Lose the quirk - Escape a life-sentence From disfigurement be spared Errors in the signals (Off gender) Errors in the signals (Down-and-outer) Beside yourself By the very shadow you cast Clawing at the vapid pseudo-love Called 'respect' Errors in the signals (No aberrations) Errors in the signals (Moral fail-safes) Couldn't flee much quicker From the adolescent (in you) Clawing at the vapid pseudo-love Called 'respect' Errors in the signals 3. Everyday Pox Crack a wry smile For the gravest of fortunes You illuminate the room Here - a toast with urine To empathy Too far removed To indulge or divulge Extend my hand And your flesh crawls Touched by asinine mongrels You're rife with everyday pox Suspect foreign bodies encroaching On your space - they obstruct, You detest, you obstruct, They detest Unwashed interferers multiplying Out of range - They obstruct, You detest, you obstruct, They detest Steady diet of hearsay Rumour, primed yo up the fervour Just rife with everyday pox Ramming home prejudgements into Every smirking face - air drainer Trespasser Everyday Pox 4. Protection Racket For the common good, That glare so piercing It will burn through your back Reach, re-educate the soul (Even though this is feigned) because you need to be taken to task Obscure my face In shadows I'll consolidate Unmasked, I'd be whipped into shape In shadows, I'll consolidate False alarmist - They will brand it on your back Or maniacal sadist, When you are barely defence minded Because you walk right out of step Obscure my face Effectively decapitate Unbowed through The smear campaign Effectively decapitate Effectively, socially, Protectively decapitated White-out in the blackout So everybody's running scared White-out in the blackout Rank and file and all upstanding With selective downplaying White-out in the blackout White-out in the blackout So the oft-duped Are grossly impaired White-out in the blackout Startled, unsettled Thus curiosity expelled White-out in the blackout Homogenous - I'm surplus to this time That's well contained Sullied rat in basement trap With vital exposé For your own protection For the retardation... 5. The Wolf I Feed Sweeping the void - like sin Treachery penetrates my skin Serpent shapes in the depths Obsolete acts of kindness The Wolf I feed, in cloaks of decency The Wolves I feed Invoke the blessing of peace Supply lines of the swarm ensuring Danger and harm As the first wave diminishes, Depleted stronghold vanishing The Wolf I feed in cloaks of decency The Wolves I feed, Provoke war-waged capacities The Wolf I feed, to ward off wildfires Blind alleys lead, Violating cease-fire Domain of the parish That march in Eden Corridors of sadness Embrace the Masses Truths transcends time beyond The stones of destiny Celestial land mines Of sacred geometry The Wolf I feed to ward off wildfires Blind alley freed, Violating cease-fires A wake up call, Traverse the wilderness Death by design with Cosmic significance Immobilized in its path Bearing the bulk of the burden Authoritarian trails between The colony and queen The Wolf I feed Outweighed, policed and rationed The Wolves I feed Our liberties seized and blackened 6. Quarantined Quarantine isn't all it might seem Drifting so, isn't this just a cinch? Unhindered - always the option To flee? Shielded through happenstance And cultural decree Confined as they are Let us thrive in relativity Libertine Snipe at will, digging deep Malcontent By approval you can be Take a hammer to (stifling) Traditions - don't treat carefully Yes, we presume with no exceptions - Freedom is for free Quarantined, Quarantined Quarantined, Quarantined Quarantined, Quarantined Quarantined, Quarantined Surge with the mainstream Temper your ire further afield Surge with the mainstream Tune out skulking shadows Within the democratic, Autocratic, theocratic And sleepwalk through every Damned systemic derivative. Through every curtailed Human prerogative Quarantined, Quarantined, Quarantined, Quarantined Quarantined, Quarantined Quarantined, Quarantined 7. Fall On Their Swords Dubious and murky What aligns all parties Strike swifter, stealthier, neater. Untraced conscience cleaner But we're armed with an ethic, So to speak 'Defence' and 'Ordnance' as commodities Satiate like food and drink Prostrate in it In it to win it But we're armed with an ethic, So to speak Fall on their swords Pragmatic in dissent To curb the arms you circulated Blacklists and short lists Alternate them on grace and favour At Barrel's end There are no convention We fall on their swords Die, die, die, die, die 8. Collision Course Our lives seem set On a collision course A history we cannot change Or will not change The years and happiness Mean everything and nothing If we cannot fit the final piece Into the puzzle We have to strive to push The boundaries further We have to strive to push The boundaries further Or all our lives are set On a collision course The stress is mounting, We fail to breathe What was important now Seems pointless Perhaps it's time To flip out world upside down Embrace our lives For all that they are worth We have to broaden Horizons of understanding We have to broaden Horizons of understanding Or all our lives are set On a collision course Death will take us all in the end Prepare for bitterness But live it 'til the end This world I can gladly leave behind Profoundly naive, Scrambling lost within Searching for self-gratification Anointing obsession Disarming purity Fracturing with poetic tragedy Death will take us all in the end Prepare for bitterness But live it 'til the end 9. Orders Of Magnitude Efficiency action For unprecedented tragedy Befallen calamities In the light of what's happening By orders of magnitude Polluting our altitude Thus we drift towards Unprecedented catastrophes The coalition of the willing - Diabolical energy By orders of magnitude - Contaminates latitude Orders of approximation For geometric means Generating smoke screens For our transmuted genes Pressures mount On seismic encounters Omitting man-made elements Immediate danger to all life forms Offering a chorus of soothing denial Power of the essence A strange psychology An era of scarce resources And casualty strategies The calamity has befallen Despite heroic efforts It's growing increasingly grave Instability continues to reign Eco-shock - Fills our seas, Bone disease, Filling our skies Followed with lies Singular cancers Absolute disasters Ironic tragedy Dark aspects of chemistry Contaminate the cradle of civilisation E=mc² Divisions of atomic casualties And bent fuel industries As horrific situations unfold It's a nuclear future ten fold 10. Think Tank Trials Think tank trials Thought it out Think tank trials Thought it out and drew just blanks When the simple terms elude me Think tank trials Short wavelengths Static spins my head When the simple terms elude me Inquisition has a basic function I've exhausted Inquisition I've overthought Searcher overwrought in dour Aimless walls Dead set against indecision Sweat the details, still fail Indecision I'll contemplate while logic vacates The dour, aimless walls The heaped-up agitation Of the narcissistic - Brood Yet I won't entertain the simplistic Viewpoints flood into every frame - Brood Removed over time from seeing Anything straight Scrutinize, obsess Think tank trials Scrutinized Think tank trials And drew just blanks 11. Blank Look About Face Confidante Here goes a breach of a piss-weak pact Upright, On-point, staunch subordinate Blank look, about-face Sycophant Trade plaudits neat and matter-of-fact Flatter in a charismatic haze Blank look, about-face Elective confidante, Adopted sycophant Poised to sweep the cynics away Blank look, about face Clear the ground! Clear the ground for a drunken power melee The mob is phased Clear the ground for a weakening sting the tail The mob drinks in praise The mob's wit wanes The mob deflates The mob's displaced The mob's contained 12. Leper Colony Depravity, feral traits - line drawn in the dirt Dense unconscious streams, it seems - line drawn in the dirt Our inconsistencies in singling out the human Line drawn in the dirt Smack us senseless through a lens - least for the lesser Burden's fit for scabrous waifs - least for the lesser Let the unsophisticated go unheard. Least for the lesser Line drawn in the dirt Least for the lesser Sweep back to the recesses of furthest thought Recoil and blank out the atrocities meted out Disembodied, disenfranchised - introverted understatements. Relax in the sheltered neutrality of furthest thought As observers we trivialize the cruelty meted out Line drawn in the dirt 13. Nom De Guerre An alias, it's how I'm known A sideshow to a great unknown, My best side is the furthest from...me! A nobody In all my exertions Eeking out an era Undermined, Underling I'm sub-standard without a name A somebody I'm since endowed Clambering across the feeble Unrivaled, unequaled Peerless standards around my name Undermined, Underling Kept behind so you would thirst for prestige Unrivaled, unequaled Selected, refined - stand and applaud 14. Analysis Paralysis Analysis paralysis If you are looking for the guilty ones We only need to look in a mirror Facing our reflections we are scarred - scarred but immune To our negative impact on others We scream at the wall and turn away from the advice That might make us better men We scream into the walls It's analysis paralysis We hide our heads in the sand or run away It's analysis paralysis Analysis paralysis Frowning on the positives One mans meat is another man's poison Equations and discord divide but never unite Drowning in the negatives Will we ever see the wood for the trees? Hating the truth, denying the hope It might make us better man We scream into the walls It's analysis paralysis We hide our heads in the sand or run away It's analysis paralysis Thriving in the disarray Our bridges burn in tribute Wash away the ashes and failure with the tears of understanding Another epitaph and an heir to wretchedness 15. Opposites Repellent Blank canvas laid invitingly As if by the (common) contrived proxy Developing: the giant misnomer Enhance land and then strip Accelerant on, stragglers wiped off Opposites repellent It bottomed out Scavenge deeper Featureless stumps - what reparation! Modernizing: the giant misnomer Homogenize and strip again. Accelerant on, skeptics wiped off Opposites repellent Opposites repellent Right after the enticement That they are integral That they'll prevail at the forefront That they're yielding for the windfall that never, ever fails Instead they are ineffectual Instead they fold to the omnipotent Instead they forfeit for the windfall that never ever falls their way Accelerant on, stragglers wiped off Accelerant on, skeptics wiped off Accelerant on, reproach wiped off Opposites repellent 16. A Gag Reflex Vain, shame-faced Can't reveal the very core Duress will not permit a naked ambition Cursed naked proposition Dry retch - verged on self-flagellation Apoplectic - nail you shut from prying eyes Ecstasy could not involve a naked ambition Squalid naked proposition Soured - floored by such indignation The schism is not anatomical Nor is it residual It's a societal ghetto It's a societal black hole. Surrendered Priceless liberties expelled Swift wrath upon the inward explorer Hold your gag reflex Your gag reflex Contradiction Oh, promiscuous and proud while you're prudishly on guard Gender is a willfully caged beast Set free, it decimates the phobic concrete Gender is a caged beast 17.
