Shadder o’these Maountains
Speaking in a little hill farmer dialect still used in this little corner of Yankeeland.
Michael Moore
You finally came to our area No more going to Madison to see your films For once you picked a popular subject Donald Trump And why we got him as president in the first place Did you answer the question of why the United States has so many murder
WELL PAST TIME
THERE SHOULD BE NO LAW PROHIBITING RESPONSIBLE MARIJUANA USE.
Cash Call
The first part is an actual advertisement with the late Gary Coleman as their pitchman. The last part you won't ever see on TV, but these money lending places are making out worse than bandits.
Promises, Promises.
Promises, promises, all you give are promises. Issuing such sweet, alluring dirty lies, Building up my hopes for a better tomorrow. That will only lead to great sorrow. Constantly telling me how you will make things better, How you are such

Karaoke
I sing karaoke every Thursday night, just one song. So far this year Gold Digger by Kanye West was my best.
CURRENT!
Most poems I title after they're written. But I've carried this title, and idea, around for days not receiving the words to express it.
Reality
All i hearing and feeling in every day life
Roseanne
All this political correctness is really making TV lame, thankfully we have DVDs.

America by Claude McKay
A black immigrants view of the US in the '20s, powerful and thought provoking. Have we really moved on? You could swap out the title with any other country and still the poem would make sense. That's indicative of the harsh reality of 21st century living
Records and Tapes
I have had this record player since April 12 and am enjoying listening to my old tapes and records again. I haven't been able to record records for about 35 years since my old record player record button broke about a year after I got it for Christmas.
Teacher Rant
After the school shootings on Valentine's Day, I have been researching teaching and what led to this and many other shootings in our schools. I got out in 96, as I taught and got bulldozed over by those kids every day.
Eyes wide shut.
Take a wild guess?
You
Be exactly who you want to be, Do what you want to do. I am he, and she is she. But..... You're the only you!!
Winter Olympics
I have been watching the Winter Olympics and remembering the news of Tonya Harding. Now we have the whole school shooting news from Florida eclipsing the headlines right now.
Values Lost
Another school shooting here in the States. It is both terrifying and heartbreaking.
My State of the Union Address
Just pretending what it would be like to be president, just pretending of course because I wouldn't want that job for any amount of money!
JUST SAYING IV
Just saying... 1/16/18 twkd...2/18/18
Money
I made some money working overtime today, though I'd rather have my time back to do some things that don't cost me a dime, like playing video games or watching my dvrs.
Small Surprise
Social discourse brings about high and low surprises ~; ]
IMPOSSIBILITIES
Impossibilities are real! The gullible simply deny! tweaked 1/26/18
A Robot Speaks Out
I was watching an Amazon video of their factory floor and all I could see was about three people.

Why do you hurt me have I not done everything you wanted My love My dream My wishful thinking My belief It is not really you that I need or want it is the energy from your fragile heart once bitten twice shy is the b
Time to go
It wasn't what you thought was it convincing yourself believing your wishful thinking is all you need to turn my world into your wants to take me down to your childish need for me to believe that your ignorance with your
Century 21
The hypocrisy and contradictions of our world in century 21...vast knowledge, huge wealth, yet war, poverty, disease and suffering are rampant, while others enjoy fantastic comforts and luxuries...
ONE WORLD NO BORDERS
Dedicated to our refugee brothers and sisters

The Homeless Man
Trying to fathom the deepest sense of despair of those who have no place to call home.
Things Money Can Buy
I was reading a post on what money can't buy you. Manners, morals, respect, character, common sense, trust, patience, class, integrity, and love. I know from personal experience that the lack of money can make life pretty aweful. Money may not be able to buy happiness, but it sure can rent it!
Books on Tape
There are so many self help book out there. One of the most popular being Tony Robbins who made over a billion with his self help books and seminars. Did he really help anyone? Probably like the lottery, a few win and the rest lose.
The world's last system.
i don't agree with every system. however i believe that different systems give the world its checks and balance. also the only perfect system is a divine one.
NOTHING BUT THE TRUTH
The pounding of the gavel can be heard Throughout the land, or so it is said Nothing but truth here shall be spoke By no word or action to be misled Wolf next to lamb he quietly stood No twitch of lip or blink of eye Twas nothing there to giv
GHOST
A sad fact is that the homeless and destitute in our society might as well be ghosts. They are mostly ignored and overlooked as if they did not exist.
Forgiveness (Haiku) : A Message For Peace
It's unimaginable the good will that could be achieved if only the top 100-200 human beings in position of leadership in this world could care enough about our planet to forgive old debts and choose love over war. Let's start over!
Understand do you
The problem with photos is the same problem with ones mind they can be very good at lying
SILENT VOICES
I wrote this poem when poetry was in my blood, in 2013. I have been re-reading my poetry hoping it would spark my visions off again. Sadly it did not, but this poem speaks volumes as nothing has indeed changed.
TIGER FLAWS
Some thoughts on Tiger Woods... P.S. Where I refer to all the rich and famous..... I am referring to politicians as well... and their use of facade is almost always!
Turn my back upon it all
I would love to go live next to nature, hippy style, for my last few years(or however long higher powers have granted me)- but they evn charge you to die, let alone live!- this poem expresses my frustration at the situation- 'urbania' is a expansion of 'suburbia'- to cover ANY urban sprawl or town...'dragon' is a reference to a life horror i allegorized in my oem 'dragons domain' also on here... my only means to reach my goal is my pen, and selling the produce of it, which makes me feel rather like an intellectual prostitute- you just cannot win, can you?...Yurs cost over 3000 uk pounds, Tipis not too far behind- there's my dilemma...
My Fingers
I was just looking at my hands and not really knowing what designs I had on each of them.
