Punching Judy

Snake – you tried to bite
To steal the life from loyalty,
The poison of your painted smile
Designed to slowly kill.
Fake – you tried to strike
To crush the cast of innocence,
The brute force of your chosen words
Designed to smash me down.
Rape – you broke my trust
To further your own circumstance,
The only thoughts you spared to keep
Were branded with your name.
Rape - you broke my trust
You broke my trust!
Your crocodile tears had fooled me
You picked me up and used me,
Then cast me off
When you needed me no more.
Behind my back - you pulled the strings
Behind my back - you worked your schemes
Anticipating profit.
Bitch – didn’t think I’d fight
To squeeze the life from out of you?
The destruction of our friendship
Is the least you can expect!
Hate – now out of sight
Your betrayal was an insult
And I’ll take my pound of flesh
Now that you’ve incurred these debts.
Your crocodile tears had fooled me
You picked me up and used me,
Then cast me off
When you needed me no more.

Amalgamated Beast

Terrified to stare
Into the eyes devoid –
Witness to brutality
And without hope of fear.
Repelled, recoil: rethink my ignorance
I never knew hate so raw and vicious.
Disgust, despair: destroy my every sense
Cliché breathing fumes upon my face.
I have to vaccinate my soul against this
Poison-tide rising.
Tempted by The Final Solution
I’m propagating evil.
Terrified to share
Within the flesh despoiled –
Common disease reflected
And without chance of cure.
Coagulate identity
Underfed psychology,
Inbred design
Amalgamated beast.

Silence of Memory

A life of servitude
The manner that you choose
Who stole your self-respect
That you should grovel thus?
A life of loyalty
You’re blind to all you see
Protect and serve with pride
The ones who steal your life.
Conditioned to accept your fate
Your lips are sealed
To self-condemning silence
To self-condemning silence
To self-condemning silence
To self-condemning silence.
Passing judgement on a whim
You’re less than nothing to them!
It’s what you’ve seen and what you’ve heard
That moves them into action.
There’s no deliverance
There’s only self-defence
You fool.

Our society is socially bankrupt
Devoid of culture
That could fulfil…
A need for pride
A need for strength
A need for any need at all.
Wander,
Lost without purpose.
False motions carried through
For lack of an alternative.
Our society is morally corrupt
Devoid of values
That could instil…
A sense of worth
A sense of place
A sense of any sense at all.
Hollow,
Life without meaning?
We’re searching for a reason
To continue this charade.
We cannot live this way!
We cannot live this way - we have to live this way.
WE
CANNOT
LIVE
THIS
WAY.
Hollow life
Without meaning
False motions
Carried through.
We cannot live this way!
We cannot live this way - we have to live this way.
WE
CANNOT
LIVE
THIS
WAY.
