"absolutist" poems
A **** perfectionist. You're as old but isn't as wise as an abacist. You fight for wrong, naive absolutist. You think you're much of an academist, **** dumb perfectionist. Get crazy on other's tiny errors, Then shrug off your own, Say "nobody's perfect" as an excuse, That's getting old, you're fooling nobody, You **** dumb perfectionist. Your two-faced mask is broken to bits and pieces, Yet you still pretend you're the wise one. Nobody's fooled by your feeble act! At least, not me anymore, You **** dumb perfectionist. All you boast with is money! Don't get me wrong, I won't kneel and kiss your feet. You blind others with cash and bling, 'Cause you can't live on your own. You're supposed to be my role model But what in you is close enough to be? Procrastination? Foul mouth? Wait— you already taught me to be worse than you, You **** dumb perfectionist. Clamor all you want, I don't care anymore. You can't blind me with what you have, You can't turn me to what I'm not, You **** dumb perfectionist!

Perfectionist
My life pressed like those perfect folded sheets. Married in steam and good intentions of having life together. Of course, that always starts with making your bed in the morning and filling the days with things you ought to do. I'd spent my whole life trying to be this person.... I can't but help miss the stain on my coffee table and my linen sheets sprawled across my floor waiting for my return. The chaos in my life felt like a harmony of bethovan's seventh symphony. A beautiful orchestrarted master piece I could only make the sense of. I was an absolutist. Completely content with the messiness of it all. Entirely captivated by the beauty and desire with urge to succumb to it all. The unequivocal grounding of not giving a **** at all if at least felt good. I can't help but wonder if the person I'm unbecoming is the person I should be saving.

Folded Sheets
Oh' apple of the eye Forgetful smelling rye You breath is sweet as butter An' your soul Only knows how to cry I've loved you Before you were born And every letter I've writ you I've cried over And torn Here I lay and stay Thinking there's no other way I see my friends And they say Love is nothing but something To obey The poet in his masquerade Holds the fiddle as he plays Songs of days thrown away For men of many That have no penny to pay Her smile brought wars Her scent brought passion And the way she grinned In that forgotten summer of sin Made any man that had died Wished to be brought back again Though I know life Is only a forgetful memory Does not mean That every second I spend with thee Is nothing less but heavenly See the table on top of the hill And the baby that spills With her eyes that hover still In a rotating transition That holds no rule too applicable What cannot be seen Is never too obscene She breathes the way puppets do Obsessed with only political coup's Dance with that two step trance She's the one with the lemon pants A wriggle and a right a row The prisoner's have the ship in tow Now, I know that I said There was no reason to get upset But, here I see you Getting red over a slip of the pen Forgiving fade away Absolutist abolitionist Too scared to take it, Yet, too lonely to leave it She winked at me With a teary eye And a whisper to be Close are your fluttering lashes Watch As the dew drop lady passes Every distance Is not near Keep your eyes open For soon Your dreams will appear A present of misfortune Each word a perfect cut The grass was as soft silk An end with no period penned.

Forgetting Memories
Oh' apple of the eye Forgetful smelling rye You breath is sweet as butter An' your soul Only knows how to cry I've loved you Before you were born And every letter I've writ you I've cried over And torn Here I lay and stay Thinking there's no other way I see my friends And they say Love is nothing but something To obey The poet in his masquerade Holds the fiddle as he plays Songs of days thrown away For men of many That have no penny to pay Her smile brought wars Her scent brought passion And the way she grinned In that forgotten summer of sin Made any man that had died Wished to be brought back again Though I know life Is only a forgetful memory Does not mean That every second I spend with thee Is nothing less but heavenly See the table on top of the hill And the baby that spills With her eyes that hover still In a rotating transition That holds no rule too applicable What cannot be seen Is never too obscene She breathes the way puppets do Obsessed with only political coup's Dance with that two step trance She's the one with the lemon pants A wriggle and a right a row The prisoner's have the ship in tow Now, I know that I said There was no reason to get upset But, here I see you Getting red over a slip of the pen Forgiving fade away Absolutist abolitionist Too scared to take it, Yet, too lonely to leave it She winked at me With a teary eye And a whisper to be Close are your fluttering lashes Watch As the dew drop lady passes Every distance Is not near Keep your eyes open For soon Your dreams will appear A present of misfortune Each word a perfect cut The grass was as soft silk An end with no period penned.

Pilate asked Him, “What is truth?” when Jesus stood on trial, Bearing witness of the Truth to all who heard His voice. Though philosophy rejected it, stood in denial, Still, the Way, the Truth, the Life allowed mankind its choice. “What is truth?” though, sounds urbane, superior to law. Hermeneutics of humility smooths out the field. I seem more sophisticated, cultured, not bourgeois, If it’s all a mystery, still hidden, unrevealed. So I claim, “There are no absolutes; it’s relative,” Disregarding that my statement’s antithetical. My assertion controverts itself (though tentative), By proclaiming proclamations “theoretical.” Next I try, “Who really knows what truth is, after all?” All my friends agree with me; they wisely nod, concur. Confident in doubt, with inconsistency banal, Logic cast aside, to diametrics they demur. How about “There is no right or wrong; it’s in your head!” Satisfying concept until I’m the one abused. Then my default is to judge the wrongdoer instead, Never asking, “Why impose my ‘truth’ on the accused?” “Well,” I claim, “I make my own reality; it’s true.” If you counter me on that, I’ll argue all the way. Think about it, though, because just how can I undo True belief with skepticism; how will doubt have sway ? Really, if I don’t have Truth, I don’t have anything. Two plus two must equal four, or all the rest is void. If we have no premise to employ linguistic string, Then our discourse has no point; we’re barely humanoid. Truth’s the binding to our book, the glue that holds secure Logic, Reason, plain Consistency, our common ground, Making possible each conversation to be sure, Infrastructure of our culture, verity profound. Then . . . Let the relativist hush, he has no argument. Making absolutist claims without the Truth is mad. Only schizophrenics would attempt to circumvent Rationale with their subjective unbelieving fad. Maybe Truth’s “behind the times,” unstylish, square, uncool, Maybe if I cling to it they’ll call me “Simpleton.” All I know is Truth, derided, under ridicule Still is True, and I’ll be its “minority of one.” Yes, I’ll make that choice to speak the Truth against the tide. Orwell’s “revolutionary act,” though I’m alone, Pilate asked Him, “What is truth?” and history replied, . . . that Truth, though spurned, remains civilization’s Cornerstone.

Fire inside me Try and take me I'll break you into a million pieces Maybe even set you free Forget what you knew about what you worked so hard to know Skies are cracking, the Earth is dying, and I'm just sighing inside Good night to the moon, remember that fairy tale? Oh, who knew the high white moon was lying to you? These pebbled beaches are burning my feet Everyone around me is telling me to be neat I laugh in their face and spill water in their drink Their scratching their head hard, struggling to think Absolutist minds kick themselves in the end Mr. N taught me something as well as my brother Big Ben So if your around let that lady know Tonight I'll be working in the late night snow Positive as I walk down the depths of 4th street Watching Keats break bread, lacing up his leather cleats Bobbing up & down in a purple vest made of gold Frowning hearts are lady love's true mold Color's that blinded me in my youth are now looking beautiful All I got are my hands, a pen, and a will to stay dutiful Attack me with all you got and I'll leave you dead in the sand Rush me now, head down, and I'll bury you in this "unified" land Farewell to the beats that once were heard round' the world Forget the way things were because the doom is in the swirl Aftermath rejects sit late after school with a narrow minded hate I'm setting a mental note of my soon to be release date

Eventually
I know I know what is right from wrong But I do not know why I keep doing it for so long For the millionth time I know Why do you do it too If you know that it is wrong 'Cause it is what everybody does? I have eyes too I can imitate that I can reciprocate all that Future generations can We are fine not changing this rotten world We are fine following the crowd We are fine living in these dying cerebrums Blame me For my cowardice For I am an absolutist Love the subtlety If I am fighting for something I should not be hiding behind my screens I know I am illogical Out of my head But re-check yourself if you had one too I know We are all humans And I honestly hate that philosophy Since all we do is escape that futility And choose social mutiny Desenthesize us, realists and freaks' mentality Instead of unity Please, more fatalities But it feels good, right? To let yourself in irrationality Since this is not pretty So is reality Especially when they desire change But on the inside, they are afraid I know Art cannot be political To fight against the atmosphere I know You have all the time in your life To sin, then regret Mistakes flow me! And may regret do the same thing I know I know But before you point your finger Why not point yourself too It feels good to be wrong (but not right)

I Know
It's an original sin, incandescent, an absolutist's balloon monsoon, but Eden's air comes in whipped cream cans; the serpent had no need for names. Blood hits the ice, and the dextromethorphan hits too, and yesterday, tomorrow, a crystal glows briefly, never to be seen again. The concrete tunnel is filled with spiders, chewing at my brain as they suffocate, beneath the weight of expectation. And now, beneath this jellied tree, I see the God I've ignored all these years, and I bask in the artificial glow of LSD before I realize my mistake. Because when homeless men that went to Harvard, smoke **** with you, hungover, out of an Apple, why change a thing?

Garden of Need
Nonchalant princess Hibiscus absolutist What you've got to give And what you've got to say Are two very different things A press of the lips Ten firing squads We were never ones To die on time I'm looking Into My mind Seeing the Effortless Frown Passion Is the color of Cold Blessed' bark tree Spent apple orchard Grow me woman Grow me a child I ain't going nowhere Take a while We are strangers In a Strange land Where were going No one Can Tell Bring your notebook Bring your shells Bring your eye patch Or Whatever the Hell Who needs a home, four walls, A wooden fence? Who needs a life lived With one type of lense? Make the money. Make it plenty. Take a step From Pretending. I promise It won't be that Upsetting. But it's true These times are Yours and mine You took what you need And I'll take what I need But let's try together To stay far away from that little devil Named greed Out on the ocean Circling the bay Was a grey and blue cloud Covering the day
