here is some shit i wrote at work:

i'm a cannon but of glass
bringing down Lincoln & Adams
but give me so much as a glance
and i turn into grains of sand

i'm a tiger made from paper
bringing doom to the sun
but with the flick of a lighter
consumed and done

i'm a man and human being
bringing death to those opposed
but with the hint of a smile
i'm the one exposed

..........................

she's just like you
living in this world
doing what you do
living like a girl

////

he left when i was young
not much more than six
i was left to learn alone
fighting the wilds with sticks

then word came she was leaving
staying up after nightly prayers
there was no sense in believing
all that wasn't there
-----------------

you take everything so seriously
you can't even just let yourself be
and after hearing all this you agree
....

********************

i've got my spear and shield
you can blame my Roman nose
the people around me say "he's
lookin' for a fight everywhere he goes"

i'm not lookin for a fight
i'm lookin for more
i'm not lookin for a fight
i'm lookin for war

can't you feel the weather change
or are you still to young
while i'm off fighting and dying
you're still sucking your fucking thumb

here i die down in the dirt
please don't let her kiss me asleep
because that would be what really hurts

+++++++++++++++++++++

children contemplate changes
adults atrophy in its wake
talking heads become toreadors
dancing around the truth
everyone professes wisdom
but no one teaches alternatives
i've got one
i've got two

women don't know their place
and neither do the men
trading liquids for dreams
that will never come again
we lose our natural divinity
to calm natural desires
i've got hers
i've got ours

--------------

circle circle circle
around we go like flies

yeah...i got nothing.
