POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
it is seeds that i try to sow within the words that i write
Trying to be
It is when
the dark swollen clouds
of despair
slowly creep over
the fragmented thoughts
you try to repair
it is then
your inner pain
sadly smiles
at the reflection
that trys to hide
the skeletal shadows
that look out
from deep within your eyes
whispering things
you could have been
if only you had left
behind
your human side
that makes you see
all the things
that should not be
the dark swollen clouds
of despair
slowly creep over
the fragmented thoughts
you try to repair
it is then
your inner pain
sadly smiles
at the reflection
that trys to hide
the skeletal shadows
that look out
from deep within your eyes
whispering things
you could have been
if only you had left
behind
your human side
that makes you see
all the things
that should not be

Dolphins
They are hunted
tortured
their homes
destroyed
placed in a place
where their freedom
is ignored
while we play the game
of being
what we claim
where we stand
on the throat
of humanity
within our shadows
of respectability
there is
a species
that practices
what we
within the shadows
only preach

Why is it
that there are
young men
who
have no wish to learn
anything
why is it
when you ask
those same young men
are you proud
to be
from the country
that you are from
are you
patriotic
they all say yes
they are proud
to be
from a country
where their people
desperately need them
yet
they ran away
why is it
they continue to live
by some of the laws
of their country
yet
they do not live there
anymore
how can it be
they want the country ...

Prove it
When the last us
who are still human
who have suffered
when we have finally been
bred out
of the race of man
leaving behind
shallow ignorant people
who have no concept
of empathy common sense
reason
will it be then
in your quiet time
as you gaze
at the reflection
in your mirror
as tears of shame
slowly drip
from your face
because now
you begin
to understand
to look human
means nothing
you have to prove
that you are
what you claim
who are still human
who have suffered
when we have finally been
bred out
of the race of man
leaving behind
shallow ignorant people
who have no concept
of empathy common sense
reason
will it be then
in your quiet time
as you gaze

in your mirror
as tears of shame
slowly drip
from your face

Lip service
How is it
that one can believe
in a system
when it is clear
to see
that the system
that one believes in
doesn't care
about you
that one can believe
in a system
when it is clear
to see
that the system
that one believes in
doesn't care
about you

The light of intelligence
within children
used to shine
bright
but now grows dim
because of those
who continue to abort
new born thoughts
of what could be
if we were free
from the ignorance
that this system
represents
within children
used to shine
bright
but now grows dim
because of those
who continue to abort

Habit
How can one be
when one refuses
to see
that for one to change
one must first
become free

Understanding
It will
only be when
one understands
the ignorance
that has been planed
it will
only be then
that one can
proudly announce
one walks the path
of the pain and despair
of being
aware
only be when
one understands
the ignorance
that has been planed
it will

proudly announce

Rhyhm of life
There is no rhythm
in this life
that we live
It is only
within the music
that we feel
the music
that takes us
home
to a place
we have never seen
Will we find
the natural rhythm
of a life
we have yet
to define
in this life
that we live
It is only
within the music
that we feel
the music
that takes us
home
to a place
we have never seen
Will we find
the natural rhythm
of a life
we have yet
to define

Mercenary
Where is the honor
fighting
for a country
where your women
and your children
cannot even
walk their streets
without fear
Where is the honor
fighting
for a government
that gives you
nothing
but pious words
nothing
but a park bench
cardboard blanket
and a hard pillow
for your wounds
Where is the honor
when you shout
those hollow words
for freedom
for justice
for liberty
fighting
for a country
where your women
and your children
cannot even
walk their streets
without fear
Where is the honor
fighting
for a government
that gives you
nothing
but pious words
nothing
but a park bench
cardboard blanket
and a hard pillow
for your wounds
Where is the honor
when you shout
those hollow words
for freedom
for justice
for liberty

No idea
Satisfaction
can never be
guaranteed
when you
have no idea
not even a clue
of what is going on
behind this mask
that you face
that your fingers
lovingly trace
around these words
that you embrace
with a belief
that they will
take you
to a better place
can never be
guaranteed
when you
have no idea
not even a clue
of what is going on
behind this mask
that you face
that your fingers

that you embrace
with a belief
that they will
