    uniE603 Steampunk Pris' by Mike Ogle
    I just came in for the money, and maybe some form of love. No expectation of falling, down drunk on the floor and be bombed. I am Cleopatra my pronoun is Queen to you, just play along with me and no harm will come to you. I’m now so fucked up and liberal my family can’t recognize me at all. That’s what my college done did to me’ now I’m just blue-haired and communist now. All along the line my friends must be blind, my life is a vacuum and spiritually-blind. Check my life and see if there’s some form of decline, and you’ll find it there’ but now I’m out of my mind. My name’s Artaxerxes king of Persia, my pronoun's now King unto you. You know that I’m crazy but your friends with me, (how-are-ya) just wait til you see what I do. La-la-la-la-la-la-la-la… Why-can’t-I-get-my-way!…
    uniE603 Natural Design' by Mike Ogle
    Created I made, space on display, stars... worlds'... you say… Then you took what I spanned, and called it Big Bang, making you god man. The time, the sea, the land is all of My own hand. The Sun, the moon, the stars were to show you just how small you are. Just look around’ not a sound, that’s what’s telling you I’m around. I baked the cake so hot some thought it was older than the one they taught. I want to let you in (it’s my own life amen). You won’t get in that way (just let me love today). How wrong’ that blackened-space, you said’ made you debut. When will you reach the end of yourself and let Me in. The time, the sea, the land is all of My own hand. The Sun, the moon, the stars were to show you just how small you are. Just look around’ not a sound, that’s what’s telling you I’m around. I baked the cake so hot some thought it was older than the one they taught. Told ya I so, told ya I so’. I told you I so, I told you. Your Winter, your Summer, Spring and your Fall, I watch you all. Told you I so, now that you know. When will you come back unto Me… Told you I so, told you I so. The time, the sea, the land is all of My own hand. The Sun, the moon, the stars were to show you just how small you are. Just look around’ not a sound, that’s what’s telling you I’m around. I baked the cake so hot some thought it was older than the one I wrought. My own thoughts are not your thoughts.…
    uniE603 Transitions' by Mike Ogle
    Tell me what to do, I don’t really know, is it truly you, I don’t want to know… Tell me what to do, I don’t really know, is it truly you, I will not let you go… I don’t really care, up and down I go.…
    uniE603 Are you that one' by Mike Ogle
    I’m longing for someone to show this picture of a kinda sort of thing I want to know… are you that one? I sometimes ask myself’ lost and with no help: Are you the one? In spite of how I feel, wrestling with my will is all I got’ but be still. In light of how I feel, wrestling with my will is all I got instilled. You’re calling for a rerun of a movie you love, that made you hope one will eventually come … don’t know where from. A pattern we would know - we’re opposite the flow… only you’d know. Can you come home… I don’t where to go, I don’t know what to do, provide me the sight, with mystery I like. In spite of how I feel, wrestling with my will is all I got’ but be still. In light of how I feel, wrestling with my will is all I got instilled. No sign of life, through distant moonlight, with owl’s sight, I just can’t see more, the clouds around’… they’re blocking you. And all the gates are closed with no one at the helm’ but I alone, this can’t be right. Platonic realm'… an underwhelm, or who-knows-what, now. I don’t know how to make it clear, the world that ought to be’ it’s not the path I see here, so I don’t know. Heaven doesn’t tell me, so I don’t know. Get out of my life… Get out of my life. I walk outside the city lights, the clamor and noise. And focus on the one path, cuz I don’t know. You sure you don’t?... I know I don’t. It’s hard to know if someone’s heart is truly good to know… So… in spite of how I feel, wrestling with my will is all I got’ but be still. In light of how I feel, wrestling with my will is all I got instilled.…
