Dark
Locked in chains
No escape
Abused day in day out
No light only cruel smiles
That sends chills
Locked in this dark place
It has made us insane
Where you think of suicide
Thanks to the guards we end up
Traumatized
No escape
Abused day in day out
No light only cruel smiles
That sends chills
Locked in this dark place
It has made us insane
Where you think of suicide
Thanks to the guards we end up
Traumatized

About this poem:
How Dept. Of corrections treats its inmates
July 4
My last two karaoke songs were sung by George Michael
Freedom and Freedom 90
When I think of the fourth of July I think of freedom
Free to be who I am without judgement
Free to go outside without fearing for my safety from thugs and cops
Free to see a doctor or a dentist without financial ruin
Free to live in a house
Free to sleep without waking up too early
The songs deal with relationships
The first doesn't want freedom, all he wants is that special lady
The other freedom to have equal give and take in a relationship
Not always have to be the one always giving while the other just takes
When I was a kid it was about the fireworks
I am going to buy some today
I thought the song Afternoon Delight was about fireworks too
But as I have gotten older from 1976 when I was only six
It is about a good relationship
Where you can always look forward to some sky rockets in flight

About this poem:
I listen to many songs related to the Fourth of July, Voices That Care from the 91 Iraq and Kuwait War, and God Bless the USA by Lee Greenwood, American Pie by Don McLean is another good one.
All shook up
White tiles
well examined
blue shift spray
fortitude in clocks
time dimensions
weighing in
cobalt cartesian
fully entrained
we make homage
dead players revolt
live satellite dawn
angel hair, down
slipping existence
fruit melee
peel for peel
gainful resistance
meta juice boy
we're all shook up
well examined
blue shift spray
fortitude in clocks
time dimensions
weighing in
cobalt cartesian
fully entrained
we make homage
dead players revolt
live satellite dawn
angel hair, down
slipping existence
fruit melee
peel for peel
gainful resistance
meta juice boy
we're all shook up

About this poem:
When white tiles isn't enough lets go more :)Night sculpted
In the ink-stained nebula
this the course of the abyss
light as in eternity
there are the ones
who were taken
within the sacrifice
their hearts beat serene
these roads to the stars
are an empty conveyance
I tell you this
it is a trick of the light
now servants of the void
I hear you say quietly
were they sculpted by night?
were they cast from stone?
my friend, my friend
this dusty reliance
on faith as it suits you
yet still we shall not perish
this the course of the abyss
light as in eternity
there are the ones
who were taken
within the sacrifice
their hearts beat serene
these roads to the stars
are an empty conveyance
I tell you this
it is a trick of the light
now servants of the void
I hear you say quietly
were they sculpted by night?
were they cast from stone?
my friend, my friend
this dusty reliance
on faith as it suits you
yet still we shall not perish

About this poem:
rave on, rave on, got a feeling, go with itMemory of Regret
Time goes by so quickly
Here I sit with a glass of wine
And the memory of you
Memories of the past
Can soothe the soul
But memories of regret
Can make you numb
All possibilities are left
Only in your mind
Here I sit with a glass of wine
And the memory of you
Memories of the past
Can soothe the soul
But memories of regret
Can make you numb
All possibilities are left
Only in your mind

Listen to the wind as it blows
A gentle breeze soft and slow
The stars are out
taking on a magnificent glow
Waves pounding rhythmically in a row
How easy it is to become one with the sea
Slowing your life down the way it should be
Enjoying nature's free therapy
Living in the moment and
Feeling free
A gentle breeze soft and slow
The stars are out
taking on a magnificent glow
Waves pounding rhythmically in a row
How easy it is to become one with the sea
Slowing your life down the way it should be
Enjoying nature's free therapy
Living in the moment and
Feeling free

Not Hung Upon Anything
When we were young we were not hung upon anything
We could be young and discover
The goodness of life as a song to sing
And then one day the world gave us a pill
And we became ill with so many broken dreams
Instead of today we went in the way of what tomorrow brings
And when we got old we tried to hold
To a glimpse of remembering
Of when we were young and not hung upon anything
We could be young and discover
The goodness of life as a song to sing
And then one day the world gave us a pill
And we became ill with so many broken dreams
Instead of today we went in the way of what tomorrow brings
And when we got old we tried to hold
To a glimpse of remembering
Of when we were young and not hung upon anything

I finally did it!
After months of playing this game
I defeated Bowser
He kept trying to stomp on me
I got out of the way
He then fell through the floor
I then rescued the princess
I like the old style video games
The newest system I have is an XBox from 2001
I just can't see spending all that money on the new
When I love the old
Same thing goes for my music
Taylor Swift
Nah
Cyndi Lauper
Yeah!

About this poem:
My last song I listened to is If I Can't Have You by Yvonne Elliman from 1977 on the Bee Gees Saturday Night Fever soundtrack.
A Me Day.
Close the doors, close the curtains.
Put on your music and an old T- Shirt.
Have cerial and coffee on the table.
Run a bath with scented oil, soak and just block out the world.
Shave what needs to be shaved.
Paint your nails.
Cream everything that needs to be creamed.
Become a Lady, an enchanting Women again just for you.
Put on your music and an old T- Shirt.
Have cerial and coffee on the table.
Run a bath with scented oil, soak and just block out the world.
Shave what needs to be shaved.
Paint your nails.
Cream everything that needs to be creamed.
Become a Lady, an enchanting Women again just for you.

We are so busy with work and life.We just need to be Us sometimes.
Having a Me Day.

Childhood Memories
Sitting on the gate with Rose
waiting for the boys
Where are those lads with scruffy clothes
still playing with their toys.
Here comes Jimmy swaggering
catapult in hand
He's wondering what Bill and George
have deviously planned.
Jumping down we greet our pal
as other boys join in
Hopping with excitement now
making such a din.
Down the lane we tumble
what mischief shall we plan
Scrumping in the orchard
on Farmer Giles land.
A butterfly with outstretched wings
warms up in the morning sun
Wonder where he goes at night
when the day is done.
Let's make a camp in yonder wood
play hide and seek and track
I'd love to be alone in there
with Jimmy's brother Jack.
How time has flown since first we met
down by the garden gate
My own young one's now take my place
as down the path they wait.
