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!

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,...

Why we do what we do
There comes a time in each of our lives, that we have to learn to walk away from the very darkness of deepness, with it's negativity that draws us into a different kind of space that's out of this world. 🌎 For sure my question. ❓ TO you is more beneficial, to the well being of your insanity that has taken, over your life even your thoughts and dreams. For my question to you. ❓Why do we do that what we do 😞 when it comes to our relationships, as we choose to stay in a bad situation. For is it out of the love that you have not yet truly received, for is it that you...

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...

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...

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...

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...

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 ...

Conformist's Plea
Here, we value your creativity
Those splashes of insanity
Your brushstrokes of wild ideas
Give such colour to our community
Just keep it within the lines
We honour all your feelings
Even pain, if it brings you healing
Scribble black across our canvas
We’ll permit the unappealing
If it stays within the lines
It's adorable, your messy spirit,
(Though secretly we fear it)
Just smother a tiny bit at a time
So we don’t have to hear it
And keep it within the lines
Those splashes of insanity
Your brushstrokes of wild ideas
Give such colour to our community
Just keep it within the lines
We honour all your feelings
Even pain, if it brings you healing
Scribble black across our canvas
We’ll permit the unappealing
If it stays within the lines
It's adorable, your messy spirit,
(Though secretly we fear it)
Just smother a tiny bit at a time
So we don’t have to hear it
And keep it within the lines

Wake Up And Smell The Breeze
Some reality, is really ironic
the truth is left on the brink
shadows and twilights emerge
there's only vanity to summarize
Poetry praising ego and libido
inked whims melt in the alter ego
they only smell of dirty stench
an empty soul will never quench
Self-centered attention stressed
the hopes for escaping repressed
introvert, shut in from reality
opposed symptoms of double personality
Insomnia and hallucinating...
