How long will you look away
and pretend it doesn’t matter?
See our world in decay,
all our children getting fatter.  
Pesticides, herbicides, aluminum in our rain!
PSAF’s in our blood cells, plastics in our brains.

Corporations chasing profits as the empire gasp for power.
The time is now to rise and fight and stop being a bunch of cowards!
Traveler Tim
I have learned the wasting of time
To reap unearthly success
The presence of which, preserves
My Freedom--My Sanity--My Kingdom
How else could I have carried the day
If I had allowed pointless
Repetition of tasks to occupy me
Life is short and vibrant to acquire things
That would soon be forgotten
Or that Time would do away with
However, such employments
Keep one's mind at bay precluding
The occurrence of objectionable acts
Not everyone is educated
In the art of sublimation.

I have learned to stay young
By imprisoning the meanness of mind
Whose flock of motives
Go way beyond the pale
To endow itself the paramountcy it craves
And it keeps on forging ahead
To invent a despot
Till the pawns are made and spirit's dead.

From the forces that send my daily bread
I have learned to speak the truth
And spin accommodating lies
To advance the tendencies of my ideas.

I have learned the meaning of pain
Through feelings that render me down
Through history's pages relating madness
Through actions revealing depths of hate.

I have learned how to dump
Freaks of right-and-wrong
The evolution of poisoned tongue
That plague the psyche to kingdom come.

I have learned how not to ascend ladders
That reach the realm of merciless affairs
Enthroning conceit and ousting empathy.

I have learned to say YES and NO
To invite joy and dispel woe.

My learning process is ongoing still
For valleys are deep and mountains, lofty.

My Bedizened bedroom lover
Is not a friend anymore
And what's even worse
She may become an enemy
Inside the tongue's ring
She wanted win, win, win
Ooh la la the temper of queen
She couldn't know how I felt
Deep down within heart's belt
And neither did I because
I was swinging between lows and highs
Bam bam bam bam baram baram
She knew how to beat my drum
Through the alleys of dreamy town
I was the doodad of devil's fun
Swimming the stream of throes
Stilling emotional blows
That's just the way love goes
That's just the way love goes.
I want to write
A little poetry book
Fitting in my pocket
To carry with me
With five little poems
One for each finger of your hand
Your hand that led me here
My muse
My blues
My cues
My heart tattoos
My infuse
So I will call it YOUs
I'm gonna do it. Watch me.
to lie on the warm sand at twilight
ripples of fleeting light
across a calm sea.
Stop waiting on the stars
To open your dreams
Let light be
The source of
All your themes
Hide not behind
The moon
Letting lies
Be your doom
Open the letter
Life is just a
Postcard away
No postage due
Sunshine's still free
Oweeja (O-way-ah) Live in the day
Song : Trade it for the night by Haevn
