I Matter
I wrote this a little while ago in response to an article I read about child abuse ... abuse does not always mean physical ... it can be something as simple as neglect
Roustabout
This was written about a period of time approx 40 years ago. The Australian indigenous people were called 'blackfellas' by both white and black alike on the stations. I spent quite a bit of time with indigenous Australians at that time and had many friends. There was no disrespect meant by using that name.
You Ask Me
Just having a rant following a discussion with a friend
Whose Party ?
political suicide
Promises, Promises.
Promises, promises, all you give are promises. Building up my fragile confidence. Issuing such sweet, alluring dirty lies, Are you a vicious demon in disguise. Constantly telling me how you will make things better, How you are such a righteo
Baa Baa Dumb Sheep (and other such rhymes)
Nursery Rhymes for the modern age.

A bubble in time...
sometimes, I find my self lost in a kind of chimerical bubble like the molokini-crescent-shaped-crater-maui-hawaii..., i simultaneously see my self as the whole of it, or an infinitesimal throw of the dice, a frenzied ‘quanta-dance’, my logical, e

Not Just a Number
It is not just a number to those who grieve
You're Still Beautiful To Me
I dont see how people can buy into this bull , not even worthy of bathroom material and a waste on my cable bill for sure. I ordered HBO not hiphop abs. Love yourself be yourself. Make the change you need or want but for yourself, or a loved one, something better than because somebody somewhere said so. Might as well play a record backwards then kill someone and say the devil made you do it. It worked in the 80's or did that fail too...Cheers
What’s in a Name
I give you fair warning should you leave bad feedback you will leave me no choice but to have a 'poetic cleansing' I had the misfortune to be in a group of people where the topic of ‘ethnic cleansing’ came up ... I could not believe the number of people who saw nothing wrong with it ... to their credit most of them when they realised that it was just a nice word for mass murder completely changed their mind.

The Price Of Progress
This poem is about how progress has influenced our lives.So here now is what my vision reflects....."The Price Of Progress" Editor : Marikia Written 13th March 2013
Silent
I wrote this poem late one night around 11:50pm on the 17th may 1999.
What Quietly Hides Inside
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
Drive
Found this in an old notebook from 1990. I was in college back then and working at Hardee's. Plenty of time for self reflection in between those two pursuits.
I'm That Type of Neighbor
Ths is a parody of LL Cool J's I'm That Type of Guy. This is a compilation of bad neighbors I have had and have now living in apartments. I'm still trying to figure out why my black neighbor keeps asking for a knife. Any ideas?
Bjork
This is a shortened version of Bjork's song Human Nature. She is from Iceland and has a very unique singing style. Her other big hit I love is It's Oh So Quiet.
a governments legacy
money no object as clock is scrap at over 30million
I HAD A DREAM THAT OBAMA
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.
A Conversation
"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
OJ Simpson
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.
Whitehouse
Bury the blame in protocol, Drown the shame in alcohol, Bury the names you don't recall, Drown the flames and bury us all.
ONE TO STAND
we are ants they are grass hoppers
What my eyes, don't see...
What my eye's do not want to see, Anguishes me, to this harsh society. As I look to the majestic sky, I see Darkness & destruction, in it's light. How can one be truly happy? As we embark on this "so called" Journey..... Selfishly!!!
Letter to the world III
I had a dream to become a weatherman than my college took away that goal as well as the hurdles in my life that provided me with tests to test my ability to overcome. Now I write about life,love, and about things that I find going on around me. My belief is that we are destined to an open mind as we pursue a brighter future even though we are currently experiencing cloudy conditions. So to my fellow brothers and sisters don't ever give your dreams and goals for one day you may just be the one that our future generations hear about as a difference maker in our history
I am the majority
People in high places governing are so full of deception I have no faith in people who are out to have total control of our lives. They create so much living hell globally and yet never face trial for their crimes against humanity and reap the power and control

Fighting against injustice
We have to draw a line somewhere And stand for our convictions But many fail to do so lest they risk some soft position But thank God for rare exceptions with the guts to stand their ground and oppose some great injustice that is being hande
Letter to the world
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
Little Lamb
I am a child of God no shoes upon my feet. I have no house or home I live upon the street. I struggle every day I just want to survive. I ask myself most every day Why am I still alive? One night when I was crying I heard a voice so
I'm in Here
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
