My temporary job
I’m a lifeguard
No, I am not working on a beach somewhere yet
This job makes me forget
I watch my zone
save lives
When I need to do so
It’s humble
But I love it
I no longer tremble
When I hear familiar sounds
I get to wear red
I’m out with the sun
No longer a moon child
I eat well
I like to think I’m doing swell
No, I am not working on a beach somewhere yet
This job makes me forget
I watch my zone
save lives
When I need to do so
It’s humble
But I love it
I no longer tremble
When I hear familiar sounds
I get to wear red
I’m out with the sun
No longer a moon child
I eat well
I like to think I’m doing swell

Dinner with the devil
The devil came, to dinner one night.
He was a man, all dressed in white.
Light in manner, confessed a sinner.
Proved good manners, all through dinner.
Soon the devil, showed up often.
So thought that, I could help him.
He seemed to share, my every thought.
He filled up all, the empty spots.
To look the devil straight, you see.
A man that's vulnerable, I his need.
And since my thoughts, are always good.
I'd protect him, as I should.
Then the day, he showed late.
Dinner cold, made...
He was a man, all dressed in white.
Light in manner, confessed a sinner.
Proved good manners, all through dinner.
Soon the devil, showed up often.
So thought that, I could help him.
He seemed to share, my every thought.
He filled up all, the empty spots.
To look the devil straight, you see.
A man that's vulnerable, I his need.
And since my thoughts, are always good.
I'd protect him, as I should.
Then the day, he showed late.

a cry from the carriage
there’s scaffolding all over the city,
as though the structures might fall
down any minute, but it’s only
the bloody trains that are held up ..
as though the structures might fall

CREATURES OF HABITS
As we exchange our own personal chains of thoughts and insight, into this senseless mindless trap between the lines of your own personal. REALITY of what is right and wrong 🤔 For have you ever been in a relationship or situation, that you have felt like a outer experience. FOR your thoughts and insight and imagination. 🤨 Become slowly something that you have or not never had to expected. TO ever happens to just you yet there is no longer a exception. TO the rules of what is known of your own personal life. 😞 AS people are creatures of habits. For a snake sheds it's...

A Father's Legacy
In the shadows of the morning light,
A father stands, his gaze is tight.
His words are stern, his voice is steel,
To teach his son to truly feel.
Each harsh word, a lesson deep,
In fields of life, where futures reap.
The path is hard, the way is long,
But strength is built where hearts belong.
He pushes hard, demands the best,
For in his heart, he knows the rest.
A father’s love is wrapped in pride,
To guide his son, to be his guide.
In every frown, in every shove,
There lies a boundless sea of love.
For...

Freedom of Speech
In a world where thoughts take flight,
A realm where words weave pure delight.
Freedom of speech, a cherished song,
A melody where all voices belong.
Whispers of dissent, a courageous rhyme,
Echo through the corridors of space and time.
Open minds, like windows, wide and clear,
Let every idea, no matter how near or far, appear.
In the marketplace of ideas, diverse and grand,
Voices intertwine, a democratic band.
The power to express, to question, to debate,
Freedom of speech, an open gate.
Yet with this power, a...

What are you doing tonight
When I saw you waddle past me with your four kids, I felt sorry for your husband
Imagine him trying to get excited over that wide, blubbery ass of yours
I bet he feels like a man whose life has ended way to early
Well, shut my mouth!!
Who the hell do I think I am talking like that?
I have no right!
Maybe your husband is a fat piece of shit like you and he doesn't notice
Maybe you turn him on
Maybe that 10 mile wide ass of yours gets him going
Maybe he thinks that's the best thing he's ever seen
Come on, let's not kid ourselves here
I...

enough is enough
sitting on a park bench
in the late
afternoon
being mindless of the
world around
me
a robin lands in front
of me
he starts his song
so beautiful
it is free on the confines
of the human
imagination
I close my eyes and
let it pour over
me
time goes on and
he is still
singing
twenty minutes
later
the skies grow
bluer
the sun shines more
proudly
and the singing drones
on
...

Somewhere In The World
The Joys You Are Missing
Life is amazing
When the sun is rising
When the moon is filling
The caves of the soul
Summer is blazing
When Cicadas lazing
And the cricket dozing
In the shade of the moon
As Autumn is boring
The tree, her leaves shedding
In her heart, sorrows breeding
A mothers' child is aching
It's Nature's human feeling
Life can never be easy
When you are so lazy
Your thoughts are hazy ...
Life is amazing
When the sun is rising
When the moon is filling
The caves of the soul
Summer is blazing
When Cicadas lazing
And the cricket dozing
In the shade of the moon
As Autumn is boring
The tree, her leaves shedding
In her heart, sorrows breeding
A mothers' child is aching
It's Nature's human feeling
Life can never be easy
When you are so lazy
Your thoughts are hazy ...

Needy People Suck
I wanted to tell you
I don't want to call or text on the phone
I-phones Suck!!
Writing is what I'm going to do
If I wait another day, I may not be able to do this
Well here it goes....
You are the 1st person I ever wanted to punch in the mouth
I guess you didn't want to hear that but that's the fucking truth
I think you're a stupid piece of shit
You buy me food and then you want to fuck me
I have to leave to go to work and you get all mad at me
Then say I'm not paying attention to you
You want me more then I'll ever need you ...
I don't want to call or text on the phone

Stop feeding off the negative
Once a week I do a complete shave of my face
I look forward to the warm water, shaving cream and Gillette Razor taking every whisker completely off
As I looked at my face today, the only hair that was left was above my lip
I don’t call this a mustache because I’m not trying to grow one of those
As I stared at myself and looked at the hair above my lip
I said to myself,
what if I donned a toothbrush mustache?
For those of you that don’t know what a toothbrush mustache is,
look at the visual I attached to this story
Not a real attractive...
