Open, honest, raw. Jolly to be spread, music in head's of children in cement halls.
Beer drinkers will brawl, puke will fill cold stalls.
Christmas season comes, some make it a joke. Some light cigarettes, some make recompense, some kiss under the mistletoe, some lights will shine, while the season of the divine comes and goes, as in this coming season means a new season. For me of rock n roll.

In hard times, I used to forget myself ;
Caring became my escape from reality.
They weren't here for me, so I became their remedy,
The anchor, the one thing I wanted for oneself.

Now that hard times are finally behind me,
They don't need the anchor anymore.
Too content, I'm not what they look for
Maybe because I'm not available like I used to be...

And I still wet my eyes for manipulative people
Because I grieve my so-called friends and the old me.
I accept, again, that I've been used by somebody.
My heart aches, again, ashamed of having been feeble.

a delighted squeal floated up through the pollution
as tiny miss insignificant
realized her own self-worth
without me there are no new babies
no motherly love
no P, B, and J
with the crusts cut off –
Every man in the land
would near cut off his hand
for the chance to participate
in love
with me…
no ego involved
only the simple understanding
men are pigs
led by *****
without conscious –
it will be the mothers of the world
that embrace the hate
smother it in cookie dough
wrap it in angora swaddling
and change this planet for the better
and no,
this isn’t so I can get laid –
Women hold empathy
that is like a foreign language
to most men
as we, as a group,
look at ***** and blow **** up
while trying to get blown
we show no care for the poor
the sick and infirm
those with less than ourselves
…of course there are exceptions
as with every wannabe steadfast ruling
but on the whole
and in general
not only are we pigs
but inconsiderate ones at that –
how long will inequality be allowed
how many rapes must you endure
how many loveless marriages
complete with an occasional *** whooping
must you of the fairer ***
live through
before you stand up
and take the reigns
as they only sit, idle
waiting to be taken
as it is fairly obvious to me
that no one is really driving
this ship –

icy winter on the afternoon breeze
gives pause so the sun can lie
and encourage children out of doors
only to kick up vengefully
chapping lips and watering eyes
while simultaneously giving cheeks
a rosy glow –
frosted lawn greets the day
altered dew rests glisteningly
subdued bird song breaks the silence
and my own breathe distorts the image
exhaling clouds
liquid vapors instantly freeze
and fall to the cold ground below –
slapping mitted hands together
and piling up six pieces of fir and elm
I return to the safely of my enclave
arrange the sticks in a 1956 potbelly
and light the match
which will combat
the change in seasons –

When I think too much I become a poet.
I imagine
I am an abstract art of my inner thoughts  for display on the web with open interpretations to judge.

When I was growing up
Teachers would tell me how I had bad grammar.
I imagine
They were stubborn artists that was too obsessed with traditional art.
But I was too abstract for them to understand  with my cavemen writing .

But in poetry.
I imagine
I can be anything.
This was continuing my thoughts after 'conversation '

If you have it all......
Remember, you could lose it all....

If you think you have your **** together....
It could easily wither away....

To learn to be happy.....
You first must be sad to know the real meaning....

Is heartache really about Love or selfishness....

Heartache goes away,
but selfishness does not...

When does one change their ways.....
When does one accept reality.....

When does one quite putting them self first.....

I have learned in life the more I help others....
The easier things come to me in life....

Have you ever bought a hungry family groceries...
Have you ever put gas in a persons car who has no money.....
Have you ever tried to guide our youth.....
Have you ever actually helped the homeless.....
Have you ever let someone cry on your shoulder....

Life is not about one,
It's about many.....

Oh, those that know the truth has done it.
Don't even regret it.

Some has manipulated to get ahead.
Some has slept their way to the top.
Some has used their looks to their benefit.

And don't regret it.

Oh, we know this
