Money trail reveals factor
To assemble humans follow layout
Swat down charges with linguistic racket
Sticks more effective than carrot dangle
...

are we nothing more than someone's son,
the sum of our parts, an equation,
unbalanced inside of history,
lives on loan from those who came before,
...

emotion, that current producing naught,
the illusion of forward momentum,
as your feet sink deeper into the sand,
I set my strength against this subjection,
...

...

Assumptio

Taken as a given
Connection pivots upon pure affection
...

beat, bellow and decay,
is there nothing more,
cold liquid crimson,
colorful tainting,
...

taking wing with the dawn,
of a new horizon,
we fix our gaze,
above the masquerade,
...

Take leave of this
Veneer of contented containment
Go tell your thoughts
Delineate the shades of

The narrowing of choice, opaque or black?
Unconfident die castes vote ballot blank,
How has our circus bread become this bland?
What a diverse homogeneous blend,

He suffered the asthma,
Had anemic plasma,

To all celestial siblings gathered here,
The salutations of our salvation,
Living water to all those you hold dear,
To the enemy's minions, damnation,

grace granted and measured
out to the rhythm

my broken heart
shivers in water waiting
hypothermic for the inclusion
of loneliness devoted

a challenge to accept,
that we are the exception,
never asking exemption,
...

the martyrs' dream remains unfulfilled,
we race toward immortality,
not having learned to live,
searching for succinct sentiments,
...

twelve years, old friend,
I was always here
they've all sailed away,
I'm always here,
...

darkness no longer frightens,
no monsters lurk here, save one
save me,
the mirror is blind to it,
