“Feed Me Your Children…”

“Yup, it’s fantastic right?”

“You’re not really helping the image a lot of people have about you”

“Well, I’ve already changed my writing style dramatically for them”

“Not enough apparently”

“Then fuck them”

“Not before your career gets fucked”

“I’d rather fail keeping true to my style than succeed as a different writer”

“Freak”

“Love you too”



-One-
Feed Me Your Children



When we were young
Do you remember when we would take a car ride?
Without any particular place in mind
Momma and Papa knew how much we loved it


You were six and I was five.
Only I could convince our parents to go somewhere
Trying to compromise with me into going nowhere
How wise I was at that age.

Wife, remember when we were in a brighter time?
The children loved the toys and fast food joints
We would have bought them cigars if it were legal
Oh, what brighter times those were. So simple then


Husband, I’d rather not remember those days
Our society was so blind back then
Not that it’s not still blind and shameful today!
Those cartoons and adverts might as well have said:
“Feed me your children, we have bills to pay.
Come here, boys and girls, and love liberty.
Be white and blonde with blue eyes all your life
If not you’re as scary and shameful as a bloody knife!”


When I was young I did something worth disgrace
I studied the society I belonged to day and night
Men, women, and children were under the spell
The work got me money to eat at the best restaurants

I remember my bosses drinking in the good life
The society so silly to what they used to say
So up front about brain washing the world for pay
Yet unlike now they didn’t do it so quietly

I remember us gathered around the meeting table
Collecting our money, almost wanting to sing
“Feed me your children, we have bills to pay
Feed me your children. It’ll be a glorious day
With the youth under our control without question
Such a wonderful high contrast colorful world”

A child smiles with a happy washed brain.
She wants to buy her first packet of cigarettes
She’ll grow up with this verse in her mind
Not knowing what is guiding her in life…

“Feed me your children
They’ll be strong soldiers one day
Feed me your children
They’ll pay for our private islands
Feed me your children, please
We have bills to pay…
Feed me your children
Feed us your freshly born fools
Feed me your children, please…”


The poet isn’t such a liar
Unlike them in their greed
I will sing directly to my seed
Feed Me Your Children
Give me your youth
Allow me to eat their minds!
Feed me your children, please


-Two-
Music, It Killed the Poetry Star
(An Outdated Parody)



I heard the musician calling her work poetry
The last poet to publish anything was in 1970
If the people were smarter it would have been me

“Did you know that?”


The singers took credit for inventing rhymes
Rappers remade the definition in these times
Now I have figured out the industry’s crimes


“Did you hear them?”
I told the media
“Did you know that?”
Nobody believed it


Music, it killed the poetry star
Music left the bard to starve
Tunes came to drink your ink
“And nobody knew”


Tonight we meet in an abandoned library
We read the texts that will be lost to history
You remember the crowds you used to see


“Did you read it?
You were the black one
“Did you hear her?”
You were the ending one
Because of the music


Music, it killed the poetry star
Music just left the bard to fall
In the libraries and in the shops
Music ruined the poet’s crops

“Did you know?”
“Tunes cost less”

Music, it killed the innocent star
Music, you killed the poetry star.

In the cafes and in the youths
The music fans were in groups
Beats came up to break your pen
You can blame the industry…

That poor poetry star
Poor bard left to starve

You poor poetry star
You were once a star
Music, it killed the poetry star
The beats left the bard to starve
Music, you crippled poetry stars
Music, it killed the poetry star
Music, you killed the poetry star. That poor poetry star.





-Three-
My Good Priest



“Mother , I don’t want to disgrace you”
“Then come with me to the church”
“But it will only leave me blue”
“Try having your soul saved”


My good priest is going to guide my soul
My good priest, will you guide my soul?
Place my mind under the right morality
Place my hands under the lord’s morality

“Son, tell me what you want
And I’ll tell what you like.
You must not spill your seeds
Follow the good lord
That is what he pleads”


I want to try for God
But the pressure is too much for me
I took my manly father’s gun
And then my brains all flew


“Next child! Tell me what you like
I’ll tell you what to like instead”

My priest, I will not pray for you
“Repel all those evil demons”
My gays, rescue me!

My good priest will show me what to like
My good priest will tell me what to do with this
Put my body into pure purity
Place my mind under your purity…

Christianity, winds, and peace…
Love and brotherhood…
Think of that…
As we run…
Gurl, just run!!!

Stop them!
Stop him!
Those homosexuals have no Christ!
They’ll burn in hell for all eternity
And build fires in our Christian hearts!
They’re unholy desires make our world weak!
Stop him!
Stop them!


Child, I beg you to tell me
Tell me what you like,
I’ll tell you what to think
My God, will you control my penis?

My God, my good priest!
Please stop attacking me

My gays, my God, why you?
My heart, control my big cock!
My Good Priest, save my soul!


-Four-
We’ll Find A Cure



“Undo the gays. Take several days
We’ll find a cure. We’ll find ways”


The Christians attacked
The Catholics joined
A red neck fantasia ensued

The children ran off their streets
The elders said goodbye to everything
The gays suddenly disappeared
The basements filled

Soaking with tears
The pillows were packed away
The roads were all crossed
The basements emptied

The children yelled
The women begged
And the men roared
“Not them!”
The homos shrieked
The teens all growled
“Not us”

Find them that damn cure
Or make them die for sure
We’ll find a cure. Of that we’re sure.
Find a cure. We’ll find a cure.

Underground I whispered to somebody
“Make this promise to me
Take off your pants
Touch my lips
We’re both boys
You love me so
Close your eyes
And realize…”

The children ran away from them
The elders said goodbye to their world
The Christians attacked the city
They attacked hard

Rest assured… we fought back.
Fist to Fist
Weapons massed

Find them the cure.
“No, we’re gay to the end”
We’ll find a cure
“No, we’re gay till death”

We’ll find them a cure
We could have cured them
But we’re all gay to the end.


-Five-
Get Me Naked



Bang your head against me
Slap my ass into redness
Bang me against a wall
Metaphorically

Another book is about to go out
And the world will soon see
My heart exposed to them
I feel naked and exposed

I have the sex that people want
And I have the innocence they prefer
I have the everything and the it
That makes boys want to lick

So, get me naked. Please see what I have
I want to be naked for the eyes of all
Get me naked for your entertainment
Another verse exposes another bit of flesh

Peach and supple just for the people
My ass bare and I love their hands on me
Get me naked I want to be seen
Through and through

I have what the boys want
I have what the public craves
So, explore my body
Thrash me on the floor
And explore with delight.

Oh, the people are demons
Clinging to me
Because I put my skin out for them
And do not bother to shoo them away

Look into these eyes that see all
Look into my soul
Look into my eyes and realize
That there is no other instinct
But to get naked for the public

Learn to love my flesh
Learn to love the texture of me
Shivering to your touch
Look into my soul and my insides

Rip my clothes off
Pull me by my hair
And drag me out to the streets
And I shall strut with gusto

So, get me naked for the people
Take in another angst filled verse
And enjoy the nakedness
The raw way in which I reach out


-Six-
I Want To Be Beautiful



There’s only so much one person should eat...
The darker I am... the filthier my soul

I want to be beautiful
I want to be as thin as light
I’m not upset with myself
But I don’t want to be upset
By people’s thoughts

Looking in the mirror
I feel so much older
What if I am never married?
What’ll happen if I have rolls?

I want to be beautiful
I want to be blonde
And with white buck teeth
I want a figure of feeble size
Just simple beauty

I learned the morals from my youth
My brothers would tell me
“The only women of beauty
Are with big jugs
And long legs of sin”
But that will be the end of all man
Our society shouldn’t fall at the hands
Of a beautiful woman
The way Cleo betrayed Egypt
Praise the snake that bit the bitch!

They just want to be beautiful
They want to be so tall
With hair of platinum blonde
And skin bleached like clothing
They deserve their beauty
Look in the mirror
And see the beauty you are

The longer you long for what you lack
You more you waste your current wealth

You fight and you struggle for too much
Who is anyone to tell you what you should look like?
You are beautiful on your own
You’re brilliant as you are
You’re fabulous as you are

I want just want true beauty
You are beautiful
Look in a mirror, and appreciate it
“I want true beauty”
Then look in a pond, and look at that beautiful being.




-Seven-
A Little Fatter


Mother, forgive me for I mean to mortify you

See that woman smoothing creams into her face?
That lady on whom time left a noticeable trace
The five foot woman on the shorter side
It’s her eyes that tell she knows her beauty inside

Had you been lucky to see her twenty six short years ago
You would know why she doesn’t mind under eye shadow
She had a figure that one really has to see
But it is in her eyes that she knows her beauty


Her skin has been weathered, and a little weaker
The years have made her a good deal wiser
Don’t tell her that she seems a little shorter
And the years have proved to make her a little fatter
But she knows the beauty still inside her



-Eight-
Have You Ever Tried To Kill Somebody?



Have you ever tried to kill somebody?
I have.
Have you ever heard your heart quicken?
I have.

Have you ever had somebody tell you
“Now it seems I hope you had rather died”
The love that wraps you is sweet and true
How nice to know that you bring no pride

Have you ever tried to kill somebody?
I have.
Was that somebody there ever yourself?
I was.

Did you ever swallow a bottle of pills
Hoping that you would encourage mother?
Well, after she said I should have been still
I knew that I wanted to commit a murder

Have you ever had death come to thrill you
With “I should have you aborted you”?
Oh, how the feeling makes you want to live
Because there is so much you didn’t give

Have you ever tried to kill somebody close?
I have.
Have you ever tried to murder an innocent soul?
I have.


Have you ever taken too many strange pills?
Have you ever drunk in hopes of death?
Well, the hopes of killing somebody
And the need to commit a murder
Felt by more than just me
Was felt all for myself





-Nine-
For The Pleasure



“Play me some violins for my departure”

The ink has stopped spurting
I can see clearly now that it’s not so dark
And now I can see what life is like
And I can tell that I am in the sky
Will I be a star?
Why don’t you tell me?


Come here and tell me about wonderful love
Come here and tell me your childhood dreams
Give me your hand and let me ask you…
Would you feed me your new born child?
For the pleasure of giving it away to me
Twist the neck of a harmless animal for me
For the pleasure of saying that you did it


Air it on the television
And expose the children to it
Write it in a book
And distribute it wide
For the pleasure of it
Without the need for a message


Could you bathe in goat’s blood?
Or maybe have sex with a priest?
Could you kiss my lips
After you cum in my mouth?
Or could you climb a tall mountain
Without emotion or political voice
And jump off of its rocky peak?


Could you do it for the pleasure?
For the pleasure do this for me
Ride down a river of blood
And bite a newborn infant
Surprise won’t last long
And society will change
Soon you will not be shocking


I can finally see that anything can be done
For the pleasure of it
And soon society
Will expand for me
For the pleasure
