PREPONDERATING THE EVIDENCE
By James Kunkel
I Was Taught…
Jesus loves me.
my prayers would be answered.
love conquers all.
blood is thicker than water.
the truth will set me free.
justice is blind.
you can’t live in the past.
life has just begun.
memories fade with time.
time heals all wounds.
the end justifies the means.
the best is yet to come.
I Was Led To Believe…
love is all you need.
children ate the future.
knowledge is the key.
judges are impartial.
crime doesn’t pay.
nice guys finish last.
life is precious.
laughter is the best medicine.
looks can be deceiving.
everyone has a voice.
silence is golden.
friendship never ends.
I Wonder If…
truer words were ever spoken.
some words are better left unsaid.
kindness ever killed anyone.
I can go back home.
mankind rules the Universe.
Mars was once inhabited.
the Hive Mind is collecting data.
certain lines should be crossed.
addiction is misunderstood.
sobriety is overrated.
money is the root of all evil.
God will ever apologize.
I Have My suspicions That…
my faith has been misplaced.
justice is also deaf.
rules were meant to be followed.
money is power.
I should keep my enemies further away from me.
violence is an effective teaching tool.
all women are bipolar.
reality is an illusion.
the past will catch up to us.
death is not the end.
we will return to the Collective.
God hates us all.
I Was Surprised To Learn…
knowledge is simply a word.
prayers are merely wishes.
consumers are suckers.
credit and blame are the same.
truth is a matter of perspective.
you CAN rape the willing.
priests cannot be trusted.
cops are licensed killers.
lawyers are lying pricks.
judges are racist basturds.
crime pays very well.
Karma is actually a cunt.
A COMMON ANOMALY
By James Kunkel
I am one
of many.
Honestly,
I will lie to your face.
I won’t talk behind your back,
unless you turn your back on me.
I don’t need your trust –
yet I must have it!
I am glorious!
a force of Nature –
a child borne of this Earth.
I am hideous!
a force to be reckoned with –
an animal born to be wild.
I am an idea,
a concept,
a thought.
I am the result,
the consequence,
living proof.
I have been shamed by pride,
I am shamelessly proud to admit!
My body is a temple,
an institution,
my prison.
My mind is chaos,
and ignorance,
and free!
I make mistakes
perfectly.
I have been accused of crimes
that never occurred.
I have gotten away with crimes
I will never confess to.
I have been convicted of a crime
I did not commit.
I fear the Dark,
though I welcome the Night,
always.
I welcome the Light,
although I fear it will burn me,
again.
I am busy doing nothing,
even when I’m not.
When I am still,
I am still in motion.
I shrink as I grow,
I live as I die,
I respect the unexpected.
(I’ll bet you didn’t expect that!)
I laugh when I am sad.
I cry tears of joy.
I can find humor in depression,
but sadly, this is not funny.
Sometimes I remember
things long forgotten.
Sometimes I forget things
after too long.
Sometimes I care too much
to give a damn.
I seek advice
I will never use.
I give advice
I would never follow.
I am an architect,
a creator,
an inventor.
I am the Destroyer!
I have religion,
yet do not practice it.
I shun evil,
yet practice it
religiously.
I am the dumbest genius
you have ever known.
I am the wisest idiot
you will ever know.
But you knew this already,
because you know me
all to well.
Yet you never really knew me
at all…
GROPING THE CORPSE
By James Kunkel
Facedown in the mud
You never looked more beautiful
Multiple stab wounds
Glisten in the moonlight
Caressing your lifeless body
So cold, yet so tender
Death your finest feature
Lust starts to take over
INTERCRANIAL CANKER SORES
By James Kunkel
Malignant tumors
Cerebral distillation
I drool on myself
A SLICE OF HEAVEN
By James Kunkel
Deep dish, extra cheese
Five fucking pounds of pizza!
Sweet home, Chicago
SOMETIMES I HATE YOU
By James Kunkel
Sometimes I hate you
For leaving like you did
No warning, no goodbye
You were just … gone
Sometimes I hate you
For the conversations we never had
Things left unsaid
Stuck in my head
Sometimes I hate you
When I hear the Blues
My right foot gets to stomping
Then I’m left sobbing
Sometimes I hate you
So much it HURTS
Because it reminds me
How much I love you
Raining Mud
By James Kunkel
Raining Mud is a parody of the song, Raining Blood, by one of my all-time favorite bands: SLAYER.
…
My hazy glare at nothing holds thoughts of dust behind it
Particles in my eyes commence blurring all transparency
Granules in my brain clouding sight since my birth
Dumb and blind – can’t see forever – shear insanity
Do I wipe my eyes?
…
The waves of mud are rushing near, pounding at the walls with might
Wiping off my glasses, blinking fast to clear my sight
Blowing dirt in from the East clouding my reality
Where I am, where I went? I can only hold my breath
…
Trapped in obscurity
A lifeless object, alive
Awaiting removal
Dust will be their inheritance
…
The sky is turning dark
A recurring shower draws near
Fall onto me the sky’s muddy tears
Abolish the dunes by my home
…
Squished down below, soles of my favorite flats
Adorned by many, now ornaments dripping with mud
…
Wading for hours in the Nile
Your swimsuit escapes
…
Raining mud
From a macerated sky
Knee-deep in puddles
Desecrating my structure
Now I shall reign in mud
