tea toddlers
and little brats
wrapped in a blanket of hate
pigs in a blanket
just like the church
always passing the plate
join our secret society
and rise above the law
before it's too late
don't worry about the facts
from socialist democrats
there's too much at stake
forget the past
trust our shallow mask
and bright red cape
then vote for us ... before it's too late

i wonder if it's raining
on the other side ?
i suppose that
nobody really knows.
untill they arrive
all i ever really hear about
is a light.
i wonder if
it's the sun ?
or maybe ... the son of man
the warm rain
washes over my flesh.
yet my soul
remains stained.
now there's a surprise
holy water,
magic pills,
guilt,
confessions in the dark.
is that what you see in the light ?
me ... i don't know.
im just another sinner
standing in the rain.
waiting for a ride ...
to the other side.

i'm sorry
sorry about what ?
it's not your fault
what's that mean ?
as i slip into the abiss of insanity
or as society calls it ... mainstream
i find it increasingly difficult
to process feelings
i once sidestepped
with alcohol ... and drugs
words, dreams, and feelings
are now just background noise
as the needle
at the end of the record
ticks on
and on
and on ....

a prankster at heart
a baker of tarts
sounds kind of brady
but then the fun starts
a grimmace of stone
suggest she's alone
but the music of good deeds
sets her lifes tone
life won't pull her strings
she knows what it means
to be her own person
she lets her soul sing
a song about freedom
to be who you are
grimmy-grim-grim-soul
you're gonna go far

sometimes
i find myself swimming
alone in a sea
of self-loathing
i wander in
blinded by the mask i wear
to show you ... and the world
who i am
sometimes
the water is calm
like limbo
and i'm at peace with my pain
i wonder why
this feeling never last
and like a perfect bath
the water soon will be cold
sometimes
in choppy seas
when i'm being battered by the pain
i cry out for a protector ... to protect me from myself.
then i wonder why
my cries go unanswered
unaware that as long as i wear the mask
to the world ... i don't exist

Sounds like the person in the poem is in a purgatory of some sort with self conflict.
very perceptive
he traveled the globe
then setteled on job
a bored devel
in leage with god
decides to fuck with a man
on a bet ...
it's in the bible
i wonder what jesus would think ?
the devil did some terrible shit to job
while god looked on
what bullshit !
and by the way ... fuck the message
torturing a good man
to prove a point
was wrong
i want to believe ....
if only there was something worth believing in.
not

ive gotta agree with u on that one...yet christians insist on promoting the virtue in that one.
yep ... go figure
the bible does not make god all that credible to me as the everything of intellegent life, however i find jesus and his message very compelling
stormy weather in her eyes
tells the truth
when her lips lie
to forgive her
i will try
she means that much to me
