This Life Is For The Birds
Matthew 6:26 "Consider the birds of the air, for they neither sow nor reap nor gather into barns; yet your heavenly Father feeds them. Are you not of more value than they?"
I wanted to write a poem about birds.
I wanted to write a poem that shares the song of the Nightingale.
I wanted to write a poem that uses the lonely call of the Rain Crow at dusk.
I wanted to write a poem that shares the drumming of a Woodpecker on a tree in the not too distant woods.
I wanted to write a poem that records the mimicking of the Mockingbird atop a telephone pole....

Phoenix 2
storms rage in these skies
but I'm not scared
no, because I've felt this before
the winds cut me deep like glass
sill I pushed through
I saw friends submerged by the ocean
hit by sorrows relentless waves
still I kept swimming
I watched the fires
like hell rushing towards me
been burnt down to nothing but ashes
somehow I arose
memories of a person I no longer am
yet I still live
but I'm not scared
no, because I've felt this before
the winds cut me deep like glass
sill I pushed through
I saw friends submerged by the ocean
hit by sorrows relentless waves
still I kept swimming
I watched the fires
like hell rushing towards me
been burnt down to nothing but ashes
somehow I arose
memories of a person I no longer am
yet I still live

If I was right
I work away all day so
That you can stay home
And live the life I wish I could
Those dollars they don't go far
Just to where we are
Girl, I could be a man
If you could understand
Oh you know better?
So I'm just a loser
And it's not enough for you
Think of all that I should do.
I work away all day so
That you can stay home
And live the life I wish I could
I fight to keep the lights on
So your eyes can shine on
Girl, I could be so strong
If you knew I wasn't...
That you can stay home
And live the life I wish I could
Those dollars they don't go far
Just to where we are
Girl, I could be a man
If you could understand
Oh you know better?
So I'm just a loser
And it's not enough for you
Think of all that I should do.
I work away all day so
That you can stay home
And live the life I wish I could
I fight to keep the lights on
So your eyes can shine on
Girl, I could be so strong
If you knew I wasn't...

All Grown Up
The calendar says I am older
The bills say I'm on my own
The children call me "ma'am"
And the old women say "my, how you've grown!"
I feel myself walking in no one's footsteps,
Yet the shoes are still too big to fill.
I've fought, and I've fought, and I've fought,
And now my bravado has brought me to a standstill.
Going through the motions
Has left me in a world of daydreams
Lala land is nice this time of year
Away from the agony of what this life means.
I've watched my childhood ambitions...
The bills say I'm on my own
The children call me "ma'am"
And the old women say "my, how you've grown!"
I feel myself walking in no one's footsteps,
Yet the shoes are still too big to fill.
I've fought, and I've fought, and I've fought,
And now my bravado has brought me to a standstill.
Going through the motions
Has left me in a world of daydreams
Lala land is nice this time of year
Away from the agony of what this life means.
I've watched my childhood ambitions...

One unruly truth about this life we tread
Where whispers gather when backs are turned instead
is that.. people, family, friends; a familiar tide
Ganging up behind; where shadows hide
They spew their tales; this and that they claim
Calling you reckless; tarnishing your name
Your flaws they tally; your worth they erase
Blind to the battles you silently face
They know not the weight your shoulders have borne
The nights you’ve weathered; weary and worn
Through storms unyielding; you’ve held your own
A fortress of will; though...
Where whispers gather when backs are turned instead
is that.. people, family, friends; a familiar tide
Ganging up behind; where shadows hide
They spew their tales; this and that they claim
Calling you reckless; tarnishing your name
Your flaws they tally; your worth they erase
Blind to the battles you silently face
They know not the weight your shoulders have borne
The nights you’ve weathered; weary and worn
Through storms unyielding; you’ve held your own
A fortress of will; though...

(Brown Face) Emoji
and Justice Forestall
I guess it really depends on who you know
Or who you are and what the cause may be
But if I’m on the wrong side of the color palette
I might be screwed when it comes to validity
I’ve been called names and had objects thrown at me before
Just for existing but more likely because I have a brown face
Perhaps it was because I passed through the wrong neighborhood
But it’s tempting to clap back or jump at the chance to catch a case
In today’s world many of us are facing an impending doom
We have our allies...

why is it never Thursday?
I wake up to darkness
and silence
and freak out that it's Thursday
only it's not fucking Thursday
I lose time in the sameness
of every single day
try to break the monotony
but there's always just me
I'm boredom in human form
I'm the doppelganger of despair
I have nothing to say
because nothing ever happens
and this silence feels better
than the repeat of my voice
that has nothing new to say
I wake up and drink coffee
play games on my phone
the kind where progress is so slow ...
and silence
and freak out that it's Thursday
only it's not fucking Thursday
I lose time in the sameness

try to break the monotony
but there's always just me
I'm boredom in human form

I have nothing to say
because nothing ever happens
and this silence feels better
than the repeat of my voice
that has nothing new to say
I wake up and drink coffee

An orange and white wig stand
Ignorance wandered
lost in the vast unknown.
Faith stood firm
as a beacon in the night.
They met by chance,
two souls adrift.
In the space between
no doubt and disbelief.
Ignorance questioned,
seeking answers,
Faith offered solace,
a gentle embrace.
Together they danced,
in the twilight
of misunderstanding.
Finding beauty
in their conveniences.
In their union,
an acrimony emerged.
A void that transcended
their indifferences.
lost in the vast unknown.
Faith stood firm
as a beacon in the night.
They met by chance,
two souls adrift.
In the space between
no doubt and disbelief.
Ignorance questioned,
seeking answers,
Faith offered solace,
a gentle embrace.
Together they danced,
in the twilight
of misunderstanding.
Finding beauty
in their conveniences.
In their union,
an acrimony emerged.
A void that transcended
their indifferences.

Listen to the silence
Living in the shadows, where there is no place to go
Living in the shadows, where there is no place to dream
Take a deep breath to fight against your fears
Live for the moment to understand your destiny
Listen to the silence to find the way
Do you remember when nothing was everything?
Lies,
Cause what sounded good to you determined your choice
Your knowledge is fading, and this battle is just the beginning
Living in the shadows, where there is no place to dream
Take a deep breath to fight against your fears
Live for the moment to understand your destiny
Listen to the silence to find the way
Do you remember when nothing was everything?
Lies,
Cause what sounded good to you determined your choice
Your knowledge is fading, and this battle is just the beginning

Lament
Find me, fix me, mend me, broken still
The words you gave me bruise tomorrow still
Maybe what you think ain’t meant to be
The world it works in ways you won’t believe
Life it seems to be a flowing stream
Never stopping, flowing as it please
Rules they make, so cut and dry
Even tho nobody sees eye to eye
Time may tell while eyes are sweltering
The mask you’ve grown to love is hell to me
Take me as I come or I won’t stay
Life is short and the world Is so damn big
The words you gave me bruise tomorrow still
Maybe what you think ain’t meant to be
The world it works in ways you won’t believe
Life it seems to be a flowing stream
Never stopping, flowing as it please
Rules they make, so cut and dry
Even tho nobody sees eye to eye
Time may tell while eyes are sweltering
The mask you’ve grown to love is hell to me
Take me as I come or I won’t stay
Life is short and the world Is so damn big

It's a sad day for dreams
Here we are going through the same situations, that seems that they will never gonna change, for the betterment of life. AS we slowly yet uncover that what we see and hear is nothing more and nothing less of the truth. Just constantly being destroyed and filled with more of life's things, that are involved in disappointment in what we see is still broken. Beyond repair yet there is certainly nothing, but chaos and drama and madness of confusion still eating away, at the world. For sure it's a sad day for the world and life, that definitely comes with it's share of truth of the lies, of the...
