Code of the Wolf
ever since i was young, my gaze was drawn skyward. i could tell you the story of orion, and how to brush bernice's hair, before i could tell you that two plus two equals four. i know more about our vast universe, than i know about many of my friends. if you are not well acquainted with a pisces, let me give you a bit of an introduction: we are compassionate, imaginative, we adapt to whatever is thrown at us, and my personal favourite, we are unfalteringly loyal. however... we are full of self-hate, prone to laziness, we are escapists and horrendously easy to manipulate. i believe my horoscope today is complete ******** i do not feel utterly lovely, i know i will not score a date because no one feels for me romantically. i've nothing to flaunt. the horoscopes are saccharine lies, but, those traits? those are me. my soul is ancient, i feel the pain of struggles i have not faced, or rather, have not YET faced; i will split my soul in two i will break my bones i will give every drop of my blood i will breathe my last breath for those that i love. i spent two years of my life giving my heart and soul to a sagittarius. philosophical, adventurous. i admired him so. but his negatives-- inconsistent. overconfident. careless. he was a burning house. my mother, also a pisces, when all was said and done, told me to stay away from those sagittarius boys. they're dangerous for wary, fretful fish like us, who ask 'from what bridge?' when we are told to jump.

pisces (don't trust a sagittarius)
Maybe home, is not a place not even a person but instead a feeling It is a feeling where you can finally adapt to your society and be comfortable to walk in your skin without being afraid or scared anymore And now I'm homesick

Homesick
1995 saw the start of Generation Z, the ‘iKids’ with a knack for this new-fangled technology, Millennial 2.0, caught in the limbo of the World Wide Web development and Rose Gold iPhones. They say we’re adaptable, but apparently we can’t make our own decisions about anything. They say that we don’t care about anything except for our tiny little screens, but they forget who put them in our hands, and they forget who they run to for help when they forget how to troubleshoot. They forget what kind of technology we need to keep sustaining life in the Information Age, Caught in a crossfire because Yeah, we’re 90s kids—but the 90s never really actually ended until 2006, the only difference between two decades being how much neon versus how much chrome, and just how expensive accidentally opening the internet app on your mom’s blackberry phone was. We’re nostalgic for all the things we can’t quite remember, and half these high schoolers weren’t actually born until 2000 or 2001. Most of us aren’t old enough to even remember 9/11, nothing outside of the news clips that our teachers show us in history class every single September. I was born in the same year as the Columbine shootings. The United States has not been at peace for a year of my life. We are always fighting— fighting for everything. Human equality, posing arguments about micro aggressions and refugees, seeing the inhumanity in the past that we’re living. None of us are older than 21, under such hard scrutiny while Baby Boomers Wave 2 still run our country. We inherited the Millenial’s exhaustion, the generation before us spending our childhood fighting for all the things that we have never really believed in. Fairytales. Generation Z. The ‘iKids’ who are going to one day be making leaps and bounds with technology, the generation to nurse this dying planet back to health, Millennials 2.0 who know how to learn from our forerunners’ mistakes, who know how to adapt from Sidekicks to iPhone 6S Plus in less than a decade. We’re the kids who have realized that fun is found in safe spaces rather than invading each other’s personal spaces. They say we’re too sensitive, but at the same time they claim that we’re desensitized. And I thought we were the generation that couldn't make decisions.

You can quickly transform with a quiet resilience Remaining deeply grateful to be standing As feeling sorry for yourself, is merely an excuse To hold back and accomplish nothing Educated by the spirit of meaningful experience One can change and adapt in a flash Merely seeking out pity for the sake of affirmation Is buying an excuse to stand back You can call up the strength deep inside of you Overcome the struggles you face Stand up proudly, knowing you survived the battle Gladly take your rightful place You may appear weary and worn to the masses Yet deep within you have more fight Silently standing up for what you believe in Steadily on the edge of the right

Quiet Resilience
SURRENDER YOUR HEART REMOVE THE GUARDS AND RELINQUISH THEIR SHIELDS. YOU NEED TO FEEL THIS THOROUGHLY LOVE WAS NEVER MEANT TO BE SAFE OR MEASURED SO, LOVE IRRATIONALLY. JUMP OFF A CLIFF WITHOUT CONSIDERING CONSEQUENCES, LOVE SPECIFICALLY. PAY ATTENTION ON THE SMALLER DETAILS OF THE BIGGER PICTURE, LOVE UNCONDITIONALLY. BECAUSE THERE WILL BE DAYS WHEN YOU DON’T LIKE HER, BUT THE LOVE MUST REMAIN AND IN THE EVENT THAT LOVE BREAKS YOU, LET IT BREAK. DO NOT CLOSE YOURSELF OFF OR SHUT YOURSELF DOWN. YOUR HEART WILL BE SHAPED AND RESHAPED, BUT IN THE END IT WILL STILL BE YOURS. AS HUMAN WE ARE BLESSED WITH THE SKILL OF ADAPTATION IT’S KEPT US HERE FOR EONS, YOU WILL ADAPT.

IF YOU DECIDE TO LOVE SOMEONE
if life was like a carnival and we drove on the road like we were in bumper cars wouldn't we adapt to live in a place like that? a place where the cars crash and slide into each other a place where you shoot a target with a real gun and take it with you as a prize a place where going into a haunted funhouse could mean the end of your life should a creepy clown venture close enough? wouldn't we adapt?

It's a dance It really is Skip and prance Lifelong practice Loop of songs Never ending Of various genres Life is playing There's the spotlight World is awaiting Pressure of eyes Silently watching Take your place Assume your position Execute with finesse And flawless precision Spin your pirouettes Don't get dizzy Maintain your poise In this revelry Along comes a partner Present as a duo The game now altered From when you were solo Two bodies now Move in unison Reciprocate and reply Through steps made in heaven Flighty feet Intertwined bodies limbre Sweet little performance Elapsing into forever With grace of ballet Each other you'd catch Intimate display Think you've found your match There'll come such time Both will not be in sync Episodes of missteps Push you to the brink Alone again Or switch of partners Find solace in groups Still dancing for answers Dancing with others Much you can learn From hip hop to the waltz Together or in turn Try to adapt To different styles Soak up all you can May take a while I've danced all my life Can't say that I've mastered Fair share of jeers And accolades I've garnered Always clumsy Exceedingly awkward Tripping and falling Barely proceeding forward It's just this dance One with syncopated beats It's just this prance That my gait can't meet It's just this stance I often use as retreat I realised in a glance That I have...but two left feet

Two Left Feet
You Sir, Are An Electrician! **technocrat — noun a proponent, adherent, or supporter of technocracy.** This city boy was expert at Turning the lights on, Unlocking the front door, Putting new batteries in flashlights, And calling the handyman to "Please come upstairs" When the degree of diving difficulty was a Positive number. Also, Freezing the semi-permanently the DVR, Triggering alarms, Killing car batteries, Making laptops question Human sanity, Tearing up when reading, "Some Assembly Required!" Raised in a city of experts, He was unskilled in things electric, Becoming apoplectic, When a device had an On/off switch that ignored him. Somewhat famous he was, For engaging the inanimate, In a verbal dialectic, Which included words highly phonetic, But unsuitable for children's ears. She was raised in rural pastures, Corn fields used for hide n' go seek, Riding goats after school Just for fun, Familiar with innards of Deus ex machina, a/k/a Minor engine repairs, and Doing what he called, Making reparations. IOS7, heaven. Cabling laptop to external devices, Icing on the cake, Dis and reassembling a German coffee maker, Did not require calling an 800 number. She never read an instruction sheet Without pleasurable laughing at Japanese English. He was unashamed of his skilled Unskilled characteristics, For such is the way of the world In the human kingdom, Some of us two handed, some of us, bi-standers. But upon occasion, He would bemoan his fate, Decry his inability to survive On a post-apocalyptic Earth, Like the people on tv and movies. Periodically he would grow morose, Listless, at his inability to adapt to a Point Oh world. Uncomprehending Icons and symbols whose meaning Were wholly unintuitive, He secretly ashamed of his need for technological ****** She would sense his frustration, Wipe away his inner condensation, Climbing into his lap, Whispering the following: **You sir, are an electrician of words, a verbal technocrat,** Plumber of the depths where Few fear to tread, explorer of the head, Restorer of human paintings unmatched, Without your ilk, this world would be unbearable, Your heart's warming silk Comforts bodies and souls, Speaking from experience personal. Then, she flicked his On/Off switch, On.

You didn't listen. You didn't learn. And you wonder Why they call you stubborn? You act stupid. When you're not. You refuses to adapt. When you should. And you wonder Why they call you stubborn? You act unreasonable. Just determine to remain the same. And because of that you think others to blame. Only if you agree. Then you'll see how great things could be. Except you're stubborn. Just refuses to change. Its not that you can't be controlled. You just use to getting your way. Except you're spoil. And strictly stubborn to see. That you could meet half way with me.

Stubborn
I simply cannot wait, until the internet turns public favor against religion. In its place, the medium that enables globalization will exalt science. We will not fear being wrong. Instead, we will embrace skeptical thinking, and live according to a collective consensus that is based in truth, and not in fear. The problem lies not with your personal connection to the cosmos, but with the established doctrine orchestrated by the elite. Parables and allegory twisted by the desperation of power hungry men. Stories that offer reasonable moral lessons, but are mistakenly perceived to be literal truth. Religion continues to justify acts of prejudice and violence, in the name of storybook characters. We must rise above our iron age fairy tales. Heed the positive lessons, relinquish our fear of death, and learn to exist with an open mind. Survival depends not on who is the strongest or who has the best story, but rather upon a species willingness and capacity to adapt and modify their behavior. Science is our tool. It can save us from ourselves. It is a collective enterprise based upon critical analysis and the constant pursuit of the cold, hard truth. We should not fear what we discover. For knowledge can be spiritually fulfilling. The real beauty of truth based upon empirical evidence, is that even if you do not want to believe it, it remains true.

One Day
Compliment to the honest When others question your common sense. Compliment to the parents. Who taught you right from wrong? When you put to the test of will and choice. Just to remember to make the correct decision. Even if you done nothing wrong. If the armor truck door open and bags of money falls out. And you honestly turn in back in. Compliment to the honesty of being just you. Friends will question, what were you thinking? That it's insured by the bank, Compliment for putting yourself in their place. Cause the best sign of truth starts with you. Things you hope your child will adapt too.

Compliment To The Honest
Pain is something you feel at all times of every day once it happens It never goes away fully you just adapt to it like it becomes your heartbeat You survive off of the expectation for it to thump against your chest Even when your muscles feel like they won't ever move again, they do. And that's what you come to understand is moving on. But just because you move in does not mean your pain leaves you, it becomes as temporary as a tattoo you got when you were drunk. It's carved into your generic code and don't you dare try to remove it because it will be unseccessful and painful, leaving you empty

Sometimes, when you listen to their enounciation. You realize, just how beautiful they speak in their British accent. Every word expressively spoken. That you're mermorized by each vocal. Maggie Smith, the lady of class. Cary Grant, the man of taste. Oh, that British voice. That you might chose , if had you that choice. Or seek ways to adapt them to yours. Michael Redgrave/Michael Rennie/Vanessa Regraves All of them had that lovable voice. Then you notice the beautiful Julie Andrew. Words spoke so you see the greatness of the phase. Which we notice too in Richard Attenborough. Who reminds many of Richard Burton? Yes, the British accent. You just got to love it Similar to loving Honor Blackman when she speaks. A great difference from Jacqueline Bissett. Except written about them with great respect. Who can't admire the British Accent? Yes, there's the French. And I'm not kicking it. Then , there's Spanish. Which has more trying to learn it. But this is about the English and the various style of vocals. Colin Barker and Prince Williams the Royals speaks so wonderful. Just like, the man called Michael Caine. I just have to mention Deborah Kerr. That also goes for Joan Collin. It's something about their style of speaking. Maybe because you understand every spoken word. Which is level toward the great Timothy Dalton. And Samantha Eggar and **** Jagger. Plus, the late David Niven. And honorable mention to Julie Christie. Jane Asher, Hugh Grant and several more. Have you wishing to make their voices be yours. Yes, the British Accent just so lovable. And the greatest things about it. You don't have to be famous to be adored.

maybe the reason why I dislike Batman and love the X-Men is because Batman, gifted with money and power, chose his struggle the X-Men were forced- they had mutanthood shoved upon them and had to be crucifed as society pushed them away hiding in fear and hatred of what they must face the X-Men learn to adapt, they take what they have and choose to be the better man, or the worse man, but they take the fight that was given them and the freakery that they were born with, and they adapt. Batman, however, was born normally, did not have to run or hide, for he was privileged, and he walked, walked straight into freakery he took the burden others were throttled with and laid it upon his own shoulders, crying 'woe is me' whilst he went about the noble task of hero-dom he made himself a fancy suit- he had been given normalcy and he invented freakery in order to claim sacrifice he did not need to give himself- he was an ordinary man that laid down his life. The reason why that bothers me so much is that ordinary men do not need to lay down their lives they are not called to that future it is not in their cards he claimed his heroic deeds and choose to throw himself into the furnace flames- while others suffered unwillingly he chose it he took their pain and made it less 'see, I can do it! anyone can do it!' what makes the X-Men special is that their mutation isn't 'deal with pain of superheroism' it's some other power, but they have to learn how to be ostracized not anyone can do that- they had to their survival depended on it Batman walked into the struggle of their lives and declared himself a hero though, for some, the declaration was not in their words or actions, it was written into their DNA, it was marked in their skin by the brands of their oppressors, it was pounded into every heartbeat shocked with electricity they fought and hid their heroism their whole lives for they knew- it was not something to love, it was something to suffer with- and Batman took that, he took the heroism and he projected it across the night sky, declaring, "I am Batman", and it is something he can escape from, he can walk away, he can walk away, he can walk away, and yes, he chooses not to, but what he does is steal from those who cannot walk away his heroism takes the nails in the hands of mutants and orphans and masochistically drives them into his own palms crying whilst doing it. rather than being forced to adapt and look normal, he puts on a suit and prances through the night dramatically he takes everything sufferable about being a hero and tosses it out the window- he takes everything noble about being a hero and growls it in a dramatic voice, posing, in his fancy suit, when he could be safe at home. why would you choose this why would anyone choose this be thankful for your ability to be safe, that is the real superpower- the ability to be normal, to have a home to go back to, to have a normal purpose and a normal life, and Batman is completely, utterly, ungrateful- he wishes there were more, while those born with 'gifts' would be satisfied with even less.

Adapt & absorb other beings, needs,wants, habits, ideas, beliefs. Influences, unoriginal. Metamorphosis, eternally avoiding the raw,wicked truth of your inner soul, drop the ******* facade, it is futile and ludicrous. Analyze,compare, identify, mimic, imitate, copy,shift, evolve. Perpetual cycle. Veiled false identities and lies, layers upon layers, shirk the pale shadows of who we used to be. Shall we continue? Contradiction. Fools, to believe that one can ever change.

Amazing battery life
Life can be painless Provided there is sufficient Peacefulness For a dozen or so rituals To be repeated simply Endlessly Your genius does not fail you It allows you to understand the Truth of the situation; Which makes you--at times-- more tragic than ever And your genius, like all geniuses Suffers periodic fits of monumental naïveté Hi-ho Listen: Where is Grace When milk and blood Are about to be added To the composition of the Stinking ping-pong ***** being manufactured In Grand Rapids?

86 Kurt Vonnegut
Life can be painless Provided there is sufficient Peacefulness For a dozen or so rituals To be repeated simply Endlessly Your genius does not fail you It allows you to understand the Truth of the situation; Which makes you--at times-- more tragic than ever And your genius, like all geniuses Suffers periodic fits of monumental naïveté Hi-ho Listen: Where is Grace When milk and blood Are about to be added To the composition of the Stinking ping-pong ***** being manufactured In Grand Rapids? Schizophrenia The sound and appearance Of the word fascinates It sounds and looks to me Like a human being Sneezing in a blizzard of Soapflakes This much we know: You made yourself hideously Uncomfortable by not narrowing Your attention to details Of life that were immediately Important And by refusing to believe what Your neighbors believed Hi-ho Let your imagination continue To be the flywheel on the Ramshackle machinery of the truth.

I feel like an empty coloring book.   Just brought out the store, still in the bag and I require every single crayon in your 64 pack to be filled in. Completely. Yet you could never color me properly,  never able to see all of me, I know that all of John’s lyrics were just legends Cause we would, never have been able to adapt in the environment we were set in. I promise, we were destined...to fail. But In this moment, at least try to stay in the lines.. maybe squint your eyes ..  take a closer look at how damaged my pages already are. I never asked you to be neat... I only advised, that you at least try to stay in the lines. But really, who am I?... Giving advice, but never take mine..   Living for the moment, when i should take time I move fast.. like smooth winds, grooving through the motions but                I…move too fast              And I  spread myself too thin.     Like, weak things & wheat thins, we could never break even.   Even when I'm looking for happiness in the same place that I lost it.      If you weren't gonna color in this book then why you got it ?             I refuse to be a coloring book kept in the closet               & I'm tired of being patient, so color me in.                    Shades of chivalry is not dead yet                    Of you making my cheeks red and             Shades of “is the sky black… or blue at night?”                      Of “my love goes on for light years” & I'll be loyal like Woody, If you'll be my Buzz Light year.        Shades of“did you know that violets aren’t really blue?”                                        Of confusion.     Color me in shades of understanding, and sympathy.                                 Rose red.                      And violet. Purple. Not blue.                            Color me in shades of cliché.                                        Frame me in calming hues.

Don't forgive me because I cried Don't forgive me "even though" I lied Don't forgive me because I'm a kid Don't forgive because you could've done what I did Allow me to face my consequences Let me adapt to my circumstances Don't allow me my relapses Let me feel guilt in my synapses Please don't forgive me because I apologized Please don't forgive unless I realized The wrongs I did And the wrongs I said The crimes I hid And the crimes I fed Please don't forgive me Because I seem to feel guilty Please don't forgive me Because my eyes went all "melty" Please don't forgive me

Please Don't
I'm not shocked. I'm not surprised Not in the world of racism. We need it. God created it. When he created humans. Who spreads it? Through mistruth we adapt and adjust to it. Some of us believes by it. While others just don't buy it. Not in the world of racism. Through cultures we still to rumors. Plus, those with wealth we feel they are no help. When many uses those without to clean theirs houses. Than many of us simple misinformed. If you think racism doesn't harm everyone..

In The World of Racism
Your past is a wasteland, don't let it steal YOUR potential away Although the pain may be all consuming, you must overcome it and live to fight another day For your own sake, say goodbye to your crutches, those things that hold you back Lock them up tightly and put them to rest, now's the time for you to get your life on track Wonderful things come to those who learn to adapt, this is true for children most of all Great rewards are waiting for you on the other side of that pain you let fester, stand tall Seize control of your inner self, mold it to your ideal, and hold that vision of you in high esteem Never doubt you’ll get there, be cocky if you must, this is your future, it’s not for sharing with the team Nurture thoughts of becoming a better you, help them grow and shift you from negative thinking The mind power you wield, it's like that of the sun, it can burn away the old and energize the new Climb higher than ever before, you are the only one who can make your dreams come true A toast, to the promise of better days to come A toast, to the journey of life, in all its up's and down's May we rise to the challenge, when our armor is tested May we rise to the challenge, when our strength of character is bested Live strong, live proud, live free.  - Strive For Greatness

To the promise of better days to come
My mobile screams Its Taylor Swift " I wished it was me" Wake up folks its 6 am Let's face another hectic day Another day of terror and challenge Unlike the good old days when life was even simpler when mobiles were  not a necessity but communication still exists in close knit families Life was even greater When smartphones and computers were gadgets of the future Still relationships went on smooth and happier Life was even lovelier when Apples and Blackberries were merely fruits for juices and desserts. but still we need to strive to face another day in this concrete jungle and adapt our life....
