The American Man

                                              The American Man


Decisions of a lifetime made by men in the wild

Questions of preferences between spicy and mild

Choosing that woman to be the container for your child

Knowing nine months later, the house will go from quiet to loud



Incidents called incidents but genuine intentions were there

 Penis doesn’t just fall into vagina, it always starts with a seductive stare

Time spent away from home to reduce the new Sesame Street sound blare

Intimate nights with others; to your lover: its unfair

　

Confess every Sunday at Cathedral, but to your lover you never do

Morbid contemplations of mutual cheating so “we can both be at fault too”

Late night microwave meals never reheated, not even your favorite beef stew

Liquid diet of scotch to stay sane, your teeth never chews



Telephone locked with code to avoid a potential scold

 Seeking sympathy by saying pneumonia but really it’s the common cold

 All bets are in, are you all in or do you fold?

 The American man simply does everything he is told

The Reoccuring Lie

Retreat back to your caves, the war has come to an end!
No longer will it be our country you will have to lend.
No longer will your streets be filled with unfamilar faces.
As soon as they're gone, we'll wash away their traces.
No longer will fear be pierced into your soul
Your life and your childrens you will take back ahold
First thing tomorrow, their planes will be at flight
They'll land in their place of origin, and we'll have ours back
Only then will things seem somewhat in tact
For this war was not for us, it was not our decision
Follow the choices of the Government, they say
Or have a hell of a time in prison.
Abandon the notion of rebellion and become just another sheep in the herd
Or else flea this country like a disobedient bird
Set your clocks because tomorrow, we will all finally be free
Don't take my word for it, just wake and you'll see
No longer shall your beliefs have to be silenced
But beware, one thing will remain
and that's the violence.

Intellectual Army

We bring others into the world to say we've accomplished.
Ten fingers and ten toes, unaware of the sorrows never to be abolished.

Influences from days of birth reign relevant until not.
Thrown into the fire, left to boil without a pot.

Those older, supposedly wiser, seek guidance from above.
Those younger, innocent in the mind, know nothing but unconditional love.

Without knowledge of HATE, HATE does not exist.
Words keep flowing as long as intelligence persist.

The often-glorified college is nothing but High School with dorms
Infested with young minds straying away from social norms

While conforming might be adolescent Kryptonite
Every dorm room on every floor reeks of sex and beer tonight.

We might think we're so different, yet we're remarkably the same
We've all payed the same entrance fee, now we're just waiting for the start of the game

GIVE US FOUR YEARS OF YOUR LIFE, at the end you get a diploma in a frame
"DO I GET A JOB?" the college kid ask

Silly member of the Intellectual Army, you must be INSANE
