JUST THINK
I don't want you to think like me, I just want you to think and open your own eyes 👀 and see what's happening before your own eyes. How they the powers that be are going at TRUMP, like a Black man yet they are treating Biden like a white man. NO I'M NOT PREJUDICES NOR AM I A RACIST. FOR I GROW UP IN A MILITARY ENVIRONMENT. BECAUSE OF MY UPBRINGING WITH MY GRANDMOTHER AND GRANDFATHER. Who was in WW2 at a young age so don't get it twisted, I don't want you think like me I just want you to think. 🤔 To see what is happening in today's world 🌎 of society, amongst the...

Gypsy spirit
Lights are different here,
Seem the sun won't come near.
Born in dem swamps and hood.
Now I'm in a cold damp wood.
Still it calls to my soul.
I love nature I may have said dat before.
Tent set fire burning bright.
Big Alaskan sky full of star light.
World full of ugly and beauty to.
I stand naked in the brisk moonlight.
Slender frame never been a big man.
6 pack started, thick calloused hand.
Roll another smoke sip a warm brew.
Watch the stream flow through.
Listen to the animals...

I Need Love Like a...
Hole needs empty space
A conspirator to escape from this place
An angel to fall on me from grace
A woman to sit down on my face
An advocate to ensure I win my case
A lover who won't vanish without a trace
But none of that's enough
If she won't give the dirty stuff
And play ball a little rough
And maybe shout out ruff, ruff, ruff
Yet still be soft as marshmallow fluff
With a heart that's kinda tough
Is that too much to ask for?
Cos I don't want a filthy whore
Or some old maide that's just a bore
Or one that...

A year's gone by
Almost a year’s gone by
and I am yet,
against my will,
a shaken reed,
un-stilled
and ever drained,
and drear,
a hollowed thing,
laid sere and grieved and low
by unrelenting need.
I thought that I was stronger
for my years,
and that by now
I’d know relief
from emptiness
and grief
that’s centered in the loss of you..
But this, I see,
is such
a self-deceiving lie.

No Metaphor Or Rhetoric
to be nice is to smile into peoples' face
rejoice when they echo, or else, just pass
and to be nice is to say Hello to your foe
not from weakness, but from a heart's force
to be generous,is just to give what you own
what you need more,that you'd be deprieved of
to feel the need of others, more than yours
and thus take this part of you, to then offer
loose yourself and mix with those you abhor
the hateful feelings won't exist ever more
they are only your own mindset and prejudice...

Children of the story
We all have the same gift
but a finger we would not lift
until it becomes an issue of pride
then the venom we cannot contain inside.
Backbiting, jealousy and egos did grow
until beautiful words no longer could flow
tongues become quiet and still
as fingers type words meant to kill,
ugly desires did become the norm
as demons took form,
now what was once a loving troupe
have become strange chickens in the coop.
I hope the heart can be turned sweet again
and allow the honeyed words to win.

"Apathy, What is Apathy?"
Apathy, what is apathy?” I think I heard that line in a movie, or someone asked in Philosophy… Anyway, forget history, it is our children who will aim and shoot; ashamed even, that our complacency and blood ruins their veins.
Everyday we witness the slaughter of innocence and choose not to do something. We throw a full bowl in the bin right next to the starving then rush back in to our mansion and call the police on the hopeless sleeping outside because they are messing with our lawn.
But again, We are the same people who veto peace for war. ...

On DisCUSSion
Honest fellows hate a minced oath
and when I hear one, I am winced.
it smacks of truth speciously quoth
and on that note, I am convinced.
And like a miner's dynamite
the detonations need some thought
since explosions can be a fright
and overuse means overwrought.
Still, when sentences get stale
just mix in uncommon cussing
and you will spy without fail
some feeble egos nonplussing...
about oration right brain redux
all for the sake of some excess fucks!

I don't give a rat's ass about the weather
I care about the planet
How we humans ruined it
But on a day to day basis
I don't give a flying fuck about it
I work outside
Don't own a car
When it's freezing I layer up
When it's hot I wear less
That's it
Weather obsession is not sexy
It's like wearing beige
Don't be proud of it
Got it ?

Because I can't shit upwards
Because I cannot shit upwards,
I use my shit to convince those being shit on
to rage against those shitting on them.
I will become the shitter
to catalyze the mission,
but know I shit with love, with passion and compassion,
with the guts and the bile to see what is causing the problem and die trying to fix it.
If it didn't require shit,
I would use a different expedient means.

A computer strong enough
A computer strong enough,
Say, as strong as the universe,
could simulate every possible future,
Which means in reality it is up to us
To determine which one actually happens
Within our shared experiences.

What Do You Not Understand About Death
Do you think death understands time
showing up as a final act
stopping the music
nullifying encores
That's not your only death
Some deaths are tiny
Staying seated when you want to dance.
Suppressing your opinion
Staying with the same hair color and style for decades.
Some deaths bury you three feet under.
Being the exact same person you were a year ago.
Avoiding relationships because you've been burned.
Keeping a job you loathe.
Neglecting your health.
Not actively striving to be better at...
