Gods and Goddesses
Up in the sky
If you’ve any mercy
You’d leave us to die
This world you have “gifted”
Is twisted and cruel
Am I to say thank you
For this awful cesspool?

Gods and Goddesses
I’ll take no blame
I did not consent
To your bitter game
I could ask, “what’s the point?”
But I won’t waste my breath
For even the faithful
Are rewarded with death

Gods and Goddesses
I mean to offend
With nothing but scorn
Are these words penned
I spit at your “kindness”
I curse your very names
Quite simply, *******
Leave me out of your games

Gods and Goddesses
Come and do you worst
Bring hellfire and brimstone
And Plague to this earth
I warn you, don’t cheat us
Give us this death
Unless you wish to prove
Your mercy’s bereft.

Men and Women
The time is nigh
Reject the gods
That reign on high
Their power wanes
While ours waxes strong
**** these false idols
They do not belong
I beg of you people,
Heed my own letter
Let’s show these weak gods
That we can do better
I want to thank everyone who has every taken the the time to read any of my poems. I know I’m not the best poet, so it makes my day when I see those numbers go up. This website has been a safe haven for me in some of my lowest points, and I just want to thank all of you for making this place special.

Happy New Years to all
‘Tis the end of the year
One more chapter is closing,
But a new one starts here
As we look forward
To the good times to come
We also reflect
On what this year was done
I hope your past year
Was not full of sorrow
And if so then I offer
The comfort of tomorrow
Bring in this new year
With smiles and cheer
And hopefully people
You find very dear.
I’m getting long winded
So I’ll just stop and say
Enjoy yourselves people
Happy New Years Day!

Life seems so pointless
Until she says those sweet words
“I love you Daddy!”
Julian C Jaynes Dec 2021
For a portion of my life I’ve lived
Inside this little box
Where everything I do is safe
And this tragic life can rock
But fate, it seems, had other plans
And took it in her wake
And now I sit, weak and exposed
And feel like a mistake
I can’t seem to remember now
A time when life was good
The future gets no brighter
Only harder to endure
I miss my box, where everything
Was perfect and exact
Where nothing was ever scary
Where nothing ever attacked.
So as I curl up in a ball
And let the fear sink in
Don’t pity me, nor rescue
….. for I fear I’m dead within.

Happiness deceives.
True joy can only be found
In a life of pain.

Follow the leader
Get in line
Don’t run ahead
Just march in time
Please remain calm
It’s just a drill
The hardest part’s over
We’re over the hill
Don’t ask questions
Trust in the plan
Shut the **** up
And get in the van
It’s for your own good
Mother knows best
Just keep looking forward
Only the dead rest...

A glowing warmth
A growing cold
A joyful youth
A man grown old
A winter’s night
A summer breeze
A violent birth
A death at ease
A memory gained
A family lost
This is our tax
Our final cost
My great aunt just died. I loved her dearly, and I hate to see her go. But it’s not the end. Life trudges on, new relationships will be formed and lost, and she will remain a fond memory always. This poem was an attempt at explaining the duality of life, how sadness and happiness, pain and pleasure, can coexist, and in fact must do so, for life to be appreciated.
