Face Value

Im not a soul hider/ Soul survivor/ Cant see myself without God/ I am not lieing/ I do not perpetuate the lies/ Im not a liar/ Far from dieing/ My molecules multiplying/ Dead fish in the pond/Another hopeful oversized heart dieing/ Devil crying / The lord seized the day to free the lion/ But where would the lion be/ Hypocrisy/ Your the only person able to deal with the photography/ Such blasphemy William K. Butler

Below zero

Attempt to bring me to the light/ What once was darkness/ Hop potato/ Ready but clueless to the turn around in life/ Support states away / Friends acting as if my heart is to give away/ Haven't seen my right hand since he last went away/ Outta state out of mind/ Only a fools fool for that belief William Butler

Break through

Face the dream/ What it seems/ A bad case of/ I almost didnt give a fuck/ But my nresistance stands before me/ Not cowarding/ But conquering/ Not giving in/ But breaking through/ Seeing it through/ The impossible/ Common sense but reluctant to say/ Is that possible/ Tired of picking through the scraps/ I should have more options/ I will have more options/ One goal to pursue/ This is what has shifted my attention/ Living through these trials/ My determination is a relentless tool William K. Butler

What am I to do

Feeling Like what should I do/ Who is who/ But the real world has its own/ Which strand do I live on/ Not looking forward to staying for the long haul/ Live alone/ No dog/ Impartial about a partner/ Elevated focus I call it/ Can you tell me what is missing/ all doors locked/ The keys are on t/he opposite side Living to learn/ Apply what you learn from living/ This is my instrument/ Teach me to play something unorthodox/ What should i do William K. Butler

Hollow blessings

Attend church on his gracious day Follow the word to its up most accountability Say grace everyday before and after your meal Not going a day without praising him Wishing well to others for they do not have the same faith Faith Blessings Praying Church This doesn't make you a saint This doesn't give you the right to cast hollow blessings for something you have no beliefe towards What a contradiction Who are you kidding As God as my witness I feel ashamed to have thought such a thing But where is the logic How would you feel to be told half of something because the other half in not true Keep your blessings to yourself I do not believe they will be received The way it is intended Wrapping a lie up with a god forsaken blanket I didnt want to underestimate it Nor did i want to overlook it But I know for sure I will not send out blessings if does not emulate the system in whcih it came from Pass no judgement And believe God exist Regardless of the circumstances William K. Butler

Why be discouraged

Who are you to stray away from what is rightfully yours/ No reason for it not to be declared/ You will still have to fight another day/ Though the reflection is hard to bare/ Face it/ Acknowledge it/ That you are somebody/ Regardless of the standards set forth/ You will be that someone to shed light on what cant be seen/ It is much easier to give up then to continue / Pushing/ Stroking/ Fighting the fight/ Why be discouraged/ Never gave myself the choice to fight or flight/ Not in my nature/ Not in my character and def not in my era/ So why be so discouraged/ At the end all be all/ You are discouraging yourself/ Imagine that! William K. Butler

What is this

Is it a conspiracy
Is it a theory
Do you follow up one with the other
Can one exist without the other
Are there boundaries in this field
Am I boundless to my own demise
Is it a theory
Is it a conspiracy
I think the world wants both
Why would you want that
Who would want that
Steady but surely
I feel like its a theory
I'm speechless
But trying to keep the faith when I do not know how to

William K. Butler

Inhumane domain

Am I inviting/ Why is it a hassle for us to stand united/ I would love know life without fucking it/ Restructure it/ Living off survival tactics/ To feel alive is for the privileged/ We are not in the same tax bracket/ A new year/ Never a new day/ Time for you to make thing happen/ Man was never dealt a Life Guide 101\ Women didn't read upon the stars on hows to nourish the youth/ Oh help us Lord for i can wait for judgement day/ I am free/ Not afraid/ For I have no motives or malice intent/ I drag my feet through the devils terrain/ Only become the winner by mere sacrifice/ William Butler

Merely your reflection

Know exactly who you are/ Do you want to believe/ You are more than a reflection/ Seeing you are/ Without any gradual changes towards perfection/ Is the mirror my weapon or/ My enemy/ Do you bare to see the truth/ By causing an end to me/ Especially When I do not know exactly who you are/ You could be my reflection/ William Butler

How many

How many/ How many, how many, how many/ Will it take your own measurements/ What day will they knock come to your door/ About who, what or where your family members body/ Hit the floor/ Safety first / Its a war/ But how many/ How many until the bloodshed is realistic/ Turning a blind eye/ Count yourself for this new beginning/ I watch in horror on how many care nothing but for their own occurrences/ What a degenerate / Tired of them handing us shit/ But expecting the majority to use it for ourselves/ How many different ways will they shut our pallets/ America is changing/ How much evidence will you void/ William Butler

Expression within yourself

My gift is to write/ Figurative lines only meant for paper/ Consider it a scrimmage/ Vast amount of words for the unspoken/ Words for the mind to be at bay/ The body will take flight/ For you are your own vessel/ Living this lyfe, it may be hard to meet the quota/ Everyday spent, another is another day worth living/ Acknowledge the presence/ Long list of regrets will be forged turning points/ Revolt/ For this is what we know best/ In a positive aspect that is/ Become what you may see as unachieveable/ Do what you know best/ Present it each day with a smile/ I know it may not be so simple/ The advice is live the moment which captivates you ina whole/ With just a smidge of diversity in between/ William K. Butler

As I lay

Living life in a high demand/ Rent is due/ Not sure to call anything yours/ How did you shake the earth/ Through Gods riff/ Venting with your own gift/ Ghost/ Gone with the wind with the tribulations/ How come you need reverberating drums/ So conscious of your actions/ Relax/ Nobody put a knife to your throat/ Gun to your temple, see whatever happens/ We are in the happening/ How happy are you/ What is it to be so easy/ But why let the demons have their way/ So unfortunate/ I will not stand beside them/ Cast them away/ For I made my decision to live righteous/ This is more appealing/ AMEN! William K. Butler

Untitled

Self stimulate
Self conscious
Configured so it becomes a downfall
Sober or in mystical lands
Am I right or wrong
Accusations
360 from a personal issue
How do I get rid of the bad blues
Cover it up with tattos
Rings, things and what has you
But what has me
Almost gasly
Is the realism in each day
Never running from the experience
But the lesson moves mountains that are suppose to be still
I am still
Who I claim to be
I can not be anything other than
Finding my mark in history
Through productivity or loning love to a loveless heart

William K. Butler

Better off

No need for friends to depict who I am/
The whole circle entirely is the same/
Depends where you bend/
Backwards has your spine feeling to erupt/
Werent you going through humps/
Oh so dear to me/
But so are my feelings and production in lyfe/
I picture myself walking fearlessly/
Without a burden/
Excuses to murder the messenger went wrong twice/
Trifling/
Frontward motions hold nothing dear to you/
For I move without a sound/
Ready to take off with who and wherever/
Not everyone reads the same page/
Shook from departure/
But I am surely.../
Better off

William K. Butler

Cycle

I gave default to the cycle Continuous rotation of the cycle Your own cause and affect Is there more to life without this cycle Dare never to be recycled I wear it proudly Not boldly for I forsaken myself Gave life to things that should be denounced I pray to Christ, God Jehovah For the forgiveness, I was to l live without Being in the cycle Why do I let this cycle exit William K. Butler

Reflective

I thought I knew me
Shucks
I coulda fooled me
Life's minon began trampling like a stampede
Heart beats clear as day
But for some reason its hard to breathe
I ask god everyday
Is this what I need
Don't look forward to guidance
The road is usually partially paved
I pray sometimes like I caught the holy ghost
God deliver me, I really have no where to go
Open arms
With crossed t's
If it matters I will get on my knees and pray with the pope
When you are alone
Its the ultimate test of time
How long will you condemn my soul
I beg of you please

William K. Butler

Rodeo

What a rodeo
Never was I the obscene character
Attached to my past life happenings
Preying on the weak
I am not everything you see
What a rodeo
Lumps, bumps and a whole shuffle of stuff
The road was made to be walked
But not while the pavement is still steaming hot
The sea
Where you can be can drowned alive
Drown like the others
Or learn to survive
What a rodeo
Without a paddle
Without four wheels
Without the right frame of mind
What a rodeo

William K. Butler

How will you show your love

Would you sink in the same boat
Give your eyes to blind
So they can see what hope is
Can you honestly say
Bare truth
No clothes to spare
With all hopes
This joke is not for real
Endless nights for me
Smooth crossroads for you
I show my love
Unafraid of the misunderstand
Living kidneyless
All for the love and kindness of my heart
So tell me, what would you do
So it ain't so
Your existence is priceless
There is nothing else in this world that matters

William K. Butler

Mid-Lyfe Crisis

There should only be
One God
One word
One line you will not cross
But what do you see
Another life
Which isn't yours
Which you knew before
Another flight you took before
Stop running, revoke the tendency to hide
How much longer do you want the world to divide
Live in stride
There are more than a thousand ways to die
But only one way to survive
Saddle up
Settle down
Stay on the ride
Stay positive before you deal with an official mid life crisis

William K. Butler

The devils aura

Such complications
All seminars are done in the devil's tomb
Play advocate for the freedom fighters of my time
In a battle for your inner soul
As easy as it is to give in
That should make it much harder to retreat
Since when things came easy
I wasnt previous to this
Since when you accept the default of defeat
It wasn't me
Not I
Not for the inbetween
With a barrell
I will cast you
Make a decision before you attempt the game

William K. Butler
