Let's play Bad Chemist
M Clement Dec 2012
Humility comes with self-loathing
You don't want to walk in my shoes

Let's beat the messenger
Until he or she is black and blue

Equal rights means equal fights
Said the Quarter to the Spoon
Set the heat to highest degree
And I'm sure you'll be here soon

Whistling like the wind through canyons
These men on bars ought do
Fine women, fine dining
Are not in-line for you

Staring at a plate
Far too full for my hunger
Go away, you glutted fool
I desire you, no longer

A lover's kiss,
A gentle touch
Things I do not feel
Unknowing
Confused thoughts
Are things that are too real.

M Clement Dec 2012
**** your unbecoming

Rant Like a child
Saying things far less mild

Feeding Soliloquy
Deep within the WillowTree
Keeping the third-eye satiated

Blackened remorse as we follow the course
Of the mare, riding into oblivion
Set with the setting sun
Break with the wind
Somber up immortality
Lessened by your falsities

We all believe in something
But it doesn't mean we're right
We all believe in something
I'm sure we'll learn to fight

"Blessed are the ignorant,"
Is a line I'll never say
For "ignorance is bliss"
Is a lie so far away

Honesty is above me
M Clement Dec 2012
Now for sobriety,
I'm done with the talk-ups

Swearing like it's my job
I hope you get the memo
I feel like ****
When I talk this horrible

Speak the gospel
I speak atrocities

Not acting like Jesus,
But I hope my momma's proud of me

Split standards,
Two houses,
I know one's proud
Or maybe neither,
I dunno,
I'm just typing out-loud.
M Clement Dec 2012
Write, write, write

I haven't done this in a while
Cobwebs on my keyboard
I'm shooting for Halloween-style

Let's get some wit in here
Don't look
I'll spit in your beer

Like the flaming Irishman,
Drink until you see the sun.

Live like you don't normally
**** like you weren't looking at me.

I'm trying to be clever,
I'm not sure you get it
If it makes you feel better,
Neither do I,
I just feel it.
It's been a bit since I've written, and when I don't write, my new stuff gets filled with language.
M Clement Dec 2012
Hot ****,
**** your ****

There it's out,
and I'm quite
happy
with it

That's really all I gotta say
I hope it gets through to you
The way things've been going
I won't hold my breath

Like winds in the desert,
No one's there to hear it
If a tree falls in the woods,
and no one's there
Would you care?

Watching shows on HGTV
Let's do some renovation
Scared of your indifference
Out here I'll be pacing
I'm typing now, really typing
Dictated words to give to all of you.
I hope you're proud of me, Mom,
Cuz this one's not for you.

DIY you *******,
feel my hate and sit
Poetry's my anger piece,
I hope you've had enough of it

X marks the buried
M Clement Dec 2012
God Bless ye,
The weary, the broken
The ones who are bleeding
Lifeless
Go away, weary souls
You do not deserve such earthly
Despair
The bodies broken,
But the souls,
Intact?
To the stratosphere with you

And to those who are the
Perpetrators
I do not wish for damnation
I hope for forgiveness
And I hope for reconciliation

Blood marks where people
Once stood
Now there are bodies
Lying in the neighborhood.
Just thoughts and musings regarding the recent shootings, here in the world. It's not abnormal, but it is sad.

It could all be lies
M Clement Dec 2012
I never stated this would be easy
You knew that coming in.
I guess, so did I,
But that never stopped me, did it?

We had a couple of close calls, didn't we?
Some scares of raising children,
Roles changing
Split-second life changes

Pleasure guided me,
I'm assuming you fell victim too
You never told me to cover up
We hid behind pills

Too many nights, with too many
Hands doing too many things
I allowed you to cover me,
As you allowed me inside of you
Cold sweat, but hot bodies
Intertwined
Pushing towards
Pulling Away

Rhythms

Silence was often the name of the game
But the nights where silence was an unknown
Were the best nights
I'm sure you agree

There are days where I really regret what we did
I stare at the sky, wondering, if you stare at it too,
If you think the same thing.
M Clement Dec 2012
Hello to the Tin Man
Said the body of various organs

Warriors sit in fields of fire
Braving heat, metal, and fury
Kneeling in the battlefield
Swords to stomachs
Bullets to brain cavities
God Bless America

Unpatriotic
God Bless the World
What's so **** special about the U.S.
We have freedom,
That's well and good
But why can't we wish for blessing
Across humanity

Avoid warriors in fields of fire
Stop braving heat, metal, and fury
Don't take a knee in the battlefield
Don't even approach it
Put down the Sword
The bullet can be unspent
Thank you soldiers for the fight for freedom,
But God Bless Everyone
Not just the winners
Not just the losers

The Tin Man's bent to hell
He's seen too much
This body of organs
Would like to stay intact
But the saving of the soul(s)
Is far more important
This is a poem regarding a hodge-podge of ideas that I've had recently. I hope I've appropriately spelled out my thoughts to a place where they'll make sense.

Curves and hairs
And you-know-wheres
Lips and tips

Linger

Kisses from misses
And dangers from strangers
What clothes can hide

Familial and not
Familiar and never-known

Bright faces
And moods to go along

M Clement Dec 2012
The stars,
****, the stars

I look at them,
From within this suit
In the envelop of space
Outside the atmosphere
Of the place I call home
Attached to the ship
Allowing me to roam

I walk across the nothingness
Looking at the vast beauties
I'm so insignificant

So

Incredibly

Small

Attached to this ship
In which I roam through space
Within this suit
I see these stars

So Insignificant

The crew should not have
Let me out
Repairs are what I should be doing
Healing the vessel in which we travel

But I'm so small

I'd rather just take my helmet off
The helmet

Off

My brains can join the stars
M Clement Dec 2012
Allow me
For a moment
To run my face along the keys

Listening to hip-hop
It's the mainstream poetry
Spoken word to beat
Bring the anger,
The fury
The feelings
Expressions

But make sure it's ****
God forbid
If it's not ****, it's pathetic,
Right?
Wrong.
Well, for me.

Bring me emotions
All colors
Bring me depth of spirit
Dark and light
Bring me truth
I want to see the world in your
perpective.

Bring me music,
Of all kinds
Just know that now,
Hip-hop is keeping me busy.

A dream of mine
M Clement Dec 2012
To look at a child,
And realize you had a part in
Her or his creation

To hold said child,
And realize this child would lack
Existence without you

You created, much like your Father,
A life, a human life
To be cherished, held, and loved
Like your Father did for you.

Beauty in each and every little finger
Curiosity lingering in each eye
The world has yet to know you,
Dear child
What will you show them?

M Clement Dec 2012
Dear Wayfarer,
Oh wayfarer, me

Show me the way to the nearest
Adventure
Show me the tallest of trees
The lowest of valleys

I wish to be lost with you,
Oh wayfarer,
You know your way around
I can tell by your grizzled features
And you impenetrable courage
Facing high cliffs like the ground below them
Was no more than a step below

Oh Wayfarer,
Dear Wayfarer, me

Take me to a road less traveled,
In times like this
Show me antiquity.
I want to see the roads of old
The ones less traveled in days such as these

Oh Wayfarer,
Oh Wayfarer,
Dear Wayfarer,
Me

Realize that this world is yours to explore
With caution
But courage
With brazenness
And humility

Oh Wayfarer
Wayfarer: Me

Take me to the skies Dad
I said silently
Hoping that today would be different

Affronted with something else
Rather than happiness

I'm not sorry that I failed you
I'm sorry that you expected miracles

M Clement Dec 2012
My senses once again fail me
In this wooded place

My eyesight left long ago,
Leaving me to fall on my face

My sense of smell quickly left the building,
Though the flora produced such sweet scents

My hearing went soon after,
Allowing me to sit, and lament

My sense of taste followed suit,
I tried to eat some blackberry's but flavor they lacked

Not long after that,
My sense of feeling came and went,
The rain was feeling oh so soothing

Now I am senseless,
But that's what I get for singly
Coming to this place.

But you and I know better

Link together two things,
Three things, four
Alike in few aspects
Word it proper
Bring about emotion

M Clement Dec 2012
Panic attacks in swift motion
Showing looks of anguish
Curled up on beds with ruffled sheets
Water in hand,
Matching the color of tears
On your face

Friends with little forethought
Playing cards with
******* who like their liquor
Selfishness abounds for children
Without responsibilities

"Let's get chronic,
I know a dealer."
"Come to the house with us,
the party's only beginning."

I may be a fly on the wall,
And I may be silent,
But know the thoughts in my mind
Are scathing.

Fish fly by in the wind

Tables of barbed wire

College was supposed to teach me things

I don't regret, I'm happy I'm here
But now the real world is what I fear

After it's all said and done
I'll leave this room, but there will be no sun.

Depressing clouds,
Bleak misfortune

I came to learn things
Not to talk about the weather.

Only the greatest for the girl that I’m sexing tonight

Strip down girl, and tell me how you really feel.
Nevermind no one liked you anyway.

Frothing forked tongues
Hit the stratosphere

Bear rugs on dirt floors
Draw me near

Flesh on flesh
Trial by fire
All it seems to be
Earthly desire

The man on the moon
Had no idea the penalty
Penalty of failings
And days of new

I take what I want
I leave you broken
Friendship lost
You say no

Lead me to other worlds

What can be said
With this teeming mess of tangles
Interwoven histories of
Taking chances

Why is it that
I feel nothing
I love You
Is but a saying
Between fakers.

A question, furious cousin.
Do not allow ignorance
My son and daughter

Do not allow your mind
To become the cannon fodder

Ignorance is bliss
Can that be said for Divine?

Take my two cents
There is left but a dime

The broken bloodied hand
Of yesterday’s time

Is left severed and withered
In the dirt next to
A coal mine

We settle for complexity
Because fighting is beyond me

Fighting for simplicity
Seems but a mess to me

Live better
We men
We live longer.

I realized, in Christian thought
If I prayed as much as I wrote
As much as I swore

If I read the Bible
As much as I make innuendos
Fake inappropriate with friends

If I spoke to God
As much as I speak to friends
As much as I spend time on the internet
As much as I listened to music
As much as I filled up every moment with noise...

I'd be a saint.

But I'm not.
I don't pursue.
I don't wake up saying,
"Lord Jesus, help me help others.
Help me be a better man."

Sure there are weeks
Then there are weaks

I'm left clutching a beer
Glass of ***
*****
Shots of Tequila

Wishing I was a better man.
Hoping I can be a better man.
Yet, when push comes to shove,
I do nothing.

I love You Father.

Sitting on tan couches

I can do infatuation

Given yourself a good look

Caressed yourself
To know yourself more intimately
Understand the areas

Someone may thank you later

Have you ever used the restroom
In front of
A mirror
Just sitting there
Staring while you ****
Staring while you ****

Makes me think of nature...

Just reflections in the water
