The Upbringing
Your parents have a problem and you live in constant pain
Your atmosphere is darkness as you begin to go insane
And the way you're going, you'll turn out the same
You hear the words of wisdom as you practice what they tell
You follow your parents teachings, as they threaten you to hell
And the way you're going, you'll turn out the same
My advice to you, is to follow what's in your heart
For if you don't, you'll be finished before you ever start
And the way you're going, you'll turn out the same
Your atmosphere is darkness as you begin to go insane
And the way you're going, you'll turn out the same
You hear the words of wisdom as you practice what they tell
You follow your parents teachings, as they threaten you to hell
And the way you're going, you'll turn out the same
My advice to you, is to follow what's in your heart
For if you don't, you'll be finished before you ever start
And the way you're going, you'll turn out the same

Lack of Curiosity
An inactive population is the key to government control
You pathetic humans rather watch someone's life on a smartphone
Than participate in your own
Mentally you feel helpless
Physically you wanna a give up
Government pricks price healthy food so high
Dollar stores sell you toxic stuff
They drug your food at your job
Mix hormones in kids lunches at school
Don't say no to the pill, it's good for you
Boys become men and grow up muscular
Short tempered and fucking dumb
Girls become women and develop these outrageous curves ...
You pathetic humans rather watch someone's life on a smartphone
Than participate in your own
Mentally you feel helpless
Physically you wanna a give up
Government pricks price healthy food so high
Dollar stores sell you toxic stuff
They drug your food at your job
Mix hormones in kids lunches at school
Don't say no to the pill, it's good for you
Boys become men and grow up muscular
Short tempered and fucking dumb
Girls become women and develop these outrageous curves ...

In Search of the Incredible
Life is made up of poems, prayers, and promises;
fantasies, dreams, and wishes;
lazy days, naps, and good intentions;
family, friends, and even a few who don't like us;
good times, bad times, and days without meaning;
joy, pain, and sorrow;
success, failure, trails and tribulation;
health, sickness, struggling to survive;
the passing of youth, the years of responsibility, and old age;
Somewhere in the middle of it all is a deep unending faith
in the good God above.
After all, wise Solomon told us the purpose of life
is to...

When Worlds Collide
Her world
at that moment
was her friends;
their animated conversation,
the joy of movement,
perhaps too,
somewhere,
thoughts of unfinished homework
an unreciprocated crush,
her parents' marriage or divorce,
maybe some musical artist I don't know the name of.
My world
at that moment
was begrudged playground duty
Wondering how I was going to get copies made,
when my prep time had been cancelled all week
And more immediately,
guessing the airline
of a plane flying overhead.

The Hood
When you
FROM THE HOOD,
LIVING in a
RUNNED DOWN,
RURAL NEIGHBORHOOD!!!
When your CHURCH, your SCHOOL,
your BEAUTY SALON,
BARBER SHOP and
the LIQUOR STORE,
is only WITHIN
WALKING DISTANCE,
When the ICE CREAM
TRUCK RUNS during the DAY, and
LATE AT NIGHT!!
WHEN KIDS ARE ON
BIKES, SCOOTERS,
SKATEBOARDS and SKATES,
WHEN YOU BETTER
HURRY HOME QUICK,
the STREET LIGHTS will come ON,
HURRYING HOME BECAUSE IT'S LATE,
When it's a SCHOOL NIGHT,
and YOU have to BE IN BED by 8,

Quiet as a Church Mouse
roar~
It began:
where rusty tongs clutched & pulled a dusty crown
through doctored smoke by cries made silent,
forced to hide from old gods in the dark,
where lost marbles, found razors, & misplaced
books of hymns & matches filled the early days.
Where great husks of heart & rodent sausage
stayed alive the memory hunger.
Where grave voices herald bunking bone meal
in dangerous machines obsolete.
Where cop & carrier pigeons crossed wires
to create a fear of phones & voices.

Scrabble
I have too much Scrabble in my L I F E.
I play for words while others
play for points as soon as
they come in the door.
Constantly rearranging,
but never getting the answers
I'm looking for.
If "X" marks the spot
and "Y" asks the question,
where does that leave "Z"?
And if "U" "R" always right,
then where does that leave me?
I can't see the end,
though I know it's there.
And all I'm left with is a
single blank wooden square.

Devil's in human skin
Can you tell me why are we still dealing with the devil's in human skin, for sure when is it enough of the lies and false stories of the media networks. WHO just want to keep us separated and divided, as they want you to believe that what they are saying, that what they say is the truth. 🤨 Remember that in this cycle of life there will always be good versus evil, as the devil's in human skin, that they doesn't want you to think for thyself, about what you really want and need to sustain your own life. For even the shills are against you as well as they, try to blind you from seeing...

0 - Unfinished Poetry 52
Rare are sunbeams in my sea of black.
Roses have thorns when love is under attack.
Sanctify us with a holy glow and purify me,
To stop me becoming your ghost.
Memories linger. Put them out of my mind.
Empathy I lack to your kind of unkind.
It is wrapped in teeth made from barbwire
And it causes holy fire.
To my every smile I will watch it burn to ashes,
All the good inside.
Let me not hope for a kindly sign.
Set my signal pointing you all in the wrong way.
Let me fester.
I can't try today.

Bugging
Blah blah blah we say
Words float gently in the breeze
Thoughts just drift away.
Empty phrases fly
Through the quiet afternoon
Time slips slowly by.
In the stillness here
Meaning hides within the blur
Silence speaks so clear.
Words float gently in the breeze
Thoughts just drift away.
Empty phrases fly
Through the quiet afternoon
Time slips slowly by.
In the stillness here
Meaning hides within the blur
Silence speaks so clear.

Short
I’m giving up on you and me
For my own sanity
Afraid we’ve only caused each other pain
Relentless to let our love die in vain
For my own sanity
Afraid we’ve only caused each other pain
Relentless to let our love die in vain
