Prologue
Just Things
Words connect to describe things without a trace to erase

Five Times
Phony people stand still
Helping people enjoy the fruitfulness
Setting up the raw talent
Metamorphic
To the bone of pain
Leon Basin
Connection
Connection of souls attract heat
Pleasure is unique
Waves is toxic
Feelings are tears
In rain or snow
It becomes a beat

Opening Act
Stroke the keys to give up the enchanted lights of darkness
History evolved into something like of a disaster
Broken hearts are broken silently, without a key of smiles unknown
To the devil born the new people
Without a trace my life belongs to you
Don’t you want to stare into your rear view window?
Creeping giants will swallow you whole
It is like an enormous battle underneath the moonlit night
Without you knowing the truest answer to the puzzle
You shiver with a silent breath
Upon your shoulders
Death creeps upon you
What do you do?
Look away and pray to the Lord
Is he listening?
On the other hand, I think I am dreaming
This change on earth
Needs to start this moment

Second Act
Publicity stunt serves as hell of a name
You enjoyed teasing people with no one else to blame
It is, as you do not care to raise your right hand
Class is in session, and I believe it is your turn to talk
What is wrong you do not have any words to say?
Well, how do you think we feel?
We will not stand and watch you burn this place to dust
You lied to us without any truth behind your lies
Do you really think we will not do anything?
Hope you are prepared
For a separate kind of War
A War that is going to hurt like hell
We are not letting you treat us like shit
It is our time to stand up and connect the dots
Moreover, when the time comes
Which is soon I might add
We will be the ones on top

Third Act
Acting like an enormous garbage disposal is nothing but a controversy
In disguise
I stand still looking out of the walls of four
To see something is a coming of age story
Uniting all of us to let our gentle tune play in the background
Of
Our garbage disposal

Fourth Act
Why does violence occur?
What causes people to react the way they do
Is it some kind of hatred that was sprinkled into this world?
By
An entity that hates this place
It is something of a mystery
Something of a controversy in many
Debates around the globe
It seems like a propaganda
With a agenda that was put into place
By
Your very own government
Page 12

Fifth Act
Slavery is engraved into multiple stones of pain
Pleasure is taken away from families
Tears are brought into its core blood red
Treasuring the empty calories that you felt you needed
In order to gain the points of scoring
You are realizing you are way behind the game
You were put into a friendship zone type of ordeal
I suggest you turn away and run
Alternatively, stand up for yourself and fight your battle
One by one, and make it seem like you give a damn
Page 13

Sixth Act
Families bleed because of corporate greed
It is a dangerous game
That is played without a chessboard
Controversy unstoppable
Life is unpredictable
This is why you should run
Moreover, get underneath the tool shed
Never come out
No matter if, they raise hell on this earth
You will be better shaken and dismantled
Than dead and gone

Seventh Act
Society is played in a puzzled blame game
We play ticktacktoe,
Because we do not know who else to blame this problems on
For
We disappear into a clouded moment of despair
Let us get together and prepare
Some kind of battling attack
Against this wicked government plots of a game
It is least we could do
Because sooner or later
Our ashes will burn

Eight Act
Road to space is quickly becoming a game
We take pride in our scientific plans
Should we not be afraid of the game that we play?
Do you not believe in evil that can take over our minds?
It might be an entity that will want us gone
And
Burnt from this mean streets of our four walls connected to it all
We should escape the only game that we dream off
Moreover, fly above the sky
Because this is what we believe in

Ninth Act
Our abortions are way out hand
Should we face our problems?
Or
Excuse us to get out of it
Through a law that is debated scientifically and religiously
Multiple questions have been asked in this particular demeanor
No answers have yet been focuses on the problem
The debate continues to run its core of propaganda
It seems like religion controls the masses
And we follow the other leaders in a single file line

Tenth Act
Sitting in the corner of a window feeling pain
Watching people walk
Doing normal things that they usually do
It is something of a calming wave
That enchants people
Others follow others like drones
Of never stopping game of licks and teases
I suppose they do not see that all of what they do
Is yet to be something worthwhile when they die.

Eleventh Act
Pop culture is a game of playing mind games
It is a controlling eruption between the eyes of teens
Watching it everyday without a goal in mind
It sucks you in dry
And never gives your brain a break
A disease keeps on killing your brain cells
Watch your back, because you will not be laughing tomorrow
Because government is laughing without you knowing

Twelfth Act
A game connected so easily into the vertebrae
It is an emotional roller coaster of gravity control
Why is a string pulling you like a puppet?
Realize you are doing things to yourself
Out of your greed towards your own self and others

Thirteenth Act
When we cry, do other people wonder why?
When tears rolled through sunshine rain
Do people stare at us and laugh
Do they believe in true beauty of the rain falling tears?
Or rather, talk amongst themselves
And blame television for such idiocies
What a blaming game of one, two three
Why do we keep blaming media for the lack off?
Our
Growth as a human civilization
Falls because of our greed

Fourteenth Act
Different dimensions show a life from a different side
The game is still the same
In fact, you see the same things every day
People seem not to mind
And just continue living
It is the real lies that are being told
To the people

Fifteenth Act
Rain pours into my soul like blood of red
Heartaches on my mind because we are the victims of the dead
We cry in the corners and never look inside ourselves
We feel that we are trapped
And we cannot escape this lies
I believe unity is needed
So
We can do our part
Lets come together and share our thoughts

Sixteenth Act
Revolutionary compass passed hands of time
Never released the game of lies
Into the darkness color of a window shop
It seems that lies are taking over
Politics are the game we play now as day continue passing by

Eighteenth Act
Window shopper is a new name for a faker or a fake
Politics is a game that continues to be played

Nineteenth Act
War is nothing but a mystery
Scared of death of war I am
Are we all coming together to erase this pain?
Soldiers dying quickly
It is like a drought in the Old Testament
However, no one seems to be staying alive
The fighting continues but no one seems to be helping the needy
What do we do and where do we go from here?

Twentieth Act
Kids playing games that should not be played
Violence, money and women is nothing more but a controlling agenda
Installed by the government to stop us in our tracks
It does not seems like we are improving our ways
We are dumping billions of dollars into the garbage

Twenty-First Act
World seems confused to conspiracy rules
Lies being told in different shapes and sizes
Who will go on and fight another kind of War
Will the people of America realize the controversy surrounding America?
It seems that lies are being told in ways never imagined
When will someone step up and counter attack the argument
A unity is needed to connect the innocent
The blind
The scared
The unhappy
Last but not least
Everyone.

Twenty-Second Act
Why do presidents lie?
In the opening statements
Presidents lie
What do they get out of it?
What do they gain?
Other then control
Wealth
Power
And a satisfaction
To continue the pain
The suffering
And the unaccepted
Displeasure in the American Government
When
Oh
When will someone step up and say something
We need a leader
Who is not scared of the fakeness?
Who will fight for us?
For our kind of people
We need someone new
Someone who is not afraid
Afraid of darkness

Why does Paris Hilton news make the news?
Why does anyone want to cover a story that does not matter?

Twenty-Fifth Act
Families bleed because of corrupted government
In eyes of a follower my life travels into different directions
It’s possible degrading fault of the fakeness of our country governments
We bleed in our cold tears and it becomes ice tears
Those tears of the inside of our human heart
It is a controversy
That surrounds the by-lines
Of the never ending cycle of lies and more lies
It never contains the truth in anything you
See, read, hear, touch, or smell
When will this lies stop and never continue to break families apart

Twenty-Sixth Act
Dangerous memories never fade from dark to lighter
A harmony helped to make you happy when you were
Falling down the rabbit hole
You held a knife in your hand and cried tears of hatred
You hate people
Nevertheless, people love you
You despise people
But people always love you
No, matter what you do
People will appreciate you
You can turn away
And hide
Under your blanket
And there will definitely be no surprise
But just stand up tall
And push out your heart to the world
And no one can take that away from you

Twenty-Seventh Act
Falling like scriptures provoked
Words never talked about
Because hatred is a victim
Of surprises, and love is all but
Never successful conclusions
I guess some things are spoken through truth of the dying
Pain for the friendship hurts
More than a knife being
Stabbed into a cheating husband
No, Jesus of irregular talks of life
Just never successful conclusions in life

Invisible flower spoke to me in my sleep
Something out of ordinary
Seems like things I see on T.V. today
And in the media changes my

However, it seems to me they just showing off.

Twenty-Ninth Act
Die flowers of the fallen eyes
Despair misery to your loved ones
Because time is running out
In no time is my love
For desperate measures will be reached
You control your eruptions
It can be
Found in one single key of life
That is passion for what you desire
And
Never fall without the passionate desire.

Thirtieth Act
Happy days are all but a few weeks old
Never desire to watch T.V.
It is all but a fantasy
And fairy-tales all over the surprising view
Never fear the pretty light of the blue
Because, it's all a fairy-tale in disguise
Through things hidden in the tube
It locks the brain and never lets it go

Thirty-First Act
War progresses through the valley
Dangerous zones scared youngsters shitless
What are moms and pops to do?
When everywhere you look
You see a devils face,
In an unemotional sadness, he kept his eyes
Peeling like he wanted to take your mind
And throw it in the garbage can
Without anyone to take a look
What if it was a treasure that could
Benefit multiple people,
Ehh, I guess it is all on
You
To care and see for yourself.

Thirty-Second Act
In the room, I sit watching darkness creep on me
Lost without words of never finding my way,
I hold my head under the pillow to catch a breath
However, all I felt was something pulling me
Down
Something heavy
And all I saw was darkness creeping slowly
Onto me
Media is the number one control
Through
The cable boxes in your room
Instead of you
Watching T.V.
It is watching you

System corrupted
Mind is not interacted
Words told to a witness like she is corrupted
Even though you and I know system corrupted
Judge watching witness get into a nervous
Pecking order
Worries blossom like angels grinding behind the victim
Worries on faces of close to the witness
On trial she sits alone and worries
Because she might be caught of guard
Not knowing the system corrupted
What a scary way to sit and contemplate
If your life can end today
Or tomorrow
What will you say before you depart
In the chair of the witness stand
System corrupted
That is a flat fact
No taking back my feelings
Of how they treated me
A simple rule of poetry
Silent words are melody

The victim held on trial supposedly
However, my eyes tell me differently my ears hear sneaky control from the lawyers.

Because I love him, Dear GOD and I need him home with the kids and me.
"Well, he should have thought about his family, before he killed the man

For 2 years, I have gotten on my knees and prayed, and you have not answered,

I was thinking of how I will respond to you, because I know you are in pain,
I feel pain when you feel pain, and it puts tears to my eyes, but ultimately he is a killer

Water spills through my veins like glistening delight
Pain is all I see in the light
Broken hearted hopes
Torn apart from pieces of DNA
What a dangerous way to view life
What can a person do?
When all he is used to is hate, violence
And no luck in this side of the corner
No one there to raise his or her hand
Open up their hearts and come to this side
Seems like greed is taking over
