Modern Conveniences - Part One
We live in a high tech home
replete with magical objects
heretofore not seen in the marketplace
be amazed nay downright envious
as I, in detail, elucidate
Our dishes, utensils, pots, and pans
are visible to all
when stowed in drawers
or placed on a shelf
however, when they’ve been soiled,
placed in the sink
they become completely invisible
to every inhabitant
except for myself
and if one wants to wipe the table,
scrub countertops and such
the sponge has a chip embedded
that responds...

The Bushwhacker's Amendment
By the good graces of their lordships
And by the leave of the powerful and rich
Small arms are used against small hardships
Like a jock with an incurable itch
Who knows that oversimplification
Stokes the furnace within the gravy train
Of whole nations in an agitation
To rule the backward populist brain;
A brain which thinks the meek are at fault
When they mess with pharmaceutical pills
Instead of the rifles built to assault
All of the unarmed crowds which it kills!
We know the factor we need to control
And...

Ignorance is bliss
See I think a lot of you have it wrong
You think love is suppose to come with torture and putting in years shows your relationship is strong
If your years equals misery
And giving up is frowned upon
Then I bow my head in shame
I won’t tolerate disrespect for a new last name
Relationships like this breed the weak
My man my man my man ,bringing home disease
So in the mean time I’ll just catch up on all my sleep
Because you won’t see me weep
Or drag my feet
Yes, relationships can be hard but not ones where you...

Forgot.
In plain sight,I watched as she passed me by.
Carrying in her arms,her mother's tic-toc.
The journey to her chair,she sat.
Clutching the tic-toc with all her might
Tears ran from her eyes.
I cried too.
She forgot.
I tried to forget too.

Temporary things
Do not be afraid
of the temporary things
They are a showcase
of what you are capable of
of the temporary things
They are a showcase
of what you are capable of

Weeding The Fools
Just me and my muse, at play in a field
of wishful thinking, so I sow my own seeds
and reap the sweetness of my family.
You don't know me, a well-worn pen,
assuming me wrong, in blind eyesight.
But that's the way I am wary, not a fool.
Sarcastically, my feet touch the ground
skipping my own rope. Listening to nature
with my mind awake. Knowing the echoes
are only memories of my soul's awakening
with nature. Not braying the horn of a dethroned
jackass. I snap my own black eyes peas.

There is nothing titillating about nudity. Its a lifestyle. Once you are naked, you're naked. The maniacs of Cheetos push nudism as a cult. I could say the same thing about "singers" in Nashville wearing cowboy hats. There is nothing difficult about bearing the skin. Nudism is reality, cowboys in Nashville is insanity. You don't notice the breasts or penis any more than you notice a birth mark. I am familiar with, "You're a pervert!" There is nothing remarkable about truth in reality. You can't implant a brain into a Cheeto. That same Cheeto,...

Sometimes
Sometimes we all make that one mistake.
The one that we wish we could take back and do differently.
The one mistake that changed our lives in the worst kind of way.
The mistake that hurt someone we truly love,
The mistake that had us crying in a ball.
But it was a mistake, right?
Did we learn from it or would we do it again.
We try to make up for it but it doesn't seem like it's enough.
But I am sorry for the pain that I have caused.
For I am not that evil,
I don't want to hurt people.
The one that we wish we could take back and do differently.
The one mistake that changed our lives in the worst kind of way.
The mistake that hurt someone we truly love,
The mistake that had us crying in a ball.
But it was a mistake, right?
Did we learn from it or would we do it again.
We try to make up for it but it doesn't seem like it's enough.
But I am sorry for the pain that I have caused.
For I am not that evil,
I don't want to hurt people.

With Great Power....
How do I even begin to unpack
The weight I carry on my back?
It is suffocating my light
And blinding my foresight.
Times like these I need a friend
To help me try to understand.
My hope is getting lost
Because I can't pay the cost.
Too many responsibilities
Highlighting my inabilities.
I failed yet again
Oh God, I need a friend.
😭

move
i want to move.
move on
move away
move further away than i thought i could
in my head i am far away
that’s why nothing changes
because i am done with home.
i am done
no energy to open up,
too much pain stored in me.
maybe it’s because they don’t know me,
but i don’t want them to know.
i don’t want a deeper connection.
and yes, i hurt you. i did, i do.
but don’t blame it all one me
