Only We, not i

"Excuse me,... Excuse me Mr Teddy Bear,
but im not interested in preventing forest fires, ..
You see, i live in the city.
I am more interested in preventing drug abuse, gang violence, homelessness,
and im also interested in trying to educate the inner city youths,
if only i could prevent forest fires,
then WE together could prevent so much more.
"Not to be rude Mr. Teddy Bear,
but FUK your forest....."

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

first day of the accident

Well it was St. Patrick's day
And there was a Public Health and Safety seminar
The irony of this is incredible
The auditorium is nicely decorated
dark and light
Presentations about safety and proper lifting
However the floor at the back is not as level
There is a ramp that is high but unnoticeable
Interesting but also dangerous
Work for ten years and do not take time off
Come to a seminar and get hurt
Go the the hospital and wait for two hours
x-rays questions, answers and hypothesis
all in a days work
Getting home with crutches is a new experience
However the day is done and it is time to rest
Filling out the forums, anticipating the proper procedures
Where do we go from here???
Honesty is the best policy
Uncertainty takes its toll
Supervisors and doctors have interesting theories
Life is an adventure but honesty should prevail
The union says everything will be fine
The checks will start coming like always
Who are you to believe?
The anxiety is overbearing
In God we trust
However seems to be lots of uncertainty
I wish everyone well in their journey of employment
This is supposed to last a lifetime
Honesty and sensitivity/ supervisors and co-workers
Games people play are not nice
However this is the end of day one
I am restless and awaiting the outcome
of day two and the honesty with fellow workers
To do the right thing always
and carry on and carry on
Blessings and Love
Positive thoughts, Peace and Tranquility

About this poem:
this is about the journey that takes place at work
when you are faced with an accident and uncertainty
where other people and forces come to play
the union, fellow workers and supervisors
all are part of the picture
sensitivity and trust, faith hope and charity
the journey continues
bills have to be paid
the mortgage payments etc
all part of responsability
with God's grace and positive thinking I go on

The Fall Of the Sons of Belial

Engineers of our despair
The common man,
They don't care
Joe the Plumber
Couldn't be dumber
Than to listen
To useless media chatter,
While rich bankers
Just get fatter.
Rich, they are,
And avaricious
Cannibals who think
Pain is delicious.
Self-serving and
Amoral pricks,
I can take
All your licks.
Fat and decadent
You have become,
I hear the boom of
The barbaric drum
What doesn't kill
Me makes me stronger.
You can kill me,
But you cant
Win any longer.
I will outlast you,
Night follows day
The Fall of Empire
Is on it's way.

Mama Said There Were No Monsters

Mama said there were no monsters, as she tucked me into bed
I believed her without question and lay down my weary head
to taste the blessed slumber found only in sweet youth
before we've held the hands of time and awaken to the truth.
For thirty odd years later, the question still remains ~
If there really are no monsters why so many victims slain?

Mama said there were no monsters, but I think she may have lied.
I now believe,without a doubt, they flourish worldwide
for I saw their gross reflection in the tears a stranger wept;
a single blast of hateful glee no one could intercept.
I heard them in the keening of a heart no comfort found
I feel them in the fear that stalks as I walk their hunting grounds

Mama said there were no monsters, as she tucked me into bed
how I wish I could believe her as I rest my graying head!
I wish I could recapture the slumber of my youth
to dream again what I dreamed of then, before I learned the truth;
that monsters do indeed exist and are walking hand in hand
with the freedom we so cherish, like tiny grains of sand.

About this poem:
This was written in 2002 for the victims of the D.C sniper & their families.
I was living in the Metro area at that time, and will never forget the fear and sadness that engulfed our community for awhile.

'Politicans Irish Style'

'Politicans in Ireland talk a load of Shite'

Politicans in Ireland talk a load of shite
They call to your door at election times
Promising you everything in life
You listen attentatively and give them your time
And eventually you give them your vote
They return to the Dail and start to fight
Only because they all think their right
Politicans in Ireland talk a load of shite.

Ireland,it just does'nt seem right
People are starting to worry were they right to vote
They voted Fianne Fail, who have a gall
Because they can't get it right
The taoiseacht at the time
Was busy hidding money,with his past bunny
Only to be found out
So carful were his answers
That it came to light
That Celia bought a beauty parlour
Just to look right
Politicans in Ireland talk a load of shite

The Tribunal for him won't be a win
So he may give up his fight
He has lost all his credability by acting the goat
Funny thing is, he still got your vote
Politicans in Ireland talk a load of shite

I don't like to complain but Bertie should explain
How much pain he has caused for his own gain
You had a responability to this nation
And remember have no notion
Or you would be better off taking a poison potion
Than pushing a posion pen
Politicans in Ireland talk a load of shite

We are a very forgiving Nation,Tolerable one too
So don't be worring Bertie as Mary is doing it too
Her health is not the best,neither is mine
I guess she's filling her pockets with Bertie in mind
Sure Charlie did it for years with no one in mind
So don't be worring Bertie
We all have you on our minds!
Politicans in Ireland talk a load of shite.

~Fear of HEIGHTS ~

Looking down your mind hits the bottom
Through your eyes not a blink
Adrenaline flows
As you stand on the front of your feet
On your toes.

Knuckles in white grasping rail tight
As you look too the bottom
Your minds fear of height

Your fighting the fear
Drops of sweat on the shirt
As your knuckles in white
Close the eyes makes it worse.

Lift a foot u turn green
get me down "NOW" . . . . . enough I've seen~

"For someone I knew."

They say vanity is a down fall of humanity.
Your chastity is given away like charity.
Open legs and closed eyes, with you pleasure comes with a price.
It doesn't matter if those moments have flavor or spice or even entice.
Call you prostitute, never! you're an entrepreneur with an endeavor
Capitalize on the concept of "demand" and "supply" with deep throat behavior.

Throw away self esteem, its something you don't need.
Those men will never treat you like a queen.
Never a whisper of "Baby I love you"
Just "here's your money b*tch, I enjoyed f**king you"
Imagine praises only comes when you swallow.
When they take dip in your oasis, they tread in waters that aren't shallow.

When it come to you, Cupid didn't have any arrows.
All you have is a towel of guilt to dry the tears of your endless sorrows.
For you the cost of an abortion is just another number.
To those babies you should of been a mother not a murderer.
How many times you gave up that chance to be a "mummy" just for the opportunity to gain money?
Question your actions not the reasons why you're lonely...


Let those words be the voice of the sons and daughters you didn't give a choice.
For the ones that felt the cold blade of a surgeon's knife.
For the ones that never had the chance to take a step in life...

Pres. Obama’s Shout-Out to the Critics

Nobody thought that a man name Barack Hussein Obama could win the general election.

With his extraordinary speeches, inspired people to get out and vote.

Reflecting on the past eight years, people wanted to make the right selection.

Scare tatics wasn’t going to provoke them to settle for the status quo boat.



Now, it’s only been over nine months, and critics already starting to fuss,

Arguing that he hasn’t save the whole world yet,

Lying, manipulating uninformed folks among us,

Griping why everything isn’t rescued overnight-

He never made a promise like that!



Protesting silly tea parties across the nation,

Complaining about Obama Care,

Don’t want to wake up and see the real reality they’re facing,

When all the president wants is for the insurance companies to be fair!



No matter what this man does, haters criticize it all.

They keep underestimating him,

Unaware of their inevitable fall.

The Party of No action is growing dim.



If they wasn’t protesting eight years ago, why are they doing it now!?

When Bush drugged the country to the gutter, No complaints, No howls.

Is it because the new guy is different-so they’re calling foul?

Where were they? No credibility then, so no credibility now!



These same folks cheered when the USA lost the chance to host the Olympics.

And they want to b*tch about a Nobel Peace Prize, that’s got nothing to do with them.

An ironic twist that was all over the media, which resulted in a sore loser epic.

Mad because it wasn’t given to them, that’s why they care.



If there ever was a movie titled, “In the Life of a hater,”

Maybe they should take the starring role,

Better realize, their opinions will be irrelevant sooner or later.

Obama might can give them his reelection win-

which would be the best revenge served cold!

About this poem:
I wrote this poem early part of this month as a blog posted on my website. It's a common sense/lash out at the president's most harshest critics and haters. These people seem to criticize everything that he does. As an independent, but more over to the base of the conservative side of the political spectrum, I agree/disagree on certain things that the president have done but I'm willing to give him time and show him respect like I did with former president Bush. Bashing just to be bashing and engaging in double standards towards him and not with other past presidents is not constructive criticism. What these people need to understand that this type of behavior is Only making themselves look seriously misinformed and ignorant, not the president!
