Heart
If you have a
certain something
you can survive
anything
If you have a

A Bullet for your Thoughts
There is no more contemptible sound
than a gunshot.
the cackle of a jackal pales.
A gunshot is worse
because it’s followed by
screams of sorrow
or painful moans.
If laughter is the music of life
then screams are the horror.
The gun is the new Frankenstein monster.
Who is more evil: the monster
or the creator?
Man created guns.
And now. That monster. Kills
men, women, and children.
Did God create man?
or the Devil?
They are both guilty by association.
The Poems of Unsound Men

New School
I'm developing my own style/genre of writing tentatively called The Illogical School of Irrationality. I got the idea thinking about AI and how people are now using AI to write books. The only things that will separate original writers from the AI crap are humor and poetry, the more illogical or irrational the better. AI cannot duplicate those unique traits that only come from the human mind. On a philosophical level, we live in a chaotic world rife with corruption and evil, so thinking opposite of that is a rejection of such a world and yearning for a better one. We are constantly besieged by mind-control methods of propagandized politics, mass media, putrid pop culture, and ad-induced materialism that tell us what to think. To be illogical today is a badge of honor. Historically, rationality has been weaponized. Why did people freely follow orders and march into concentration camps during WWII? Because "authorities" told them to and it was the rational and logical thing to do. Why do people today take the MRNA vaccines and boosters when they clearly don't work and cause heart issues? Because the authorities said so and it is the logical and rational thing to do. Why do people pay taxes and not revolt? Because authorities say so and it is logical and rational to pay even though we have no say where the money goes. So I'm starting my own style of writing that is opposite of that, hence the name The Illogical School of Irrationality. It probably won't win me any publishing deals, but it's rejuvenated my writing. Highway of Tears is my next horror novel, so it will be more conventional, but my next poetry book will be the first official book written in that style.
To the manipulated masses it seems perfectly rational to follow the experts, who are really Judas Goats leading them to authoritative prisons. Bill Gates, Elon Musk, and Zuckerberg are just a few, yet they follow orders like me and you. Bankers and Industrialists dictate the news. Lies are what they spew. I thought you knew?

Mossad/CIA/DARPA tell you what to do. A basic set of rules yet never question who rules over you.

Litmus Test
What if humanity
never existed
and there wasn’t
any history?
How would you treat
a person
you meet
tomorrow?

That Never Comes
I’m not seeing eye to eye with the all-seeing eye
It sees everything and I feel blind.
Vaccines made to steal
I ask why?
It seems
that eye has become blind.
Thought I saw a flying octopi outside,
Must’ve been gazing into Nemo’s 3rd eye.
Just call me D-Nice,
actually my name is Heatt, just say it thrice.
Most rich people look dead inside
Lost the fire in their eye
I wonder why?
I wrote a rhyme while Clipping Coupons
Some people have hollow eyes
Not a lack of depth
but a look of death
Like their life has been hollowed out
and all they have is a biological remnant
of something (they left)
Vital once, but now benign
resigned
Waiting for that one last time
to feel alive
It sees everything and I feel blind.
