Internet Addiction

Interesting flashing pictures
Networking caught in the fixtures
Teeming with widespread disasters
Entertainment passes
Rocking with the masses
Networking stuck in molasses
Extravagantly casted
Tangled and crafted

Addiction to
Derelict lies that sew
Droppings in the dough
Infesting the cake
Causing you to awake
Tense and confused, late
Investigating gems
On rotted stems
Never really sterile

 

Year's End Lobotomy

Lucidly dreaming
Outside her window
Beckons small birds
Outstretched scalpels
Testing the skin
Oxidixing, breaking bone
Momentarily peaceful
Year's end lobotomy

 

Heavily Medicated

Heavily medicated
Eventually finding a recovery
Vicious downfall discovery
Internally waiting to be discovered
Lasting for an eternity
Yearning for a cure
Meaningless existence
Existence brought to despair
Despair saved by intelligence
Intelligence faded from curiosity
Awakened failed trechery
Trechery leads to excitement
Excitement ending in
Disaster

The Clinic

Sharpen your scalpel
Ready your cotton rags
Forget the formaldehyde
And prepare the anesthetic

Because when night has befallen
And dolls are all asleep
Nurses work is needed
When patient is still waking

Slide through scissor
Sounding doors and shock
Lights on with a lash
Of restraints tight and old
Painted in pink
Patient's bed is prepared
Make haste with the morphine
To slice open the torso
Ring a knife against the ribs

Teasing dentist has the teeth
Cutting cutting at the clean
Morsels sitting in the mouth
Jewels pulled from the jaw
When patient is still waking
Night is necessary
For endless fun

 

Rat's Den

Where do you all go
When all love is lost?
Down the sewer drain
And into rat's den

Eyes dried out
From LCD screens
A heart cut apart
From day after day
Of sugar coated disasters
And soft spun needles
Stabbing right in
Pill bottle labels under fluorescent lights

Down in rat's den
Stumbling through pipes
Dressed all in pink
Purple, blue, green, white

Come pick your poison
Take the eyes from a bunny
And the heart of a dove
Sew yourself back together
With pink string
Cleaning blood with cotton balls
After, your uniform stained with sewage
Through all small corners
The rats will come out
And eat the old parts
That you have discarded
Before climbing back up the drain
Anew

 

The Menhera Case of Jekyll and Hyde

We should get better, says Jekyll
Let's dive deeper, asks Hyde
Eat this, begs Jekyll
Remember this, sneers Hyde
I have control today, demands Jekyll
You have no control, sings Hyde
This is hopeless, sighs Jekyll
Stop improving cries Hyde
