POEMS AND SHORT STORIES
Poet Introduction
I am at a very confused place in life and I am not sure why.
Just another day
The best part about today
Is the fact that it has start
If something starts it must finish
Just another day
Not a whole lot changes
Except the dates
The scenery becomes stale
Rotten
Forgotten and
stale
Yet here I am ready to face another day
Yaaaaay!
I lied...
I'm not ready
I'm never ready being ready is
just something
I am not
Just another day feels like
a broken record
That has bad music
Repeating itself
Over and over
In an endless cycle
An unbroken and...

Some just want to watch the world burn
"People say that evil prevail when good men fail to act. They're wrong what they should
have said is evil prevails." Yuri Orlov(Nicolas Cage) in Lord of War.
World peace
May not bring peace at all
To some...it's as bad as MAD
Lets face it world peace is like communism
A brilliant set of ideas
That are admirable
but...not practical
All they want to do is watch
with maybe some popcorn
A series of mushroom clouds
Thousands of sparks from gun's hammers hitting a bullet per second
Blood flowing more freely
than...

Free will
Free will?
What a fucking joke
Its better than any Chuck Norris joke I've ever heard
Like Chuck Norris makes onions cry
He doesn't do push ups...he pushes the earth down
The funny bit about free will
is the fact that we think its real
Like a lost traveler in a desert thinking that a mirage is real
Sure the water is there...until there is nothing but sand
Go ahead
You have every right to buy a Rolls Royce
Can you?
No!...why?
Money
Go ahead
Get married
But...You're stuck with her now
and then go ahead

Motive...what motive?
Motive
Who needs a motive?
More importantly
Who needs a motive to kill, torture, rape, pillage and loot
Sure give a reason
It'll fall on deaf ears
and give a few family members peace of mind
While you stay in a straight jacket
Or orange pj's
Think of nature itself
Does a hyena need to explain to a lion why it stole the lions meal?
Does a crocodile have to explain why it attacks buffalo at the waterhole?
Does a monkey explain why it stole from a human?
No!
Yet when its a people crime
There must be reason
A crime of...

My dear sausage
Some do not understand
The love
Between a man and his sausage
Not the one between his legs
Wrong sausage!
The all to familiar bangers, hotdogs, pepperoni and borewors
They think it is just a sausage
That's offensive that is
My dear sausage it's like my own child
Better than a child
It don't talk back
Or throw temper tantrums
Or drain your cash flow
It started life in probably a cow
as I love beef
The cow got killed
and in its death gave birth
To my dear sausage
After a long and tiring journey

My mind
The scariest thing
The thing that screws me over
Again and
Again and
Again and
Again and
Again into a swirl
of paranoia
That causes me to switch on the light
Only to discover nothing
Is the thing I can't live without
Its my brain
It knows I can't
Kill it
because I need it
But it continues to torment
Me over and over
from
Dusk
to
Dawn
The thing that screws me over
Again and
Again and
Again and
Again and
Again into a swirl
of paranoia
That causes me to switch on the light
Only to discover nothing
Is the thing I can't live without
Its my brain
It knows I can't

because I need it
But it continues to torment
Me over and over
from

The stare
Look at my eyes
My cold dark black eyes
Don't blink
Don't even think
Just look into my eyes
What do you see?
Nothing...
No past
No present
No future
No regret
No anger
No emotion
Lets switch the roles
I stare into your blue eyes
Without blinking
Or thinking
Here's what I see
A victim
Emotional turmoil
Anger
A past
A present
A future
Regret
Lastly I see a victim
Trying to be tough
Trying to hide your tale
It's a pity
That I can see through

Tell me if I'm going insane
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
(sobbing)
Looking left then right
Lean against the wall
Slide down against the wall
Lie on the floor
Stare at ceiling
Staring...staring...collapsing on the ground
Waking up to my drool
Ooooh water!
"Nobody likes you everyone left you. They're all out without you...having fun"
I love this Greenday
HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA
Maybe something will start to make sense
Sense?
Senses...See oooh butterfly such a pretty butterfly pretty pretty pretty pretty butterfly ...

Chaos
We hate to admit it
Yet we can not deny it
The fact...
The one truly undeniable fact
Is the fact that we love chaos
Sure we bitch, moan and groan
about people being
Raped
Murdered
Smoking
Drinking
Tortured
And that's by their own governments
How cruel life truly is...when will this madness end?
Yet...
A world without chaos
A world with world peace
Where people sing cheery songs
And not only on Sunday's
Sounds...boring
Without chaos
There are no politicians or sports...

Looking at the ceiling
Looking at the ceiling
Yet again pondering
The important choices
About
Relationships
Future
Past
Present
And most importantly
The food in the fridge
I wonder if all my work
Has been worthwhile
Has my 30+ poems
made a difference
Or am I speaking into a void
Looking at the pale ceiling
Contemplating whether or not
To carry on
With a light headed head
and a fucked up life
Here I go again
Looking at the ceiling
Yet again pondering
The important choices
About
Relationships
Future
Past
Present
And most importantly
The food in the fridge
I wonder if all my work
Has been worthwhile
Has my 30+ poems
made a difference
Or am I speaking into a void
Looking at the pale ceiling
Contemplating whether or not
To carry on
With a light headed head
and a fucked up life
Here I go again

Sane man becomes insane
Sane man becomes insane
What's his name?
Fred
A mild, kind hearted man
With a great plan
What's the plan man?
To get rich and marry some stupid bitch
He doesn't want a blonde
Or a brunette
But a redhead
Named Charlotte
With Fred and Charlotte bound by a ring
There was one last thing
To have a little offspring
Fred didn't mind all the fun in bed
Until birth
Welcome Charlie Werth
Pity the this story didn't last very long
It is almost like a very sad song
On the day that Charlie turned nine
He thought his dad was...

Time
Quite possibly the best killer of all is
time
They say it heals all wounds
Only to reopen them in
time
It has a 100% success rate
The sounds of
Tick...
Tock...
Tick...
Tock...
Brings you closer to death
Like dragging a pig towards a grinder
No matter
How far you run
How much you struggle
How smart you are
How strong you get
Time will catch up
It doesn't have to be now
It could happens in 50 years time
The advantage time has
Is the fact that it is endless
The worst part about time
Is it allows...
