I am retired now
And I finally got my shirt
You named all the job
I did
It all paid peanuts
Yes they had told me
It was a decent wage
it was all *******
I had to work
19 hours a day
For peanuts
I an happy living
A simple life
With very little money
Also it is hard to stretch
It is good that I have a roof over my head
Also I have land line
And a cell phone
I need it for an emergency
When I died I hope
Somebody will continue to write
some new poems
From where I left off
I would hate
To see it collecting dust on the
Book shelf
That would be terrible
I don't bottle up my feelings
I write it down on my computer
I have a sharp mind now
What is going to happen when I am 70?
Will I still have a sharp mind?
Lots of people under estimate me
They probably think that
I am not able to do the things I do
Yes I can do lots of things
When I put my mind to it
Yes my
Level of intelligence is 63%
They consider me to be a genius
I don't give a **** about it
Because it sets me for failure
I can say that I am gifted
And I appreciate the gifts I have
That my Father gave to me
I used it every day
What is going to happen the day
I no longer have a sharp mind
Is somebody else going to be my voice
Will I have dementia by then
I will only be able to know it with time
Will I still be able to recognize my friends
And my family
I don't want to be alive if this happens to me
Because I don't want people to see me
In the worst stage of my life
So tell me who will be my voice
And speak up for me
If I can't see anymore
The way I used to see before
What is going to happen if comes a day
That I won't be able to take care of me
I will no longer want to be alive anymore
So people let me die in my sleep
If that is possible

There are wild horses in my heart
Running free
Because they are not tied to anything
And I believe that the wild horses should run free
Just like people do
But I feed carrots and apples to the wild horses that are inside of my Heart

There are wild horses in my heart
Running free
Because they are not tied to anything

Just like people do
But I feed carrots and apples to the wild horses that are inside of my Heart

claire de lune
Is shining on the water
Tonight
It looks amazing
We took
Our clothes
And we had swim
In the
Atlantic Ocean
It was a warm
Summer night
Now slowly
God started to bring
The new day
We got dressed
And we took the
Ferry boat
Back home
Summer night
I Look in the sky
Also there was
The stars also
Shinning on the water
There was nobody else
Around beside us
It felt very nice
To swim naked
It was refreshing
Now the night
Was over
And  the new day
Arrived

Stubborn man
Is living free
He can live the way he wants
He doesn't want people
To tell him what todo
That is one thing
That he hates
He is already a senior
People tell stubborn man
That he should give some of his money
To God
He gets upset with that
That is something he won't do
Another thing he is an atheist
Also he hates when people
Mention God to him
Also he doesn't have faith in God

Madre Deus
And her people
Are throwing
The the dead people's
Ashes in the Sea
During the night
Also they throw
Flowers in the Sea
For the dead people
Who died
A few days ago
Also the people who
Died a few days ago
Had been cremated
Also the Madre Deus
Are wearing their beautiful robe
Also they had lighted candles
In the dark
For those who had died
A few days
Also it is very peaceful
During the night at the Sea
We stay all night
Praying for
Madre Deus
Now the night is coming to
An end
Also the sun is not out yet
And it is also very cold
At the Sea

You tell me that I still have time
I can sleep in for a while
Because it is Sunday
Don't worry I will wake up at noon
Slowly
I am telling you the truth
Yes today
I will spend my time
At High Park
I just love nature
It is wonderful that we have
Nature inside the city
And we don't need to go
To the country
You say that I am
The most honest person
You had ever known
I appreciate hearing that
