soul management II

you stayed on a balanced diet
of caprice and forfeited rules
devoured books and data
you didn't listen to any fools

in your department of superiority
there is a hard drive full of guilt
stones that you turned were heaped on a mound
but your treasure chest was never found

how you build your ministry of falsehood
is not your private matter anymore
girls you betrayed will sing bad songs
boys you deceived will tell bad jokes

the words will flow the words will grow
the choirs will be preached to and then wail
your world will be filled with someone else's glory
and there will be no prophet to tell you why you fail

you pray for your dominion to grow faster
you believe you are reverend and stout
but when you call yourself a master
there is no Savior to bail you out

iron-y

why burn the bridge? so that no wounded birds could live under it to keep their wounds alive your irony is like sulfur “no” is a burning word takes the iron rod giver to say it right they undo every right and fight for every wrong like that recalled letter of apology drop-dead bird mockingly unsent ungone, unknowing of its power ironic like dried sunflower on a blue chalkboard the art of death reigns in their hearts there is only defiance of dessicated flowers  between acknowledgment of rain  given in the right season and the first hydrating sip of life as it were to be fractions matter, splits of seconds are life ages of stubborn magma buildup can crumble in a blink of an eye, when you see how many grand personas brake down between saying thank you and being grateful always

don't pray for me

when the thieves pray for more loot, who can hear them? in heaven or in hell? let the wind know, let the wind know if you forget your name the wind will still blow your thoughts away when the whores pray for more wages, who can hear them? whose job is it to care? in heaven or in hell? let the clouds know, let the clouds know if you forget your name the rain will wet your hair anyway please, love me not the teddy bears and dolls are all asleep now this factory of dreams is a delusion there is no path through the house of terrors the neon signs were all lying tell me what pay is worth playing a nameless agent a role with so many angry lines in a play called "I wish I were rich" befriended and adored only by the three-headed snake of familiar spirit? [weeping is heard in the clouds but the streets are dry] please, love me not when the hands tired of work and hearts hardened by adversity rise in thanksgiving prayer why is the snake still speak...
