Constant creation is my destiny.

[poets @poets]

Years I waited in the dark
Trying to prove I was enlightened
Secretly hoping for a spark
And when it finally came
Yet not as I expected
Was it not the flickering light
But the darkness I protected

[poets @poets]

Cowardly hellions present
As heroes of the light
Sell out everyone they know
Running from the fight

Frightened to offend
Terrified to speak
Guarding one's own lot
From the starved, the poor, the meek

[poets @poets]

Surrendered to temptation
The pull was just too strong
Now I must suffer in repentance
Never knowing for how long

[poets @poets]

Satan has his hooks in me
Angels fight to set me free
And here I wander obliviously
Worried about what others see

[poets @poets]

Games we never played
Books we never read
Words we never spoke
Kept locked inside our head
Dreams left unpursued
Acts we never tried
Love we never gave
Tears we never cried
Bathed in our regret
And eternal remorse
Yet as long as we have breath
We can change our course

[poets @poets]

Other peoples lives
Far more interesting than mine
Waste a day
Waste away
Scrolling down the line

[poets @poets]

Pills to stay awake
Pills to fall asleep
Pills to tolerate
The company you keep

[poets @poets]

Don't think 🧠
Don't say 👄
Don't go 🏃‍♂️
That way ➡️
Don't argue 🗣️
Don't deny 🤥
Don't you 🫵
Even
Try

[poets @poets]

Standards lowered
Not quite so high
The least among us
Touch the sky
For those who leap
Beyond the stars
To be lost in dreams
And prayers
And bars

[poets @poets]

If you want to live forever
You better get used to the pain

Your body's strong, your mind is clever
Heal your spirit lest your troubles remain

[poets @poets]

Useless knowledge
Pointless tasks
Petty critiques
Meaningless asks
Wasting time
Spinning plates
Watching clocks
Pondering fates
Going nowhere
Weightless space
Spouting off
Saving face

[poets @poets]

How do you rank your enemies?
From least to first
From bad to worst
From nasty to rude
From vile to crude
From sick to perverse
From evil to cursed
The wicked must sort themselves.

[poets @poets]

You sell your faith
for ether
Your morals
lay in dust
You fail to follow
a simple command
To swear in God
you trust

[poets @poets]

BOOM BOOM BOOM
They're in the next room
DOOM DOOM DOOM
They'll be here soon

Whatchya gonna do
When the footsteps come for you?

[poets @poets]

To all the cliché sayings
I have grown immune
Waves of noise drown out our call
In favor of familiar tune

[poets @poets]

What we spoke were only lies
How we behaved unjust
Where we stood was hallowed ground
When all we had was trust

[poets @poets]

So don't get it twisted.
Don't get confused.
Bring forth your righteous indignation
And I will fasten tight your noose.

[poets @poets]

I set the precedent.
I make the laws.
I've got people very close to me
Who will cover any flaws.

[poets @poets]

I'm the President!
I'm the CEO.
I'm the man in charge,
And I'll make sure you always know.

[poets @poets]

Here it comes
Another cloud
Filtering the light
Affecting my mood
Distorting my feeling
Obscuring my insight
Questioning my faith
Doubting my sincerity
Corrupting all I write
