#selfdetermination
I am that I am
And I have none to blame if I end up lame
I am not the same
My transformation is persistent and I've won the game
I have conquered myself...
I am a creativist
Words are keys I play when my guitar is not weeping
I swim in ink as I think deep
Drinking on the brink of slumber and words keep me from sleeping
The depth of my thoughts is beyond human comprehension.
I am more than a poet.
If you take a journey in my mind you will get lost
I’m empowered to create so I don’t think like the rest!

The flower necklace,
she throws it away, doesn't want --
to be manacled.

Everything flows, a coming
and going of opportunities
Flags blow everywhere
but I don't put poles
of certainty around me
My work and my relationships
are fluid, my fate
is not in my hands
not even in the lines
that fortune tellers read
Pleasure for myself
idealism for all
between the flippers and
the facades of the day and
the dreams of the night
The flippers of catastrophes
and consequences bang
on the bonces of power
the wheels of money and
the cannonballs of contempt

Mama, of course, conceded
sometimes, not often
I hope, out of love
being a little bit less mutual
for the moment
I didn't know anything about that
I was romantic
did not think about children
awakened by tumult
in the parental bedroom
At home was safe, I didn't pay attention
to those other women
available to men's eyes
that was a different world
of advertising and loveless ***
but now I notice, I see
female bodies
as human bodies
only having themselves
as owner

Lovely is the fall
from the ivory tower --
of grave piety.

I want to serve in the U.S. Marines.
As for why? I have many reasons why;
One of which is the monetary gain-
A stable income sounds nice, I won't lie.
There's also the free college, which, oh my;
Really does sound quite nice- to me at least.
There's also the coolness factor, you know?
I've always been more warrior than priest;
I've always liked to fight (I am such a beast),
And the brotherhood does seem nice to me.
But I could get all of these things elsewhere-
Not only just in the military.
So why do I want to enlist, truly?
Well, the reason is quite specific:
I have yearned for that red badge of courage;
The proof that I'd die in the Pacific
To protect people, oh, how terrific!
You see, I want to be a proud hero-
Because that's the way I've designed myself.
I want to be he who will always go
Into lead and fire to face down his foe.
Let me clarify: not to prove to you
Who I am, no, I don't care what you think-
But to prove to myself, prove I can do
Good things, and that I'm a good person too.
'Cause truth be told, I don't know anymore-
Good seems to be natural to others,
But evil too, as evidenced by war.
I want to fight evil, defend the poor
People who couldn't handle such a task.
I want to help people, human beings,
Because I AM good- it's not just a mask.

I have practiced not to move
not to sigh, hack or cough
I'm on my way in underwear
They carry me through the thirteen
doors, folded up in a chest, books
under my knees, under my head
The world needs laws
that are above parties, for years
I have been thinking across borders
about the right to freedom:
the seas and self-determination
of peoples, I sit still for hours
writing without a sigh or cough
I have practiced not to move
two hours every evening in the chest
to make a success of the plan
that my wife's love
conceived for me
