Self

Every which way I turn they're walking next to me,
and its clearly obvious that your frown is from the burn, from the burn of the daily grind,
dig to find anything that satisfies the mind,
and in time....you'll give it up
it ain't mine...don't even know wassup

I'm a victimless crime stood on by divines,
Don't have the right frame of mind
lash me for all I've got
I'm kind,selfless and forgetful,
and often I get lost in the stupour of drunk and high,
cause this world you provide its what I need to get by!

what a world

so many faces
people from all races
show harmless love
just like the dove
united we stand
divided we fall to the ground
stick together
love one another
it makes the world go round
we need a healing to the world
a tender touch to the heart
of one in need
heal the world

FLOWER

FLOWERS LOOK STUNNING
FRAGRANT AND SOFT
IN THE MORNING SUN

TO GIVE TO SOMEONE SPECIAL
BRING WARMTH TO THE EYE
BUT THE FLOWER BEGINS TO DIE

SAD BUT TRUE
IT SEEMS TO BE
MAYBE OTHER GIFTS
THE HEART COULD SEE
AND LET THE FLOWER
GROW AND LIVE

W-A-R………..

A 3-letter word of d-o-o-m;
Rife with sounds like “b-o-o-m!”
Kills what comes from the w-o-m-b;
Ends with a hole, or a t-o-m-b.

Why then, especially in this century with all of its changes, is W-A-R still being tolerated?

Brothers and brothers of him

I go to the exremes and have to cut my mind on a jagged edge to burst my emotions before I explode into a thousand selves
We can be who we are or play more games
Maleable like a stream my other selves give birth
The I and the flesh
The antenna of the soul
Our biology tells some of it all, but can we be free?
In the cave we know, but who is brave enough to tell that we are porns in the scheme of it all
The life is a shaddow and Of myself I can do nothing and waste my days
A meloncholy messenger, a cut price Jesus
I play with it all while the truth is told about the one who creates
One architect for it all
The will protests and wants to flow free imagining many shapes in a colourful parade
I ramble, I stumble my detrators persue
They wish to dance and be it all
I played, I succumbed to be part of the crowd and now rocks are thrown at my weary head
The parade, the parade the madness and all
The questions that died from not being asked a long time ago
The rants and the chats all by myself....
Can I see the Sun through the trees and find the way that he walked

Aliens of our world

The knife of civilization rest on every neck. Held by the hands of coward brethren, who threaten the vast majority of their own breed. Faces covered by cloak displaying cowardice they move from place to place unleashing their shame. Equiped with instruments of civilization, swiftly they cause death where they visit give. Madened by their god of frustration and unachieved aspirations in envy they metamorphosised into packs of dynamites killing and maiming their own breed. These are the aliens in our world whom we shall overcome with the tears of vengeance seeking ghosts and the strenght of our collective wills.

Adversity

Adversity can feel like a punctured lung, It makes you want to SCREAM " I Can't Breath" R.I.P George Floyd.. It comes and goes as it pleases.My people have scratched and clawed for an ounce of reasoning.. But what do they say "Just shut up and dribble" Time and time again they have tried to kill the Dreamer but the dream lives on and on .The voices get louder and louder they scream Change,Equality, Progress Over Pride,Me2,Black Lives Matter... I stand even in the darkness like Batman and scream Adversity let my people go!!

FUTURE GENERATIONS!!!!!

i was a survivor, b4 i was a fighter
i was analyzin, b 4 i was a writer
and ive been a ryder, scence b4 i was outta dipars.
im the fluid inside, of the lghter, igniting the fire
im brighter at night, like lightning storms, and stars
but like phantoms in shadows, i camoflaoshe in da dark
im a norse lord, like odin, loki, and thor,
once i open the door, youll c theres more to explore
let me pour u some more of these gory stories of war
fill ur cup up with blood, guts and gore
all the sudden someone runs up... erupts in c4
and another loved one, ends up in blood on da floor,
if this is justice, then whats the government for,
they got money for war, but none of us that is poor,
they over run another country yet leave us on the floor
thats y da governments a bluff, i only trust in the lord

Bill Murray

I loved you on SNL
My favorite bit by you was frequent flyer
You made Ghostbusters fun
You gave a great speech in Meatballs and Scrooged
You even made dieing funny in Zombieland
It's been 46 years of funny from you
Now it comes to find out you did something bad on the set of a movie
The men are just now having to have some consequences
Where in the past they just did as they pleased
Mostly getting away with bad behavior
Bill Cosby comes to mind
So does Kevin Spacey
And my old boss from Hardee's
I even have a few in my own family, one who died in prison from agent orange
One of the many atrocities of the Vietnam war
Abraham Lincoln once said
I do good I feel good, I do bad I feel bad, this is my religion
Apparently these guys flipped the script

About this poem:
I've seen and heard of this behavior at plenty of jobs I have been at, I'm still waiting for justice for these women, hopefully the work world I live in will get woke too.

This Land is Who's Land

If you don’t own the land
Then the land owns you
You will never suffer again
We will take care of everything
You can always trust the State
We can never lead you astray
We will always defend your rights
From the cradle to the grave
Just as long as you behave
We fight we fight with all our might
Just as long as you believe
We will make everything alright
Don’t worry or be deceived
How do you know beforehand
Things don’t work out as planned
