My thoughts twist,
blessed by the death kiss,
pressure hits your dimples,
kept nice & simple,
so-called sacred temples,
new comers are eager to learn,
the raw anger burns,
they say it ain’t my concern,
my thirst yearns,
my words hit;
like the fists of tommy hearns,
antagonize the pain,
the soul still remains,
brutal impact of my ball & chain,
force motivated train,
never cease to complain,
stake out the plain,
chisel marks in your brain,
the giant has been slain,
thee abundance of gain,
deprive thee insane,
wave my wand of splendor,
shapes lack gender,
resist the surrender,
is this fact or fiction,
hectic addiction,
subtract with addition,
worsen the condition,
contradict the decision,
with words i dismember bodies with precision,
shattering collision,
daydream the vision,
divide with division,
indefinable definition........
