I’m weak when I need to be strong
I’m lost and I need to be found
I despair and I cannot find hope
I reach out and nothing is there
I offer and no one accepts
I cry out but no one is near
Spirit in pain I stagger along
The sound of my weeping
Becomes my theme song

Nixon’s enemy list was
The Kindergarten primer
For the list that starts today.

America will now get what it voted for-
What it wanted more than decency.
It will unfold for 200 weeks.
Wish I didn’t have to be here to watch.

We are running out of oxygen
We're running out of oxygen
And yet we don't care
About the plight of the next gen
We **** the trees
We pollute the waters
We destroy insects and bees
To technology Man caters
We are running out of oxygen
We're running out of oxygen
And yet we don't care
For we are just greedy Men
Who don’t know when
To care about oxygen

Itch
Scratch

A rash calf-

It took years for
The bark to spread-
Leg-trunk-head

Til roots sank from
Foot soles to
Molten core of iron-

For limbs to sprout from
Eyes-ears-mouth to
Foliate-

For boy to man
To grow-

Begin rustling

To speak or
Scream into the
Howling wind

You’re nearly there,
take a deep breath,
and breathe.
Thursday arrives,
it may be hard to believe,
but, there is not far to go.
So, soldier on,
Forward march!
Saturday is over
tomorrow’s hill.

I woke up to a shrill scream,
I wondered if it was a dream
But it was only my wife screaming
At the sight of a spider invading
I ran towards her immediately
To **** it instantly
But she would not have any of it.
She just wanted me to take it out
For she was a merciful lady
And so I did take it out
To a place ever so shady.
We quickly drowned a few drinks
Within a matter of a few blinks
And I got to know him better
Even though he was a web building spider.
I found him to be a nice guy.
To be friendly I did try
He said he was a web designer
And we parted ways with a promise
To meet up sooner than later
