The Fool

"When you dream of being an artist in San Francisco.

Snacking on the name-brand Oreos from Nabisco!

Thinking you'll finally hit your stride.

Liberated from the small town you

left behind as you hitched a ride.

You are the fool arcana on the tarot card.

Dabbling in the shifting cultural zeitgeist of the big city

whilst simply trying to be a humble journeyman of your craft

hoping to get paid for working hard!

Similarities will soon pop up.

Koolaid flavors of ideologies and trends drank from many of a Styrofoam cup!

The commies claim to love the common wealth and despise the rich.

Yet just like with the zealous evangelicals there's always a hitch!

The Satanists seem like they would be a fun bunch.

Until you realize you are always stuck paying for their lunch!

New age witches seem easy and hot.

Until you stick your dick in an unstable ball-busting histrionic man-blaming thot!

The punkers across the street say they are anti-fasc.

Sure is strange a buncha ancap anarchists are accepting

hand outs from a globalist billionaire's lobbyist stash!

The hippies tell you they have the very best weed.

Then you find out they just want to get in your

pants whilst your mind is elsewhere

riding a galloping astral traveling steed!

There are always those whom deceive to use you for their own benefit.

To get ahead they would instantly render your life forfeit!

They will fill your head with noble prose and heroic banter.

Funny how those very same people just sit around collecting

money whilst making you dance on strings like a stooge

at the mercy of a sorcerer enchanter!

They know about advertisements and alluring aesthetics.

Whether you like big titty goths or trad wife christian girls

they can tailor and adjust all the memetics.

One deception falls away into another deception like props on a movie set constantly being rearranged.

All as flesh is auctioned and exchanged. 

I'm not telling you who to trust or who to fuck.

Merely that there are adrenochrome vampires out their looking for some young blood to suck!

Watch your step along this twisting path.

Take fun where you can find it so long as

you can look behind the spectacle and

calculate the math.

There's no shame in being the fool.

But no one has sympathy for a tool!"

Middle-Man

"Across the Dixie line they are whispering I lay upon a creaky floor as my bed.

Reiterating I'm a strange fella with weird thoughts bouncing around in my head.

A few of em might have seen my illustrations though I tend to keep em locked away.

It's amusing wondering about what they say.

(As if a drawing could hurt em anyway!)

Yet in the big city they told me I'm too naive and my heart is too big.

That I just don't got what it takes for that kind of gig.

Too lewd and crude for the south.

Up north they don't take to the accent coming from my mouth!

Too non-conforming for heaven and not enough of an edge-lord-upstart for hell.

Finding a place to hang my hat sure would be swell!

Just a middle man put in limbo.

Shunned equally by both a high class lass

and a sultry bimbo!

Pissed off my fair share of people of every stripe.

Never meant to cause trouble but everyone wants you to join

their own cult of personalities with no slack for your own

opinions as you take a hit from their pipe!

I'm not one to always tell folks what they want to hear.

So I saunter on down the road when the coast is clear!

It's not that I wouldn't stand up for a good cause.

But when I see petty bickering over nonsense it

certainly gives me pause.

Spiritual but not zealously religious.

When it comes to politics I just

shake my head because it all comes off

as ill informed and pretentious!

Everyone competing to seem the most smart.

All I'm thinking about is what is for dinner

as I put assorted goods into my cart!

I'm not the man you would be comfortable taking home to meet your mom and dad.

Also not the first choice for a one night stand when you want it rough and want it bad.

I guess if I had wings one would be from an angel and the other would be from a demon.

Just because I'm aloof,soft spoken,and polite does not mean I don't dream of a sexy goth slut to cream in!

What can I say, I live to disappoint on all fronts!

Turning assumptions about me into frightful yelps,discontented sighs,or confused grunts!

Just a guy with one foot in fire and the other foot in snow.

Stuck between two polarities with no momentum or flow!"
