R Kelly
It seems with all the cell phones we have rammed up the bullying behavior of people. I read that suicidal thoughts are on the uprise in America. I do miss the innocence of the 70's and 80's when I grew up before all this bad news on my heroes came out. How long before they find something on Will Smith.
Madison Trip
I took off from work for four days off. I try to break up the year with some time off as I work six days most weeks. I also saw a coyote on the way back to town.
Lament Of Yesteryear
Dream your dreams of yesteryear When you were young and free Drown your sorrows in your cup And cry for all that’s been Let those tears from your eyes Trickle down your cheeks As you wail “why, oh why, Has age crept upon me?” Forgotten ar
When Wisdom Whispers
Little rhyming and rhythmic melody…..about listening to your gut feelings.
Cutie Patootie
Little play on words about beauty…..and cuteness…..used to its every advantage.
The Truth about Liars.
"The liars punishment is not in the least that he is not believed, but that he cannot believe anyone else" George Bernard Shaw.

they say we'll come to our end one day they say we just won't matter they say we'll become our own prey with thoughts as mad as a hatter they say we'll run out of water they say we'll run out of food they say we'll kill or be slaughtered the

Runaway Love
That feeling that you get when your heart races with love, perhaps? :)
REO Speedwagon
We had some of the cheapest seats, at 59 dollars. The ones up front I figure went for around 300 dollars. REO Speedwagon is a good show.

There is a VR arcade in Dubuque, Iowa. I have also seen one in WI Dells.

Humanity's future
In honor of a world we once knew which will disappear because of our indifference and nonchalance. It's easier to accept defeat especially for those who are weak.
Kavanaugh
The big story this week is the Kavanaugh hearing.
Sonnet No1
My work sometimes requires me to visit people's homes, where I often get an insight into their lifestyle. This is an attempt to describe one in particular.
Shadder o’these Maountains
Speaking in a little hill farmer dialect still used in this little corner of Yankeeland.
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.
Karaoke
I sing karaoke every Thursday night, just one song. So far this year Gold Digger by Kanye West was my best.
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
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.
Values Lost
Another school shooting here in the States. It is both terrifying and heartbreaking.
JUST SAYING IV

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.
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.
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...
Still on your knees eh
One cannot walk this path that shines this path that has been carved through the concrete jungles of lies and deceit through the rotting smell of corruption and greed where there are people who lurk within people who have nothing bu
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!
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!
