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

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

The War Of love & Lust

Clutching nothing but your desire
Far from what you aspire
We live on real lyfe time
Right here, right now
Don't play the fiddle subconsciously
I taught you much better than that
Why do we lose our heads
Always more than willing
Craddling to the simple logics I got placed in
A file forgotten, missing
This is one lesson learned on Xmas eve
Past the stage of trick or treat
Words left on the doorstep
You wanted trust
When I have I ever lacked that
How many years do i need rewind to give a recap
Refresher
Because things are far from what it seems
And half the truth is never the truth by itself
No selfhate, I will be the safety net
But only for things as far as I can see them
Cause it seems to me I often play ghost

William Butler

Why die in the inside

All this hate that you gather
Your the only person carrying the imaginery ghost
Torn
Apart
Left sanctioned in your own smoke
This thing you hold is no joke
Anxiety
Body gave into submission
Decisions
Living day to day but in reference to the present
Thoughts are non existence
For you forfeited your rights to live in the now
By yourself
In a crowd
What does insanity mean
Let lyfe breath and start living out loud
Your smile wide but your insides is where you frown
Get with the program
Stress kills

William K. Butler

On your lonesome

It isn't too difficult to give up on yourself
But how about standing up for that and speak with everyone else
We only want the best
Even though your immediate kinfolk may not
Why wait last minute, now we harbor around the clock
Time never stops
No anger, just disappointment with disbelief
I am here
Always wanted to be
For how long were you going to be floating in the cast away
You are not hurting alone
I've been hurt since I knew your background
Just don't ever leave my side even when we pass away
So official
But so lost

William K. Butler

Last thought is a first wish

Check this
Your more than a weapon
Something protruding through my hip
#1 on my Xmas list
In the same breath I regret you became a wish
For the holidays or any other day
An extra stop along this trip to bountiful
Its a mountain full
Always kept afloat
But I am the not the typical to drown
With so much might
More than one purpose
God favors me for it
It does weight down occasionally
But what more can I ask for
Be positive,
Be enlightened and
Make sure to play your part to be the crutch and not the latter in the end

William K. Butler

Heartstring

Play from the bench
Only sacrificial when they need of a lamb
But am I
Or was I
I played a game thought to be finessed
Where it was never working with me
But against me
What a terrible trapeze to be on
The bottom may have not been so far down
But I held you to my level
You will always be my equal
As I am
Left in the last scene
Never to return to the sequel
Such an instrument for love
Ill be your caretaker

William K. Butler

Black Power

Sour feelings for the struggle
Sweetness due to our success
Never the less
It is forever unrecognized
As we play fiddle
Play a woman
Never playing against the odds
Beliefe not in our own power
But solely from the mighty dollar
Life has become destructive
We now will neal
Forever reaching  while they look down at us yelling hooting and hollering
You are worth nothing
Our souls are all the same
With this burden we carry
It should projected not onto each other but to the opponent

William K. Butler

Sex Spice

Words are left at the door step
Only heartbeats and hot stares remain amongst the mist
Already attached due to the emotional bliss
This is it
I have no confusion
Maybe indecisive once our play is in action
I figure that comes with this matter
My body placed on top of your hips
The stroke left you ona whip
No where to run
There was never a way to escape
I can smell your relation
Put the face of frustration away

William K. Butler

Destructive Love

Seeing is believing
It is everything
Life is a brink
No guarantees
What second was ever destined
Family love the only thing lacking substance
No way to stand
Willingly, they abandon you at the first sight of a burden
Reckless
Unknown to their words
They use or misuse
Words spoken for the first time
For I wept but yet could never hold my touge to such disgust
Not much for me to consider

William K. Butler

Indecisive for What

Things out the clear eye view
How would that cause me not to detach
Craving for more
The opposites obviously don't attract
Only left with what has to be considered
How many reasons do I need to reconsider
Please never forget
I watch , listen and apply
Not so much as a neuroscience
Make your mind up
Or there will be a way given to you
My out layer is not teflon
But my heart is

William K. Butler

Broken Promises

                            
You say I couldn't
I say i will
Don't dare doubt my sacrifice
Nothing has happened by coincidence
Jolly from a major traffic jam pulled clear
I knew what I did different
Played my position
Till my own position was out played
Leaving no lane to maintain
Liars given ammunition but on another mans time
The fact that I speak like this
As If you werent treated as one of my own
People to Family
Family to People
A blood line will forever be ridiculed
I told you what you were to encounter
My dear downfall
I fell for you
And you call me family

William Butler
