Rumors of A New Pride
Rumors of a new pride
Wandering through our hills
Have you heard about the new pride
Feasting on our kills?
I know we're playing Halo
I know we're having fun.
But is it really funny
On the wrong end of a gun?

Miss Murder
Miss Murder, look at me.
Can't you help me see?
I live and live and thrive and thrive,
I give my life to thee.
Anyday and anyway,
I shoot and stab my life away.
You take and take, I give and give,
But yet, Miss Murder, I still live.

Conveniently Lacking a Rhyme Scheme
Happy, happy, happy, happy,
All the smiling day.
Happy, happy, happy, happy,
Smile my life away.
Smile on you, you smile on me,
We're only happy when smiling we be.
Everyone loves to smile,
No one likes to cry.
I only smile upon you,
When I'm about to die.

Mother Love
Mother love
Nothin' wrong with me
Mother love
Come and let me see
Mother love
Just leave me alone
Mother love
Now I'm dead and gone
Mother love
Never let me see
Mother love
Never let's me be
Mother love
Took my life away
Mother love
Hate me every day
Mother love
Take away my pain
Mother love
Make me go insane

Ethical Rape
Everywhere I look, there's an ethical rape.
Churches come first
Bend and fall at the hands
Of their angry oppressors
Sacred sacraments
Are grabbed from behind
Dragged into the alley
And torn to pieces
Bleeding bloody visceral
Carnage all around
The glistening rull of science
Dominates the skyline
All values are dead
No one cares like they used to
Everything's gone
Everything's become
Ethical rape.

Smiles Give Me Hope
Smiles give me hope.
Hope gives me security.
Security gives me comfort.
Comfort gives me routine.
Routine gives me obsession.
Obsession gives me jealousy.
Jealousy gives me hatred.
Hatred gives me pain.
Pain gives me sadness.
Sadness gives me despair.
Despair gives me time to think.
Time to think gives me musings.
Musings give me wisdom.
Wisdom gives me strength.
Strength gives me perseverance.
Perseverance gives me you.
You give me a smile.
And smiles give me hope.

The Admonitory Allegory
The beast with two hearts!
I hear it approach,
It will, surely, it will,
Upon our thoughts encroach.
Run, my son, lest ye be a fool,
And become its poor slave,
Or weapon, or tool!
Run, my son, lest its beauty ye love,
Lest its heart you desire,
Lest its body be your cove.
At which point you've failed.
You've blown it, you're dead.
You've done thrown away yourself,
You've done lost your head!
Run, my son, lest ye be a damned fool!
It'll take you and make you,
Something that's... not cool!
Oh, listen to me, all full of words,
All full of apprehension,
All full of curds.

Narrative Set in a Blank House
I've felt quite lonely lately.
It really puts the plight of the lonely in perspective.
I don't like it much.
It's rather boring.
You see, not much happens to a lonely man.
Anyhow, I have a friend named Ted.
He lives in Halifax.
Disliking the weather, I gave him a call.
I said, 'Hello, Ted. How are you? '
'Quite alright.' I think he said something like that.
'I feel a bit lonely, ' I said after a bit.
I recall him chuckling. 'What for? '
'I don't know.'
'Well, ' he replied, 'you got me, you know.'
'I think.' I recall pausing, to think.
I just wasn't sure. You know how that is, right?
'What do you mean? ' he asked, as a friend would ask.
'Well, ' I replied,
'I think you are why I'm lonely.'
He laughed again. Ted was a laugher.
