Whats in a name


Better than a pep pill

Labels? I don't need anymore labels
I have enough self-inflicted
In life you're pigeon holed, into this, into that.
If you try to do anything different, you're a freak you're ostracized.

There's beauty here hidden deep
Within the concrete & the brick
Sometimes it's hard to find
Within the swells of city life
...

Who will protect history from the lies
Of jingoistic ministers? Who glory in
War, its victims who laid dying & bleeding
through Mans inventions

Here people hear all and treat all

So precious from the start
...

You surround yourselves with lies
And death
You kept tigers as pets
Peoples’ lives were meaningless to you
...

Every day the news becomes more and
...

I'm a recovering Rochester boy
recovering from the choices I made

Some memories haunt me
