2.5056 : 3/6/19 : Extra Wierd

Check in on the country
getting
extra wierd
far off in
the future
I'm sure
you heard
and the epidemic
liquor self-harm pills
While we kept on
shoveling
riches at the shills

2.4802 : 6/26/18 : White Noise

Record every bit of it
end to end
So low so fast
load up hit send
reduced in fidelity
sounds just like white noise
call it performance
are ya feelin' me boys
I wouldn't have the slightest
what to do on a stage
or if a wealthy barfly
offered to buy a page
So I feel so lucky
the secret gets kept
and it's like the white noise
grew a story while I slept

2.4742 : 4/27/18 : American Dream

The time tripping
isn't building confidence
we've been around this
track a good few times
Still nowhere near
jumping the fence
and maybe I should
just embrace my lame-o
day to day
believe the hype
American dream
Lotta people
getting rich that way
a lot more
getting poor
but hey winners
need losers
make an argument
convince me
I don't belong with
these confusers

2.4586 : 11/22/17 : Twist

Hip hooray what you
got cooking up for me
in the plot twist
not thinking riches no
no mountaintop mentors
getting enlighten-blissed
here's me hoping for dull
a few hours lost off schedule
orders to feast light
here's to never knowing
if it's same-town coming
or the start of the next
long night

2.4580 : 11/16/17 : Book Coal

Book coal because God help me
it's still a commodity
Anybody left upstream
won't we be an oddity
So smart and so dumb
in strangely staggered measures
such equal parts obsessed with
and oblivious to our treasures
the rich are all nobodies
the thin edge of the wedge
the most obtuse ideology
dumb enough to call it a hedge
while the same damn sickle
mowed them all down alike
burned the dirtiest vein of coal
to build an electric bike.

2.4579 : 11/15/17 : Bounce

Just want to
spitball a couple
big new ideas
and bounce
quick fucking up
get stinking rich
lose about
a quarter ounce
maybe get
real spiritual
happy poor
and tripping balls
all make believe
sure I'll be working
and bouncing
right off all the walls

2.4227 : 11/28/16 : Grant Me to Defy All Expectations

Grant me to defy
all expectations
give unto me
the wealth of nations
and I'll build a tower
through to the light
above the clouds
on its hill a shining sight

2.4166 : 9/28/16 : PRINCE

Sell a million
year after year
born rich
watch more appear
the unfairness
real but I'm bored now
want what's inside?
fine, go get cored now
you hear these soft swells
time for the big klang
at least you didn't do that
guess I'll leave
that hope hang

2.4131 : 8/24/16 : The Lily

Wrestling foolish
against
considering the lily
don't know why
I'm so
stubborn and silly
all these
riches heaped
around my feet
Still there's
a lot of red ink
and dear Lord
this heat

2.3899: 1/5/16 : Insurrection

My insurrection plan is killing it
I'm occupying everywhere
and no one notices a bit
Armed with razor wit and pen
did you hear it's mightier than swords
I disdain the company
of technocrats and Lords
It isn't easy keeping up the stealth
turning down the easy fame
the easy pickings wealth
but oh the treasure I seek
Is a pearl far beyond price
since I found it's so much better
being not so smart but oh so nice

2.3859: 11/26/15 : For Granted

Take too much for granted
crave a rich portion
in my heart
grip my life in both hands
won't sacrifice for art
Look a little too much
like a patriarch
in a larval stage
Irony is stark
So I'll say my thanks
however I might feel
and leave to silent
prayer
my great appeal

2.3798 : 9/26/15 : Stars

Throw punches around
like ninja stars
punch through to
riches respect
fancy classic cars
no more need
to be eloquent
punch my way to
value self-evident
Punch grief punch loss
punch squandered potential
for the church of pain
and this ring reverential

2.3713 : 7/3/15 : Toff (Endless Axis 446/500)

Rise early leave
the messageman off
Take your instructions
from another sort of toff
I'll be a sort of servant
to a sort of aristocracy
anything to opt out
of this present bureaucracy
Hi ho the messageman
surely already employed
by another more toff than I
and I don't lie, I'm overjoyed
no half measure this
I'm locking down the count
and three days time will note
to what my launch may yet amount

2.3708 : 6/28/15 : Dumb Shrug (Endless Axis 441/500)

Stack this stack
higher
rally
raise the high
pie-er
never quite get
to the divy
the impoverished
the privy
So I rant
a little bit
rule the rulers
all unfit
raise my dumb shrug
to the skies
while the stack
mounts to
my eyes

2.3644 : 4/25/15 : Gala (Endless Axis 377/500)

All life's a gala
wealth all ubiquitous
don't blame the cornucopia
of the distribution's iniquitous
don't blame the aristos
they're just bars of silt
can you blame the river
I'd play that one to the hilt
but the problem sits before this page
and the problem wields his pen with rage
but rhetoric will never solve
and history is no line
nor does it revolve

2.3600 : 3/12/15 : Proof (Endless Axis 333/500)

Proof of conviction
for what that's worth
Oh I groan I pine
to go to earth
dig in for the
catastrophe
or dark spikes that
dig up the past for me
get behind me
Ronald MacDonald
and every imaginary
coin I fondled
on every imaginary
dragon pile
nothing for this but the battery
and eating mile on mile

2.3402 : 8/26/14 : Half Day (Endless Axis 135/500)

Make this half day
where this path diverges
where such ungodly
harrowed splitting merges
seeing in the fever dream
three decades maybe more
let this escape plan be in store
seek the vibration
that will activate
the passageway the lights
it's not too late
count out minutes
to make an about face
this wealth superabundant's
cluttered up this space
I find the third treasure
its case lined with cork
this thing that holds the aspect
of a tuning fork
mark here my branching
here to drive the spike
grasp the thing lightly
then a firm clean strike

2.3339 : 6/24/14 : Two Thousand Hands (Endless Axis 72/500)

The embarrassment
of riches
too many
options
heaven help me
when
I've got to
pick one
wish I could split
into
a thousand
bright parts
I need two thousand
hands to
carry out
all my arts

2.3271 : 4/17/14 : Of Seven (Endless Axis 4/500)

One of seven
of one of two
in a minute I will know
in a minute I will know
exactly what to do
sure at last
confident
surging past
all ghosts of the past
nothing mystic
just firm intent
by main force
the column finally unbent
save the world
or get rich trying
hit it so right
I'll leave you crying
