TWISTED (11:30pm, 6-16-2020, Palm Springs, California)
with every little
twisted fence
or hateful
fear based wall
you build or raise
you burn
a thousand
unseen bridges
to greater peace
to more compassionate understanding
to more empathetic love
and to deeper
universal
more meaningful
healing connection
in this increasingly divisive
near completely disconnected world
so wtf is that
no need to speak to me
nor anyone else
in such egoic vain
hurtfully hostile defense
when in fact
it s lame for me to think ...

compilation of short lived fantasies experienced or to be hoped for
what a world, right? where even those who reach a certain height by design have an insatiable ongoing unsatisfied appetite;
how the "average" haven't a chance; how the "underdog" against the grain-haven't a dog in the fight of what's considered to be a beautiful life....
where we've got movies such as "leave the world behind"; may as well be under a documentary genre type....
we're infused with all this stuff inside(emotions etc); and it doesn't end until we...

cruel "game"
existence.... willing or unwilling participant.... it's what it is.... some hardly want anything to do with this....(myself included)
more or less subjected to the external and internal elements....the "human body" itself is a prison within this fabricated prison....constant balancing act with "flesh" and "spirit";
this is "survival"-this isn't "living".
and it's truly just you. alone. when it comes down to it....
it sucks....

Ground down(on their grindstone)
After a long day of reports and emails
it's always funny how freedom smells.
After stepping out of my gilded cage
in front of a screen that fills me with rage
I can't help but to rejoice and be glad
for every sunset I've ever had.
It's odd that the old one's may be right
but nothing compares to nature and her light.
As I walk to my car,
looking into the sky's watercolored stars,
I can't help but to wonder,
if this is the cure for the spell I'm under.
Maybe I'll find out before youth has faded
what the open world has separated ...

Freedom
Freedom is the most overrated wants of life.
People crave freedom more than 3² meal.
They would do everything to taste that freedom sweet
Yea, they want to be free.
They want to do that, they want to this
They want to have fun, go places they'd never been.
They want to be free... from pain and agony
Free from stress..... making real their fantasy
They want to laugh and hence fill their cheek...
with rays of smile brighter than halogens
They want to talk, they want to see.
They want to breathe without oxygen ...

journey of risk reward conceptions/perceptions
once upon a time, few coins would enter slot machine; then welcomed to a journey filled with many plots and themes;
prized possessed within the confines by mere nature of design; when counting has been programmed- taught to think magic's with nine;
gradually the crawl becomes a walk-the body and the mind; then one day one's eyes are opened up for the second time....
some doors are only one way-such as the door which one appeared; now a journey of many roads-with many echoes in one's ear....

List #3 Things I'd Rather Be Doing (instead of lesson plans)
1.Sitting in a peaceful spot in Goa, India with monkeys watching me crochet.
2. Soaking in a lavender scented bath with my soulmate.
3. Perusing Facebook Marketplace for great finds for my apartment
4. Sitting with my cat on my lap and a cup of hot ginger tea by my side, watching a
5th episode of Doc Martin, King of the Hill, or Sex and the City.
5. Chatting with a long-distance childhood friend
6. Editing photos I took Sunday of mirrored high-rise buildings
7.Trying on virtual hairstyles
8. Playing basketball in the urban park I just discovered ...

mental shackles
There is little hope for us until we become tough-minded enough to
break loose from the shackles of prejudice, half-truths, and down-
right ignorance.”—Martin Luther King, Jr.
zoot scales fell from my eyes,
but i did not yet know
that light was mine, if only i would look;
brute chains fell from my thighs,
yet i did not know how
to move along where, years, no step i took.
when sighted men fall blind
by willful ignorance,
then shall all else, for vision-lack, bear blame?

shackles
looking up, down, and around; cheat codes? this "game"-this "simulation" without breaking the "law" won't hardly allow; trapped, and jacked in the box; going through the motions is my primary know how....
perhaps one of these days-i could jail break my way out; or just maybe one of these days, it'll all come down; I'm an alien no doubt; deeply discouraged-from most that surrounds

Toys.
We're speaking to a star right now.
We're apart from your reality.
In the desert,your expansion generates
significant growth,since birth, you've been destined to lead those.
Who you,have chosen to walk with you,on your designated journey.
Boys toys never appealed to you.
Girl's dolls helped you smile,through the trials and tribulations of your life.
This Christmas,your gonna buy a doll which your mum refused to purchase. Saying boys play with guns.
Youve played with guns.
Now it's time to play with dolls.

internal "inferno"
this is it; this is the outlet where one expresses the deepest underground "poetic" depth-of one's mental rolodex.... this is the place where I come to show where one stands-one's line in the sand.... pouring out all that one can....
saying it aloud as well as Journaling it down; it helps in the moment like weed or a bottle of crown; but....here it is.... where could runners truly go? where can we really retreat-when one comes to know how this human experience/condition is like being trapped in a cold avalanche of snow?!

who is Peaceflow?
a "hippy archetype "; an alien to this modern life.... a dreamer, from another "realm"; life is a stage a many-though one's neither the actor nor the one directing the "film";
natural; worth much more in one's purest form.... perhaps one of the troubled"artists/poets"-with a"gift" though the burden of one's environment-made it easy to squander it
