Why
Why...?
Why am I going to go to a place everyday...?
Smiling and acting like I want to be there...?
Because that is what is expected of me?
A cog?, A wheel in the machine?
I'll make this b*tch spin.
For what...?
So I can help the rich get further ahead...?
Others who don't give a damn about me personally?
Wouldn't sit across the table from me and break bread?
Silver Spoon Mother f**kers who are already well off ?
Really...?
Tell me why should I sweat for you?
Why should I help you to my detriment?
How is it that I became your slave?
Tell me again why I need you.
A virus..., Plague..., Nasty sickness.
Sucking my f*cking life away.
Never again...Never...,
I will die first...

About this poem:
Got tired of being overworked, underpaid, underappreciated everyday...
Tomorrow!
I think I have lost tomorrow, it was here yesterday, I have searched in everyway, it wont reappear come what may, So, I must adhere to what is here, so tomorrow is now, and this is what I see, what tomorrow will be, a new future for you and for me!

Post CommentOnward we go.
The art of communication has changed, rearranged, instead of "I said", its now, "I was like" instead of " I said back" it's "I turned around and said", so they are constantly turning around (for no reason) being like something (for no reason) and THEY are going to be the leaders of our world? No rhyme, no time, its all gonna be over soon.

After the Party
It's getting late, I must go
I had a beer where did it go
I had to pee. I know it's here.
Can't find my keys, where's my shoes.
I gotta go take another pee.
telephone rings, where's my phone!
under the cushions, I find a dime
I know this don't rhyme.
I found a beer is this mine?
taste like lipstick, can't throw it out.
Where's my keys, I gotta take a pee.
Found a pair of shoes they're bigger then me.
It's getting late, I can't escape.
I want my coat, In case I croak
I had a beer where did it go
I had to pee. I know it's here.
Can't find my keys, where's my shoes.
I gotta go take another pee.

About this poem:
wanted to repost this after i pulled it.Game On
Well, I've read the papers and I've watched the news, decided this is all a ruse, we're in
constant motion, nothing we can change, or rearrange, what's going to be is what's going to be, But we still think that we can change the you and the me, and the new generations cannot see, that they're not new, that they're not you and they're not me, just a younger creation, with a different imagination, and they feel unique, searching and striving for what they seek, But they KNOW they are different, and they KNOW they can be a better version of you and me, UNTIL they find they are just the same, lost forever in this never ending game.

Post CommentI know?
I know there's something more, I know that we go on, perchance in a different form,
I know there's those that trust, in a God, and they feel they must,
I know that their belief, helps them in their life, brings them relief,
I know that some don't know, don't care, where they are or where they go,
I know that some believe, that we are nothing and then we leave,
I know I will never know, who we are or where we go, until it ends,
and then hopefully, we will still be friends!

Post CommentOne and only one
A strange light enveloped me, mystically, whimsically, suddenly,
and all that was and all that could be, was there for me, for
me to see,
But it was not just for me, and not just personally, it was the whole world laid
bare, and it was in my care,
I could feel the suffering, I could feel the pain, from everyone
that had come and gone,
Every thought and every lie, and every mournful tearful
cry,
I knew it all was a part of me, and everything was reality,
And when I awoke, it was crystal clear, that we are all one with nothing
to fear.

Post CommentLet's start over
WAR!!!!! is not the way, yet it's in our history, from tribes of old, to modern day, it seems to be that we cannot see, a new design, its always the same time after time, civilizations have ended before, probably thousands, we are destined to be just one more, there is no hope for humanity for the blind cannot see, there's only one way for it to end, a clean slate, for its just too late, to change, our history, that is drowned in misery, so a new beginning is our destiny, we will end ourselves eventually!

Post CommentBut it was fun while it lasted!
And tomorrow will be, oh yes, with or without you or me, its strange to see, such continuity, but that is the way, come what may, when playtime ends, it's goodbye my friends.

Post CommentThe young!
The young, what can you say? naive and innocent, and damm frustrating, no sense of life, always rushing in, and they know it all, until they fall, and then they ask for assistance, they show (this time) no resistance, so we help them up, (again) and help them on their way to this video game of life they play, until reality comes to call,
it's then they grow up,................. just like us all.
