Death By Taxes
Exploiting the need
Setting the cost of this dead end living
In this system, the consumer is the feed
Lives for auction, waged efforts in short changed bidding
Cycles of debt make up bondages of dependency
Desperation to control in this market of captivity
Oppressive price tags and credit scores to earn a right to owe
Qualifying for financial burdens
They own the ground in which we sow
Harvesting more costly endeavors in this death grip for a home
Culture of the illusion of success
Retirement savings for future...

Freddy Krueger
(Inspired by the movie Dream Scenario)
Lost in derivative experiences comprised
A pseudo collective consciousness in a world behind our eyes
Picking up on hacked signals that swell beneath in stillness as we breathe
We dream in silence louder than a whisper as our hearts unsheathe
Imagination informants whistle blowing
Monsters in the closets of an un-event
Where is all of this going?
Torn between a life of struggle or suffering the pedestal spent
Side effects of a common threat of our own humanity
Striving to balance a...

Unedited and it Shows
I wrote a poem the other day
called "Aside From That Missus Lincoln"
and I just dug the hell out of it.
It was long, probably the longest
thing I've ever written poetry-wise
But damnnnnnn
I loved it. I just let it all kinda droop
Out, ya know? Because I have been
going through some rough times
lately, nothing I can't handle,
but sometimes you just gotta
write the freakin' thiing and not worry
if whoever and whenever can understand it ...

A Noteworthy Box
Tomorrow is a special day for my girlfriend & I. We're celebrating our one year anniversary without him. You may ask who is him, well him was my girlfriends ex-boyfriend who couldn't accept the fact that her & I were madly in love.
What led up to March 21st being our one year anniversary is a tragedy for him, not us. At one point after New Years, she decided to break it off with him. There were issues that were typical for a boyfriend & girlfriend. Jealousy, poor communication and affairs. He had other girl friends and would deny he cheated on her numerous times. A few...

The Flea Trainer
The Flea Trainer
I can see fleas on tiny seesaws,
sitting tiny swings that sway,
contented and bored to just pass the time.
How came they conditioned this way?
First, put the fleas within a jar
then place the lid on top.
The fleas will jump and jump and jump
hitting glass and lid with knocks
and after a while the muscles condition
the jump to avoid the pain
of colliding with lid and glass so hard
over and over again.
You can remove the lid. Let out the fleas,
even put them on swings that sway. ...

Nothing New to See Here
The days drag on, yet I still continue on my path
The volcano’s about to erupt with all this built-in wrath
I’m expected to push on without any complaint
I’m a struggling human being, not some perfect saint.
I do bother to stick to my convictions
Because I’m sick and tired of acting on presumptions
This planetary war between love and hate
Is making it harder for me to separate…
The reality of life from what I truly yearn
Dreams are dead was the hardest lesson to learn
Yet here I am, still struggling ever more
My body’s chained...

Einstein in a Cave
"at last"! exclaims the man
laying down his stone tools
marveling at the brilliance of the message
"hey gramps, stop wasting time and come aid the hunt"
the man just shakes his head
people are too blind to see
but the message will remain and be a guide to others
.
Immortalized forever and carved in stone
"e = mc2"
so few words for people to understand
certainly no one in his tribe
as he shakes his head in wonder
"we...

The land of honey?
Most Americans I know of are writers and artists
who sees when a crime has been committed
alas, the US government and its politicians are held
in the grasp of the Zionist who has thoroughly
corrupted most of those who carry a big responsibility
for world peace, fail to do so.
I love America, but my love affair with this great land has taken many knocks and led astray by enemies within its border who have, because of US generosity, been able to grab the political power and rule America

>¡* >¡* >¡* dreaming
All that we see or seem is but a dream
within a dream.”―Edgar Allan Poe
mine are not nighttime pillow dreams
that are, at daybreak, fled;
they come forth, bursting at the seams,
when slumberfest is dead.
my eyes are open widest, when
i gaze upon the face
of destinations far from men
...

crucial moments
Rivers don't drink their own waters; trees don't eat their own fruits. The salt seasons
the soup in order to have its purpose fulfilled. Live for others!”—Israelmore Ayivor
a river carries life,
a river carries death;
a river carries pleasures,
a river carries pain.
some, swept away by strife,
return not from beneath,

Raindancing in a Desert Through a Timewarp
You are a one-way Time machine headed ever deeper into the future. Time wedges itself between you and the past and grows, pushing you further apart. That distance doesn’t generate clarity or insight, but it can be a room where Hope and Disappointment learn how to have a conversation, so Hope doesn’t grow up to be Expectation or Attachment. Complicating matters, your central processor can glitch: interrupted interpretations, inventing false inventory, introducing a retroactive, unintentional attention intervention. Hindsight 2.0 is not effective antivirus prevention as advertised. It’s not...

On Purpose
Purpose is the compass that guides the soul,
The flame that ignites and makes us whole.
It leads us through dark and treacherous terrain,
And drives us forward through joys and pains.
For without purpose, we are lost at sea,
Drifting aimlessly, with no place to be.
But with it, we discover our true north,
And the path that brings us the greatest worth.
When tragedy strikes and we're brought to our knees,
Purpose can be the rope that helps us seize
The strength to stand and rise once again,
And persevere through the sorrow and...

And the path that brings us the greatest worth.
