Activist

Yes, you made the right choices and spoke with the right voices

You walked your walk and dared anyone to challenge your drive

As the comrades conformed and were absorbed into that against which you rallied

You prepared to stand alone and shout your defiance into the faces of all

Then the morning came when you realized a fatal truth, an epiphany that sobers and kills

Indifference always plays a role in this act, always behind the curtain waiting to step in

Because in the end we are all greedy, we are all for sale

despite the coverings we display we really just want to carry on, but not at the cost of our security

the few that can defy this definition of hypocrisy and weakness are saviors of the ideal we thought we lived

I hope you never die - the definition of humanity is our extinction

Vampiress

You cannot help your nature...lust does tidy work
Your path runs through fragile fields of human dreams
Collateral damage is a byproduct of needing to progress, to evolve
A cocoon of sweet savagery is woven with the smashed dreams of many souls
The ritual of survival is laced with loss, garnished with screams of futility and fury

Hunting - Waiting - Feeding...It will all fall into place soon

We cannot see past the glamor of your self serving charm
We want to be you, we want to taste you
We are but fodder to the involuntary lash of what we've become
Worth in what we can taste, but what is real cannot be trusted
The ability to judge our own existence is lost
The Antagonist again reborn into it's victim

San Francisco

He-men walking such small dogs

as fog overtakes the warm summers day

between pick pocket brownstones and seedy chrome condos

no one smokes except for on the secret balcony

Is this where all the cops are hiding?  it must be -

as drying clothes threaten the security camera's view

of empty bottles of Jamison in the gutter...
