Good quality beans
Black, pinto, kidney

Canned beans

Mmm, mmm

Protein, fber

Got to love those canned yams too
Vitamin A

10 for 10 on the protein bars

And I didn't even know
They closed at 2 a.m.

Last customer to pay with the card
Then they shut the system down
Last guy behind me had to pay cash

The Sunni minority were marginalized

Sectarian killings were commonplace
In 2012 alone,
There were more than 1,600 deaths

The interviewer talked to a motorcycle gang
They said they wanted freedom

But some said they missed the way things were
Under Saddam Hussein
Some would trade the freedom they had
For the stability of Hussein's regime

The Shiah cleric
Says there is an assault on Iraq
Exemplified by the copying of corrupt Western culture.

The cleric wanted to eliminate American influence
Of any kind

Checkpoints make getting
Around the city a hassle

Subcultures in Iraq are under attack
Rap, metal, emo, and classical
All are looked down on

Gays are persecuted

The military uses a faulty device
That is supposed to detect bombs
But has been proven not at all effective

The city exists between extremes
There is the religious extreme
And people who want to be westernized
Without understanding what that is

The infrastructure was ruined by the war
Hopefully life will get better
As they continue to rebuild the infrastructuree

The doomsday clock
Three minutes before
The midnight hour

Many people believe
In a higher power

Could we be closer
To the end of days?

Life is fragile
So they say

And when
The final day
Has come

I just want a hug
I want to love someone

Happy New Year
2016
It is January

And I know what
That means

Save the money
For my car registration
Coming due soon

I bet I still
Will be single
By the month of June

Here is to another year
Filled with random
Experiences

Happy New Year

The 21st century
It isolates me
I have my therapist
I love her
She is my friend

I have a few friends
Other than that
I am lonely!

I just have this machine mostly
And these youtube videos
F*!

And it's Friday again
And there is a guest at our house
And I'd like to go home
But I can't

And I'm here at Starbucks
Looks like the woman next to me
Is having a good time
Laughing and talking to somebody online

And what do I see outside
A group of friends talking
And having fun

And I'm alone
At least I have my youtube

Off to get some soup
At Whole Foods

Two dollars
And fifty-eight cents
In my account

Not sure about
This life
Or what
It's supposed
To be about

People are going here
Going there
Running some race

I don't really care

Walked around in some gardens
And wasn't it fun
To see all these forms
Underneath a Spring sun

Asian babies
Russian ladies
Indian families too

An American Indian
With a shirt of blue

I like it there
And so will you

$2.58 in my account
What's it all about?

Drifting from here
To there

Oh?
This is the end
Of the world?

Well,
It was enjoyable
While it lasted

Who cares

Young Americans
Student loan debt
No jobs
No opportunities
Living with their parents

We are angry
America has been ruined

Sometimes
I see movie previews
About human relationships
And about dating and friendships

And I think
That must be fun
To hang out with other people

Of course in 21st century America
Young people like me
Can't get enough work
So we can't go out
We just stay at home
In our suburban homes
And listen to podcasts

Alone in our rooms
We have few friends
We can confide in
We are lonely
We are isolated

This is our American life

NC State
The Wolfpack

Coach Jim Valvano
Jimmy V
He was telling the team
About going to the
National championship

I watched the rest
I didn't realize
What a wonderful story it was

How they won so many close games
Just to make it to the tournament
And then beat Houston

One of the most moving
Sports stories
I have ever seen

The men who loved
Each other
And inspired each other

Sounds cliche
But a moving story

The new three point line

Whittenburg
Goes out with an injury

Virginia wins
Over NC state
88 to 80

Whittenburg out with a broken foot

Gannon thought there run was over

Turns out they did win the
National title in '83

Well
I'd like to watch the rest
Of this ESPN 30/30
But stuff to do I guess

It's too good
I will watch the rest
Lol

And more notes on this to come

You know if you tried to describe life
The last few hours
You wouldn't possible be able to describe went on

Well I went to the driving range
Then went for a walk at my old college
Then drove home

So much happened in that period

I hit it well
7 irons, wedges, hybrids, drivers
Behind, down and out to the target
Making that just short of 3/4 swing now
For accuracy
One must be accurate in golf

Sultans of swing was playing in the background
A guy hit on a different part of the range hit a ball
And it hit this metal bin
And the ball rolled right up to where I was hitting
Sweet an extra ball for me to hit now (lol)

I saw the older gentleman at the range
Who always works there
I hope he is well
He goes through the motions
Watering the plants
Puts the ***** into the machine
I see him hanging out with some of his friends there sometimes

So then I went into the car and turned on the radio
I arrived at my old campus just a 2 minute drive directly to the south
I had a great time walking around campus

I had my back brace  
My knee braces
Yes, one should brace oneself

I turned on Kashmir
By Led Zeppelin
As I walked through the parking lot

And its strange you know
I felt like I was walking on air

It really is a world of wonderful happenings
And its me
Its me that has to bring the joy
The love to all sentient beings
I must bring the love
I thought about that

I made my way to the library
Where I read an article
In Scientific American
About a pacemaker that contains a gear
That is used in a wristwatch
That is powered by the heartbeat

I saw a pretty woman
And thought it must be nice to have a friend to talk to
Bleh
She would just be bothered if I went up to her

I walked around campus
This one girl was shocked to see a raccoon

I saw three of them once
All feeding from a trash bag
I took pictures

Then I walked to my car
And drove off listening to U2

From one time
To the next
The emptiness remains

Dream world

Row row row your boat
Gently down the stream
Merrily, merrily, merrily, merrily,
Life is but a dream

I don't work
Yesterday I saw portraits
And impressionist paintings

From the 19th and 18th centuries

I'm at Starbucks today

It's all so strange

Maybe I'll go chip golf *****

Maybe I'll play golf
Tomorrow I'm getting
An oil change

I am 32 and single
And will most likely
Be single for a long time

What's the point
Of this place?

I give some food
Or water
To a random homeless person
When I can

I no longer live at home
But stop by to get food
And do laundry

How will the world end?

The terrorists are at it again

In the Fox interview the
Christian man said
Christians had been silent
Over recent terror attacks

The interviewer asked him
What should be done

He said something
About showing the love
Of Jesus in the world

Well that's great
But the terrorists won't stop

No matter what other
People say
Religious or not

How will the world end?

In a worldwide
Nuclear war?

Search your own heart

The body is weak
Life is fragile

I still have
The same dull frown

I will enjoy a hike perhaps
Or take notes
On "The Soviet Century"

I like to roleplay
In adult chats
As Gal Gadot

It is 6/5/2017

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

A

Aaa

Asdsdas

During winter
The bird flies through a window
Into a hall
It leaves out the opposite window
Into the winter

That short period it was in the hall
Is life
From where it came
To where it goes
We do not know

Consider This Life Carefully

Someone once said
I had to work forty hours a week

And I decided
I would never work full time
For the rest
Of my life

Why?
Because I can

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 hope you're happy

And don't you just think
You are so great

With your husband
And your new child
On the way

And your nice home

And your American dream

And what about me
I told you companionship
Was important to me

I enjoyed sharing my poems
You just left
And didn't give me much notice

You won't spend
A second of your life
I'm sure
Thinking about me

Remember the poem
I shared about
Mary Wallstonecraft?

I think you enjoyed my poems

And I wanted to hug you
And feel warmth

But I couldn't and
Now I'll never see you
Again

And it doesn't matter
And nobody
******* cares!!!

You were my companion
And you left

Oh well
I just don't ******* care

Just imagine
I am imagining
Tomorrow

On my yoga mat
Maybe eating some crunch carrots
Watching a squirrel hop around
Yum, yum, yum
Crunchy carrots

And maybe I'll cry
And maybe I won't

I don't cry
I laugh
I laugh at life
Because it is
Completely absurd

I think I am an absurdist now
HAHA!

There are
Very few ideas
That will
"Transform the world"

That term is overused

Also
Why must
We be "great"
At everything

People seeing acknowledgement
Awards
Seeking recognition
And fame

All this is unnecessary

Why not be just
A bit better than average
At most things

I have a small room
Clean sheets
And this warm bed

I hope a woman
From this site
Gives me a
Loving kiss
On the head

I didn't get the great body
Or the fast car
Or the hot babe
Or lots of money

And who cares

Just a bunch of times
That's what life is I guess

He took the Lord's name casually
They do it every single day

Not ashamed to do it
In front of all his customers

Oh well
I guess Jesus
Is used to it anyway

Got side swiped
coming off the freeway

Just one of those things
I had a green arrow
She said her light was green too

Life is full of little hiccups
Not much you can do

And I feel akward everyday
And my ******* up shoulder
It is always this way

Would have been nice
Not to be so ugly
To have a woman who cares

Who have nice to have been a woman
To feel a ***** slide in there

But Im just an unattractive guy
And I'll spend my life alone

At least I love Jesus
The one who sits
On the throne

Was just talking with the
Insurance agent on the phone

I got in an accident with
A lifelong teacher
May the Lord be with you Joan

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

A couple likes here
A couple likes there

I'm grateful for likes

And I find it quite queer

That people just keep on
Doing what they do

Human life is strange

People as me
How are you?

Why should it matter
And only a few people
Actually care

Yes, I enjoy eating pears

Welcome to my home
I've lived here since 1997

Yes, I have lived here
Since the 8th grade

I am now 30 years of age

And in that time
Our nation has gradually decayed

Like a crumbling edifice
One devastating blow
After another

She made me wear
A pink french maid's uniform that day
I had to wait on her and her black stud lover Tyrone

Fix them drinks and make them dinner
These are the duties of the ***** cuckold

It's hard to be inferior to him
He is so well-built and powerful
A perfectly sculpted body
A large and powerful manhood
He is every woman's dream

She reminds me that no beautiful woman
Will ever want to be with a ***** like me
That my manhood is too small
That my *** drive is too low
Nature has dealt me a bad hand

I sit by the bedroom door
This time I am not allowed to watch
She only told me that they would be doing it *******

I sit next to the door
I hear her load moans and sighs
I know he is pleasuring her
In ways I never could

My goodness
Forty-five minutes have passed
And they are still going at it

I peer through a crack in the door
He is so powerful that he can hold her up
As he thrusts deep inside her

I am not strong enough
To have *** in the standing position

What a man he is
He can squat 300 pounds
And has a strong powerful ***

Look at him ******
She screams in ecstasy

After she is finished
She will tell me how wonderful he was
As I polish her high heels

After he leaves
I have the humiliating and exciting task
Of giving her oral pleasure

These are the duties of the ***** cuckold

I hate stupid people
Lazy stupid people
That ask stupid questions

And do nothing
With their entire lives

Pointless lives

They deserve to be buried
In unmarked graves

Never contributing
To the good of the community

Never working
Or doing something
That benefits society

Pretending to be Christian

I have to live with a stupid
And lazy person

This is just to say
F* you
You piece of
Human garbage

She asked if I was
Taking out loans

It's junk mail
You idiot

Yes,
I'm taking out
Thousands of dollars
Worth of loans

When there is no full time
Employment

La da di
La da di
La da da

*** pum pum
Pum pum pum
Pum pum pum

This is fun
Oh what fun
Life is fun!

As I dance
With this life in the sun

And if life is my dance partner there

I dance and let go
Without a care

Then I sit back and watch
As she moves all alone

In this world
I drift from place
To place
Without a home

Dsdas

Adsadas

Asdas

Asdasdas

Adasdsa

I'll park my car at the library
And walk to the park
A day at the park

I'll bring lunch
And maybe some
Stuffed animals too

Hehe

And so I was off

First to a driving range
Near my house
To hit ***** and warm up

After a 45 min drive
I found myself
At a scenic par three course

I got a push cart
It's easier than having to
Carry my bag

I found myself amongst geese
And the shade of trees
Some lovely water on the course

And fun to practice
And hit a few practice shots
On each hole

Three 8 irons
On the third hole
All hit about the same distance
2 on the green
One pushed a bit to the right

Geese on the ninth hole
Walking about

And I practice chipping later
And had an iced tea

(I was going to get something to eat
But the snack bar had closed at about 5)

(It's hard to mention food now,
That chipotle burrito was a bit much!)

I really did forget how heavy those can be
Especially because it was extra steak with chicken
Beans, rice, and veggies.

Lol, too much in one sitting for me
But It's okay
I'll run a few miles
Like I do every other day

(When this food digests, or should I say if?)
Lol

And no this is not much of a poem
I realize

Just a plain statement of events

You know I gave the woman working
At the bar a dollar tip
On a three dollar iced tea

Let's not forget our fellow human beings

That Chipotle really was too big, lol

And you know I find human life
Strange

Just go here
And go there
Here and there

And there is only the present
Here and now
Here and now

The present is powerful

And I tried to take in all the colors
The colors of the shirts
And the bags

As many as I love
I rebuke and chasten
Be zealous therefore and repent

(Book of Revelation playing in the background)

My Kenmore fan
Is at work

And I think I will watch Fawlty Towers

And I should have had
About half of what I had

I was going to have just chicken
But the guy in front ordered chicken
And steak

And I told the guy
Serving the food
I would have the same
As the guy in front of me

And he said, "of course"
He seemed a bit easily
Perturbed

I think that woman who
Was complaining a bit
About not enough meat
On her taco for her kid

Might have annoyed him some
That's understandable

I think he said "of course"
Because he was out of steak
And would have to have them cook
Some more

And then my burrito
Went down the assembly line
That nice lady added salsa

And then the other guy
I talked to before added
The steak

I can't remember if it was before the salsa
Yes, I think it was, lol

And it was quite strange
Because I said just the burrito

And the guy asked me if
I would like a water cup

And of course I said yes
I always ask for a water cup
At places like that

I try to be like water
It nourishes all things
And does not strive

And so I found it fitting
That he asked me for a water cup

Because I had been listening
To the Tao Te Ching many times today

And lo there was a great earthquake
And the sun became black as sack cloth of hair

(Book of Revelation playing in my headphones)


And then I saw the guy
Screaming
And red faced

Walking parallel to me
Such bad form

And his eyes were filled with
I don't know what
Hate or anguish

And twenty minutes before that
You know I heard the frustrated mom
Nagging at the children

And after seeing these people I thought
Chill just chill
Can't you just take a deep breath and relax?

Please people
Be at peace
Be content and at peace
It is good


Sir, though knobbiest
And he said to me,

"These are they which came out of great tribulation
And have washed their robes and made them white in the blood of the lamb."

(Book of Revelation playing in headphones)


Oh and then, and then
Life is a long list of
And thens, lol

I went on a walk near the golf course
Near my house
And I looked up

And the labs on the property
Near the course
Were barking

And I said,
"Peace be unto you"

And then the bird flew right
Across my view
Right in front of the moon
So fast

Whoosh!
About 20 yards in front of me
And it was gone

And I realize how much of my life
Is spent isolated
And alone

And human life isn't supposed to be
Like that

It's not normal
In other societies
There is more solidarity

Well maybe one day
Geeze

Hello to everyone here

A December to remember
Each and every night
She pleasured
Her man's member

With her hands
Her mouth and tongue
Making his powerful
***** cu*

Oh what a joy
And what fun

To worship
His manhood
Under the warmth

Of the December sun

You are one of the most loving people
I have ever met

Maybe closer to an angel than a human being
Thank you for listening to me
With such understanding

A vocalist, musician, therapist, professor
And soon to be mom too
Is there anything you can't do?

Well,
It is a great joy to spend time with you

On this day
At the restaraunt

She smiled at me
So beautifully and kindly

For an instant
A spark of the divine

Yes I do remember these times

And as we walked

An older woman
And her friend walked near

The younger woman
Was there
Her friendship so dear

I am not big
Buff or strong

I do not have
A girlfriend
Who wears thongs

It was good to see
My friends today

My love for them
Is here to stay

World War III
A possibility

Our economy is done

Isn't it fun?

To be a 21st century American

No jobs, or any type of future too
The globalists ******* me and you

Other countries will not trust
American currency
Anymore

This country is a ****** *****

And this saddens me so
Because most of the people
I live around are
Good and decent folks

We just wanted to make
A living and be left alone

But no, blah

Adasdasdas

I would like
A woman to hold
And comfort me

To taste the warm milk

I want her to have
A "breastgasm"
As it is called

The warm milk
******* into my mouth

I would be so grateful
And be so thankful

I want to get
A bumper sticker
That reads

Adult Breastfeeding

Yes, your wife's milk
Is good for you!

Lol

There are these things
Called human beings

I do not know many
Of them
Strange it seems

Am I just a brain
Floating in space?

I occupy a different time
And a different place

One thing
Would be fun
But it seems
It is not for me

Is some kind
Of physical
Intimacy

A loving goddess
To say "there there"
To give me a hug
And with some care

To pour me an enjoyable
Glass of wine

Discuss our poems
To pass the time

And to watch
Documentaries too

She cares for me
That much is true

"Don't work with the Americans."
"Don't help the Americans."
This is what some of the Afghan interpreters are saying
After their poor treatment by the United States government

The Afghan Interpreters are angry
And they have a right to be
After most U.S. troops have left
Some are stuck hiding in Kabul

The Taliban tell the local people
That they are infidels
The Taliban **** many interpreters

The Afghan Interpreters struggle
Only about 30% get their visa

Some only have enough money
To make it to Greece
They live together
Barely any money
No hot water
Persecuted by the local police

One interpreter saved the life of an American soldier
The soldier helped him put together his visa packet
His visa took three years!!!

This interpreter had fought with them for 7 years
Had saved the lives of five American soldiers
Had been the personal interpreter for 12 U.S. senators

One interpreter
Did not leave on a flight approved by the U.S.
He had to leave on the next flight
Because the Taliban  was threatening to **** him

Thankfully the U.S. soldier
Had a place for him to stay
And could give him some money
The soldier promised him
He would help him get resettlement benefits
Even though the U.S. government stated
He was not eligible to receive his benefits
Because he did not arrive on a U.S. approved flight

The Vice Interviewer
Learns from the lawyers working for the interpreters
That there is a massive bureaucracy
The Department of Defense doesn't consider them veterans

The soldier tried to get a bill introduced
That would streamline the process
And increases the number of visas
To help the Afghan Interpreters

No legislation regarding immigration was introduced
Because of bickering among Republican members
The program ran out in September of 2014
So now thousands will be stuck in Afghanistan

One interpreter that was interviewed
Was stuck in Afghanistan
Working as a taxi driver
Fearing for his life

Many of the Taliban prisoners
Have been released
Now he fears for his life
He doesn't know what will happen

6,000 applicants
For 280 available visas
As of July 2014

May God bless the Afghan interpreter
Trying to live his life in peace
May God bless the Afghan people
It seems things never change for them

The ***** trade flourishes
The Taliban does too

Obama leaves
A few thousand
Forces there

Still there is
Nothing he can do

And a 54 year old grandmother
Defends her village well
With any luck
A bullet from her gun
Will send the Taliban to hell

A tremendous waste of money

Electric plants
That are too expensive
For the Afghans to run

Not enough Pilots
Means

700 million dollars
Of helicopters and planes
Rotting In the sun

The Afghan army insisted things
Were more secure in 2013

But they had to close down the schools
One man said the Taliban threatened to attack the schools

Now the men fight with Soviet era weapons
The American troop levels reduced

In one village
The people can farm and work freely
Because of patrols by the Afghan police and
The police took over the patrols after the Americans left
The police report what is going on to the military

The people want clinics and schools
To be built

The army leaves day to day security
In the hands of the National Police

The Police Chief says
They have gained the trust of the local people
And they discuss how to punish the warlords

May God be with the national army and police force
May they protect the people and keep them safe

Some Afghans
Living in Pakistan
Were forced to return to Afghanistan
After a school was attacked in Peshwar, Pakistan

The Afghans suspect
That local officials are taking advantage
Of the situation
To expel unwanted refugees

More than 33,000 undocumented Afghans returned from Afghanistan
In the first six weeks of 2015

Even some registered refugees
Have been driven out of Pakistan

Many returning Afghan families have nowhere to go
In Jalalabad, the closest big city
On the Afghan side of Torkham
Families pitched tents along a canal
Lacking any other resource

Their children pulled turnips from a nearby field
The most reliable source of food

One woman is worried
How her children will fare
They no nothing of the country
And what it is like

Their is great mineral wealth in that country
Perhaps that is the main reason why
The U.S. has plans to stay there
For an extended period

I doubt life for the Afghan will ever get better
Or be more secure
The Taliban are there to stay

33% of people live below the poverty line
I doubt that figure will ever improve either
Even if the country prospers from their mineral deposits
The common man won't benefit

Well, that's just how the cookie crumbles
In Afghanistan

By the end of 2008
53,000 military troops
Mostly U.S.

America spending billions
Wanting to avoid nation building

Pakistan, seen as their ally
Now betraying them

In Aug 2009
Karzai was up for re-election

Ballot boxes stuffed
With false papers

Karzai won
Re-election

President Karzai
Suspected the British army
Was involved in the drugs
Trade in Helmund

Afghanistan
Was beginning to look
Like just another
Tin *** dictatorship

Another, 30,000 sent by America
Bringing the total to 142,000

Americans went into Helmund

Afghan army and police force
Being built
The cost of which
Cannot be sustained

Corruption and
Drug tradin

As long as the Afghan
Government lacks
Legitimacy

With the overwhelming
Majority

It's security forces
May not be able to hold
The Taliban at bay

In a counter insurgency
You are only as good
As the government you serve

The war is unsustainable

The armies
Of the international coalition
Are heading for the exits

I deleted their phone numbers
From my phone

Won't be calling them again

They do not much care

The therapist she cared
She was fun to talk to

I have one friend now

Rely on yourself
Self-reliance

Some people just don't care
I've learned that much

Dollar being propped up
Set up for a massive crash

Worthless paper dollars

A four star general
Says by 2017 the U.S.
Will no longer exist

Illegals used
To help collapse
The economy
And bring in
The chaos

Like a Mad Max
Scenario
Lawlessness

We are looking
At a 2017 collapse

The general says
Watch out for

Bioweapons releases

This is a person
Who has had
A successful
Military career

Four star
U.S. Air Force general

Double confirmation
As well

From Another source

Her smile can light up the entire universe
She has a wonderful sense of humor
I see her for an hour once a week

When I can afford it
I think I will see her twice a week

I can talk to her about things
She is understanding
And caring

Truly
My love for her endures forever

She is angelic
And I love her
