"frontal" poems
'Healer' time take thy poor, black sheep, and stop it from wondering in the dangerous corners of the mind, because heaven and hell collided inside a body and in unity they came in the presence of all those who conspired to it. From the frontal to the occipital lobe, dark thoughts obstruct the brain’s watershed regions and thanatos they bring. The soul cannot take this coffin anymore. The stone is too heavy to carry; sliding down and pushing up, every night the pushing starts, for the dawn, her courage to crack. It may be like Hooke's law they say, but bodies break down, when people apply the extra force and so do the souls, long before.

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

Innocence Unattended
**Strange how the dank hand of disaster clarifies the thinking, How all irrelevancies are scoured from the frontal lobe, How, strangely, should you look into the morning sky, the blueness is of a brilliant, startling intensity. How biting into a piece of fresh fruit reveals the new mouth watering,  exquisiteness of clean sweet,flavour. Strange how the dank hand of disaster allow us to consolidate our values. Where suddenly, the drabness of yesterday becomes the brightly,beautiful now. Where miserable mindedness adopts an abrupt re-evaluation, in that the sour faced neighbour is embraced with passion as being a fellow survivor. Where the rich and the poor are thrown together to work willingly, cheek by jowel, for a common cause…Tomorrow!. Strange how the dank hand of disaster brings out THE VERY BEST IN US …isn’t it ?** Marshalg A commonality observed In having survived many disasters over the years. 1 November 2012

Touched by the Dank Hand of Disaster.
A few of you have seen my face One of you has kissed my cheek so *** you can now see me in full frontal ****** I am the ruggedly handsome man, who as usual is on the floor looking for something to hug beside the *****

3:29am Full Frontal ******
#STICK’EM UP with LIQUID NAILS DANGER ! EXTREMELY FLAMMABLE         See Other Caution on Back Panel: I’m hot for you Cowgirl – you’re so flammable my glue-gun starts to melt; my screwdriver starts twisting when you loosen that low-slung belt. You make me feel like laying re-bar in a freshly-poured foundation. Shoot me up with that caulk gun baby – I need you like salvation. Ten and one-half fluid ounces – pull off your top, pop a love-cap in me. Fingerin’ your trigger while the job is gettin’ bigger so take me for a ride to the hardware store, honey, cause I’m seeing red and feeling white on your golden background’s sheer delight.  Hammer me a heart-full, spike me on a cross of blonde, I’m hanging ten, surfing the tube of your magic wand. I’ve been in love ever since I first waterproofed my seamy undersides with you… stand over me in those red, red boots, you Liquid Nails Girl – and from your pure white Stetson let righteousness unfurl. You won the shoot-out long before you even drew, my dear. Lost hope of the Wild West, Final Frontal Feminine Frontier – there’s only one side of you…  your GOOD side.  Just one look and your fearless gaze silences the foes, my blooming prairie rose. YEE – HAW !  Be my angel, be my dream, my valentine rodeo queen, be my bodyguard, my therapist, long & tall & hard & wet – be my Liquid Nails Girl forever and I’ll ride right into your sunset…

Owed to a Caulk Gun
I was taught in science that matter and energy cannot be created or destroyed, and is simply manipulated into different forms and transferred to other objets. In Psychology I was taught about the pre-frontal cortex, and how it houses the emotions of the human soul, and about the hippocampus which carefully extracting these emotions into long term memory so they can live forever. I wasn’t taught how these emotions were conserved. I started wondering to myself, where the **** do the emotions one puts into another go? Can emotions be created or destroyed inside the pre-frontal cortex? Or are they simply transferred from mine to yours, which allows you to put effort into someone else, leaving my emotional remnants to manipulate themselves into pain? Am I able to transfer my feelings into your PFC so they can spark a reaction with whats inside and manipulate them into something different? Maybe thats how mutual feelings come about. But would it not work if your necessary reactants have already been transferred elsewhere? I assume my emotions would react with your painful remnants to leave you neutral again, giving you the choice to forget him or feed him a bit more. Then how the **** do the feelings of one change as time goes on? I assume that infatuation never completes its journey to the hippocampus and simply passes through the PFC. But how do emotions get manipulated into something negative after the rare chance that they complete the savage journey to the long term chamber? The intermolecular forces of the bond created between us possibly gets overcome by something more powerful. Something that has been freshly transferred into the PFC of one of the emotional bond carriers; like fear, or the emotional energy of someone new, and she’ll tell him “it wasn’t meant to be” Which explains how you can move on whilst I can’t as my bond is also broken, but without consent, my their emotions to go haywire and destroy my psyche as they’re not bonded to anything. I’m “broken”. Although the intermolecular forces of the emotions inside your PFC have been overcome and manipulated into something new, the old emotional bonds still exist in her hippocampus, as well as his. Emotions will constantly haunt me from there, creating constant relapse as the painful memories are resurrected and transferred back into his PFC. They’ll haunt you too, possibly reacting with your current state to create regret. Either regret of breaking the bonds or forming them in the first place. I’ll reach a neutral state again, and you will have your turn to be broken when emotions from someone else are transferred respectively. But we’ll never forget each other. So i guess love never dies. Only active love. As the emotions in the hippocampus are set in stone whilst that in the PFC are transferred and manipulated, just like matter, and energy. After all, we are just matter, with energy.

Your pre-frontal cortex is delectably oral amidst this maze of psychological violence. Oh, mistress of certain uncertainty, I cannot articulate the essence of ontology, as human language is inadequate. But, you truly capture the flow of irregularity in this mass mockery of societal fabric. Therefore, I simply appeal to our mutual and primitive impulses. Let us be rough, despite the misguided assumptions of those who claim to have affiliation. I like old school choppers, because they are not polished.

Sociopathic Integrity
So many memories they tend to cloud my mind Smells of the food cooking in the kitchen Family gathered— ready and at attention So many memories they tend to cloud my mind I remember when we used to play in the park I remember when our Grandma told us to be in before dark So many memories they tend to cloud my mind Sounds of laughter at Christmas time I remember when we used to wait up for Santa We were threatened with pepper in the eyes Remember that? Scared into sleepiness because our young minds didn’t know any better With the morning sun, we rise and shine to open presents together So many memories they tend to cloud my mind I remember these memories represented our close knit bond People grow People change I guess it’s naivety to think it would forever stay the same It’s the memories we cherish and should hold them close Keeping the people near and dear that we love the most Because there will come a time when the reaper must stake his claim We never invite him, but it doesn’t matter because he already has the name He may come in quick or take his time, but when he comes it leaves us blind Blinded by hurt Blinded by pain Blinded by the fact we will never see our loved one again Blinded by the new memories of a new type of hurt—a new type of pain Then the memories overflow and fill the frontal lobe-the part of the brain where memories and speech are controlled You become speechless because you become filled and overwhelmed with the loss Family comes together to comfort each other You haven’t seen some in years—it’s been so long since you’ve seen them you want to burst out in tears. Kids have grown and don’t look the same So handsome and beautiful, but you don’t remember their names That’s how long—how long it’s been Again, it’s a shame. You ask, “Why does it take death to bring the family together again?” Then, in an instant, tears begin to form in the wells of your eyes You realize how things have really changed and you don’t quite understand why So many memories they tend to cloud my mind I remember that there is a need to change the timeline I remember when I decided to finally say Don’t let the family, your blood, fade away Embrace each other Love each other Motivate each other Cherish each other Protect each other Keep each other Continue to make memories—no matter how old we get Make sure the family remains close knit Yep, so many memories they just tend to cloud my mind Family should always be together—until the end of time.

Trip over the high density of our constant lies We're all out to break and hurt the non-elite Words and phrases they never meant a thing but to lure you in This facade of love that we send soldiers like cattle Down an assembly line to build and protect A fake America, burning towers tumbling down Bellowing the sweet sorrows of victims Whose screams we replay the audio over and over To divert you from seeing the real culprit   We are sick minded human beings with the thirst for enemies We'll kiss everyone we meet on the cheek And continue to fake what we tell you we'll be We prefer a stabbing to the back Never a full frontal attack And we have puppets We'll always find someone to replace the current like the forty four before The people's memories will fade and burn like corpses caused by the Enola Gay We''ll drop a bomb to wipe out everything mankind has worked for Because in the end we do not need peasants We have everything and everyone else has absolutely nothing And 99% will lay to waste and ruin in the ruins we leave to burn We'll pity so we can mislead to false hope Send small portions of rations to schedule feeding underlings Flouride in the drinking water to better control Corruption in the oval office classified, uncovered, never shared Always kept underwraps, never revealed just a hoax. Lips to ears do the whispers carry. A promise for a better tomorrow but a date will never be set for peace So we keep telling you that it only gets better And we'll think apologies fix everything Truth is we meant nothing in the first place Because we'll keep remaking mistakes that we apologize for Misery is our job Eating and breathing and surviving on the pain of lower humans Like clothed animals rampaging through a corrupt society So we'll let the people let their guard down for a quick second and us, vultures Will devour them quick in that moment To find you are empty inside, We've starved you of what you've needed Because all along, and everything we've ever done we never realized once you've all revolted this 1% would surely fall to pieces.

I feel the walls of my mentality breaking down. The defense mechanism has failed. My weakness has been found. Bombs bombard my frontal lobes. How much time do I have left? That's a question nobody knows. But the army of stress wages through. Setting fire and killing cells, torturing them as the army continues to move. My head throbs with pain, my legs join my arms in what feels like an earthquake; Heart pounds with tremendous force, my body is on a crash course. The room becomes an amusement park ride. While different moods pass me by. Day after day the symptoms increase. Today may be the day when I accept defeat. Socializing has become a thing of the past, all I have is panic attacks. Happiness has finally been lost. Without a map, and at what cost? Control center has been compromised. Here I am, I have met my demise.

don't understand me. this is not for you. It's for you. my Gemini shin splints are pirates. hopeless Romans, romantically dismantling the things you Undo. the things you You. I Doctor in your Seuss canal. with a frontal lobe, more Job than a postage stamp - in this Day and Age. It's grey and rage - with the tooth torn out ! Out through the probable snout of the next mummified god-king of our interlocking rot... our chamber pots spotting the oft begot good of our evil Mummenschanz we are crepes' rue; yet we roulette best in Typhoons from murk placid. with 2.8 kids and damp matches. we are struck in a gale of flaccid dumb as a Belle of the Ball that Squares a Rube with an Ism.... from Ix. sometimes.

STRAIGHTEN UP AND PYRITE
Not only am I drowning but so many are going down along with me-- our hopes, our dreams, our ideals are being swept out to sea the man who claims victory is more than just a man he embodies evil and greed like no other in this land-- he cares nothing for AMERICA unless it brings profit his way and he will stop at nothing to rule forever and a day... So don't bother to save me as I am falling beneath the sea, I cannot tread water for he is determined to drown me and so many others who only want what's best for our beloved U.S.A. and oh my god this test is far too much and I kneel down and pray and ask the gods above to watch over the entire globe for beware, I see it coming this man in charge has not much of a frontal lobe and we are doomed not just as a united country but as a human kind for we've elected an official who has literally lost his mind...

Doomed to Drown...
The real subjectivity of life is overwhelming; Prospective consumes our frontal cortex But there is no escape from this vacuum seal. We see the faces of our own delight, The know how of the here and now, But we are too blind to look past our own perspectives. Even when we fathom the hearts of others, Our understandings are predisposed  to our own Identity. Objectivity is a fleeting notion of reality, of truth and its as though the ground we hold so dearly Is constantly fleeing from our grasp. Today we call this individualism, a disconnect between one's self and society. But I so selfishly and foolishly believe that this chasm stems from being lied to so often. Am I lying to myself or am I being lied to I do no know, but it is important to understand that it does not matter that nothing matters, because everything exists in my field of view. The only question remains: am I correct Or has the devil made me a fool? But  this does not confirm nihilism only hints at its initial potential. Yet there are common truths that are irrefutable no matter who you are, real or not: The reality is the here and now, No matter what ghosts or demons there may be. They affect the consciousness constantly indifferently to whether or not they are fraudulent or true. And my experiences are true, the emotions are radical, and even if everyone I know is a figment and interpretation, they still hold a grasp onto my withering heart.

Playful Embrace
I smash open my skull and pry apart my frontal lobe , so I could forget how your smile made me felt. I pull my teeth out with a pair of rusty pliers, to make me forget the taste your tongue left me. I tear my fingernails off and replace them with sharpened glass between the ripped flesh, to forget the tender sweet touch from your hands. I gorge my eyes out, so I can forget how you used to look as you slept. I stab my ear canals with scissors, to forget the sound of you laughing. I plug my nose up with mothballs, so I forget how your clothes smelt when I wore them. I peel off my skin piece by piece to forget how soft your skin was. I can’t forget.

memory loss
Lines of life through gene transmission When handed down through ***** Tho’ rugged, sound or sickly matched, Are caste about like coins. Luck ensures a robust chance Of longevity and health With intelligence or dolt hood As a final gauge to wealth. Traits of blue eyed, fair haired lovelies Brown eyed, freckled, long of limb, Temperaments across the spectrum Placid fat to fiery slim. Aptitude to run the long race Good endurance, depth of heart, Lady luck decrees their worth Tho' the Priesthood may depart. Frontal lobes of clear retention Heightened rationale of thought, Reasons through the problematic, Resolutions made as ought. Capacity to empathise In tears of joy and sorrow spent, Capacity for true belief When wrong is righted with repent. Goodness and black evil Are caste about like chaff, Depends upon the show of cards Who laughs the final laugh. Conscience can be virtuous But then, so can be greed, Depends upon the circumstance And if approached at speed. And finally indulgence Plays a massive hand in this, For love and lust determine If a union is remiss. And should that union founder, Should Lady Luck throw in her hand ...You can blame it on the chromosomes Which confounds the Makers stand! Marshalg @theBach Mangere Bridge 14 June 2011

My love, my lover, my life. Tall, beared, hued and mysterious. I realized he was mysterious since he only lives in the frontal lobe of my mind. There I anxiously wait for his kiss. Is it crazy to think that a bond so strong will ever exist? I sure hope he does! I am frantically in love with him. This man unknown who has not found me as of yet. I have seen glimpses of him, here and there. With long observation that never compare! I wait, again. Full of emotions. With tears, fears and deep long sighs. I reassure myself that my love, so simple, and true, is near.

Repast For Love Never Known
There’s something about you that makes me want to write bad poetry and half-assed short stories. Something about you that makes me want to take all my unspoken words and turn them into something beautiful, something worthwhile. You make me want to be an artist like Van Gogh or Sylvia Plath; you make me want to create. Maybe it’s that blue wave that crashes down like an incoming tide on the beach— your eyes when you look at me in a certain way, in a certain light. Or maybe it’s the way that you say my name and then say all those horrible things that make me want to rip something open. Those words that rip me open. You make beautiful stanzas get stuck in my head like lyrics to a bad pop song; I can’t erase them and the only way I can think of to cope with it is to write them down like a schoolgirl with a well worn diary. I think I might as well have hypergraphia. I am an unprofessional medical doctor with a pen, paper, and Word Document suffering from a form of verbal ***** because I can’t possibly think of a way to speak my mind. I think I would make a very good mute. I wish I lacked a voice box because then I wouldn’t have to be the one that has to say all the right, comforting things at the all the right times and all the right places. Sometimes it feels as if I’m being eaten from the inside out by some sort of paratrophic organism that sits atop my frontal lobe and dictates my life and fluctuates my anxiety and I can’t even think about some things anymore because of this nervous clench I get in my gut when I let my thoughts get too jumbled. But you—you make me want to write the most heartfelt and sappy sentences and you make me want to be more than just ordinary. You make me want to be extraordinary. I guess that what I’m writing is an apology in the shape of a few stanzas and a few metaphors. And this is an “I forgive you” for that night that we spent outside your house arguing over the stupidest of things, so stupid that I can hardly remember a single word I said to you. Nothing gratifying is ever painless to obtain and I want to be a fighter like Hercules or Alexander the Great. I want to be extraordinary with you.
