Generation Z-ero
The cuckold generation
tide-pod guzzling snowflakes
begging to be micro-chipped
begging to be numbered
Xenophobic and neurotic
disconnected and psychotic
reprogrammed and robotic
Generation Zero
seeking- individual identity
trapped- in a surrogate reality
no social skills
no common sense
Easily offended
looking to accuse
begging for defense
from genuine experience
stampede of the sheep
march to the gulags
with faces bowed down
aglow with silicon light ...

Officer
longings for something I've never had
wielding the power some women have
my youth was sensitive and shy
became a mommy at fifteen
and after that, I had body issues
along the way, I denied the guys that were genuinely nice
hurt feelings would surely come of it
for some reason, I always attracted police officers
by this time I started using drugs, and my parents
had put me out for having a baby so young
and it was the eighties and I was depressed
my apartment was nice and soon I met the neighbors
they introduced me to cocaine ...

A dysfunctional family life
It's me again the story teller of words ✍️ I write these words from my own memories of my past life, as I read a story that reminded me of my own past life. 🤨 What the abuse had done to me a reflection upon my own life and world. 🌎 For I can relate to this story of living with a abusive man, not my real father. 🤨 YET he felt it necessary to hit me and to put his hands on me, when he was drunk punching and hitting me with his fist. 👊 Yet my own mother would say to me that's what you a man in your life. 😲 Yet treating it like it was alright...

She Found Me
I was being shy and was trying hide
So I covered my eyes and to my surprise she found me
On that warm summer night under the moonlight
She walked up to me, lifted my cap looking in curiously
“Why are you hiding?” she said with that a smile
The moment our eyes met there was something
As her group of friends and mine met that first time
I felt my heart’s rhythm thumping and bumping
“I’m not hiding” I replied still trying to hide
With a shy smile she must’ve found appealing
I was trying to be smooth in those old days of youth ...

Blind Date
There was no tingle of anticipation
No looking forward to him
Just thought that I should go
And meet a man unknown to me
fate had plans, as the stars aligned
my friend’s date and mine both blind
chemistry did spark we connected
our dates were sweet as ice-creams
so surrender we did to fate’s comedy
in and out of candy and flowers
chocolates and murmured promises
pillow talks far beyond the night
ten years later he walked by
I couldn’t remember his name
We were vague memories
Of misspent youth.

Broken Heart
She broke my heart
With her mind games
Telling the truth
Didn't set me free
But if felt right
to clear my chest
For Love Is A Bitch
And she will break your HEART!

Gotta know your name
I see you walking your dog
I see you petting the old stray cat
I see you feeding the birds
I gotta know your name
I know you don’t have a girlfriend
I know you don’t have a boyfriend either
I know you live on my street
I gotta know your name
Why oh why
Can’t I just get up the courage to ask
Your face looks really, really kind
But what if you think I’m stupid trash
I see you walking the beach
I see you talk to the guy on the corner
I see the dreams in your eyes
I gotta know your name
I know...
I see you petting the old stray cat

Why oh why
Can’t I just get up the courage to ask
Your face looks really, really kind
But what if you think I’m stupid trash
I see you walking the beach

I see the dreams in your eyes
I gotta know your name

Wintergreen
I remember at fifteen
Blinking lights
Color of wintergreen
Above a summer night
Underneath a June twilight
On a ride steering
The Ferris Wheel
Slow loud spins
Feeling alive
Elevated to the top
Loving life
Way up high In the sky
Laughing you and I
Eighties painted eyes
Red feathers in my hair
Glancing at you
Trying not to stare
Wondering if
You'll make a move
Or will it be me
Your hand on my knee
We're spinning around
Inventing...

eighteen, I guess
it was uncommon in dartford
to meet two attractive french girls in the pub, and me and my mate
derek were immediately besotted,
although, unfortunately for the
sake of our friendship, both with
the same one, not that it mattered; neither of ‘em fancied us ..

Just a Teen
My dad once told me being alone
Was sometimes better than being with someone
That popular people were over rated
I just got the feeling he was jaded
Because that's just not the way it seems
When you're just a teen
I'd stay awake late at night
Trying to figure out why I never got it right
Why no one would go out with me
Was I the monster they seemed to see?
Because that's just the way it seems
When you're just a teen
I've since learned the lesson that time has taught
That popular people aren't...

So Much For Keeping That One Promise
Even though she made
promises to be a good
girl while on Spring Break,
Shannen allowed herself
to go wild on a local
beach in Cancun, Mexico.
