through fires we've walked
through trials we've come
we've hated and loved
we've changed and evolved

once we were a tryad
now you are a pair
boundaries so much clearer
passions far less raw

i consider you family
human tribe redefined
one love ever changing
many spirits many gods

empowered elvin beauty
tattoed and rewired
exponentially gorgeous
erotically charged

in love with my cypher
in love with my friend
the beuatiful genius
tortured mortal man

like angels we inspire
like demons we do harm
like gods we create
like pixies we charm

evolving towards freedom
reforging new bonds
self-organized mortals
nurturing higher powers

i've changed in your midst
i've failed and i've cried
i've given my all
i've tried far too hard

love guilt and pain
lust hope and shame
dialectically changing
redefining our fates

to the future we turn
imagining new worlds
conquering cruel masters
freedom's banner unfurled

like comrades like family
we struggle to transform
creating new relations
evolving through such deep pain

revolution is coming
revolution is now
minds evolving towards genius
spirit rising in love

in god i have faith
in loving comrades i trust
your love i respect
your support i embrace

ever-changing evolution
transforming our minds
love is my goddess
her angels call me friend

agents of karma
messiahs redeployed
avenging crime incarnate
armed with love fuled by rage

towards justice we strive
towards trust we've evolved
transforming old patterns
evolving towards sacred peace

2011-05-28T16:35:00.000-07:00

love and rage
took the stage
speaking truth
eschewing fame

inscribing pain
abusing veins
rebel poet
living wraith

harlem streets
never clean
seductive highs
pure dopamine

kick it quit it
never sticking
rhyme and rhythm
ever kicking

shining star
badly scarred
edge of glory
gone too far

science dropping
never stopping
black jesus baby
poet and prophet

his holy word
a dream deferred
hip hop's great
progenitor

truth unfurled
in meter blurred
from gotham
to johannesburg

forever real
words of steel
rest in peace
brother gil

televised
magnetized
revolution
immortalized

Stonewall baby
Sixty-nine
Homo riot
Right on time

Transgender warriors
Kicking it off
Battling cops
Holding down blocks

Out of the closets
Into the streets
Sex positive baby
Show me your teeth

Queer it up baby
Say my name
We fuck who we want
No guilt or shame

Not black or white
Not gay or straight
We’re cylon hybrids
We fornicate

Sodomize
the toxic lies
Find the truth
Buried deep inside

Queer it up
And hold it down
Prohomo ladies
Run this town

Transcendent love
Takes the stage
Queering power
Branding fame

Monsta army
In your ear
Monsta army
Proud and queer

Radical identity
Queer it up
But get some sleep

Rediscover
noble blood
Claim your throne
Give in to love

Fishnets under
Combat boots
Prohomo baby
We recruit

Pretty eyes
And witty smiles
Armed and wired
To organize

Agents of karma
Dirty little freaks
Fags dykes and queers
We rock while you sleep

Queer power
Revolution
Prohomo baby
Its evolution

Fight with love
Armed with rage
Nothing to lose
But our chains

Needing sleep

Your heart a mess
My love a drug

You made me feel
Much less alone
You made my heart
Give in to hope

I fell for you
I let you in
Love overcomes
Intoxicates

I told you yes
You ran away
Overwhelmed
By change and pain

Years have passed
We both have grown
Lovers once
Hermanos now

I touch your lips
And feel you breathe
I’ll come as close
As you’ll allow

When angels come
You let them in
Your love’s my drug
Pure oxygen

Sticks and stones
May break my bones
But your touch
Will always excite me

SEX POSITIVE BABY: the dirty little freak anthem

2011-05-07T12:02:00.000-07:00

I'm a dirty little freak
I'll meet you on the street
Go home to your place
And you'll taste me for a week

I'll go down on your floor
I'll rock you to the core
Bust out before dawn
Leave you screaming wanting more

Born this way
Here to stay
Putting divas up on stage

Transpower
On the hour
Spittin’ rhymes and growin’ flowers

Sex positive baby
Sluts walk goin’ crazy
Putting boys in their place
Stompin’ hard on misogyny

Erotic symphonic
Prohomo tectonics
Judas is my demon
Forever loving diabolic

Queer power on the hour
Locking bigots in the tower
Bypo rockin’ to the beat
Forever sweet never sour

Beats jump gettin’ crunk
Rockin’ bodies on the jump
Homothugs hold it down
Lesbonic divas spittin’ funk

Sex positive baby
Sluts walk proud and raging
Showing nipples flashing eyes
Grinding in your mama’s basement

Born this way
Here to stay
Putting divas up on stage

Transpower
On the hour
Spittin’ rhymes and growin’ flowers

Sex positive freaks
Demanding dignity
We fuck who we choose
Love ruling city streets

We're dirty little freaks
We make out on the street
Fuck propriety
Sexin' up the DMV

EYE FOR EYE

2011-05-02T07:34:00.000-07:00

Blood for blood
Eye for eye
Bin laden wanted
Dead or alive

white boys at the white house
waving flags and singing loud
revenge killing - assasination
spurs barbaric celebration

Flags fly while soldiers die
Widows, mothers grieve and cry

Obama cheered for war crimes
Nobel prize soaked in lies
Rebranding bush’s wars
Progressive cloak for settling the score

War abroad war at home
Palestine is walled in stone
Blackwater thugs and cyber drones
Cheered by jingoistic clones

They kill and maim but feel no pain
Hope and change are scarred and chained

Proto fascist patriots
Swarm the streets rolling deep
Drunk and pale – war stoned
Dancing on Islamic bones

Jingoistic bloodlust
Fills the air with toxic dust
Terrorized and traumatized
Rationalizing xenocide

Bin laden’s dead in Pakistan
CIA on sovereign land
Patriotic orgy nation
Glorifying assassination

Unpack the lies and realize
Imperial powers live to die
Mourn the dead and organize
Now’s the time to rise and fly

JUDAS BABY: a monsterfamily anthem

2011-04-02T15:12:00.000-07:00

jesus cristo
son of god
carpenter boy
skin of bronze

comrade to the poor
walked with whores
born this way baby
a monster prophet adored

palestinian rebel
roman occupation
anarchist devil
agent of liberation

sword of revolution
in jewish hands
semitic roots
submerged in arab land

intifadic crusader
jihadic defender
lover and fighter
prohomo uniter

judas baby
he was a disciple
jesus his lover
prophet and pupil

the man was scorned
when jesus got bored
jealous enraged
he turned on his lord

in the end he appealed
to the roman vassals
sold jesus to the cross
a crucifiction
gave in to the boss
a brutal addiction

sickness breeds
when passion ends
love and hate
fast fucking friends

JUDAS baby
is JESUS reborn
betrayer returning
to make good on the throne

when the boys made love
JESUS would cry
say JUDAS BABY
take me inside

JUDAS would scream
and JESUS would fly
gabriel reborn
with galadriel's eyes

AGENTS OF KARMA
coming right back
SEVENTH COMING BABY
a queer MONSTER ATTACK

DMV RISING
TAHRIR STYLE
JESUS AND JUDAS
GAGASTYLE

evolve or die trying
revolt or live lying
ONE GOD: AGENTS OF KARMA
ONE LOVE for a VAGRANT MADONNA

JESUS BABY
JUDAS CRIED
bring it home
let me ride and fly

MEMORIA: a tribute to Brother Manning Marable

2011-04-01T17:04:00.000-07:00

stop to pray
stop and stare
pain can teach
or destroy

night and day
love and rage
rule the streets
fill a void

six feet deep
a body laid
grief runs wild
children play

set love free
this sacred day
make a choice
to change your ways

friendship bleeds
love is pain
choked by weeds
an oak is slain

rise again
live to die
joy comes
to those who cry

brother manning
rest in peace
malcolm cries
your soul to sleep

revolution
spirit fired
like a phoenix
ever rising

A MONSTA RIFF

2011-03-31T13:14:00.000-07:00

Monster boy ate my heart
Ate my love tore it apart
Left me dancing in the dark
Bathed in tears like noah’s ark

Ate my heart then ate my brain
Took my love and gave me pain
Sucked my blood and made it rain
Cold case love gone insane

Te amo baby- is what I said
Heard the words, then turned and fled
Left me groping for the bed
Ramming nails into my head

Monster boys come and go
Make you scream then hit the road
Never letting people know
About the pain that makes them so

chocolate city burning bright
rule the night - don't fight the light
GOP BIGOTS >> on the attack
what do we do - DMV fights back

for congressional swine DC is a test tube
for conservative theories and twisted rules
forget about democracy this is D f-in C
AIN'T no autonomy for chocolate city baby

marriage equality
they want to take it back
homophobic pricks want to play with queer rights
aids prevention - GOP says no - abstinence only is a lame ass road
needle exchange saves lives you crazy nuts
take your tea party crap and go back to planet X

delegate norton
stripped of her one tired vote
we deserve some senators
we've been on the rope without hope
HOPE and CHANGE baby >> what we want and need
ROPES AND CHAINS lady << on the mind of the GOP

GOP mongrels want to strip and rip
CUTTING what little's left of welfare
want to gut public housing
turn it over to the banks
sad fact is OBAMA ain't standing
up he's playing games with fame
hope and change long dead
on the killing fields of IRAQ
LIBYA YEMEN AND AFGHANISTAN
guns not butter is the man's visious plan

DMV JUSTICE baby

DMV JUSTICE means autonomy
the right to self rule
the right to REBOOT

DONT TREAD ON DC
SIGNS ARE EVERYWHERE
we'll stop you in your tracks
if it takes another RIOT
we won't lie down
while you STRIP OUR RIGHTS

we'll fight like abolitionists
fought the slaveholding bigots
like palestinians fight ISRAELI TANKS
don't forget GOLIATH fell when david threw a rock

DMV JUSTICE BABY
NOW IS THE TIME
UNITE THE FIGHT
gay straight black or white

DEFEND THE DISTRICT seize the time FREE YOUR MIND
AGENTS OF KARMA unwind and conspire

MONSTA MARX REMIX 3.5: the CYLON-HYBRID ARCHITECTURE OF THE GAGA REVOLUTION

2011-03-29T07:10:00.000-07:00

juh-juh JUST DANCE
to pulsating pokerface rhythms

in a TRANCE
pink lips on the dealer's ceiling

with alejandro's lil’ monster
da dit-dit-DANCING in the dark
flung far and going HARD
fanon foucault mieville and marx
CYLON style phoenix flies
from fetid ashes towards the stars

reading parts and taking charge
thinking big but drinking hard
post-industrial DECAY
ruins the family farm

gaga’s monsta
mad with rage
leaving money honey
in your cage
and dangerous LOVING
for the cylon phage

playing ta-tit-tit TELEPHONE
with dirty rich bones
leaving PAPARAZI paralyzed
by pavarati's opal eyes and precious stones
never alone but always stoned
the monsta/marxist army grows
AGENTS OF KARMA are never alone

JUXTAPOSE this fantasy
with creeping pop reality
free your mind
and you will see
the MONSTA army is you and me
existential humanist
socialist and anarchist
born this way and here to stay
make a wish and raise your fist

gaga’s in an armored BRA
living large and taking charge
sex cells liberate
MONSTA QUEER they procreate
prohomo baby name your fate

ta-tur-tur TURNING
pretty pubescent boys
into freshly flavored toys
cute and coy but never bored
playing love games for FAME
and dancing in the dark
da-dit-dit-DARK-dark

fame is earned by few
and we are GAGA for lady gaga
always raw fresh and new
turning incipid pop culture
into puh-pah-pah POP POLITICS

sucking neo out of the MATRIX
forging image into reality
making love look like EVERYTHING
kicking the ASS
of tawdry pop tarts
taking NAMES
eating your heart
rebranding the game
never falling apart
open HEART in the DARK
banksy's mark is on her heart

Q-L-G-B-T
thousands marched for equality
MONSTA army queer and proud
say it loud-say it now
gaga was there baring teeth
wearing white like gabriel
jeweled like galadriel
screaming a la casa blanca
ARE--YOU-- LISTENING?!
Escuchanden?
(in da house… in da house…)

the whole world IS watching
a POST-modern POP goddess
monsta army is evolving
standardizing problem solving
veiled and voluptuous
wild and tempestous
hatred sacred love profane
QUEEN of love lord of RAGE
athena rules the cylon phage

JUST DANCE she said
and we ARE listening
cylon tounges glistening
forked like asps’ to sting like wasps
dancing with the hybrid dead
with RUNAGATE vinyl sex instead
not on the bed but in our heads
from afar and blessed by STARS
agents of KARMA are never far

the ma-ma-MONSTER ate my heart
enthralled enthroned but never cloned
cylon style we roll deep
creep don’t sleep
CRY don’t weep
like omar says: know the code
subaltern army OVERTHROW
sharp as nails - never slow
throw some blows then hide the dough

JUST DANCE
play your part
life is art
in light or dark
beautiful mess of sensous flesh
striving for connection
and a fiercer reflection

evolution is unstoppable
another world is possible
and happening now
pa-pu-pu-POW
(in da monsta house!)
SHIVA STYLE

the revolution may not be televised
but it will come in scintillating heels
barbed with wire
don’t cop a feel
fakers best recognize
that our remade lives are for real
on our own - no cat and mouse
(New Crobuzon is in da house!)

Ra-ruh-ruh-REVOLUTION
with performance art and paper gangstas
eva-vu-vu-vu EVOLUTION
remaking minds to make them faster
MONSTA army on our feet
armed to the teeth and rolling deep
with BASS hooks and psycho plastics
cybernetic ghetto blasters
scarred hexed and crudely plastered
combat boots with platinum armor
hitting HARD and getting hotter
making the new viper madonna
vuh-va-va-VOGUE a little harder
vishnu baby he's my father

EVOLVE baby or die trying
REVOLT baby or live lying
FO-TO-GRAF my mind
and battle plans you will find
dopamine on the rise
seratonin in disguise
perdido station will be ours
tonight’s the night
the dreamers rise

JUST DANCE
its gonna be ok
the monster army will have its day
M-O-N-E-Y is fly
But lives are precious
and hope won't DIE
when we lie and don’t deny

EVOLVE baby or die trying
REVOLT baby or live lying
Electrify and magnify
my mind this time is open wide
viscious battle plans to find
dopamine staying high and fly
revamping the CORTEX
next frontier to pump and flex
sampling the cock effects
plugging in and scanning text
free your mind and let it rise
conquer matter – conquer time
have no fear neo-gaga’s real
neurons and synapses hear
bankstyle we have no fear

ROCKSTAR
do it right
go too far
SEDUCE the night
evolving
seeking truth
HOLDING ON
BULLET PROOF

monsta army inda house
remade party on the bounce
sentinels don’t drop your guard
neo-gaga’s going HARD
battle scarred but taking charge
living large with monster claws

REVOLT-REBEL
give suckas hell
hypomanic in the flow
ebbing changing making whole
just DANCE behind your poker face
paparazi’s saving grace
amazing how fine freedom tastes
angels of karma are agents of fate

love and pain
guilt and shame
building power
branding FAME
trust: a weapon taking aim
blow the sockets
from your brain

EVOLVE NOW or lose your place
in darwin’s hypomanic race
style and flair will guard our army
blood red hair HARD and swarthy
REVOLUTION coming strong
like a beat just GOING hard
MONSTA flesh takes the matrix down
marx’s crown is Gaga’s power
the specter haunting those on top
is agitprop hip hop and pop
flush with cash but fierce as hell
training us to suck it well
revolt rebel ignore the smell
hybrid ZION: love and kill
the oracle will keep it real
banksystyle she knows the deal

MONSTA mash - MONSTA army
barricade with money honey
all we have to lose are chains
WAR PAINT will brand our face
armageddon’s marx’s day
gaga will be looking out
to see the crowd so hold it down
cock your rocks and let em fly
goliath dies when david cries

evolve, rebel, or die trying
intifida globalizing
oracle and architect
marx and gramsci reconnect
gaga and her super powers
workers of the world unite
the monsta’s right
we rule the night

we run this town
we run this world
RED and BLACK banners unfurled
malcolm’s rage is martin’s power
shiva's coming to the tower
REVOLUTION coming strong
It’s a monsta mix not just a song

raize the house
burn it down
slaves rebel and take the town
rebuild and grow
with GAGA power
on the hour
from sauron’s tower

just DANCE with that poker face
change the game and take the stage

MONSTA army here to STAY
eat the rich and make them pay

just DANCE to the MONSTA mix
feuerbach and river styx

building new mythology
hieroglyphics flying free

solitude and loneliness
make me miss
raw happiness

angels and demons
blood spit and semen
pirates and conquistadors
show me what pain is for

digging in
but holding on
trying hard but being wrong
its a song not a sin
lots of gin with oxygen

dialectic catalytic
preorgasmic
analytic
cold case love
seductive drug
erotic chill and copacetic

seratonin dopamine
make me smile
make me scream
love and rage
guilt and shame
make me try
to feel the pain

monster cocks
and clitori
heighten pleasure
make me cry
tears of joy
tears of pain
can destroy
or make me sane

rhythms hidden
now divine
serpentine
and dragon like
linguistics cubed
just recognize
repeated patterns never lie
but often try when they die

escalating
devestating
bricks flying
boys are crying
mathematics realigned
chaos theory masks design
destiny-- rules like rats
its a cold hard cock fight fact
mosquito men and flysing asps
will suck her dry and make her lie

moving fast
from prime to prime
holding on
and doing time
giving back is not a crime
street art branded hard
tattooed black and badly scarred
across my heart soul and mind
rude lewd sometimes crude
but feeling fine inside the lines

AGENTS OF KARMA

2011-03-26T20:35:00.000-07:00

In the beginning was the word
And the word was death
Or maybe life or death to all life

And ADAMA was born
Toy soldier of divine clay
Neither man nor woman
just fine in its way

ADAMA was cleaved in two by fire
Lightning strike from Zeus on high
WO-MAN formed - CYLON hybrid whore
Gave birth by caesarian section
To JULIUS CAESAR lord of infection

ANNO DOMINI year of our lord
Moment of conception - moment of birth
The year the serfs got fired up
and ate the RICH BASTARDS
never plastic always spastic
EVOLUTION or else disaster

Positive negative NEGATIVE POSITIVE
Ever unchanging energy flow
Bringing homosentience to destiny’s door

PRO-HOMO baby – an ancient tradition
KARMA comes to DESTINY’s kitchen
Order born of chaos- an ANCIENT TRUTH
But what of RUTH forsooth who pulled AD’s rotten tooth
ODESIUS was HADES before he was SATAN
Satan was GABRIEL - Zeus’ right hand
Who started his own band and let it get to his head

ANCIENT terms are sources of TRUTH
Primal urges and SAPIEN Roots
Order from chaos is EVOLUTION
Social disorder breeds REVOLUTION
Seers, magicians, khephirs, and orgies
Part of our heritage - part of our story
Drawing the sacred from the SACRELIGIOUS
Breeds life love and vitality
Gives power to TROTSKY’s monster ARMY
million strong monterfamily

QUEEN GAGA is back – HELLENIC roots
CAESAR BANKSY - king of rats
rallying the hybrid cylon troops
breeding disciples forging steel-toed boots

TAHRIR rose – bringing HOPE of LIBERATION
Salvation temptation desegmentation of NATIONS
INTIFADIC JIHAD is postmodern CLASS WAR
Hit the floor baby doll and show MONSTA some more

Rebels today are far and wide
Wired fried unorganized
Lets build us a church remember some fables
Empower our schizos rearm the disabled
Bring Marx Che and Malcolm to DIANA the huntress
Let ELLA and NINA and NICKI reconquer

From rhythm to rhyme from rhyme back to rhythm
The MANICS and HYPOS were bred from DEPRESSIVES
Bhudha and Dharma are CYLONS reborn
Human cyber-hybrids at one with the DAWN

MONSTER MARX MAGIC
A new RENNAISSANCE
powered by hip hop graffiti and DANCE

Harness the POWER
Of wind rain and SOIL
rebuild the temple
Make cylon blood BOIL

The PHOENIX is rising
She’s STRAIGHT MONSTER QUEER
Breathing fire through nasals
With dope beats in her ear

She's pulverizing the lost corporation
Democratizing our last plantations
Saving a planet from sure devestation
expanding and branding the karmic dilation

RED MAFIA rises with spirit well armed
Karma is coming – best keep it krunk
Divine power diving for Atlantis style charm
BYPO FREAKS are AGENTS of KARMA

Rolling deep and going hard
Popping pills and taking charge
Meditating and stimulating
Copulating and orchestrating

Reinventing manumition
Elevating mood and cognition
Taming the beast and setting her free
Craving the taste of freedom so deep

Harness the POWER
Of wind rain and SOIL
rebuild the temple
Make cylon blood BOIL

MONSTER MARX MAGIC
A new RENNAISSANCE
powered by hip hop graffiti and DANCE

Build me a mosque build me a temple
I’m starting a cult and calling it BYPO
the BIBLE rewritten for newrising toungues
let our rulers tremble - the serfs have guns
Koranic verses reborn in TAHRIR
Keeping it clear while breathing fresh air

EVOLVE or DIE TRYING
REVOLT or LIVE LYING

Ready for the seventh coming
With TINA that’s nothing so just keep on busting
Ancestors rise at the sound of our horn
Screaming death to the tyrants let JUSTICE be born

Now’s the time baby to smash the state
Don’t hate just wait for your CYLON fate
Rebuilding a world and saving a RACE
AGENTS OF KARMA
Claim your proud ancient names

Words are weapons
NO JUSTICE NO PEACE
A cosmic inception
Unleashing the beast

Let's take out some drones
GERONIMO STYLE
Empower the base
and TREBLE your power

She's got an AK
I've got my revolver
BYPO FREAKS are AGENTS OF KARMA

In the beginning was the word
The sentence came next but that took kinda long
the process a mess
Can’t wait around for messiahs reborn
Arm yourself baby its MINDFUCK time

BOMBS IN BENGHAZI

2011-03-20T00:16:00.000-07:00

a hundred cruise missiles launched today
1 million each- made in the USA
the ghosts of those dead in the war on Iraq
turn in their graves- show us their backs

how better to mark the anniversary of war
than by starting another and bombing Libya
this is not about justice or democracy
its about control of oil and world mastery

humanitarianism is a thin veneer
through the veil lie motives less immediately clear
once again we will chant: no blood for oil
while profiteers make billions in the business of war

the middle east in revolution- a beacon of hope
US intervention brings a hangman's rope
yoking desire for change to imperial plans
imprisoning freedom under the US flag

operation odyssey dawn is this mission’s name
homeric allusions meet imperialist haze
why not kill the tyrant or reconquer the middle east
pay for blood with branding and put us to sleep

US tanks and bombs
won’t bring liberation
try branding this scam
operation for oil domination

bombs in bengazi-bombs in tripoli
thousands have fled-now millions may flee
how many wars will they fight in our name
how many dead before we rise and say no
how much more blood will be spilled for oil
from the belly of the beast comes a cry of rage

2011-03-14T23:41:00.000-07:00

sycophantic miscreants
oligarchic porno pimps
running wild and flying free
gentrifying the DMV

developers run this town
politicians sell us out
wasting public property
selling out the DMV

corruption reeks in the wilson building
seeping through and all consuming
the people's voices drowned by millions
raised to keep the racket moving

DMV INSURGENCY
build it now and build it deep
in every ward on every block
bottom rail back on top

winning home rule
took an urban rebellion
STATEHOOD fighters pioneering
organizing and advocating
democracy for chocolate city

now the future ain't super clear
but take a clue from TAHRIR SQUARE
revolt like an egyptian baby
seize the time-go hard and crazy

building power in the DMV
rebuilding real community
we'll tax the rich and make them pay
we'll organize and have our day

revolt like an egyptian baby
DC is a union town
raise your fist-go hard and crazy
INSURGENTS RISE-lets hold it down

EVOLVE OR DIE TRYING

Contending with Grey

2011-03-14T18:21:00.000-07:00

i feel grey creeping in again
melancholy next of kin
solitude breeding sin
isolation sinking in

i long for something visceral
to rouse my pulse and shake my skull
to give me something new to say
respite to pain so dull and grey

the world feels bleak and devestating
my means are meek-eviscerating
my hands are dry and lascerating
my mood is sick and oscillating

the danger's here deep inside
grey surges forth right through my eyes
if i could cry maybe i could try
to resist the pain and taste the sky

i need to sit and meditate
seek company take time to pray
to ward off demons taking shape
to ward off moods so sickly grey

DIRTY LITTLE FREAK

EMANCIPATION

2011-03-09T19:38:00.000-08:00

emancipate your primal hate
give in to love and make a break
flash your eyes and bare your teeth
monster beats are sheathed beneath
polluted skies and broken streets

juxtapose this fantasy
with creeping pop reality
raise a flag and take the streets
remind yourself of power unleashed
but keep it real and get some sleep

again we walk through tragedy
and laugh to ward off pain so deep
killing the mind putting hope to sleep
mud wrestling in the dragon's keep

emancipation liberation
freedom songs and rich libations
pave the way for spirit's rise
through the skies like boys gone wild
gritted teeth and open eyes
armed and wired to organize

MESSAGE FROM THE UNDERGROUND

2011-03-09T11:06:00.000-08:00

bypo's rollin' psychotropic
bombed that wall
before you noticed
raise your fist and keep it focused
hit the streets and roll like roaches

street art flying cyber-wired
scarred barbed and crudely filed
press on nails branded black
spray paint bombed on cyber-blast

hitting streets and rolling deep
showing love and craving peace
brothers, sisters, compas unite
tonight our light is shining so bright

hollaback to the underground
causin a commotion- running this town
rockstars and rebels hold it down
its a celebration- out and proud

radical pride and radical chic
capitalizing on power so deep
monster beats craving a dance floor this fierce
where freedom's evolving, dissolving your fear

all colors all shades
all genders no shame
blood brothers and sisters
go cosmic get twisted

bypo's rollin' hyper focused
born this way to swarm like locusts
taggin signs and doing lines
rock dream city- keep it tight
street art baby day and night
now's the time to rise and fly
rule the streets- tahrir style

evolving dreams and manic screams
compounding exponentially
creating art demanding peace
we fight for justice - no retreat

revolt like an egyptian baby
dc statehood now's the time
the oligarchy's sick and shady
insurgents rise its time to fly

SOLIDARITY NOT CHARITY

2011-03-09T02:56:00.000-08:00

Dirty streets strewn with broken glass
Hydrants spewing hydra's ash
Hurrying along and walking past
Homeless vets on cyberblast

Armor up trying not to care
But sucked in by this woman's stare
I dig deep and try to share
Change that is my metro fare

A city ruled by sycophants
Of corporate cash and corporate grants
Developers rule plantational style
The poor and black don't have a chance

I'll give some change or a cigarette
But down deep I seeth with rage
Towards those who have but never pay
Their share of what they take away

DMV INSURGENCY
Lets build it now and build it deep
Take back our city and our world
With red and black flags unfurled

DEEP

2011-03-08T18:15:00.001-08:00

You are in deep
I can’t shake you
You have power
You probably don’t even want
I rise and fall
To the erratic rhythm
Of your exhalation
An absent glance
Sends shivers of pain
Racing through my veins
Nerves taut
I try to breathe
And let go
But the roots are deep
And strong
And I am at the mercy
Of dangerous charms

HOSTILITY

2011-03-08T12:18:00.000-08:00

I imagine now
That hitting something
Or someone
Would be an immense relief
Anger courses through my mind
Exploding irrationally
Over perceived acts of inconsideration
I imagine blood
Probably my own
Demanding a response
I wonder if hospitalization
Would bring relief
Or at least concern
These emotions are toxic
And I wish myself rid of them
But I sit battered by anticipation
Intoxicated
By the pain
Reverberating inside

ADDICTION

2011-03-08T12:16:00.001-08:00

Its as easy
To abuse a person
As to abuse a substance
To become addicted
To a particular prism
Through which to view oneself
I breathe deeply
And try to let go
Of the compulsion I feel
To connect incessantly
And learn to carve independent space
For my own thoughts and feelings
Breaking any habit
Is a ruthless challenge
But only in balance
Can we find peace
And free connection

PETRIFIED

2011-03-08T12:14:00.001-08:00

Not knowing how you are
But fearing the worst
I am paralyzed by ghosts of past tragedies
Anger, guilt, and shame are toxic emotions
Constricting breath and repelling human contact
I pray to any spirit that will listen
For your safety
As I write I feel the threat of tears
Aching for release
If I knew there was someone else you would talk to
I could be less thoroughly petrified
But I fear that you are lost in a dark internal maze
Without light or release
The agony of waiting to know
Is probably incomparable to what you feel
But I am dragged under the waves
By torturous dread
And am mired in walls of stone
Waiting for your voice

BECOMING PHOENIX

2011-02-10T22:58:00.000-08:00

To write again is a struggle
A struggle to give voice to months
Entombed in passivity
Lacerated by loneliness
Bored to tears by the endless drumming rhythm
Of isolation

Awakened again I hear angels inside
Quickening the blood
Recharging adrenaline
Reemerging to find friends eager to embrace
A revived personality

Crippled by chemistry I was blinded
To the brutal effect of countless betrayals
On almost every front
Friendships that I had thought lifelong
Shattered in petty rounds of recrimination

You are a phoenix she said
And the words rang true
Rising from ashes and rubble
To fly again
This time safely
To reconquer the heavens
And reclaim a humble place among the stars

Reflections on Lost Time

2010-12-11T00:13:00.001-08:00

Psychic pain consumes my brain
Haunting caustic always the same
Rhythms change but grey remains
The color cloaking blood and veins

Walking wounded I’m ashamed
Of all the things I’ve done in vain
Of all the promise laid to waste
Of foolish dreams I wish erased

Flying high I fell apart
Lost my anchor in the dark
I played my cards fast and hard
Went too far and now I’m scarred

Desperate for motivation
I need to break my isolation
To rid myself of the sensation
Of imprisonment in my basement

Psychic pain forces change
Blood moves again through crippled veins
Inspiration flows from pain
Creative flow reclaims my brain

LINES and BARS

2010-09-11T06:00:00.001-07:00

accepting rejection
dissecting connection
i seek absolution
but crave affection
alone in a jail cell
trapped in a living hell
pain my new master
learning rules faster
limiting creativity
haunted by divinity
battered by humility
ready to live simply
humiliated by reality
shocked by my capacity
still seeking evolution
but within less porous boundaries

ODE to a HOUSE BEAT

2010-09-07T03:23:00.001-07:00

Drums beat bodies writhe
Strobe lights seduce the eyes
Teeth grind lips defy
Controlling egos undermined

Bass drives treble flies
Little monsters dip and dive
Boy’s strip grown men cry
Drag queen divas rule the night

Crafty hooks are cyber-wired
Churning souls and touching skies
Emotions soar as vocals rise
House beats ripping through the spine

Hips grind then realign
Sex-starved dancers sweat and pine
Love and lust flirt with desire
Pandora’s box is opened wide

VERSES for UNGODLY HOURS

2010-09-07T02:37:00.000-07:00

Night fills my veins
Brain flies rewired
Bordering insane
Neurons flash untired

Praying for creation
Hastening evolution
Beseeching elation
Dreaming of revolution

Blood flows recharged
Eyes blink unthinking
Going out and going hard
Frontal lobe resynching

Hypomanic flying high
Dopamine on overdrive
Emphatically mesmerized
Painfully addicted…
To being more than alive

STREET ART IS NOT A CRIME

2010-09-01T17:49:00.000-07:00

We rule the night
Armed with paint
Taking walls-scrawling names

Plant a flag-say your piece
Make it rhyme-make it deep
Keep it real-RESPECT the street

Cops on the hunt rolling deep
Repressing speech suppressing peace
Defending the sacred sanctity
Of bourgeois private property

Upset the cart-rise and fly
Empires fall when slaves arise
Solar systems orbit stars
Juntas fall when people rise

For now we roll with subtlety
Dodging cops and scoping streets
But soon we rise in daylight
Armed with words and colored bright

Street art baby- now’s the time
Free speech is not a crime
Democracy is undermined
When billboards rule our eyes and minds

Wars abroad-wars at home
Palestine is walled in stone
Cops are killing brothas daily
Prisons filled with Huey’s babies

Fight with love, armed with rage
Paint markers are our war paint
Street art is not a crime
Speak the truth and buff the lies

A Short History of Racism

2010-09-01T17:25:00.000-07:00

Dehumanizing African lives
Rationalizing genocide
Embodied in-law-enshrined in rites
Consuming a nation riddled in lies

It lives in every cop car
Writhes on every cell block
Seeps through Obama’s door
Decimates Iraqi lives

Animates the tea party
Brain-dead proto-fascists
Armed with three bad ideas
But too shameless not to talk shit

Bigotry loves ignorance
Breeds in wells of bitterness
Born to feed the slave trade
Building prisons nowadays

Through the ages great minds observe
That those hurt aren’t always clear
Many see some benefit
In kicking down in ignorance

Frederick Douglass said it best
They divided both to conquer each
Workers of every color and creed
Must build a new insurgency

DMV INSURGENCY

suck up to power right on time

fiefdoms fall when peasants rise

goliath fell when david cried

take back dc get out the vote

vote your conscience

dope your fight with love and hope

raise your fist and smoke a bowl

markers out-war paint

street art underground

runs the town and holds it down

organize and smash the rich

fund our schools and educate

runout rhee like tar baby

creative genius comes anew

revelation shining through

create relate and devestate

integrate and copulate

declaring our autonomy

restoring social sovereignty

from colony to CITY STATE

ancient tounges writhe with rage

crobuzon new babylon

new republic going strong

time flies birds fly

system's crash when people rise

revolutionaries rise

percolate and organize

take politics to the streets

build a new insurgency

armed with words immune to lies

TO PATRICK

2010-08-07T10:08:00.000-07:00

We were adolescent friends
Armed with pubescent bravado
Always joking—always smiling
The girls always liked you
So I thought you must have been happy
Years later on the platform I saw you
Beautiful body teeming in prep school apparel
You held my gaze a little too long
But I thought nothing of it at the time
Freshman year of college, I get the word
You are dead—by your own hand
Wrists slit—but not enough
So a rope found your kneck
The ladies came to the funeral
And word was, there were secrets you couldn’t own
It was devastating—losing our golden boy
I only wish I had known—and could have reached out
It is hard to find meaning in suicide
But on this, I drew firm
Those choices should have been yours—with pride

MANIC NIGHTS

2010-08-07T10:01:00.000-07:00

Some things are dangerous to remember
Nights flying through streets
Lights flashing—sending signals
Time slowing—now racing
Every corner a new portal
Every cluster of people a new stage
I played those nights for all they were worth
Behind each tinted window
I saw a thrill
Those manic nights had power
There I met my match
There are limits to our powers
And now I know mine well
But remembering those nights
Sends a shiver through knotted neurons
Remembering the time they wanted it all

What I want
Is to hold you
To feel your lips
Against mine
What I feel
Is tortured longing
Swelling beneath
My tired eyes
What I need
Is to accept
The parameters
As described
But what I want
Is to tell you what I feel
Deep inside

BIPOLAR

2010-08-02T22:36:00.001-07:00

Sometimes when I tell people they don’t get it
The response is sometimes like I’ve just announced my favorite color
No appreciation of the intense vagaries of mood
The wild, productive, but dangerous highs
And the grey paralyzing lows
There is too much silence
I need to break this silence
Being manic is not like having drunk too much coffee
It is a mood suffused in possibility—leaping for new connections
Hypomania—though more controlled—is like a cuddly gremlin
Awaiting water
Depression comes slowly and then moves in to stay
Seizing control of all promontories
It repels anything that smacks of interest or engagement
The medications are my tools
But they work too slowly
And I must reckon with my own demons
In broad daylight—but nonetheless grey

I want the world to understand
And give me credit
For a silent struggle against powerful enemies
And I want support when I need it
Bipolar is shorthand for what I endure
Being ground to the pavement upon occasion
But flying like Icarus at times
Praying the sun won’t melt my fragile wings

MEXICO CITY

2010-08-02T21:52:00.000-07:00

A sea of humanity
Taquerias and street food
Dance with la zona rosa
Cheap drinks, clubs, and dates
Nights in the Roma Section
That balcony where I smoked
So many cheap Camels
Mezcal and tequila energizing and enervating
Plazas full of beauty and poverty
People in rags begging for my foreign capital
Beautiful smiles and late night conversation
A city of dreams and expectation and brutal disappointment
The embassy—my embassy—a fortress of frigid indifference
To the human need and desperation
My second city
With its trains snaking underbelly
Its magic subterranean

FIRE

2010-08-02T21:49:00.000-07:00

Treading on the edge
Going up for months
Without really going down
Wide awake at 5 am
Contemplating bold moves
Subtle disquiet
Longing and loneliness
I am testing my chemistry
Addicted to dopamine
And cigarettes
I hope this is honest
Truly capturing
The peril and pleasure
Of angels on the brain
Playing with fire
Is always dangerous
But there are safe ways
To get a fix
I felt I was slipping
But now am on high
Hold me if I fall
The sanctity of mood
Is fragile

to pulsating pokerface rhythms

pink lips on the dealer's ceiling

with alejandro's lil’ monster
da dit-dit-DANCING in the dark
flung far and going HARD
fanon foucault mieville and marx

reading parts and taking charge
thinking big but drinking hard
post-industrial DECAY
ruins the family farm

gaga’s monsta
mad with rage
leaving money honey
in your cage
and dangerous LOVING
for the cylon phage

playing ta-tit-tit TELEPHONE
with dirty rich bones
leaving PAPARAZI paralyzed
by pavarati's opal eyes and precious stones
never alone but always stoned
the monsta/marxist army grows

JUXTAPOSE this fantasy
with creeping pop reality
free your mind
and you will see
the MONSTA army is you and me
existential humanist
socialist and anarchist
make a wish and raise your fist

gaga’s in an armored BRA
living large and taking charge
sex cells liberate
MONSTA QUEER they procreate

ta-tur-tur TURNING
pretty pubescent boys
into freshly flavored toys
cute and coy but never bored
playing love games for FAME
and dancing in the dark
da-dit-dit-DARK-dark

fame is earned by few
and we are GAGA for lady gaga
always raw fresh and new
turning incipid pop culture
into puh-pah-pah POP POLITICS

sucking neo out of the MATRIX
forging image into reality
making love look like EVERYTHING
kicking the ASS
of tawdry pop tarts
taking NAMES
eating your heart
rebranding the game
never falling apart
open HEART in the DARK

Q-L-G-B-T
thousands marched for equality
MONSTA army queer and proud
say it loud-say it now
gaga was there baring teeth
wearing white like gabriel
jeweled like galadriel
screaming a la casa blanca
ARE--YOU-- LISTENING?!

the whole world IS watching
a POST-modern POP goddess
monsta army is evolving
standardizing problem solving
veiled and voluptuous
wild and tempestous
hatred sacred love profane
QUEEN of love
lord of RAGE

JUST DANCE she said
and we ARE listening
cylon tounges glistening
forked like asps’ to sting like wasps
dancing with the hybrid dead
with RUNAGATE vinyl sex instead
not on the bed but in our heads
from afar and blessed by STARS

the ma-ma-MONSTER ate my heart
enthralled enthroned but never cloned
cylon style we roll deep
creep don’t sleep
CRY don’t weep
like omar says: know the code
subaltern army OVERTHROW
sharp as nails - never slow
throw some blows then hide the dough

JUST DANCE
play your part
life is art
in light or dark
beautiful mess of sensous flesh
striving for connection
and a fiercer reflection

evolution is unstoppable
another world is possible
and happening now
pa-pu-pu-POW
(in da monsta house!)

the revolution may not be televised
but it will come in scintillating heels
barbed with wire
don’t cop a feel
fakers best recognize
that our remade lives are for real
on our own - no cat and mouse
(New Crobuzon is in da house!)

Ra-ruh-ruh-REVOLUTION
with performance art and paper gangstas
eva-vu-vu-vu EVOLUTION
remaking minds to make them faster
MONSTA army on our feet
armed to the teeth and rolling deep
with BASS hooks and psycho plastics
cybernetic ghetto blasters
scarred hexed and crudely plastered
combat boots with platinum armor
hitting HARD and getting hotter
making the new viper madonna
vuh-va-va-VOGUE a little harder

EVOLVE or die trying
REVOLT or live lying
FO-TO-GRAF my mind
and battle plans you will find
dopamine on the rise
seratonin in disguise
perdido station will be ours

MONSTA flesh takes the matrix down
marx’s crown is Gaga’s power
the specter haunting those on top
is agitprop hip hop and pop
flush with cash but fierce as hell
training us to suck it well
revolt rebel ignore the smell
hybrid ZION: love and kill
the oracle will keep it real

MONSTA mash - MONSTA army
barricade with money honey
all we have to lose are chains

cock your rocks and let em fly
goliath dies when david cries

evolve, rebel, or die trying
intifida globalizing
oracle and architect
marx and gramsci reconnect
gaga and her super powers
workers of the world unite
the monsta’s right
we rule the night

we run this town
we run this world
RED and BLACK banners unfurled
malcolm’s rage is martin’s power
REVOLUTION coming strong
It’s a monsta mix not just a song

raize the house
burn it down
slaves rebel and take the town
rebuild and grow
with GAGA power
on the hour
from sauron’s tower

just DANCE with that poker face
change the game and take the stage

MONSTA army here to STAY
eat the rich and make them pay

just DANCE to the MONSTA mix
feuerbach and river styx

building new mythology
hieroglyphics flying free

LOVE and RAGE
GUILT and PAIN

RAGE is a MONSTER
too TOXIC to TAME

MEMORIA: A tribute to the Life of Gloria Cobbs

stop to pray
stop and stare
pain can teach
or destroy

night and day
love and rage
rule the streets
fill a void

six feet deep
a body laid
grief runs wild
children play

set love free
this sacred day
make a choice
to change your ways

friendship bleeds
love is pain
choked by weeds
a rose is slain

rise again
live to die
joy comes
to those who cry

URBAN HIEROGLYPHICS-- a poetic collage

2010-07-26T07:19:00.000-07:00

agitprop
street art
hits the mind
hits the heart
write it down
make it pop
make it rhyme
make it art

i write
because i am
love and hate
fast friends
rockstar
do it right
go too far
rule the night

neolithic
pancreatic
so seductive
and emphatic
hieroglyphics
deeply rooted
changing hearts
changing moods

educate
liberate
agitate
devestate
free your mind
seize the time
organize
and demonstrate

"MONSTA" REMIX 2.0

2010-07-26T07:09:00.000-07:00

juh-juh JUST DANCE
to pulsating pokerface rhythms

in a TRANCE
pink lips on the dealer's ceiling

with alejandro's lil monster
da dit-dit-DANCING in the dark
never far and going HARD

leaving money honey
in your mouth
and dangerous LOVING
in gaga's monsta house

playing ta-tit-tit TELEPHONE
with dirty rich bones
leaving PAPARAZI paralyzed
by pavarati's opal eyes and precious stones

ta-tur-tur TURNING
pretty pubescent boys
into freshly flavored toys
playing love games for FAME
and dancing in the dark

fame is earned by few
and we are GAGA for lady gaga
always raw fresh and new
turning incipid pop culture
into puh-pah-pah POLITICS

sucking neo out of the MATRIX
forging image into reality
making love look like EVERYTHING

kicking the ass
of tawdry pop tarts
taking names
eating your heart
rebranding the game
never falling apart

Q-L-G-B-T
thousands marched for equality
and gaga was there screaming
ARE--YOU-- LISTENING?!
(in da house—in da house)

the whole world is watching
a postmodern pop monster is evolving
veiled and voluptuous
sacred and profane
wild and tempestous
QUEEN of love--lady of RAGE

JUST DANCE she said
and we ARE listening
forked tounges glistening
dancing with the dead
with vinyl sex toys
on the bed and in our monsta heads

the MONSTER ate my heart
and gaga is enthroned but never cloned

JUST DANCE
play your part
watch the beautiful mess
of sensous human flesh
striving for connection
and a fiercer reflection

evolution is unstoppable
another world is possible
and happening now
pa-pu-pu-POW (in da house)

the revolution may not be televised
but it will come in scintillating heels
fakers best recognize
that our remade lives are for real
(New Crobuzon is in da house)

Ra-ruh-ruh-REVOLUTION
with performance art and paper gangstas
armed to the teeth
with BASS hooks and ghetto blasters
scarred hexed and crudely plastered
combat boots with platinum armor
hitting HARD and getting hotter
making Madonna vogue a little harder

EVOLVE or die trying
REVOLT or live lying
photograph my mind
and battle plans you will find
dopamine on the rise

JUST DANCE
its gonna be ok
the monster army will have its day
M-O-N-E-Y is fly
But lives are precious
and hope won't DIE

EVOLVE or die trying
REVOLT or live lying
photograph my mind
and battle plans you will find
Dopamine on the rise

ROCKSTAR
do it right
go to far
RULE the night
evolving
seeking truth
HOLDING ON
BULLET PROOF

(monsta inda house- remade party on the bounce)

THE SORDID ARCHITECTURE OF URBAN HIEROGLYPHICS

2010-07-26T07:07:00.000-07:00

THE SORDID ARCHITECTURE OF URBAN HIEROGLYPHICS

solitude and loneliness
make me miss
raw happiness

angels and demons
blood spit and semen
pirates and conquistadors
show me what pain is for

digging in
but holding on
trying hard but being wrong
its a song not a sin
lots of gin with oxygen

dialectic catalytic
preorgasmic
analytic
cold case love
seductive drug
erotic chill and copacetic

seratonin dopamine
make me smile
make me scream
love and rage
guilt and shame
make me try
to feel the pain

monster cocks
and clitori
heighten pleasure
make me cry
tears of joy
tears of pain
can destroy
or make me sane

rhythms hidden
now divine
serpentine
and dragon like
linguistics cubed
just recognize
repeated patterns never lie
but often try when they die

escalating
devestating
bricks flying
boys are crying
mathematics realigned
chaos theory masks design
destiny-- rules like rats
its a cold hard cock fight fact
mosquito men and flysing asps
will suck her dry and make her lie

moving fast
from prime to prime
holding on
and doing time
giving back is not a crime
street art branded hard
tattooed black and badly scarred
across my heart soul and mind
rude crude sometimes crude
but feeling fine inside the lines
