Struggling Autisms
Struggling to function in a world that's dysfunctional
Struggling to view the face in the mirror
Struggling with the concept of existence
Struggling with the impermanence
Struggling to kick certain habits
Struggling to look you in the eyes
Struggling with the these little conversations
Struggling with the flow
Struggling out of time
Struggling to view the face in the mirror
Struggling with the concept of existence
Struggling with the impermanence
Struggling to kick certain habits
Struggling to look you in the eyes
Struggling with the these little conversations
Struggling with the flow
Struggling out of time

A Wasteland of Emptiness
There is a wind blowing inside us, thru a wasteland of emptiness
Without the possibility of germinating to fulfill our potential
Our nothingness is an internal vacuum with an insatiable appetite
A black hole at our core, threatening to suck everything else in
Our lives are essentially hollow, lacking inner strength and vigor
We seem to have lost our insides somewhere
Our guts have been removed and discarded or lost
The void within gives a painful, drawn feeling to our faces
We know that we are doomed creatures, fighting hopelessly for...

Global warming did it!
He was speeding because of...

She didn't get the job...

You cheated on me because of...

People can't take responsibility...

Reflection of Tears
Crying into the ocean, I lose my way,
To add to the sea, where sorrow will stay.
To see the reflection of me dissolve,
I cry as the waves around me revolve.
To see, then fall, and splash into the tide,
Where tears and the water forever collide.
I cried into a river, where currents collide,
To see my tear just washed away.
On the bank, I did stand by the rushing tide,
My tears fell to the land, destined to stay.
The river consumed all I could resolve,
My cries to its waters did slowly dissolve.
I cried in a puddle, where...
To add to the sea, where sorrow will stay.
To see the reflection of me dissolve,
I cry as the waves around me revolve.
To see, then fall, and splash into the tide,
Where tears and the water forever collide.
I cried into a river, where currents collide,
To see my tear just washed away.
On the bank, I did stand by the rushing tide,
My tears fell to the land, destined to stay.
The river consumed all I could resolve,
My cries to its waters did slowly dissolve.
I cried in a puddle, where...

escapism
caught a bus
went to the shop
bought a bottle of scotch
and a newspaper
full of bad stuff
but I still bought it
for the football

You believe me, right?
I feel sorry for you women
I can see why so many of you hate men
I listen to guys and the bullshit that comes out of their mouths
Quite pathetic, I must admit
I'm sure it must really insult your intelligence
Sounds like their still in grade school, doesn't it?
It's like they never grew up
What a drag it must be
It's hilarious how much importance they put on your anatomy
It's as if they exist only to get in your pants
Like you have some kind of life saving device stashed up there
You know we're all not like that
Some of us have a grip...

What do you believe
It is necessary for you all to know that it's hard not to get emotional, when those who keep what is happening in the 🌎world. 😭 YET it has gotten more worse than, it's every been under this Biden administration. 😡 FOR a number of years pass and present. FOR sure it's a shame, that we all have been subject, to the deepness of mass, immigrant massive maggots massive evasions state wide, 🤨 under this poor excuse of this administration, who have shown a hatred 😭 of the truth of the words of the American citizens. 😡 Till they are trying to change...

Love it or lump it
Fear is your death
Pain is your hate
War is always hell
Cursed,denied at the gate
Slaves looked as sinners
Priests dream of fucking whores
How much more can you accept
Doesn't matter if you lock your doors
Love brings on hurt,
A sick and twisted mind
Screams flow into a pool of blood
Faith is a joke, are you still blind?
Hope is a black hole
Gold might be on a nearby vine
The middle class is a dying dream
Start thinking of creative crimes
Pain is your hate
War is always hell
Cursed,denied at the gate
Slaves looked as sinners
Priests dream of fucking whores
How much more can you accept
Doesn't matter if you lock your doors
Love brings on hurt,
A sick and twisted mind
Screams flow into a pool of blood
Faith is a joke, are you still blind?
Hope is a black hole
Gold might be on a nearby vine
The middle class is a dying dream
Start thinking of creative crimes

HoW YoU WaNt It ToDaY - RAP POETRY
I don’t really vibe with old tunes
Find them tired,
stuck inside closed room
Chasing shadows of a dying old moon
Tired of pretending they’re still shining
Stuck rewinding
That's how You Want it today
Gotta Hall pass , to walk past
recycled tunes that won't last
Old grooves, old moves
I’m creating somethin new,
sparks feel true,
You got me wrong if you think I'm fake it, rather struggle until I make it,
excuse me, while I take it
I’ll break it then make it new ...

Spring in my hood...
The first sign of spring in my hood...
is the old man with his guitar...
sitting near the doors of the market.
Guitar in his lap. Case open.
He strums a little and people toss cash
into his case. He lives in my building.
Around the corner is Mutt. He sits against
the building with a liquor bottle.
NYS law says open bottles must be in
paper bags. I haven't a clue why. He
asks for sandwich money and shows that
he already has booze - he just needs to eat.
Within a few hours, he has enough for
either Burger...

At Twenty-five (For Janis Ian)
Listening to Janis Ian's AT SEVENTEEN, I wondered
where the girl in the song would be and how she would feel just a few years later? So, I wrote...
AT TWENTY-FIVE (Dedicated to Janis Ian)
It was long ago and far away
the world was younger than today...
the popular girls put out...for free...at seventeen...
but never me!
Their Friday night's backseats in cars...
and getting sloshed in sleazy bars...
that was them! Not me! At seventeen.
At seventeem...I didn't know...
I had a lot of time to grow...
From ugly...

Missed Opportunity
She first saw him at the mall buying clothes.
He noticed her the first day of school.
She liked his hair and smile. He thought, she doesn't hang in cliques...cool! Smart and pretty!
They were both new students.
They had no classes together.
They passed sometimes in the hall.
Omg, his cologne! Dreamy!
I wish I had the nerve to talk to her!
Day, weeks, and months passed by...
they graduated. He heard she got married.
He married a girl from church.
