America Seems Doomed
Matt Jul 2015
These big powerful guys
What will they do

When there is barely any food left
For me or you?

I am going to survive
On just a little bit of food

They rule with guns
And are so rude

It doesn't matter
How big or strong you are

They have big guns
And armored cars

I'm not scared
And I won't cry

I do my duty
I will not die

For some reason
I envision
And feel as though
A very difficult time
Is coming for our nation

No one seems to listen to me
Or care

But after all this research I have done
I think our country is in
Alot of trouble
Matt Jul 2015
Clueless
Totally clueless

As to the situation
Our country is in

Content to watch television

Clueless about the billions
Of rounds of ammo
Purchased by DHS

Clueless about Jade Helm
About the massive military movements
Within our country
Clueless about the F.E.M.A. camps

Content to watch the news
And be clueless
Matt Jul 2015
I live in a movie
Yes, that's it

And I'd like to play
A part in this movie
Or film

So I can learn more
About myself within

And so I got an education
So I could play

Just to learn there will likely be
No more jobs today

Stoic Calm
Matt Jul 2015
One day I learned
That I lived in a computer

Remember the stoic calm
All these things around me

And all these situations
These busy bodies
Getting angry

It's all the same to me

And I learned to never let
People hurt me

I'm still open to
Companionship
Perhaps one day
We will see

No Jobs
Matt Jul 2015
Tired of this place

Why does she still say "Your mother"

Just say "I"

I'm tired of this


This New America *****
No jobs and we have to live at home
With our parents
Ugh

All forces beyond
My control
It doesn't matter anymore

America is doomed

Come With Me To Yosemite
Matt Jul 2015
Any ladies
Who would like
To come

To come with me
To Yosemite?

I live in California
And maybe you are on
The west coast too?

Just imagine
The fun hiking we can do

I'm not joking
It could be fun

I'm staying at Camp Curry
The tent is built for two

Two single beds

One for me and one for you

But if we share with each other
And grow to care for
Each other even more

Who knows what life
Will have in store

Maybe holding each other
In just that one bed

Leaving bags on
The other bed
Instead

"It feels like heaven"
To hold you I said

Who Am I
Matt Jul 2015
Who am I?

I realized today
I was just a guy
Walking in mountain suburbs
In a black t shirt
And blue jeans

A purpose to this life
I have not yet found it
It seems

Is life real
Or am I just
Living in a dream?

I came across a black dog
By the yard fence

I came to close to pet it
But thought again
And made the right decision
By not sticking my hand in

Good bye doggie
I think I said in my head

And tonight I am thankful
To sleep in my warm bed

The Walker
Matt Jul 2015
Wandering wandering
Wandering again

To the mountain suburbs
Look at the big homes
And the fancy cars

And don't they have it all

I wear plain clothes
And keep the secret in my heart

Ignore the material
And pay attention to the spiritual

Off I go
Jul 2015 · 302
Just One Time
Matt Jul 2015
I wonder what it
Would be like

Just one time
For a woman
To enjoy

The day with me
Just one time

My chest maybe isn't
Big enough

Or Maybe I'm not that handsome
Or whatever

And that's fine

One shoulder is a bit akward
But that's okay

I'm in good shape anyway

She'll find me to be
A loving companion
You see

Perhaps we can sit
Together and enjoy poetry

But these are just dreams

Perhaps just one time
Jul 2015 · 195
Calm
Matt Jul 2015
I listened to the calm
Of the rushing water
I recorded on the mountain trail

I breathed in
I breathed out

I let the ages
And I let the times pass through

Eternal calm
So good for me and you
Matt Jul 2015
Would you like to hear my poems?

Sometimes I wish
I could recite them
To you

Or to an audience

But its fun just to type them I suppose
Matt Jul 2015
People
Most all are
No different
From you and me

They breathe
The same air

Can't you see

They put up a fight
They try to do what is right

Humble yourself
Don't go walking
Around with your chest
Puffed out

Love and respect
For your fellow human being
Is what it's about

A Chief's Dream
Matt Jul 2015
On youtube
A Native American chief
Shared a dream he had

In his dream
He met with Obama

This good man
This man of the earth
This man of wisdom

And he asked Obama
So how are you?

Obama didn't answer
Just looked around
Away from the chief

Then Obama went out
And told everyone
What a great talk
He had with the chief

The chief asked
People for their interpretations

Because in his tradition
It is best if he does not
Interpret his own dreams

Well here is my interpretation
It seems like
Obama doesn't really care

About the people
Of this nation
Or this nation

I think he is spiritually weak
And damaging our country
dream interpretation chief

Hi
Matt Jul 2015
Hi
Different times
And different places
Different names
And different faces

His dull expression
Remained the same

Welcome to life
Some type of game

A plain earth body
Oh so dull

He eats the food
Until he is full

A life spent wandering
Underneath trees

Barely any money
That's okay with mke

The Wanderer
Matt Jul 2015
Wandering in the
Mountain suburbs

Birds in the sky
Voices in the distance

I think I will spend many hours
Today

The therapist
She went away
To another place
To her new big home

Hooray Hooray
For another day

I will go eat
Some breakfast
Then go wandering

Mmkay?

The Day The Sun Exploded
Matt Jul 2015
The day the sun exploded
I didn't
Friggin' care

I sat underneath a tree
Over there

Over there at the park
I sat there until dark

Oh no the sun exploded
And I do not care

I see you at the park
Eating dried apricots

Would you please share?

It's Not Exciting
Matt Jul 2015
They'll yell
And scream
About some event

Tell you its exciting
And blah blah blah

But it's not exciting
I don't buy into
Their mind control programs

Another Day
Matt Jul 2015
My body is unattractive
And women don't like me

Oh well

The body is a tomb
Anyhow

Sometimes I think
Life is incredibly dull

And what's the point
I can't seem to change
My situation

A changing time
A changing place
A changing name
A changing face

But it's really all the same
All the same
It's all a game

It's all a big matrix
A big matrix computer

My plain dull expression
In the reflection
Of my Kenmore fan

Reading articles
Hitting putts
On putting greens for
Hours alone

This must be
What it is all about

As our miserable nation
Teeters on the edge
A nation in economic ruins

Let it fail!
Let the whole thing fail

Lousy politicians and banksters

And all I have is this life
It's really nothing
To get excited about
You know

Heaven better be fun
There better be golf there
Or peace

And there better be women
There to give me a hug
And I better have good friends there

These are the things I want there

The body is a burden

I have become close
To an island

A lonely man
On his lonely island

Wandering wandering
Somewhere random
Banging hiking sticks
On the ground

And look at all the fancy cars
And all the well to do Americans
And aren't they so sure
So confident
In their worthless American dollars

Their toilet paper dollars!

Driving around
With important things to do

As I walk around
With my akward shoulder

Striking sticks against the ground

Hahaha

Is this place all
Just one big joke?

Seems like it I guess

Well I love Jesus
Just as much
As the next Christian

I should take
Some snacks
In a little army
Storage bag

It came with the gas mask
I ordered some time ago
Just for fun

I *******
Because women
Ignore me

Oh well

And why is earth
Such a bore

And maybe I'll go to the mountain

I'll just go to the gym
Again

Remember
Soon it will be
Every man for himself

To the globalist
You are just
A useless eater!
Matt Jul 2015
I have 80 followers
And I am following 80 poets

Oh my gosh
So cool
The number of followers
I have

Matches the number
Of poets I am following
Jul 2015 · 247
Poor
Matt Jul 2015
So is human life
Some type of computer

I wish I had
A different body type

Oh well
Better stop wishing
Can't change it

Earth is just
Some big computer

From the home
To the job site
Back to the home

But there is no
Job for me

At least there is golf
I can't play that much
Because I can't afford it

Money, money, money
I never have the money

Poor and poor again

In this economy
I just can't win
Jul 2015 · 218
No Money Again
Matt Jul 2015
I need money
And its not funny

There are some things
I would like to buy

I never have money
And I'm not sure why
Matt Jul 2015
An EMP attack
Perhaps a Cyber Attack
Or Nuclear attack

An economic collapse
Food rationing
Marshall Law

Who knows
What it will be
I have a feeling

There may be
Hard times
For you and me
Jul 2015 · 299
Poor
Matt Jul 2015
From the gym
To the hiking trails
To the driving range
To the golf course

This is my life
And I have no intention
Of trying to find a good "job"

There are none
That I can find

Content to be poor
Never able to leave
This home
Oh well

I just don't care

Hugs From My Fellow Poets
Matt Jul 2015
Won't you hug me?  

A hug from Elsa
Or Cecil
Or whoever it might be

I want hugs from
Fellow poets
On Hello Poetry
Matt Jul 2015
Remember your training!
Shouts the sergeant
Man those bugs are ugly

I am watching clips from Starship Troopers

And how heroic you are
Sergeant Sugar Watkins

You stayed and fought

To the bitter end

To save your friends

Artic Circle Is Melting
Matt Jul 2015
O I see
They want more money
And more power

And they don't care
Don't much care
About the earth

And the Arctic circle
Is meltingggggg

Global economies in debt

This planet is really ******* up

Woe, Woe, Woe
Matt Jul 2015
Woe, Woe Woe!

Woe to you
To those

With heads held high
Full of pride
So proud

You are rich you say
You have confidence
In America
And the American dollar

America can never fail

To those who have forgotten
Their fellow man
Who are cold and uncaring

Who delight in wickedness
Whose hearts are filled with hate

Woe Woe Woe
To this nation
This nation
That has aborted millions

This nation
That fights wars
Where it does not belong

Corrupt banksters
And politicians
Who serve the needs
Of the corporate elite

Repent, repent
Repent
On your knees and repent
If you are smart

I am a miserable sinner
And I repent
And so should we all

I pray that the Lord
Will destroy
This nation soon

The blood of the innocent cry out
The saints cry out, "How long must we wait, O Lord?

He is Merciful, and time has
Been given to repent

They have hardened their hearts
And delighted in wickedness
They have turned their backs
On you, oh Lord!

Repent while there is still time, please
Jul 2015 · 346
Lazy Person
Matt Jul 2015
A lazy person
Wastes her life
In front of the television

At the store
No matter what she did
It was never important

A lazy
Stupid person

That did not contribute
To society

I have to live
With this idiot

You are such
An idiot

Turn off the news!
Matt Jul 2015
Looks Like
I need the money again

Lol

Broke Broke
Broke as a joke

18 trillion dollars in debt
America's future
Doesn't look bright

John The Painter
Matt Jul 2015
John the painter
Stopped by today

A delightful asian man
I would say

He told me about a hike
He had just been on

I told him about Mt. Baldy
I hope he enjoys it there

He offered his hand
And I shook hands
With him

Try to Remember
Remember your fellow man
I do

They are mostly all
Just like you
Just trying to live
A good moral life
And make it through

And I try to show love
To people I meet

Whether in the marketplace
Or on the street

God bless you John my friend
Enjoy the mountains, as I do

Matt's "The Raven"
Matt Jul 2015
On the fifth tee
A raven spotted me

He walked right up
Near my ball
He was arrogantly
Standing tall

I tried to shoo him away
I had golf to play

And on the 7th hole
He was there again
To pester me
Much to my chagrin

Jesus is Lord
I pronounced to him

And with that proclamation
I poured that four foot put
Right in

A foul and hateful bird
Of ancient lore

Was this the bird
That Poe found rapping,
Rapping at his chamber door?

And on the eighth tee
There he was 20 yards
Up ahead
I could see

Perched upon a branch
Perhaps spying on me?

And near the clubhouse
As I rounded the bend
There he sat
Staring into the distance again
I don't think I have ever been more pleased with a poem.  I had a good laugh after I finished this one.   I hope you enjoy it.

Why Is He Like This?
Matt Jul 2015
He has lived in
That big home

By himself
And just the caretakers
For 15 years or so

He could have had some fun
If he would have rented
Out a room
You know

He could have enjoyed
The company of someone else

He could have rented out
A room
For an affordable fee

Companionship
With another person
Would have been healthy

But he'd rather sit
For hours and watch
Sports on t.v.

I don't think he ever
Really learned
That it is in giving
That we receive
Jul 2015 · 202
I Hope To Buy Some Things
Matt Jul 2015
I hope to buy a driving iron
And I hope one day
I have some steady money
To play golf
And buy some things

I hope to have a little money
To have a decent apartment

Maybe I'll be living at home
For a few more years

I can't seem to find a job
Lol

Trident Juncture 2015
Matt Jul 2015
36,000 NATO troops
Prepare for Trident Juncture 2015
What does it all mean?

So many of these military
Exercises these days it seems

I have a bad feeling
A difficult time may be coming

For the world
And for U.S.A.

No I don't things
Will continue to be okay

Gas Is So Expensive
Matt Jul 2015
Look at my little
2010 Honda LX run

But at $4.50 a gallon
I can't have too much fun

I can't drive
Here or there
Without a care

Because
Gas --Well
It just costs so much!
Matt Jul 2015
I was elected
As a representative
Of planet earth

To explain the human race
To life on other planets

I explained to them
That we destroy our environment
Begin wars

I explained to them
That the future
On earth does
Not look bright
At all

I also explained to them
That most of the world's people
Just try to get enough food
To make it through the day

They couldn't believe
How primitive we were
They laughed
And said

"Truly, as a race
There wasn't really
Much improvement
At all
In your whole history!"

I told them
I knew it was sad

The two basic problems
People had were
Were a lack of respect and love
For the planet we lived on
And for our fellow man
Inspired by Kelly A Vinal's "engage"

Michael's Single
Matt Jul 2015
In little league
Michael
Would always
Make an out

Sometimes

Teammates
Would mock Him
With loud shots

Now look at him
Digging In
A single to right field

He jumped up
And down on first base
With a grin

No matter how trying
How terrible
The times may be

Inspiring is the man
Who does not back
Down from his duty

Two Wonderful Quotes
Matt Jul 2015
I love powerful quotes.
Here are three I found
In Pamela Rae's profile

I found them to be
Quite true in my own life

“We are each of us angels with only one wing. We can only fly by embracing one another.” ~ Luciano de Crescenzo

“Darkness cannot drive out darkness: only light can do that. Hate cannot drive out hate: only love can do that.”― Martin Luther King, Jr.

“Leave the past behind,
Cast it out of mind,
Relish what you see
For it soon will shape,
who you aim to be.”—Joe Adomavicia

Thank You Nurses
Matt Jul 2015
To the nurses out there
Past and present
Who tended soldiers
With great care

You have my respect
And admiration to
For doing a job

I don't know if I
Would have the
Courage to do

Women are loving
Women are strong

They care for the wounded
All day long

My Hug Buddy
Matt Jul 2015
A message for Elsa
Please won't you be

Won't you be
My hug Bud-ee?

We can hug in the night
And during the day

We are loving friends
And its okay

If you have a boyfriend

We are just hugging anyway

We share a concern
For each other

And to show how
We love one another
In our special way

We love to hug
And this is okay

One hug
Two hugs
Three or Four

We care for
Each other
So much
Let's just hug some more

I'm so huggable
And so are you

Just look at what
These hugs can do

We are laughing
And smiling
Because hugs feel good

You should try hugging to
You really should

Elsa will you forever be
Forever be
My hug buddy?

Would you care
For a fruit bowl
Maybe a yogurt cup?

I'll make some good food
To fill you up

I'm thankful for
The loving comments
You write

And I'm not embarrassed
To say

I think of giving you a hug
When I squeeze my pillow
At night

A warm and caring person
Is what you are

And my how your
Eyes shine
Like the north star

I'm grateful
To have you
As a friend

You are my hug buddy

And my hugs
To you I send

Hello There
Matt Jul 2015
"Hello There"

I May say
If I were to meet
You on any day

What a strange man
I might seem to be

And maybe
I'll give it a try

To show you
Something reminiscent
Of the love
Jesus showed to me

I'm just a guy
With an akward shoulder
I like to lay about in parks

And sometimes
All too often
These dachshunds
Will make a loud bark
Jul 2015 · 409
A Bow
Matt Jul 2015
One must remain mysterious

If one does not trust enough
One will not be trusted

I extend some trust
But only the minimum
If people have shown
Themselves
To be trustworthy

And no
I do not want
To shake hands

Why do we always shake
Hands here in America?

A respectful bow will suffice

I Alone Am Dull
Matt Jul 2015
Why Must They Appear Bright?

Why must they have
Big flashy grins

These real estate agents
And other professionals

And why are they always smiling

Woman is looking
For a job
Smiling at her computer
On this site
I am looking at

You will see nothing
Except my dull
Plain
Emotionless face

I must hide
The Tao

Maybe I will smile
Now and then

But I will not
Allow it to be captured
By some camera

"Look Proud"
I was told
At my college graduation

The man of Tao
Wears plan clothes
And keeps the jewel
Hidden in his heart
Matt Jul 2015
I sit underneath
The shade
Of a Eucalyptus tree

Please Mr. Koala
Don't fall on me

So relaxing
And quiet
I feel a cool breeze

Ohhh goodness
Time to give my p**
A little tease

I stroke myself
With cocoa butter lotion
Up and down

Yes I am really
Going to town

I point my *******
At my own face

A big explosion
Yes I enjoy the taste!

Hehe

My Akward Shoulder
Matt Jul 2015
My akward shoulder
Goes with me

I tried to change
But no

Forever akward shoulder

But that's okay
Everyone's body
Ages anyway
