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

death in the family
02:26
|
|

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

lousy days took me cross mr64a,
remained caged so the boy couldn’t fly away,
got high like paper planes with school mates and steady start to contemplate matters of fate
the boy been down a wormhole
a paradox, a fallacy,
spinning yarns of gold to ellicit fantasy and parody
its all for fucking bathos
a sucker for sin so he always worship chaos
a calamity posed like ancient greek comedy
im as high as the birds call me young aristophanes
playing would ya rather with a coy lysistrata
cos this girl still stuck in my head, i got
dreams of sunny times and zoots on the bed
and instead,
all the train tracks lie on the edge of the styx
and all dreams must die if its coming to this
all stations to hell on the met line,
boatmen of volga still swingin in half time
moonlight serenade
charon clad in red and blue
no trains in view screaming fuck you,
pay me,
and im clawing at the bridge screaming fuck you,
take me
lousy days took me cross mr64a,
remained caged so the boy couldn’t fly away,
got high like paper planes with school mates and steady start to contemplate matters of fate as the train roars past we head to our escape to the paths that we took for all these damn zoot breaks,
to escape the bullshit and heartaches
mr64a mr64a
verse two brings with it a pitiful view
a so-called sleuth slewed drinking seedy brews
investigated claims in northwood news
of uncontrolable youths illiciting explosive truths
joints sparked like fireworks
clouds painted red purple as the sky burns
sun walker leo so fire where the stars turned
my birth date shook hands with fate,
destined to be a king yet my eyes stink of sin and my cries held within,
the cages,
and notes on yellowed pages
oh he’s so suprising with his black skin and his dressing so depressing he’s depressed nd wants nothing less than to those final steps outside the cages that he wept
especially when the voices in my head says i’m
//
destined to be
late to the party with all of his arsty farty shit
telling to you believe this bullshit about how the sky turns means that you’ll learn a god damn thing bout all the times he fucked up and didn’t learn,
not so great now bitch
your fucking horoscope couldn’t see shit
failure the last i checked, why don’t you cash that shit
call yourself an artist, you don’t rap bout shit
just rap bout shit,
walking bout like shit
when you ain’t bout shit
fuck that nigger man
he aint shit
fuck him man
let’s fucking go golf course
catch the sunset

train journeys on rainy days make the whole world feel grey,
fleeing the county like a enemy of state
for a week or two
saw a side of the country i never knew
shame the skies aint blue,
but my soul is if its all the same to you
tears roll down the window
pane becomes essential
type a couple of messages
but i don’t know who their sent to
im sorry i meant to
be there for you
but
the green got me
leaning at 38 degrees
so petitions are left in the inbox please
i saw the world at 100 miles per hour,
deflowered by man power
and heavy august shower
while my fears as big my feet
niggas still clowning me
got this song stuck in my head and i’m tying not to
repeat the year
drown my sorrows in wheat barley im barmy
but all i see is farms so
im scared i’ll regress and get depressed and become a void til nothings left
deaf to the world and its pleas i might take a trip to hades
cos the styx will break my soul,
i know stones thrown break windows and all this broken glass got me bleeding tears of musical sorrow
dont what tomorrow has in store so i’ll buy baccy from tesco
and pree the harvest youssefs sown
doubt that shits home grown
hope being weird since 8 means i can flip the script of my predestined weird reality and strectch it to infinity
and beyond
cos good and evil don’t mean shit
if the apolline is my divine
and morality is an affliction
cos my desires lead to addiction
and predicliction defies prediction
til all the lines blur and i see is horses dreams and coke fiends and life becomes fiction
shit to make the mind split til figments become real shit and i dont where to go
so where do i call home if i got no one to phone and im still feeling alone

(seigfried)
male black citizen,
dont that make me a war crime
cos the fucking drugs
the white kids be scared of thugs
yet they dress like them and they wanna be us
fuck that shit he said nonplussed
times have changed and a race is just a construct
for building walls cos it ain’t freeing us
i raised my hand indignantly to those who passed
names be forgotten but the spirit still reside in me
feel the heart beat of forgotten nations speak from the pridelands of a home i might never see
a whole history got taken away from me in slave ships to plantations see
i believe the struggle and the pain still speak
with the jazz on repeat
davis, bechet and coltrane smile at me
i pictured reality
a look a like basquiat so no surprise the kid paint it differently
grew in a world were i see colour vividly cos the lack thereof meant few black kids ever stood beside me
so those melodies were important,
i sailed the litlle wing of a lead guitarist,
i dreamt of turiya with a beautiful harpist,
i,
learnt that water get no enemy
freed myself of colonial mentality
but mob convictions strengthened bad intentions
home restrictions meant mad adventures
and i lost myself
and i lost myself

lowfuckingpower, janus

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

tripped
indignant in the face of ignorance
chips down
crown be above with the cherubim
lips sing hymns of praise so i guessin im
greatful for all fools cos these horses dreams be a roll call
fuck an act when the xans the hash tucked slick the backpack
nigger black as sin with the light skin
caught ya slippin in the tundra, no wonder
artic climes make ya bitch slip under the cover
as i espy a wandering eye to make a chick dceide if she down to ride
or if she isn’t
ice be gleaming like a blizzard
fangs be grippin the teeth nd the neck
singing kali with the cali and someday we’ll be
living dizzy heights as we cloud the skylight with dreams of bad intention
smoke alarm prevention
come through wrong and roundabout find misdirection
cos this komi shit a club
pay the fees for the collection
an hour late alas,
dog days,
got me bitchin and slipping cos the sand ripping through the veins of time itself
rolling deadly like the persian
blade sheathed
crown torn from the heads of cerberus
rollin threes like dice
triple six is sexy nd I’m slaying
demon clad in granddads garb
age range dialed to sixty
flames of tinder burning bright
night brings ablyss

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
