PROLOGUE
From The Predator’s Totally Inevitable Tragedies by German Alcala:



I gaze out at what once was
It’s time to light up the ruins
There’s nothing left in this land for me
The empire has collapsed under brutality

Now I hold the match, I must strike a flame
The jig is up; an end has come to this cruel game
The ruins must be burned away and vanish
The memories of abandonment must tarnish

Am I strong enough to rise from the ashes?
Will I suffocate and die in the black smoke?
In the next book I will be what I will be
Being what people wished led to catastrophe

As the night comes I whisper my last prayer
I drop the match and the fire blows so far
I give myself no other options
Than to rebuild after I light up the ruins



DRAG QUEEN



1
DARK CIRCLES



Never have I seen anything so clear and promising
As the landscape rolling before my eyes at this moment
Now I see that there is a force I must stop resisting
The readiness to rebuild is becoming more potent
The ashes of what used to be play in the dry wind
And I see a beautiful vision that looks so kind

Dark circles made of ash dance in the air around me
I begin to dance in the beautiful storm and I smile
Why is it that I laugh when there is no light to see?
Why do I dance when I will soon face a testing trial?
There is something exciting and humbling in darkness
From this darkness I will soon find a new grand happiness

In my heart I am feeling the new life. I feel paralyzing
In my mind I am prepared to rebuild. Nothing now stops me
I can feel that soon I will be on top and I’ll be blazing
I can feel that soon I will be revered and I’ll be free
So, why not dance with the swirls of ash so black and dry?
I would rather dance now then continue to hopelessly cry

Dark circles cover me from head to toe!
Dark circles decorate the dead landscape!
Dark circles are flying so high, like my hero!
Dark circles lead me to a grand escape!
Dark circles wrap around me and we fly!
Dark circles! A dance I always wanted to try!


All the ashes mold and form into black angels in the air
They reach out and take my hands and we run
Dark circles cover my eyes and dance through my hair
Dark figures lead me through the darkness to the sun
And in the end of the darkness I see a shining light!
It’s a mirror; it reflects me, a shining light so bright

Dark circles dance around me in celebration of a new birth
They fly high and fall down to create a wind so strong
My face is covered with colors from the burned earth
I do not look like a man. I look like a creature of wrong
I smile and I realize that this is my new territory
Dark circles form a new black castle free of any tragedy!


Dark ashes line the air and the skies!
Dark circles swirl through the land!
Dark circles vibrate with my joyful cries!
Dark circles run along my porcelain hand!
Dark circles shine new light into my life!
Dark circles bring new beauty to my eye…

DRAG QUEEN

There’s a Drag Queen in the dark!
“S.O.S”
“S.O. Fucking S”

“S.O.S he’s in disguise”
“S.O.S it’s in disguise”
“There’s a boy dressed as a girl”
“He’s out now, and he’s on your streets”
“Keep the innocent away”
“There’s a Drag Queen out now”

A quiet and obedient boy you crave
A soccer playing brat you would save
My senses are dulled and my ego died
I want to dance, so I’m out for tonight

I’ve been trying desperately to be a boy
However, I won’t be your weak clay toy
I won’t be a child for long
I want to be a queen so strong

Boredom has rotted my brain
So, before I finally become insane
I’m busting your mold and leaving
With all my intentions set on glowing

There’s a drag queen there among you
Look around and watch her walk
Oh wurk!
There’s a drag queen there with you
Hair so high and face white as chalk


Walking along the dark night causing heterosexuals fright
Eyes shining fierce and bright; the queen has taken flight
Lip singing and dancing despite everybody being imprudent
The makeup and hair is fierce beyond need of improvement


Snuck into the gay club I can feel the fire in my gay-dar
To put it out the shirtless bartender drenches me in vodka
I’m not on the hunt for a boy queen just as fierce as me
I really want a strong, loving, and intelligent boy king


There’s a drag queen in the streets
Be careful around her dancing wig
Oh fierce!
There’s a drag queen in the streets
She is walking on a heel made of twig

“S.O.S he’s in disguise”
“S.O.S it’s in disguise”
“There’s a he dressed a she”
“Hide the children from its beauty”

Feed me a bottle of God’s glitter
What a fucking sin! Gurl, wurk!

“S.O.S the boy’s insane”
“S.O.S he has blue eyes”
“That dress just doesn’t go…”
“With those shoes! Oh girl, no!”

There’s a drag queen there, you fool
Don’t suffocate her with your peasant ways
My Drag Queen, strut your struts
My Drag Queens, bend your wrists

There’s a drag queen in your bathroom
Let her out so she can strut

THE BEAT OF MY PUMPS



I wore my first dress when I was five
My mother was asleep, I felt so alive
Looking back I was pretty wonderful
Looking back the dress was beautiful
Now fourteen, back in the soft fabric
I can wear it and move to the music

My parents shake their heads in shame
They tell me to stop inventing a new name
I wish I could, but it’s too much fun
I’m more filled with life than the raging sun
There’s nothing left to do, I’ve gone so gay
I don’t care like my parents for what people say

The beat of my pumps; like the beat of my heart
Dancing so fast my veins could sizzle and fall apart
The beat of my pumps challenge the music’s tempo
I move in fine balance with a blasting album in inferno
The beat of pumps smash upon the ground
With what my parents find to be a mortifying sound

Pulled out of the dress. Spent several days as a boy
I decided it was time to crank out my favorite toy
I have new ideas in mind, and my parents yell
I put on the heels, tried running, but I soon fell
Got in trouble, got grounded, privileges were gone
But before you know it I have my pumps in a run

The beat of my pumps resonate through the home
My parents hope it is the sounds of my new clone
The beat of my pumps is unique, mine, and original
With a sickening artistry that is simply unforgivable
The beat of pumps is smoothly balanced with sound
I work my feet right through every inch of the ground

My parents fear I’ll be ridiculed and laughed at
They seem to not understand my own testament
I could not care less for what people have spat
I drink in the ridicule and continue so prevalent

My parents fear that they won’t be able to fix it
But they seem to have forgotten my new name
A name that has nothing wrong and nothing to hit
Hermana Alacran, the new name in a fierce game

The beat of my pumps resonate through my soul
Move through my body with an undying force
The beat of my pumps beat into a dancing role
I dance with my feet celebrating and my fierce force
The beat of my pumps work so swiftly to intoxicate
There is a new beat that they seductively create

TAKE BACK MY BODY



I’ve lost faith in everything I do, because you do
Every step I walk towards hopes of success for me
You condemn it; say that it will lead to undo me
I feel like I’ve spoiled you with always doing well
I don’t exist and I don’t fight solely to please you


I applaud you for holding me, I thank you
But I will take my body back from your grudge
I will take my body I won’t be a doll anymore
Take back the body from your hold of control
My body back in my control I’ll be the only judge

I love you, but before you ruin that last emotion
Give me back my control, and forget you own me
I love you, but before I die in a sad desperate hold
I’ll take back my body and forget you owned it
You never owned me, but you tried, and I’m dieing

Take back my body, it’s my own flesh, part yours
This is my brain, and this is my life, not ours
I’ll take my body, back in my control I thank you
You helped me live this long, but I know what I want
You shake your head in shame, but this is my life

I birthed a boy, not a girl!
I will not accept something that is not chivalry!
You are a boy, not a girl!
I accept you being gay!
Not this ridiculous clownery!

Why is everything inside our home a battle?
We are Hitler and Stalin fighting for control
We are God and Satan fighting over a human
I won’t play along with this struggle for control
This is my life and my body, not a jewelry box!

I’ll take my body, because it is mine. Only mine
I’ll take my body, and continue to love you
You still control so much around me and life
But you won’t control every cell in my body
I can no longer trust you to keep safe my mind

If you no longer listen to understand me
I have too many monsters attacking me
For me to struggle hopelessly to help you see

HOMO-SAPIEN



New boy in my city,
Who I think if so much
Do people ask you if you’re gay?
Because you walk with a slight bounce
Your swooped black hair is never astray
And everybody thinks you’re cute

You are never teased on for it
But you never call the girls back

My dearest boy,
Oh please be homosexual for me
I have done it before
So, will you please hold me into the night?
Because I wondered
What your thoughts… of me were
I think and might cry now if it is
That you are only Homo-Sapien


You might a bisexual
Or you might be bi-curios
Or perhaps it’s only…
That you’re so modern
You are not conforming
To what anybody cool says

I detect this and pray for love
You have one of those auras
A beautiful smile that makes me warm
You have a certain prowess
It simply melts my heart of ice
Like laying on a beach of doubt

I wish you would hold my hand
And blush as you sit closer to me
I look into your eyes and see warmth
Tell me, bright eyed boy, which you are
I want and die
To look at your pornography stash
I think and fear
You might be only Homo-Sapien

A homo?
A Sapien
A homo
A sapien!
Homo-Sapien
HE’S NOT!
Homo-sapiens act differently
He is homosexual, I know it
He is for me…
Such a cutie will already be taken
Or not interested in a queen bitch

You are sweet, but so quiet
Is it because you’re a homo?
I would die if you said no
Or is it a Homo-Sapien?
I would soon die if you said yes

I must be terribly wrong
Your manners are so
Well-Meaning
My homo-sapien boy
Sometimes you speak
With a slight squeak

Never bearing bracelets
You are not so modern
You’re a homo, yeah?
A classic case

Be Homosexual

Would you tell me if I confessed
That I wondered
What you think… of me?
I think
You are only a Homo-Sapien

I thought
Of asking you up front
I fear that…
You would say “Homo-Sapien”

You know exactly who Cher is
Is it because you are Homosexual?
Or are you merely Homo-Sapien?
Please tell me something that will cure
My dying passion for you
Tell me something that can give me hope

I’M THE RICHEST WOMAN



You should know
I’m the richest woman!
I’ll tell you now
With more than you!
Do you hear me?
I’m the richest lady!
Pay attention


Wanting money
Wanting something
Anything other than poverty
You see I’m terribly poor


I fell in love with being at the bottom
Poorer than a church mouse
I could easily end up in a hovel
Yet I won’t cry over a ripped blouse

You see I have no money to worry about
No finances to keep me up in terrible doubt
You see one day I’ll be richer than God
And my name will rise higher than Heaven
I have a soul that no money could afford
I have the face that no surgeon could create

I want the world to know
I’m the richest woman you’ll know in life
You hear me, world?
I have no money to buy the shiniest knife
I tell the world
I’m the richest woman, because I’m so fly
It’s all due to
I have the soul that no money could buy

I’m a goddess of spirit and the queen here
I’m such a cute and trusting little dear
You can trust that I’ll never lose my mind
And to my poverty I’ll always be so blind


My parents can barely afford the rent
A family of four in a one bedroom apartment
You see I’m the brightest diamond in this
A rough that I have turned into my bliss

I do not have the finest clothes
But I have the finest nose
Leather of the finest, never

My skin is the finest endeavor
A size for which any boy would kill
Would you believe? That I’m rolling in gold
A heart of gold and life

The world should know in its heart
I’m the richest woman in this world!
The world will know beyond a doubt
I’m the richest woman, and wisest being!
The world will see in shining light
I’m the richest lady to walk the streets
Despite the fact so small and lame
I have no Jimmy Choo stuff on my feet

The world will love in their hearts
I’m the richest woman you’ll ever know
The world will know through and through
I’m the richest thing that’s living now
Let the world love me
I’m the richest woman
I happen to be the richest woman

Do you understand?
I’m the richest darling
The finest person
With the upmost caring
That’s why I care
For the world to know
I’m the richest woman!

THERE IS NO LOVE



There is no love, not anymore
I have lost love, but not anymore
There is no passion, not here
There is no passion to find here

There is no happiness around
There is only sadness around
There is no love left in me now
There is no life left in me now

There is no need for love in this vast place
No love can enter this sadly ruined place
Walk away from me for I have no need for it
Take your love somewhere else and use it

There’s nothing to be found in this heart of mine
There is only a rock of coal in this heart of mine
Don’t waste your time here, there is nothing here
Don’t approach me with open arms, my naïve dear

There is no love left in me
There is no joy left in me
Don’t look for happiness
A myth is now happiness

There is no clear water left
There is no admiration left
There is no need for love
There is no wanting of love

I want to be where people forget of love
I want to be where innocents can never die
There is no need for love in this cold world
There is no need for happiness in this world

I grow weary of this world of hypocrisy
I grow weary of needing warmth or love
It is science that as humans we need love
But see I’ve learned, I have no need for love

Destroy away a world in which I can pray
Every night I used to pray with my eyes closed
And every person for whom I prayed
Turned their backs sooner or later
I’m glad I never prayed for them to stay
I thought that saying they loved me assured that

If I lose my mind forgive me for everything
If I die young forgive God and erase me from everything
You see I’ve lost my hope in humanity
There is no love left in all of humanity
You see I have come to understand
That love is not needed to understand
I have found that there is nothing
I have understood that I am nothing

I am not a person, not anymore
I am nothing; that is what I am
I am not in need of love, not me
In my black heart there is no love
