Flare Side

America the beautiful
Yeah
Let me introduce yall to the flare side
Julie was a loving wife
Had her husbands name on her neck
Death took him away
But a new man came to play
He went to jail
Something about drugs and a bar brawl
Now will it be 2016 or 2020 when she will have him all?
Dodododododo
Ha!
Then there was Bob
Been gone since Thanksgiving of 14
He was a fun guy to be around
You know what I mean?
But he loved smoking the jay
His attendance record was too spotty
That's what the management had to say
So after a year of good work they made him go away
His girlfriend got a job right in the department he used to work
He decided to be a jerk
I'll stay home for a year while she works
He had it all figured out
Then she met another guy at work
And then she moved out
This is what can happen for those who chose to walk on the flare side
dodododododododo
Ha!
Michael had everything going for him
A good wife a good life
A baby boy on the way any day
But he was worried he couldn't get hired on
And his good wife was in jail
So he missed a lot of work and caught hell
From the management
So he applied for another job and got an interview
But HR wouldn't give him a day to go
So he split that day back in January
I still don't know where he ended up
And this is how it is on the flare side

Prison Life

Here there is no privacy
Here there is no safety
Here there is pain
Here there is fear
The Noise, The Noise, the Noise!
Clang, Clang!
Bang! Bang!
Shouting and Shouting
Frustration
My head is on fire with rage
My body is on fire with discomfort
I feel it in my feet
I feel it in my hands
My eyes seeing the evil
My soul feeling like it's rotting inside of me
Yeah
It really feels like a prison at work

Daydream

When I'm at work
I close my eyes
When I feel pain
From other guys
Whenever I want to
All I have to do is daydream
Day dream dream dream
Dream dream
I can make her mine
Kiss her lips of wine
Any time night or day
Only trouble is
Gee wiz
I'm dreaming my life away
Dream dream day dream

Women and Minorities at My Work Place

The first woman was hired in 1993
Out of 405 employees
72 are women
Minorities make up 28 employees
The work place certainly has changed
My first long job was at Hardee's
I had two minorities in the four years I worked there
One a beautiful Japanese American woman
One an African American man
I still remember Shannon from Hardee's
I am using the golf balls she gave me in 1991
Lost five so far out of 12
Women used to get to stay at home
When the dollar was strong
One job was enough to pay the bills
You didn't have cable
You didn't pay for a cell phone or internet
And taxes were a lot less
Are women and minorities getting a fair shake at work?
No!
We have a long way to go to truly get fair treatment for all workers
I do appreciate any of the workers who have reached out to me
Who have been nice to me
Weather they be woman, minority, or whatever
Thank you!

About this poem:
Took me about 10 minutes to write down all the years of hire at my job. It seems kind of ironic that the two biggest hire years are the ones I got hired on. I was hired in 2007 and let go in 2008. Then hired on again in 2013.

THE FRONT GATE MESSIAH

THE TOWERS OF QUAYSIDE; NOW THERE'S A REAL JOKE! THEY'LL HIRE MUSLIM TERRORISTS; BUT NO DOWN AND OUT; IN NEED OF A JOB, GIMOKE! THE SUPERVISORS ARE SUPPOSEDLY THERE TO SERVE THE MASSES; BUT THEY ARE CONTENT ON PASSING THE HOURS; SITTING ON THEIR BIG FAT ASSES! TWO MUSLIMS; FATHER AND SON; WHO JUST CAN'T WAIT FOR THE NIGHT TO BE DONE! I WAS STATIONED AT THE FRONT GATE AND BECAUSE OF MY PERSONALITY; THE INCOMING TRAFFIC; WOULD GLADLY, WAIT! ALTHOUGH I WAS FIRED FOR LOVING ANIMALS, AND WEARING A FOREVER SMILE; I HELD MY HEAD UP HIGH; AND WENT OUT WITH LAUGHTER; AND NOT A SIGH! I'M SURE THE RESIDENTS WILL ALWAYS REMEMBER THIS GUARD; WHO THROUGH HIS CARING MANNER; SET THE TOWERS ON FIRE! I'M SURE THE LORD WILL TRUELY BLESS ME; THE FRONT GATE MESSIAH!

Enter At Your Own Risk ......

for whom dears to enter the masters house with out a key, shadows well fall upon who dears to take from the masters house, luck well not be on your side for the phenomenon of truth well become lies, the celling of this house is under the skies of the watchful eyes the smell of defeat is not at your side taking my gifts well be your curse! the building blocks for witch I speak are only mine an mind to keep !

TRY, TRY, TRY, AGAIN! TO EARN SUCCESS.

ARE YOU TREKING DOWN A ROAD WITH NO END IN SIGHT?
TRY, TRY, TRY, AGAIN!
DOES THE TIME SEEM TO TICK AGAINST YOU?
THAT YOU ONLY WISH THAT THE CLOCK CAN PAUSE FOR A MOMENT, THAT YOU MAY HEAVE A SIGH OF RELIEVE ?
TRY, TRY, TRY, TO KEEP THE BALL ROLLING AGAIN!
DO YOUR CHALLENGES WEIGH YOU DOWN?
TRY,TRY, TRY USING THE COURAGE OF A WOUNDED LION TO PUT UP A GOOD FIGHT!
ARE YOU ENTANGLED WITH THE TWIST AND TURNS OF LIFE AS THOUGH YOUR BREATH FADES AWAY?
THEN KNOW, THAT THE GLORIOUS MOMENT OF SUCCESS HAS COME, SO CLOSE, AS AIR TO YOUR NOSTRILS,
PATIENTLY CALLING !
FEEL IT, CRAB IT, USE IT
