Hard Times Ahead
Matt May 2015
World economies teetering on the edge
ISIS threats
Enemies armed with nuclear weapons

Fukishima radiation
Illegal immigration and Overpopulation

Terrorists cross the unguarded U.S. border
Passing throug a Texas range
Don't forget droughts, food scarcity and climate change

I figure it's likely
Somthing terrible is bound to happen
In this nation
for years the nuclear industry
has been conducting business
in a leaking kind of way
and the said leaking
is more than likely
happening again to-day

the authorities in charge
of monitoring
are asleep at the wheel
and are not enforcing
their regulatory spiel

Tepco has got some explaining to do
as to why they've let the leaking ensue
Fukishima is their disgrace
over a long period of time
they've let nuclear material
leak into the air and sea space
and it continues to go on...
nuclear particles not been contained
contaminating for hundreds of years
the half life of this scourge
last for eons

but a few months ago
a report did surface
saying that more nuclear material
from Fukishima did flow
folks in the near and far proximity
of the power station
will ever be asking questions
of the nuclear authorities
with regards to not following
safety regulations

they're failing in their duty of care
to their fellow man
seas and animals
and the lands
the news is never good
where the leaking of nuclear material
is concerned
the energy providers
of the world
must be accountable
for the blight
they impose
on the natural world

I want you
To point and laugh
At me

To laugh as I cry
To make fun
Of my meaningless
Suffering

Until the day I die

I don't like
This body

That much
You can probably tell

But "that's life"
Or "that's how it goes"

Oh well

And as I eat
And **** in
Each painful breath

I read about
How Fukishima radiation
WIll continue to damage
Our health

The healthy and happy
Prosper
And their contententment
Continues on

As I am left
To sing
A miserable
Sad song

Hours in chat rooms
And what the
"F* for?

Just so women
Can mock me
And I can be
Their *****

I'm a sad pathetic guy
And it's plain to see

That there therapist
Could do nothing
To prepare me
For this misery

And I know about hope
And all of that too

Struggle through another day
Is all I can do

And I see women so happy
And so satisfied
When well-hung men
Bury themselves deep
Inside....

And I told this woman
About how Matt
Is not my real name

How when she calls
Me "Maddeline"
It takes away some pain

Do I even exist?
Am I even really here?

Without much human contact
Not much to fear

Three different chat rooms
And I move
From one to one...

And as I furiously *******
I have so much fun!

This is my life
And there is no one
Else here except me

At 12, at 2, at 4
It's the same misery

And the awkwardness of
The left shoulder
Still continues on

And in this game
Of life
I'm just a pawn

And I want to pleasure
Real men

Want to pleasure them
So bad

And I need a woman
To remind me
Of the gay feelings
I have had

And it's all so ******
And so much fun

And it helps me
Release
My healthy load
Of c

I had a simple wonder, one day,
As to why the moon has been yellow
Particles in the air, of course,
But what particles and from where?

I did some research on the wild fires in Canada
There is a jet stream carrying smoke
From Saskatchewan down to Iowa
Covering Minnesota, where I live.

This is an example of how the Earth is One Place
Events thousands of miles away can occur
Anywhere else on the Earth

And my first experience of allergies,
I willingly accept as part of the wild fires
That rage in Canada
Over one thousand miles away.

Harder to accept is,
the Fukishima nuclear plant which
Is still pouring radiation into the sea
And how that radiation has
Made its way to the US West Coast
All the way from Japan.

Something so very far away, is simultaneously,
So very intimate and near.

The Earth is all One Place
And we are part of the Earth

We make the Earth our *****
Instead of our intimate and loving partner.

After she broke through the gates she said her prayers were trapped behind enemy lines. Her Fukishima tears crashed poisonous waves to foreign shores.

I knew how it felt to be thrown in a hole left with vipers.

They still hiss at me in nightmares except now I confront them, unafraid of their venom.

My first dream paddled me through a lush heavenly river, a beautiful angel rowed, I sat at the bow facing her.

She told me long stories I cannot remember. I never felt so safe as when I spent time with her.

Time spent in a fallen world made pure waters metamorphosis to chemical troubles.

My prayers joined all the others
and sailed the jail free sky of hope.

I left her memory in a place my voice cannot travel into. Or maybe it can.

I wonder if she knows her stories paddle through my veins struggling for remembrance.

They say empathy is a wounded healer, I wonder if they know I have felt them in the distance.

Cries so intense my sensitivity got scarred on a tree engraved with the whole world's initials.

Never the same again, I understand how consciousness is a wide forever river pressing closer to empathetic ocean.

I once tried to protect myself from everything by forgetting her elegant lotus petals. Spikes in my eyes taught me invaluable lessons.

Some say empathy is a weakness.

I know now that it leads to our strongest miracle.

Who are we without compassion?

A blinded monster killing everything.

Empathy is a wounded healer.

Forgive yourself and remember your lotus petals so you can help others open up their own gardens.

We can only hope they all remember.

Life Alone.
LeV3e Sep 2016
We all go through this
Life alone.
From the moment our
Consciousness peeks out the door,
Our perception transforms,
Into Pisces... the water broke and
Out poured your psyche.
As unlikely as it is you'd
Think this was lucky huh?
Well I don't think its funny that
God blessed us with suffering.
Stressed out because, well
Sometimes life's a *****, and
Strife can dig a ditch between a
Family and the next regime. Its
Warfare here, at its refinery.
Progress is missiles launched with binary.
Success is swirling liquor at a winery.
Emissions test 400 parts per million
But Americans don't measure in Celsius.?.

We made it here
All on our own.
With hard work
We built a throne.
Having fled here
From our homes.
Wed rather burn
Than change our tone.

Its too late to get the color back
The reefs are bleached
No need for the anorak,
The polar ice caps are basically
A beached whale gasping for air,
And don't ask Japan where
Fukishima dumped its affairs...
Its become apparent that
Nobody really ******* cares, so
I worship death.
We all deserve despair.

******* America
With no money
You can't do anything

A few friends scattered
Far away

******* America
No chance of making
Any female friends

******* America

The radiation from
The Fukishima incident
Contaminates the planet

It won't be long
Before a major
Catastrophic event

America is not
Exceptional

It is a morally depraved
Bankrupt busybody

A failure in Iraq
And Afghanistan

May ******* America

There were articles and news clips
But they were in the corners
We heard distant rumblings
Like Fukishima or Haiti
We saw, but not really
Maybe we talked about it at work, for a minute
And then moved on to the latest series on Netflix

Then it was here, but not for us
We saw
We used hand sanitizer
But then we moved on
We hugged and kissed and laughed
We went to restaurants and bars and festivals

Then it was here, and it was all there was
Unthinkable
Nebulous
Enormous

We lost jobs
We learned who was essential
We ate too much
We cried
We waited

People died
People tweeted
Everyone had a theory, but no one knew anything

We mourned
We were angry
We watched
We Zoomed
And we waited
For an answer that didn’t come

— The End —
