Technology, Technology It runs our lives From the alarm to the evening TV Just count your sheep in the hopes of a six hour sleep Dragging, pushing, poking and grinding All for what? A day where we swing away? Reminise and rewind our lives gone astray All our friends are easily connected So why do we feel so alone Looking for love on a computer screen We’re all ******* with the naturalist gene Nature’s monitored via tv screens With copious numbers of LCD’s, CD’s, Mp3’s to sail the seas Heaven forbid the ******** sneeze That’s technology you can’t see.

Route 84 would not lend me the light of a star last night Radio blazing at 75 mph nonsense noise to chew gum by Crackling political commentary Static of distance and thick clouds Invisible mountains blocking Memories seeping through the cracks coating the music in a film I rub my eyes watch myself punch alert buttons But it’s the angels’ jukebox tonight Roll down the window Watch the heat escape Summer again I am building a castle of ancient stones pulverized by relentless tides Dragged across maps by mastodons and mammoth glaciers The scouring hiss the ocean sighs Time has lulled these smoothly rolling them in the softest hands of sand and gels of life’s comings and goings tenderly tumbling in the millionth moonrise— Time deposits them here wet and glistening For the girl with the plaid two-piece to gather Shoulders sun-burnt barely say one week only, one week of the fifty two “It’s the time of the season…” and daddies on the beach are watching…. She has chosen yet another stone And the castle continues— in oblivion to all but her legend…      The queen will be safe here      from the rabble      The disgraced Tristan will surely seek her      Among these lofty cliffs      Between the raging circuit of the tide      Here winds forbid the vengeful mob      Here lovers learn      the debt of love’s bad timing      “Drink ye all of it!”      --the potion that assigns our sorrow….      She will not sleep—      while I chew this gum--  GUM? Roll down the window! Angels escape with the heat Waking me with the brush of their wings As that eighteen-wheeler hugs my flank And leans on the horn Lights flashing Rude rumbling under right tires Tantrum of snow In the draft of mass and velocity …and the angels? They’ve chosen another good one! They must’ve liked the 80’s Their wings slapping the windshield madly   Their hands steady the wheel

The private gun salesman divine savior of our life, liberty, and pursuit of happiness! Washes his own hands of the matter, he has no need for Mary Magdalene, divine ********** hippie. Arms outstretched he sacrifices his own collection (for a sum of course) for the anonymous benefit of a person who "seems alright". They aren't Mexican or Black after all! Or God forbid, Indian! What would we do without that Just defender? Our private gun salesman, divine savior of America.

The Gun Salesman
I have a disability Because it is lack of memory Others refuse to accept it is The way my mind shall be After testing my memory The PhD of Neuropsychology Agreed that I suffer with Cognitive impairment, MCI My forgetfulness is here to stay With me until I die Yes, I can exercise my brain It may help a bit, still I will forget So just accept it!! PLEASE QUIT Telling me to exercise my brain I know my limitations best, oh Yes! Everyone telling me to try to remember is really what Drives me insane!!!

My dad says that my generation lacks common sense, but millennials are well on our way to being the most educated generation ever. We're demonized for idolizing Beyonce' and Nicki Minaj, but wasn't the generation before us obsessed with a heroin-addicted cynic who did nothing to improve the world? The number of people with eating disorders, depression, and anxiety are higher than they've ever been. But lord forbid we take a ******* selfie and love ourselves for that brief moment. My generation may not be perfect, but old people's complaints about us are getting really old. After all, they're the ones that ****** everything up for us in the first place.

They say Tiptoe through the tulips But where did they say Smash through The violets That are blue Like my heart Or the roses That are red Like the blood Pouring out. When did they say Make sure to crush The sunflowers Once golden Like my future But tiptoe Through the tulips Heavens forbid They come to harm.

Tiptoe Through the Tulips
Excuse me, sir, your pants are on fire. Yes, i am talking to you, sir. This is quite a mess you have made, you starry-eyed dreamer. Not that it was perfect in the beginning. Nothing is. When my grandfather got old, he made sure to dress well. If he was to die on any given day, he intended to do it in his Sunday best. My grandfather died in a unisex hospital gown. When i was growing up, Mom always made sure i wore clean underwear. It would be shameful to die in ***** ones. Speaking of growing up, i was raised on Reaganomics. It doesn't matter which side of the aisle you stand on these days, because Reagan defeated communism through the clever use of money. When my grandmother was set to pass, she faced the changing seasons with poise and dignity.  She was ready to move on, to reunite with loved ones lost. My grandmother died in a unisex hospital gown. My best friend, Peter, didn't put much stock in appearances. He was funny and sarcastic. We all loved him like a brother.  Peter's mom buried him in brand new Ecko gear.  He died in boxer shorts on the floor of a ramshackle apartment blue in the face from a ****** overdose. Thank god none of these people will ever need healthcare. Mr. President, sir, i am no Republican. i am an American. You do remember us, don't you? How silly of me...of course you don't. You were busy watching your legacy. i would have watched it better, if it had been my name at risk. My name is all i have. When Bill Clinton was president, he lied about getting a ******* But we forgave him. It was just a ******* It's not like it was our privacy or healthcare at stake. Or our economy. Have you dreamed about any of those things, sir? Or just your legacy? Who knows? How well do we ever know anyone? Christmas is right around the corner, and i and others have made you a fine gift, a lovely suit. It's invisible. You probably won't notice. No matter... one day you will have to remove your flaming pants. To try on your new suit. Or, god forbid, to put on a unisex hospital gown. And then you will finally see your legacy.

My hijab protects me. Dear america, I am not a terrorist. Dear america, I am not oppressed. Dear muslim men, I won’t submit To what you think is appropriate For me to do, as a woman Dear muslim women, we need each other. This is a sisterhood. We have to stay strong. To whom it may concern God forbid I remove my hijab But if i ever do, it’s not your place To attack me To act like I’m less Because of it. To everyone watching and reading My hijab is a protection My hijab is a symbol of faith My hijab is an easy ID, I am a Muslim. My hijab is a big part of who I am But again, it does not define me.

This is to every sour patch kid That ever tried to be cool by going off the grid But you’re only as cool As that mouth behind your cig And the thoughts you numb with aspirin I think we all know It’s sour Then sweet But not before it’s gone So keep it in your mouth a little longer And then maybe Just maybe We won’t cry every time the bag is empty And the lights turn out And all we have left are those little grains of sour That we still eat anyway This is to every sour patch kid That ever wrote “I love you” on your eye lids Then fluttered your lashes But closed your eyes for too long Too long to see that the party was gone And that you were the only one still pretending to have fun Lets for a minute pretend that The red ones aren’t just Swedish fish with a little bit of tang And that the slang you throw in there Doesn’t make your words anymore true But were all gonna scream it anyway Then maybe Just maybe when we’re screaming We’ll forget how to talk And have to use our hand to say more than Flipping the bird ever could This is to every sour patch kid That only did what they did Just to say that they could What society forbid Well this is how it ends The bag in which you so snugly live Is ripped open with teeth And when that happens You’re gonna fly in between the Gear shift and the seat And then maybe Just maybe The hand will be skilled enough to get you out If you’re lucky enough they even look But even as messed up as that is Or even as wasted as Kesha is She has a point We are who we are Sincerely, The Breakfast Club

They say having good friends is like winning the lottery, Well who gave me a fake winning ticket? Every friend that comes and goes is just a mockery, Of my undying kindness even for those who don’t return it. Is it dumb to believe in the phrase “Best friends forever”, Or am I just stuck in my 2002 kindergarten playground? People seem to drop me like a bird sheds a feather, And I am unwillingly isolated by the time I am found. I was not aware that friends were like snacks in a vending machine, Picked and chosen when it is most convenient for you. I guess I am the little pack of crackers stuck in between, The chips and the Mountain Dew. God forbid that machine runs out chips and drinks, Because then you may have to settle for my boring ******* *** And maybe for once it actually won’t be a jinx, But it’s too late I am no longer a convenience so I shall pass.

Friendship
Please don’t call me beautiful when your hands are between my legs, and god forbid you say it as a seg-way between you’re so hot and my caution, your response you’re sure you don’t want to? I’m pretty sure the way my body looks, nineteen and stress-infused with an Oreo belly isn’t really what you pictured beneath my blouse, and I’m positive you didn’t listen to the story about my dad and the bad prom dress because you cared. It was just sentiment. You said it was beautiful, but really you wanted me to believe the act like a description in the Playbill and ride that trust all the way until the curtain dropped. Please don’t call me beautiful when the word ******* is before it or if we are ******* because making love is for married couples and you don’t even want me sticking around for the ****** sunrise that peers underneath your shade every morning. Tell me I’m beautiful when I’m crying— crack me open and watch the colors bleed like a painting that hasn’t dried. Admire the light that peaks through the clear parts like a windowpane, no blinds. Tell me I’m beautiful when I’m laughing, when I’m reading my favorite part of a book, when I’m stuffing my face with peanut-butter pretzel bites and I haven’t washed my sheets in weeks, and I’ll know you can’t be lying because I’ve listened to the waves your heart makes when you’re sleeping and I’ve called your smile to the surface many times when you’ve tried to deflect it back inside. You’ll know that and you’ll know I’m beautiful.   Call me beautiful when you’re not even trying. Call me beautiful when you’re by yourself and the smell of my hair is still on your pillow, or the memory of how dumb I sounded singing my favorite song breaks your heart back to the best little pieces.

Let me do my work each day; and if the darkened hours of despair overcome me, may I not forget the strength that comforted me in the desolation of other times. May I still remember the bright hours that found me walking over the silent hills of my childhood, or dreaming on the margin of the quiet river, when a light glowed within me, and I promised my early God to have courage amid the tempests of the changing years. Spare me the bitterness and from sharp passions of unguarded moments. May I not forget that poverty and riches are of the spirit. Though the world may know me not, may my thoughts and actions be such as shall keep me friendly with myself. Lift my eyes from the earth, and let me not forget the uses of the stars. Forbid that I should judge others lest I condemn myself. Let me not follow the clamor of the world, but walk calmly in my path. Give me a few friends who will love me for what I am; and keep ever burning before my vagrant steps the kindly light of hope. And though age and infirmity overtake me, and I come not within sight of the castle of my dreams, teach me still to be thankful for life, and for time's olden memories that are good and sweet; and may the evening's twilight find me gentle still.

A Prayer — Max Ehrmann
So I heard once that there’s always some gnarly looking carrot in every bag of carrots and you’re supposed make a wish on it if you get it. But I didn’t have a bag of veggies I had a jar of Gumby and Poki shaped gummies. Finally the day came when there were only two Gumbys left. One was bent in half and smashed together and the other looked as all the rest had. I pulled out the sad little gummy and made a wish like it was some ugly carrot. I wished my crush would kiss me, And giddily I walked to a coffee house because I was hoping he would be there even though I sternly told myself that he had no reason to be there. I found the coffee house closed and knew my wish wasn’t happening that night. I talked with a friend about my woes and she confessed her heartache. We smiled and laughed and died just a little on the inside. We had hoped that in college we wouldn’t feel like middle school girls with unrequited crushes. The next day he dropped off a fish (and this is no euphemism or pretty poetry slang, I opted to fish-sit while he went home for break). After he left, and feeling more than silly I took out the last Gumby and pretended. I pretended that it was every wish on a boy I had made since I realized boys weren’t completely disgusting. On my way to class I held the little gummy in my frozen, clenched fist and wished that’d he’d kiss me before he left. I made it really specific because every movie I’d ever seen with genies in it had taught me that specifics were key to avoiding mishap and mayhem. Obviously, it didn’t come true. And I feel like I’m back in middle school, wishing on ugly carrots and stars that look suspiciously like airplanes. Everyone has crushes, and still more wishes. Why I thought at the age of nineteen when the glamour of Disney-endings and romantic-comedy plots had tarnished to realism, that a Gumby gummy prayer would come true, well I’m not entirely sure. Maybe it’s no matter how old you are there are always ugly carrots and shooting stars and fast airplanes and romantic comedies and gummies in the shape of kids’ show characters. Maybe no matter how disappointed I am there will always be unrequited crushes and genies for wishes and God for prayers and heaven forbid hope.

115 days clean
Welcome to our society. Where the teens are depressed, And the students are stressed.. Where people will hate you, For what you wear and your weight.. Where there's only *** no hugs, And there is no candy just drugs.. Where we cut form an escape, And the parents beat and **** Where laws forbid people of  being gay, And everything is weary and grey... So I hope you enjoy your visit with society, Just try not to get depressed and anxiety..........

A pen is not a tool, it is an instrument, and it does not do for an instrument to be cheap or poorly made. If I have a choice, it will be expensive Ink, not gel. God forbid a ballpoint Bic. No. It will be the kind of pen that makes you want to write, even when you have no idea what it will be about; Write, not for the flow of thoughts to pen to paper, but for pen to hand to brain, the sensation of the tip smooth across white ****** paper swimming up your arm. Handwriting that is usual jerky and of questionable legibility morphing into a graceful scrawl I would have the kind of pen that rips the words out of me, if I had my choice. The pen a bow, the paper a cello. The notes pouring, spilling, becoming, composer unsure of where they come from but suspecting some deep, secret crevice inside them only touchable by the finest instrument that they can imagine. A pen like the head of an infant in your palm, so soft and inexplicably right that you want to hold forever, because it feels like it belongs in your hand; cradled plastic as pleasant as downy hair And with such a pen I will write and write, at the start hardly aware what these words will weave. A portrait of an artist, genius or insane? And the ideas will unravel until it becomes more than sensation, the meaning bigger than paper and pen. Finally, at last.

ode to pen.
That day, something got into me. Approaching the corner of 155th and Broadway on the Upper West Side, my friend and I were only a block from home. Either we'd been on a mission for candy necklaces or bubble gum cigars, from the place where the guy was always grumpy, never actually scary, and the sawdust on the floor, the real cigars in fancy boxes, were something to wonder about. Or we had just scored our first fresh sugar canes, one each, and much taller than either of us. The kindly Puerto Rican green grocer, proud of his new shop, hoped we'd try the plantains too, getting a kick out of our delight in what he'd always known. The light was red, and we weren't in a hurry. I just got curious about this trap door on the side of the old cast iron signal post, and decided to see if it would open... and it did. Smiling to myself, an uncommon, delicious sense of mischief lighting me up inside, I calmly flipped a switch. Instantly, all four lanes of traffic, heading north and south on Broadway came to a screeching halt. The feeling of power was intoxicating. And unforgettable. Had I been an older kid, had the policeman who happened by been less lenient, had anyone, God forbid, been injured, I could have been in some serious trouble. Injury never entered my mind, and maybe the officer saw that. All in all, I got away with the only really naughty thing I did as a child, and still get to smile. And remember.

Stopping Traffic, Just That Once
Could it be that our souls have already stumbled upon each other in another existence? One which sets no boundaries and requires no certain standard of love. For there is a sweet familiarity in the flow of your sentences and the heavenly scent of your perfume which lingered even when you’re not around. Maybe too familiar. That even the slightest touch of a hand in the most unexpected moments sends a feeling of connection as though i’ve known you for so long and yet the heavens forbid us to recall.

Another Existence
The Warden announces; as the Diseased children cower in fear, The mother stands beside the Warden. "Evy'body remain calm, The Plague doc'or is 'ere!" May God forbid; That you ever see that Mask, Those cloaks, those masks, those herbs and flasks... It creeps towards the children; Looming in the silence. equipped with little mind for medicine, a cane for violence. Those soulless eyes, the Putridly herbal aroma close, they despise, but this masked creature ignores their cries. The warden feeding mother Lies. Dimly lit the cold room, the pungent fume, ''I'll leave 'im to it" The warden leaves. but the Doctor stays and silently breathes. Question on the matter if this Doctor's even Sane, As it stares upon the child then whips him with the cane. No Law defies, the Mother Cries. Pulling out it's Vials of vial Herbs, this Freak, Staring coldly around the silent room, pointing everywhere, it's beak. It passes the two Children pouches of leaves; Mother grieving, everybody remain Calm, The Plague Doctor is leaving!

The Plague Doctor
Who's **** about their **** You are, Virgo. In fact, you are so **** about your own *** hole that god forbid you ever run out of baby wipes or are unable to scrub-a-dub-dub after your daily **** But of course, that will never happen to you because you have planned out exactly where and what time you are to take a **** If you're working overtime, so is your **** No one can tell your *** hole is throbbing because you have perfected the art of the, *No, a **** is not slipping in and out of my *** hole right at this very moment* poker face. Not only do you have an irrational fear of a ****** *** hole, but you must examine every inch of your **** for any sign of potential disease or parasites.(with gloves on, of course.) Your ruling planet is Mercury, which means you probably know exactly how many times you have taken a **** in your life up until this point. **** *** Your worst ******* nightmare. Advice: Chill the **** out. The only condition you're suffering from is a mental one and it's called Hypochondria.

VIRGO: AUGUST 23rd-SEPTEMBER 22nd
1 When life as opening buds is sweet, 2 And golden hopes the fancy greet, 3 And Youth prepares his joys to meet,-- 4 Alas! how hard it is to die! 5 When just is seized some valued prize, 6 And duties press, and tender ties 7 Forbid the soul from earth to rise,-- 8 How awful then it is to die! 9 When, one by one, those ties are torn, 10 And friend from friend is snatched forlorn, 11 And man is left alone to mourn,-- 12 Ah then, how easy 'tis to die! 13 When faith is firm, and conscience clear, 14 And words of peace the spirit cheer, 15 And visioned glories half appear,-- 16 'Tis joy, 'tis triumph then to die. 17 When trembling limbs refuse their weight, 18 And films, slow gathering, dim the sight, 19 And clouds obscure the mental light,-- 20 'Tis nature's precious boon to die.

A Thought on Death: November, 1814
She's preparing her heart to be broken And why should she not? Is this not the norm? These beautiful words so softly spoken Or should she just let go and be reborn Too late into an unknown world she stepped The fear is still there but she can't care now Edge of the horizon, ready, she leapt It is too late with this she makes a vow To fight would be madness 'twould be a sin Regardless it is worth it to let go Finally feel the happiness within Take these four walls down and let the love grow Now despite her fear there's no turning back God forbid she's wrong, her heart may turn black

Afraid
By a route obscure and lonely, Haunted by ill angels only, Where an Eidolon, named NIGHT, On a black throne reigns upright, I have reached these lands but newly From an ultimate dim Thule— From a wild weird clime that lieth, sublime, Out of SPACE—out of TIME. Bottomless vales and boundless floods, And chasms, and caves, and Titan woods, With forms that no man can discover For the dews that drip all over; Mountains toppling evermore Into seas without a shore; Seas that restlessly aspire, Surging, unto skies of fire; Lakes that endlessly outspread Their lone waters—lone and dead, Their still waters—still and chilly With the snows of the lolling lily. By the lakes that thus outspread Their lone waters, lone and dead,— Their sad waters, sad and chilly With the snows of the lolling lily,— By the mountains—near the river Murmuring lowly, murmuring ever,— By the gray woods,—by the swamp Where the toad and the newt encamp,— By the dismal tarns and pools Where dwell the Ghouls,— By each spot the most unholy— In each nook most melancholy,— There the traveller meets aghast Sheeted Memories of the past— Shrouded forms that start and sigh As they pass the wanderer by— White-robed forms of friends long given, In agony, to the Earth—and Heaven. For the heart whose woes are legion ’Tis a peaceful, soothing region— For the spirit that walks in shadow ’Tis—oh, ’tis an Eldorado! But the traveller, travelling through it, May not—dare not openly view it; Never its mysteries are exposed To the weak human eye unclosed; So wills its King, who hath forbid The uplifting of the fringed lid; And thus the sad Soul that here passes Beholds it but through darkened glasses. By a route obscure and lonely, Haunted by ill angels only. Where an Eidolon, named NIGHT, On a black throne reigns upright, I have wandered home but newly From this ultimate dim Thule.
