CRIMES IN DISGUISE by JRC

Beat, beat, beat at the drum. 
Concrete, feet on the run.
My rage is confined. 
This cage, silver-lined.
Enigmas of paradise
Stigmas of sacrifice.
This binding's what ties. 
These crimes in disguise.
I won't wipe your tears. 
When you feed me lies.
Through all of your fears. 
Remember, time flies.

FLASH MOB by JRC

You must join them, or they will join you
You speak of it, and it speaks the truth
Mechanical pulses, obsessive impulses

No one asks , and no one tells
All who scream are all who yell
Camo, machine guns, and casual reruns

Traced around, you in chalk
Some will run, but some will walk
Smoke in your step and flames in your breath

Lifted up in ashes
Your motive never crashes
Up above the embers
Only you remember
The golden years
The chosen years
So wasted and frozen
Those years

Remember?

FISHING FOR THOUGHTS by JRC

There was a day,
A time, a place
A decision,
I’d take back what I said.
The fork’s in the road
A stallion of gold
With wings
It ascended
Into the whirling of the clouds
“you never told me the reason”
You just gave me a cause
And even though it was bleak
You gave me a purpose
And destroyed my fear
Oh, how it conquered me
But now it’s a faded line
It fled itself out of my mind
From a clue. a hint
A silent grin
I took on a challenge
My trophy was peace
Filled with gallons
Piece, by piece, by piece
A caught the catch
And threw it right back
And all of this chaos
Just fell through the cracks
