Some of the lies are really pretty funny, if you look at it like a standup routine, and not the truth.
Men don't cry. Some do, not many. Ithought how excruciating to pretend you don't hurt for that is when it hurts most. "Cry and you cry alone, But laugh and the world laughs with you '
A sonnet for peace in this world in our lifetime.
Why does it seem at the very first look The bigger the girl The quicker the hook The prettier the girl she wont even look The smarter the girl shes already took If she is so strong shes harder to touch But if she had a big heart I cou
On the paper the nos are One to forty nine Which order they want to be played To find those lucky six Which order will the play I'll put pen to paper and make then in any way Or play a lucky dip and cross my finger hope come out for me toda
300 Lost
It seemed to me that once the Woman got pregnant, they want little or nothing to do with the Man. Now I understand the roller coaster of emotions She goes through during the pregnancy, but why must She make it more miserable for Him? Then She uses the Child to control Him.....what's up with that? Judge NOT or be Judged!
how i see it a bunch of liers
My resolution has been to keep the faith in 2013 because in a time in which all seems lost and our struggles are greatly increased we can be the change. We can ask ourselves why we continue to segregate ourselves just because we're different. Life is far to short to spend it hating on others for reasons out of your control. Look at others as brothers and sisters who are here to teach us view without bias and without judgement. For every life there is a soul in search of knowledge lets not walk with blinders.I love you all and hope through our differences we can learn to find ourselves in a truly United Space
I think of OJ from time to time. How he got off with murder, but got sent to jail for taking back his own stuff. This justice system we have doesn't seem to have much justice in it.
I wrote this poem late one night around 11:50pm on the 17th may 1999.
Fear Led me D O W N A long road Filled with danger Alone I relied on the word Of a Stranger Stupid is What stupid does Now I “PLEAD” So I can just Wake up Nightmares Fantasies False hopes Dreams Our reality Is se
New love...
It is not just a number to those who grieve
Just having a rant following a discussion with a friend
Just a little artful advice about thinking twice...
Watching the Republican Convention last night, I thought about Ronald Reagan who was our president from 1981-1989. I thought what he would say if he was still alive, or at least what I would make him say. I still have no idea who I am voting for, mabe Ron Paul will run on a third party.
Written after 9/11
I was supposed to get a Netflix on Tuesday and then waited till today to contact them and found out if I want their service I have to pay 16 bucks again. For now I'm going to get by like I used to, but I will miss my Nexflix.
Conscious thinking...
An observation in a shop
it dosent realy matter , if they want to connect with another just to prove life dose exist at some other place , apart from in their mind , just so they can justify their own existance..... yes we are human
Modern toys for you and me are dreams for others to visualize but never see. They have, but only food, morsels for themselves and their family. Clothes are there nothing special for not a one for no money there for eccentricities. Each da
the history of peoples lives that make them who they are........never judge a book by its cover i spose .......
I had a vision the other day I saw the future and it looked grey It doesnt matter which direction we steer All I know is that the end is near I saw the terror in the darkness that waits I saw destruction in the future we'll make Controlled by
Reflecting after watching the queen's diamond jubilee celebrations on tv
This is about all the events in life that happen that are out of our control. If things didnt go your way then you have to take action to either adapt to the situation or take steps to rid yourself of the burden. My original intention when i wrote this was to come off as aggressive and fed up, but ive learnt not to push too many powerful feelings across to the reader and let them substitute their own.
Acrostic poetry style to hopefully list a few universal ideals for "Peace" which I believe really starts with 'respect' and 'equality' for everyone else in the world.
Red Light Districts.....Gangs..Violence....everywhere !!!
The day after tomorrow I’m going to discuss my rights, With everything I am inside It’s time to fight for my life. This battle began 27 yrs. ago And I’ve built a solid case, But this doesn’t really assure a win Given all the time and space. M
Across this world so far and wide So many different places that I’ve been And different faces of this world I’ve seen I’ve travelled across a desert of mirrors Where broken hearts lay shattered in pieces Reflecting back their sorrow and pain
# hurricane Katrina (new Orleans)
I was quietly enjoying lunch the other day when I overheard a conversation ... from all these drastic actions he was advocating I expected to see a monster ... all I saw was by appearance a mild mannered man, normal by all appearances ... one never knows what dark monsters lurk deep within waiting for the right time to surface
This poem is about our changing society and attitudes of evolution and covers quite a few obstacles of our civilisation, this little offering is called......"Full Circle" Editor : Marikia Written : 2nd March 2013
"Please Sir, Can you spare a dollar? I've not eaten in a while. The nights are cold, mid winter now and shelter I have none." [Why does he look at me like that? Does he not understand how hard it is for me to beg like this. There was a time
Look really hard.... See? Here I am The packaging is a bit worn perhaps But look inside Beyond the wrapping See? No....wait!! That one's unfinished, unversed... I know it's agleam now, but that will fade And the packaging will fray Loo

Firstly this poem was written when Obama won the Presidency in 2008. Secondly it's only a poem so plz no out of timing comments on political views.
They don't care about life They hold the living in contempt They watch the helpless suffer Weighing them down On their knees… Begging And for what? A little bit of something Amounting to nothing Keeps a small stomach churning At least one
swimmin in the cesspool of this worlds lies, lookin to a future where everyone dies, their words invade the spaces of my brain, twisting my thoughts drivin me insane, lost in the darkness of this world I see, just leave me alone, just let me be,
Smooth, engaging, charming, slick, and verbally facile,not in the least shy, self-conscious, or afraid to say anything, never gets tongue-tied. Repeated failure to fulfill or honor obligations and commitments!
Did some reading on UFOs and have always been fascinated by this topic. Maybe some day in my lifetime they will come out of the shadows and appear on David Letterman or The Tonight Show with Jimmy Fallon.
