it won't tell you
how to be
it simply expects
you to know it
naturaly
and it may
knock you around
if you find
a way other
than the expected.

humans are weird
each in their own
special snowflake way
but you're still a freak
and you won't get
to bury a car
with the other snowflakes.
I assume car burying
is a big event to snowflakes

who watches the watchmen
or something to that effect
its an important thought
they keep an eye on us
but who watches them
are they their own check
a very ab-usable system
if they can't watch themselves
we get more
watchers to watch the watchmen
but that same problem pops up
their overseers get corrupt
so we must watch them
but you know you can't trust us.

go as fast
as you will
I have feeling
you'll find yourself
right back here.

The colors clash
make a mess
an acid rain
drip drop
on the citizens
who wonder
why
Why
human nature.
mikecccc Mar 2016
Dripping dropping
If I was a narcissist
I might think
The rain was for me
But I can play
A sad song
And stare glumly
Out the window
No matter why
It rains
It feels
thematically
Appropriate.

looking good
at least
from a far
up close
the truth is obvious
you haven't got
a single
*******
chocolate chip.

I was always
a bit overeager
at answering questions
I just
wanted to make sure
everyone knew
I wasn't totally clueless.

Ram
Slam your head
Against the issue
That will solve it
Unless of course
It's somehow harder
Than your head
Then all you'll have
Is a cracked skull
And an unimpressed audience.
Rat
mikecccc Apr 2017
Rat
run from the cat
the light the giants
run from anything
not everything
is trying to **** you
but any of it could
there's enough crumbs
on the edges to survive.

Is it better
to rule in hell
or serve in heaven
maybe rule in hell
but it already has a king
and a long line of successors
i'll just be a lazy servant.
mikecccc Jun 2016
A rock
thrown in a rage
hit the other
nothing personal
except your existence
kinda irks me
I would feel bad maybe
if you were one of mine
why then I might
be willing to die for you
we need stand together
against the evil of this world
but you aren't for reasons.
mikecccc Mar 2016
Kind of a pain
Kind of wonderful
Kind of all sorts
Of things really
Stranger than fiction
When it isn't
Excessively mundane
It could use
A bit more levity
And perhaps equality.
mikecccc Apr 2016
that dam bloodhound
hunted me down
and set to chewing
on my spirit
twenty bucks
says it chokes
Ha
i'm kidding
that mutt has eaten
far grander souls than I
without a hiccup.
mikecccc Sep 2015
Reality is whats real
A fact readily accepted
now if only we all agreed
on what is real
it's so simple
the proof is right there
Yet the truth
whatever that is
is denied
with malicious intent
or out of ignorance
and sometimes
malicious ignorance.
mikecccc Feb 2017
Not excessively
realistic
what good are names
when they are ironic
they're good for a laugh
the first time anyway.
mikecccc Feb 2017
once upon a time
A boy broke his head
he was never the same
his parents wept
and his friends
were bummed out

it happens
it happens you know
not sure what we learned
besides that it can happen.
just a story
i've been told
mikecccc Jun 2015
It's broken
In a thousand pieces
All the kings men yada yada
Yet still you attempt to rebuild
Diligently picking up the pieces
Are you a fool
For trying to fix
The unfixable
Or am I
for never Trying at all.
Red
mikecccc Mar 2016
Red
Danger danger
Red is a warning
Blood and alarm
Mechanical and
Human screaming
I think I need
A less passionate shade.
mikecccc Jan 2016
you can have my hat
when you pry it
from my dead fist
it has drops of red liquor
from all those others
who thought themselves
my better
and I suspect
it will soon have
A few drops more
from you and your friends
possibly your family to
so come forward
brave challenger
I want to see
your heart.
mikecccc Jun 2021
fay folk
in the legends
regular folk
from what I've seen
tie-dye with vital red
savage minions
rushing about
with such naïve purpose
maybe maybe I do you a disservice
maybe you understand more than I did
God knows I can't ask
no good reason to prove
what you might suspect.
mikecccc Jul 2015
They haunt me
Those rage filled
Sockets
I wonder
What caused it
Or who
Can they be calmed
Would vengeance
Be the fix
Or is anger
And hate
all That's left.
mikecccc Jun 2016
Just shine
crimson lighthouse
be something
to stumble over to
in the dark
why red instead
of blue or white
we want it to look
ominous.
colors are interesting
mikecccc Aug 2015
My mind is full
with a strong filter
for my mouth
there never freed
is that right
is that wrong
I I don't know
it makes me want
to just bang my head
against the wall.
mikecccc Dec 2015
A kind hearted man
With an organized life
A good intention
For all the people
Too bad
That superman
Is trapped in the mirror
And
I'm the one
Out here.
mikecccc Nov 2015
You may regret that
Or you may not
Everyone is different
And I can't read
Your mind
I don't think
That anyone can lead
A life with no regrets
Just make sure
Their a learning experience.
mikecccc Dec 2015
Why don't I drink
Why don't i take
Shot after shot
And flee from reality
Into sweet sweet oblivion
Oh right
That's not healthy
And no one in easy reach
Has any
They have drugs
Prescription And not
But I suppose I'm too dam
Law abiding for that
Ah well
I'll just write poetry
Instead.
mikecccc Jul 2016
Are you just writing
the same thing over and over
like you're possessed
tell your ghost story
and free yourself of
mad repetitive scrbbling
if you can
it may be even you
do not know what
you truly wish to say
and every attempt
drives the truth farther away
A shame.
mikecccc Apr 2016
small talk chit chat
same old same old
say something new
what can I say
that hasn't already
been said
nothing comes to mind
but god dam it
has always been
a favorite phrase of mine.
you really have to sigh it
mikecccc Mar 2016
Jumper cables please
feed me some energy
and I will rise
from my
DIY crypt
if you could
i'll owe you one.
mikecccc Jun 2016
not the same thing
as defeat
move back
and give yourself time
to think
but don't take forever.
mikecccc Oct 2016
Can you see it
what could be
what is
through anothers eyes
through the peephole
in the words
is it pretty
probably lies
is it ugly
might be lies to
wanna another look?

Took a nap
to while away
the dull day
only to wake
after one hundred years
A long nap indeed
he found the world
to be a strange place
not really his place
from what I've heard
he would feel the same
had he been awake.
mikecccc Aug 2015
Such disgusting creatures
small and without pride
they skitter all over
they infest
they distress
they survive
through atomic fire
through haughty beatings
they survive and thus
the next generation does the same
I suppose that's enough.
mikecccc Jul 2016
I have good excuses
for all my crimes
as a judge I know
who deserves and who
does not
so I will take
and give in the certainty
of my morale authority
Your honor.
mikecccc Sep 2015
Your totally prepared
To look like
Your prepared to do
What needs to be done
But we both know
When push comes to shove
Your confidence will shatter.
mikecccc Sep 2015
As you go
You gather grime
Depending on where you go
You gather more or less
But almost certainly
Not none

And When my days are done
I hope what's left
Is not too obscured with grime.
mikecccc Feb 2016
They say
If you don't
Love yourself
You can't truly love
Another person
Which is a problem
If you have
A small heart
If you really try
You might fit one
But two well
That just won't work
So it's you or me.
mikecccc Mar 2016
what
do you see
is it
the same thing
as me
if we see
the same thing
does that mean
we're both crazy
because if so
i'd like to change
my answer.
mikecccc Sep 2015
Everything was lovely
once upon a time
or so my mind claims
there was unpleasantness
but all that comes to mind
was such energetic fun
laughs and good times
wait
am I thinking of
the Brady bunch.
rot
mikecccc Jan 2017
rot
waste away
tis the way of nature
to decay day by day
to make way
for something new
decaying isn't fun
nature doesn't much care
but we do
we often try to fight it
or try to ignore it
do birds care
they would if they could
probably.
mikecccc Oct 2015
I had noble aspirations
I wanted to save them
I fought with righteous indignation
Yet all I caused was harm
I lead them astray
I said that in the end
Things would be better
But in the end
Things are much the same.
mikecccc Feb 2016
******* puzzles
praise be the hammer
something to solve
the accursed complications
with ease and a lack of thought
perhaps there's a better way
but it would take forever.
mikecccc Nov 2015
where did everything go
where once stood
such fine architecture
there is only rubble
red dots the land
and the lady moon
just looks down
on the creatures
she sees
you just know
that arrogant sun
will hear about this
in the morning
and those celestial rivals
will laugh and laugh.
mikecccc Nov 2015
It's easy to dwell
On the dark side of life
Focus on the pain
But it isn't healthy
Or so I'm told
So maybe
Think about sloths
They're pretty funny
And if that doesn't work
I don't know
Try reading a book
Something not written
By Edgar Allan Poe.
mikecccc Jun 2016
Raiders took the temple
killed the priests
and looted the sacred graves
the gods had nothing to say
at least that the living heard
the raiders suffered losses
most still looked forward
to next years raid.
some claim to have heard something.
mikecccc Oct 2015
A follower of the marquee
A proponent of pain
Possibly handy
With a blade
Those viscous folk
Who feed on pain
What's the appeal
Perhaps it's just
A sort of quirk
Albeit of a more
Malevolent sort
I hope you don't
Bring them home.
mikecccc Aug 2015
Its all good
no danger
for you
in your small
metal box
next to the other
important objects.
mikecccc Sep 2016
Strong arms can seem
like all the protection
you will ever need
till they let you go
or otherwise fail you
and you realize
how feeble a protection
flesh is.
mikecccc Apr 2015
Truthfully I have none to offer

I have platitudes and quotes

what does it mean to be sage
I couldn't say

Wisdom is something gathered
but I've never been a collector

So where do you find sage wisdom
family/friends
medical professionals
auto mechanics

I really couldn't say
probably television.
