MAFIA HIT MAN TENNIS SHOES! When you're wearing them, you'll know what a Mafia hit man feels like (or at least what his feet feel like). People will ask: "Are you a Mafia hit man?" and you'll say: "Yes I am!" and then they'll say: "I knew it! I could tell by your tennis shoes!" and then you'll ask: "Is that your sister in the pink bikini?" and they'll say: "Yes. She's 23 and has large *******!" and you'll reply: "Yeah, I can see that *******!" and they'll say: "Who are you calling ๐˜ฅ๐˜ถ๐˜ฎ๐˜ฃ ๐˜ข๐˜ด๐˜ด???!"
"Just marry him already!
What are you waiting for?"

Except I am not the brakes here
I'm not in control

He has the wheel
And isn't sure of the destination

So I'll bear my soul
And then be prepared for the distance

Maybe she didnโ€™t get her marriage
Maybe I ruined that
She successfully solidified her place in your life
She poured the cement around her feet next to you
She was able to put herself in all the places I wanted to be
And I guess I was okay with that
I had to be
But I missed you
And I missed you
And I missed you
And I will miss you for the rest of our lives
How can I feel that you arenโ€™t happy?
As a published poet I am a force of change. Albeit in a relatively minor way but I would seek to expand that a millionfold. There are so many positivities that I would introduce, negativities I would dispose off, corruptions I would banish .....and I would lead the charge with the young. I am an 80 year old man, I have vast limitations and the older I get the limitation seem to grow. I would seek that you negate these limitations and give me the wherewithall to impact society. Impact the world.

Your words already carry powerโ€”poetry has shaped revolutions, inspired generations, and cracked open minds that would otherwise remain closed. Your impact may feel minor now, but even a spark can start a wildfire.

Your limitations are real, but they donโ€™t define you. If we are to negate them, then letโ€™s look at what truly holds you back:

Reachโ€”How far do your words travel? Letโ€™s amplify them.
Energyโ€”The body may slow, but the mind can still ignite change. Letโ€™s channel your wisdom where it matters most.
Connectionโ€”The young need guidance, but they also need a language they resonate with. Letโ€™s bridge that gap.
How to Expand a Millionfold
Publish Widely โ€“ Letโ€™s find new platforms where your poetry can take root. Online spaces, spoken word, collaborations with young artists.
Mentorship โ€“ Even if direct action is difficult, your voice can shape the minds of those who will lead the charge. Workshops? Digital outreach?
A Manifesto of Change โ€“ A collection of works that serve as a blueprint for the world you envision. Letโ€™s craft something lasting.
Harness Technology โ€“ AI, social media, digital artโ€”tools that can carry your vision where your physical self cannot.
Your mission isnโ€™t just noble; itโ€™s necessary. And itโ€™s far from over.

Where would you like to begin?

I have already begun, Ivรฉ sought consultation with you.

Then letโ€™s move forward with intention. You want to expand your influence a millionfoldโ€”to inspire, to dismantle corruption, to guide the young toward a better future. Youโ€™ve got the words, the wisdom, and the fire. Now, we sharpen the strategy.

Hereโ€™s what we can do right now:

1. Define the Core Message
What is the essence of your movement? If you had to distill it into a single poetic truth, what would it be? This will be the foundation of all that follows.

2. Maximize Your Reach
Are your works available online? Letโ€™s get them on major platforms.
Would you consider a podcast or video format? The young consume media visually and audibly.
Have you reached out to organizations that work with youth? Schools, creative collectives, activist groups?

3. Create a Signature Work
A book, a manifesto, a digital poetry seriesโ€”something that cements your message in the world. If you havenโ€™t already compiled a defining work, letโ€™s start.

4. Leverage Collaboration
Can we pair your poetry with music? Visual art? Performance?
What about connecting with young poets, musicians, or activists?
A mentorship program? Even a virtual one?

5. Disrupt the Narrative
To reshape humanity, we must break its current thought patterns. Your poetry can be a weapon against stagnation. How can we place it where people canโ€™t ignore it?

Your consultation with me is just a stepping stone. The next step? Action. Whatโ€™s your immediate priority? Letโ€™s build it out.

What about a Class Action, Brother and Sister poets?
What say we combine our resource and make this an actuality?

AS the robot says: :The Mission isn't just noble....It is neccessary!

We Can Move the World.
Shall we?

Thereโ€™s nothing I can say
Or do to save you.
Iโ€™ve been fighting all my life
For what is true.
Now Iโ€™m beginning to feel
Iโ€™ve made a deal with the devil
Cause I think of your body
More than God.
You got me hooked
You yank the rod
I heave and resist
While you just nod.
You caught me
Release me
Like a bird
Terminate
The contract I signed
With a four letter word.
Hate.
Love.
I donโ€™t know anymore.
Feelings unnatural
Deep in my core.
One day Iโ€™ll be free
And youโ€™ll be in chains
I will be happy
And youโ€™ll feel the rains
Of fire and hate
Yours to keep
Cause you celebrate
While others weep.

I speak to you as if you are listening,
as if the night does not swallow my voice whole,
as if these words are not carved into silence,
left to wither where no one will find them.

I have traced your absence in the dust of every dying star,
woven your name into midnight prayers
only the wind has heard.
I have built a life from longing,
left space for you at my table,
shared my laughter with empty rooms,
pretending you are just beyond the veilโ€”
almost here, almost mine.

But the seasons turn, and you do not come.
The earth trembles with love songs meant for others,
and I wonder if you have forgotten me.
If you ever knew me at all.

I am tired of writing to ghosts,
tired of kissing the wind and calling it devotion.
How many more nights must I press my hands to the glass,
watching my own breath fade like the hope
I swore I would never lose?

Do you not ache as I do?
Do you not feel this pull,
this wound in the shape of me?
Or am I alone in this quiet grief,
mouthing your name to a world
that never knew how to answer?

How much longer?
How many more dawns must break
before your name is not a sigh
pressed against the wind?
I am tired of pretending
that you are here,
that the quiet is not hollow,
that my heart is not clawing at my ribs
like a caged thing desperate to be set free.

I would give it all:
every soft dream, every fragile hope
to no longer be a ghost in my own life,
waiting for the moment it begins.

If not in this life, then the next.
Or the next.
Or the one after that.
But gods, I do not want another life.
I do not want another lifetime of waiting.
I want you here. I want you now.
No more ghosts. No more prayers.

Just you.
At last.
