You must have a hope
To inspire you.
You must have a path
To pursue.
You must have a object
To work for, a plan
And a purpose in view.

You must have a some direction
Or lost you'll go drifting along.
You must have faith to guide you,
When life holds no light
And no song!

You must have a stake in the future,
Though swiftly the years may depart.
You always have something to live for
If you have a dream in your heart.!

Integrity in Sports never 100% sound
on the up and up unfound
I loved football like every man
going WWE canceled me as fan

For early defectors they found cure
scripted drama THE solution for sure
owners all about revenue taken in
filling stadiums more relevant than win

Action Packed assures fans don't leave
being duped is reason to grieve
Assertions most reluctant to concede true
remove denial blinders you'll see too

Playoffs precarious until seasons final play
not occurring every year ODDS say
Pathetic grandstanding every play they make
today's majority "Thug League" mostly fake

Saints without Katrina wouldn't think so!
Red Sox without 'bomb' hell NO
Ironic tragedies culminate into championship year
after Harvey Astro's by happenstance persevere

Tragedies and for affected I feel
championships helped the cities people heal
blowouts past prompted patrons to leave
now 'drama' based scripting to deceive

Many fans unruly after team's success
bullies become murderers a safe guess
Diehard fans shall deem sentiments absurd
I FIRMLY stand behind every word

Mirror - Mirror what do you see
Other than a reflection of me
Do you see all of my sorrows
Or the future of all my tomorrows

The sadness that lurks behind the eyes
The happenings that have made me wise
Lost loves that pains to remember
Or new loves lighting my eyes with ember

Wishful thinking of a permanent love
With hopes of help from above
Lines worn deep from age
Each one telling its tale of sage

Do you see the ravages of starkness
Caused by exposure to others darkness
Hoping for more light to shine through
And that special love meant for two

The sun shown on the lone grave
As she stood gazing at the stone
Distance memories flowing in waves
Lapping at her mind like foam

How yellow was Mom's favorite color
Especially little flowers like buttercups
Continued memories of her Mother
Starting to cry until she hiccuped

Suddenly a yellow butterfly gently flew by
Right to the stone briefly touching it
Like saying to the stone a brief hi
On to the shoulder of the woman it lit

Staying only briefly there as though to say
Do not cry for your Mom for she is not here
She is looking down and not far away
Watching over you she will always be near

Away the yellow butterfly gently flew
In the graveyard to another stone
Looking to spread comfort to those too
Reminiscing their memories and feeling alone

Swallowing colors that weighed down my pride
With a smiling face my charisma could hide
Holding these feelings that I just want to hold
Buried by chains hoping in time I'll let go
But only in death will I ever find rest
Sending my demons to hell for all the nights that I've wept
Stripping my bones of this flesh that I've so longed to peel
I get caught in its depths and I just want to kill
While I pray to my God my heart falls from the sky
Deeply buried below where my angels subsides
Displacement of love found in all the wrong places
Anger becomes hate then I detach and just break shit
So tell me again doc how should I let go
Before my serotonin and sanity spill all over the floor
From emptied bottles of pills where your salvation is faceless
Chasing bottles of violence until I get wasted
Naked, deflated, bloody knuckled, and bruises
You stood with closed eyes ignorant and still clueless
With no frame of reference to understand where I died
Or why the darkness surrounding keeps me far from the light
Lord of my life would you please start this over
Dig me out of this hole shrinking from sober to colder
Where the maggots consume the only heaven awaiting
But there's nothing left in this world but myself that can save me

~Jesse Okoroshi Masu Forster ~

In my mind, you are the thought,

in my heart you are the beat,

I can’t live without both,

it’s your love that make me fit.



You are sparkling in my eyes,

in my soul you are the essence,

I couldn’t find that magic twice,

It’s the joy that fulfill me in your presence.

Evenings beach sand cradles your back with a cool soothing feel
the wonderment that is Nature never lacks in it's appeal
On clear nights you can see a twinkle in the farthest star
The Moon light sparkles atop the calm waters from afar

After dozing off I imagined a life void of pain
an existence where peace has eternal reign
Absence of ill will negates strife
zero worry about a diseased life

Death and taxes aren't part of reality
peace of mind a perpetual mentality
All live harmoniously on equal ground
evil no where to be found

Medicinal benefit is abundant in everything you ingest
any reasonable desires are available at your request
My eyes opened wide due to this vivid dream I just had
it's so memorable because nothing about it resembled bad

Maybe what I dreamed exist somewhere in the vast outer space
impossible maybe but nice to 'Imagine' there being such a place

You've had some bad breaks
precious..
You put your best foot forward
and no one can deny that gleam
your eye
A relationship that a restless
sea tossed upon the rocks left
you sprawling in the sand like
new born crab
And the morning sun burned your
heart in hells grief and you..
only you were left to wander
endlessly amongst the black
jagged clift's of your worse
nightmare for you darling..
Are Lonely!
Ah! But darling, there are levels
of spirit and being that you know
not of..
But of course you care not for these
words, at least not yet
What are needful things?
What is needful to you at this
time?
You need
You want
You lust
You desire with all the raging
passion of being to..be loved!
You hate the circumstances
But..You cannot be angry with
yourself
Why?
Because the real wound has not
been opened
The bloody screwed up mess you
see when you look in your bedroom
mirror has an image and a tear and
a message for you
If that image could speak perhaps
would voice words strange to your
ears
It might say..' You must be your
own person..'
Never never seek deep companionship
with anyone YOU don' want to be
with because if you do do it means
you are not truly rooted in your
own soul and might grab at anything
or anybody just to relieve your
immediate pain
Make the other person of your desire
live up to your standards for once
Stop crawling like some miserable
bug in the dirt hoping that if you
appear slave enough and devoted
enough you will at last be loved
HOG WASH!
With that attitude you will have
secured the slavery intended for
you
Light a fire around your heart and
dare all to enter at their own
risk
Lonely, loner, and alone are words
to be tossed in a popcorn bag
In all due respect darling you need
to kick a lil a** out of respect for
yourself..
And when you do..
You're my kind of woman..

Bliss we're now experiencing unique
maybe love reaching highest peak
Passion incapable of fizzling out
mutual respect most can't tout

Desire for other transcends mundane
own relation that won't wane
Both lucky ones I declare
"Til Death" allegiance we share

Destiny led US to here
U and I "One" dear

Debbie for you I will forever have love
you my sweet I shall forever think of
Forced to suppress feelings elevated desire for you
impeding circumstance always reason I had too

We were supposed to be ONE together
passion we shared I couldn't find in another
I believed we'd inevitably share my last name
that never coming to fruition both are to blame

Our relation contained magic and it's demise so sad
It hurt deep settling for less than what we should've had
Your sudden diagnosis a devastating slap in the face
I hope you're where you believed is a heavenly place

I didn't just lose my love I lost my best friend
'What could've been' I will ponder til my end
