Letter to the world III

Quick someone duck this man is about to strike with another style,
A verse or rap depending on however you feel to try to profile.
I might need help to digest that we send our kids to public schools,
Only to have them given a textbook as they take away their tools.
Come on now why is it everything we do require a contract,
Especially when most of the time nothing is being added just subtract.
I'm also not going to blame the president when its at fault.
So the next time you hear something from someone with a bias don't give it a grain of salt

About this poem:
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

Elegy for Juarez

"I'm gonna cut you off" he says
the small view gang man of Juarez

hollow points and hollowed head
detached triggers pulled and bled

the reasons lost, the lives tossed
no matter, no sense, the lines crossed

can we make sense in drug induced times
of bluntly unworthy familial crimes

power and money and money and power
humanity we snort and slowly devour

who's the culprit who's the victim
the police can't save the judges dictum

we all have died a little death
when children die and kill for meth

Cold Fusion

Cold Fusion

By the red glow
Of atmospheric events,
Aurora,
Burning, in a sense.
Eden burning,
Sunlight shining,
Curved,
We are round,
Not square,
Cold energy
Masquerading
As dark matter.
Still, and quiet,
Starlight shining
Cold and vast,
It's soul-blinding,
Small, and
Smaller by the day
Incredible
Shrinking-planet
This I say; cold,
No comfort
Greed and hate,
Cold-fusion hard,
This I do relate.
I cry at night
Aye, I do weep
The rain falls down
And then I sleep.

Eagles

They look so majestic
These eagles
But I saw one on the side of the road eating a dead raccoon
What is so awe inspiring about that?
Vultures eat dead things
So do flies
We do need these animals to clean up our dead
So they don't pile up and take room away from the living
We burn them in our gas tanks
Dinosaurs and ancient conifers that turned into oil
So what animal doesn't eat dead things that could inspire us
I like Cardinals or Baltimore Orioles
Blue Jays are nice
But we as a nation have decided to use the eagle
It's on our money
But when you think what this nation has done to the world
Maybe
Just maybe the eagle is the right on

Incompetence of the healthcare professionals!

I think often I wrote this on the 19TH/08/ 2017! 5 hours ago · City of Salford,



Absent seizures, to Anxiety, disassociation to Autism, to disconnect Dyspraxia, And OCD) the English language is atrocious, (baguette) A French loaf” do we speak French, because English, people make no sense to me. Losing balance after all gravity is moving around us, and how the numbers flicker and become mixed up as you are trying to crack codes, then here comes Dyslexia, in simple terms, one cannot spell basic words, does not apply to me.

However, can you get vocal dyslexia? Ie: thinking at such a fast rate the words come out too quick before one has time to think. Furthermore ADD, to my recent research has links to absent seizures. The eyes go funny, you get a feeling of, euphoria, you become hyper IE: Talking fast, becoming confused losing time. Or is the frontal lobe seizure a spiritual awaking out of body experience or neurology related,

OCD, one has unwanted and repeated thoughts, an imagination that can take Steven King, for his money! :-) Anxiety is fear of the unknown I am not “fearless.” I am a risk taker, however, I do not fear heights , A knock on the head is the reason why some people say to the ignorant brainwashed deluded sheep, you need a bang on the head to wake you up.To wake up to reality, to open you're eyes.



Autism, fragile x syndrome has similar traits, I was tested for fragile syndrome as a child, the results came back as a negative, tested for learning disabilities twice came back I do not have a learning disability, I had two doctors mention twice in my childcare files I have autistic traits, but didn’t diagnose me strange. There was mention I used to dissociate myself from reality as a child and went in my own world. What did those people mean by that?

In relation to a conduct disorder that was also mentioned in my child care files, a conduct disorder is Autism, related. Are they worried about diagnosing me with Asperger’s but saying I have it two years ago, if I was diagnosed the Doctors and ones involved will have no choice but to admit they failed me and exploited my human rights!


They talk in riddles, they make no sense, and they talk mumbo jumbo. Due to the lack of insight and incompetence of the healthcare professionals, I force myself to find out the answers myself of hours of extensive research until I get the answers that can be backed up that is not based on hearsay or speculation or exaggeration.

Haiku!

The past leaves its marks
The future, unknowable
What we have is now.

Mama Me Me A

The words jostle and shove inside my head.....Each night as i lay in my bed......Choose ME i am the best word ever said.....NO NO choose heart because i rule your head.....The words continue and get more bold......STOP i scream but they will not be told.....Right wrong good bad happy and sad.....Choosing the right word is really hard...Jostle and shove i will never get to sleep....And its no use counting sheep.....Mad and crazy keep pushing to the front...But just as they reach new words give them a shunt....ME ME ME is the top word of today....Me before you i am the first to play....Me is the most greedy word of all.....ME ME ME ME I NEED IT ALL.......jw

So Few are They Whose Legion is Peace

So few are they whose legion is peace.
Did Columbus chase stillness
beyond tumultuous seas?
Sails and oars were manned by dissidents,
genocide is patent.

Prayers and spreads with huge birds
were answered with reservations,
provisions like prisons,
and birthrights lifted.

So few are they whose legion is peace.
Devoid of wings, souls fly
to escape the flaming towers.
Barren of truth, tongues lie
to secure legends of power,
and destroy past ally.

It is for youth to pursue truth
before wicked moons glide by.
Leap with faith like ten Moses,
your Sabbath day is nigh.
Race is diversion,
kissing cheeks of cliché.

Is the spoil more than the sacrifice?
The new buds quietly fade;
their radiance slowly dies,
and the few whose throng is not peace
hold their heads so high,
while mothers blame the God
who watched their children’s suicide.

I'm Free?

You tell me I'm free.
To express
what's inside of me.
But when I open my mouth.
And verbal bullets shoot out.
The whole thing,
just goes south.
He's got an opinion.
Oh my god,
he'll slander the dominion.
Quickly,
put him away.
Where no one will hear,
what he has to say.
So I am free.
If I'll only be,
what you want me to be.
Or I'll rott away,
The rest of my days,
in solitary.

The Rose of York

Moonlight shone upon my path
a get away before me

silent doors closed behind
a grief hung upon thee

moonless nights
i sat amongst the reeds
tears of salt i tasted

no more unkindly love
to me it would be wasted

dripping gown a hidden frown
my run was neer at end

please let me just swallow
the touch of a voice

mellow

blanket sadness overcame
a wretched beast is I

anger filled my hearty soul
a smell of sea
spurned my cramped and broken body

daylight burst
from lids of lashes

tiny feet holding the weight
give me the power

clenching the future

wayward is the wind


My crown I leave

along with all the traps
no more

I ripped upon my straps

what is one free but to see
I must stand upon the land

let go

barefeet upon the sand

my wind my friend blew the careless fun
my rain I drink
the summer I basked
the autumn
I smelt the rotting of the new coming spring

To indulge in buds

and dance myself away
