Poetic T
The insanity of life's breathes,
Opens tears upon a wrist
Of bandaged bracelets.

Michael Humbert
Sever the limb
Cauterize the wound
Ties cut so easily
It's over

File it away as a failure
Set your subject free
We are now recruiting!
Please form an orderly queue

"Move on," you chant, "Let go!"
******* sociopath
Mental disasters are but another tremor
In your psyche shaken by olden quakes

And please don't follow up
They've learned your tricks
They understand what forever means
And they impose the same on others

It's nothing personal
Just science and trials
It's always personal
Just psyches and lives

what would he be thinking ... (?)

::

But

( I finally conclude )

""

Isn't this just another way of saying

IF .........I

HAD MY HEAD ON STRAIGHT

WHAT WOULD ......I

BE THINKING ?

//

In truth

The question is

WHAT AM I DOING

AND WHAT DO I THINK IS GOING ON ?

//

then I see

That the issue is really

One of             bow important do I think I am

Or

One of       how relevant is my existence in the scheme of things

//

I walk on

OH ****

HERE I AM  !

//

Forget the super powers !

The super heroes !

The invincible robotic warriors !

//

ITS JUST ME

AND HERE I AM

And what I'm doing

I think I really know

And how to do it ?

Well here you are too

Where do I find a poem?
In the space of a blink,
Between heartbeats,
When idle or moving,
With family and friends,
In a cemetary,
At school,
On a beach,
On-line,
On a bench, sitting beside me.
In the four seasons,
Beneath the blue, black and starry canopy,
In the wild, sapian or worldly,
In the arts and prophets,
Crawling on the floor,
When I'm cooking;
And, when I'm not looking,
A poem will find me.
Where do you find yours?

I am repeating with devotion the same mistakes again and again, like a ritual.
As if repeating them would justify them.

Could you graph the path of my wrathful masochism?
Where would you end?
See I tend to forget the beginnings of it all,
Just this gruesome conclusion
This heinous collusion of chance and demons
An occlusion of vision
This endless derision of what I continue to hold so dear

And what if they made a movie of my narrowminded delusion?
A myopic biopic starring yours truly,
And duly shown for all to see real lunacy

"Love's forever," I says to me and
Forever can be as long as you want it to be

She needed no man to
understand her,
but she needed every man
to respect her.
Because her father
taught her that all she truly
needed was already
in her―
assurance of her own worth.

I see you in the sky, at the park,
The beach, the trees, and everything existing.
My eyes glow with vengeance,
Me, that one and lonely lark.
These parasitical souls always stare.
Everyone can see, yet they say the same thing.
Infecting all those with a heart is your daily hobby.
By this time, the deepest crater forms
In my stomach, yet even so,
do not keep your mouth shut.
Freedom glows in the dark,
And it is pitch black.  These
Intoxicated,  pseudo democratized zombies
Engulfed the entire country.
Yes, one man is one vote
Is a romantic belief that infects most of us.  
Forging a sincere democratic thought,
Was it passion for those buried centuries in the past?
U.S.A is the place to be if you have money,
Yet leave the weary and weak,
Hungry, and weak. America, certainly is no honey.
Riches of crazed beings is what they seek.
To feel any bliss at all, I must pay tithe.
Pass the furnace to my soul.
All talk no walk, with these politicians.  It doesn't help to have robots who have little to no knowledge, who did no research, to elect our local politician.  Whomever takes the most corporate dollars, is always the winner.  Once elected he keeps his word to that corporation, then holds a firm opinion about a few social policies, so that he has something for middle America to think they're voting for.  I hope the issues of marriage equality, and cannabis get resolved so that we can start talking about real issues that make this country less and less democratic ironically, one vote at a time.

Love
It's not okay,
to touch a woman without her consent.
to degrade her.
to think you own her.
to trying to posses her.
to forcing her.
to hurting her.
to break her.
to make her think she's worthless.
to try and **** herself esteem.
to wreck havoc in her heart.


**Its. not. okay
