The path is willowed,
yet it is not a willowed path,
for what it is,
it is surely not.
What we see,
is not what is,
for what is,
we do not see.
Life is all great trickery.

The person is born,
The person is still unknown,
The person has died.

The victors use me,
I'm the assistant to thought,
People call me pen.

Soon it will arrive,
the day we meet our demise,
the day of true peace.

The seed of joy is now gone,
the men on top trying too hard,
just let the drink hold,
and let everyone taste the drink of gold.

The men up top have not done that,
driving the great drug away,
thinking they are doing right,
oh how they don’t posses great sight.

New distributers have come around,
the uppers oblivious to all,
basically letting the drink hold,
oh how I love the taste of gold.

I think the top believes they won,
but I hope they realize what they did,
crimes of innocence now arise,
the marvelous drink I do not despise.

The saga ends with fault,
new people come here to supply,
men living in the wretched clink,
all because of the golden drink.

November 22/1963,
the day remembered in infamy,
a great man vanished,
Camelot was banished.

He rode in a deathly motorcade,
one where history was made.
Cheers deafened the mass,
he was shot by an outcast.

His smile charmed his people,
nobody was his equal.
His slick hair swayed in the Texas air,
he would soon have a new heir.

His convertible top was down,
his waves controlled the town.
His presence was tremendous,
the shot was stupendous.

CRACK, CRACK, CRACK,
two shots made contact,
his head burst in two,
the question was, who?

Head in lap, Jackie cried,
her eyes wet like low tide.
Men in black rushed to the car,
the shooter now afar.

Rushed to the hospital in haste,
the air possessed a bad taste.
The news was all about,
his life very much in doubt.

Hours passed with slow pace,
peoples tears burned like mace.
A country was without a head,
LBJ is the man they said.

Finally the time had come,
the news startling none,
JFK is dead! JFK is dead!
The people mourned in dread.

The age of youth was out,
times of havoc were about,
JFK is dead! JFK is dead!
The country is still in dread.

Lately the anger has controlled me,
I don't know what to do,
My head knows I shouldn't,
My heart tells me to.

Why am I so sad?
Why have I been so mad?
It's a girl you see,
I like her but she doesn't like me.
I'm not in love,
I'm not hypnotized by her,
I am let down.
Rejected.
Useless.

Sure she is so pretty,
Compassionate too,
But this is not love.  
I am just let down.

In the end,
I am pathetic as could be.
This poem really pointless
And embarrassing.
But it is the source of escape
For I don't want to speak.
I talk of her sometimes,
But in the end,
She is just a mere thought.

One day I will laugh at this,
Realize how dumb I was,
As for now I am sad.
Maybe a little mad.
But one day I'll smile,
Maybe even chuckle,
At how my ignorance
was so incredibly bliss.

A lonely man,
alone he stands,
crying deep into his hands,
his life shelled in a can,
seeing life, and so he ran,
tears separating into strands,
his name never spoken of over the lands,
he is a lonely man.

His life is boring and awful too,
his joy short and brief like a word,
he hopes to meet something one day,
but he already knows he will rue,
the day he isn’t socially absurd,
so now he lives in dismay.

Sitting at this table
Not knowing what to write
The future of this poem,
Way out of my sight.

I struggle with each line
Not knowing what to do
I yearn to succeed,
In pleasing all of you.

I ponder on what will happen,
Will this poem be enjoyed?
I wonder who will read it,
And if they'll be annoyed.

This poem is not deep or sad
It's a poem in present time
Not meant to englighten or teach
Just a friendly rhyme.

Thank you for reading my poem
It was quite fun to create
I hope you found it humorous
Its lines not meant to hate.

Everywhere you go
There for all with beating hearts
Choose one and progress.

The main trait of man,
driving the modern "free" world,
pride is what we want,
blood and death is what we get,
war is us and we are war.
