Bound To Rust
Fucking circus just pulled into town
Flimflam ringmaster wants to burn it down
Unelected sidekick dancing like a clown
Psychotic logic a smile conceals a frown
How much more has to happen?
To wake them from perpetual sleep?
Disappearing those humans they hate
When it’s the billionaires inflicting pain
This self-induced fall from grace
Turning heel as the world watches in disgust
Pulling the rug while rigging the race
Without allies our foundation is bound to rust
Make America ignorant while killing hope ...

Turning heel as the world watches in disgust

Your Dilemma
You can't protect from the people,
Who hide in the back,
Squeezing through cracks.
The more people you involve,
The more we need laws.
Laws that harm.
Laws that disarm.
And kill.
Children are trafficked,
Because of the laws that you practice.
That no one wants to reveal.
But I have to.
To try and protect someone,
From the people,
That take advantage of the weaker opponent.
But give them some slack,
And they'll fight back,
To protect the young,
Being screwed over, ...

hanging around....
foreseeable future- figment of imagination; a walking suitcase filled with inconvenient stuff on the inside; a "protest" postponed due to a "heart condition"(firgure of speech) and mind torn in two....
what makes life worth living? I've binged watched others' expressed their near death experiences- most sound replicated and nonconvincing; I've made a number of "off the whim" decisions; I'd like to think it somehow prepares me for a "thorough" and perhaps more graceful ending....

Marriage Stuff
We come and go
Independent contractors of a life
Watching the news together
A slow motion work in progress
Together many years
Dog walks, family stuff, sharing
A popsicle after dinner
Coconut for her, lemon for me
Moments in a marriage
Affection, gentle touch, sharing
Respect, dignity, love
Independent contractors of a life
Watching the news together
A slow motion work in progress
Together many years
Dog walks, family stuff, sharing
A popsicle after dinner
Coconut for her, lemon for me
Moments in a marriage
Affection, gentle touch, sharing
Respect, dignity, love

Insanity Within Humanity
She looks over the edge of temptation,
They whisper in her ear,
"One more step my dear,
All your worries will disappear."
She questions her sanity,
With more pills made by humanity,
That state her mental health,
Is the reason for her insanity.
She tells herself it's time to go,
To the world's end,
No one will ever have to know.
One leap of faith,
For an angel with no wings,
She jumps forward,
Listening to the things,
She has been called.
You hear a smack,

Showdown Over The Horizon
I guess you didn’t expect me back so soon. To be honest neither did I. But I’m always revisiting memories, or thinking about the journey to get where I am at present.
My friend, J.J. Burton, recently lost his mother. I think it was March 10th to be precise. He’s been busy, and I understand we’ll talk when were supposed to. I was there for him when his father passed, though there relationship was strained, it was still his father.
This one I figured would be worse, because he was close to his mom. I didn’t know her well. We talked some, she was a nice lady....

Disturbance
If we create all we feel,
All,
That's real.
If we form the space we fill,
Make this place,
Seem so ideal.
It's hard to find a home for hate,
When at times,
It's touch,
Lays so near concealed.
Slipped between conditions,
And,
Slipped between unspoken fear.
That,
Self perpetuated,
Deregulated,
Mission,
Those,
Notions,
Those,
Extremes.
Those,
Fine veiled mares,
Of nights and dreams.
Are all but masters,
Except,
For choice,
Except for,
Our acceptance.

We have to ignore somethings
Through this cycle of life we all will have to learn, to walk away from the negativity of nonsense, that doesn't have anything to do with our own lives. For sure we have to learn how to navigate, through the process of the confusion trying to make some kind of sense out of it all. Just because we decided not to entertain, ourselves in a way that is detrimental to our own way of thinking about life. For sure we are responsible for our own actions, that comes with consequences, even when we speak within a conversation to articulate, what we have to say in a positive way to someone. Who is hell...

Dolphin Tuna
I get called black,
But my family isn't.
Should I be called a Nigger,
By the ignorant?
Or should I use it for,
Scholarships for education,
To learn how to be offended,
By political correctness?
Should I pretend that people
Only want good things for you?
Or view them as leeches,
That will suck the life from you?
Should I pretend I'm from a country,
That I never grew up in?
Should I care about slaves,
If only the rich bought them?
Am I just a corpse,
In this lonely...

My Final Resting Place (The Blue Notebook)
It is I, again. I’m the itch that can’t be scratched, folks. Slightly annoying, but I mean well. In all seriousness, I’m just always looking for a catchy beginning. Hey, they can’t all be winners. It doesn’t get me down though, people.
In the immortal words of David Lee Roth: “You gotta roll with the punches to get to what’s real.” It’s all about adapting, being a counterpuncher, that’s been my entire existence. Some things in this world are avoidable, others not so much.
Look, I’m just a humble poet. With little stories that I hope helps somebody out...

Eh
When you invite someone over,
You actually care about and like,
And all they do,
Is spread illegal porn of you.
Should I believe he's going to be my friend,
After this site closes?
Or should I sue him,
For real closure?
What would you do?
I have his pictures.
I'm sure the government can find him no problem.
But he is the government.
Lmao

Back against the wall!
There’s an uncontrollable human urge to continue poking when you’re sure what their reaction would be.
You push and push and push because you’re convinced that there’s no limit to the elasticity of their tolerance.
In the end you act surprise when they finally snap. When the tolerance stretch out and you’re faced with a whole new reaction.
Machines don’t speak, but at some point even they react to too much pressure. That pressure leads to a fault and if your management approach is not re-evaluated, they develop an unrepairable fault, a fault you can’t fix. ...
