When his Gillette slices the Cake you give And your Ribbon shows what a Prune he was It's time to kick his Sorry *** and Live Then realise he is below your Class The School Council has met; and Verdict's sent To advise the Nerds which Athletes are bane But if you give an Artist a worth-time's spent He will give the Cherriest Mood insane Try to open your Doors, dear Fruitful One For once, know that Other Hearts do exist If you can sing where the Hill's Grass grow some Then you know which Plate is worthy to fix. Now in this Picnic my Noodles grow full From this Prune-Cake made and sliced from his Soul.

MANHOOD FOLLY
Yank myself out of bed Peel the film of sleep from 'round my head It's 4:00 AM And all the world is dead. It's 4:00 AM and all the world is dead. From the streets every man has fled. But in hours it again shall be Brimming with potential; energy set free. I assemble my appearance. Staring into the mirror, I say to myself: "One last time. "One final tour." The door is open, before it I stand To face morning's faint chill Surrounded by paling blue. There! The first bird's trill. The air is sweet And free of smog. The faintest fog Is draped on the trees. The empty street beckons And freely I obey. I have things I need to do Before the commencement of the day. I pass the playground on the corner, Where I wasted time as a child. Where many a battle was fought And we had adventures in the wild. Past the playground and to my left There is the river bank Where I went fishing with my father And my friends and I made our mothers mad: Where we lit our little fires And we had our first drinks. Where we shared our first joint And came to talk and think. Our school is down the way. We all can safely say It's the place where we first learned Classes and books have less to say than the real world. We became: Artists. Athletes. Academics. Our achievements Are scrawled upon The stone walls That lined that same river. A little further on, And there's the little store Where I kissed my first fleeting love Just outside the door. I keep walking, I keep walking, Until I reach the shore. I put my back against a rock And rest on that sandy floor. The life that I'll soon be leaving Lies behind me asleep While I watch the sun lazily rise Over the mysterious, unexplored deep. I built myself in this town And it built me as well. But I cannot stay much longer: In a few hours I will bid it farewell. Will I ever make it back? Will I ever return To trace the scrawlings by the riverbank With bare fingers full of nostalgia? Nothing at all is sure. Therefore I must take this last chance To make my final tour.

A ball player and a thief Will likely be pregnant by age 16. Lives in the ghetto and is poor, Often identified as a ***** Runs fast and does drugs, Hangs around with gangsters and thugs. Has a gun or a friend with one. Speaks in slang, must be part of a gang. Mess with her, she'll pull a Sharkeisha on you. If you were to picture a person of any race, That fits the description that just took place. A baller and **** hmm... what race matches that? Yeah you're right, that person is probably black. Is fast, does drugs, and speaks with slang? Lemme guess, is he also in a gang? A young mother who is also poor? Bet she doesn't know who the dad is, what a ***** All these negative stereotypes associated with being black. Its disheartening, sicking and its really sad. And whats sadder is that if you are the opposite of all of that, You are often told that you're not really black. Does your skin colour change for going to Harvard? Will it change for speaking like an English scholar? Because I play hockey and not ball, does that make me white? So what if I'm the type of person to run away from a fight? You don't have to be irresponsible and rude to be considered black. It's your ethnic background that determines that. And to some people, all we are is the complexion of our face. Light, dark, somewhere in the middle, to some, the bad of a few defines our whole race. Does running away from a cop, and being black give someone grounds to shoot? Why is it that my skin color is what is most important to you? Is asking a question when getting arrested for no visible reason really resisting arrest? Does struggling to break free from restraints to catch my breath, give someone a reason to grab on tighter to strangle me to death? The actions of a few don't define the actions of a whole group. And this assumption that all black are thugs, thieves and liars has done clear damage to, Michael Brown, Eric Garner, Trayvon Martin and so many more. They didn't know it, but just by being black, they put their lives at risk when they stepped out their door. Don't you think it's gotten too far when we have to prove Black Lives Matter, or when we the saying of a movement is Hands Up, Don't Shoot. Should people have to be reminded that blacks are real people and that our lives matter  too? We are athletes and musicians. Lawyers and physicians. The leader of a nation. An anchorman of a news station. We don't all fit into that mold that is preset for us. You can and should expect great things of us. Because we don't have to be a **** or a baller to be considered black. We define what type of black person we are, we determine that.

My mind is playing tricks flipping into reverse, all is static, I'm frantically sadistic. I'm on the grind, shit's grinding my gears, you say my name like it's sounds I made up even in our sheets we're ****** up. The rat race isn't a race, but a triathlon we aren't athletes, we're just dragging our feet along, no ping to life's pong, this is a poem 'cause I can't write songs.

pray tell my friend what are other girls like? stereotypes only go so far and very early into your wishful separation of personality within gender individual women begin to show themselves strong women, weak ones light and fair dark, exotic hair like waves some like swirls in the clouds ***** and ***** short, long, bald or full we have readers and writers mothers, daughter achievers and creators from mechanics to doctors surfers to fighters athletes, disabled every single one worth their worth these women don't need you're irrelevant segregation don't pit one girl against another we have a much bigger war to fight and your comparisons on how much bigger her *** is has no room to be heard not now, not ever if you can only praise a woman by bashing down another then you do not deserve to know woman.

.she's not like other girls
The race isn't for the fastest, But for those who can endure it until the end. Boy like a cheater and a world record beater, On the running track with his sponsored spiked sneakers. Ready for the race and the crowd's screaming BOLT!! An athlete's little secret later on was unfold. Deceiver in the eyes and loyal in disguise. A proper pro player, with heavy bonds and ties. Not in it for it but in it for the fame, Forgetting about the hard-work, sweat, loss and pain. An athlete's little secret, later on explained. People, can you trust in the one you trusted before? Or even the one who stand among you today? Their lies and deceits are like roaring storms, And they are like animals that are very hard to tame. But they took it upon themselves playing a dangerous game. An athlete's little secret, later on in shame. They took drugs like all around the clock. The more drugs they took, the more enhanced they got. But then they got exposed and hid in shame. I guess that drugs didn't help their strive to fame. Left in the dark and loss all but everything, Can people still trust? Can a second chance be given? An athlete's little secret, later on forgotten. An athlete's little secret, later all on the news, An athlete's little secret, so much they had to loose. A athlete's little secret, once a try and a glance, An athlete's little secret, there is no second chance. An athlete's little secret, there's no more to say, An athlete's little secret, the bed you made to lay. The world once had great and untouchable athletes. Who had admiring levels of personas. Who truly understood what hard-work brings, And who went through pain and unbearable things. But there are some who stoop really low, Just so they can bring a medal home. Bronze or silver, none or gold, An athlete's little secret later on was told. Based on this topic and what I have learnt. The lost of young athletes made me felt hurt. But it's not fake it's all reality. This fight isn't against powers nor principalities. But a fight to teach honesty and give all of your heart. An athlete's little secret, a fight to make it last.

Ungrateful Sons
Remember, The Olympics Not for Politics, but sport Leaders of so many countries Choose to use this to distort The reason all are gathered To present their efforts best Not just for Queen or Country But to continue with their quest To achieve a brand new standard A true Olympian at heart It's time for the worlds people To come together, do their part We all cheer for our countries But we should put them on the shelves For the next two weeks in London Cheer on the athletes, themselves Today I am Canadian Tomorrow maybe, Dutch American and English And French...well not so much Albanian, Croatian Serbian as well I will cheer all the worlds athletes And I will be the first one who will yell When a record does get broken Or a personal best is set If a time gets smashed in swimming Or a ball goes in the net My country is my favourite But, whichever flag's unfurled For the next two weeks in London I am a citizen of the world I will sit here on my sofa Acting like I'm on the bench and I'll cheer on all the athletes But...I won't cheer for the French!!

Thirty Hours Who are these men, Do they have daughters, Mothers, sisters, granddaughters? Do they call tenderly their loving Wives Their ****** Behind closed doors?

I too, have a question. Have you no shame? --------------------------- WASHINGTON — For roughly 30 hours over several days, defense lawyers for three former United States Naval Academy football players grilled a female midshipman about her ****** habits. In a public hearing, they asked the woman, who has accused the three athletes of ****** her, whether she wore a bra, how wide she opened her mouth during oral *** and whether she had apologized to another midshipman with whom she had *********** “for being a ** http://www.nytimes.com/2013/09/21/us/intrusive-grilling-in-rape-case-raises-alarm-on-military-hearings.html?emc=eta1&_r=0

Thirty Hours ("lawyers" grilled a female midshipman about her ****** habits)
Forgive, the two Joyeous Athletes Robust And leave this Artist consigned and confessed His Leaves have matured; But Duty he must Remember the Gladness they each Possessed Now I know why I never read his Book Of I's and Me's so favoured by the Youth His Grinning Plastic took long seen afoot And his Spy's Kiss succeeded on its Cue How much more will the Hell of Lover's Fair Pour Molten Syrup to Souls, who, in spite Swallow Stubborn Sugars labelled Beware And the Green-Eyed Monster roared in Delight. Now I know why your Picture flashed within The Secret lies on your Pre-Olympic Ring.

SONNET TRIBUTE SUNDRY - EIGHTEEN - TOM DALEY
Writing is dangerous a sport With far too many muscles left to pull Not only in my body Writing is far few abstract-I cannot think in words and I cannot label-the day I put it into words it's labeled And that is dangerous a vote Thinking is much cleaner yes, for now They said that thoughts are safe yet I don't think obscenities in public And I don't feel obscenities in public Two sane thoughts a day(required by law) they say will keep the writers away from Fitzgerald's and Virginia's-Poe is still fair ground They said that diaries were safe, but we writers do not write in public But sports are played to audiences and votes need to be a-gotten and we writers express our condolences for the death of writing and the birth of Athleticism and Campaigns

An Ode to Athletes and Prom Queens
Modern athletes, strong and buff, These days are tested soon and late just to prove their skill and strength are free of anabolic taint. Ryan Braun, the M.V.P. was tested thus occasionally. He didn't seem the type to me to boost his skills unnaturally. Thus imagine my surprise to learn the ***** he supplied contained synthetic Testosterone Brewer fans emitted groans. Now it seems he's off scot free based on a technicality. He will not have to serve the ban imposed on many a lesser man. Opening day, reserve the date; Braun will be there at the plate His many fans will come to see Ryan Braun, the M.V. ***

Silver screen athletes quitting soccer teams to join homophobic friends (redneck quasi outdoors-men) who just want to **** animals angst must be vented lest it boil inside and form a much darker concoction. I beat the horse 'till I couldn't get it wrong even then the faceless desks of power endorse eugenics, pharmaceuticals, and high profile lawyers sentencing me to a life's term teaching Sophocles to an uninterested fifteen year old too busy stroking a Ritalin limp **** to star censored ladies on Vegas stripper cards.

a high school football game. the field is ablaze with juicy roses and doves. the athletes suddenly drop thier pencils, their coughing hands made of melting wax. all the trombones are falling apart, and the flute players are losing their ******* under the bleachers, throwing away secrets. heartbeats cracking broomsticks, the nuns were always hitchhikers with resounding gag reflexes. i sail forward, snatching the time bomb from the quarterback, snuffing out a pall mall on his right eyelid. the dead angel is summoned to slay the horrible hippopotamus. she is ancient. she has a mouth full of cavities and peace in her veins. the truth is a piercing thing, whose bitter tongue will decay me.

scene on a floating barge
We laugh like there's nothing That's not hilarious. We speak in unison when skipping down Cobblestone streets, on our way to Music or movies. Like magnets Through two crowds, drawn Until interconnecting. Astral athletes Exchanging tops after a game; pointing, Asking, learning, relaxing. Learning, relaxing more, pacing. When Love tries, everything becomes Dancing.

Astral Athletes Exchanging Tops After a Game
Protest it. Unless you employed by the government. Rules are totally different. If officers violate the laws they serving to protect us. Stand up for your rights to protest. We in America not one of that dictatorship country. Why? Do people feel athletes can't protest? They go on strike for various things not right to them. Not one stated the protesting the anthem. Not one. They protesting injustice. And rightly so. So fans are mad than many probably never saw the youth that protested in the sixties against a war. Whether you agree or don't. Always stand up for your rights. So a so-called billionaire never paid taxes and won't reveal his income tax forms using idle threats. The only one filling the role of kiss-up is the owners. Without comprehending, if there is a sporting showdown the most likely won't win. Most likely to be the losers when Coke, Pepsi, Nike, Papa John and host of others clients profits fall. A business suffers highly when there no solution solved. Most fans that go to a sporting event are a great majority of whites and be the ones crying the louder. If ever done wrong and need attention to get people on board. You protest, you stand up and stand out. A small church pastor rose to be great by taking on a segregated system. The only one mad about tearing segregation is who? The race need not be mention for a majority hardly stand up for anything. Well, unless it's the NRA. Even with violence in school from high powered weapons. There they go defending the NRA. And the weapons they protesting against isn't truly needed unless you at war. But they standing up for their rights. So players, stand up for your rights. For CBS/ESPN/ABC/NBC stands to lose too. If a majority of players stand strong against wrong.

obviously to think and enjoy it you have to turn your mind into a mollusc in an oyster shell, slow... slow... (yawn)... slower... then you suddenly get electrocuted! boom! now you're thinking, you're not as tense as a running cheetah, hard rock heart muscle, not too eager on karaoke of karate, you're the tortoise outrunning achilles; because the brain enables such functioning, it's not exactly an eager heart in the university of the body - and why is it that domestic life has completely succumbed to the gratifications of chemistry with toothpaste and bleach and other cleaning materials; i wouldn't be against doping athletes, i'd tell them to embrace it... let's synthesise another world record sprint in the olympics, because an analysis would mean talking about 9.58 / 9.51... and that would be as interesting as looking at the rosetta stone for clarification of ancient egyptian: owl, big fish, little fish carbohydrates boxed; and still a flea could outrun you, a flea, yeah, never mind the cheetah.

big fish, little fish, cardboard box (kevin & perry)
There are 7 billion, 290 million people in this world and I want to believe I matter. I know its a lie but prefer it to the alternative. There are millions of student athletes and I want to believe I will go pro. There are hundreds of millions of writers and I want to believe I will be the next Dickinson. There are some 3 billion men in the world and I want to believe I'm going to be HER one and only love. There are 7 billion, 290 million and 1 thousand people in this planet and I have the audacity to think I matter.

I want to believe
On The counters of poetry I dock and lock myself Then I scope on the bottles of liquors seductively And spellblind by their syllables I took the shakers and hybrid The Similes The Onomatopeia's The Nemesis' The Near-Rhymes And The Triadic-Lines Then I gulp fourteen shots of Sonnets From my paper-glass And glug a paradox Or a foil-sigh Trice, The knots Bundling my eloquence Will exonerated itself And torpidity will cuff my consciousness And the droplets remains in my paper- glass Will impel me To quest for myriad of them I'm not drunk! I'm not drunk! I'm not drunk! I Will slur With half an eye open As if the other is broken Stock on a comedy chair Then When the Limbs of time tread Will I rush to the counter Like the athletes at Olympia And hybrid The Blank-verses The Alliterations The Limericks The Litotes The Aporia's And The Dysphemism's And Gulp countless Yet measured shoots Of Ballad,with my paper-glass And unravel the oratories Of sacred secrets,eclectic enchantment and regrettable reflexes Aside,or injects the world With my rugged pins of eruditions Bestowed in me by the liquors of poetry I'm not drunk! I'm not drunk! I'm not drunk! I Will slur With half an eye open As if the other is broken Stocked on a comedy-chair Again I will rush To the counter,and hybrid The Exaggerations The Personifications The Imageries And The Caesura's And Gulp uncounted shoots Of Epic's from my paper-glass And Eulogise my steam and wit Yet,I'm drunk And deeply drunk wholly By a might that mortify me so much That I've become a slave In the awe of my servitude Now and then Will I weep and wail terribly Each morning,each noon,and each night For the great demise of myself And for an emancipation From the perpetual counter-cells poetry I'm drunk,and deeply drunk by poetry.

So, what if I told you reality is the dream. Are you prepared for the                                          NIGHTMARE? Do you want to wake up? Yes, the key is to open your mind and wake up and become one of the socially conscious higher ups in the anarchy we call Society, But with great power comes great responsibility. Honestly, do you believe in the prophecy that our generation can RISE THROUGH ADVERSITY Become the masterpiece that God envisioned when he created this tapestry of writers and athletes? Actually, better yet Do you believe in the ghost of the past that rest uncomfortably in it's sanctuary? Are we the Golden Age or are we gilded We're livid, vivid, driven toward a goal that looks more like a sign telling us we're going the wrong way. A wicked testimony. So we're faced with these two options To wake up or remain dormant To be a pawn or be a king To live on our knees or die on our feet And I don't blame you if you choose eternal slumber Because we all love to sleep and it's ironic because that's what we look forward to to during each and every day we spend in this dream -- I mean, reality But, if you choose to lay off the benadryl and take a dose of this "real world" You may find that missing key you've been looking for. Or, the glass can be empty and you find nothing but misery and insomnia. Again, the choice is yours and even if it may SCARE you Dying on your feet means you learned to walk. Isn't that the first thing we learn to do? So maybe our parents actually taught a life lesson (to our extreme disbelief) And do know a thing or two But still, we are the iPhone generation And they have no clue how to tweet anti government conspiracies and scroll for hours on tumblr So what do they know For all we know they may still be asleep and in the same cheap hotel room as us So is there to trust When we dream of gamemasters loving torturing the lower classes and pitting them against each other in death matches?! Take this match and spark the cowards Bring light to the revolution and set ablaze the darkening towers Let's have lucid dreams and rebuild the democracy Dreams and reality become synonymous and merge into each other to form a new entity and we shall call it GOD? YOUR MASTERPIECE!

When I look into my bedroom I see a shelf of various book genres that I read over and over again, when I look into my bedroom and look beyond the rest I see a window which I have seen many, many different things through, when I look into my bedroom and door ahead I see a dresser with many clothing items I will cherish for life. Above I see some of my most valuable collections, when I look into my bedroom and look down I see a box of various types of ***** which I have kicked and thrown all over the house When I look inside my closet and look down I see board games that I have played over and over again. When I look inside my closet and look straight ahead I see sweatshirts that have kept me warm in the winter months. When I look inside my closet and look up I see enormous puzzles that I have spent days and days and days to complete, when I look into my bedroom and look right I see my bed where I have had good dreams and bad dreams and dreams in between. When I look into my bedroom and look right I see soccer cards which I have spent hours organizing and putting in their holders. When I look into my bedroom and look beyond my bed I see a shelf with fidget spinners, nerf guns, athlete cards, travel games, and remote control cars everywhere, when I look into my bedroom and look beyond my dresser I see a big box of athletes cards which I have studied over and over again, when I look in my bedroom and look at the walls I see posters of athletes who inspire mes like no other, when I look into my bedroom and look above my closet I see my mini basketball hoop which I have attempted many shots on. when I look into my bedroom I see my very own personality.

Redds shine like new nickels on the dark river bottom, salmon have returned to spawn the Deschutes, navigating by primal memories written in DNA, an internal Tom-Tom GPS wired in their brains. Watching them struggle up the ladder, consumed with a drive to leave offspring, they are herculean athletes battling the current and the inexorable pull of gravity. Were these the fry I helped to seed four years ago? A Squaxin woman told me once, ghosts of her Coastal Salish ancestors ride the salmon out to sea and home again. Roe in these redds dream also of the sea, their salty eyes and nostrils perceiving spirits in secret claret-red kelp beds. The waters ask only to be haunted again.
