YOUR test results came back so FOCUS
you EXCEEDED the prognosis
here's my OFFICIAL diagnosis
CHAMPION's blood runs through YOUR veins
this means EVERYTHING will change
so SMASH the walls and BREAK the chains
jump EVERY fence and GRAB the reins
UNLEASH yourself onto this planet
my GOD you just BURST with TALENT
give EVERYTHING and take your GLORY
YOU are the HERO of this story
your NAME will be long REMEMBERED
the one who NEVER surrendered
who left their foes DEVASTATED
and records OBLITERATED

tiny bubbles
surfing
water

bless me father
I have
sinned

cherry trinkets
burning
fire

take me higher
dancing
wind

this officer requires assistance
could you explain to me the difference
between the dealings of a business
and deadly battle for existence

rich eat the poor without resistance
a moral consciousness no hindrance
there's only room if you're the biggest
sounds like survival of the fittest

a pleasantly enough appearance
the lawyers running interference
got to admire their persistence
they have the limbs to go the distance

can't go crying to mommy dearest
she traded in her sweet for sweetest
now has soda with every breakfast
schedule adapted to her dentist

how can we fight this evil menace
when those who tried have been embarrassed
it's hard to **** what has been cherished
both parties guilty in this marriage

chief executives in attendance
we declarate our independence
I have acquired taste for vengeance
the target bearing my resemblance

the picture painfully apparent
oh yes it will be most unpleasant
overindulge antidepressants
solving the problem of my presence

you stimulate my hippopotamus
touch more chakras than an octopus
reduced to a headless chicken
not bad for a helpless kitten

you complicate my zebra belly
I asked for pasta, got spaghetti
lost in your bloom of jellyfish
sting me as often as you wish
Mani Malien Nov 2015
dearest friend, you're off the payroll
you will get strangled by our halo
we have no gold to end the rainbow
sorry for rocking your cradle

the mountaintop holds a volcano
the wind of change a wild tornado
we have no light to end the tunnel
sorry for bursting your bubble

now wake up and tell your neighbor
you can stop waiting for a savior
we have no prize to end the labor
sorry for cutting your paper

how can I help you understand
it's what the bag represents
this day devoid of any meaning
am I not allowed
to feel something
anything
at all

how can I make you understand
it doesn't matter live or die
joy can be found in simple things
am I not allowed
to pleasure
myself
at all

how I wish you could understand
a person without a future
has no use for more restrictions
am I not allowed
the freedom
to decide
at all

how you will never understand
this world we both inhabit
you have answers to my questions
am I not allowed
to disagree
not true
at all
Mani Malien Nov 2015
because you are so very special
I will soon end this poem
and thereby grant you the gift
of time
