Black Hole

Warning! warning! black hole approaching
A black hole as everyone knows
Sucks in matter as it approaches
Matters not if it's steak or chops
Food of any description it swallows
Warning! warning! black hole approaching
My teenage son is home

a zen story

a famous warrior wanted to make a fun of master oshiba,
he asked:
honourable master,give me a good reason to spare your life !
master oshiba replied :
have you the power to keep your mind still,just a second ?
the warrior took his sword and killed himself.

take pause

my son comes by and looks over my shoulder
at his picture on my PC's wallpaper
he analyses it carefully seeing
himself as so young, so innocent
he can't believe he was ever that
young and innocent
(he's twenty now)

life spans before him like the view
from a tollbooth at a suspension bridge
his motor revving a little
he looks at the collector in the booth
then at the long span
over the river of life
ready to ride, he presses the gas,
confidently grips the wheel
and pulls away, the music in his ears

mom & daddy

Daddy, you are a figure for your chilldren
when i saw you i was up sad
i can not see you as a father
surely daddy, you're not ready for a father

mom, you teach us love
when you were spesking for us
its so hard to find love on your words
So tell me mom, how can i love them?

Daddy, mom...
I love you more than everything..
A love that you show me
will make it better
daddy, pray for us

"Dead Husband"

Lonely, I married you without thinking about
anything except having my own family...
Your motherless boys captivated my need to
be needed, so I said yes...
Months after the ceremony I learned of your
passion for the herb...I began to understand
why your boys were wild and knew so much
at their age of tenderness...

It was not good that they knew more than me,
especially when I was trying to be their mother...
And you, did you get the giggles toking with friends,
thinking about your wife and boys home, alone,
dying of their thirst? ...
Some of your friends made a play for me, your own
brother did once when you were fishing for Walleye
on Cordova Lake, seasoning your catch with
expensive herbs, cut first...
Years later, when I tired of you and your habit,
you married my twin, except unlike me, she shared
shared your passion until the day you fell dead
because the rivers, polluted, ever shrinking,
quenched not your burning thirst! ...

Cry now, all of you cry a river of tears! ...
Cry for the man, even though he made his choice! ...
Cry long, cry hard friends and family! ...
Cry for the man, but for his boys, cry first! ...

red or black

I watched a game show called red or black
fasinated to see the game was i
no real skill was involved
just pick a colour red or black

the loser was to go home the winner carries on with the show
red or black the contest continue to choice
till they win to the studios
eight contestants now are left
from a 1000 losers, where not picked

in the studio they are now still they had to pick red or black
now they feel sick
near the million they are
till they are down to the last two, they have to be

only one winner this game show can have
for the chance to win a million quid
to stop that ball on to the color of choice they must pick
red or balck they have to pick

for one million pounds worth of joy if they got it wrong
on on the bus they will go home less a million quid
now they will feel sick loser

........................................

i was once a sad, sad man
with no where to go without a plan.
a man like me was full of dispair
i always thought to myself life isnt fair.
i woke one day to realize its untrue
why spend your days feeling blue.
you see i raise my daughter all by myself
shes all i live for, why have i felt.
so bad for myself is not a way of life,
a better life is worth the strife.
shes the one i live for,
why would i need more.
i feel better these days you should see,
life is about her and not about me.

The doctor´s waiting room

Patiently they sit there
Old and frail most of them
life weary.
Seated on plastic chairs
under printed posters
warning of aids and
the danger of smoking.
Then a child´s sobbing
shatters the silence
her fear or pain a reminder
that life goes on,
a new beginning meeting
with approaching endings
in a doctor´s waiting room.

Daddy's sky

Dane, Harrison, Wade and Devin
Daddy miss's you every day, all seven 
I wish so much I could see you play
Take you to the park, just for a day
If you ever miss me and you start to cry
Just look up, up at the sky 
And remember daddy's here too
Looking up at that same sky, just like you

~~TO BE A FAMILY OF CHOICE~~

Your family must love you, no matter what.
Still if you often behave like a real nut.
They do not care if you are lazy or if you swear.
They love you because you are theirs.

You cannot choose the family you are born in, it is true.
Sometimes the fit may feel quite crooked.
But you have more in common with them than you know.
They have shaped your life much like bread’s shaped from dough.

The next time you feel like disowning them,
Take a moment to ponder before you condemn.
Without your family, you would be more alone.
They are the only family you have known.

So before swearing, trying doing something more constructive
Show them you do care you are part of their family.
Do act more sane than crazy as a nut,
For others will see who's family you were born to.

Hello my friend you are my family so show your love in
Return by caring for who brought you into this world.
I am the one that given you a family of love~~~

About this poem:
To show being from your family is very indeed important as many kids today are not very grateful for their family they are given too.Without family who do you go home to?
