Defeat

Dead carcas's claim your eye's, questioning your fate through ghostly thoughts it plys.
Bringing yourself deeper the longer you stay- leaving the grounds becomes difficult
as they entrap you in grey. Reading the concrete oblong- seeing past comrades imparted in stone explicating to your hesitation that you wont be alone. Equivocation becoming slim, capitulation nearly over the brim, escaping this trance seems increasing dim, more likely to drown as upriver you swim.

Nightman Vs Daymn

Dayman o ah uhhhhhh! 

Entirely in his mind

By Conrad Pierce

Ice on skin, atoms moving slower,
the space between them and mine is increasingly thin.
Black steel masking silver,
shell trapped behind shield, only under pressure will it ever yield.
To flee the compartment
and infiltrate the copious barrel pushed against my skin.
Controlled by a deliberating mind,
weighing the entities existence against his demise.
The immolation concocts his own thoughts and in his mind cries.

Box

By Conrad Pierce

Bloody knuckles accompany my hands
like rodeo fans with belt buckles, sitting in the stands.
Bare skin against the leather combined
with the snow which is the weather- makes me bleed.
Eating the cream cheese bagel as I indict my sin-
my feed. Full now as I take a nap can't feel my skin-
fur on the bed over my own to hold in the heat so my own I rap.
Speaker buds in my ears bumping rhythms to hide the rain as it hits the roof.
Woke up this morning with the after effects-
slowing my body down like slow motion tape decks.
Seeing my hands where the cuts are revealed present scars creating former situations
when at night I punched the bag of seeds-
the same as before, different reasons though and now different needs.





Next few days will be poetry, new and old- made by me.
Feedback welcome....

Who is a ___________?

I wrote a post about who is an American, which I covered quite terribly so I would like to give others the chance if willing to....in the comments please write what country you are from and what the people are like in a brief summary. I'd love to hear about other countries and what people are like? If any different...because I am guessing in a lot of ways people are the same around the world...just different governments. But maybe you could correct this idea?

Ink hits the Pen

By Conrad Pierce

Cerebral tissue trapped behind bone,
prisoner inside so he stays unknown.
Muscle trapped behind skin-
the patience behind the force is beginning to run thin.
Ink behind metal, gravity forcing it out- acting as the pedal
leaking onto the paper it begins to settle.
Through these subjects of matter I'm able to paint you a picture.
Write you a story of those unknown, those who only on paper have ever been shown.

Who is an american?

I've been getting a lot of views from Iran for some reason....which seems strange. This blog is broadcasted from america and the way their leaders and many in the streets talk about the united states I am surprised they are even aloud to view this blog or any from america. But this isn't about Iran or any of my other countries that view this blog,  this is about who americans are. Well for me americans are many and diverse, we live in a system built upon a lot of strugle and from that strugle we are now able to live a richer life because of past endevours. Most things we buy we have no idea how it got there, or where it came from and we do not think about it. I personally try and buy american when I can but probably most my purchases are not from america. I am not rich, but I am rich compared to most of the rest of the world just as anyone is a citizen of this great nation. We are religous, however most of us who claim a religion simply claim it as a check box on a paper. I am not one of those but I do know many who claim religion as simply something to say they are like "I'm irish" or "I'm russian" like it's something that just is. TV is a huge part of the american life, even if you do not have cable or satelite you still get around 10-12 channels though these days most everyone has cable or satelite where a bunch of useless channels are located. Those viewing TV especially the kids in a lot of ways are brainwashed and live according to what they see on TV. It's a powerful machine that people don't realize what they view on it can impact how they think, especially at young ages. Where do we work? Well we work mostly in chains, meaning stores/restaraunts/buildings that look very similar and sometimes the same as one another- such as taco bell's, wal-mart's, good will's, KFC's, and the such. We also work in the military, for various reasons we enlist but unlike many countries military service is not required. The rest of us either worked hard and have some kind of business or went to college and got to work for one of such built business that likely isn't such a huge chain or maybe not one at all either way though what ever it is selling costs more therefore its workers get paid more. For most of us to go to college and work for a semi succesful company is the top of the food chain. There is a sect of america that the lower and middle class never see's or meet's. The super rich that own the chains across the america, and other mega succesful business's. This secret sect of america likely makes the recent law for the past 50-80 years by sending candidates money, getting them elected and then sending lobyists for pursuasion. This is only like 1% of us though and do not represent us as americans however they are at fault for how we are seen globally for making the laws they make, and making/saying what will go on TV to brainwash the nation. It's funny and sad in a way, the least american of us is who creates our image. Anyways, this is a little bit of us americans. We're not evil, we try and help each other out- our friends and family. We work to pay the bills (most of us) and since we do have more wealth here as a nation we have a lot of leisure activities. Many of us look at this life we live and think it's too complex and a simple life might have been better. We think our leaders are insane and have mental problems- most of what we see them do we have to ignore and keep on living our lives, when we see bad things happen around the world many of us spend our money to help them and pray for them. That's us in a nutshell.

Serious Post- Government Closing?

My entire family works for the government either in the military or in the ship yard for the navy. So when the Obama administration so casually says they will withhold payment for work being done for the government it makes my blood boil. Especially when I am on the verge of becoming enlisted myself in the military. What angers me more than anything is Obama is telling congress to get this fixed and make sure the government doesn't close. Let us step back a moment and figure out why we are in this situation in the first place. Obama ran against bush, for spending too much on the war and "trickle down" economics. Fine. So if he is so against war spending then why does he increase troops in afgahnistan and bomb libya because the UN says so but without the permission from congress. (Which he wouldn't have gotten) But let us forget all of that and focus on what he really did. A health care bill that was supposed to give health care to people who do not have it and so people can stay insured longer. Fine. Can we atleast read what the hell is in this bill before we make it law? No!? Let us make it law so that we can "find out" whats in the huge bill that would take months to look through. How bout that bail out and then the stimulus package, how are your pockets doing? Really thick right about now- right? No!? Well, so none of those have worked and as far as I can tell he has spent many times over what he insulted Bush for doing. So what was his plan again? Change!? Yes, the change you will have in your pocket because you spent all of your dollars on food that is one and a half to one and a third of what it was before Obama took office. Don't worry though, there will be no inflation and taxes? There won't be any increases...nope if you aren't rich then you will be great! Right?!

You tell me.

Sedative

I'm the one you love to hate.
Live a life of lunacy can't tell what I am.
Numbers decide me for what they are.
More meaning than me, carved before I was burried.
Alive now, inside my skin- always carried.
Dead inside yet my cross I carry.
Thirteen the means to trap me inside.
Can't be me, can't even hide.
Nomatter how many times I lied, I wasn't.
Just the fool who sits and doesn't.
