Hit Title Date Added
1.
Tommorrow

Too many days spent in reflecting on unfulfilled dreams
Only now, when it's too late to do anything do I see
Missed opportunities to spend this time constructively
On important things in life, closed eyes blind to reality
...

2.
Multiple Personality

Carnal minded, twisted inside as I'm listlessly guided through life
by instincts instilled within me in anachronistic times
an animalistic mind defined by social lies as socialization decries
individualistic rights... the right to find my path in life
...

3.
Defeating Death

It's dark.

The kind of darkness that envelopes the mind and chills you to your very soul
he tries to take control, to breathe to see the enemy, defeat the beast of old
...

4.
Stranded On An Island

Face the day in a wasted state, a taste of hate, bitterness as he
wastes away like patients with aids, chasing pavements in his dreams
so he seems to be on a precipice, as he struggles for expressiveness
he's confessing this, yet he questions if reality's made up of this
...

5.
The Problem With Society

A mother grieving, warm tears streaming down her dark brown cheek
no words to speak, no consolation, Her son lies bleeding at her feet
another victim of the street, a victim of society, a blind machine
designed to keep us confined to being less then what we should be,
...

In The Darkness Of Shadows

In the darkness of shadows I lie, my mind still reeling
the knife still in me, puddle of blood around me congealing
feeling no pain, my brain seeking solace in the grip of death
each breath pulling me closer to the edge of forgetfullness
...

The Origins Of Intelligence

The origins of intelligence
By, Word.Smyth

In the beginning was logos, meaning beyond definition
...

8.
Prisoner Of War

Locked in this cold dark cell, light is dimly illuminating
illusive shadows of my surroundings, mind infinitely ruminating
accumulated dreams of a life that seems so far away regaling me
assailing me with bygone days memories bombarding me unfailingly
...

9.
Drunk Driving

The party lasted well into the night, much Hennessey had me feeling alright
mind reeling and high but feeling like I was good to get behind the wheel and drive
assured the people inside, walked a semi straight line, they musta been blind
but I ain't gonna blame it on nobody but I - I made the fateful decision that night
...

10.
Bum On The Street - An Anacrostic Topical

Bereft and left inconsolate, desolate - without a means or reason to survive
Useless to society, regretfullness inside his dying mind, he bides his time
Memories of by-gone days divide his mind inside he cries for days gone bye
