Kill Switch

     Go on,

Go on and press it,

Press the damned switch and let it be done,

Let it all be done unto Earth as it is in heaven,

     As that’s what they preach

That’s what they preach!

Where does she go between the hours

My loins and longings no longer request her

Company?

Hello guys, I have a poem here that I have entered. It makes reference to space and distant galaxies and such, so I have included the latest track I have produced to go alongside it. It doesn't have any vocals to the track and is only there to add to the experience of the piece. I hope you like both the track and the poem.

A Violent Snub

So, 

You believe in God do you?

And state that all existence is down to karma,

In your eyes, if you are the recipient of bad luck,

It is Karma. 

For the child that had his face torn open

By a Machette in Rwanda, It is karma.

For the refugees of Iraq that cannot scream f...

To Dust

How I walk, 
How I stumble, fall 
Then gather my senses,
Get up and stride again,
     only,
     only,
Now I see the dead before me,
Slouching, crawling,
Staring and vacant,
Their last look of fear
Tells all; Quatermass
Be once again upon us.

Ghosts,
Ghosts of Mars extinguish
All life, and I see them too,
The same vacant look upon
A grotesque and disfigured face,

Live On – Awake Till Death

Aye Aye Aye

So what are you dreaming,

What visions are keeping you entertained night, and day??

Loved ones, hated ones - winning ones - losing ones.

What’s on your mind?

That’s what ‘they’ want to know!

That’s the secret see, keeping it to yourself,

Keeping it all to yourself,

Hello you guys, please see the art in this before labelling it grandiose.

Best wishes from Noetix.

Never A Lie,

     Never a Lie!

     I like it so – when things are natural,

When we don’t need ask what comes next between us,

When we latch each other’s gaze and never look away

When our union ventures the psychic realm -

     And we know,

We know the love ...

21 Grams

     What is this thing we bare upon the World,

What exactly is housed between skin, bone, muscle and blood?

Is it something we know is inherently good,

     Or is it there just to deceive,

To trick and cajole,

     And imbue -

Sad lonely wishes?

Dr Duncan MacDougall would have you believe,

In something more than carbon,

Something more than h20,

The Last Aurora

     I’m told

There is a future warrant

For my arrest,

A piece of paper

Drafted by the feds

To imprison a life they detest,

     And it doesn’t matter

I am human – full

With emotion and

A wanting to live

But they don’t forgive anything

Different.

     I’m an outsider,

A none belonging in a world

They only want you to conform,

An Interrogative

     Grateful,

They say we should all be grateful

     For this life,

     But I’m asking you,

     Pleading with you to admit

The truth;

Would you want to carry

All memories of this World –

     Unto the next?

     Further,

Are you given authority

To vet which memories stay

And which are lost in your future

Conscience?

Adventurous, Forthright, Calamitous, Old!

Speculating his worth to The Gods

Seeking only quandary he could beat

Becoming more and more apparent

Than the passive look in his eyes

His conviction knowing only

The one six three from Manchester to Bury -

Taking in all modern sights Ken Loach

And the Ward Brothers claim in fame,

Turning your ‘guts’ inside out

And provoking a whitey -

Dead On The Beat

     I could be a deadbeat,

I could be a deadbeat but,

The beat is dead before me,

I have marched,

Carried the weight of a world

That hates itself,

Human screams till death,

The noise of the kill

Like the radio that never

Goes away and remains

Constantly triggering

The pain inside your head,

Hey there fellow poets and writers, I know some of you may be a little miffed at my musical offerings, my wordage put to music, but I cannot seem to stop this kind of creativity. I guess it's in me. I just hope you don't get too upset by my wafflings. This track may have you crying, or laughing, either way, I hope it puts a smile on your face and that you enjoy it.

Beyond The Realms of Murder

     They paid their respects in their own way,

Not too far away from present time,

Their only trace they’d ever been,

They thought of them as primitive,

Giving little confidence in their successes,

Remarking,

     So slow, so slow

They progressed.

Upon higher council,

Time and time again

The case was argued for interventi...

Okay, you know me, slightly unorthodoxed at times. I want you to picture a man, a man with delusions of grandeur. He is, slightly off key and heading off askew as his mind goes kilter. That's the impression I am trying to give in this track. Yes it needs more work, but hopefully it will break up your day. You can laugh or cry, or just not listen if you wish. But all feedback greatly appreciated. I...

Tales of Love and Hate

     Some would say;

‘Losing, isn’t an option!’

But to cherish a victory,

You must first understand

The possibility of defeat,

     It’s a tough game

Where nothing is balanced

But if you play,

If you want the glory,

Be prepared to lose.

     It’s called Roulette,

And you can make a mint –

If your lucks in,

The Great Illusion

Are we here?

Are we here on this planet?

My guess is,

     You couldn’t be further from the truth!

A soldier knows a thing or two,

Each one has their tales,

And all,

      Face a point where time becomes

Meaningless,

Becomes saturated with guilt

For the life they had bestowed,

For none,

     In realization would choose

Wings

     Those walls could have been

A hundred feet tall,

No, a thousand feet

With every inch taken like breath,

And I’m sure the humility behind them,

The exhaustion to climb them,

Would take the deepest intake of air,

     Still,

No walls knew this man,

No walls could keep

Boundaries of forfeiture

To see the stars tumble

From looking on in despair,

The Dying

     There was a time,

Dawn brought promise

To a new day,

There was a time

When sleep would

Willingly bestow

The fresh face to see

The New Morning,

     In those days,

There was sunshine,

Rain, rainbows and seasons

Would appear on time -

Without prompt.

     A Spring was Spring

And a time of joy

With new hope,

Summer, was bless...

We’re staking our claim to this ball,

For it’s all become degraded

Material going back to soup,

A life-cycle finished

By greed and industry, commerce

But we’re making love in secret

While openly selling them war,

We’re all spunked in the head by dark forces at work.

     The Whispered Spite

     Voices,

They come and they go,

Boasting only an intoxication

Of the macabre,

     Their caterwaul

Their constant intrusions

Upon my every waking minute,

Inspire only a longing

For a premature grave,

     And it’s not that I have

Misdemeanour,

It’s not that I have thoughts

All who claim to know,

You’ll not want for war,

You’ll not want the macabre images

Too long wondering,

Too long with a frown that

Arcs across the brow

Worn upon a humbled

Daily States of Pain

Never knew how much I would suffer,

But disability always gets the better,

Always stops me in my tracks from progressing.

Different places that as a kid I only dreamed,

But my tours of the Persian Gulf

Beaten up too much

So much that I am punch-drunk,

Ain’t so much a technician

On the renditions of a song

Still,

I have left of me

The utterance of magic

That bereft of me

There’s still an ember

Still a decent thinking

I told you,

I warned you,

I gave the bearings of my soul,

Now it’s come to pass,

Everyone is caught within

The reckonings of the gods,

Not one is safe,

Not one soul who stays

Complicit in corruption,

Maybe now,

You’ll recognise the loss.
