Reincarnate

A new yarn is yet to be spun
Spirit leaves the body for another one
Maybe the gamble will end in favor
A treat so sweet, it can only be savored
Buried in the Earth, soil fuses with bone
As the wandering soul seeks out a new home
A physicality on the other spectrum
A brand new mold the spirit vehicle comes from
Passive malicious intent, not an active attempt
Towards premature death
Just biding time
Hoping for a last breath
Is he willing to bet on reincarnation
And a soft, supple, skinbag salvation?
A hopeful wish that one will be saved from
An unfortunate mess of a wrong decision
A birth given right should bring elation
But infests the mind with intense depression
To begin again is ultimate intention
But with slight worry of a false destination
Where did it all go wrong?
It's been incorrect all along
The fault manifested young
Followed through many years long
A new direction one can wish for
See what for him is in store
A hopeful outlook on a future
Rectified by an astral suture
A new inflection, a life renewed
Setting change for he who
A current state has horribly faltered
Set to a 180 degree alter
Certain aspects need to reset for this soul to no longer fret
Required physicality refresh for the happiness to truly mesh
Born again as the opposite, restart from zero, a brand composite
This is optimism at its finest, the thought that this will finesse
Fresh made cast to adhere
A loss of terrible fear
And gain a new outlook
One by a joy based book
This is the brand new beginning
Finally she can be the one winning
The blueprint with which she was freed
She can set out and only succeed

Four Horse

The wretched, the earth’s core within
Burning brightly with the fire of sin
Shouts with a beastly roar akin
To the mighty Lucifer, the devil him-self
Reaching up from the mantle and crust
Colossal fist pounding down with disgust
Shining metal of man conforming to rust
There’s something wrong, be it there must
His lust to send man to bust
Filling their mind with his horrible musk
The self destruction he entrusts
To the likes of man, it’s sadly just
The four horsemen of the apocalypse cometh
Bringing the fall with the strength of comets
Indulging greatly in a fetish of desolation
Engorging irately with fierce annihilation
Getting off on their stimulant perverse
Punishing the masses for what can’t be reversed
Letting down unto the free willed a savage curse
Blood water, locusts and frogs are birthed
Their presence metaphorical of course
A parasitic draw the brain will immerse
The mighty drops plagues interspersed
Sapien demolition has been coerced
Failure to observe, the scrawlings in scrolls
And no regard for what the future holds
Still though, stepping forward so bold
Thinking they’re on a path lain with gold
Full of mold they grow before becoming cold
And sold on the doled out scold of the old
Rolled and folded, rested in hole
Without demise, he can’t console

Mountain

Twist and turn, carried through the mountain's tide
No intent to leave behind the effervescent feeling inside
205 55 R16
Let's never escape this night time dream
The stars, gleam as the eyes
And the worries capsize
Controlling the flow of our very destiny
I’d rather not drive without you beside me
As beneath, the asphalt stretches its feet
The engine growls, and the rubber fleet
In and out, through the Subaru snout
Barrel down the canyon with clout
This time, spent in vain
If spent with another sky
This time, has been slain
By the likes of you and I
The midnight drive is a favorite of mine
An absolute definition of jubilance
With you this ride shall intertwine
And with the road we'll perform our dance
The paint beneath, yellow and white
Swirling swiftly through our sight
Stealing hours with hands of sleight
This is when the bliss is quite right
As we charge down this road
Mountains here and prairie fields there
Adrenaline, never slowed or stowed
Excitement of stand on its end hair
This journey could last a lifetime
With the cosmos we converse
My forever is only thine
And I know yours is mine

Adapt
You’re supposed to adapt
Yet instead you attack
Demolition you attract
And turn the whole Earth black
Pan out from the forests and oceans
You’ve destroyed with intense devotion
See the wreckage at your hand
You’ve wrought horror on shared land
Mammalian your name
A paradox in vain
Bring them to acquaint
With death and violent flame
Mammalian your shame
A tinderbox your game
Play with no constraint
With impossible sustain
Tu nullum mammale, sed morbus es
(You're no mammal, you're a disease)
Tu nullum mammale, sed virus es
(You're no mammal, you're a virus)
Your surroundings were
Meant to change you
Your surroundings have
Been given birth anew
But not one featuring the fruits of life
New meaning to the word of strife
The footprint large and in you break
Shake the natives to their radiopaque
Scorched vermilion blackened cinnabar
Torched brilliance now your abattoir
Becoming a virus oh so bonafide
A Mother’s new need for prolicide
Extend her hand, wash away vermintide
Destroy the very ones on the urchin’s side
The foundation lain down, brick by brick
Making the maker absolutely fucking sick
She observes a creation potentially slick
Given a home from which now to evict
Sucking dry, the resources of yesteryear
While you think you’ve done your best here dear
Optimum would’ve been to not infest this sphere
Nobody appreciates the gross land theft here
You took land with which you were blessed
Tu nullum mammale, sed morbus es
Converted to ash what was picturesque
Tu nullum mammale, sed virus es
