"agitated" poems
Shriveled & shrunken. Intoxicated & drunken. Hung over & agitated. Mild to moderate brain activity. Common sense & basic reason lacks mental ability. Bad with money & squanders financial stability. Passing a psychological mental health evaluation not quite. Kept in a straight jacket & sedated in isolation they do spit & bite. They go through everyone's trash day & night. They panhandle at the street lights. They have tempers & pick fights. Nothing they do is legal or right. Slobs with no jobs. They lack work ethics. The sight & stench of them is sick. They're sad story is lies & tricks. Not a truth that sticks. They cuss & their pocked face oozes **** Their frontal lobe is filled with dust. About telling your teacher the truth they get homicidal & make a fuss. They drive a piece of **** car consisting of smog & rust. Getting arrested for 365 × 3 + 2 counts of child **** is never a bust. Keep your children away from drunks. Some drunks get violent, beat you & lock you on a trunk. Most pedofiles & rapists are drinkers. Not religious or moral thinkers. With shingles, hpv virus, ****** & boyles. Zero morals as hideous as an ugly *** gargoyle. Enjoy arguing,  screams & shouts. Daily drunk driving & behind the wheel blackouts.

Innocence Unattended
Tired and broken, The agitated mind we caught in anger, Yet longing for the ultimate happiness; Soothing souls, Only possible with faith.

Soothing Soul
The snow leopard and the little fox were sound asleep. The leopard curled up around the young fox keeping them both warm in the cold weather. As the sun started to arise the leopard awoke from his slumber. He then softly pat his little young fox apprentice's head, "Wake up little one. A new day awaits us," he said with a smile as he stood on all fours and stretched out his back. The little fox grunted and yawned "It's too early," she whined as she curled up tighter, "The sun isn't even fully up in the sky yet" was her rebuttal to his awakening. The leopard took her by the scruff and softly tossed her into the snow covered field. "Ahhh!~Ooof." The little fox yelled as she tumbled into the snow. "You know what they say, the early bird catches the worm, the early cat catches the bird." The leopard laughed slightly as he spoke, watching the little fox stand up all covered in fresh snow from last nights fall. "Well what's that have to do with me?!?" the fox shouted slightly, being slightly agitated about him tossing her. The leopard smirked as he walked by her and pat her head again, dusting off the snow, "It has everything to do with you, it has everything to do with everyone. It means the sooner you wake the more you can do. The more time you have in the day to do what you want," the leopard exclaimed with pride and excitement in his voice, "Do you ever ask yourself why there is so much left you want to do by the end of the day but just didn't have enough time? Well this helps you get more done. It gives you more time." The little fox tilted her head slightly to he side and looked down a bit, "I guess you are right," she said softly. Not knowing what else to say, she stood up and shook the snow off of herself then rush over to the leopard. "So what lesson will I learn today?" she asked eagerly. The leopard smiled as they started walking, "Didn't you just learn something?" he said as he raised an eyebrow. The little fox giggled softly and started pouncing around him laughing happily and saying "Well yea. But I want to learn more." The leopard laughed and looked to her, "Slow and steady wins the race little one. Slow and steady. we will find something for me to teach you, or for us to learn, as time goes on." he said softly but wisely as they kept walking into the woods, away from the sunrise.

My love, I saw you in the smile of the cheeky Sun, When we met in the park. I saw you in the glow of the charismatic moon, When you asked me out. I  saw you in the twinkle of the dazzling stars, When you kissed me with passion. I saw you in the lyrics of our favourite song when we had our first dance. I saw you  in the cocoon of a caterpillar, When you slept soundly beside me. I saw you in the huge waves of the ocean, When we made ecstatic  love, I saw you in the flutter of the butterfly wings, When you were agitated and worried. I saw you in the ferocious roar of the lion when you ranted in anger. I saw you in the tub of my favourite icecream, Which you did not share. I saw you in the halo of an angel, When you showed love and kindness to grandmother. I saw you in the sweet song of the lark when you mingled happily with  my family. I saw you as a complete packet, Someone I could spend my life with. I saw you in a four hearts diamond ring, When you proposed. Last I saw you in the marriage vows, Which you and I took. For better or worse.

From Park To Altar
Better the gorillas of Rwanda are given birth certificate Within a brief while of their visiting the earth, Their security is guaranteed by the state machinery Basking in the full confidence of three meals a day, Not wary of political repression based on suspicion, They have a national day in their honour Fully agitated for clean environment By the political incumbentcy, They are now the first class citizens As the Rwandese citizens of human origin Of varied political stand suffer under agony In prisons and exiles, jails and hideouts On the run for ever for fear of their lives.

BETTER THE GORILLAS OF RWANDA
The past days have been empty and agitated and long; a never ending day that becomes dark later on, yet too scared to meld into night. The sun has been up, stressing, worrying, wondering when the moon will take her place. But maybe it's just me, too hectic to notice that the time changed, but I didn't.

"I'm just tired..." Excuse one for the silence that ensues. She listens as he tells her he refuses to hurt her ...even though she aches as the words leave his lips. Triple chocolate chocolate chip frosting is all she wants. "I didn't sleep well..." Excuse two for the agitated responses. Her best friend has distanced herself ...but expects her to just sit by and wait to be wanted again. Triple chocolate chocolate chip frosting gags her. "It was a rough night..." Excuse three for the silent tears that stream down her face. Her father tells her she's a spoiled, stupid ***** ...but acts like he's a genius that's greater than God. Food loses its appeal entirely. "I don't need a mirror to see myself..." Excuse four for her avoidance of reflective surfaces. Her mirror has become her worst enemy ...reflecting her flaws and screaming her issues. She no longer has an appetite. "I'm fine" Excuse five... and six for all the things she does in a day. She's breaking, crying, and dying ...but its been repeated so many times her friends have begun to believe it. Food now makes her want to throw up. "Excuses, Excuses" seven, eight, nine, ten for all the things she needs to deny her mask of a smile makes everyone believe them all ...no one realizing how unhappy she is she eats...but only because she doesn't want them to worry.

Excuses, Excuses
I dwell on thoughts, I examine the sum of my experiences, Sometimes, I spit out extreme emotions. I search in vain for something common. I observe the struggles of all conscious beings, looking for a universal language that unites rather than divides. I know… I won't be able to ... I won't find... Has everything already been said or written? Fortunately, the sun is still there, watching over me. Its light always finds its way to attract my soul like a magnet calming gently agitated states of consciousness…

Dark chocolatey skin bears the flag of red Coloured, a sin; these feelings are cultivated and bred So they're brought to toil on white soil Reminiscing the scent of their native land, the sweet patchouli oil. As they trudge through barren land, lost hope and ****** soles mark their path This coloured discrimination instigates fair feelings of wrath A helplessly agitated mind and yet they stand still With wistful eyes, devoid of their free will. At night, they sing to themselves songs of a land far away As they drift off to a restless sleep, dreaming of being back there someday Scalding feelings of entitlement and vengeance have taken birth and clouded minds Working on indigo and cotton fields, on merriment and mirth have been drawn white blinds. No matter how clean the records, the message is loudly heard "When looked upon as a blue jay, you can never be a mockingbird" These words passed down through generations deny them their say Day to night and night to day but time couldn't change the black man's dismay. Wanted is colour in life but shunned is coloured life This clash of colours holds no value, only adding on to people's strife So while i stand here trying to fathom out the meaning of it all I hope, someday, realisation will take down this coloured wall.

Coloured
If I ever happen to meet myself, I'd sit graciously on silence's table, And study my evolved, yet un-evolved self, Undisturbed, unhurried, un-agitated, By world's brightest gulf. ...and smile back, as I watch myself. If I ever happen to meet myself, I'd sit cozily on peace's table, And watch my wounded, yet un-wounded self, Un-agitated, un-deviated, unmoved, By world's sorry self ...and smile back, as I watch myself. If I ever happen to meet myself, I'd sit calmly on agony's table, And observe my painful, yet not too painful self, Unmoved, undaunted, unleashed, By world's weirdest self, ...and smile back, as I watch myself. If I ever happen to meet myself, I'd sit gladly on glee's table, With my eyes smiling, and smiling at myself, Unaffected, unguarded, unremitted, By world's unrequited self. ...and grin back, at myself. If I ever happen to meet myself, Twill indeed be a blessed, contending  miracle, As that's when I could pat & greet myself, In real, In real, In real! And make this fact to myself perceivable, That Our world may sure often demand struggles, And our mere existence in it, May just be negligible, But we never gotta forget To stay hopeful, smile and giggle at ourselves, No matter how hard, or harder are the struggles, As that's the precious fuel, That can truly cause miracles, In a world, Often so obsessed with struggles! And then with a grin, A sparkling hope within, I'll bid myself, A sweet, serene, farewell.

If I Ever Meet Myself
We make ourselves a place apart Behind light words that tease and flout, But oh, the agitated heart Till someone find us really out. ’Tis pity if the case require (Or so we say) that in the end We speak the literal to inspire The understanding of a friend. But so with all, from babes that play At hide-and-seek to God afar, So all who hide too well away Must speak and tell us where they are.

Revelation
pulling you through the needle eye of time over my shoulder the dawn, and the city’s scrapers sky glass have turned pastel the sun has had a great time being an agitated red eye infected and watering, pooling and flooding and drowning blinding indifferent life-giving same-time the people asleep and the memories stain with spells promises and prayers all infinite, and finite wary of sentient and one drowsy hive mind reoccurring dreams- a drive thru memory passing through with intermittent lucidity

needle eye of time
Presumptuous, perhaps arrogant, My perception of reality. I invoke, with humility, The Great Spirit and Receive an answer. Heavenly manifestations In the form of trees, Birds and dreams. My reality. But, what about me? I am important. I am destined. I am. I Regulate and manipulate My world. Channeled energies, memories Are brick and mortar For the building of myself. I build and build, Adding rooms, Windows, staircases. My domain. My center draws farther From the edge. Understanding expands. I know more and more. I sleep. I dream of angels, Of nature in bliss, Of blue skies imbedded With soft clouds, Of worlds-- Many, many, worlds-- And, I dream of myself. I wake up. I wake. I Am aware, facing A being not of my choosing, Beyond myself. Shrill whistles, Bright, flashing bulbs, Agitated bees, Forgotten memories, Woven into the Space that unfolds-- And more. No longer under my control, The earth spins on Its axis. A world apart from me. Presumptuous, perhaps arrogant, My perception of reality.

ravens squawked on that half moon night the people in the village were filled with fright a scary portent lingered upon the forest dell the black sorcerer was mixing a horrid spell winds whirled in an agitated manifest evil twas the potion prophetic its guest horror sprung from the cauldron's brew atop the hills smokey fires did spew eerie groans emanated inside the sorcerer's chest the incarnate devil dwelt in his breast he opened his mouth to consume a gnarly toad as the fleeing villagers ran along the forest road

The chemicals have corrupted his soul Agitated past all control What are his goals Where are his dreams They got scared of what he was turning into , and ran away in a fit of screams Eyes gleaming Figure leaning in a haze of smoke Inhale happiness , exhale excess dope Sip some more *** and coke Chemicals coarse through his veins Up into his brains It's the chemicals They've corrupted his thoughts And worse The chemicals have corrupted his soul

*i saw you i saw your fiery eyes it was like looking into a cup  unstoppably filling up to its brim yours, abundantly filled with vehement grim so uneasy it was conjecturing your mind gave me a reason to unwind for a little while tell my why all the pretends and quiet sighs, enshrouding whats from behind what it is there inside why do you need to hide thy precious heart with no choice but to turn itself into an agitated smoldered iron strengthened  heart, furnished like art you are a burning metal amenably hammered by many foes far more drowned with the empty souls where are you, where is the real you how did your soul turn so blue let me condole drilling poles amidst the cold rendering you a hand and something to hold I will find yours along with all the lost long hoarfrost waiting to be accost along with the alley of souls growling down the holes in line, next to mine unleash a shine, your spirit so divine let your caliginosity be replaced all be thy grace shall be embraced this time, fearlessly without minds controlling slavery cutting the negativity and ignoring life's declivity see yourself walking through the flame no more lames without the shame and doubt getting burnt stepping on with something learnt now you are changed, well-transformed, someone born to aspire,  died meant to inspire, honey you are retrofire, firing in the night sky but not as heaping as an empty pyre but as fierce as an enraging forest fire*

a single momentary lapse of memory in a noisy skull, just bones, flesh and a shaky consciousness. slipping awareness and slowly swimming bloodshot eyes. you're the teenager, the sleepy head that angrily paces the room. agitated and stressed out - to the maximum. tightly balled fists, ready to fight the oncoming storm. *'so long and good night. but before i go you should know that if you carry on like this, you'll surely do yourself damage.'* 'what of it?' taunts the little voice within the closed in, confined walls of the skull. **'it's too late. you're too stressed. forget it.'** and then there's the shouting now, not taunting, **'for the love of god, bite your tongue and SHUT UP!'** and again, from within. whispering, but maliciously forceful... **'you're desperate and pathetic. stop crying, you idiot. you're being so ridiculous. no one wants to hear your ridiculous whining. choke those words back down, they don't matter'** the violence that racks through your bones makes you stressed and scared as hell, your eyes bloodshot and makes your chest so painful that even breathing hurts. unable to stand anything, at all. wanting it all to STOP. it's not enough, screams the voice. that's another sleepless night. another night lying awake, tormented and ridiculed by a voice telling you *you'll fail, you're **** give up now before it gets so much worse* scream at the top of your lungs, tear yourself apart, if the voice inside hasn't already stripped you bare of confidence and everything that once made you, you. it's nearly too late. and the voice still spits hatred at you. always. selfish.

The Land of Nod (Hebrew: ארץ נוד‬, eretz-Nod) is a place mentioned in the Book of Genesis of the Hebrew Bible, located "on the east of Eden" (qidmat-‘Eden), where Cain was exiled by God after Cain had murdered his brother Abel; According to Genesis 4:16: _And Cain went out from the presence of the LORD, and dwelt in the land of Nod, on the east of Eden._ (וַיֵּ֥צֵא קַ֖יִן מִלִּפְנֵ֣י יְהוָ֑ה וַיֵּ֥שֶׁב בְּאֶֽרֶץ־נֹ֖וד קִדְמַת־עֵֽדֶן‬) "Nod" (נוד) is the Hebrew root of the verb "to wander" (לנדוד). Therefore, to dwell in the land of Nod is usually taken to mean that one takes up a wandering life. Genesis 4:17 relates that after arriving in the Land of Nod, Cain's wife bore him a son, _Enoch_, in whose name he built the first city; "Nod" (נוד‬) is the Hebrew root of the verb "to wander" (לנדוד‬). Therefore, to dwell in the land of Nod can mean to live a wandering life; Gesenius defines (נוּד‬) as follows: _TO BE MOVED, TO BE AGITATED_ (Arab. ناد Med. Waw id.), used of a reed shaken by the wind, 1Ki.14:15; hence to wander, to be a fugitive, Jer. 4:1; Gen. 4:12, 14; Ps.56:9; to flee, Ps. 11:1; Jer. 49:30. Figuratively, Isa. 17:11, נֵד קָצִיר‬ "the harvest has fled" ["but see נֵד‬ ," which some take in this place as the subst.] Much as Cain's name is connected to the verb meaning "to get" in Genesis 4:1, the name "Nod" closely resembles the word "nad" (נָ֖ד‬), usually translated as "vagabond", in Genesis 4:12. (In the Septuagint's rendering of the same verse, God curses Cain                   to τρέμων, "trembling") A Greek version of Nod written as Ναίν appearing in the _Onomastica Vaticana_ possibly derives from the plural נחים‬, which relates to resting and sleeping; This derivation, coincidentally or not, connects with the English pun on "nod"; Josephus wrote in Antiquities of the Jews (c. AD 93) that Cain continued his wickedness in Nod: resorting to violence and robbery; establishing weights and measures; transforming human culture from innocence into craftiness and deceit; establishing property lines; and building a fortified city; Nod is said to be outside of the presence or face of God: Origen defined Nod   as the land of trembling and wrote   that it symbolized the condition of all who forsake God; Early commentators treated it as the opposite of Eden (worse still than the land of exile for the rest of humanity);  In the English tradition Nod was sometimes              described as a desert     inhabited only by ferocious beasts or monsters; Others interpreted      Nod as dark or even underground—away from the face of God— Augustine described unconverted Jews as dwellers in the land of Nod, which he defined as commotion and "carnal disquietude"

AD 93) that Cain continued his wickedness in Nod: resorting to violence and robbery; establishing weights and measures; transforming human culture from innocence into craftiness and deceit; establishing property lines; and building a fortified city; Nod is said to be outside of the presence or face of God: Origen defined Nod   as the land of trembling and wrote   that it symbolized the condition of all who forsake God; Early commentators treated it as the opposite of Eden (worse still than the land of exile for the rest of humanity);  In the English tradition Nod was sometimes              described as a desert     inhabited only by ferocious beasts or monsters; Others interpreted      Nod as dark or even underground—away from the face of God— Augustine described unconverted Jews as dwellers in the land of Nod, which he defined as commotion and "carnal disquietude"

Hollering wind noises agitated                                                         the motherless womb. Clouds casted imprecations                                                    within a roofless tomb. One witness wallowed about Traced her fingertips along the edges                                                                      of ivory-laden walls Unwilling to let her out. A veteran seeking refuge A sheep escaping slaughter A witness shielding her eyes Only one will escape.

Winner takes all
so what, they're slobs, but at least they're not cannibals... then again, maybe they are too, although i haven't seen it... then again i only write within an empirical disciplination... and i have seen these pecking cannibals... maybe it's an innate feature in all animals, then again these chickens were domesticated, there was no shortage of food, then again maybe it's some version of a religious tendency: translated directly into christianity... poetic cannibalism is not exactly my choice of events that follow a book written by kant; after seeing those chickens cannibalise that head of the sacrificed hen, and sipping the blood, while the head was still agitated into movement by the oozing out of electric currents... you know... i still managed to eat that chicken broth. i don't understand this critique of pigs... i have relatives living in the countryside... and i was once upon a time engaged in catching a chicken,    and upon the stump of wood her head was chopped off...    why complain about pigs being "filthy" when chickens behave like cannibals, no, actually: chickens are cannibals, the corpus was taken into the house, while the remaining chickens sipped, picked and nibbled the decapitated head of a chicken to a non-existence... bewildering, pigs are seen as filthy creatures... finally, god is the counter-perfectionist who sees some sort of imperfection in his lie...        i don't mind a ***** animal...   but i've just seen chickens become cannibals once one of their own gets its head chopped off, and they congregate, peck at the decapitated head and sip pecking the running blood on the stump of oak...             huh?! pigs are bad... yeah right... you haven't seen what chickens do then one of their charles the 1sts gets the chop.

Have heaven now **** me Prior glimmering in its shade Where every fear then not conclude The stolen voices that she gave To me on the wings and shoulders Loosely agitated fogs To collapse a mist of my see-throughence Scaring blind hands reaching for love Maybe in a whisper Maybe in a wondering soul Have darkness now judge me After light has grown me old Where often so still comes the protrusion Of empty words from so long ago Along the way I've been dismantled Now heaven lifts it's mighty blade While wishing only to've heard the faintest Sound of love so beautifully unfrayed Maybe in a whisper Maybe in a wondering soul
