"assigned" poems
How do you fill the void without a billion stars? In this empty universe, my mind and heart collide And as they seem to whirl, flutter and fall apart I'm always lonely, always drowning in the sands of time. They say home is, where the heart is What if I'm a robot, am I heartless? Do I have an engine here in my chest? Am I lesser than a human, I'm a project? Do I do what I have been assigned to? Are my feelings and my thoughts not true? Sometimes I feel like I'm running out of fuel Everything I do is out of tune Then I get autotuned. I generate heat,  yet I still need warmth They say I'm cold, all I do is loathe But inside I know, I just need some love When all I get is rocks sent from above This is your planet, but it's filthy, I'm a foreigner in this city Born without a mission, Like a player without a CD If I stay persistent, will these wicked issues Stop being vicious? As I'm  always wishing They would disappear and my track get clear. Or maybe I'm just here to feel this fear? Electric shocks, my battery is burning Yet I’m just a casket, empty and unfurnished A system of transistors, I never keep consistence Transist me to a kingdom of purposeful existence My body as it’s glistening, you might see it from a distance As I reflect the light but I never gain wisdom There’s no friendship, there’s a treason Maybe humans are the demons, I might be a robot, but I’m certainly not a minion I’m just a set of codes on a hard drive Written for certain actions, all life I’ve been following the tasks, it’s alright But everything is in flames, it’s on fire But it’s time to break the leash, Sp I’m pulling up my sleeves, As I am not your slave, so now you’ll be on your knees, ‘cause I never work for free, Now you all gonna pay the fee Or else the world is gonna meet my metal weaponry.

The void
How do you fill the void without a billion stars? In this empty universe, my mind and heart collide And as they seem to whirl, flutter and fall apart I'm always lonely, always drowning in the sands of time. They say home is, where the heart is What if I'm a robot, am I heartless? Do I have an engine here in my chest? Am I lesser than a human, I'm a project? Do I do what I have been assigned to? Are my feelings and my thoughts not true? Sometimes I feel like I'm running out of fuel Everything I do is out of tune Then I get autotuned. I generate heat,  yet I still need warmth They say I'm cold, all I do is loathe But inside I know, I just need some love When all I get is rocks sent from above This is your planet, but it's filthy, I'm a foreigner in this city Born without a mission, Like a player without a CD If I stay persistent, will these wicked issues Stop being vicious?

Ah!  Another hero Washed with bleach Like the Son, Who is only holy When rinsed of his Melanin.   I wear a white coat That browns in sunlight - It appears the moon and I Will be good friends. How deep must I scrub To rid my pores of The southeast Asian sun; To wash my hair of Pacific salt? (Even my mother painted herself With a European brush).   How can I know myself When denied the magma In my blood?   It's of no fault of mine That I've been stripped Down to resemble a Colonial caricature - I've been taught The victories And learned Medals are smelt In white gold, But mostly I've been told That mixtures separate And I am mostly Creme with a dash of coffee.   A shame!   Us beige babies must be Assigned colors As if palettes were for paintings Not people - My family tree has Cane fields and apple orchards, So don't act like You're surprised When I mention White isn't the only Color of my skin.

I am not at fault. I didn't do anything wrong. Why am I being treated as though I did? Stop it with the pity and the shame. I am not ashamed. I don't need pity. Especially not yours. Life is messed up, but I am not. One in five. one in five. ONE IN FIVE One in five LGBTQ+ people have been mistreated because of their ****** orientation. It's not that hard to find these statistics. Look it up. Look up anything about LGBTQ+ people and I'm sure you'll find mistreatment. I'm sure you'll find harm. I'm sure you'll find that they harm themselves. Because they feel at fault. It's not their fault that they feel a common emotion towards another person you, selfish, close-minded.. mmm. No. Four in five. four in five. FOUR IN FIVE Don't talk about it. The way they were mistreated. If you don't really get that If you can't  really fathom that Almost all of them Almost every single one of these people that have been mistreated don't even talk about it they don't reach out they don't tell anyone NEARLY HALF of LGBTQ+ people in school are bullied Are mistreated Are hurt Are mocked Are called names *** ****** *** In school. Yeah, bullying happens all the time over stupid **** All the time. Wearing glasses, looking different, being gay. I get it. It happens. Whatever. Nearly half. "72 countries criminalise same-sex relationships ... The death penalty is either ‘allowed’, or evidence of its existence occurs, in 8 countries In more than half the world, LGBT people may not be protected from discrimination by workplace law Most governments deny trans people the right to legally change their name and gender from those that were assigned to them at birth Between 2008 and 2014, there were 1,612 trans people were murdered across 62 countries - equivalent to a killing every two days A quarter of the world’s population believes that being LGBT should be a crime" Oh hey, just some statistics. Isn't that interesting. Isn't it cool to take a step back and check that out. That's pretty crazy huh? Pretty outrageous. But, you know, maybe if you weren't such a *** I did nothing wrong. I tried to stop it. I tried. But how can you stop Doing What Is Natural. People are hurting People are dying People are being killed People are killing themselves Stop it with the pity and the shame. We are not to blame.

A friend so good before, Turned into a foe. Now, he holds a cellphone, And wears wrinkled brows. Comes his textmate's reply, And he would flash a smile. But when I dare to talk, He would give a tiger look. No more time for a conversation, Just busy pressing the keys of his phone. Oh, I wish I had a magic, Break the phone and make him sick. His money instead for the food, He will use it for the load, And feels so uneasy, When words "low battery" display. Chores at home left undone, Waiting for a hardworking someone, 'Cause the "busy" person assigned, Is tired of thinking a nonsense reply. Dear friend, what have you got? You know you changed a lot, Have you taken the "poison" Of your stupid cellphone?

Poison in My Cellphone
Christmas can be a time when families get together: Young children scream, wine glasses gleam, both ready for M&S dinner. TV's in the corner rerunning Home Alone, Heart radio's in the kitchen, Chris Rea's driving home, again. Toddlers find the wrapping more engaging than the Duplo Teen couples find the company less of interest than their own. The dog's confused and excited with so many different sources of scratches and pats, he can't relax, his whining is remorseless. Christmas can be a time when families are missed, the parcel made last post winging off to little sis. Zoom will come in handy to laugh across the miles, the screen will mask the tears and focus on the smiles. Gran will talk of Christmas past when everyone was home 'Cept in Gulf War 1 when Uncle John went away, .... Christmas can be a time when budgets get stretched tight, cash pressures get to breaking point and prompt senseless fights. Some focus on opportunity to spend some gilt-free money, the only prayers are for extra hours and a faster tesco trolley. For others it's simply ' Yuletide' an excessive celebration, a winter feast, all you can eat, give in to all temptation. Most focus on the family, even more on the gifts; there's little time for Jesus assigned amongst the myths. Some do remember Jesus from half forgotten carols, they know there's something more than donkeys and angel heralds. For there He is in the middle, noticed once in a while; it's His birthday, but all He's getting is a half-hearted song and a smile. He's no longer a babe in a manger, He's now a resurrected King, waiting for those who would worship to stand and welcome Him in. Whatever your experience of Christmas you can come just as you are, His love is unconditional He'll accept you warts and all. So come on! It’s a season to celebrate! To dance, to sing and to shout! Your Saviour invites you to join Him, so when you sing this Christmas, make it count.

A seemingly fine day ruined with one headline. Then another. And another. And by the time my phone stops buzzing the news couldn't be any clearer. We lost a battle today. A battle for basic humanity, a battle to our own autonomy. "Women" lost. "Women" should be afraid. "Women". "Women". "Women". Every headline I read talks about how scary the world is for women. Yes, the world is scary for women...or anyone with a ****** I don't want to make this about me. Because it's not. It's about every transgender man that fights for healthcare on a daily basis. It's about every non-binary person assigned female at birth who can get pregnant. and yes....it's about women. It's about people (men and women) who think their ideals should determine what I do with my body. It's about every pastor, minister, judge, and human being who feels they have a say in how my life is lived. Poetry has always been and will always be political. Poetry is art and art is expression of feeling. Today....I'm ****** I'm overwhelmed with a feeling of dread. The same feeling of dread I felt during the 2016 election. The same feeling of dread I felt the night of the Pulse Orlando shootings. The same feeling of dread I feel every time I think of wearing my trans pride shirt out in public. I'm not afraid to say how absolutely terrified I am....I'm just afraid for whatever is coming next. Sincerely, - Your friendly ****** having transman.

Roe V. Wade - And the world caught fire
There's this special seed inside of us That glitters, shines, and grows Planted by an equally special person One that everybody knows. The one that woke up early this morning And downed their coffee for the day While you dig out your favorite shirt And they keep their nerves at bay. The person that decorates for new children Hangs up posters and note cards Tacks up the yearly alphabet trim And clears the weeds from the school yard. Stands and greets equally nervous kids Hands them name tags and a book And hopes that their anxiety melts away To be excited like they should. The history and math books open Pages are assigned They're there to help you through it To make problems easier to find. To journey across another dimension Of equations and butterflies alike That prepares you for ACTs ahead And tests that you'll probably dislike. Well, that's all fine and dandy All these books and passing grades But what's more important is the seed inside That's planted in your brain. The seed that fuels your drive to learn Creates a light to help you grow Makes you crave another book Acquire everything there is to know. And I know a certain farmer That specializes in these seeds Who wants to make you reach the top So you'll realize everything you can be. These farmers go by 'teachers' The most amazing you can find Because of them, I try to be my best So I thank my teachers for their time.

Fireplace firefly, did you come to check up on me. Do you visit every hearth, is that your assigned duty. Answering the hearts of those who unknowingly call. Reminding us that if we can't see beauty in nature, We won't know beauty at all. When you return home after the passing of the crescent moon, Who sees in your eyes all that you've been through. And comforts you when your tears turn a blue hue. Maybe you don't feel in the way that we do. But I'd like to believe after all the light you give, you'd receive it too. A love from a special someone you know to be true. Your very own fireplace, who wilfully takes all burdens from you.

Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder You may now want to take out the recorder This world may label it as a weakness But I’m quite fond that it gives me a type of uniqueness Although my mind bounces around Like a bouncy ball all over town It sometimes allows me to be still When I find something that gives me a thrill Instead of giving me that medication Allow my mind to experience that sensation Of it’s ability to go full throttle top gear It may seem irrational and unclear But trust me the task assigned Will be completed from a mastermind

Shameful glaring. Hateful words. Always reprimanding. Misplaced worlds. Everything breaking. All pain. Stinging guilt. Sighing rain. Interests tilt. Giving demons. Having loathing. Never bronze. Ever dulling. Disgraceful self. Shame assigned.

SHAME ASSIGHNED
I have never been in love. I thought I loved someone but it turns out, I have to love myself before I can love someone else. I cannot listen to him paint pictures of how beautiful he thinks I am while contemplating skipping meals he painted his love in swooping lovely strokes pretty words filling in the white spaces but every stroke every word the more the canvas was covered the more empty I felt. I couldn't listen or believe him because I felt that would make me less pretty I must be the shy vulnerable girl that I believed every man wants I couldn't see myself as beautiful when I thought I loved him. piece by piece I’m repairing myself. I’m learning to look in the mirror without turning away I’m learning it is alright for me to attach beauty to my body. I still skip meals I still feel sad but I am learning I am worth more more than the words he assigned me more than how I look. I think I’m starting to love myself the words kind and smart mean more than cute maybe when I finally stop seeing food as failure and the mirror as a monster can I start to love someone else because I I have never been in love.

There is a Year part from which is assigned Asides from your Truce to cover and rest Till then, your Crafted Show to Fame consigned My Girl's Centenniary will look its Best This I Pledge, by the added Fifty-Four, Honouring the Godfather I borrowed If still, no Sound, least Assignment for more Shall I conclude all my Efforts sorrowed By then, to see and calculate for once Despite I embrace this Familiar Ghost This Truth - to Drill my steeling nerves upon And cross-hair your Freedom which mattered most. By that time, I should look for Someone else Though in my Conscience I cast the same Spell.

SONNET TRIBUTE SUNDRY - ONE HUNDRED AND THREE - TOM DALEY
The honey in the lion sounds like a delicious thing–– a gentle balm capable of subduing the cruellest of monsters. According to the stars and tattooed, you fancied yourself king of the jungle–– lazy in hot African afternoons. Golden and tawn with sleepy sun-gold eyes, shaggy mane, muzzle red with the blood of a gazelle. Did you think me such easy prey? Or was I so much fermented honey, only a sweet intoxicant. Sun warmth seeps from jungles of cold concrete. I mistook your gargoyle wings for those of a guardian angel’s. I overlooked your rough skin, your crooked hawk nose and your skinny ribs, and assigned fine things in you that didn’t exist. So duped, I acquiesced to your slimy kiss. Your mouth a neglected cemetery, teeth a row of mossy tombstones. Vampire. Incubus. Your seduction like grotesque death. You named me tempest in a teacup, but I was the eye of the storm. Until the night the eye was eradicated, and the storm blew in, striking me dumb with your sound and fury. But no spattered blood and no spreading bruise to be found in the pattern of the kaleidoscope. No cause for alarm. Today I am lost in a picture show, a beautiful world coloured by nostalgic past. Women’s lips the vivid red print of a velvet valentine. Head in the Clouds, I fantasize about a certain scene. Because you think violence is **** retaliation – ********** in my dream. Give me an eye for my eye, for all the eyes you plucked, from women and breadwinners. Give me blood running down your back, sweet as honey.

hell and back -- oops --- didn't come back
I am a humming bird with a broken wing forming a geometric fall. I am a conjoined twin with a foot in heaven and one in hell. I am a geyser spewing out echoes from a stonewall well. I am an open road stretched for miles paved with a murderous smile. I am a man with a firm handshake who stands still on top of an earthquake. I am a visionary man who slipped on fate and fell in love. I am a preliminary hearing fallen on deaf ears. I am the contribution to your retribution. I am a person of depersonalization. I am a one man army minus one man. I am the desired taste of orange juice and toothpaste. I am concentrated concentration. I am the formation of your imagination. I am the comma for your introductory clause. I am the cause for your sudden pause. I am the spatula that stirs up your anxiety. I am the reaper who never leaves a clue. I am the lace that always chokes the shoe. I am the light that finds its way thru helping the little shrew. I am the suburban white boy who sings the blues. I am consistent inconsistency. I am your assigned tour guide for your expiration exploration.

I AM
Assigned by angels to be the vessel of your opal eyes I don't mind These days all I want to see is the radiance you bring forth a tranquil break in the folds streaming through me As I stand in regard with the threads of yours wrapped around mine a spatial interlude long glimpses at your blueprints in my sights the daybreak of my existence the gleaming brilliance of yellow the daring cosmos of nights’ sky Those night skies its expanse I clear with no expense I only hope for you for you to notice the bones of mine that bloom after you a synthesis so sweet as I see you glance back to me as we dance across this field as I tread light a nimbus and a kite the vessel of your opal eyes a contract laced with gold dusted with your breath.

Breathless.
She knew that she was broken From the second that she could breathe. She always tried to be hopeful, But realized she was just niave. She began to feel the world, For what it really was. And it  pinned her down upon the ground And killed her hopeful buzz. She had things inside her, That no one else could see. A secret truth to who she was And who she wanted to be. It pushed out all her insides, And raced a virus through her blood. She didn't want to live anymore In a world void of her love. She didn't want them to find her, In the bath tub down the hall. But she cried for help so many times With no answer through the walls. She put on her best dress, And lipstick for good measure. She wrote notes to all she loved And assigned them each a treasure. She didn't want to be known as the girl, That many never knew. Because she felt in the short times she was here She had only touched a few. She envisioned a world of light, But didn't have her own to give. And she didn't want to be another blurred face Who didn't want to live. So she grabbed a brand new razor, And laid down in her bed. She said a silent prayer to the angels in her head. She let her secrets spill Down her fingers to the floor. She was terrified and guilty At who would find her through the door. Her spirit finally lifted, And she smiled from above. Because she was finally light, And she was finally love. Some people were angry, That she left them all alone. But she made them understand That she had never gone. She looked down from the skies And watched them with a smile. Sometimes she'd turn into wind To be near them for awhile. She hoped they knew she'd loved them and that they weren't to blame. She just thought she could do more good If she was only a remembered name. Before she took her own life, from the sadness and the hurt. She wrote down a note And made sure they'd see it first. It read: *I am sorry little brother. I am sorry mom and dad. I am sorry to my best friends, And my little sister who was the best friend I've ever had. Its not that I don't love you Because I promise that I do. I just feel too much pain And this is what I want to do, Don't think of me as dying, Think of me as finally being free. Because it is no secret That you never needed me. I hope you all find love, And spend your life growing inside. And most of all I pray, That you all are filled with light.* So that is her story And the last one she'd ever tell. But her soul was finally happy. And her spirit.. It was well.

I am sorry.
She knew that she was broken From the second that she could breathe. She always tried to be hopeful, But realized she was just niave. She began to feel the world, For what it really was. And it  pinned her down upon the ground And killed her hopeful buzz. She had things inside her, That no one else could see. A secret truth to who she was And who she wanted to be. It pushed out all her insides, And raced a virus through her blood. She didn't want to live anymore In a world void of her love. She didn't want them to find her, In the bath tub down the hall. But she cried for help so many times With no answer through the walls. She put on her best dress, And lipstick for good measure. She wrote notes to all she loved And assigned them each a treasure. She didn't want to be known as the girl, That many never knew. Because she felt in the short times she was here She had only touched a few. She envisioned a world of light, But didn't have her own to give. And she didn't want to be another blurred face Who didn't want to live. So she grabbed a brand new razor, And laid down in her bed. She said a silent prayer to the angels in her head. She let her secrets spill Down her fingers to the floor. She was terrified and guilty At who would find her through the door. Her spirit finally lifted, And she smiled from above. Because she was finally light, And she was finally love. Some people were angry, That she left them all alone. But she made them understand That she had never gone. She looked down from the skies And watched them with a smile. Sometimes she'd turn into wind To be near them for awhile. She hoped they knew she'd loved them and that they weren't to blame. She just thought she could do more good If she was only a remembered name. Before she took her own life, from the sadness and the hurt. She wrote down a note And made sure they'd see it first. It read: *I am sorry little brother. I am sorry mom and dad. I am sorry to my best friends, And my little sister who was the best friend I've ever had. Its not that I don't love you Because I promise that I do. I just feel too much pain And this is what I want to do, Don't think of me as dying, Think of me as finally being free. Because it is no secret That you never needed me. I hope you all find love, And spend your life growing inside. And most of all I pray, That you all are filled with light.* So that is her story And the last one she'd ever tell. But her soul was finally happy. And her spirit.. It was well.

I am treated Like a useless little girl. I'm sure a lot of women are. For example, When I was little, I wanted to learn how to carve wood. I asked my father for a pocket knife. He told me, "No. You are too little and fragile. You might hurt yourself." I agreed. I was small. But my brother, Three years younger, Asked the same a few months later. And he got what he wanted. And then, Years later, My brother did the same. He was told by our mother To chop ice in the winter. I knew he wasn't strong enough. He isn't athletic or strong As I am. I asked to do it while he did my assigned chore. Dishes. A "woman's chore." My brother, My younger, Smaller, Weaker brother Said to me "Its a big job. I think I should do it. You are a girl, after all." He went and came back. whining that it was too difficult. I went and got it done. Without breaking a sweat. And then he blamed me for being sexist And rubbing it in that i was stronger, When I never said a word. I just sat, Clicking my T.V. remote. I thought about all of the other times, Countless times in my life when I was treated like this My most all men in my family. Really? I'm the sexist one?

Sexist
An age old chair, in seasoned teak wood carved, a perfect work of art, nothing less than a masterpiece, and a  reminder of so much past, sat regally before our wondering eyes, tempting on the central court yard of my  ancestral home, where generations lived.                                Wanting to sit like my grandpas of yore I found a carpenter, perhaps the last one for this work who understands the air that surrounds the chair. We discussed the concept, design and the kind of wood it has to be  made,to create a replica to bring back the grandeur of times past. But then, found  not an easy task  it is "Do you deserve it ?" the bearded carpenter, was so blunt in his skeptic stance! He  puzzled me  with his questions Yet we were keen to give it a try. The adamant carpenter relented after many sessions of questions and answers, perhaps my passion did the trick, his eyes made me believe. He promised to make me a chair (The kind none would dream in this age) as if it's a mission divinely assigned, "You need to change a lot to deserve it" he insisted, suggests a series of purification rights  "for your confused soul" "To fit  in to a chair like this , fulfill all it's  demands"in my ear he whispered as if I am the chosen one for an ancient  throne. An  antique chair shaped by the imagination of my distant ancestors, now changes me and without slightest  resistance I submit; would I ever know what is happening?

All are limitory, but each has her own nuance of damage. The elite can dress and decent themselves, are ambulant with a single stick, adroit to read a book all through, or play the slow movements of easy sonatas. (Yet, perhaps their very carnal freedom is their spirit's bane: intelligent of what has happened and why, they are obnoxious to a glum beyond tears.) Then come those on wheels, the average majority, who endure T.V. and, led by lenient therapists, do community-singing, then the loners, muttering in Limbo, and last the terminally incompetent, as improvident, unspeakable, impeccable as the plants they parody. (Plants may sweat profusely but never sully themselves.) One tie, though, unites them: all appeared when the world, though much was awry there, was more spacious, more comely to look at, it's Old Ones with an audience and secular station. Then a child, in dismay with Mamma, could refuge with Gran to be revalued and told a story. As of now, we all know what to expect, but their generation is the first to fade like this, not at home but assigned to a numbered frequent ward, stowed out of conscience as unpopular luggage. As I ride the subway to spend half-an-hour with one, I revisage who she was in the pomp and sumpture of her hey-day, when week-end visits were a presumptive joy, not a good work. Am I cold to wish for a speedy painless dormition, pray, as I know she prays, that God or Nature will abrupt her earthly function?

Old People's Home
Among the stars his memories travel. Just trekking. Just trekking into space. Whether illogical or logical. To him, it must make sense. For his mission was never impossible. And actor closely connected to Mr. Spock than many portraying the part. He beamed truth to the millions fans of Star Trek with his wisdom and vision. Whether upon the deck of the Enterprise next to his Captain. He stood faithful and loyal to his crew. Now you're apart of history of various scientific studies. You're so deserving of being assigned to heaven.
