Box

Take a nap to rest your eyes,

Wake up early task to despise,

Long drive ahead leave at sunrise,

Alarm clock set time to retire,

A box of cardboard the cat's desire,

Oh I rub my paws it makes noise,

Scratch my face and play with toys,

Here she comes my buddy and pal,

Sit next to me sit for a while,

I lick your neck you lick mine too,

Oops made you mad nothing I could do,

Oh hey look out that's my master's face,

Don't jump there it's not a race,

Look what you did you silly kitty,

Cut that lip and nose what a pity,

Hey come back he didn't seem to notice,

I think you're in the clear he's lost focus,

He'll wake up and wonder what the hell happened,

Perhaps a ninja or Nazi combatant,

He'll go to the hospital and try to explain,

Strange looks and gestures they'll think he's insane,

Monkeys from space they launched an attack,

Armed with toothpicks to poke and whack,

Or maybe I was assaulted by a bear,

Carried off in it's beak back to it's lair,

My bear has a beak and nasty claws of steel,

He ripped off my nose for his aromatic meal,

Sir I've heard enough it's obvious to see,

You cut yourself and are playing games with me,

Leave at once or I'll go upside your head,

Madness exists in all that I've said,

Or is it madness to be alive but dead

Body Count

When I think back to days of old,

Attention short and temper bold,

Drawn toward pixel and sword,

Mystify with mutant ninja horde,

Then one day a spy I play,

The golden gun to target prey,

Combat friends in close proximity,

Detonate bombs to cause calamity,

Fast forward to the brothers smash,

Charge a blast or eat real fast,

Grab a hammer to beat them down,

A simple star to crush a town,

Incoming attack from outer space,

A giant ring threatens human race,

Strap on your boots its not a drill,

Snipe elites one shot one kill,

And at the end of it all I sit and laugh,

Body count rising my unquenchable wrath

Era

Born into the last chapter,

Soon the story ends no ever after,

Slip through the rafters of time,

Misplaced pinpoint so fine,

Exist am I a grain of sand,

Descend my glass as fast as I can,

Speeding down snowball mountain,

Journey cold but I'm still counting,

Track and trace every little mistake,

Perhaps forsake the guilt useless to make,

If I had my choice I'd live much sooner,

Possibly a time worship the sun or lunar,

A simple day filled with hunt and foray,

No digital head shots I have beasts to slay,

Live to protect and keep enemies at bay,

But these illusions cloud current delusions,

Confusing at times but I prefer the chaos,

For this is my era wherever it may take us

Out of Reach

Leaves me breathless to see,

Intangible it seems to be,

The motions always capture me,

Effortlessly stuck in the loop,

Hear the soft voice to swoop,

Power in a whisper cold trance,

Perhaps chance invokes dance,

But look closer where it grows,

Spawning free and out it goes,

Sunder armor with faint echoes,

A wound to blend among the woes,

I wait for those times to close,

Snap the dragon before the fire,

Cage and key freeze heart desire,

Morning thaw rehash so raw,

The stage is empty but I'm glad I saw

Balance

Who is the phantom behind the mask,

A dark figure haunting grim task,

The shadow watches ever so eager,

Views all life as shallow and meager,

Isn't it futile the voice must whisper,

Battle the taunts but they seep through crisper,

Close your eyes to see their heart,

It's in the darkness the evil must start,

From the void the taint emerges,

Wicked tongue spill sordid surges,

To uncover this demon I must look deeper,

Is it really me or a dark passenger,

Clawing inside ferocious with laughter,

How fortunate it seems equally to me,

The hero within can overcome easily,

Always a step ahead and waiting to strike,

And when the evil might seem to conquer,

The good inside slowly grows stronger,

Standing atop a mountain of morals,

The hero casts down his righteous quarrel,

And to the end two sides exist,

Infinite balance but the struggle persists

Mountain

Drift into the other world,

Unleash desire witness unfurled,

Pierce the illusion to take control,

Is this my body or a glimpse into soul,

Strange nostalgia although alien,

I've seen you before if I'm not mistaken,

Tread on roads through infinity infinitely,

We stop to appreciate the view from above,

Pulled away far too soon it's never enough,

Awaken reality but hang onto the memory,

Replay it vividly but simply not the same,

Where once I existed and surely was gifted,

Is now a vague piece to this immaculate design,

Pulled apart with precision to bestow this vision,

An incision so clever no lack of regard,

Tumble faster through these tunnels toward,

An invisible truth on the top of the mountain,

Sacred in silence serene as silken fountain,

Carry the weight of the world but still climbing,

Slowly I get closer to the peak inviting,

I lay my hand on the pinnacle expect revelation,

Meaning of life perhaps or divine intervention,

But the rock is cold and dead no message is said,

I try to awake but fail to release from slumber,

As it would seem the clock strikes a familiar number,

The distant chime to signal and beckon,

Forever I sleep never to see the world again

Medicine

Once again time for my medicine,

Make sure to administer with care,

Savor each morsel not a bit to spare,

Must repair jagged nerves filled despair,

Pins and needles tickles raw skin,

Body says stop but mind won't give in,

Driven to madness but no reparation,

This process is numb ignore everyone,

Microchip implant to upgrade brain,

Hands are pistons pump precision no pain,

Scan the horizon for valid information,

Input the data with a familiar routine,

Engraved bar-codes riddle my flesh and vein,

Malfunction surge this directive purge,

Organism found parasitic must terminate,

The virus burrowed deep but far too late,

Found before it seemed to settle,

Soundly tore the flesh from metal,

Critical fail life-source growing frail,

Vital signs dark must diagnose,

The familiar virus clarity arose,

Remnants of humanity I suppose,

Sabotaged this form now end seems close,

Administer medicine for one final dose
