the depths of human souls
like the roads & traffic lights; billboards and construction cites;
something is always at work; the closest one to you would throw you a shovel and tell you to dig with a smirk;
by the time you realize the dirt on the inside; you've been figuratively buried alive; and you say to your self; so this is why death is at an all time high....
why relationships don't work that appear the most promising on the outside; why the rate is so high in suicide;...

We are
We're the gods and the monkeys,
the animal and the angel,
demons and the saviors
baffled by our own behavior,
stifled by the screaming silence
we act out in defiance and division,
no interest in an alliance
we'd rather remain imprisoned
in our differences and dark decisions..
We're inventive and destructive
with our incentive to improve or neglect
erecting endless things day in day out
no doubt it's dulling
and drones on and on..
We're lovers and we're killers
dreamers creators and sinners,
watch...

Not My World
I've entered a whole new world
Of perfectly mowed lawns
Sandy beaches
And never ending sunsets
People dressed in clothes way too expensive for me
I stand out
I don't belong
But I'm here with my friend
And she fits right in
So I receive fake smiles and happy voices....until they think I'm out of earshot
I've entered a whole new world
Where everyone owns boats and kayaks and jet skis
They keep these novelties at their 'camps'
Or more accurately--a second home next to a lake
I want to laugh at their lavish lifestyle
So...
Of perfectly mowed lawns
Sandy beaches
And never ending sunsets
People dressed in clothes way too expensive for me
I stand out
I don't belong
But I'm here with my friend
And she fits right in
So I receive fake smiles and happy voices....until they think I'm out of earshot
I've entered a whole new world
Where everyone owns boats and kayaks and jet skis
They keep these novelties at their 'camps'
Or more accurately--a second home next to a lake
I want to laugh at their lavish lifestyle

We All Bleed Red
Despite this being the place of my birth
I'm not to keen on planet Earth
That's my opinion, for what it's worth
When lies become truths, and truths become lies
And reality becomes a thing, often denied
That's my opinion, behind which i cannot hide
Behind the mayhem, and murder, and pillage, and rape
Existence on Earth, is like a sour grape
That's my opinion, there is no escape
Countries where LGBT people and more
Face death penalties and prison, what for?
That's my opinion, careful where you tour
The same...

Atypical Collectivism - the gifting economy
Not theft or slavery
Not obligation
Not guiltiness
Gifting economies ride on two
compelling heart strings
need and worth
It’s faith
in reciprocity
in sheer mass of kindly
similarities
It’s hope for possibility
knowing how
80 percent can be
It’s love
knowing that
delaying gratification
giving forward
on gratitude
is symbiotic with prosperity
upright honest capitalism
a far cry apart
from short sighted
greedy
dishonest

celebrity status
binoculars on deck; something nice chased by iced tea;
you're lucky to have met anyone "less", than another celebrity;
what ever happened to the way things used to be; like small conversations over breakfast, lunch, or dinner low-key without the group selfies;
the "hit me on Instagram" the "snap chat me...." it's hard to believe that this is the reality; like may I meet and speak to a normal human being please?
preferably a woman where your chances are at least 50/50;
even a covid 19 killing...

Remember
Remember the titans
The 300 Spartans
The war and the fighting
The blood and the sweat
Remember the soldiers
The ones who have died
The moving of boulders
The making of life
Remember the greatest spy
Dream to be the true light
Even as time will pass you by
Look within your heart and soul
Remember the Revolution
The turning of tables
The start of evolution
A battle to the end
Remember 9/11
The planes as they crashed
I hope they're in heaven
A paradise to be
Remember...

when the gun goes off....
when the gun goes off; the herd bolts through; relentless, raw, running pursuits; there's first place, second, third acknowledged too;
an 8 horse race; the laps ran-2; the one in last place still did flew; despite the gap between the crew;
the worth still there, despite results; there was no question that it clearly lost; but it ran its race, when the gun went off;
it runs cause, that's what "horses" do; the horse in last still wants/needs "love" too....

Seal
I think l am more sea dog than human,
more common than thought.
In the early days I needed a gathering,
those to care for me - I assume it's innate
as I've aged I'm more hermit than hungry
and yet, for your face,
I'll pop up in that boundless sea
just to let you know there's still something so bewitching about your person.
I shan't nip at your legs
like I did when your flesh was fresher
but instead stare, enchanted by
how life's taken us.
I'll satisify my heart, covered in blubber and silvered skin,...
more common than thought.

I got
No matter what others say, think, or do
to me
acknowledging the pain of thorns is
part of the whole
From branch to branch, visit your roses,
adorn them, thorny as they are
Instead of my rough minded retort i will
transform into beauty
Into the whole rose tree
The birds, cheep-cheep, they fly—
Adore them, Offer them a forest
What is the highest spiritual?
