I'm blind in one eye
So excuse me if I only see
Half the truth
And tell whole lies
Oh my!
Your hate can't run fast enough
To catch me
I caught your eyes
Both
Oath
we should take
"Joe!, We should wait"
The **** for?
**** more

I'm a sick *******

Was that a diss
To my mother?
You bitter *******-
Err
At the sight of
Locked hands
I see
Your heart has become
Icy
Why me!
Why did I fall in love
With a girl
That doesn't want to spend
Every waking moment of her life
With
Me....

I don’t ****
With the farm life
At these pharmacies
Affecting brains
Like the mad cow disease
These pills
CVS deal
Like the new
Dope man

Dopamine can be
As mean
As the M and M’s
The doctor prescribes
Dropping dreams
For a little bit
Of “rest at ease”
While the rest
Of these fiends
Lie
To themselves
And me

Meaning
The mean green
****
Killing machine
Can extract
The euphoria
You make yourself
By resting eyes
On your family

Your fam would be
Much happier
If you were
Happy
For yourself
More water is
Fine
I don’t need
No help
Championship ****
I don’t need
No belt

Pants sag
Like the bags
In grandma eye’s
Cries
As she tries
To pry dope needles
Out a dead man's hands
Handing himself
To the Devil’s food
We put on
A pedestal
Meanwhile stools
At the bar
Spin like the
Mind
Of a man with little time
Left
Right in the eyes
Of his children
He makes
A short trip
After one more sip

****,
I guess
It boils down
To the bear essentials
Bear the bruises
With the heart
God gave you

Don't let them fool you
Joseph Childress Sep 2010
Though
I sound poetically incorrect
I heart you
Hearter
Than any man
Can ever

I’m a realist
Not a stenciled prince

Are you unconvinced?

Conniving acts
Are for those
Who can’t match

We’re misplacements
Made purposely
To find
Each other

Well,
We’ve found!
Though,
You look excited

We should settle down

Before
Anyone notice’s
This happiness
And tries to end
Ride and Die
If we must
Go out
Like Bonnie & Clyde
In the dust…
Die in the ride
We rode to death
We won’t go
Like Romeo or Juliette
Russian roulettes’
For the odds
And we have demands
**** chancing
On standings
We already have

Forget about whatever
And focus on forever
We have too much left
After this life
To worry about now...

Love learning disablilities
Romance has reprimanded me
Walking
Hand in hand
Avoiding other women
I thought I
Was a true believer
Of free love
But
When she
Let her love free
With men
Other than me
It uncovered
More than wanted
Suddenly,
Control seems
Like just another variable
Unbearable
The bear hold
It has
When your last
Is handled
Like theirs more to spare
And you know
The tear
Is wearing thin
Joseph Childress Sep 2010
Should I leave her?
Pull the lever
That drops her
Or swing the cleaver…

Cut off all ties
Than make a bow
Like cupids
And use it
For another

Arrows arise
At the wrong time
And the blades
Make their way
Through
Your best friend’s chest

****…
I missed


I meant to hit you
So we
Could love again
But
I guess
I’m love bent
Joseph Childress Sep 2010
The sad reality
Isn’t really
That real
A demotion
To different dimensions
Is as demented
As intended
Demolition

My mind divides
Life
To “this and that”

Dementia
No recollection
Of this dimension
Built my own
Reality
Is the only casualty
In delusion

Illusions are fact
Until revealed
Like a magic trick
Exposed
But eyes
Have no hand
In wisdom
Joseph Childress Sep 2010
I have no morals
Just mortal misunderstandings
The portal
Under my bed
Leads to a world
Unmanaged
Imagined
Illuminating
Culminating in the unconscious mind
An uncontrollable culture
Cultivated
In some odd crevices
In the humane
Brain
Inhumane ways
Weigh the options
Opt out of righteous
For the night
Just escape
To a place
Banished from
Reality
Rely on nothing
But irrationality
A skewed view
You can ask
New questions
Though there’s only a
Few answered
Before your time’s due
Do
Or die hard

.My mind replays my life before my shut eye
Leaving hellish days for heavenly nights.

I awake
At the break
Of day to face
The life I live
Heroic actions
Enacted
On day to day….


But when night falls
So will I
Deep asleep
And seep into
My other mind
True creation
Recreation re-created
To wreck creations
Feel no pain
Fright
Fights off folly
In the alley
Of a dream
I am finally
Laid to rest
In peace...
