Father's Day 2022
Today is Father's Day but I have no father to celebrate this day with. Dad died nearly nine years ago on July 13, 2013. Dad did some terrible things but he was a good provider.
Dad worked hard for forty years or longer. He worked at a place called "Berkline" for several years and he worked at a place called "Woodcraft" for thirty-five years.
Because I have Schizophrenia, I've never been able to work. Dad supported me even after I became an adult. May he Rest In Peace. If you still have your father, go visit him today or call him. Let him know how much you care.

In The Face Of Danger
Today is May the 30th and it's Memorial Day.
Americans are paying tribute to those who fought and died for the USA.
116,516 American soldiers died during World War I.
They died while fighting the enemy with their guns.
405,399 American soldiers died during World War II.
When I say that many have died for the USA, it's true.
58,220 American soldiers died while they fought in Vietnam.
Hundreds of thousands of soldiers have died for Uncle Sam.
The casualties were far less during the Persian Gulf War, only 219 Americans perished.

Basket case
There is a smudge on my computer screen trying to clean it with spit,
but no, perhaps it is finger marks left behind by the strange people
Who sits in the back of the computer shop?
Their diet is cola and chocolate; they are thin, bald and weedy looking
I must whisper to them, or they shrink away.
They sulk if I disagree with their diagnosis, it will take time to get
my computer back.
When the owner closes the shop, they climb into toolboxes, the ones with
the helpful drawing of a screwdriver, maybe the smudge is a camera ...

Liars Convention
A few months ago several friends onsite asked me how was my Thanksgiving?
Basically I gave them a friendly run around because I don’t celebrate any holidays. But I seriously don’t believe in shitting on anyone else’s belief’s or dreams. So as I said I shadow danced around with my answers, but because so many people asked I decided to write it down.
On Wednesday the day before Thanksgiving I got up and dressed as usual for work. I hadn’t requested any vacation time because I intended to stay at home and work. I arrived at work after stopping by the doughnut shop and...

beer sonnet
Beer Sonnet
I have a bottle of German beer in the fridge
and naturally cloudy, first brewed in some small town
in Bavaria in 1624.
They didn’t make the beer clear and decided to call
the brew Dunkel (cloudy), PR, yes it existed it worked
now it is a world-famous beer.
It also cost a bit more, which never fails to attract snobs.
I opened the beer dislike the colour me, a Budweiser man
of the type brewed in the USA
A band of clouds was, obscuring the sunset it was Dunkel
a sentence not spoken but sensed even a child could get.

In Jail For The Holidays
I was so angry that I wanted to give my wife a slap.
She went to the mall and a baby was kidnapped.
She kidnapped the baby because we couldn't have one of our own.
I didn't know she'd do it, I would've tried to stop her if I had known.
I had no choice but to call the police and turn her in.
She was arrested and she's in jail because of her sin.
I didn't know what she was capable of when we got hitched.
I didn't want to be an accessory to kidnapping so I snitched.
Christmas is nearly here and she'll be in jail for the holidays.

This Christmas Season
This Christmas Season, I wish my parents were still around.
But they both died in 2013 and they're buried in the ground.
The last Christmas I spent with them was almost a decade ago.
When a man loses his family, it's sad and it's a devastating blow.
The Christmas of 2012 was the last Christmas I was able to spend with them.
Mom died the following March and Dad's cancer got worse and I also lost him.
It's sad to know that they're both gone and we can't spend this Christmas together.
If you still have your parents, truly appreciate them because they won't live...

2021 Is Almost Over
The year is almost over
with what we have to
leave behind. So much
has happened this passed
year.
We are going to enter a
new year with new
beginnings. It's just the
start of it.
Most of us don't really
know what's in store for
all of us. It is so scary
to even think about.
The truth is, we all don't know
what will happen as far as
home prices, if businesses
will be shut down.
We hope that 2022 will
be a better year with good
attitude and with good
spirits.

the race for life
The race for life
Once I was a spore trying to reach the ovaries
I ran fast (must have been athletic) and won the race
to be a living breathing human.
Had the spore lost it would not make, any difference
for a spore.
As it is, I have seen the sunrise over the Pacific Ocean
mountains high and rabbits in the woods never loved
by a woman, nor the glorious hurt of rejection
The softness of her skin, the colour of her eyes
When I swam in the lake of enchantment and walked
near the waterfall where lovers cry.
All this because I was...
