P985 Hermit Crab

Who am I you ask...

I'm a hermit crab

A very boring being 

I lead, a life quite drab

A stern and silent fellow 

Whose life's very still 

I'm all about this shell

That's not even mine

Without it I'm frail 

And the mollusc doesn't mind

My exoskeleton is rather weak

I'm a softie creep

Nature tinkers,  not good designs make

I'm brittle, extremely easy to break 

That's why I have to steal

Now you know why

There isn't any other way

I can't even cry

Oh you're still here

You rather like my oyster 

The world isn't enough I see

Are you a shell collector?

You want it all, even my roof?

Just a souvenir to remember the land

Keep it lying gathering dust

While I die, scorched by the sand

Well you disgust me human

I'm considering a pinch 

Run away before I decide 

Crustaceans don't flinch

P979 Oddly sinister

It's oddly sinister 

A lifeform with piercing eyes

I don't much like the sound of it

Or its awful advice 

But I'm stuck 

I don't know what it is

Or what I need to do

It's a dark lonely critter 

That's holding me like a glue

It tells me

"You can't escape

When your friends have fangs

Your people more poisonous 

Than deadly mercenary gangs

The well wishers don't wish you well

They wear all sorts of mask

Masks are cheap they look real

What more can you ask

Dishonest people make you look

Worse than them, because you're right 

They sling all the mud they have

You're not equipped to fight 

The world will, based on composition 

Go to hell and plenty worse

Or there won't be one when they are done

Nothing to reverse

So you should end your life

Your honest to a fault 

There's no place for faulty parts 

I know where it hurts

I prefer you become a poltergeist

Frequent the living frequently

Scare the shit out of their christ

Scar them horribly

Strangle turds through their throats

Listen to their screams, aches and croaks

Strangle them but keep them alive 

Rinse, repeat and thrive"

P978 Vlad the impaler

P977 I drink tea

I'm confused 

I lost my focus

Motives diffused 

I can't  think straight 

I need a break 

A blend of tea infused 

I like tea 

It makes me whole

Without it, you see 

I'm quite a morbid soul

My thoughts are fretful

My edges get sharp

I lose the sweet nerves 

I become a bitter harp

When strangeness mix

And sanity departs

I need a cup of tea

To put back the parts

I might say I've tea in my veins 

Not blood like ordinary folks

My thoughts aren't bound by chains 

I don't believe in rustic hoax

P976

P975 The reaper was grim

The reaper was grim

I had called him

I was tired of my soul in a way

I asked him to take it away

He said he wasn't so sure

There wasn't any place

A bug in the upgrade core

The beta was utter disgrace 

So he sat down we held hands

Two sweet souls terrified 

How tech had changed the lands

Very sad we both sighed 

He drank a cup of tea

The special Darjeeling 

He said he had to rush to the sea

That was the next thing 

The man I could tell 

Knew a lot

Although he looked rather pale

His wit was quite on the spot

For instance he wasn't in a hurry 

Explained without dumbing down

He was fond of spicy curry

Saw a red stain on his gown

I thought it looked like blood 

He said it was the curry 

Made from dead cow cud

Human brains in a slurry 

He was into raw he said 

Didn't fancy cooking 

He eats the cook when he is fed

He didn't much Iike the living 

Sweet old man

He said he'll come again 

He didn't have many friends

Nobody liked the stain

The guy is really very grim

Don't ever fuck with him

Remember if you want to live

He doesn't forget or forgive 

P974 It was a thing

It was a thing 

Without shape or form

Made from lines I had drawn

I always draw it when I'm sad

Or when my mind is gone 

I have these odd visits 

Visitations from beyond 

Wispy threads of reality 

That are hard to grasp 

And will not last

A kind of brittle bond 

I have a terrible feeling 

I'm not alone 

That I have something in me

That always comes along 

When I'm hurt 

It always stays with me

It's my mind, I'm afraid 

It's not very well

In it there are mysteries 

Where all the strangeness dwell 

I can't explain 

I'm not that good

These things aren't very kind

I sound weird 

But if I'm right 

I may be losing my mind

P968 Colors tell a tale

Too many people

Empty mindless 

Too many thoughts 

Consumed with self love

Too many opinions 

Fewer choice 

It's hard to accept obscurity 

But when you are in a few billion 

That's not only not obscene 

Anything other is absurdity

Chockablock dense

Less substance more pretense 

Wooly logic magical whim

Dire very dire

Prognosis dim

Still the colors tell a tale

Of life, of how it's fleeting 

That this is the only moment 

We get to be this way

For what it's worth 

In deepest despair 

In the loneliest hours 

I see some hope in fear 

Barefoot on the grass

Playing air guitar 

A mess of memories 

Voices from far

Brain-melting puzzles 

Cartoon hero shy and dull

A world full of struggles 

Unnerving lullaby lull

P961 I am hazy

I'm a bit nondescript, kinda fuzzy 

You can't draw me, I am hazy

To see me you have to disentangle 

Made of strings in a circle and triangle 

In a jumble of lines

The truth is faint and hidden 

The deepest corners of the mind

Far removed and forbidden 

I am just not here, I could be everywhere

To find me, you must think, not stare

It's just how the world works

It just another one of those quirks 

All you want to do is think nothing 

Is the matter, when it's everything

An analyzed life is 

A mind unseen 

Then the face is a blur

As it should've been

I'll persist in the imagination 

Like these squiggly lines 

Of no description 

Of my dark times

P960

P959 I am pretty

I am pretty with a red lipstick 

I was fat, now I'm a stick 

Oh well I don't keep it in

I'm not feeling good in denim

But my necklace is stunning 

Don't you think it's nice

I paid the fat price 

And my hat what do you think

Nobody could get better than that

I was so fat, now look at me

I have the figure of a reverie 

I'm worth a thousand dollars just in shoes 

I don't have it in this, please excuse 

But you're not sure I look good?

You should ask me out, I would!

P958 I'm a rotting fish

I'm a rotting fish

I was gutted by the gutter

A fish out of water

A cruel cruel world 

I can sense the fetid foul

I can see the leaving soul

This isn't how I planned it

Worse than any nightmare 

Whoever did this 

Won't get away with this

For I'll come back as living hell

I corrupt his mind, the madness kind

He will drown in his own laughter

P957 Girl fetching water

A village girl fetching water 

Near the waterfall on the bank

I stared at her

Her face was clear of sadness 

My mind drew an affectionate blank

I wondered how her life was

Was it as slippery as where she stood

On that moss covered rock

Near this treacherous brook

Was she going back to a simple life

Simple like her face

Or was it like the oddly winding road

That led from the bank away

Does this bengal beauty 

Know she is pristine 

Will she stay this way

Or is this just the innocence in me

I wonder if her twirling gait

Will attract more eyes than mine

But I know I don't have to worry

She is a thought in my mind

P956 Dog Eats Dog

It's the dog-eat-dog thing 

Only the fiercely competitive wins

There's no rule of law

No merit in the bloody paw

It's just a murderous zeal

Only the winner has the deal

So we end up with these people 

Who only fight, and nothing else

A blood bath over everything 

And always walking over eggshells

There's a blood spill over stormy tea

Unjust massacre you can't see

You kill the problems now not solve 

You make them worse they evolve

What you solved in a trice 

Comes back, you pay the price

P955

P951 The person in you

I'm an egg head ghoul

An evil troll 

I drink your spinal fluid 

I sap your brain 

I fuck it plain

You wouldn't know I did

I'm so good when I'm in mood 

I make you frolic in fun

You'll just do whatever I tell you

And think you're the one

I'm in your mind

I'm all you'll find

Your thoughts are planted things

You have no will there's no feel

It's all make believe 

P950 I have nightmares

I have nightmares 

Terrible scares 

Every night 

It's a scarecrow world 

Out of light, a startling fantasy 

Where people are meaner

Patience is thinner 

Violence is the main thing 

I shit my pants 

Or throw a punch

Depending what it is

Come to me you when it's day

And watch me make you pay

You'll eat my shit 

Till I feel fit

And let you go away 

So mister ghost 

You are toast

Don't comeback to my sack

I need some sleep 

And need it deep

Please remember that

P949 With my name on it

There's a dagger with my name on it

At the crossing where love meets hate

Where waiting is just a game 

Bleeding is just fate

I won't bleed a lot, there isn't a drop saved

Stabbed in the back through my heart 

I'm just tearful gushing gapes

I don't think I'm mad but then

If breath is a sigh of madness 

I'm too tired and too spent to pretend 

I'll walk straight into its blade 

The spiders in vain have spun

Unkindness is not ordinarily made

There isn't anywhere to run

P948

P947 An eagle took my skull

An eagle took my skull 

Now I'm not that fun

I used to be a good bonehead

Now I'm headless, sort of dead

I can't eat much there's no mouth 

I can't see much north or south 

I want my head back I throw a fit

Shoot the eagle if you see it

Without that bone I have no brain 

Wonder how I'm talking to you then?

Maybe I'm a ghost resident in your mind 

Maybe that was your skull, it wasn't mine

P946 To be a bird

It's fucking hard

To be a bird 

We're going extinct 

Humans are next

That is best

Nature does its thing 

If we are gone 

There won't be a song

To sustain 

You will not live 

To breathe or shit

Your pride vain

In a death filled dawn

Two heads conjoin

Dark ominous rover

So stop this shit

Whatever it is

Or die of starving fever 

Your gods are lies

You're too big in size 

Open your eyes dim fools

Once the birds die

In a dark lonely sky

You won't have a place to go

Don't kill us all

Or you will fall

You stupid stupid ape

P945

P944 Skull and Bones

I rest my teeth on my leg bones

Lost the rest in warring zones

I was blown to very small bits

I'm now in many bone kits 

Don't know where the rest are

All in lands weird and far

Where toddlers play and dogs chew

I don't know them, do you?

Oh well what have I got to loose 

Thinking can a skull confuse

Plus I can't see a thing

Half my skull blew in the sting 

We fought hard, we were soldiers brave 

When we came into the cave

It was rigged with mines from the start

All it needed was one smelly fart

Boom boom boom it went

We as smithereens were spent

Flying left and high everywhere 

It was a bloody nightmare 

But on second thought it's alright 

Wasn't a life going anywhere right

Fuck the living life is a bore

Nothing I miss from before

P938 The poop monsters

I see poop

Poop is here,  poop is there

Poop is almost everywhere 

It stares at me, the crinkled eye

It makes me puke when I try to cry 

They're like monsters hideous and yellow 

I swear I saw them glow

Brown sometimes with seeds and nuts

That's my brother's, no ifs and buts

It was the pipe that broke

They are so smelly it's not a joke

It was an overflow I tried to mop

When poop slid from the toilet top

Oh my God, I see them dance

Surely HATE at first glance 

Oh my God, I want to die

I have to clean this (deepest sigh)
