Caritas (Love Fights)
Serpent slithering in the garden
Grasses in morning breezes sway
Wicked stalker, sliding hatefully
Where the little children play
But heart and soul and will of true love
Come slamming down as Mother’s heel
Total violence without mercy
Total violence true and real
Love Fights.
Love Fights.
Love Fights.
Love Fights.
Love Fights.
Love Fights.
Love Fights.
Serpent screaming out in terror
Crushed body, innards flooding out in firth
Deaf ears turned towards evil’s pleading
Crush that bastard into earth.
The sacred word that only lives in action
The truest weapon one might spend
Far from petty, passing, fleeting emotion
Hard fact, true force, without end.
Love Fights.

Fraud.
Narcissus claims veteran and postures as legit
Narcissus cannot have his way? He’ll bitch and throw a fit
Narcissus thinks he’s hero and postures as a god
Narcissus is a fake, a sham, a fake, a sham, a fraud
Fraud. Fraud. Fraud. Fraud. Fraud.
Big makeover
For a “Big Takeover”
He’s got a new image to refine
A trendy mask of empty bad clichés to mask a total lack of spine
Narcissus desired Olympian heights without having to scale
Narcissus could not have his way so he did pout and wail
And he’s a fake, a sham, a clown, a tool, a fraud. He’s a fraud.

Ghost
Coerce, browbeat and act with hate
When a real democracy is about give and take
But you don’t want that, no you want all
So you can build your tower tall
Then shout the word bigot until you turn blue
When the only real bigot standing here is you
B-I-G-O-T
Bigot
You want the whole of all creation to bow to your petty will
And in each forcefully pried open mind, a glorious vision you’ll instill
In glorious PC kulturekampf where you the brown shirt arbitrate
Expurgate freedom of speech, then brainwash and indoctrinate
And any remnant soul left outside of your political persuasion
Who has will to resist propagandized, ideological castration
Will be abruptly liquidated with all morally objective scions
In the ‘progressive’ coliseum where they feed dissidents to lions.

Mr. Masculine
“Hey there I’m the average All-Suburban man
I’m a porn loving, beer drinking, NFL fan
I like seadoos and dirt bikes and things that go fast
Though I can’t quite remember when I read a book last
I love to compete but I can’t stand to loose
Instead of swallowing my pride I’ll just swallow some booze
Reduce human life to a sitcom cliché
Then chastise those unlike me as either pitiful or gay”
Diefy testosterone,
To mask my soul cowardly and prone
Shirk obligation, chase escape
Human Being desiring ape
“Got no shred of integrity
But watch and look how far I pee
Me enterprise towards troglodyte
Because that be symbol of true might
Stuff my paycheck into some fat stripper’s racks
As I drive home I wonder what my marriage it lacks
Far too much work to invest in my kids and wife
They restrain me and won’t let me live my own life.
Don’t got the balls to fight so the contest I’ll rig
Call myself a contender when in fact I’m a pig
Then give an opinion on a race I’ve never ran
Someone lied to me when they told me I’m a man.”

Ecclesiasticus (Beyond).
I came in youth unsure, afraid, awakening from sleep
But in the fields I found my clan, a tribe of true black sheep
And saw the river’s waters high so with them forged a craft
But after the river’s crossing, I deified the raft.
And hid my soul in scavenging
The starved, self-loathing vulture
Who lingered in the prolonged gasp
Of an expiring subculture
Trying to farm a world of make believe
Idealism and pretend
But like all things, behold and see this too comes to an end.
This music is not the ultimate
It’s a mere grain upon a shore
A twig on a branch heavy tree
That grows
Far truer than hardcore.
Yet we stand here still beholding the long made youthful observation
The proverbial iceberg tip of a far greater revelation
I’m taking my peace with me
I’ve no interest in the “score”
My will is possessed by hunger for an end that blooms
Far truer than hardcore.
