Boomer
SLBM submarine Nuclear reactor Nothing like it ever seen A true global stage actor
Running quiet running deep Impossible detection In the world's dreamy sleep A final insurrection?
Against all foes who would Be dumb, to test our own resolve No one, no one ever could Such a problem solve
24 tubes, 12 MIRVs each Ultimate destruction 7,000 miles' reach A truly insane function
The three most powerful Men on earth, the president of Russia and ours And a sub captain, could rain down a shower full Of miniature stars
What a world to live in Where one boat could end it all All these people, all this sin I pray the world won't fall

Journalist's Poem
A thousand faces of blocky landscapes Keeps me going and I endlessly feel The momentous occasion, a street away Held accountable in line and in law
A line, a word, a paragraph A sentence, an epitaph Dire straits of a heart More than one mind can acquire
Foolish, I am so deeply distraught Reaping the peril of my lot And seeming to ploy and plot and desire Like a renegade whom conspires
Do a shot a day and read and write Then I might end this plight With a brain and maybe some coin As little to do with you, as with me too

Explosion
Civilization is an aberration That much is easily certain The eras are long And our time here's been short What if one pulls back the curtain?
Nobody's home, all roads lead to Rome A matter of desperate control Not much has changed In the historic age Though we have no more kings to extol
Evolution engages in revolution Apparently -- it is all too evident Here an explosion There an erosion A cell phone for every resident
You see fragility in every stability Tens of millions of years passed Then all of a sudden The Redcoats are comin' And modernity's time is now past
Where's the disjoint, the breaking up point? We cannot expand forever The people asleep The powerful keep On as if, what, a consequence? Never

To admit I was in trouble, I loosend the lassy, For all Deities to fall, And all demons to welcome into my hall, Scar underneath a far sky, Only Whispers heard my cries, Whizzing in my heart, Speeding through my eyes, Lost sight of the reverent side With no means of falling for pride.
~Bunny

All that is matter is thought. All that seems real is taught. All that we can think becomes tangible. All that we know is imaginable.
Believing your awake is a gift borne of sleep. The freshness of sobriety after going pretty deep. There is no distinction between death life and never being. If you can unbelieve what closed eye's are seeing.
This may be our greatest maths trick. Making a zero out of a perpetual tick. You need two mirrors to provide each too themselves. Its the space in between into which we delve.
As the image is. As the mind thinks. Its nothingness solidified. Between our own reflections.

Indeed, there is no hidden creed I am as blind as a bat. Sending my beeps and bloops into a cave I have forgotten how to behave Left, right, left, right, soldier! Who's saying that!? Who are you? I do not feel real.
Though the berries look prime, They are covered in slime. Subliminally sour, I want to devour. All of it. Everything. Gimme gimme.

Thankyou. Glad you liked it.....I almost deleted it as usual because I couldn't figure out what I was trying to say.

To me being able to destroy your own art out of spite and righteous alienation is the sign of a true artist

Hurricane
Afternoon winds howl The Spanish were here once Then a white man One forgets
Ubiquitous sea green sage A natural spice Improves mule venison For enterprising hunters
Cliffs of red, orange, green, black lava In shadows the ridge appears purple Crimson sand swirls In the eventide gale
Small town, fairly booming At least to the southwest Obfuscate the location And it takes on an aura
Mojave sunrise Technically the home of its tortoise Lots of preservation Correct government
Rural but amenitied Scorpion in the pump-house While the tides of oxygen Whip against older technology
Zion’s summits beam downward Into the undulating valley Its castles uncaring but grand Magic for man and animal alike
Tumbleweeds tumble As inhabitants roll along In this oasis of the desert Which gives raptors wing

Desolation surrounds, passing gaze. Desert wind, visual haze. Salt clings, dryness licks. Sweat bakes, time ticks.
Parched landscapes of desolate remnants. Stripped naked exposed to the elements. Wastelands of excess forever reminders. Barren that which was once inside us.
Deluded and abused. Forcebly confused. Scars showing. Imbalance growing.
Cutting of the nose. It can never end. Its natures tab. Spend spend spend.

Okay, here is my poem I've written for the poetry class.
3:30 AM
The alarm clock's beep Murdered my sleep Lying in the bed My head is dead
Trynna eat some food I don't feel any mood Walk into the sreets Skin hot, heart beats
Creepin' trough the dark Hearin' some dog bark Streetlights seem to throb My brain is an empty blob
No one in the sight I smell smog and blight This void called town Really makes me frown
At such inhuman hour Everyone is dour Then comes the dawn Inner dead is gone

There is many more been and gone then there could ever be now. What does a legacy mean anyhow. Are you striving for real change and what would that look like. Will your actions last once your inevitably out of sight.
Will the universe be more or less once your gone. In time nobody will care. No matter how brightly your light shone. So why do we play fair.
We strive as though there is a finish line. As if there will be winners. That we can reach it in time. Purposeful intent creating sinners.
Gluttony of self importance. Hypocrisy of self impotence. We allow ourselves delusions of grandeur. Perspectives of nothingness seen as slander.
I am not important and neither are you. This doesn't mean an easy shot through. You see the choice is to strip away the lies and too look deep inside. Then without validity, love like a mother when their newborn cries.

He sits at the bar lonely. His friends long ago drowned. Youth again if only. In the last pint he just downed.
His stare fixed and his back hunched over. While his knarled, leathered fingers caress his daily lover. He seemingly has his own thoughts with which to make peace. Still covered from jobs long ago, in dust and grease.
The bar itself seems take him as an ornament. Like its giving a warm embrace protection from his torment. You can see the wear on the 100 year old top. With many other lonely souls finding a place to stop.
But hes here alone. I reckon he's used to it. Another pint is poured. Another memory to bemoan.
If you travel to enough small towns. You will find the pub and him while doing the rounds. Few people still actually sit at the bar here. Maybe the cultures changed, perhaps due to fear.
As usual the conversation started with a simple nod. After 5 minutes we were talking bout definitions of god.
I always still perch myself at the bar. With different experiences and opinions never far. It ranged through the gammit of topics believe you me. So don't let your own preconceptions persuade you who someone may be.

The last flight of the free bird, As he tumbles down His mind is racing back to times When he was fierce but kind.
He sees everything around him Crumbling, while trying to get hold of one last breeze under his wings
Its beautiful to anyone who is willing to see what really is
Its all colours, breathing, screaming , nature, death! All that remains is but a ripple in time An unimportant little void One less speck in the sky Does it ever matter?
