There are so many self help book out there. One of the most popular being Tony Robbins who made over a billion with his self help books and seminars. Did he really help anyone? Probably like the lottery, a few win and the rest lose.

WHY II

Why must it be impossible to get along
men were created equal is way wrong
Why can't all act civil like they should
doing bad isn't suppose to end good

Why is 'Truth' arduous for many to handle
'telling it like it is' results in scandal
Why does 'just a minute' always last a while
'give an inch' doesn't mean take a mile

Why do convicted murderers ever get set free
Left and Right only care about their prosperity
Why won't blacks stop the 'America owes them'
chances of that happening are rarer than slim

Why do some consciously Mar their Ear Lobes
hospitals could provide less revealing Robes
Why couldn't we pass away humanely in our sleep
everything you sow you're not guaranteed to reap

Why do humans put faith in what isn't proven real
in every capacity humanity got dealt a raw deal

ONE WORLD NO BORDERS

No border is for birds, air or water
No border for flora and fauna
Soil reaps the maize same
Who are we to give name?

Everyone travels to eat, drink and be merry
Hug relatives, friends and collect memory
Politician visit nations to strengthen ties
Why do they 'tie' when we Must 'Untie'?
Tie with one and leave others?
Untie ties and free from wars!

Migratory birds fly half globe
Not to make homes
Nomadics are only Alive
Each day a new sunshine

Mingle, tingle, sing a jingle
Pull down barriers and borders
Africans go Siberia, Mongols to Brasilia
Northerns go South, Easterns go West

Exchange lingos, cultures and traditions
Migrations will come to least
Everywhere there will be feast
Not countries, states or continents
Let us make 'One World' !!

Lao Tsu said : A good traveller has no fixed plans,
and is not intent on arriving...

Small Surprise

Large uprising small surmise
Yow thy neighbor
Vent off steam
Autocracy
Centipede
DNA
Serpentine
Commoditize
Flesh and blood
Emoticons redact the math
Inexplicable for effectiveness
Inescapable as the Incubus

It’s full of surprise as imagined
and likely worse

My State of the Union Address

I address this to not only the people of the United States of America
But also to the people of the world
Whether they live in Japan or Liberia
Italy or Turkmenistan
The state of our union sucks a**!
How does it suck a** you might say
Well for one we have half of this country sitting on their lazy butts
They contribute nothing and consume a vast amount of our tax dollars
They get free health care and care nothing for their health
They get free food stamps and spend it on food devoid of nutrition
They live in free housing but their neighborhoods are death traps
Full of violence and all sorts of immoral behaviors
The other half who choose to do what is right
What is their reward?
Higher taxes and stagnant wages
They watch while the CEO's make over 400 times their salary
The Federal Reserve continues to print money
That does not have the backing of gold to make it worth something
So the dollar continues to plunge
And the real wealth of the average American goes down with it as well
They have to work overtime not for fancy luxuries
But to pay the bills and try and scrape by
Our infrastructure is a rusty mess
Our schools are the laughing stock of the world
Teachers who get absolutely no respect from their students or their parents
On a positive note
We have the greatest military in the world
At least we're good at blowing things up!

Just pretending what it would be like to be president, just pretending of course because I wouldn't want that job for any amount of money!

Time to go

It wasn't what you thought
was it
convincing yourself
believing
your wishful thinking
is all you need
to turn my world
into your wants
to take me down
to your childish need
for me
to believe
that your ignorance
with your body
is bliss
as you sit comfortable numb
staring
at the evening soaps
of shallow thoughts
that don't want to know
about the cancer that grows
within your mind
that is slowly
turning you
blind

Prey

Why
do you hurt
me
have I not done
everything you wanted
My love
My dream
My wishful thinking
My belief

It is not really you
that I need
or want
it is the energy
from your fragile heart
once bitten
twice shy
is the best
when that day is born
when you finally
understand
that all you believed
was just ashes
you held
in your hands
and as your heart
like a building
slowly falling
crumbling
to the ground
The hurt
The despair
The self loathing
That you cared
Again
It is that
sweet nectar
the energy you release
when your heart
fell slowly
into
your own personal
Abyss

Winter Olympics

I sing karaoke
Last night I sang Weird Al Yankovic's Headline News
In the song there is a reference to Tonya Harding and Nancy Kerrigan
In the 1994 Winter Olympics Tonya hired someone to club Nancy's leg
The attack was a failure as the attacker missed the knee and hit the leg
Nancy was able to recover and still get the silver medal in figure skating
With all the bad press and a broken shoe lace Tonya stumbled big time
Tonya failed to medal at all and was later banned from the sport for life
The performance ranked #11 of all TV shows ever on television
And the only Olympics that ranked as one of the most watched
I like ski jumping the best with curling a close second
I do watch the figure skating too

About this poem:
I have been watching the Winter Olympics and remembering the news of Tonya Harding. Now we have the whole school shooting news from Florida eclipsing the headlines right now.

You

Be exactly who you want to be,
Do what you want to do.
I am he, and she is she.
But.....
You're the only you!!

Eyes wide shut.

I may only be a teenager in this new world,but already I see what's in store for me
A world were corruption and lies are king, and the takers keep taking cause they can never sin, why is it we suffer while governments get rich, if they cared for their people no mess would the world be in, they serve others but just think of themselves, did they ever serve the people, or is that just another lie like all the rest, I haven't been here long but I see what's going on, and I hate to say this but some governments are wrong, so who is corrupting them for so long, we need to stand up and say enough is enough, this world belongs to all of us not just for the takers, don't think you have won, for my generation well stop you this time, your in power long enough time for a change, and I promise you this you well all know my name.
