The speed of mankind
Greed penetrates our veins
The pace of humanity
Our vision blurred
Subconsciously
Feelings suffocated
Rule of designer drugs
In designated spaces
Creeping emptiness
Held in check
The senseless worship
Of the pointless self
New faith for the weak
Pursuit of the simulated
And obtainable
The void sense of hope
The shining of false gods
Their vicious serpents
Eat our children
Yet unborn

3D (dream drop distance)
Wake up your mind, unplug from the matrix
Fuck the bullshit, facades and the fake shit
And above all fuck patience, your time is now
Raise em up to oppressors that stay looking down
They're not authentic, not affective, not accented, not avengers
When you smile they frown
They'll send in Storm Troopers to dilute the truth
Then they'll try to tame you with "the blue dream"
Plots and schemes to keep you amused
But whips and chains are nothing but things
In the end they'll leave you shackled and bruised
Abused, misconstrued but please don't be confused
When you grab the mic under Jordan they Lorenzon Wright you off
But have no fear you'll shine
Midas turned cold,
As his mind turned to gold.
There was no use praying,
No amount of worship could cease,
The minotaurs braying.
We're all disillusioned because
Adonis is lost.
Killed by Artemis' boar,
For he was beyond her touch.
I sit silent, still and watch,
The fall of Tannhäuser,
As he worships,
Aphrodite's crotch.
Pan waits with the reeds,
Playing on his pan pipes!
Syrinx's grief still bleeds,
Her voice echoes out through the night!
She simply had to escape!
Into the river,
To save herself,
From Pan's rape.
Fond fools serve mad jealousy.
Performing the unthinkable,
Doesn't matter if it's heresy.
All these myths are mythology.
New Dawn
by Tricia Pattinson
Beneath layers of enchantments
Guarding hidden agendas
Are words of watery monsters
We're each a corporation born in water
A ship's birth item certified
A corpse in dead sea exits life
Between the beginning and the end
Bought and sold on Wall Street
CUSPID under shells
While commerce and congress
Mean the same thing in Kirk and State
Capital built on sex just as Capt. Kirk meant
And evil is personified with a 'D'
Good an elongation of God's personality
Divine of the vine held in HIGH esteem
Deus a Roman word
Zeus survives in Rome!
Hiding behind the vine of a bloody wine
Too bad the enchantments really wor
Don't close your heart
To the world
Even if it's cruel
Don't see emotions
As a sign of weakness
No matter what others say
Don't ignore
The ones in need
Help them instead
Don't think
You have to be tough
To be someone
And before you judge others
For their issues and problems
Remember
Always remember
The burdened hearts
Are the most compassionate ones
Embedded in concrete
The interface of perfection
My mouth always open
In hunger for sacrifice
Green veins of circuitry
The greatness of their purpose
My body a statue
For global connection
I dispense
The disposable joy
I give out
The glow of temptation
They've labeled me
Invented my beauty
They manufactured
My deadly attraction
My hearth is a poison
My mind liquefied lust
My craft is to infect
With dogmas of the few
I'm the wheels
Of social addiction
The perpetuator
Of chaotic motion
I'm the destroyer
Of human innocence
Embedded in concrete
My grin is well hidden
they seduce us with simple words and colored lies
diverting our minds into buying what we don't need
psycho-analyzing material needs. patching souls
filled with greed
creating wants based on manipulative advertising
brainwashing is easy when all we do is
sit, eyes glued to pixelated screens

Lies Told to Children
1. There is a pot of gold at the end of the rainbow. You can end your family’s financial troubles if you can find it.
2. Your older brother just said duck. Really.
3. Once a tooth detaches itself from your gum you should put that mass of dead cells and bacteria under your pillow. A fairy will enter your room once you are sleeping and exchange your tooth for money. Why your tooth is worth 5 cents when your classmate gets ten dollars is irrelevant, the tooth fairy has her reasons.
4. The bully is just jealous of you, if you do not respond they will leave you alone.
5. A magical elderly man watches you year round and judges you with hi
You can push me down,
you can make me fall,
you can soil my beliefs
if that answers your call.
But I will not bow
and I will not break!
Refuse to surrender
for anyone’s sake!
So heed my warning,
remember my creed:
“As soon as I’m ready,
I’ll be back on my feet!”
Still kickin’, still fighting,
I’m strong on my own;
don’t need your fake words,
I’ll make it alone!
I’m a one-man-army,
I’m my brother in arms,
I will never back down,
regardless of harms.
To the end of the battle,
to the end of the war,
I will stand my ground
till my heart beats no more.
Never give in!
