paste
No reasons left here to defend

A mix of the purest

I am fertile and that is all
A laden waste

Hey Everyone, She’s AUTISTIC!

Hey everyone look here
It’s the girl with freaky hair
Oh my little does she care
This is an ode to freak shows
And silly dancers in the rain
Glistening cobwebs and rot
A fascination with plants in pots
Your funny sir the way you scream
You make my day with the dinner
I laugh again at this part
This is an ode to miserable old farts
So look at me and you shall see
I bear three heads and a crown
Even if my crown is thorns
I will wear it with pride
Because this is an ode to you dear one
And here I laugh again.
