[mikehendrycks]

Still feeling great
Is this real life
For heavens sake
Hell is more realistic
To those truly living
Ever heard of loving or giving
No f--- way, day after day
It's raping and killing
Glorified by cutlass in the past
Now it's a flag on a patch
On swine hide in the here and now
Hide behind gutless lies
Tied to wolvish eyes
Hollow crown
Held up by false security
And manufactured currency

Relax when you're six feet underground
Keep on working dont slow down

Even if you win youre still a rat
A comedian said it
But the real lament
Is most truths must be said in jest
We hate the thought of getting old
And the messages that we've been told
Hold onto false ideals
And youthful appeal
No one loves themselves
And If by chance you do
We all envy you so we mock
With tight lipped service
Jealousy is a religious purpose

Mike..Where on earth have you been hiding?..I see you still have that raw edgy way of getting your message across.I would love to hear this being belted out to some great music..Hope you are OK..I liked this writing a lot..Tangie..

[mikehendrycks]

Hey Tangie I've been under the proverbial addiction rock. Got out of rehab just over three months ago and have been writing like a fiend! Glad you liked it lots of good bad stuff has been coming out lately! Mind is clear for once! How have you been?!

"Hollow crown
Held up by false security
And manufactured currency"

I don't know if you intended it to be read this way, but these few lines are such a spot-on commentary on some aspects of our culture. Great piece you've got here!

[Pipebomb Poet]

This piece on life hit me (and definitely hit your audience). The rat race has so many laps that it makes us all nauseous.

Cool lyrics!

''Tied to wolvish eyes'' I liked.
Many people would share the opinion of yours on how easily compared to hell life is in reality. Depends on how you look at it.
