Motivation
I’ve learned to run towards anything and everything in life
Now most things will fall short because you can’t win all the time
But I will keep running towards what I want because you can’t truly lose
Until you’re dead

Of Gods and Laws
the funny thing about laws is that they hold no real weight beyond fear. I mean all laws of society and man. We tend to look at the laws of nature as though they are a force to be manipulated without consequence and we have things such as global warming, destruction of the Monarch Butterfly, immeasurable damage done to our water from things such as oil spills, and the list goes on.Though the laws...

radically vegan: Why isn't smoking vegan? →
radicalvegans:
First off I wanna start this by saying trigger warning for animal abuse. And Kale, if you’re reading this, there is a bit on cat abuse. It’s small but it’s there, so if you do want to read it, prepare yourself. I bought a zine awhile back that backed up a lot of how I felt about smoking.
That was a lot of information that I didn’t know. I am not Vedan, nor am an animal...

On being Punk
These windmills blow to knock you back Arms swing as the legs kick and move Circlular damage to reach for floor and sky Pogo motherfucker, let our kin know your there We ain’t nothing but a generation formed of rags Seperated from the box only smash it anyway With our backs to the walls, we the animals Vicious in our nature bite the hands that feed Cause we question the intent of our masters...

Thought of the moment
As former and slightly less ignorant person than I used to be. I am asking you to check out this quote that I saw written by Terry Park one the Angry Asian Man Blog “People who say: “Let’s bomb______.”” Now in that moment that you were reading that and probably filling in the blanks with many asshole comments. Think about all the times that may have crossed your mind...

15 Minutes of fame or 5 minutes of revolution Which paper tiger will you ride into the night Anger flares in indignation for television atrocities If it’s not twittered the truth is not quite out there Like fashions that creep with slithering paychecks Upon the backs of corporate made celeberties Cause your ability to copy and whine Sets your bourgeoisie ass apart Becoming the ultimate...

Innocent until proven foreign
Is it innocence or ignorance?
Simplicity in the daily line of questions
“What country are you from?”
As if the uncomfortable grin on my face
Did not truly hide the disgust
“No I meant what country were you born?”
This just slides off ones tongue in reminder
That you are a foreigner in familiar land
“I didn’t mean to offend”
Haven’t you learned from generations of fear
Forgiveness,...

A short prayer for Uncle Dan..by The Rev
Go to sleep now, so you may rest your head Tired from a long journey that you held as one Carrier of just truth that only good men hold No candles need be lit as your path is clear Into the folds of memoies to join the past Dream well my friend, you will be missed I’ll still dream of a man that danced with lions Ran as a hero through crowds of fire Taming wild horses to grasp iron rings...

Attention, attention!!!
Good morning America Just a gentle reminder here That we are still at war!!!! The cost is beyond any rhetoric Sure we can be serverd up bits in the news Stewed together in the swine pits Of political offices and corporate news rooms Its an election year The scapegoat is the human psyche The propaganda machine keeps you Enraged just enough to pay attention So the leaders of finance and politics Can...

Tripping on EMS
There it goes again, smack right into my heart
I watched the blaring lights of the ambulance
As I grabbed onto my steering wheel just a little harder
I want to say that I miss the action and the excitement
But what I really miss is the heavy sorrow
The staunch reminder that my life could be worse
The bitter thankless thoughts of foolish bravery
I ate the fear and misery up like a wicked fuel
Then...

The End
The world is coming to an end Doesn’t matter which pill you take red or blue Cause I can read the cards as I fuck away That the news is just a massive prophecy to war China becomes scapegoated so politicians can ascend Financial terror, biblical territorial pissing what is true Facebook tells me so I will twitter my life away Fortune favors those coldest at their social core Former activists...

Little Boy and Fat Man
I’ve seen the skies light up as bright as can be The warmth burns brightly into my soul you see Floating trickled down like snow flakes catching one breath Shielded locked in a solitary stare down with death This shadow plays with time because memories in moments Remember sadly instantaneously no room for lament My walls may crumble but some will remember The ghosts of August brought about a...

Before you choose
Are you looking for a savior among the snakes of the viper pit? Charmed by a smile, perhaps words that rattle with deadly wit Slow, disorienting, venomous becomes love and a personality cult But the system will maintain perhaps stronger as a result

Danny Chen
It shouldn’t have cut so deep
A little humor to make a mother weep
Strengthened by the bond of assimilation
Militance stained by a White washed nation
Ready, aim and fire; Lost upon a yellow face
We carry deep the weight of a forgotten race
There is no grey area for us to be placed
We demand justice for the crimes our martyrs faced
Paranoid fears of Red Death and communist Rule
Seem to have...

Please read this and share. As we continue demanding justice for Danny and real action by the army to stop discriminatory abuse, the support of the public is critical.

Punk and Proud
To my brothers and sisters of our many nations strong
One legion under scum and scars that don’t belong
Our armies once thought scattered like rats into time
Our pride is a badge of dignity not of grievous crime
This is a way of life, not a trend, or a choice
This is as much a part of our being, such as your voice
Be you Skin, Scum, or Punk… doesn’t matter to me
Fighting just for fun, or your just...

Foxhole
Are you digging your hole? Is it dug real deep? Cause it’s time for us children to hide Like poor little sheep Big brother has pulled back the covers That protected us from the dark As if they were boogeymen in our closets Their attack has become so stark Run little fox if you think you can Poisonous words flow through their vein Ensared in a trap of rhetoric and fear Believe what you wish...

Castle under siege
I was told once that the reason for the government being out of control is because most Americans don’t get involved and allow the system to be the way it is. He wasn’t completely wrong, but now a lot of Americans that I meet and talk to that are pissed, are too distracted by the whole trying to make ends meet and trying to survive thing that they have been caught in a catch 22…Past generations of...

Commentary: The action taken against the punks in...
What happened to the 64 punks in Indonesia was inhuman. It is also reminder of what of part of what the scene is about. These kids went to a show looking to belong to something real and express what is inside of them. Just because they are born in an oppressive environment they were assaulted and arrested. Not because they were doing anything to hurt anyone else. Well now we have a lot of punks...

A note to all my anti-protester friends:
A note to my anti-protester friends:
Yeah I understand that some of the protesters are bunch of whiny bitches. I understand that some feel that someone owes them something. I also know that a lot of them work and struggle hard to try and get somewhere only to end up feeling at the bottom. I know some don’t feel like anyone owes them anything. I think that some feel that the only way that...

Our Father beaten in 302 minor (The Rev's Prayer)
Born again and risen from a bout of psychosis Lies the injured holy man stewing in his own blood Telling the rest of the naysayers to back away Because he dreams of prophecies with each deafening thud To take a beating in the name of that which is most holy To become a martyr in the name of he who is the lord I would gladly slaughter my own kin as sacrifice We can justify greed because his veil is...

something I wrote my mother for her 60th
Mother, I looked toward the empty space That is the future that holds hope And I find comfort in the eternal forgiveness Because in the simplicity of your words And the ever binding goodness of your nature I find a strength that can only be held By the blanketing softness of your hands A strength that helps bond our family I want you to know that I have not overlooked this I may have strayed in my...

Thin Yellow Line
The bomb has been ticking since I can remember
Eyes torn wide as children are taught games of fear
Chink eyed devils from across the great red sea
Come to take moms and pops jobs that we hold so dear
I hear little jimmy talk of how his grandfather fought in Nam
Standing tall murdering village children thought Viet Cong
Proud Americans watch the little black boys robbing Chinese deliveries...

We watch them debate over how to screw the sheep
Yes Obama, Boehner and the rest of the pig farmers are all in session
It’s not a matter of bidding for the lobbyist assassins anymore
Cause the death of the Middle class comes in the form of the next Great depression
Ah, yes I have told my fellow lubed up, hardworking, unskilled comrades
I really hope they serve some cream of potato in the soup...

Just something that seemed to come out today
Sipping on what seemed like life itself
Whiskey dreams enticed this Asian tongue
As though the drunks at their Irish pubs had it cornered
An appreciation for forgetting the sorrows and dreams
Because yellow man turned red face was not a reflection
Of Psycho turned dictator offering up his peoples future
It is just this young man’s foolish way to prove bravery
In...

Goodbye (For those who've sold themselves out)

Man from Detroit
I still remember the those few days As though the shock never wore off My peoples unifying rage plastered across signs As though this was the final injustice Yet I did not know this young man from Detroit And still my innocence took another beating Wondering how some judge could toss this aside As though some young hooligans got caught for the first time I never quite understood all the buy...

Native Tongue
Native Tongue Native in what we speak to regress to the primal Offering a space between the unbearable tightness Of our modern un-PC world looking inward to defy But what have we lost in trying to stand against Tradition is only a path from which we learn Defiance my brothers is the broken speech That allows us to articulate our angst into action Defining the moments of our existence to bleed Out...

Fallen
Many days were spent chasing forgiveness For sins that cannot be forgiven Mortality chased one call at a time As if each moment you can feel it slipping The part that I grasped onto ever so tightly Humanity hidden beneath the dark psychosis Never forgetting dropping the boot And feeling the crunching of the jaw Rightousness to cover the sickening pit Never given a thought to the mirrored image...
