At home in my lair
No one telling me I can't sit in my underwear
I can't really sit around naked
People driving by my picture window might think I'm bake-ed
It's so far been a long road this journey of life
I find myself now just enjoying the wildlife
I have a home and that's enough for me
I can pay my bills and feed myself without having to plea
At one point I was inches away from a cardboard box
And even did my turn behind imposed locks
I guess I surfed this life like a wave of sampling
But now need to rest like a little campling
I now see the world through a piped portal
All the people on the internet trying to avoid being mortal
So I reflect and write poems for the mass
But I know poetry is an art that is lost in the morass
I will continue to reflect like a one way mirror
Do my part in my own way to make things clearer
Observing and reflecting life as I see it
Trying to impart my own wisdom and wit
It's time for me to just sit and be
Although after such an adventure it's hard for me
I know that whatever happens will be alright
Cause I'm valley bound from my dizzying height
The creator does not measure your mind or your health
It does not care about your status, position or wealth
It does not really care about what you do
As long as to your self you are true
You can be "Bad" and not "Good"
Live your entire life in the hood
If you live your life breaking all of the laws
You will need to acknowledge your flaws
Some of us are severely hampered
Certainly living lives where we are not pampered
We all have our personal journey
And in the end we are all our own attorney
Some of us color within the lines
And others revel outside the confines
Being kind is non judgment
Because we've all been there to our own lament
Being understanding has it's own pitfalls
Some people have not yet hit the walls
The best we can do is be a willow or a blade of grass
Be rooted in the ground while the winds pass
Honestly I'm just sitting here finding the light at the end of the tunnel
With my head up my *

LOL
The world on my screen and the environment out my door
I'm growing tired of one and only want one anymore
The environment out my door is beautiful and peaceful
World on my screen is just crazy and distasteful
Much as I'm drawn to looking at my screen
I'd rather draw my awareness to my environment so clean
The world right now is just so messed
But where I am is just so blessed
I find myself outside of city life
In a tiny village full of bird life
I've lived in cities before and know what they are like
They are not for me and make my soul go on strike
Constantly rubbing elbows with the masses
Everyday immersed in a stifling morasses
Yet somehow the internet pipes it all to me
In my safe little haven where I'm learning to be
So I'll live in my haven safe and blessed viewing it all
And remind myself everyday to be grateful I don't live in the pall
I was sitting on my front deck and had a laugh at myself
Envisioning my faults and being honest between the creator and I
I had to admit I can be a fool, stubborn, impish and egotistical in my own mind
Thankfully not all of them all at once
But it was a lighthearted moment between the creator and I
And I envisioned the creator having a laugh at the part that I play
In fact I envision all of those on the other side
Laughing they're ***** off at who I am and what I've done
Much as I might like to think I know I'm not perfect
Getting egg on your face is part of the show
I really feel that this life is a game that our souls play
They come to forget most of they're wisdom and experience
Basically start from scratch and see how well they do
With a limited amount and set of variables
I guess I'm learning to listen to and follow my heart
Not lean so heavily on my mind and thoughts
I'm learning how easily the mind can lead you astray
Make your heart weary when it just came to play
But I think at this age and point in my life
I've sorted a lot out and am mostly done with the strife
Although I know they are all having a good laugh on the other side
I think the ones that know me are proud and love me for what I have done
I've endured a lot done some good and done some harm
Lived my life like surfing a wave
Never had a plan or direction to go
Just seized what came and went with the flow
Somehow I landed on my feet
So while I can be a fool, stubborn, impish and egotistical
I'm really just an acrobat
Positive energy negative energy
Good feelings bad feelings
Each in turn is felt and fed on
Sometimes I think Earth is just a farm
Duality plays out on it's stage
One part feeds the positive farmers
The other feeds the negative farmers
We the contained animals create the food
We play our chosen part in the world
Creating the energy for the farmers to feed on
Good or bad doesn't matter
It's all just food for the farmers
Mostly the animals don't know they are on a farm
They don't mind the fences that contain them
They are not in the wild
Making they're own way
Do the animals grow and evolve
Ever break free of the farm
Does the farm ever go out of business
Do Vegan protesters ever come and free all the animals
It's just a thought and maybe it's not a Loosh Farm
When you start to look at your life as a thing
That your soul has crafted to bring
With it's hardships, trials, joy and sorrow
And unknown events of the morrow
A certain journey and series of emotions
Set of experiences as vast as oceans
All designed to expand your depth of understanding
Increasing your capacity for commanding
Your soul has done this because it craves
Experience and so it asks you to brave
This up and down and often confusing
Topsy turvy and sometimes unamusing
Giant ball of emotion and feeling
Losing your way and reeling
Sometimes filling your mind with worry and dread
Where you'll live and find a bed
In this world of triumph and tribulation
Your soul has come to find exaltation
And so whether up or down
When your smiling or wearing a frown
Your soul has come with great conviction
A good amount of predilection
To learn from this space
To teach itself to operate in grace
I went to hell once looking to save a friend
I thought for sure I wouldn't break but I would bend
The path there is easy to find
But once your there your in a bind
I entered willingly a terrible place
And almost lost myself without a trace
The Devil found me and asked why I was there
I pleaded for my friend and asked if he would be fair
He offered me a chance on a wager for my soul
Somehow I new that would be his goal
He's clever and crafty and somehow tricked me
Now I was bound to hell and never would be free
I languished there for an eternity
Came to realize unlike heaven hell is not a paternity
I started scheming what I could use this realization for
There had to be a key at it's core
The Devil's wife noticed my minds fixation
When she approached I tempted a little flirtation
She could see my armored heart was still intact
The Devil had left it knowing I would suffer more infact
Amused with me she offered a chance
If I could ****** her with my parlance
I seemed to have nothing to lose so I gave it a go
She was certainly amused as we went toe to toe
I could see she was neglected a little
The Devils was very busy usually with his shizzle
She knew very well how to play a part
Succeeded in breaking my armored heart
In the process I had won her over
Seduced her and won her favor
She told the Devil my friend and I were released
He and I were very pleased
The Devil was angry but prepared our depart
She told me our release was not free and she would be keeping my heart
So we both left with our soul
But I had to leave my heart back in that hole
And so it is the Devil wants your soul but his wife wants your heart
