Gimme







His fingers are fat
And under his stomach his
Belt holds on for dear life.
His dress clothes from work,
His cubical job, selling bullshit for
A living.
The world owes him in his mind,
He sits there in his chair.
‘I want a bigger TV.
I want a cake.
I want a new chair.
I want a new phone.
I want a dog,
A cat,
A shirt,
New shoes,
Leather couch,
Lots of money,
And lots of women.
I want the world and they should give it to me.’
Hated by his neighbors.
Unlooked upon by women,
Disowned by co-workers.
He lives, alone, not
Paying for anything.
Not trying to make any more money
Not going into the world.
He can see the TV, the chair,
The dog, he can see the cake
Looming in the distance.
He’ll never get it,
He’ll never deserve it.
Kid with a wife that he no
Longer knows.
Escaped one
Trap.
Now dying in self-inprisonment.

Ignorance







I wake up every morning to
The smell of the flowers
And the wonderful sun that
Streams sweetly in my window.
I get out of bed to start
Another beautiful day,
Where I live so
Sweetly.
On my way to work I see only
The storefronts, freshly painted
and shop owners standing on the steps
waving and smiling.
I get to my job and everyone is
Happily typing their
Work. I open the news paper and
See all the wonderful stories
The ones about the puppies and the
Heroic deeds, the finding of treasure.
I go home at night to my house that I love in
My beautiful city, that is thriving so brightly.
I still smell the sweet smell of rose petals as I tuck myself
Into my sheets and pray, knowing that He heard me.
I never get bummed out and I never am sad,
The world is a beautiful place and everything is wonderful here.

Aging Imagination







As the time ticks away
and the calendar pages turn.
Birthdays come and go
Like changing day.

Once so alive and
Lush. Now
The time has taken its toll.
No time to do anything
To sit and think
to wonder about
all of those questions
that can never be answered.
No time to think of the absurd
And the wonderful.
Just time to worry
And fret about the headlines
Of the news paper and
Get angry at the taxes.
Imaginations live and die
In one lifetime. With age comes wisdom
And life cut in stone.
Nothing left in the
Places where our imaginations
Once flowed.

We grow old
And dry up.
Willingly.
Become jaded
And skeptical.
Imaginations live and
Die, it seems overnight.
In one lifetime we see
The dragons and the knights
And the magic, the awe and the wonder.
Until one day
Where we see just the blank slate
Where the stories and
Wonderful paintings used to be.
Growing old and
Misplacing the magic
Forgetting where
We put it.

Knowledge







Falter and fallen,
The flag of our (fathers).
In hearts green with envy and greed.
Follow him through the desert
And he will lead you forever in place.
Bow and honor, offer (and) pray.
Praise and worship till the end of your days.
Hating others who don’t feel the same way.
The night still is haunted with (thoughts)
And (sins), fearful of the world around you.
. . .
I see truths. (unmasked illusions).
He didn’t make the world, or the evil on it.
You are content eating their pure lies,
Nothing but space lives (above) our blue skies.
I hold the key, to (open your eyes). .
Unlock your senses and see through the fog.
Welcome to the world. . How are you today?
I’m sorry to tell you but (A = A).
No illusions here, for your mind to hide.
You are how You are!

Cruelest of Cruel







Oh! Cruelest of cruel

How wicked, and wretched

Now in the ominous dark

The glow of your eyes

Shines through, like beams,

Save me from thy wrath.

Fallen hearts and faint beginnings

Cruelest of cruel

Stare at me not, ominous grins,

Fears are risen as

Shadows dance a ballet of broken tomorrows.

Weave and drop, weave and drop,

My lungs contract as your knuckles go

Pop.
