Repeat Offender
Pessimistic fool by nature or so it seems
Always waiting for the other shoe to drop
Past the double talk and random schemes
Still unable to make all this madness stop
Change is inevitable it’s a product of time
Careless actions leading to another bender
Found guilty but never committed a crime
A social stigma spawning a repeat offender
Always waiting for the other shoe to drop
Past the double talk and random schemes
Still unable to make all this madness stop
Change is inevitable it’s a product of time
Careless actions leading to another bender
Found guilty but never committed a crime
A social stigma spawning a repeat offender

Don't Judge Me, Look At Yourself
People always ask me, are you alright?
You looked bummed out
Or they say Cheer Up!!
Smile!!!
What's the matter with you?
And I just stare at them
Nothing is wrong with me
Must be something with my face
Or my eyes that makes me look angry, sad or crazy
Some little girl no more then 7 walked up to me yesterday
She handed me a flower and told me to cheer up
It made me smile
I felt like taking the flower & shoving it down her throat
Piss off fucker!

Careless Whispers
How do you address the deepness of the nonsense of negativity, that has come from those who are hell bent on saying what they want to say to you. 🤬 For sure it's necessary to understand that what we say to someone, without explaining the reason, or the need for not having a discussion to clear the air, and to take out the negativity, that has been thrown around like a run away train on the wrong tracks. But yet you are entitled to your own, personal opinions as well as I am entitled to mine. For sure we can never make a wrong RIGHT, without clarity and pure understanding of what was...

The Misfit So Alone
On a sleepless night I recall on the past
Of old days when I was young in school
Of the friendships we thought would last
And how desperately I wanted to be cool
There was something about the in-crowd
And how popular so many wanted to be
And though we never really said it out loud
Some wished to be like them to a degree
It’s in our nature to be accepted
Even if we didn’t know how to speak
Deep down we want to be respected
Flaws and all makes us each unique
This is for the eccentrics and the misfits
To those...

WHY DO WE PUT OTHERS IN CATEGORIES?
QUESTION:
In frustration,
loneliness, and pain
in his eyes, sitting
slumped in a chair
he asked shyly,
"Why do people
place me in
categories?"
I asked him to tell
me more. He replied,
"I'm sure you're aware of
the popular practice of putting
people in categories such as:
He's black, he's white, he's brown;
he's gay, he's straight, he is bisexual,
he's a sissy, he's a real man;
he's smart, he's ignorant, he's
a liberal, he's a conservative, he's
tall, he's short; he's fat,...

Paralytic Politics
Upside down
it's how I see
like the bat
swimming in an aquarium
no radar
with the eyes closed
it's how I see
like the octopus
spinning its tentacles
hyperbolic helicopter
through a periscope
it's how I see
the blowfly
submerged in desires
with the head buried
it's how I see
the hummingbirds
the saviors
the redeemers
upside down
it's how I see
what do standing
other gentlemen see...

justice
A corrupt framework,
in the inner workings -
of all forms of work,
here in this world.
I expect only injustice.
I expect only inhumanity.
I expect only self service.
Of… Humanity.
Because…
The only justice -
Exists in the transcendence
of… Justice.
An occurrence -
that exists
in a spiritual/intellectual process
of… Exits.
You cannot hurt me -
because I am not here,
in your nation state city,
governed in structures of fear.
You cannot manipulate me -
because...

Deck of Cards (Collab With Duice)
Splitting chakra checkered card
deck reveals a big Joker of hearts
Aligned to be circus clown renown in mastery
to circles in aerial misdirection of arts
A bachelor of scholar in jester
to whimsical false degree starts
Unbalanced on high-rise thread walks
that net catch wild reaction remarks
Cannon fodder for fun launched
on explosions blown sky high
A cardinal jeered by child eyes
or mohawk birdie sky draws nigh...

Another Colossus?
Whiles valiantly attempting slumber I heard a broadcast, which I'm certain was the radio, regarding singer Kate Smith. Though long deceased, she is just now finally getting into trouble about singing a racist song or two. I do not sympathize with her since I am convinced that I would have gotten into Dutch right away had I been the culprit singer.
It is noteworthy that there is a now disgraced statue of her that has been removed from it's place of honor and covered up by a cloth. I am all for it. In fact, we should regularly replace all statuary every twenty years or so. (Good for...

Observing from the Treetops
She said I was “so quiet”.
I smiled and thought
that’s because I have little to say
about comings and goings I can’t track,
drama and gossip I never understand,
faceless names I’ll forget tomorrow.
Your words buzz around my head like gnats
and I am not a part of all that.
It’s not that I don’t try to speak.
My commentary is simply
the wrong shape
to penetrate their ear holes
Words tumble from tongue to floor
getting nothing but blank glances
as if I farted or confessed an unsavory sin
or made random...

cave man
(sensory overload)
I'm not fucked up
The world is
I just try to not step
in its shit too much
It may not look like it
but my head is ten feet
by ten feet
And it's usually overcrowded
So I try
to sneeze it out
Cough it out
Shit it out
Anything
I'm always staring out
the entrance of this cave
It takes a lot out of me
just to squeeze both eyes out
of the hole
I pull my hair back
because it gets snagged on buildings
and in crowds
And too much closeness ...

Things You Could Do That Would Hurt me More
Rip through my flesh
- anywhere, no need to be picky -
with a medium quality knife
like from one of those red handled sets Target sells.
Pour whatever stings most into the wound;
you'd know better than me.
Sew me back up slowly with a thick, rusty needle,
while some of the worst songs ever recorded are playing
like Bette Davis Eyes
or almost anything by Michael Bolton.
Put together a montage of video clips
of gut-wrenching cruelties,
the abject horrors that crush my soul
-racism, cruelty to animals, bullying-
