snapcase/strike anywhere/100 deoms

i missed saturday and sunday since i had plans and really couldn't find the time to post. so i am posting saturday and sunday as well as monday too.

MONDAY

strike anywhere


sedition




Which lie is the one
that will take me
and which war
Generations of wage slave data
family stories they said don't matter
when the last breath burns
in the throats of Bhopal
will I feel the blade
when they bury them all
Hiding from us
all this time
ghosts flickering
and out
of my mind

Dead End Streets
We walk by
No Retreat
Staring at the sun
Dead End Streets
the blast shadows
are waiting for an answer
all this time

I'll give them mine

If I could
walk in my grandfather's footsteps
while they glowed in the dark
on his way back from the yard
where the train was parked
I'd say
Don't turn your back
Don't you trust those bastards

I wish I could say this now

Don't Walk By
No retreat
Staring at the sun
Dead End Streets
the blast shadows
are waiting for an answer
All this time
I'll give them mine

Into our history…
Not even a letter
to fake a smile
to say 'I'm sorry'

Our trust in this system's dead

what will it take
to make you sorry?

Hiroshima started in Tennessee
Let it end with me
Let it end




sunset on 32nd




When they broke down the door
and put their guns in the face of your wife and child
and as they pinned you to the floor
did you say "officer, i am not resisting you. " ?


American Justice american dream
is this what ' the other half ' means
half of our lives dissolved in fear
half of our rights they disappear
is our apathy so corrosive
where does the cycle start
hear the sirens screaming out in the distance
hold your family close to your heart


American Justice American Lies
a war of words that I despise
I wish the good cops If they exist
the very best
and a bullet for all the


complications injustice deliberations what's the deal
they fake it, we break it, and take back what they steal
we could rise black and white unbound and make them pay
for every tear, for every fear, defend our yesterdays


when they dropped the bomb on the building to kill a MOVEment
did they care where the rights of the murdered went
police terror in the eyes of the children
police terror in the streets of every town
where's our freedom when the sun goes down
and will the houses that the landlords built keep out the bullet sound


American Justice American Lies
a racist prison
anaesthetized
I wish the good cops If they exist
the very best
and a bullet for all the . . .


so we try
to defend
together


defend our yesterdays , defend our tomorrows
together





SUNDAY

snapcase

steps



i want to live my life, live it my own way over throw the shame, the shame you dealt brought me to my knees always trying to please you instead of living for me, you say you say you know whats best for me time change the time has come for me to change and you controlled my dreams, i never asked you and i never agreed to your requests goal destinies i abandoned you and now im free, now i, i live my life live it my own way forget yesterday no expectations just my ambitions identity the choice is up to me



caboose



do you know yourself
do you know the others
can you pull the weight that rides on another's shoulders
once you've lost yourself to the acceptance mask
well could you find yourself
it's not a simple task
self-inherence
freedom
comes from within
take a different track
it's time to see what you are made of
can you expose yourself
can you peel off another layer
will you make the time
the time to control
because only you can save yourself
only you can save your soul
and once you save yourself
insecurities will die
genuine qualities
and true character will shine
now that you belong to you
what will the others think
well, soon they'll follow you
you'll see they're all so weak
come on
can you, let go
can you, be you





SATURDAY

100 demons


repeat process




This was the time, the only time I thought that it would all work out.
Make a believer of myself without a doubt.
I made a pact.
I swore and swore and swore again.
But here I stand.
Rage unbridled.
Not what I used to be.
Pain so vital, it's necessary.
My dear I'm so sorry.
I can't control myself.
It's real, no story.
I am broken again.
Through the times that I kept myself in control.
Oh! I felt free, free from all the fear that was controlling me.
It was only just a whisper form my breath.
It has returned and so I wait for the...
Rage unbridled.
Not what I used to be.
Pain so vital, it's necessary.
My dear I'm so sorry.
I can't control myself.
It's real, no story.
I am broken again.
My only love I throw away.
Turned into coal now as she lays.
I dig this hole.
I've lost my way.
Rage unbridled.
Not what I used to be.
Pain so vital, it's necessary.
My dear I'm so sorry.
I can't control myself.
It's real, no story.
I am broken again.
