INVASION

Invasion

This is a story
Which will be told, it must
About all of those planets
Which have been turned to dust

It seemed like a normal day
When the news first came
Our colony had been attacked
But we knew not who to blame

Our people had found peace
There had been no more wars
Violence to us now foreign
At the very thought we were torn

But this threat came not from us
But something far far away
They called themselves The Eve’s
Invasion was at bay

This of course we opposed
But the fight did not last long
Violence so far in our past
Our weapons just missiles and bombs

Because our world had found peace
Trillions of our people died
This left us without defense
Our weapons shot from the skies

Over the next three days
The battle raged on in space
Our allies came from Orion
But they to were in The Eve’s brace

All of us felt the chill
When Orion’s forces fell
Their corpses now float in space
Forever will their ghosts dwell

We escaped just in time
To see our planet blown to ash
All we knew was now gone
Done with all but one blast

Their weapons were great
Enough to take all we knew
And then they were gone
For reasons nobody knew

But all of this is because
Our world had found peace
We had thought we were safe
Manufacturing weapons ceased

But this all worked against us
On those days before the end
Because we did not realize
We still had a world to defend

COUNTDOWN

Countdown

we've come to send a message
bring back a voice that was torn
we call ourselves the society
with words we are reborn

so often the young are silenced
simply because of our age
we are the new generation
releasing a voice that's been caged

we call ourselves poets
because our message has dept
we're lead by Mouse and Magmus
two poets who have wept

but one of them in particular
that by the name Mouse
he has fueled our message
experienced with a shut mouth

there was a point in his past
where he did not speak out
this decision he would regret
would become the poet's bout

we speak for those who've been silenced
just kicked aside on this rock
for those who fear speaking out
and those who get lip locked

so come the year 2011
be sure to prepare for hell
because this is truly a story
which only time can tell

but until that day
sit back and enjoy the wait
we are the voice of the future
and the world is our bait

and just keep in mind
the worst has yet to come
we alone are the poets
bullets from silenced gun

LIFELINE

Lifeline

so here i sit, up in this class, one thing on my mind and that's the time passed,i sit by a girl, kitty, my best friend, but some-thing has changed, it feels so different

i love her to death, don't get me wrong, she's still my home-girl, friendship is strong, yet with all this, it's just not the same, all this shit's, driving me insane, but this isn't it, i blame home life to, smile on face each time hatred grew

the saddest lie, but that's how i live, smile on face, underneath hatred, sometimes i just want, to blow my brains out, but kitty's my world, took me north from south

this girl saved my life, when emotions hid, i wonder if she knows what she did

i live for my friends, and she's at the top, when i see her, THUMP THUMP, my heart stops, but not out of love, she's on-ly a friend, but she has my trust, for her, not pretend

she will always, have place in my heart, one true friend, from ending to start

EXPLOSION:
freestyle, here is my beat, no music upon this sheet, yet i go on just the same, nothing nee-ded to fuel this flame

you see i just blast off, BOOM, into sky, escape from doom, from this al-ready scorched earth, i see light, here comes rebirth, but this world's different, not the same, this world is dark, it's at end game

the blast i saw, was no sun, but explosion, now it's dark, no plane comes down to see ash, it's WWIII, we are the last

INFESTATION

ok here comes the new plot, what it's about i know not, this si free, i have no plan, so join me, conquer this land

hello friend, my name is House, i play this game like a mouse, sneeking into all your minds, you see me not, i don't waste time

i infest all that's around,, vile brews coming from sound, a beating lashed out by my hands, vocally i am one band, i need no help, i work alone, others get tossed frmo my throne, so with that said i'll end it here, on foot in, my path is clear

*************************************************************************************

TWO MINUTES

8:50 when i begun, two minutes to fire gun, out of barrel, BANG BANG BLAST, one shot and it was your last

my finger deadly, little time, my words spoken out as rhyme, what else is there i can say, well who knows, it is new day, one day i'll make every-one scream, but today, fuck the mainstream

in my last rhyme, one minute left, watch me as i cha-llenge theft, with my gun, i shoot you in head,two minutes, and BANG you're dead

INTO THE DARK

Into The Dark

everything stops
a moment frozen in time
the planet is now dead
only structures left behind

this is not about love
or about beauty held
but the beauty which came
once life had been expelled

for the longest time
there was a peace kept
we knew it would not last
but still we all wept

then one day the stars faded
blinked out one by one
that's when the darkness came
absolute zero, no suns

at least that's how it's told
today in our fairy tales
we are the last of our kind
but we will not prevail

the time since the beginning
hard for all to comprehend
we had time to evolve
and could foresee the end

but this we could not stop
as far as we had evolved
nature had taken course
this could not be resolved

for sextillions of years
our civilization thrived
we could travel the universe
and controlled the skies

but none of this mattered
at least not in the end
time had brought our deaths
now space is dark again

as we stare into the dark
we know our time is done
everything is now dead
and mother nature has won

-Carlos "House" Gerardo

MORTALITY

Mortality

it drives me insane
what will come of this all
will it be an eternity
or box with padded walls

because everyday i think of
that which cannot be known
the news reminds me of mortality
with every death that is shown

both of these concepts
downright scare me to death
they invade my slumber
and fill my waking breath

the trait of a poet
is that one can question all
not just life or death
but humanities flaws

but is that flaw our lifespan
or curi-osity of just one
our mind brings these grim thoughts
until our days are done

we have created worlds
which may not even be real
to which we devote our lives
for paradise boxed and sealed

for those who do not believe
what is it for we live
is this not the great question
to which our time we give

by jsut writing this poem
am i not questioning life
weather this all is pointless
or just one big strife

but the day my death comes
one concept will remain
the fact that we are all mortal
just chemical reactions and brain

-Carlos "House" Gerardo

ARTIFICIAL

Artificial

angry, is my poetry
my rhymes, ne-ver complete
lashing, out against him
as i, call in the fleet

why, does he go back
to a girl, he does not deserve
he, broke her heart once
in pieces, it was served

i, am ready to
just, get up and fight
over, this one girls heart
show off, power and might

angry, i turn to wolf
in face, of the big full moon
emotions, begin to swirl
crea-ting a typhoon

i now pick up a piece
of her shattered heart
hold it in my hand
as i'm tearing him apart

blood is turned to ink
as i spread, it across this page
reveal, my bloodstained claws
as i make, the world my stage

he, tries to win her back
close, but no cigar
he, still has her heart
but this, won't get him far

it's the, actions he takes
which will, define his course
wea-ther her heart will break
love is, a powerful force

but can, she overcome
e-motions towards him
save, herself the tears
remove, artificial grin

all, this just for him
smile, for so long faked
this girl's heart was de-li-cate
just, like a snowflake

but, on this one day
he, turned up the heat
evaporated love
reducing, it to sleet

now it's nothing more
than, just a cold rain
able, to hide her tears
but obv-ious is her pain

i, know how she feels
i, can look past the lies
in, the form of smiles
within, the twilight

now, tears come from me
as i, see her heart crack
shat-tering apart
and forming holes form black

once, again tick tock
time, just passes by
with, some feelings
that can-not be denied

but, will she go back
this, will be his fourth shot
fired, in the dark
from, a heart outfought

but ulti-mate-ly
the choice, comes down to her
weather, she stays with him
or finds, a guy she deserves

but just, like i said
the, choice is not mine
i love her to death
but that, won't stop decline

in my final words
things, get heated up
a story, to be continued
but for now, just be starstruck
