Will Althen Poems

Even an ant
can manifest destiny
A leech can keep on feeding
until it gets the best of me
...

Hollywood has ate my face
Now I'm in the run of the same old race
Now that Hollywood has ate my face
I wanted a feast after my first taste
...

Seems like now a days
each of us is our own Beelzebub
Who burned the faces of Gregorian monks?
like Hitler burned books
...

Just as Ontario's skies are grey
I wake up to begin the day
As solid as the rocks they come
They always seem to turn to crumb
...

Bent but not broken
I’m the black sheep
A token
Write down the truth
...

If I were to fall from grace
would my throne persist
if my Godly pulpit gave came from under me
like an executioners stage
...

A knight of my time
Yet a proponent of crime
Gathered up for slaughter
I long for my homeland
...

Fatten us up for the slaughter
So we parlay even lower
Then what you wish to see stand
Is that your plan Tesla?
...

The world is quite here
If I told you I knew what I’m sayin’ I’d be lying here
People who are greedy and dying to need me wish they could see what I’m writing here
If life needs a bull market, then I’m a bear
...

Are we living to die
Because I’m dying to live
No people are charitable
Because no one gives
...
