There's one question
In particular I despise:
What's new?

Because I am pressured
To explain how different
My life has become.

I rather not
Admit its bin has
Overflowed with
Redundant files.

  You will scowl when I say,
"For me, every day is a slight
Variation of what has preceded.
There's nothing new to mention."
A conversation repellent for sure.

All I have
Is paper,
And a pen,
And a dearth
Of friends.

You can hear a pin drop
you can manipulate anyone
you can see things others do not
WHY
because so many are silent
so many waste their mind
AND
so many walk around without looking, without seeing

Your family and friends tell you to be quite
you're told not to ask questions
you're told to accept what is
you're told that you will be punished.
So while everyone you know sits silent
while everyone you know never asks why
while all the people in your life accepts everything
and while they sit in fear
You hold your head up high
you use your voice
you ask questions
you fight for change
you don't feel fear

The world around you might be silent
but they are always listening
and each day
the world is getting louder
the world is being heard!
If you believe something is the right thing share it with the world

certain things are not the right things, these include but are not limited to (hurting people/animals in anyway)
that's a big no no

Live free of pain
live free of horror
live for today
and for tomorrow
live in peace
live in love
live free
live good

Dig a hole.

Name it LOVE.

Jump into that hole.

So, I'll be FALLING IN LOVE.
I have lately waged a war
With a target to achieve victory
I have no enemy to chase
Rather circumcise impossibilities
Duties; that have defiled my life.

Life hates me because am tough
It keeps trying me in vain
As I overcome with greater strength
It knows well that I can’t return
To the thrilling past of grinding
It stripped me naked and it surprised
Am wearing clothes
It only takes a stone-heart man.
Fingers make contact with hands,
                                             we can’t stand like,
butter
flies
     on
       a
tree branch

amidst a strange wind.

Fluttering above
trees rooted in sidewalks,
out of sight.

And it feels like
the texture of our shirts
is truth,
    the cat fur,
       the bed sheets,
           our clenched teeth,
Molly whispers in our head
a meditative melody,
and we’re rollin,'
our infinite eyes
hung together
in widened silence,
enjoying a good lie.
Indigo children
with no words, just hands,
applauding the feeling,
dreading the end.
Time past,
grown up,
deflated,
we come down
to see that
sober is just
categorizing
adjectives.
