Unfriendly to Humans
Serve a purpose to your master.
Not over race just mind control.
Color broken down by value.
A strange proclivity ruled by fear.
Unfriendly to humans. Not kind to anything else.
Unfriendly to humans. Greed allowed to poison the well.
Unfriendly to humans. Unfriendly to humans.
Not in running as savior.
Earth, a poorly written fable.
What not to do with power.
Hold out for something pure.
Unfriendly to humans. Not kind to anything else.
Unfriendly to humans. Greed allowed to poison the well.
Ashamed to be Human.
Scorched earth a place to start.
Ashamed to be Human.
Miss the mark by striking the heart.
Life is short, no better reason.
Hate the lies, see as treason.
Pawns march to keep. Paper kings in check
Collapse at their feet. Earth’s greatest threat is Man.
Mark history down,
Damage self-inflicted
A piece of time too small to name.
Never proven true by outcomes the same.
Unfriendly to humans. Not kind to anything else.
Unfriendly to humans. Greed allowed to poison the well.
Life is short, no better reason.
Hate the lies, see as treason.
Unfriendly to humans. Unfriendly to humans.

Dark Side Down

DARK SIDE DOWN
Outrageous claims. No skin in the game.
Repressed, depressed and in other words a mess.
What a state of life to be carrying around,
always dark side down.
Firefight facts,
cannot hit back.
Battle of wills not wits.
Conservatively speaking
weak brains forced to forfeit
Dark side down. Detached, and derailed. Dark side down, Words screamed to no avail.
Anger fuels my loss for words.
Fist to mouths speak volumes for the tongue tied.
Patience has been tried.
Falling dark side down.
Drastic demands demons deflower.
Daydreams devour decency.
Spawned by desire.
Make a lasting mark.
Drive a troubled pawn to adapt to the dark.
Escape Dark Side down.

Rorschach Test
Eyes perceive color and shape.
Based upon experience. How we were raised.
Exposed to the right light, the surface will change.
Pour in insight and escape the deranged.
Images come to life. Flashing through time-based memories.
Crashing minds, logic collides, imperfect design.
Amassing legions of broken souls.
Pitiful hearts taken over by self-eating crows.
Falling asleep to wake up deceased.
Poison the last supper. Welcome to feast.
I am not so different,
only driven by other feelings, amid poorer upbringings.
Perspective forms a basis of judging all other living things.
Life and liberty take on new meaning.
Barefoot and bleeding.
Told to lift self-up by bootstraps.
Humility be scrapped.
Trapped in conversion therapy. Hope in atrophy.
Conservative appraisal. Pessimistically fucked.
Split the difference. There is no right answer to life.
Propagate the amorphous lie.
Feed the mob, exploit fear.
War on terror, native soil.
Insurrection drawing near.
Time, to look at the pretty picture, abstract blur.
Close your eyes to define,
the truth you want to find. Stutter and slur.
Patterns in chaos.
Ink blots or visions.
Shapes trigger memories.
Support the picture you have framed.
Rorschach Test.
Blot of ink lost in context. Meant to make you think.
Recall history, emotions cancelled. Wait for head to shrink.
Rorschach test. There is no pass or fail.
Rorschach test. Slide rule, weighted scale.
A black mirror reflecting back.
Dark dystopian heart attack.
Scrape away the dust and haze.
Judge what you see with untarnished clarity.

Semblance of Self

SEMBLANCE OF SELF
A visitor haunts my daydreams. From a dark distant past.
So close at times my eyes see shimmering reflections cast.
A second pulse beats in my head yet so far away.
Spin the old, tired lie.
Trying not to think.
Speak freely of loss.
Schemes and drama slowly sink.
Cast empty black souls into darkness.
Hoping to find any semblance of self.
Something comfortably kind,
to prevent me from losing my mind.
Pale moons pass without static acts.
Dancing waves seem to behave,
like a ghost swimming my bloodstream.
Scavenging fragments of damage left behind.
Obsession, peeling back skin.
Forever waiting to begin.

The World is Watching
Manipulate a fact for nothing but a cheap thrill.
Call it what you will.
Kneel to dishonesty, falling scapegoat, pawn, or inbred shill.
From the trenches, unwashed masses rise and strike with a rebel yell.
Time will tell.
History warns us.
Tyrants whose kingdoms fell.
Guilt of perverse crimes, hung in a prison cell.
News of the day spread in such a way.
Positioned between the fray, fourth estate, third wave.
The Whole World is Watching
We always say, “Never again.” On and on, this is the last time.
The whole world is watching you lose.
Flee the scene to lessen the sting. Embarrassed to say why.
The whole world is watching you fall.
Answer the call, caged little rat, tried to squirm away, avoid the trap.
The whole world is watching you crawl.
The whole world is watching.
Freedom is never free.
Splintered impartiality.
Defend the obscured.
Delusional pride
Believe me or lying eyes.
The Whole World is Watching you Fall.
Believe in the word, spoken or overheard.
Written down without a sound.
Skin carved dreams from the underground.
Do not let the words die. See with unpolished eyes.
Last breath upholds ideals.
Without sacrifice what would be real?
Cannot have truth without trust.
Expose decency covered in rust.
Freely broadcast the airwaves.
In exchange for moral transparency.
Looking forward, will common sense prevail?
The earth looks so tired, sick, and pale.
Put us out of our misery.
Time to decide.
Live for balance or die.
Trying to prove your side right.
Nine o'clock blues, misread the news.
Trust erodes, exaggeration of head explodes.
Hope of new spun askew.
Tear us down, try to turn us around.
Hyperbole blown through.
The Whole world is watching you Fall.
The whole World is Watching.
Darkness to overcome. Hard to make it through.
Check on power, train wreck, look away.
Balance constitution and renew.

Seven Crowns and Seven Seals
by Sulphur Aeon
supported by 4 fans who also own “Mishief of Malcontent”
Blistering blackened death metal with haunting melody lines throughout. The melody never overcomes but rather gives hypnotizing testimony to the churning rhythms threatening to pull the listener below the waves. This is music by which to summon the Great Old Ones.
