JUST US
these wandering ghosts
shallow reflections of man
these ain't no walking dead
that's just us
doing all we can
these mice in a maze
a rodent race put to test
this ain't no experiment
that's just us
trying our best
let's just hope we won't fail, let's just hope
'cause all I see is hollow hearts trying to make it home,
drowning their despair in drugs, and no kisses or hugs
will help them find a way out of this maze
'cause we all got to figure it out on our own
these baboons in a cage,
hoarse voices demanding change
this ain't no petting zoo
it is just us
acting out rage
but we are all just apes in a cage
'cause all I see is hollow hearts trying to make it home,
drowning their despair in drugs, and no kisses or hugs
will help them find a way out of this maze
'cause we all got to figure it out on our own

A DAY AT THE STATION
a day at the station
revolves in mysterious ways
beneath the art nouveau dome
few found their home
while others‘d hate to stay here..
a day spent at the station
though past time for the bold
still is a lesson worth to learn
while climbing up the ladder
never mind that you might fall down here..
a day spent at the station
in a kingdom of no king
yet of its own rules
banishing fools,
praising those who bring
the only thing
that matters, here..
hectic in places, trapped elsewhere
but the currents of time seem to meet here..
a day at the station
belongs to the dealers and the whores
the noble gentry of this realm
the retail of dignity is in vivid display
down here..
a day at the station
offers prey for the vultures,
supply compassion,
demand a fee
it’s a ransom, not charity
hectic in places, trapped elsewhere
but the currents of time seem to meet here..
a day at the station
might be a day well spent
if you don't forget to watch
and learn...

Doubt

what's to be got or to be gained
from yielding to thoughts of despair?
I can't say man, 'cause all I've ever got
boils down to this doubt
I ask myself: do I really want to know what it's got to say?
do I really want to hear all the stuff it's got to say?
I live in the shadowland of doubt
my mind keeps getting at me
sure, I'd like to escape
but it ain't easy as it might seem
are you to let the doubts right in
or desperately try to keep them out?
I can't tell man, this is all up to you
you are on your own
you decide what you do
ask yourself, do you really want to know what it's got to say?
do you really want to hear all the stuff it's got to say?
the first rule reads: question everything
but if nothing is stable what do you build on?
with no assurance, no security,
how do you live with all certainty gone?
as no love brings no danger
no risk equals no gain,
time refuses to turn you into stranger
so I erase you to erase the pain
no love equals no pain
and no risk brings no danger
I delude myself in vein that
by erasing you I erase the pain

NEGRO (James Emanuel)
never saw him
never can.
hypotetical
haunting man
the-ness froze him
in a dance
a-ness never
had a chance
eyes a-saucer
yessir Bossir
dice a-clicking
razor flicking
work / sleep

we're ontological orphants
neglected children of modern man
who were cast into this epistemic hell
and left here to figure out what we can
there's hundereds of gods to choose from
if you're inclined to believe
legions of clergymen are waiting for you
ready to lure you and decieve
if you let them
armies of door-to-door salesmen
are now snaring for their pray
millions of competing -isms
are now on sale
ready to lead you astray
feel free to try whichever suits you the most
or ask the community for guidance
we will examine and question
up until the only purpose of your life is looking for purpose
what is there for me?
well, I don't really know,
I was caught somewhere in between
and it is neither this or that
I'm walking, hands outstretched
forth darkness and unknown
or are you more inclined to opt for simplier soulution?
embrace the preordained life-style of limited volition
a life-style little tight around the neck
so much so the spine is about to break
or bend, which is more likely
will you bend down in the end?
