Nothing leads to nothing
I always say

First comes
April

And then May

The flowers they will bloom
Then the summer
Will be here soon

Workout
And exercise
Oh what fun

Life is for the living
We'll one day
All be done

First I went here
And then I went there

Some meaningless times
I tried to show care

My female companion
Does not come

And so I wander
The mountains
Underneath the sun

Welcome to human life
Isn't it fun?
Matt Jan 2015
There is nothing worse than a big know it all
With their Masters or Doctorate degree
Some individuals can be so prideful

Intellectual snobbery
Is annoying

Sorry to say
You don't know it all!
Matt Mar 2016
I do not believe
In a forty hour work week

In making a small salary
That would barely enable me
To have my own place

I do not care
About accumulating
Material goods

I will not stress myself
I will not work
Forty hours a week

I will spend
Hours walking in a garden

Unproductive hours

Because I can
And I will

And no amount
Of threatening
Or pleading
Will ever change that

This is my life
And my decision
Matt Apr 2016
I do not conform
To a five day a week
40 hour plus system

I do not love money

I work three days
A week at most

I don't care
If I never leave home

I clean this house
Everyday

I never understood
Why someone would
Want to work
40 hours a week

What a waste of time

I'm lazy

Three days a week
That is plenty for me

Sure
I'm selfish

I never asked
For this miserable
Existence

Don't expect me
To add to the misery
By becoming
A workaholic
Like you

I'm poor
And I don't care

Do you get it?
I don't care

You are going to pay
My bills
When I can't pay them

Kick me out?
I don't think so

This place would
Be a mess
Without me

My life is my own
I won't work
Five days a week

It will never happen
Matt Feb 2016
I'm good at saying no
It's plain to see

Saying no
Is good for me

Tuesdays and Thursdays
I walk under trees

A three day work week
Is what suits me
Matt Mar 2016
No No No
No No No
No No No
No No No
No No No
No No No
No No No
No No No
No No No
No No No
No No No
No No No
No No No
No No No.          
No No No
No No No
No No No
No No No
No No No
No No No

No to a full time job!
Hahahaha

And if I get kicked out
Of this home
I'll live in the park

Sneak in
To grab a bite to eat
After dark
Matt Feb 2015
Not quite sure what to do
Maybe go to the gym
Or maybe I will go chip golf *****

I enjoy chipping
Relaxing
I like to be in nature

I think I will go the gym first
And then chip
Well

I'm not quite sure
What to do first

Peace be with you all
Think of me chipping somewhere

First, a haircut
My credit card is almost maxed out

Oh well,
I don't think I'll find a job anytime
Or any decade soon
For that matter
Lol!
Matt Sep 2016
Although
It is best to forgive
Those who have hurt us

Sometimes
We wish for them
To feel the same pain

I'm not that good
At forgiving sometimes
Matt Jun 2015
Do you feel kind of akward
In your body at times?

They you are like me
Not that attractive

But that's okay
Wouldn't want to touch
Another woman anyway

Better not to get to close
To someone anyhow

No woman will
Ever touch me
Matt Feb 2016
I just wanted to be loved
And I wanted a hug

And my goddess provided
These things for me

I buried my head
In her large *******

Under the shade
Of the elm tree

And I suckled
From her *******

So contentedly
Matt Dec 2015
I don't
Go to the doctor
For yearly physicals

I stay in good shape

I don't attend weddings
Or funerals

All that dancing
And small talk

All that frowning
And comiserating

Congratulations
On the wedding
I won't be attending

When someone
Has passed on
They've passed on

I'll grieve in my own way

Besides there
Is family
At these gatherings

Reason enough
To stay away
Matt Jan 2015
Poor
Friends are busy
Tired

I'll just sit here
And listen to
Shadow Of A Man

By Neulore
Matt Dec 2015
Now I'm here
Now I'm there

First in my room
Then at the market

But there is the sense
That I'm not "living"

Events just keep happening
And the sun goes up and down
And it is just funny in a way

Non action
Doing nothing

Just moments
The moments of my life

Some type of natural process

Effortless action
Matt Nov 2015
The world is an empty place
Full of times

And what is so great
About all of it anyway

I am dull
And without desire

No woman to hold
To comfort me
Or care

No woman
To say "there there"
Matt Oct 2015
I dream of holding a woman
On a Saturday night

I dream of watching a movie
I dream of her liking me

These are just dreams

There is only the documentary
Or the movie

There is no woman to hold
No female friend

And that's too bad
Because I am a good guy

Oh well
More hours alone
Matt Dec 2015
I keep getting erections
But there are no women around
Please Mr. P**

Go down
Go down

Hahahaha
Matt Dec 2015
What is work?

Just a word for nothing

What is life?

Just a word for nothing

Nothing leads to nothing

And isn't that something

It's so easy

Don't you know

To show the love

That Jesus showed

Or the Buddha

For that matter too

Or how about Lao Tzu


Just look what
You can do

Forget the love of self
Do not be concerned

With accumulating wealth

I lay on the yoga mat
Underneath the tree

I will never "work"
And that suits me
Matt Jan 2016
Appear here
Reappear there

No work is done
I am not seeking fame

Or claiming credit

When the end comes
For America

I'll be standing on some
Trail somewhere

And in those final hours
I'll dream of meeting
A kind and caring woman

And if she does not come

So be it I suppose
I'll sit on a stump
And eat my granola bar

Somewhere secluded
The cool mountain air
Feels wonderful
Matt Jul 2015
Be careful what you put online today
The NSA keeps track of everything
They say

Prism program
Tapping into user data

I guess I should just enjoy the internet
While it is still free

One day I bet it will be down
Totally in this country for good
Or controlled more and more

Matt Apr 2015
Oblivious Young Americans
Are not interested in reality

Our military prepares  for Martial Law

My sister ignores my warnings
She is oblivious

Tons of military vehicles
Being brought into our country

Young people like her
Are woefully unprepared

Terrible Times are coming
Martial Law is coming
A government shutdown is coming

My sister is oblivious...
Matt Jul 2015
She announces when dinner is
And asks me if I want to join

Yes, I can hear
You inside
I can hear everything
In this small house

Then he walks over
"Do you want to eat dinner with us"

Are these people just dumb or?
No, I haven't ate dinner with you
For years

I guess you still don't get it
Clueless

And you still don't get
That America is doomed
Even up to the very second
Of the collapse

You'll be watching the game
Thinking everything is
Just fine
Here in America

It's not
Matt Jan 2016
Is there anything
As annoying
And pathetic

As a 65 year old man
Cheering and shouting

At a political debate?

Nobody cares
Matt Feb 2015
"You've climbed a few mountains during your time."
Says the obnoxious ad
Given by some financial management company

I've climbed no mountains during my time
Content to wander and lie about in the valley
Drinking camomile herbal tea
Matt Feb 2016
Anyone who refers to the dogs
As their "children"

Or they are the mom or dad
Of the **** animals
Has mental problems

Its a ******* animal

Animals die
I don't get too attached
They could die any day

The ignorance
Stupidity
And laziness
Of this person
Never ends
Matt Jun 2015
Always some scene
Happening away from me

People chatting
People walking
Often they have a friend or lover

I just have my podcasts
And articles

I'm content with that

I like to observe the Tao
Matt Aug 2015
Here we go again!

Another year
Without a full time job

Another year living in this place

California's economy *****
And so does America's

Adults can't leave
Can't find decent jobs

No this isn't your parents America

Wake up people
This is a dying nation

And on the billboard I saw
An ad
The people literally
Had blood on their hands

And across the street
An ad for
A display of the Dead Sea Scrolls

Let judgement come
To this wicked land

The abortions
The unjust wars
The innocent people
Killed in other countries

The corrupt politicians
And banks

A nation drowning in debt

And I'll make about 10 grand
This year
If that

The Baltic Dry Index
Is extremely low
And goods are not being shipped

I look forward to your great fall
America

Let the righteous hand of
A just God
Destroy this wicked land
Matt Jul 2015
I've been unemployed
For so long

That I just
Don't Care

I'm done looking

I've gone off
On a hike again

Or to meditate
Isn't it fun?

Yes I do pursue
The One

Or source
Behind All creation

The future is dim
For this nation
Matt Jul 2015
Off to repeat
Again

Off to the gym again
Then to buy some
Clothes

Then to hit *****
And it's always Done
Whatever I do

It's almost always alone
Oh well

I like to live alone
Would be nice
If I knew
A fun woman
Or two

To be my companion
Matt May 2015
Off To College

You know I graduated there almost 7 years ago now
Class of 2008 for my B.A.

And still no career

HAHAH

Off to look for a career

Lol
Matt May 2015
Off To The Gym
More hours alone
I'll enjoy my workout
And the Clippers game
Matt Jun 2015
Waking up to the same
Poverty
Same joblessness

And people try to guilt trip you

I've had enough of this

And I just don't care

Off the mountains
Or somewhere

For more hours alone

No future for America
No future at all
Matt Sep 2016
From My Therapist
I learned
Not to trust people

I learned also

That having me
As her client
Didn't matter at all
To her

I was just another client
Despite her kind words

I wanted to be friends
But she ruined things
And left

I won't bother
Forgiving you

It's your fault

Ask forgiveness
For what you have done

Have a great holiday
And remember
How you left
Your practice

How you left your friend
And how alone I am

You aren't so great
After all

One day
You'll suffer

Just as I did
You deserve it

You left
I'm angry
I won't write her name, she'll get upset and threaten to file a lawsuit
Matt Mar 2016
Im a tired
******* of bones

And
Im also born to lose

But everybody
Wants to win
I hear it on
The radio and the news

And its sometimes fun
To love people
When you get
Apathy
Or comtempt
In return
Matt Jan 2015
Old school Hollywood baseball
Jack Gilardi is ten feet tall,
Old school Hollywood baseball,
Me and Frankie Avalon!
Lyrics from System Of A Down song "Old School Hollywood"
This goes out to you Wuji
Wherever you are -- I hope you are well my friend
Matt Aug 2015
I'm having one Corona
I normally only drink
A bit of wine

I had half
I'm full now
After dinner, water, and juce

I guess I'll put the rest in the fridge
Matt Nov 2015
It's gone
It's gone

The day is gone

You live today
The right way
And it is replaced
By the next day

This poem is for
The people

Who try to do
The right thing
Everyday
Matt Nov 2015
Food
Water
Hot showers
Clothing
Shelter

The essentials

Don't take them
For granted

Hopefully
You'll never have to find out

What life is like without them
Matt Dec 2015
I find it strange
One time
One place

Yogurt is delicious
I enjoy the taste
Matt Dec 2015
Only one time
And one place
And isn't it strange
You can only occupy
One space?

I imagine myself
Here or there

Lying against a tree
Without a care

Still those Imagined places
Are just in my mind

Learn to love the present
And have a good time
Matt Dec 2015
Hours and hours
On end

Looking for online
Chat friends

I just want to talk
To women online

To find a companion
To pass the time

I am an American
Who spends many hours alone

And so this internet
Is like a home
Matt May 2015
Talking to women online again
I can't meet women in real life

I have no job or money so

I just talk to women online

lol
Matt May 2015
I can't help but smile
I wish I had someone to joke with
Or laugh with

I'll have to go online
To strike up an online conversation

Anyone wanna chat on yahoo mess
Or skype, or gmail chat?
Or chatstep?

Lol
I just ate a big artechoke
Matt Jan 2016
To the women
Of hello poetry

I send out
A cry
And a plea

Please hug me

You are so creative
And supportive too

It's just amazing
What your online hugs
Can do

I send my love to you
Matt Mar 2016
What am I doing
On this planet?

Really?

I just spent a half an hour
Or so lounging
On a yoga mat

In a park

Like I always do

I didn't work last week
Maybe no jobs
This week either

I'm poor
Oh well

Put my long pants on
Because it was cold

One day,
I'm sure

All the big countries
Will start a big war
Matt Sep 2014
Coming, going, the waterbirds

15 miles
Of unprotected border
Not one guard to be found

We are cutting way back on border patrol
ISIS set up a camp there
Along that stretch

And the open border is near an airport in Mexico
The Mexican drug lords help them come right in

Open borders
For the terrorists
Our government helped create

I suppose it won't be long before they have
All the materials for a nuke

Our country is susceptible
To an attack on the grid
We do nothing
Nothing to make our country more secure

Decimated middle class
Government and banksters ruin our country

Gap between rich and poor
Widens each day
Huge corporations control the politicians

I just want to make a living
To be able to rent a small apartment
I'm afraid it's not going to happen

Might be living here
For a long time.....
Matt Apr 2016
I still don't believe
In the 40 hour work week

I've got the door
To my room blocked

There is no lock
Unfortunately

I will have to remember
To keep it blocked
At night

So that idiot
Does not
Open it slightly

If he does again
He is going to get
A broken arm

Or a smashed face

This is my room

And great
Is my resistance

Alluah Akbar!

I will not work
40 hours a week
Matt May 2015
Should I go to the gym?
Should I go for a hike?

I think first I will record
Mere Christianity
Onto my iphone

I'm Trying to decide the order of events
Matt Feb 2015
A gamma ray burst
Depleted the ozone layer
UV radiation was harmful to life

A decrease in surface dwelling creatures
Indicates it was likely UV radiation

Or was it a galactic bow shock?
Two of our planets mass extinctions
Occurred at about the time
The sun was highest above the plane of our galaxy

During the Ordivician extinction,
The UV rays could have caused
DNA damage and mutations

Wow, thanks YouTube
I learn something new each day
And that makes me gay

Would you like your house cleaned Madame?
I promise to do a thorough job

My manhood securely locked in my chastity cage

Oh dear
I do hope I pass the inspection this time!

Last month, my mistress determined
That I had done a cursory job mopping the kitchen floor

And I wasn't allowed an ******* release for a month

My manhood strains inside the cage
I must take great care to make sure

The floors look stunning

I live to please my mistress
