It’s open space.

I keep hearing words
no mouths around
nothing left to sew shut
no doors to open
no doors to close
it’s open space
standing outside
the words keep on speaking
no lips to come from
they’re just there
are the birds talking
no I don’t think so
are the words my own
a needle in one hand
the other against my lips
I feel the stitches
not a single missing
no words to slip
no words to escape
where are they now
I feel it
I hear it
I know it
I can’t stop thinking it
all the fears
I’ve never lived
but I fear it
I think it
I want it all gone
all the hate
I can feel it
heavily it rains
are the clouds slipping their secrets
it isn’t all the secretive is it
we all know
we all feel it
we all over think it
the moment our eyes open
what are we thinking
our brains filled of those around us
their words creating us
shaping our hearts
feeding us with their pain
shoveling it down throats
forcing us to relive it
to think it
to hear it
fear and hate
it intertwines
and regardless of the past
the enemy is whom
separates by appearance
rather then the inner most heart.

Wealth isn’t going to fix it.

Everyone is destroying the planet
wealth is not heroic
wealth isn’t going to fix it.

The more money
the more travel
the faster the car
the bigger the house
the bigger the wardrobe
the fancier the food.

Look down upon those
with less wealth
clothing a family of four
for the amount
you pay on one dress
mocking those with holes
in their clothes
and worn down soles
on their feet
those that create less waste
re-use
why are they so beneath you?

It doesn’t equate
the work you put in
to what you make
it doesn’t correlate.

Toxic emissions
as a rocket hits space
slums are the ones
that would penetrate our atmosphere
to come down in tears
for an experience
that wasn’t a necessity.

You’re not wonderful
you’re not perfect
you’re not to be envied
you’re not to be feared
you are to be stripped of your wealth
so the Earth
can keep living
and all of us
can have a home.

Drawing collage-like art and a pumpkin head.

I’m trying to work on my drawing skill in which I’m often frustrated with the end result. Therefore I often turn to taking pencil to paper and not over thinking it. Drawing without a purpose to ease my frustrations. I’ve been working in grids recently. Gridding off the paper and drawing designs in each box. The first image on this page I chose to not do a grid. I simply drew a pumpkin and then everything else I drew without purpose and slowly it came together in it’s own way.

Points accumulated.

There is nothing to win
the rich they still get sick
their bodies age
skin wrinkles
there is nothing to win.

Wealth is fictional
deposited within accounts
before it was paper
and now it’s digital
a few clicks
money is there
a few clicks
money is gone
it wins nothing.

Depression isn’t defeated
by wealth
it isn’t brought to a stop
our brains can’t be bought
we try
we try to manipulate
we try to
although money is nothing
a few clicks it’s there
a few clicks it’s gone
the game
feels won.

Rich
poor
in between
we all hit death
the credits roll
points accumulated
and wealth is what now?

Waiting to collect the thoughts.

Eyes gazed up
mouth opened
tongue out
waiting to collect the thoughts
as if the answers
will slip within me
finding their way in
as if my brain
could comprehend
all of it.

Even if the rain drops
held the answers
would my brain
be able to decipher
before the acid
ate the thoughts away?

Can we comprehend
what happens after death
is it a possibility
that we can accept
that our existence
is a spontaneous coincidence
and when humans are gone
life will spark intelligence
in another form?

Colorful creature art.

I enjoy drawing to calm my mind and allow myself not to overthink and stress about everything. I can be a real uptight person, it’s hard for me to relax and not worry. I often just draw and whatever happens happens. The images below are six drawings I’ve made recently. I call it art to be honest I don’t really know what makes something art. It’s just a word open for interpretation.

Consumerism.

Consumerism,
lets all buy it
all of it
every bit of it!

They’ll make more
raise the prices
to hit the demand.

Shout at us
that our debt
is our poor management.

The system has no faults
besides the consumer
never the producer
they only provide us
what we want.

They inform us
of our needs
and strip our brains of reason
till we can no longer
differentiate a need
from a want.

When we have nothing left
they hand us a card
tripling the costs
till we have nothing
so they can have their wants
that are just as
worthless as our own.

The screen fills.

A knife to start a line
a place to tare the skin
to allow the thoughts to free
because the bulkiness
makes thinking stiff
and difficult to think it all out.

A hand per each side
pulling the skin
the thoughts
become little creatures
slicking their legs about
scurrying to get out
pulling the part wider
wider more.

They make their way
pushing the fingers to type
faster, fiercer they jump
harder they make you work
the thoughts they’re quick
they slip they die
a new one takes its place
again it repeats
till the screen fills
another critter creeps
delete delete delete.
You stitch the top of your head
till it’s time to try again.

Have you ever looked up?

It is a safety
living in homes
inhaling the air
stuffy and filled of artificial life.

The trees are falling
a branch misses me
and I think
something above
must be thanked.

Have you ever looked up?

The clouds are changing
smiling, some are
grinning a hateful glare, others are.

They may not feel
but even they know
it’s endless darkness
vastness that never ends
if there was a power
protecting us
wouldn’t they just be
another lifeform
more advanced?

Yes although
wouldn’t they be bounded
to the facts of science
rather than some never ending being?

Are we just an entertainment
a simulation
to determine
the best emotions to place
within each body
to determine how much
usage of a brain
shall be used
are we just their experiment?

A determination
of how to do better next time?

Thanks for reading.
