#themselves
Weeds in the garden
tend to grow all by themselves
the way of nature

Some people erase my warm feelings for themselves by their blindness and deafness for my feelings and tell others in my absence that Spriha has changed.

For a company, an economy, our species to succeed
everyone must work together
but not literally everyone
just enough to perpetuate sustainability
so some feel free to burn bridges to clear their own road.
Professional wrestlers use the phrase
“Going into business for themself”
when someone has to get all their **** in to display their move set
or no-sells their opponent’s moves to make themselves look tough
like in improv comedy
when one of the performers doesn’t go along with any of the jokes
it can be very funny, just not in a collectively beneficial manner
the audience laughs recognizing the performer as the standout
while the performer steps on their colleagues’ jokes
going into business for themself.
Capitalism indoctrinates us
to go into business for ourselves
like Bill Gates
driving companies out of business through economic hostility
then buying back his soul through economic charity
a tribute to those fallen—it’s a fractional penance
the apex predator keeps the lion’s share
adhering to the jungle mentality ingrained in us
telling us to go into business for ourselves.

Virgins define their shelves,
Are they left on the shelves?
No, virgins are doing for themselves!

Rubayiat Al Thurab (Verses of the Dust) - 57
BismillahIr RahmanIr Raheem
I can properly guide the path
To those, who are blind and even deaf.
But I can't morally guide to those,
Who merely pretend themselves
As blind and deaf.

extra long vintage convertible car.
notice my big shoe size,
do I know what that really means?
extra little lies on top of giant whoppers.
the number of figures on their W-2,
and my measurements and cup-size, please.
please treasure
their perspicacious needs.
what’s with the obsession with size?
won’t sleep with them on the first date,
they are shocked, just shocked,
when informed on the dotted line
that a hundred dinners won’t turn me into their
personal come-when-called *****
at nineteen, by now,
I should know better,
do as I’m told
what’s this obsession with hurry up, immediate satisfaction?
and patting my head like i’m their favorite pet,
mansplaining me how the world works,
cause at nineteen I don’t know ****
just listen to the know-not-a-damn thing
arrogance of knowing it all impress themselves
what’s this need to be superior but a huge (size) coverup?
yeah yeah, get me a better class of men,
like my literate professors who will improve my grade
for use of the insights of my mouth on their poetic gestures.
I can wait, till I find a right sized human being,
in every which way,
especially
if he shows me the true love poems writ
for other girls,
then I may even trust him,
sooner
than never

Vane glorious and absolutistic,
though I defiantly,
cavalierly, and blithely attest
Yukon bet your (laugh-in) sweet bippy
mine acidic breast
houses anarchic, anti-poetic ballistic,
barbaric, and bubonic
cannibalistic demons within thy
safely guarded Pandora chest
atomic cesium clock
timed to trigger avast
burst of anxiety, frenzy, and
(What me worry
Alfred E. Neuman) blast
ting mental quietude at most
inappropriate, inconvenient,
inopportune, out classed
adrenaline rush, nausea,
palpitating heart, vertigo
besieging, corrupting,
endeavoring fractured arrant
cleft daemonic gripping
hellishly psychic chant
rendering unto sieze ****
a choking vise grip extant
yule hiss sieze indomitable
banshee fully controlling grant
diabolic, dogmatic, and dynamic,
anguished corporeal ache
easily, egregiously, and emblematically,
exemplified historically
graphic fatalistic, and ecstatic coup,
(koo), when I caused furious frantic flight,
and/or fight betake
king angst causing just desserts
for Marie Antoinette,
who got her humble pie cake,
thence dispensing with formalities,
where a joshing drake
(named Gill O. Teen)
also known (solely known
to mine selfish source error ways)
alias i.e. as; the Lewis (loose)
lunatic, heady harvester,
and decapitation Deacon trumpeting,
trouncing, and triumphing tranquility
for fifty three Tuesdays,
thence sea king punishing psychotic
pre pound payment
basking in glory (re: gory us)
amidship crashing quays
music to mine ears hearing plaintive neighs
high pitched straining
vocal chord hamstrung keys
regaling oceanographic
lambent hagiographic essays
and keeping at bathos bays.

Every 4 years I post this, hoping that the message, although lighthearted, will come forth.
The Doped Olympics
Why don’t they simply create a new branch
And call it the Doped Olympics?
By the laws of semantics
It soon would come into the language, legitimized:
Youth forgets past.
Soon the word would have lost its original shame,
While the name of the game
Would be guilt-free and blame-free,
And those who would qualify
Could have drug deliverance, muscles defined, bodies divine.
If they dropped dead at forty
At least they’d have entertained millions,
Fulfilled their ambitions,
Made lots of folk rich
And set records untold.
Let those few or many spend hours in training;
Let chemists develop concoctions so new
That the pole-vaulter flies,
The sprinter’s a jaguar,
The shot put is sent into orbits of space,
The long jumper jumps twenty meters
While men become fierce
And the women grow beards,
Which gives all of the chemists new projects to work on.
A yes to the ***** Doped Games.

what to do when you committed yourself to someone who won’t commit themselves to you?
they never loved you the way you loved them
maybe they don’t even deserve the way you loved them
saying that makes your heart hurt though,
how to look right at the face of the one who crushed your heart
and not want the entire world for them
how to stop wishing they’d be okay
that they would be happy again
how to stop wishing for the past
when they giggled and smiled and said “it’s because of you”
how to forget the tone in their voice when they said “i love you too”
How
if you figure it out write it down on a paper and send it to me too
words i need to know more than i need her to be true

We miss many skips when jumping,
not realizing that they'd
hung themselves on the old oak.
The playground was empty of smiles,
just mummified emotions
buried within themselves.
Were just jumping off steps,
to the cold pavement awaiting us,
Our tombstones of lives last jump

I can only see what you see,
I can show you yourself
but I cannot comment as I have no mouth.
if you choose to change then I will watch you,
If some don't like what they see, they avoid me or break me,
but doing either of those things achieves nothing,
because I only see what they see, they cannot hide from their own mind.
I only see them as they see themselves, i have no mouth so I do not lie.
I can only see what they see, i cannot say that their opinions are wrong or right,
I see them only as they see themselves with their own eyes, what am I?

You never know how broken someone really is until they give you a part of themselves.

I don't understand how one can hurt so badly
But continue to hurt themselves more

Days squeeze us hard Simply because they're pregnant with A lot of things , Good or bad ... We are totally depressed and we are completely disappointed ... Courage is needed ,but Hard stumbling-blocks prevent us from going ahead ... Patience is greatly needed ,but We are greatly impatient ... We run away to the rear Simply because we can not run away to the front ... All ways and sub-ways are totally closed ... We don't have wings to fly ... Hard times besiege all of us , Up and down , Rich and poor , Strong and weak ,and Near or far .... That's our way ! ___________________________________________________________

Themselves
That's all anyone ever cares about
No I'm not mad..I think I've accepted
That it is human nature
So excuse me
While I go comfort my friends
As I myself fall apart
I don't know how much longer
I can care
I don't even care about myself
And all they care about is
Themselves.
