what do I know, do I know the truth
I do know what I believe to be true
still it don't make me know the truth
If not one of us knows the truth
each and every one of us are liars
If no one knows the truth then the truth
never was to begin with, to every truth
a lie is being told, for every lie told some truth
is being exposed, tell some one you're building
an ark and they will laugh, here's the truth
some want to believe the stories true
no one knows if it actually happens to be true
here's why they laugh, the joke never gets old
I believe what I believe to be truth is true
I want to believe the lie embedded in belief isn't
the only thing I know to be true to me is
personal experience in which some times I
wonder if that was fabricated, I do not know
if there is a heaven or hell or ever was though I
would like to believe it's not so, I mean the thought
of going through all this hell on earth and not
getting credit for time served, the thing about
doing dirt is no matter how many baths you take
it still comes back on you, the idea of having to
stay in the world until you have paid every
penny for every stain you made on earth
the best answer is "I DON'T KNOW" because
it's the truest one, the older I get the less I know
"THIS IS WHAT I KNOW" There is no truth in
belief but the lie is always in plain sight.

Literal Calculations (10232025)you don't have to be a mathematical genius to know when things aren't adding up lately things ain't been adding up certain situations and stories being told about certain situations don't make logical sense especially when there's missing pieces of information no reasonable or likely explanation for the situation there's always air and opportunity for clarification to clear the static it's hard to dispute the truth it's safer to stay out the loop when a strong desire to know could tighten the noose  |

Spin Around (10222025)I wonder if you like my music I wonder if you like my song I wonder if you dance I wonder if you like my music I wonder if you sing along I wonder if you dance I wonder if you like my music I wonder if you like the tone I wonder if I could sit down to write you a poem I wonder if you dance I wonder if you like my music I wonder if you like the sound I wonder what you do if I played the piano and sung you a song I wonder if I could touch you without hands I wonder if you dance I wonder if you feel the vibe I wonder if you dance |
The Idea & The Emotion (10212025)lending a voice to the struggle to create order and meaning out of chaos "a poet gotta write" taking the tiniest partical crafting it into something remarkable "a poet gotta write" like a contender gotta bout like a owl gotta whoo "a poet gotta write" a urgent need not merely an artistic hobby "a poet gotta write" like a sworn oath to observe and reflect the truth of the world "a poet gotta write" connecting the beauty and pain of humanity shaping words to give form to the formless "a poet gotta write" a vessel of expression channeling emotions that need to bleed to expose a need to heal connecting words to create verses and phases "a poet gotta write" to escape and find a way to articulate inner turmoil "a poet gotta write" fanning the flame without expectation of fame "a poet gotta write" transforming pain and sorrow into something tangible to navigate the flow let it resonate "a poet gotta write" giving life to the invisible a profound need to bring life to the unseen... |
Undertone (10192025)I love you but I failed at loving you how you needed me to love you I was willing to learn but you couldn't teach me how to I'm a visual learner you couldn't show me the way to your heart when half of the time you didn't know which way to go you didn't know north from south east from west you couldn't draw me a map I patiently waited for you to decide what you had a taste for you never could decide I always had to be the one to decide for you no matter what I chose on the menu you didn't like I smiled while screaming inside "SHE'S NEVER SATISFIED" for all the years we spent swapping DNA when you bump your noggin I get a headache when I left I said "it's not you it's me" that's not true I was lying through my teeth I would tell you anything to break free besides all the run ins we had a good run we had some good times shared a lot of laughs we had a load of fun even though we had to color the blues to make a difficult situation brighter I gave you a slew of clues you couldn't read th... |
Casting Lots (10192025)you finally reach the stage where you realize everything you thought you knew about the spell caster is a lie you traveled this far to discover everything you ever needed in life was always inside it's the final act in which signifies the conclusion of an event which is your life drawing to a close you open your eyes one more time and see it all clear nothing is what it appears to be you step out to take a bow and wait for a bouquet but the audience has gone to sleep and yet to awake feeling as if you been betrayed by the one who you portrayed believing it's all true is a risk we all take we'll go out the way to get it appraised only to find out its fake false and a waste of faith |
Final Breaking Point (10132025)not everyone has a gun but everyone has a trigger I say this because any day any time any place any where you might come across or cross the line of someone pushed beyond their limit fed up pissed off down to their last straw let's say their fresh out ain't got no mo straws but got a gun and quick to draw and you did or said something to tick 'em off we all have something that we know can easily set us off but we can't expect everyone else to know what that something is this is what makes the world a dangerous place to live in every day you have to figure out different ways to stay alive the objective is to keep moving forward and survive with every stride and not be victimize the pendulum swings both ways side to side our next move could be suicide read the room read the signs these are the times to be extra cautious and very careful not to put our self in a avoidable position for someone else to decide whether we live or die and we must take extra precautionary measures to keep ou... |
First And Foremost (10102025)I can't say you broke my heart it was already broke you gave me false hope I believed in us thought you believed in us too when the covenant broke I found out it wasn't true I never cried so much in my life since the time my heart first broke it had me at the end of my rope couldn't cope acting like I'm on dope everyday I wrote to stay afloat only a poet knows it's better when it flows like tears throughout the years threw out the old me no longer feel like you owe me an explanation for sinking the relation ship and ruining the situation we had I no longer feel bad I'm good better than you thought I would ever be I was foolish to think you would never leave me high and dry without supplies left for dead still survived only God knows how I rise too resilient to feel the pain but still sometimes I feel the strain it feels strange but not too intense to complain |
Too Close To The Sun (10102025)awhile back people were going on about the rapture I don't know what gave them the idea it was going to happen then I'm wise enough to say I don't know what's going on but what if it did happen like a dream that we completely forgotten upon waking maybe it already or did happen and what we're experiencing is symptoms of being left behind and those who thought they were going to be invited up to have hot tea and toasty crumpets in the sky were simply delusional at the time |
