They took his proclamation of enlightenment as a sign of madness and he was treated with derision and imprisoned for his crime.

Café Rédemption
There were never many times where I got it right; just a few short moments and the words always seem to fail on my tongue, or on my fingertips. Today, I sit in a squalid, messy café, crumbling sugar into my tea and sweating out another prayer to a silent and irreconcilable God. … Continue reading Café Rédemption
Praying To The Wrong Sky
I've known the cold. I've held the faded and the empty. I've spent a lifetime getting up off my knees, but is it the whisper of fate? Is this the crucible that tempered me? Sometimes I'm thinking that I have had my head in the clouds; praying to the wrong sky. Sometimes I turn … Continue reading Praying To The Wrong Sky
The Bridge
There is a bridge at the end of the world and none who cross return. Tales are told of the other side, but none who tell them know for sure. There is a part of each of us that stays after we're gone, a piece of dust, the universe allows to linger on. … Continue reading The Bridge
Early Morning Visitation

Run
I've made peace with the end of the world. I've talked with the Man in the Sky. He told me, "Don't worry, I'm coming." so I'm waiting to watch Him walk by. He's coming home, gonna clean His castle by burning that bitch to the floor. When the land's been razed, all those little … Continue reading Run
Strong Foundations
Pop smoke and bug out amidst the confusion. Escape and evade, do whatever it takes to break contact. Go to ground and disappear into the indigenous population. Back tracking is not an option. Besides, there's nothing waiting back there, except the same old enemies. Always an aggressive push forward. Take the next step and … Continue reading Strong Foundations
From Dark Before
I was born when the universe was dark. I was shaped when the Earth was cold. I was born by the mother of the void and the father of singularity. Birthed in silence before the light was spoked in to existence; I witnessed the first dividing line. I am the last of the everything. … Continue reading From Dark Before
Unobtainium
Freedom isn't free. This ought to be common knowledge, for by now everyone must have noticed the rivers of blood are getting knee deep. If freedom must come from the barrel of a gun, then let that gun be a human heart and let that barrel be a beautiful mouth that speaks the truth … Continue reading Unobtainium

Astronauts
When I was young and just begun, I sabotaged my position. I sold the truth and bought a lie, then gave away my alibi. I spoke to God and begged to die. I prayed for chains, then made to fly. I was lost, so high and holy. Deny my love, my one and only. … Continue reading Astronauts

The Punchline
This is just another trick being played on you. You were never meant to know the truth. It’s possible this joke is killing you, but you’re the one that wanted to play, too. The devil always gets his due. You’re begging for someone to let you out. Yet you’ve got the key in your … Continue reading The Punchline

Saving The World and Me First
Knowing what is right and doing what is right; I don’t think the two ideas could be more different. Sure, I know you’re drowning, but saving you is another matter altogether. It requires me being involved. It requires me being accountable for the outcome. It requires me to relinquish my seat as the … Continue reading Saving The World and Me First
That’s Gratitude For Ya!
I am rising, above the garbage, above the flesh; uncompromising. Got to write it out, sing it out, scream it out. Let it get the best of me? No - I don't think so. For crying out loud, it's you who set it up this way, made every facet of the game and bitch … Continue reading That’s Gratitude For Ya!
You can go wherever you want in life, but The Devil never changes his address.
Ocean of Reflection
Derivative, a little piece of everything is what we are. Somehow we live with our eyes turned inside so far. We don't see past you or me, can't reconcile this separation, together we might become something more; all cowering in what has gone before. Fear of pain and abandonment, we cling to the words, … Continue reading Ocean of Reflection
