Weird poems from a weird person.(Me)

So I have had an interest in poetry for several years now, in fact I just wrapped up a poetry class at my college. I am a big fan of using poetry to convey my thoughts and beliefs in strange and unusual ways. I would like to present you all with a few of my poems, I am welcoming of any and all criticism, as long as it is constructive.


"The Struggle Within"

Undue pressure to confront my inner demons,
Will I stand and face these horrific cretins?

Inorganic matter conjured by cranial inefficiency,
These beastly apparitions habitually make me queasy.

Uprooting many temporary holds of my sanity,
Deep seated abominations of my own grotesque vanity.

Insidious claws beckon me to the bubonic abyss,
A wolf in sheep's clothing; a two faced mistress.

For beneath my carapace there dwells an eerie land,
Haphazardly I slip into necromantic sand.


"Humanity's Convalescence"

The way I see it we're already dead,
Eyes to the floor, brains made of lead,

We live in a sick consumerist culture,
The Powers That Be are a ravenous vulture,

The ignorant masses are brainwashed cattle,
The Fascist Overlords are atop the saddle,

Soulless shells of humans take the filthy role of Banksters,

Shameful scams Fractional Reserve Banking and Derivatives are,
Ideas implemented solely to manipulate and scar,

Given the power to control a nation's money supply,

With incalculable greed and delusions of grandeur, their evil has no limit,
Clueless corporate tools know not the malevolence diseased minds will exhibit,

Fearless neckties fully unaware of their own wage slave existence,
Their herniated brains can offer no true resistance,

A lifetime of ingesting MSG and Aspartame in the food supply,
Not to mention Fluoride in the water to rot our critical thinking dry,

Too blinded by mindless television and deliberate warfare to ask why,
Why the C.I.A. owns the world's drug routes, and provides us with the narcotics we buy,

A slippery slope of shooting dope and rotting in the prisons,
Ends our hope and hangs the rope around our neck, while on the gallows, slack eyes glisten.


"One Step Into The Shadows"

I lay in wait for the perfect prey, I am one within the shadows,

Lurking tall in my domain, more unnerving than the gallows,

Once I latch on it's too late, you'll never see me coming,

Fate has blessed me with this curse, from whence I've learned my cunning,

You might hear my step, yet your sight will show you lies,

You can't even see me with your pathetic, human eyes,

My life is lived in darkness, forever one step in the shadows,

As the sun completes its set, and the night begins to dawn,

I watch you from the closet waiting for your mouth to yawn,

I see your breathing steady, and your wrist begins to twitch,

"Finally", I tell myself, I can cure this cursed itch,

Crawling, twisting, full of purpose, brooding, seething, devil circus,

Gnawing, gnashing, teeth aplenty, ruthless, evil death sentry,

I stalk across the floor as my fervor begins to build,

Clawing, thrashing, working forward, biting, stinging, hissing toward,

Lunging, snapping, rolling further, spinning, hungry, ghastly murmur,

I snatch you in my grip, behold the fear within you rise,

The apex of my pleasure is the terror in your eyes,

My onslaught cannot fail, and my efficiency, one of fame,

The fire of your soul extinguished, all will play my game.

My Mother always warned me about weird guys. I just never thought i'd meet one on here.

I dont think youre weird at all but that could just be a sign of my own insanity lol. Loved every line.

The last one though, is it death or addiction, or something else? The first two were crystal

You are right, ATS is a bastion of perfect sanity.
Besides me, of course.

It definitely may be a sign of your own insanity! lol. I am happy to hear that you enjoyed them.
That last one is about death, nice catch.

Nah, my wife kept secretly taking pictures of me so I began sticking my tongue out to "ruin" them. Turns out that I like this one.

It is an "Evil" crescent moon. I got it partly because it looks amazing, and also because of my interest in theories involving the moon not being what it seems.

You must draw in evil. I'd never wear a crescent moon if it was evil.
