boredom crept through veins like robbers in a pantomime, loud, brash, for all intent otherwise yet silent, ineffective as it was crass, all consuming as it was empty. he felt empty at the worst of times half at best, the eternal internal pessimist,  he insists that he subsists, convinced of the bleak future he predicts, that his convictions free him from the bars that constrict others his face stained with melanin eyes strain to view the portrayed twisted from the true image in statistics, infrequent clicks and visits and yes you’re a piece of shit he reminds himself as the media does as others do. 
 he remains enslaved to the freedom of the internet, weaved and trapped in the invisible web, email chained in liberty, at his desk he remains. hard pressed with stress,  bugs crawl skin deep, leaves his internal systems in a mess, being and nothingness eat him whole. 
 a soul far from blessed his head rests far from gods chest lost in exodus far from the right psalm of god in the valley of the shadow of death sadness slipped through slits in the wrists like a new disc, see these drives go further, slide into the abyss. 127 hours of this shit caught between rock chose not to exist, dismissive of regression deep depression lies close, too close. just the pits stare back and his soul still black wrapped benign been weird since nine ten whole years is a whole lottta time so no suprise that he back with same perrsonality a whole new rucksack carrying way more baggage looking way more haggard leaked torn from cloth savage he runs from responsibility trips, persists splits his soul into little bits feeds birds and bees till she grabs the crux of the argument swipes so idly in idyllic mist and yet, still, he savoured its cold embrace heart painted across the face caught a cold never saw a case for me and you our saviour was a mortal, reconciled in the divine, in art in music, the fruit of loom was a canvas for our hopes and dreams docs for our fears and failures still trudging over strangers and we don't even fucking know if jesus will come save us

in my minds eye i saw bill nye the science guy bring a man back to life to ressurrect the strife a sycophantic tragedy slave to the whims of those who in see it comedy cos comically astrology plotted me and him either that or misread the stars while heart beats irregular dreaming chains and cars missed calls in my cellualar trapped in lberty facebook coercing me all for niggers fucking history fuck the cookies tell gretel to step to me cos sex might just be the fucking remedy for empty for a second time i smoked myself into a lucid stupor with fickle malintention cruel misdirection of intention and wondering bout the ins of prevention cos the out was the grams intervention against the dangers of the night, and the styx so we burned em, a viking funeral for a man who lived north of border death in the family brought chaos to the order rocks strewn in a bed of dull leaves begging the lord please but no reply cos we all die and my ego did embers burning bright inhale, exhale for those can’t tryna keep him alive resting in pieces of art the face of a beloved painted forever incandescent in the smoke as we choked forward tears and for the third time i felt death draw near

last night i dreamed lady luck spoke to me eyes burned fire as her ire took a hold of me crimson dress splayed in winds from the west wandering eyes put modesty to test im a piece of shit, i know it depressed motherfucker moonlighting as a poet thats showbiz i guess stressed, pressed by impaitience too damn stubborn to be in patient and the voices never vacant and death sits at the shoulder, fast train tracks the altar saying take a knee bow head quick at the feet of majesty and find me, like feynman realigning time so i travel back to see future minds and mines set, still dreaming about suicidal sheep wondering if this new job can ever pay the fees for the cruise down to hades, and if these chats with death make me less crazy and shit bare soul as the feet walk coals and the feels don’t go but it feels like i’ve stopped running, death chasing but i still his touch coming and the throughbred aint left redressed the points made in his last text that its juust pretense for past vents and future kept secret like the best so safari park the setting war in the brain so get got or getting getting dog eat dog world fists curled as sanity lays strewn unfurled as i hurled my soul on the cold hard pavement funny how black now seems to be a statement shame these white boys don’t know what it came with anxiety creeping quickly as the shame did, just in case the clothes ain’t clean, mum told me don’t be like those guys on tv yet who the fuck else did i see part from historians and professors on discovery nat geo, used to sweat time team, used to be happy now sadness ain’t a worry it’s a habit, but comedy rises from tragic, aristophanes the way i get thespians heckling hyde from myself to not let fucking jeykll in still smoking devlish but not as much started giving more fucks hash in rotation is the only way the highs come cos otherwise the mind numb to the beauty of the green, plants bloomed under violent blues of summer brought me back to reality

low fucking power meant lookin dour like sour grapes cos the sun didn’t shine like it used to and i am used to better fait accomplis and on top of me the world seemed couldn’t shrug cos my objectives were different less randy more brandied in hard liqour and arrogant dismissal i guess cos choice words only used when choice isn’t there and life always fairly pessimistic cos the hatred is intrinsic and internalised and no surprises saved for later ever present in past sets so the hanging ivy still a pipe dream cos that would mean the future had an ending and pretending any different is a lie and stood up by expectation cos her date still waiting replicating replicants in exodus as the blade runs across unexplored nubian landscapes but i got plans pan african yet stayed stranded so black so looks underhanded hand over fist this whipped kid hid and let slits become palaces a slave to fucking avarice besotted to her chariot i used to a ride waves maybe future plans remain unplotted but zeigeist of a fake fucking star sign might realise time was never different and days never better might not remember but it sure as fuck beats december or any other month that matter cos the chatter feels distant, oh so dismissive of adhering now appearing sane still dressing the same sorry wounds with similar dressing but undressing different dresses annointing the unrequited ghosting so they probably feel slighted or slightly bemused confused at a nigger so rude but i intrude persued by persuing at every shoulder, good thing i got my boy janus to look for me, genus broken down dialectically directing me to paths unknown cos the split represents schitz to me like the world and reality so i feel more alone but i’ll condone a few brews a few qs a few more shrooms cos now im feeling lifted the tabs got me lucid the keys opened horses dreams to eyes of a boy so sleepless see low fucking power meant years spent looking for escape, from self hate or tryna placate the demons seen as teeming with regret never worthy of respect so what did you expect i packed my bags up and left took the weight off my chest days abroad, feeling blessed no fucks to have to press ain’t dealing with no stress unfold those crinkled rizla roll you rotterdam grams, suns kissed glistening trams parks sat felt land drowning once im saved now sauce got me chasing fraus weed got me seeing clowns all adrian van de plaas so, fuck with now cos a nigger back on his bullshit talking all this new shit like new friends, who dis got me walking foolish xans got me teeth looking devilish so prevelant irrevelevance now reverence oh so obsequious so good they treating us fangs out who tryna fuck with me now

the apple never fell far from the tree but apples aways felt like oranges for me, the limelight shone sour through the lemon looking glass and this niggers some edgy looking ass fool, dusty tool in a toolbox of dreams and fears, each arrears felt like years taken from emanicapated souls of old and the cold bites sharper [and quicker] than any shark knows behold the beholden teeth marks engraved on the neck blood red til they’re golden and stolen kisses turn fonder longing succumbing to desire and the ire of the north poured forth like bullhorns so what the fuck this matter anymore any call answered with the sound of ear ringing silence preached non violence throwing punches in sermons and the congregation remains undecided tiptoed on the edge of life and death like derrida derrided like the gods above provided binary opposition to meek submission left the vicar shellshocked shirt untucked he gave no fucks and killled with his eyes a solitary tear dropped and they threw a non stop pity party donated sweet nothings from honeys and bitches with newly sewn stiches in their sides and they laughed as the poor man cried outside of constraint of human hearing his suffering became suffrage and depression became endearing to those fearing the devils nearing would leave em peering in tombs in deep below catacombs til death entered those dark rooms so i ain't been church in a fucking minute left sermon early, collection plate empty on its last visit angel hit up me but i’m too broke, god damn plans went to shit hit by a lost religion, chronic indecision and financial attrition lead to derision a path well travelled by me a cult story of riches to rags so catch me bumming fags off strangers or maybe later i might be about predilection for immature decisions so im splitting gains made into losses and im feeling neo gothic as i hyde myself cackling rambling as i cried to myself i lied to myself seams torn like the seventh seal so catch me on horseback stick close to death the only truth like im rorschach seeing pictures differently the difference be i am me whatever the fuck that means individuality expressed after fourth syllable

time ticks slowly when you have to wait for shit to happen i find at least until novelty strikes like lightning, then the anxiety chimes in with a heavy chorus of its own so i prefer to wait let life come and do its worst smile in awkward lifts without a phone wander alone down empty side streets and laugh at the wealth parked 4 by 4 in the cars beside me at least long walks stalk routes trampled by others explorers of an unknown world with lamps and maps as a guide n which makes no sense when you’ve google but fuck it luck stays with the courageous i reckon and the underbelly beckons each wrong turn with an apolegetic sigh and lits its top and shows the wonders it hides cos the best secrets are kept quiet so i like to walk alone a lot silent music being the tour guide and just ride the waves of tourists meandering gently across concrete beaches facetious to cunts like buckowski i know but sometimes you’ve got to appreciate the pretentious in their own right until a yo, wys boss brings you down to less cunty times and reminds you of home with the grease and taste of lahore dripping down big satisfied lips and the shit you used to do when you had to come home while the sky was still lit but mates persuaded you to take opportunity of better occasions than 4 blank red walls misjudged and misguided arguments with ones you’ve now learnt to love cos fuck i was a cunt to my mum and dad, probably still am, to be honest but i’m getting there i hope no longer musing about ropes except gold ones so i doubt i’ll be the forgotten one cos i get nods from rastas and blessings from pastors so i’m good for now, thanks ranks quite high on my most used words these days cos i’m steady tryna appreciate more shit by doing way more shit than i ever imagined so when the head splits its all a past rheetoric cos i’m cautious still awkward as fuck but some things never change but the paint is gonna be more precise less ill advised and more ill supplied i guess cos the schitz helps me see a little differently, granted but less departed from reality which is nice yeah, imma just this ride for a bit, i thought i saw dragons in a drug fuelled sleep, white rabbit carved on my chest in search of utopia, etched deep, cornucopia blowing steady in these northern winds, cos plenty was the shadow of deadly intentions, misdirection filled to the brim like cups of the cherubim, me, glowing 80s smile, cocaine shawty, her, whine to the death, ask motherfuckers who’s up next as i step, pressed and unimpressed by these lames tryna save face, i might dance with devils instead, give em heaven like i’m a damn reverend, or revenant, staying relevant with every bit of sauce dripping from the corduroys, ahoy boy cos this ferret ferried burberry on the fucking cheap, slight nigger looking sleek and the tongue removed from cheek, in between the gap teeth smoking area counting sheep sleep in between egyptian sheets, million plus house meek, creep past housekeep gone thought once i was in heaven as moses said for the third how he’d smoke a tree burned bush with god in bare feet while me i just took the joint and smoked the godly, oddly mary magdelene refused to get off me sat atop me and said this my sermon of the mount while jesus sat and asked for the details of my bank account so i could paypal money for god to forgive me, swiftly, checked the balance, said this could be tricky my overdraft aint that deep and my parents’ll miss me thus he dismissed me, said some sins are worth too much and lunch with devil and such means that he aint give a fuck

i met those who seek to destroy ploys employed enjoyed by envoys who invoice blinded by prophecies and told to rejoice, and how can you escape when there ain’t even a choice secure in apotheosis of the darkest kinds chats with death as it seemed or minds aligned ego death came on insomniac nights revealing the true hearts of men, desires that overcome them, that brings horsemen from hell to the doorstep the end marked by a mellotron quartet the faintest smile marked the end smiles i never realised how beautiful the smoke looked til i saw the light and how the dust shook into rings that formed tiny planets by force of habit i wrote, spoke over loops that eloped to the higher stratosphere of the mind, joked, that reality reflected poetry, literally i spoke to me, free, lifted as the weed took me, ooopsie mum i don’t do drugs like like thugs i do em like artists, makes the mind turn like carthasis as i break free from the chains of sobriety entirely i wasn’t with it, only my body felt the rhythm schisms of schiz left me tits up while still on downers and paranoia had my existence at its centre wavy garms but fears naked as an new emperor self hate made hades a contender for the shell of a man who walked earth a pretender shouldn’t matter since we all come from the worlds placenta fulfil agendas like four filled agendas of a man with dementia cos i was contructing a simile but i cant cant remember silly me now imma kill mcs with poetry and craft a 16 fit for an obituary funny how the darkest days feel truly enlightening thunder nd lightning, that shit truly frightening waves of truth flooding in like im poseidon fourth hourse riding no suprise those alive are hiding from the boy who break walls, im the shining beacon in the night, no need for the torchlight, the flame flickers as the wind tries to fight the light tryna keep the joint alight, air in the sails but that shit rolled tight like the squad, the crew, tryna find myself so how the fuck i find you
