Self-Important Denial

Suffocating the sky
and condemning the architects when trauma finds a new home
Full-throated conscientious disregard
Divine macro determinate disorder
Blood-soaked heirlooms
No self referential moment
All else is bondage
Marionettes drag their feet in the dark
A tangled throne from the bottom up
Vertical truths rest on the edge of the blade
All else is bondage
Symptomatic grief
A newly licensed orator
Exclusionary claims and nonsensical grandstanding
Aspiring martyrs keep your monster on a leash
No amount of wanting can help your cause

How The West Went Blind

Grey area social justice does not let you down gently
Melodramatic knee-jerk
Blind eyes, turned
Barbaric dysfunction, nightmares under cover
Myopic equality; hoping not to offend
Sexism through omission
Evading heat under the sun
Confusing seclusion for kindness
The politics of culture are disorienting
A well oiled outrage machine (well placed outrage on the oiled machine)
Finger pointed perverted priorities
Digit. Gag. Reflex.
Clog your throat
Split your lips mincing words
Snapping necks whipsawing
A strange way to right the scales

The medicalization of criticism
The consequence of dignity
Epic moral cowardice of the rich and confident variety
Hanging in a slender reed
Self-authenticating absurdity by way of birth, not evangelism
Platitudes dried in your mouth
Doubling down on double standards
Surrender
No results, no real results
A palace with no pull
And no pathways
No air to pursue it
Relative truth is a gun to the head
Self destructive mantras
Underwhelming vultures undermining and tugging at the flesh of the open body
Rank and file in the wind
Dyed in the wool
It’s easier to shake and scream when you can blame someone else
Divided by zero
We can not entertain you
No one shall notice your efforts

Dear Mike,
All the Scarecrows you’ve erected are now in flames
Hills become mountains when no one notices
Gymnastics and gerrymandering
Unbounded, unsuccessful attempts to get out of the corner
the paint dries around you
Above the grey, beyond the grasp
A Long winded rebuttal
Tailor made forgone conclusion
I have every reason to live
Dear Mike,
Alcoholic fear has you spinning in circles
Desperation, separation is just avoiding the wrong hell
An inflamed coccyx, impending diabetic nerve pain
The safe bet is viciously futile
