About Last Year
Patience, a lot of patience,
That's what it takes to keep going.
At many years of age
we just want health and a lot of patience.
We are not attracted to indolence!
We are not afraid of impotence!
But, oh my God, how much we miss
the patience to have with impertinence
and inexperience and malevolence...
We try not to give up on the film
at the end of the first sequence.
And hear the same poorly told stories
out of sheer indulgence.
We then allowed ourselves to sit in the garden
and count the petals...

walking through it all
dead fish dream of
water
water swims in the
throat of thirst
thirst and desert walk
hand and hand in the
boiling sun
the sun waits in the
trees of the sky like
a hungry buzzard
the buzzard looking
for something to
die
walking through it
all
bones of the old
bones of the new
bones the colour
of moonlight
the bones of me
the bones of you
walking through it
all
water
water swims in the
throat of thirst
thirst and desert walk
hand and hand in the
boiling sun
the sun waits in the
trees of the sky like
a hungry buzzard

walking through it
all
bones of the old
bones of the new
bones the colour
of moonlight
the bones of me
the bones of you
walking through it

the insight-less
spitefull
from the death sesh
turned thought-full
a corrupt fest
gone nation
radicalisation in inflation
as justice went sence-less
they teased all the remenents
a radical in fall
is known to land on the node
so be mind-full of your thoughts when everything explodes
the adult hold no enemy adult
claim the children is at fault
wheres the halt
every discussion of invasion in this nation is a sceenery

Die Today
You wanna run but instead your just walking scared
you wanna cry but there's nobody there
like to know how to fly
to find your love
you got to try...
you may die today
Die today
a faceless cry covers the earth
you don't fit in
they don't know what your worth
you know love, and you know fate
you try to shout but it's too late
you may die today
Die today
you stand up straight
you know your right
the things you love your willing to try
you may die today
Die today
you know love comes...

Pond Haiku
I am but a pond
Life happens all around me
All I get is rain
Life happens all around me

I pretend
slap on the mask everyone expects
it's what we do

cover our nudity
our vulnerability

okay
regardless what my lips might say
I hate to be so weak

tread carefully
look at me crooked

if your voice rises

I'm So Tired
Oh baby well I want your love
yeah baby your the one I love
after work it's such a hard hard day,
I come home and I hear you say
Oh baby (3x)
Oh baby I want you to love me
When I had such a heartache today
and everyday well it's just the same
work and slave just to earn my keep,
make a man want to starve and weep
yeah girl when I work so hard
oh baby I'm so tired
yeah baby not right now

Oh baby well I want your love

Listen
A torn photograph of the past
Foggy thoughts return inside
Moments that could never last
Salty words clash with pride
Whispers are growing louder
Time can wait without panic
Strung out on strange powder
Making the situation frantic
Old school analog creatures
Living within this digital age
Gruff with honest features
Taught from a different page
Sometimes change is hard
When no one stops to listen
Foggy thoughts return inside
Moments that could never last
Salty words clash with pride
Whispers are growing louder
Time can wait without panic
Strung out on strange powder
Making the situation frantic
Old school analog creatures
Living within this digital age
Gruff with honest features
Taught from a different page
Sometimes change is hard
When no one stops to listen

We cannot banish dangers, but we can banish fears. We must
not demean life by standing in awe of death.”—David Sarnoff
let me not to the marriage of pipe dreams
devote myself,
nor think life, broken, blooms best, disarrayed
upon the shelf.
what if the trivialities o’er which
much ado reigns
discolour all my yearning with their God-
forsaken stains?
how shall i mend the breach when, fallen blind,
the needle’s eye
through whose lens i must find a better way
to live or die?
presumptuous thoughts no...

If I'm Gonna Die, I Wanna Still Be Me.
Last night, I was speaking to a friend about the dark truth of human nature. And one thing he said stood out to me. He said he saw a meme once about an ape having a discussion with a man. The man gloated about mankind and its accomplishments. All the ape could say was "Yes, that's true and good. However, you have to pay to live on this planet, and I don't."
This is why I don't think money is merely a tool like I've been told. I told my friend that it's a way to exert power and control over others. I also told him that I don't blame anyone for wanting to kill themselves at...

Pretend
My umbrella shields the rain,
my bandaid hides my pain,
the mask hides my expressions,
the pills shield my aggression.
My umbrella broke,
my bandaids soaked,
the mask cracked,
the pills back-lashed,
and once again I am insane.
my bandaid hides my pain,
the mask hides my expressions,
the pills shield my aggression.
My umbrella broke,
my bandaids soaked,
the mask cracked,
the pills back-lashed,
and once again I am insane.

The Ode to
I work
I clean
I raise
I sing
I dance
I play
I struggle
I cry
I stress
I make do
I go without
So my child doesn't have to
I, the single mother.
