Don’t be sad now that I’m gone For all my incompleteness has been made whole My idiosyncrasies have synchronized My evil has been turned to the good My unwillingness made willing Freed from myself I was allowed to right my wrong Struggle free and find absolution My absolution was quickly given away To those that seek their own but cannot find it with the living

Absolution
When words carelessly spoken Cause about them a terrible roar When hearts they are broken Selling feelings like a ***** Scorned, throttled and beaten Torn as if limbs in their minds Thrown down, burned into ash and eaten Careless to hurt, living so blind When the ones you have treated Have died, cursed, or bleated Bedeviling thoughts of him who is seated Shall return to you with fire in time With fire of their ire Will you they seek To tear at your bones and your heart to ***** And then you will learn that they were priceless To a tone deaf ******* whose heart was of stone Seek revenge upon your eternal and dying soul Only then will you understand you were rich Only then will you know that karma’s a b!tch

Karma is a Terrible B!tch
Grip the side of the bed in fear Swelling in the air, a curse run amok Seeing faces turn gray the seer Fingers turn white a stare at the clock How can I go when I’m not ready? The plaintive cries the hallways fill See my hands shake, my legs unsteady Jump out of the window or swallow a pill Where will those with class go to mend? Among the pittance of which they dwell Without a small sheet to wipe their a$$es Will they su€k and gasp to the pits of hell? Where is the mercy that thou dost seek? Not as gentle the mist that has released Shall it be boisterous or commonly meek? What shall your soul do if called deceased

Such as Death Should Do
I can’t share, the truths I can’t bear Life is cold, it doesn’t seem fair Walking beside yourself, passing you by Needing some love, you cannot find Earth is in action, it does not care These are your dreams, vanish in the air Seeing the truth in slices, that’s no lie Gasping for air, why do I try? Listing alone, off to the side Seeking a purpose, a true and tried Can’t ever go home, just wander wide It’s all a loss, don’t know why I even tried

Listing Alone
What we are isn’t what we were. What we will be isn’t what we are now.

What we are...
I look in the mirror and see Wrinkles impressed upon me Some from good and some for bad I've earned each one, I'm not sad Each wrinkle tells a story Some glad some gory So many ups and downs Caused the smiles and frowns I gaze the mirror and ask Is this really me I take to task? How did time fly by so fast? My life is set in wrinkles cast Upon my face, I wear my life My sons and dearest wife Some happened in the fire Some took form because it was dire I prefer the ones that came from smiles A raised brow to see for miles A ripple around my face pointed up I wouldn’t remove a wrinkle, it's been my cup

Earned These Wrinkles
If Jesus Christ did die for the sins of the world, then for which ones’ did He not?

Nagging Question
A morgue is an unhappy place regardless of time or place. The somber few that haunt the halls often project the surroundings dreadfully. While walking the gray tiled rooms it’s known too that we shall one day wear the toe tag. But mortality gives way to reality and jobs are done with quiet respect for passed souls. And then there’s the Juarez Morgue... A hot July day and a drive through Mexican customs brought a meeting with police officials. A body in their possession, they thought, would bring transportation home. Calloused officials with shiny gold 45’s aglow, spoke rhythmic Spanish in their police code. A ****** said one and this should be fun a ride with those looking more like hit men. A car loaded with “Madrinas,” in tow and AR 15’s laid in seats in a row. How odd thought he in a land purportedly free and fright on passerby faces. Cocky bravado speaking radio slang, did drive towards the Juarez morgue. A couple miles out a turn in and out did place them in a neighborhood quiet. But a familiar smell in a nose did swell, and wonder of how that could be valid. Putrefaction it was, the odor rose above as the children played gleefully nearby. How could it be when he could not see the edifice emitting the smell? A small octagon building, small air conditioners in four windows. Could it be that this was the morgue? The desert sun bright and heat overbearing. My God this is a place of death among many living, what a fright! The escorts did enter, the detective slowly met the front door. He was quite pensive when sliding from light to the dark. His eyes gone black his vision insufficient, as he started to be able to see. A wet sounding step and a curious glance, did place his feet in crimson water. Disbelief as the room came into focus, he saw well the visions of what belong in hell. Bags of bones stacked they were, a femur and skull, the fully decomposed welcomed. Four porcelain tables and bodies disabled lay upon with nary a stare. Just shortly behind bodies piled feet high forget a tray or a gurney. Overcome by it all he began to stall, and try to gather his thoughts. Rank smell in his nose sent him scrambling for his cigar. The smoke unable to cover what he did discover, his heart fell hard to his knees. How inhuman it was to see rampant disregard for the dead. No scalpels used to cut the Y, a kitchen knife he could cry. Sewed up a corpse, with rough twine of course, he regretted where he did stand. His spine became metal his mind did reel and a new wrinkle appeared on his brow. On some summer nights when heat fills the air, he does look up to the moon. His mind travels back to the withering stacks, and the odor still gathers in his nose. The years have passed by and he doesn’t know why, the memories will not fade. Restless sleep, fallen heart, many more new wrinkles have taken there place. A war there has broken out, and factions viciously **** He can’t help but wonder what has happened in Juarez. The tractors and the bodies they plow. No building this time a long ditch in the ground scores of people pushed into a long trench. He walks each day with what he has seen, which cannot be unseen. Wrestling with himself in the bed, and covering his head. The dead they do come to visit still. The Morgue in Juarez left it’s print in the mind of a young fellow. Indulge the last line if you have some spare time.  Dios bendiga los muertos de Juarez.

Visit to a Juarez Morgue
