"convicted" poems
Lets take the day off and chill out, not stressing soaking up the lords blessings, let's go out tonight enjoy a nice meal unwrap ourselves expose our fun side peel the layers off, relax by a waterfront getting high off the emotions of us, watch fireworks toast a glass of strawberry and cream champagne to celebrate nothing bothering us Just a night off lets communicate with our bodys flirting with the slightest touch temptation not asking for much, the night is still young so juvnille, let's make it worthwhile no dollar amount a value deal of us just enjoying us do wild stuff like we don't now how to behave ourselves, radiate is our smile viberations of our laughter makes the valley's of our heart shake, sweet lovers a savory taste   Take the time to enjoy us we been working so much not taking breaks convicted to the grind like tired slaves, not tonight it's date night we haven't had this feeling for a while now, let's takeoff day cater to each other feed both of us grapes do you want to split a cheesesteak?, nothing much just you and us it's date night take the load off

Date Night
My blood boils and my heart screams to rip out your throat and watch you bleed I control my urges but just for now It’ll be worth the wait when you see how I’ll burn you and beat you and slash up your wrists I’ll do everything and seal it with a kiss You may think heartless ****** is just for the birds but I won’t be convicted, for I’m using words.

Anger
“I want!” Begged my heart, As it strained against its chain, My brain screamed “You shunt! “I won’t let you hurt again.” My heart cried, “Why not?” And “Where is your pride?” My brain mocked. “You’re built to bleed, and not to think.” My brain convicted, “Like you where built to lead, but not to link.” My heart contradicted. “Love is for fools and fools alone.” My brain predicted. “Well then a fool I am for love of fond I’ve grown.” My heart conflicted. “You are nothing without me.” My brain told, “I beat without you, as you can see.” My heart said growing bold, There was a silence, Between the muscle and the head, My heart needed guidance, And without my heart my brain would be dead. “You know I wish to protect you.” My brain whispered now, “But I must reject what you do.” My brains authority my heart could not allow, “I am not so callous that I do not care at all.” My brain explained, “I understand that on my decisions it’s your function to implore.” My heart disdained. “So you can see now why I hold you back?” My brain feebly asked, “You are the reason freedom to love I lack!” My heart finally did at the notion grasp. Contemplative silence filled the air, Until my brain did declare, “If that’s what you want, then go now and don’t dare cry, But don’t come back bleeding and broken, And say I did not try” And so my Brain had spoken.

Heart VS Brain
Evil & crime so predictable & stale. Stupid how arrested suspects get bail. Convicted when their victims tell. Prison is where some stay & are jailed. They have to communicate by mail. Sometimes their focus goes in another direction. Where probation happens after correction. Child & spousal abuse, drug use, & rehab that is no use. History repeats Wives & children still get beat. Their isn't always a Superman or Batman to be your hero. With a sword or crossbow. Details of armed robbery , drug dealing & smuggling. Stabbings & muggings. On the inside homosexual love with cuddling. Human trafficking & prostitution. Violating amendments & constitutions. They are how they are from how they were raised. If their victims could speak from the grave Or had they been saved. They could explain & describe how their rapists & killers behaved. Male & females do their time. Years in custody for their crimes. Seriousness of their offenses vary. Some educate, get jobs, or marry. Behind bars is where violence belongs. To be punished for all that they did wrong. Some from death row are now dead. Similar to the wildlife in a zoo behind bars they get fed.

Darkness Prevails
The light of evening, Lissadell, Great windows open to the south, Two girls in silk kimonos, both Beautiful, one a gazelle. But a raving autumn shears Blossom from the summer's wreath; The older is condemned to death, Pardoned, drags out lonely years Conspiring among the ignorant. I know not what the younger dreams-- Some vague Utopia--and she seems, When withered old and skeleton-gaunt, An image of such politics. Many a time I think to seek One or the other out and speak Of that old Georgian mansion, mix pictures of the mind, recall That table and the talk of youth, Two girls in silk kimonos, both Beautiful, one a gazelle. Dear shadows, now you know it all, All the folly of a fight With a common wrong or right. The innocent and the beautiful. Have no enemy but time; Arise and bid me strike a match And strike another till time catch; Should the conflagration climb, Run till all the sages know. We the great gazebo built, They convicted us of guilt; Bid me strike a match and blow.

step one: find someone with the correct qualifications. make sure he has taken the correct courses and has credentials. step two: if your lawyer has a double major in medicine, run away. step three: he is a person, not a house. do not treat him as such. don’t begin to use his bones as beams and his heart as a generator. step four: you are a person, and just because you have legal issues doesn’t take away from that statement. you are a person, not a project. make sure your lawyer realizes this too. step five: if he tries to fix you, run away. go back to step one and pay extra attention to step two. step six: doctors are bad news. stay away from them at all costs, even if they are a good lawyer too. step seven: don’t try to fix him either, even if he needs the help. he needs the help, but he’ll never actually accept it. step eight: he’s just a boy. not an angel, not a superhero, not a saviour, not a lawyer, not a doctor, not a repairman. step nine: he is not a song. don’t make him a song. he is not a song. don’t compare him to “broken crown” by mumford and sons or “ice” by lights. step ten: if you need legal advice, a professional works but ultimately a convicted girl is the best advice. step eleven: whatever you do, don’t hurt him because you’re afraid of being hurt. step twelve: don’t give him your sharps. save yourself. you don’t need him. step thirteen: don’t **** yourself because he doesn’t care. step fourteen: he cares.

How could I have been so close Yet so far away The gap in the distance is more intense than I'd actually like to say It feels like almost yesterday, where the smiles or frowns that came around Never settling in the crest we call a "face" It wasn't as fake as it was now The warmth of your smile turned the mood around Even if it was disappointing I couldn't help but try a bit harder for the sake of being friends Cause that's what they do, staying true, yes true Not saying I've caught them in a lie It just feels a little blue, on the other side I wish I could hold your hand, just to adore This, space that we once had It's not the same years later and I know things have changed Again this isn't a plead for help Just my old thoughts into an expression Takes it like the old way of written out confessions If I had to be convicted Id be in for a long sentence Like the, I broke a promise and left without saying a word, Sad how we make it seem like it was the another's fault that we're this way... Though in the end, it was selfish actions... selfish actions...selfish actions...and self-indulgence That pushed the gap and broke the space apart Id like to say sorry as a start in the right way Though I don't think that would mend the nasty tear that's been every slowly gashing We've been on the rocks thrashing about in a glass cup smashing with fruit juice and ***** I remember the sweet cheers of that kiss and the hard rocks on the bed I understand it, I do I lived in the misery of your happiness that shined through I wanted to use your opening and vent without considering what your feelings meant That this was a special event, and I wasn't just getting experience but giving it too Where sweet words never left the heart Where promises were meant to last I formally apologize, I can't take it away for what has happened But I'll keep moving forward regardless of forgiveness I don't expect to walk back into a life that I created so many problems for And I understand completely if these words cannot pierce through like a sword It's no point that way

Who is now reading this? May-be one is now reading this who knows some wrong-doing of my past life, Or may-be a stranger is reading this who has secretly loved me, Or may-be one who meets all my grand assumptions and egotisms with derision, Or may-be one who is puzzled at me. As if I were not puzzled at myself! Or as if I never deride myself! (O conscience-struck! O self-convicted!) Or as if I do not secretly love strangers! (O tenderly, a long time, and never avow it;) Or as if I did not see, perfectly well, interior in myself, the stuff of wrong-doing, Or as if it could cease transpiring from me until it must cease.

“ Hang them, Not let them go ! ”
This world, that we live in, Is not at all less. It is full of lies And a lot of mess. The innocent being abducted, The honest being convicted, There’s no ray of hope, In this world, Of untruthful, slimy slope. It is so not possible, To climb back up, Because the world, Is constantly trying, To pull you back down, In this ditch, So that alone they do not drown. This is what You have to watch out for. Everybody is selfish; Nobody is yours, Except your family. Who is always there; Even in wars. People are bad, And will always be, You have to survive, With dear ones to your support, You have to thrive. Go on, who stops you? But watch out for these traitors: That will always be near you. Looking for a potential prey, Every single day. They will treat you nicely at first, On cloud nine, They will make you fly, But what comes later, Is something impalpable. Falling through a canopy, Into a trench that is Unfathomable. Come on! You have to get up: Be strong, You have to catch up! This not the end, But the beginning, Of your story. A story, That will one day be exemplary, For all, In this howsoever bad world. Success will follow you, If you follow struggle; This struggle will become obsession; Obsession, your passion. And passion is unstoppable. That very day, When you know your goal very evidently, And the journey is your pal, Nobody can stop you, From being on top of the world. And this time, Nobody’s going to push you Because on top, You will be All alone.

The World Today
Yesterday was a rotten one For Donald Trump. What a shame! In desperation Trump has jumped Out of the frying pan into the flame. His friend and former campaign manager, Paul Manafort, was convicted On eight felony counts, although More convictions had been predicted. Then his lawyer, Michael Cohen, Pleaded guilty on eight counts And implicated the president In a felony, as the tension mounts. Trump is an unindicted co- Conspirator in a federal crime, According to Cohen--something that many Have suspected all the time. Also, an early supporter in Congress, Hunter Duncan, was indicted For the misuse of campaign funds. Do all who touch Trump become blighted? Meanwhile, Omarosa says She has many more tapes to play. It almost seems as though the president's Teflon coating is wearing away. As Trump's Republican defenders In Congress flat out refuse to condemn Trump's actions, people wonder, "What does Putin have on THEM?" "I always hire the best people," Donald Trump would frequently boast. Stay away from Donald Trump Or you, too, are going to be toast. -by Bob B (8-22-18)

A Bad Day
A MAN that had six mortal wounds, a man Violent and famous, strode among the dead; Eyes stared out of the branches and were gone. Then certain Shrouds that muttered head to head Came and were gone. He leant upon a tree As though to meditate on wounds and blood. A Shroud that seemed to have authority Among those bird-like things came, and let fall A bundle of linen. Shrouds by two and thrce Came creeping up because the man was still. And thereupon that linen-carrier said: "Your life can grow much sweeter if you will "Obey our ancient rule and make a shroud; Mainly because of what we only know The rattle of those arms makes us afraid. "We thread the needles' eyes, and all we do All must together do.' That done, the man Took up the nearest and began to sew. "Now must we sing and sing the best we can, But first you must be told our character: Convicted cowards all, by kindred slain "Or driven from home and left to dic in fear.' They sang, but had nor human tunes nor words, Though all was done in common as before; They had changed their thtoats and had the throats of birds.

Cuchulain Comforted
A mob boss for president… Yikes! That's what we've got-- One who profits from crime Without a second thought; Who keeps his family close by; Who's close to each paisano; Who looks less like a Lincoln, And more like Tony Soprano; Who praises convicted felons, And pardons them as well; Who cares less about country And more about his cartel. Loyalty is his mantra. His underlings owe him all. He sounds like a mobster when His back's against the wall. He'll rip you a new one if You ever decide to flip And prove that you're a rat, Or try to give him the slip. "Flipping should be illegal," He brazenly repeats. Without it he knows there'd be More crooks on the streets. A power-hungry bully: It's his goal to be one. Listen to his rhetoric: "I know a rat when I see one." His fixer threatens reporters And does the boss's bidding. But when he seeks revenge, The boss isn't kidding! Driven by ambition, Egomania and greed, He lets mob ethics guide him To always take the lead. He's the kind of guy You read about in books. Watch how he surrounds Himself with other crooks. Those who cooperate With law enforcement will find That he retaliates If ever he's maligned. Top decision maker, He gets such a thrill Promoting or demoting Anyone at will. Having a no-good mob boss As leader strikes a nerve Because it's hard to accept That that's what we deserve. -by Bob B (8-25-18)

The Mob Boss
Holding me firm, I can feel it incarcerating me. With my ankles bruised from carrying the same heavy chains, day by day. Chains, that will keep hurting my ankles with every step I take. I can hear them squeak, tearing my tympanum with every drag. Reminding me remorselessness that I am one more slave. Working under its rules, shaping my life with my every breath. Punishing me with all my memories and rewarding me with an unknown future. At night it laughs spitefully seeing that it has caught me in its timeless web of an insomniac hex. And in the morning it plays the same joke seeing that it has caught me in an eternal doze. I wake up , following the ritual it has for me, slapping me in the back with its whip declaring its power over me, as my owner. At 7:00 am  I wake up indoctrinated by a false faith" Thank You 'God' for this new day ( I thank a 'God' I do not know a 'God' I do not follow)" I suddenly feel confuse.   7:30 am; I shower. 7:40am; I choose my outfit, one in particular that will disguise my insecurities. 7:50am; I  have breakfast. My palate already knows the taste, and it protests intensely for a new tang. 8:00am; I walk out of my house, feeling the wind through my body silencing the cacophony of the chains and the beeping of the time clock they hold. With every beep, I realize I can be late. I rush. 9:00am; I start my ritual, managing papers in an office full of sick people, just like me.  Moored by their own chains to their own sorrows, with different time clocks and slaved by the same owner. 4:00pm; I plead it to go faster, to show me mercy. It laughs. 7:00pm; It frees me from my work routine, I thank it before it slaps me in the back again. 8:00 pm; I'm home the chains feel looser now, and I have a break. 9:00pm; I eat dinner same flavor, my palate prepares to taste the same. 10;00pm; It orders me to go to bed, to laugh again about by insomnia and wake me up with no pity. It doesn't care about what I need, I go under its rules. It threatens me everyday with my memories and it frightens me with an unknown tomorrow. And, I only have 24 hours each day,60 minutes in each hour and 60 seconds in each minute to do what the calendar of life has for me . I was convicted with a human felony, and I am currently serving a life sentence in this time machine. I am cursed by time and my challenge is to defeat procrastination and monotony.

Ferry Me Ferry me, but once more. The last ferry rides of Indian Summer, Always arrives on schedule which is Always and precisely, too soon. Then, the imprisonment months, Sentence, indeterminate. *A Grand Jury trial of months, I, and my co-defendant, My sanity, this time, the Oddsmakers say, Won't survive the lockup. The source perfume of driftwood words, Very ferry distinguishing marks, Sails and seagulls, diesel fumes and saltwater, Sunsets and seagrass, flying fish and multi-mollusks, The stuffing of my summer turkey, the currants of Poems and dreams, sad-eyed longings... Now, Evidence used by prosecution, Confession freely uncoerced, I Am A Summer Man Adjudged and convicted, Guilty of Winter's Discontent.* But it is these last few passages, Not of words, but over water, The absence thereof, crush, ravage, Worse than any grey calendar captivity, Forlornly, I mouth silently, repeatedly, Ferry me, but once more. The course, straightforward, Voyager, but a few minutes, but long enough to Love it deeply, need it like a fix, The mania of the mainland left behind, The island, thinly lit, more shadow than real, The approaching dark, shelters, comforts, embraces. Perhaps, likely, I deceive myself. No matter how the island comforts, The brain always rumbling, Can never make stop questioning, Prisoner of 24/7, But it is lessened, left behind, As I am ferried away both, In body and in mind.

His Cutlery—he keeps Within his Russer Lips— To see it flashing when he dines Do Birmingham eclipse— Convicted—could we be Of our Minutiae The smallest Citizen that flies Is heartier than we—

A Saucer holds a Cup
I keep on telling the truth, You know, like you never do. I call you by name and say All I say about you is true. I wrote poems about you, What the hell do you want? You ignore all I have said You ignore all my taunts. I want you to sue me Then with proof that you lie The world can finally rest And bid you goodbye As they drag your fat *** Off to Leavenworth jail Where you won’t have Twitter, Internet or even email. I hope you get convicted As the Corrupter In Chief Because you are nearly The worst kind of public thief. You steal from the poor And have kidnapped children, And you  think your cowardice Is a secret and is hidden. Daily I hope someone intelligent Will go sue you for defaulting On the promises you made us That have been obviously insulting. You broadcast your hatred for us if we Are not rich, perverted Republicans. Now you are reversing all the good That decent people have done. I am ashamed of the millions Who act like you are Jesus When it’s as plain as your nose You are like an obese Rhesus. I’m sorry so many people are nuts, Too weak-minded to recognize What an ugly fate for America You are unveiling before their eyes.

tRUMP, I CALL YOU OUT!
Custody, first a checkerboard of red and white squares trapped between thick black bars. Days of the week, prisons, and I was wrongly convicted. My fingers reach for help through my metal cage, yet only receive paper cuts on the corners of divorce letters. Letters drowned in blood bleed off the page and stain my Saturdays and Sundays. Custody, now neatly separated into red and white columns, walls dividing weeks and weekends. National borders barricade one house from the other. Two countries clash in a war waged with two atomic blasts burning my culture into ash white as paper. Custody, the absence of red and the erasure of my father from the calendar taped to my mother’s refrigerator, and I’m frozen in place. Custody, a vast snow-white plane: One step forward, nothing in my future. One step backward, blizzards in my past. Custody, ground made of paper so thin, with every step, life crumples under my feet.

Custody Calendar
Complex innards of the female form, Unrealised by the male definition of the world. Intensity grabs a hold, Locking me harshly onto the cracks in-between. There's no such thing as enough. More and more till faces are torn. Slit in two. Sown up. Slit in four. Sown up. And so on. There's no needle, skin, key. All useless paraphernalia. Inserted into the flesh, Then poured out at death. Empower myself with the force of control. Uncontrolled self-control  lost to control of others. Sunken by unwanted wanting of the sub-conscience. Never to be fixed or forgotten, Just left lingering in the abyss, Eating away at you as you distaste yourself. Visitations upon our corrected correctors, Bringing solace for short periods. Thrown fiercely under the bed to be forgotten again. Convicted to lives of self-mutilation, Self-deprivation, self-contemplation. Hidden behind glistening eyes, just lies. Stand, sit in ****** lanes peering up at the moon. Lungs slowly growing blacker, laced with tar. Hindsight is a curse, ignorance-bliss. All held inside a shaking fist, shaking unwillingly. Unwillingly shaking, kicking walls To knock down, insane with powerless power. Unhinged, unattached. Inside, growls to torture. Outside, smiles to assist.

Tales marketed at the edge of all existence, formulated by mass hysteria and poverty spit from the grinded ideals of our fathers but our fathers were twisted and aged- but our mothers, our mothers whom were convicted as the criminally insane and held at a lower standard knew the future, they knew we would crumble, that we must crumble. For it has been predicted since ancient times that mankind would fall but the fall was blamed on Gods and those of a higher power because they could not believe that man would wound himself, slowly poison himself until he drags his black and blue skin across the lands and eats all he sees, gorging himself till he bursts and drowns our cities in his impurities. Funny, built like monkeys we are fools, but more to the liking of our pink skin we are pigs at heart

Norwegian Blue Fox
IN MEMORY OF EVA GORE-BOOTH AND CON MARKIEWICZ THE light of evening, Lissadell, Great windows open to the south, Two girls in silk kimonos, both Beautiful, one a gazelle. But a raving autumn shears Blossom from the summer's wreath; The older is condemned to death, Pardoned, drags out lonely years Conspiring among the ignorant. I know not what the younger dreams -- Some vague Utopia -- and she seems, When withered old and skeleton-gaunt, An image of such politics. Many a time I think to seek One or the other out and speak Of that old Georgian mansion, mix pictures of the mind, recall That table and the talk of youth, Two girls in silk kimonos, both Beautiful, one a gazelle. Dear shadows, now you know it all, All the folly of a fight With a common wrong or right. The innocent and the beautiful. Have no enemy but time; Arise and bid me strike a match And strike another till time catch; Should the conflagration climb, Run till all the sages know. We the great gazebo built, They convicted us of guilt; Bid me strike a match and blow.

The Winding Stair And Other Poems
Oh, if we live by public opinion. Then many of us would be convicted cause of an accusation. Evidence wouldn't be required. We be required to answer questions. Just to prove to others rather we are innocent or guilty. Just because, it has been said. Don't mean its true. Just because it has been told. Don't be its so. Many has been torn apart in the press. Investigated and bully by reporters to confess. But, what if? The situation was directed back upon them. Remember even they has a past filled with scandals. We are consider innocent until proven guilty.. The evidence must be shown. And level correctly for a conviction. And if you are not sure. Watch what you mention?

Innocent Until Proven Guilty
I am the definition of a sinner. This is the life Where no one is crowned a winner. I'm buried alive, too tired from the struggle that I survive. I get pulled over no matter how fast or slow I drive.   They get paid to take me out of this world either I'm convicted, dead or exiled for life. But I stay true to wherever I ride. Because I got certain standards I  have to abide. I'm not slippery but I slip out the back just so I can run to go hide. I'm not a sellout, so I won't surrender my pride. I'm just a product of uncle sams factory distribution line. I live in this box that reads "pure evil, nothing good of his kind". They put me on your local news and they keep pressing rewind. So society has a basis to punish me so their ego is fine. Every night that you eat with your family, in prison is where I dine. I suffer from nightmares of living the american dream. Then I wake up and look down at my hand holding this knife. I only wanted to live happy and construct a real meaningful life.   My heart bleeds for my beautiful children. I'm badly wounded inside by searching for this nonexistent philosophical wife. Some might say it was caused by pure negligency, but I fought for this freedom, revealing my true legacy.
