It's been awhile but I have a poem coming out soon.
I didn't sleep last night Tossing and turning from another body count driven by a terrorist organization with no true goal then to cause mayhem God take me back to the USSR The statues of blue collared workers in the streets It wouldn't matter if you were a carpenter, a doctor, or a farmer. You were all on the same train heading to your families at the end of the day. Take me back to the time people didn't profit off the water sold to the thirsty Take me back to the day when people didn't drive a dollar from the sicks oxygen By god take me to when a potato farmer wasn't spending more for his dirt then he was getting in return for his natural resources I am ****** off. The generation we are growing up in is being coddled. Our hands don't need to be held because we are forming our own opinions that have been foreign to you. We believe in what happened behind your door is your business. Because love is love and we are all in this world together Your generation has not always picked the best leader. This time isn't seeming any different. How can we appoint a man that isn't confident enough to show his bald spot and is forced to wear a toupee. Well let me tell you something. America is bald. And there is no toupee to cover up are **** ups We are not a broken generation we are just being shadowed by forefathers that set guidelines for a corrupt corporate government. Sit the **** down and give us our voice back Or we will pack up. And go back to the USSR God please take me back to the USSR

I want 12 o clock udf trips I want to wake up next to you at 6 in the morning to simply give you a kiss and go to work Because in America. After love, the only thing we have to sit on are the blue collar workers fighting the good fight to give us the freedom to love I want your hand in mine, But never touching wrist. Because you said you are afraid of our veins popping out. But I'm afraid that if they do they will tie in knots and I won't be able to let go You are stuck in a lump of post fling relationships that hold you back from tying your veins into mine From letting the tips of our hair connect in a patch of daises on the cold ashy ground of a meadow in woods of fallen comrades Because although most wars are fought with guns The good ones are fought with words. I need our love to stand true and not fall through because I'm running out of puppy dog nicknames for random girls that always fall short of grasping my heart the way you did. Your grasp is an iron maiden that caught hold two years ago At times I feel it dies to the torture of the cold metal spike But for that there are plenty of cold peanut butter milkshakes with chocolate milk, because white milk is just to normal for someone as abnormal as you But I do understand there is a lot holding you back. There is a man fighting a war that has no purpose being behind enemy lines And if I have learned something in my many years. I support the brave troops. But I cannot support the wars for a materialistic freedom driven by oil consumption and corporate ******** I love you Because you are much like an American flag. Though we have been burned so many times. Even on fire we are a symbol of beautiful freedom that struck me in my childhood and that will carry through my soul for the rest of my days If you love something set it free. But you are already a beautiful fire flapping your opinion in the wind Telling me when I'm being unreasonable or quite frankly a bit of a sarcastic ******* But I cant be upset at you I've given you more reasons then one to not put your faith in me, Anytime things get rough or I'm afraid of hurting you. I distance myself But I will never forget the time you told me it hurts you more when I leave Because I forced myself to choke back tears from the pain of tearing my arms away from you My last words will not be as meaningful as Che Guevara They will not be as ironic as tom Ketchum They will not be as dark as Edgar Allen Poe But they will mean something Even though they have been said so many times It will be simply this I love you

Oh oh come friends. To the river we go I don't know what situations led to us to come to this magical places. And I don't know what led me to the i75 alone behind a steering wheel Oh oh come friends to the river we go I'm not good at phone calls But curse my name if I wasn't driving and listen to you talk about your day to your friends mom through satellites. Oh oh come friends. To the river we go We have disconnected the call and I'm still thinking of the past days I've listened to you. I'm stuck thinking what if this is a friends fling like with your friends and your friends friends. And I think what if this is another excuse to love my self a little more I think what if this an excuse to drown someone out I think what if I hurt myself on another person I think what if you And I smile That's all it took. Was the mere thought of awkwardly reaching for you hand And I smiled. Oh oh come friends. to the river we go There is a traffic jam and I am in the fast lane blaring don't fear the reaper We are merging lanes To the right and I am stuck in thought We are merging lanes And to the middle I am lighting a cigarette We are merging And to the right I am BAM ! Oh oh come friends to the river we go. There was no collusion Just the sound of an 80 thousand dollar bmws horn A sight I would have been jealous of before But on this night I don't need a car to smile On this night I don't need fancy things On this night I just need you Oh oh come friends. To the river we go. I'm passing the sign for the Ronald Reagan highway And 65 miles per hour has never felt so fast I want to talk to you but I can hear your voice scolding me for looking at my phone while on the road. But I smile I can hear your voice I can feel you there next to me And I'm still happy at the mere thought of you Oh oh come friends to the river we go With you I don't need luck We can split a thousand poles We can laugh at the thought of a Buddha belly We can step on 4 leaf clovers We can walk under ladders because your hand will be in mine and that is the only luck I need Oh oh come friends to the river we go. The sight of this river under me is almost as beautiful as you. Sitting on the bank watching my new friends passionately Kiss while standing on the ruins of a smoldering burnt American flag with jemi Hendrix playing is almost as infinite as you But nothing will make me happier then being with you. Oh oh come friends. To the river we go

Mechanic Photographer Writer Poet Boy genius Slacker Son ? Dad ? Dad What else do I see in the mirror Why does the thought of me being you scare me in the most exciting way We fight You speak better with your fist than you ever have with words And what if one day my words are jumbled in the cracking of knuckles Don't cry son Big boys don't cry Choke it back Be strict in a lenient way and One day it will be you hated One day it will be you who fight with the mother of your children And stop fighting with the mother of mine Why do you do this Why is she crying again Oh my god I am just like you We are two of the only men that can bring her to tears Say you'll leave Say you'll leave and make her fall She keeps grasping you In a picture The Funeral : which one of us will die first With your old age And my stupid addictions If it were me would you cry If it were you would I No matter what would happen. I gave an arm for you And I would proudly give more I look back to days of fishing in a creek Getting our feet wet but still walking with shoes on because broken glass isn't forgiving in the slightest way Where was your alcoholic rage that should have been passed down from generations above you Where was that Irish man temper with a Portuguese flare Where were you when the police picked me up and I was no longer your son I'm sorry I'm sorry But somethings need to be burned That trash cans with recyclables called to my eco friendly egotistical pyromaniac self The words echo like that slap in the face At our kitchen table You are dead to me You were born first. But on that day, I would die last. As time flies Your health isn't standing I'm slowly being force to migrate as the head of this house This broken family with my brother moving up the street Somehow still by your side Out of one side of his mouth saying I love but out of the other side cursing your lies Two daughters, that will be nothing like us Two daughters that will be brought up in a broken generation Two daughters that put hammer to the nail finalizing the responsibilities that follow the title of I an uncle He a father And you an elder With these children around I've made the full discovery of something that has always been there Through the hard times you've stuck by our side. I love you dad

Dear Mother You have always been there in my time of need The facts of life, that I have learned A beautiful mother will always have her boys to feed No matter the age, I know your respect must be earned I may be tall and stout But i would never run my mouth Because no matter how big I sprout I will always remember you grow up in the south This year I didn't get you flowers But instead I sat down and wrote this It might have taken a few hours So please read this in complete bliss In fifteen days I will  be a man In fifteen days I will enter the real world In fifteen days life might turn bland But in fifteen days I will get to see you twirl For even though I am leaving high school I will always remain close to home Because with a mother like you it would take a fool To take off and roam Because no matter how many  miles  traveled There will be a spot in your heart for me That will not be tainted or unraveled But rather be open and free <3 I love you mom <3

What is life really One moment after another Until one day Someone has stopped calling They stop breathing People left to stand over a coffin But soon enough Enough moments will pass And their funeral will not be the last What is life really One moment after another Until one day someone is gathered around your casket Talking about your last words But soon enough Enough moments will pass And your funeral will not be the last

What is life really
what the hell is wrong with me What have I become IM NOT READY ? Seriously ... I blame this on a curse On a love that is burning On a what if Two years ____________ You've given two years You waited You waisted She's not coming back How'd it feel Show empathy Show empathy Show empathy You've been there Why am I doing this to another soul You've been there Not in tears, but In a ****** knuckle stoop, Of rage, and pain, and lies OH THE LIES she didn't lie to you But you to her You were, was, are the best thing that has ever happens to me. Two years is a blink of an eye I love you like a classic car. I admire your smell and beauty Your sound and movement But I can only love from afar NO! **** THAT You are mine You are mine I will wait for the day we align I will wait for the day we are porch kids For the day we are porch parents For the day we are porch grand parents So for eternity we will share Coffee and laughs Cigarettes and tears Tender love and passionate fights                      Till the day                             We will have                                         Eternity .....

YOU ARE NAMELESS
Night time is the worst times to write My dreams are blocked Instead I lay, absorbing everything like a camera. I hear the crickets chirp Feel the cool trickle of the water pouring from the water spout I have the inevitable passion to just get up and run Run from all the past thoughts and memories Run to a quiet place that is too loud to bear because some times silence has the highest decibel I want to jump and be swallowed by a sea of fire Anywhere is better than here Anyone is better than you And anytime before that night I was happy
