About this poem:
I was reading the horoscopes in the newspaper today. Usually I read just Leo, but today I read other ones too. They seem to all have good advice, no matter when you were born.
Be aware of the vultures
The lying sewer rats have revealed themselves once again
a tale has surfaced without credit but begs to be king
this plague and disease has taken away innocent life
We all can see the scorpion in words published in a sting
the odour leaves an invisible stench deeply within souls rooted
Our nation has what it deserves corrupted evil swine
wallowing in self pity crying over spilt milk bad eggs
poor in spirit drunken by their lack of knowledge
wisdom is condemned as false doctrine to address logic
Where creeps the shadows over the truth sandwiched
hiding behind a mask the joker laughs at democracies fools
This world is falling into the pits of hell with rotten apples
at the helm they form a circle dividing people to core beliefs
brainwashed individuals follow their leaders backwards principles
God be with anyone who can think for themselves
because the trendy have lost all faith and love
they judge everyone by their own standards
afraid of the cross they bear malice against goodwill
Sin we all can see how you mutilate everything Holy
take one look into the heart of this problem unfolding
hide your face in shame as the day will come when you kneel
a tale has surfaced without credit but begs to be king
this plague and disease has taken away innocent life
We all can see the scorpion in words published in a sting
the odour leaves an invisible stench deeply within souls rooted
Our nation has what it deserves corrupted evil swine
wallowing in self pity crying over spilt milk bad eggs
poor in spirit drunken by their lack of knowledge

About this poem:
this planet is moving backwards with rigged political viewsin those that go directly against the ten commandments
law has become a twisted act against creation and the virtues of human rights
DVR
I love to watch TV
One of the greatest things to me
I grew up from 1974 to 1986 with no way to record
I finally found a VCR in 1987 I could afford
Then they changed my cable just recently
So I couldn't record for free
I got my DVR a week ago
Now I can fast forward without going slow
I can record multiple shows at one time
For the cost of 100 dimes
Shows I couldn't record before
I have waiting at my DVR recorded store
Johnny Carson, Jimmy Kimmel, and Stephen Colbert too
Family Feud, the Olympics, All in the Family to name a few
It is so much fun, almost as much fun as singing in my car
That I am having with my new DVR

About this poem:
I have really gone a long way from VCR to DVR. No tapes to store and a better image. The time it used to take to fast forward through commercials is a real time saver.
Adapt or Starve
Give me the power to undermine the qualities that restrict the growth of self. Walk away, its over...here stands a new machine.
Endings are the only beginnings from now.
Time waits for no one but i will live forever.
Enter the void...
Everythings real, congruently relevant,
speak up and satisfy our minds.
Project the past, ingest the future,
convert your feelings until the sensation is right.
Everyone tells me i blew it but what they dont know is i knew it.
Two steps ahead of no one i am the king of the world unkown,
to you its a reality full of hostility.
Ive tasted it before and ill swallow it again.
You pushed me too far toward the end.
If theres no end then why do you fear it?
Its evident that your analysis is critical,
of the hypothesis, it never was ethical.
Sample the nerves of the system that keeps them at bay.
In the end youll conclude there will always be a way.
Keep your input open and your output shut.
Download all you need and severe the link......

About this poem:
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.
Off With A Bang
When the chinese used fireworks for celebrations
They used a black powder called gunpowder, it has two
Practical uses for making harmess fireworks or creating
Explosions for rocket missiles during their wars, the same
Was also used for rifles and guns, they celebrated their
Chinese New Year with these exploading fireworks, but as
Time went on the gunpowder was used to make a huge
Explosion by a man called Guy Fawkes, he planned to blow
Up the British Houses of Parliament, his plan misfired and
He was caught along with his accomplices, and sent to jail.
England now celebrates this night as Guy Fawkes Night
It is on the 5th of November, and families get together
As they burn an effigy of Guy Fawkes on a bonfire.
They also have a large firework display during this event.
Yes gunpowder has many uses and it is used for good
Purposes as well as evil, it can be also used in Dynamite
An explosive which has been used in construction in
Various ways for good, or misused by theives to blow up
Bank vaults, but all these different variations of uses
The end result is that it nearly always goes off with a bang.

About this poem:
(January 2013) This is a little different from my usual poems as you will all find out when you read.... "Off With A Bang"Quick Money
You wanna make some quick money
Without all that working, dealing with managers, coworkers and all that crap?
Well, you steal
One way is to get a gun and walk into a bank
And say to the clerk
Give me all your money
Another way is to write a note, hand it to the clerk, on it write
Give me all your money, my buddies is outside with a gun drawn on you
Another way is to get knocked up
Of course this only works if you're a woman
Then you get to go on welfare, and if you're lucky the sucker
You got to knock you up will actually pay you child support
Here's another way, you come from some country like Guatemala
You come into this country and get caught by the border patrol
They put you in an air conditioned building with food and a nice cot
All the free health care paid for by workers with crappy health insurance
These are just a few of the ways millions upon millions have shirked their duty
To be productive citizens and instead become blood sucking maggots
All with the help of our politicians and apathetic public
Without all that working, dealing with managers, coworkers and all that crap?
Well, you steal

About this poem:
The money that is stolen daily by many citizens of this country and others who are rewarded for stealing by coming here has this country and it's people losing their quality of life. I just wish someone would stop this theft.
REALITY/FACTS
"People can't handle the truth" FACT ONE
the following and more weigh on me a ton
These words won't set well with many of you
because you disagree doesn't make them less true
Many laws of this land are at best a cruel joke
most always only relevant to the less fortunate folk
"The Great Satan" many proclaim America to be
theirs valid evidence making it impossible to disagree
The wealthy make their own rules to assure they go free
fact is Government doesn't give a damn about you or me
Americas' guilty of as much evil as any other government
fallacious leaders who dismiss real Americans sentiment
Govt' decided our country should be the melting pot of Earth
no regard for "We The People" further proving our true worth
Govt' fantasized unity was possible in an overly diverse population
that ignorance is reason ONE behind the demise of this nation
Govt' turned a once great land into everything but a United State
a tragedy conducive to perpetual resentment and inextricable hate
They won't tolerate anyone uttering truths that aren't theirs
free speech if your not inquisitive of their illicit affairs
They inform us about what they want no more no less
covering up their iniquities with lies rather than confess
Learn to accept that these words are indubitably reality
believing politicians care reflects a clueless mentality

MELODY OF COMPLIMENTS
THERE IS NO WORLD WITHOUT LIVES
THERE IS NO LIFE WITHOUT BREATHE
THERE IS NO LOVE IN AN EMPTY HEART
THERE IS NO GRAVE WITHOUT DEATH
THERE IS NO FAITH WITHOUT
DOGMAS
THERE IS NO CREATURE, NOT CREATED
THERE ARE UPS AND DOWNS
THE HARDFACT IS:
SUCCESS DOES NOT DWELL IN THE SANCTUARY OF THOSE WHO FAIL TO TRY
THERE IS NO LIFE WITHOUT BREATHE
THERE IS NO LOVE IN AN EMPTY HEART
THERE IS NO GRAVE WITHOUT DEATH
THERE IS NO FAITH WITHOUT
DOGMAS
THERE IS NO CREATURE, NOT CREATED
THERE ARE UPS AND DOWNS
THE HARDFACT IS:
SUCCESS DOES NOT DWELL IN THE SANCTUARY OF THOSE WHO FAIL TO TRY

About this poem:
A FAMOUS LAWN TENIS FRIEND WON A TROPHY JUST AFTER NINE ATTEMPTS
palaver
today's rhetoric just makes me sick
"undue use of exaggeration or display"
say some bull and which details to pick
just ignore some facts that get in the way
is beneath contempt for well thought mind
and generally a nuisance for all society
won't solve problems and merely designed
to get one's way and claim soapbox piety
so before I go jump in some grandiose lake
and take argument hook, line, and sinker
to think I'll swallow it all is a mistake
I'll be my own man and a freethinker
take your bite, your blurb and try again
speak with intelligence and use your brain
