Slipping

Slipping

 By Kaoss


The mask is slipping. Soon for all to see.
Lack of hope, emptiness and misery.
Strength depleted, but the fight continues.
Beaten, battered, near broken. Fear ensues.
No sign of winning or losing. Stalemate.
Loss of purpose, direction. Plain as day.
What will the reaction be.
Fear, loathing, apathy?
Only time will tell,
on the day  when the hand that holds the mask fell.

Solution

Solution

 By Kaoss


Withering from the onslaught of the world,
One turn within for solace.
Building walls to keep the insanity out,
forgetting the damage and insanity within.

Madness ensues, and within replicates without.
The soul withers slowly, only to die.
Balance is the key, though few find it,
And less seek it.

Open your eyes, your mind and soul.
Live, not hide. Breathe no matter
Allow the pain and madness to pass through.
Holding on to only what is needed and dear.

Corporatocracy

Corporatocracy
  By Kaoss

Through every hoop
Obedience blind
At every turn
Roadblocks thrown up
Enough to cause loss of mind.

Holding it in
Taking the lumps
Compliance complete
More walls put in place
Limbs worn to stumps.

What is the purpose
Why such a hate
No reward to the faithful,
Just abuse and malaise.
Service treated as second rate.

Locked in a loop,
No chance to escape.
Continuing to take it,
Smile on the face
Refusing to break.

The Defeated's Lament

The Defeated Lament

By Kaoss



Damnation imprisoned
For crimes of bad judgement.
Following a leader who could never win.
Trapped humiliated, doomed to repeat.
Over and over branded sin

There's no place
Also no chance  all Hope is erased.
Just this eternal dance.
Forever in a meat suit.
Doomed to watch and replay.

The promised glory dashed
Now the gloom of day to day
An endless parade
Monkeys dressed and praised
Creations big unfunny joke.

Pride gone, just a foul stench.
Of the great project
The creator's pets
But what of Our greatness
We were the first.

The cream of creation
Favored for eons
until the meat sacks arrived
Not a thing of glory.
Just dirt rearranged.

We warred for favor
Recognition, Pride and Place.
Were we not the first
Only to be cast aside
Now cast down, walking amongst
The monkeys unknown,  our Hell on Earth!

Gone

Gone

By Kaoss


Just how much
Can one take
Until they've had enough
And crack fold and break.

Who's to say
Where's the point
Once crossed
All is naught.

Walk a mile
Fake a smile
Never let it slip
The mind is lost.

Out of time
And lost in space
Darkness rules
Commonplace

What's done is done
A battle lost
Wars not over
Still climbs the cost.

Pain and fear
Spins the wheel of life
Forever dancing
On the edge of a knife.

Kill quickly
Or draw it long
Matters not
The soul is gone.

Holding out
And holding on
But for what
The purpose is gone

Gone gone
Lost for all time
Not even the Keeper
Can retrieve this mind.

Weep not
For it's a waste
Pray for reprieve
And never to taste.

Isolation

Isolation

By Kaoss


Trapped inside oneself
Not knowing how or why
Just accepting circumstance
Like a bird that's forgotten how to fly.

Limitations chain
Freezing thought and deed.
No action but inaction
Until the mind is freed.

Contemplation lacking
Caught in a web of lies
Letting hate and fear fed
Slowly the soul dies.

No wall, no real chains
Just self defeat and pity
Confining the good self
In an illusory city.

   * Isolation
     Degradation
     Self destruction
     Little hope unless one realizes
     The key to escape lies within them.
     Unlock the door
     Set themselves free.

Trepidation of whats to come
Preferring darkness, hollow calm
Outside is a maelstrom
For which there is no balm.

Merry-Go-Round forever spinning
No release no slowing
Fear, self hatred, resentment
Unchained and quickly growing.

Beaten and battered by oneself
Near to the point of surrender
Self pity takes control
Shields the self from eternal splendor.


Break the chains
Unseal the inner door
Set yourself free
Life hold so much more.

       * Isolation
     Degradation
     Self destruction
     Little hope unless one realizes
     The key to escape lies within them.
     Unlock the door
     Set themselves free.

Aimless

Aimless

By Kaoss


No focus
Very little drive
It's a wonder
How they survive

Little time
Fewer cares
Nothing happens
they're not there

Not a clue
What life's about
Oh so lazy
Whisper? No shout!

Sheep asleep
No will, no spine
Ooo shiny
Another glass of wine

At life the pretend
Fooling themselves
Not a thought
Or a wit amongst
Yet they continue
Blind and aimless
A sad caricature
Of potential lost
Pointless and wasted
They clammer on.

No hope
Help long gone
Shattered yet here
Hey get off the lawn

Non compos mentis
Left alone
wandering the countryside
Empty No home

Up on the Hill
No truth Just lies
the sheep they swallow
Until they die

Leaking faucet
Thoughts drip from the brain
No one to weep for    
A nation insane
