Dancing Flame
When I'm out in the day my shadow follows me
when I'm out at night I follow my shadow
when there's no light I make it
when there's no dark I recreate it
my heart beats to the unfamiliar
my face smiles at the wild
the path is not right or left
nor forward or backward
the aura is hot ice and a cold June
laying by water I speak fiery words to an ostrich
it catches wind finally and cause things to go up in smoke.
when I'm out at night I follow my shadow

the aura is hot ice and a cold June
laying by water I speak fiery words to an ostrich

Guns don't kill people
As we look out into the world that we have to live within now, it's a shame that there are some young people's who have no regards, for taking a life as it is a human being rights, to be able to come and go for just a walk outside and not to be afraid losing there own life. At the hands of teenagers walking around the neighborhood, with guns or a rifles, just randomly firing the gun spraying bullets, everywhere with no regards to who they may have shot or kill. 🤔 For sure it's a sad world 🌎 that we all are living in now. Yet let's not forget to remember those, who have come...

Naught
Have you heard them?
The sound of the inevitable halt.
The friction of the intellectual mind
Rubbing against the salt.
In this world full of fear
Of difference
Intelligence is soft
Expand, or the world will shrink
Beneath you
Be kind, or the universe will lock
There isn’t enough rooms in which
Good deeds are done for naught
Are you scared of what is coming?
What if it is what you give?
Would your life be in ruins
If the world did what you did?
The sound of the inevitable halt.
The friction of the intellectual mind
Rubbing against the salt.
In this world full of fear
Of difference
Intelligence is soft
Expand, or the world will shrink
Beneath you
Be kind, or the universe will lock
There isn’t enough rooms in which
Good deeds are done for naught
Are you scared of what is coming?
What if it is what you give?
Would your life be in ruins
If the world did what you did?

Dissimulation
When was the last time you let yourself breathe?
Did you sink beneath the surface?
In this modern, purposeless society
Did you see the dissimulation?
Look outwards
Never inwards
Let your god be in the sky
Let your passions be connected
To sprout and slowly die
Did you let yourself breathe today?
For the realness to wash in
Those strange, suppressed feelings
That never breaks out of the skin.
Did you feel before you understood?
Let that be a start.
This...
Did you sink beneath the surface?
In this modern, purposeless society
Did you see the dissimulation?
Look outwards
Never inwards
Let your god be in the sky
Let your passions be connected
To sprout and slowly die
Did you let yourself breathe today?
For the realness to wash in
Those strange, suppressed feelings
That never breaks out of the skin.
Did you feel before you understood?
Let that be a start.

Market
What good comes from the death
That you’ve contributed to?
What’s done with the energy you burn?
Are living things captured and slaughtered
For you to mundanely roam?
What resources have you dried up
For blood circulating in your veins?
The earth stripped away
How does that coffee taste?
How many injustices did it take?
Where will it rot this time?
We are an unsustainable nation
Who has traded comfort for misdeeds
We blame the ones who hold the reins
But we stay on our knees.

Wrought
Expansion or stagnation?
I’ll say what the darkness does.
Hopefully, shrinks
when you wake up
And finally turn that light on.
Do you dream,
Or is it all just a nightmare?
Fluttering lids
And grinding teeth
Let yourself rage
Against the coming of days
As the earth shifts
Right under your feet
Will it be expansion
Or stagnation?
Luke warm egos stirring the pot
Don’t be fooled by their wretched rules
Gravity is never this wrought.

Unrelenting
Are you outside in
Or inside out?
Where does the pressure hit you?
Did the news today
Take your breath away
Or was that the unresolved tension?
Do you want to scream or isolate?
Can you halt the growing suspicion
Our moralities flushed
Freedom's dust
(Or is it that the unempathetic,
Cruel, and malicious
Are at the forefront?)
Are you outside in
Or inside out?
What pressure are you putting?
Passivity will end this world.
Peace must be...
Or inside out?

Postponed
The thing I fear the most in this world is bearing a child
Society wants me to believe that this is against my nature
But I was not born with the maternal instinct to nurture
Or if I was, it was ground down by who I called mother
Or maybe because I was thirteen
When I was shown how babies were made
(Months of me carrying only shame)
Or when Mother drove me to the Women’s Christian Clinic
Without a word of what would proceed
(I still can’t go to the gynecologist)
Maybe because my adolescent hormones...

Deviant
I'm deviant
So goddamn deviant
I'm deviant
You have a problem with that?
I've always felt this in my heart
It's deep within my soul
Most of you will never know me
Long enough as I grow old
Parents told me from the start
Heard the same shit in school
So much of it through the years
Damn right I believe it's true
Can't stop being restless & curious
Buried in my gut you see
I'll never ever listened to you
As a child or when I turn 93
You know what kind of crowd
I hang...

Without Compassion
In shadows cast by anger’s blaze
roaming with sorrow’s heavy heart
in a world where kindness fades
and empathy seems torn apart
Afraid for all of humanity
as fury seethes, tears away
leaving each in separation
and resentment leads the way
Compassion ceases to exist
darkness seeps into the soul
living in this sullen time
we are no longer whole
Where mercy’s song is ignored
fearing what lies ahead, unseen
as we wander in the dark
where no places are serene
Lacking love that kept us grounded ...
roaming with sorrow’s heavy heart
in a world where kindness fades
and empathy seems torn apart
Afraid for all of humanity
as fury seethes, tears away
leaving each in separation
and resentment leads the way
Compassion ceases to exist

living in this sullen time
we are no longer whole
Where mercy’s song is ignored

Real Talk
Ain't nobody interested,
In that petty shit,
You call friendship.
I just want some chips and dip.
Some balls and dick,
And Netflix.
Let me guess,
You're dyslexic?
Stupid bitch.
Hmpf!

Addiction
Excuse me.
Excuse me!
EXCUSE ME!!!
Yes you. I have a question to ask.
Why does it take several times for you to respond to me?
You can't answer that
I know why...
It's because your head is buried into that device they call a smartphone
It seems that your compulsive behavior with this machine is creating a barrier amongst others
Sure you may have loads of friends online, but you can't truly see, feel or hear them
Your "friends" are not really your "friends"
Is it that necessary to refresh your post...
