Institutionalized
Institutionalized,
A narrative sown in history
Has branches growing back
Some several thousand years
As humans started keeping track,
And a wise man once said
“You better learn or else you’re doomed,
"Repeating ancient history
"Kinda like my Moody Blues.”
So here we are,
It’s the current year; ...

The Sweetest Girl
With melancholy she’s drawing tears,
Sweet as saccharine and as irresistible,
Until there’s little else but sugared water,
Soaking
In an empty sundress by the field.
Sweet as saccharine and as irresistible,
Until there’s little else but sugared water,
Soaking
In an empty sundress by the field.

By Design
Paper houses bend and bow
Every time the winds will blow.
It’s by design or so they’re told,
For safety if it fold.
And when the tides rise up
The homes will sink to nothing more,
And the builders say
“Blame the salt and sea
"Who allowed integrity to fail.”
Every time the winds will blow.

Message in a Bottle
Well look at who
The tides turned in,
A lass as frail as brittle glass.
For years she sailed the oceans made
Of heartache tears, and yet alas
Her voyages continued on,
Despite the sails since
Fallen off.
Adrift she made her way by whim
Of wayward currents,
Day by day.
With every passing wave
Her ship did break away
From bow to stern,
And nary but a bouy left
To save her life
And nothing learned.
She let it slip
Her grip to let
Be drowned among her
Loneliness,...
The tides turned in,
A lass as frail as brittle glass.
For years she sailed the oceans made
Of heartache tears, and yet alas
Her voyages continued on,
Despite the sails since
Fallen off.
Adrift she made her way by whim
Of wayward currents,
Day by day.
With every passing wave
Her ship did break away
From bow to stern,
And nary but a bouy left
To save her life
And nothing learned.
She let it slip
Her grip to let
Be drowned among her
Loneliness,...

Yes
Where does artistic style end,
And bad writing being?
I couldn’t tell you 'cause I’m just
To perfect at it.

Inequality
What constitutes as new grounds?
When are we doomed to repeat the past?
These catastrophes happening
Aren’t a matter of happenstances,
It’s a war being waged by the classes.
Can you blame us though,
For being born into a system of lame
Institutionalized poverty and racism?
No.
This is a first world country,
Running laps across the hemisphere,
Yet somehow, and let me make this clear,
Fifty individuals are allowed to determine how the other seven billion people feel?
Truth be told,
What the fuck can...

Quarter in the Crack
I don't know what it means
When I see that quarter in the crack,
And I don't mean metaphorically,
Sometimes it's gone but then it's back.
When I see that quarter in the crack,
And I don't mean metaphorically,
Sometimes it's gone but then it's back.

Time Capsule
By the time this poem finds you,
Whoever you may be,
May you ask yourself the question of,
"How well am I doing?”
And should you feel that this was just
Exactly what you needed,
May you pass along this poem to
Another who could need it.

Richness
Whenever there are moments which
I don’t remember living,
That's precious time,
When weighed in gold,
As valuable as nothing
I don’t remember living,
That's precious time,
When weighed in gold,

Loyalty
Immaculate,
You are the best.
Take not for granted
What you are worth,
Or lest
Be littled by the stellar-less,
The lesser “-ists”
Intent on hellish influences
So bent to test your mettle,
Just
Be strong,
And honest,
And loyal and sincere.
You are stronger than the sum
Of all your
Insecurities and fears.
You are the best.
Take not for granted
What you are worth,
Or lest
Be littled by the stellar-less,
The lesser “-ists”
Intent on hellish influences

Be strong,
And honest,
And loyal and sincere.
You are stronger than the sum
Of all your
Insecurities and fears.
