POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
it is seeds that i try to sow within the words that i write
Poor Me
I cry about it
I bitch and whine
about it
Yet
I don't change
I do the poor me
about it
I suck energy
from others
to spread the word
about it
Yet
I don't change
I blame others
for it
I blame those
who I allow
to run it
Yet
I don't change
I blame the kids
for complicating it
I blame my partner
for strangling it
Yet
I continue
Not to Change
My Life
I bitch and whine
about it
Yet
I don't change
I do the poor me
about it
I suck energy
from others
to spread the word
about it
Yet
I don't change
I blame others
for it
I blame those
who I allow
to run it
Yet
I don't change
I blame the kids
for complicating it
I blame my partner
for strangling it
Yet
I continue
Not to Change
My Life

No One
There is
no one
who can light
your Fire
there are no
group
hugs
that can make you
Shine
the Spark
that can light
your fire
can only be
by your own
Desire

Sadness
is a comfort blanket
Pity
is deceptive
and compassion
is just apathy's
never ending
bottomless pit
where our empathy hangs
at the end of a rope
That we made
So we could try
To fit in
is a comfort blanket

G5 Time
We must
hold back the people
The public
The children
The slaves
for the time is ripe
where we can declare
that Thoughts
that we deem
illegal
have now become
a Clear
and present Danger
to our national security
our national interests
to our continued
way of life
hold back the people
The public
The children
The slaves
for the time is ripe
where we can declare
that Thoughts
that we deem
illegal
have now become
a Clear
and present Danger
to our national security

Wonderful Life
We are tought
to think
in the Box
to behave
to stay
in the Box
we go home
everyday
to live
in a Box
to watch
the Box
to believe
in the Box
and when we die
we lay
in a Box
what a wonderful life
that we live
to think
in the Box
to behave
to stay
in the Box
we go home
everyday
to live
in a Box
to watch
the Box
to believe
in the Box
and when we die
we lay
in a Box
what a wonderful life
that we live

Abandoned
Are you tired
to the bone
and your soul
hearing about things
that should be so
by people who say
that they know
how to change
the State of Fear
that is shown
in our homes
Everyday
where lip service
is given
to commonsense
speeches
and far reaching
Promises
are left out
hung
to dry
on the skeletal tree
of an abandoned life
that We
Should Get
to Know
to the bone
and your soul
hearing about things
that should be so
by people who say
that they know
how to change
the State of Fear
that is shown
in our homes
Everyday
where lip service
is given
to commonsense
speeches
and far reaching
Promises

Threatening
It is within
those feelings
that i think
that have no words
that i can speak
and for that
i dismiss them
with a blink
of my eyes
pulling back
those tears
that threaten
to cry
upon a mask
that i hold
in fear
of understanding
Why
My Tears
keep threatening
to cry
those feelings
that i think
that have no words
that i can speak
and for that
i dismiss them
with a blink
of my eyes
pulling back
those tears
that threaten
to cry
upon a mask
that i hold
in fear
of understanding
Why
My Tears
keep threatening
to cry

Their All The Same
I've been led
down the garden path
you scream
he said
he had feelings
for me
but when
he couldn't make me
behave
like a slave
he left me
with a bitter black
thorny rose
that I bitterly
pass on
to the next
down the garden path
you scream
he said
he had feelings
for me
but when
he couldn't make me
behave
like a slave
he left me
with a bitter black
thorny rose
that I bitterly
pass on

Old People
The months are coming
the ones
that we all dread
the brain numbing cold
that lays heavily
upon our chest
most of our fingers
curled
like birds claws
all our joints swollen
enflamed with the curse
in one way we're happy
the Pain
keeps the cold at bay
while we stare
at the pretty rocks
in our cold gas fire place
with our
thread bare blanket
wrapped
around our face
dreaming one day
we'll save our pension
that's been cut
once again
just to see

Inside Out
Could you think
about your life
to except
what you feel
inside
to write down
all
you are trying
to hide
from your mind
that is trying
to heal
from the bitterness
that you conceal
behind a mask
of i'm your friend
when your dead
about your life
to except
what you feel
inside
to write down
all
you are trying
to hide
from your mind
that is trying
to heal
from the bitterness
that you conceal
behind a mask
of i'm your friend

Faithless
There are those
who believe
to have faith
one will need
a god
Then there are those
who believe
to have faith
in a theory
one will lose
Faith
in oneself
one will lose
Faith
in the freedom to feel
the pain
that ones empathy brings
to the table
of civilized beings
where commonsense
logical reasoning
Demands
that You Understand

No Money No Honey
You stripped me bare
you checked
every crevice
that I have
then demanded
those
that I have hidden
and when I revealed
the last
of what I feel
you say
that it is
Not Enough
