Don't slather me with your bile
And then claim that I made you sick
I am innocent in this crime
It is I who is a witness,
And you are a perpetrator
I exist in this ozone of poisonous vapors,
But I didn't park my car in a green zone and leave it running
You may have forgotten that you brought in your gases
Left the lid off and then turned and walked away
Though your memory slipped
It is so,
You can't forget what you did just because shame causes you to be weary
At the far end of a spectrum of wishy washy blabber
You are as clean as bloodied whale blubber
That is smeared on your hands from when you killed them
And when you clubbed baby seals
So what if your wearing a tutu
In the eyes of my god who is in all purposes me
Your clothes don't make you
And besides they were made by someone else
And you are only using them to disguise you
Here in the blank tone of your sweet lie
Others can believe you the saint in this world
But the smell of feces is underneath your skin
And you slither your words and mine as well slither your self
For you may just be a legless scaly lizard
A sickened version of a limbless human being
A sort of demon that needs to be castrated and put in your place
So you can somehow resemble a human.
From poems, to short stories, from rants to reviews, from shit to polish, this is the un-edited thought flowing blog so drink up, and be semi-entertained.

Possible Rough Opening for New Book
What could be said of Adam Lancaster except that he
was an exceptionally unfortunate child.
At the ripe young age of six he would discover something of himself that
would forever change who he was. Before
that however other events transpired and shaped him so that when this ever
changing event did finally occur he was already on route to be one sort of
person. With great confusion this story
will be told. For if no one knows the
impossible, no one can explain it.
Adam
had a certain curiousity that was common among young boys who were often left
up to their own devices. He would
wonder amongst the trees in the woods behind his house and find underneath the
moist logs a world of bugs and salamanders that scurried about to hide themselves
from a spring or summer son. He would
often kneel in for a closer look and once in awhile when his curiousity granted
him enough courage he would reach a hand down and allow the creepy crawling
things that existed their to explore his appendages and make their ways up his
arm. He never once was bitten by these
insect and never once screamed in fear.
When
he wasn’t doing that Adam was in all honesty a rather dull child and only
lightly educated. He had been removed
from his public school environment was was supposed to be partaking of an
education at home that would have been delivered by his mother but that alas
never really happened. Things ideally
had started out towards that route and Adam Lancasters mother had been prepared
to teach him everything she knew, but beyond simple mathematics, and simplistic
sentences, the only thing Adam truly perfected at that time was how to legibly
write his name.
His
mother was called Alice and she was a dutiful sort of mother and loved her
child with everything she could muster.
It was unfortunate then that she met the man named Grant Hawkins who
introduced her to recreational drugs, and segued into a whirlwind of narcotics
until eventually he initially coaxed the lovely Alice into injectin herself
with heroin. The rest as it is said is
history. Those traits that we often
associate with wonderful parents were plentiful in Alice when she was sober,
but she was seldom not sober, and all the time that she was under the influence
of her second more powerful love, she was powerless to be a proper mother.
Adam
looked forward to the times when he would have a chance to be held, hugged,
remined that he was special. When Alice
was clear headed she did just that, and bathed him, and read him stories to get
him to sleep. There was a warmth in
their relationship that would have made everyone take notice, but unfortunately
Grant Hawkins was also a part of this picture too.
It
was around the time of Adams fourth birthday that the man he once called Uncle
Grant was becoming his “new father” as his mother had pointed out. Adam was instructed to refer to him as
daddy, and papa, and Adam happily obliged.
The man had wore his disguise well, slithering his way in to the heart
of the pair. In those times he was a
warm sweet man, honest, genuine, or at the very least he had been exceptionally
well at acting the part. Till one
faithful day the knuckles bruised against the small of Adams back. He had dropped a small scotch glass on the
floor after being instructed to retrieve it with his five year old
fingers. The licquor was drenched and
sitting amongst the liquid of whiskey that soaked into the floorboards. The footsteps were quick and heavy, and the
sound of a the creaking recliner as its occupant left it were a haunting
reminder of when it all started. After
he was struck Adam laid about the floor beside the shattered glass wailing, and
the man Grant Hawkins returned to his chair with a new glass of whiskey, and
remote in hand holding down the volume button, and turning his head to tell the
pained boy that he didn’t hit him hard enough to warrant the outcry. Alice was present and absent as she laid on
the couch with a belt tight upon her arm and her neck cranked back and eyes to
the ceiling as if studying the ceiling fan as it spun and twirled while young
Adam sobbed into the whiskey that seeped towards his face.
