"fufilling" poems
So there is this pyramid.
We learned about it last week
This guy, his name was Maslow...is Maslow
maybe he is still alive. I'm not sure.
I don't even know his full name....I''ll probably do really well in this class, by the way.
So, Maslow, he came up with this pyramid.
A pyramid of physiological need. Ineresting right?
I think it is pretty interesting.
The bottom of the pyramid, the biggest part, contains the things you need the most.
Air, water, food, sleep...you get the idea.
The next part says saftey and security.
In order to live a fufilling life you need...
air, water, food, sleep, saftey and security.
Pretty simple
Then, this guy Maslow, he throws this ******** into the mix...
on the next level of the pyramid he puts love and belonging.
Love and belonging?
A necessity?
I have only lived about 19 years of my life
and I think it is safe to say that I have never loved.
Not really loved anyone.
I love my mom, I love my dog.
I hope that is the kind of love that Maslow is talking about or else
....I am not fufilling my physiological needs.
So I'm a little ****** up, yeah I could belive that.
To top this **** off.
Maslow throws Esteem and Self-esteem on the tip top of this pyramid.
Well now Maslow...hes really making my day
I got none of that either.
So here I am taking some notes in class and
Maslow makes me realized that I'm a pretty incomplete person.
Right here, in the middle of my Psychology lecture
surounded by at least 300 other incomplete people.

nothing much happened today
no great calamity, no suprising visitor
the cornflakes dried to a cement like
consistency in the chipped blue bowl
the tuxedo rex vomited on the newly bought
home beautiful magazine..
my heart beat at a lazy 74 beats per minute
when i checked after my nana nap
my bad ankle creaked and twinged
reminding me to get the towels in
before it rained
I made a wonderful chicken cashew curry
for dinner, but fogot to buy naan bread
and yogurt to accompany it..
I kissed the god boy goodnight,
then read two chapters of Harry Potter aloud
as the tuxedo rex, watched me, from the windowsill
marked some essays of dubious quality,
was given a shoulder massage,
by my agong surfer dude,
that led to much greater intimacies
no, nothing much happened today
yet it was fufilling, upon looking back
it had rhythm and purpose
turned the cogs of my world
it was the miles between the milestones
that often go unrecorded
and as I sit in the almost dark of the moon
I do believe it was one of the best days of my life

I love you even though we've never met
for sharing these moments with me
and relating to my lines
Even though we've never met
I feel so close sometimes
My fellow reader I cherish you
and I hope all your dreams come true
Because by reading and enjoying
my work
You are fufilling mine

She has a sadness, and swing
and something else--
like her voice could bring you back from the dead.
She never had a chance, born sick
of the flat Earth she was lain upon.
arms dusted with a film
scrubbed until she was raw,
sins bleeding out in the yellowing shower.

Tragedy
Children and families living in poverty
Holdin on to the American Dream,
But is that better than reality?
Families starving, stuck in a self-fulfilling prophesy
Societal pressure blinding us, can't see
Creates limitations that promote conformity
Kept in the dark, forever trying to attain clarity.
Forget everyone else and who you used to be
Only you stand in the way of beating the self-fulfilling prophesy.

The In-between
Serenity hidden within the in-between, open to the curious minds.
The one's who see between the lines, searching for any adventure, anywhere they can find.
Inspired by the ideas, hidden through time and on occasion rejected by mankind.
Travelling world's in their spare time, treasuring these moment's they find.
Remembering never to let others fall behind, exciting them with their
rhymes.
For these creature's, do not really unwind.
Searching all their lives, these moment's fufilling them, offering them to truly feel alive.

What good is the truth and the rawness of soul when the deaf one's the one that I'm telling?
I'm speaking now, not for you, not for them, but for me
I want to end the short circuit that has trained my mind to be
Malfunctioning from the start of thoughts, and breaking at the fore
Of every single thing I've thought, as it happens, there's a score
Of thoughts befitting every kind of fiend that walks this earth
And yes, there are those other thoughts, as pure as babe at birth
But negative will always win while stroking little bearded chin he gently breaks the chords within
I can no longer see the light the dark will outshine every bright beginning to tell me what's right
It doesn't matter, nothing matters
Reality, the choice I once had
Stolen
Now I'm confined with the rest of my thoughts
To battle it out in my skull
Will I win?
Who knows? Who cares?
If I had the answer, I wouldn't be concerned
Who poured all the chocolate syrup on the floor?
There isn't any more
My chocolate syrup, rich and dark
Like blood to my lips, life-fufilling
Never spilling
There isn't any more
Let me smile for one last time
Before I take the fatal climb
Up the side of this house
Twenty stories won't **** a mouse
Says physics, but it's alright 'cause
A mouse I fortunately never was

Let there be music forever.
Let Handel, the king of kings
love JZ forever.
Let them sing: Love calls us to the things of this world.
Therefore fufilling Richard Wilburrs promise.

Mindful of the tongue
It's important to speak life
into your own life
There's power in words
As well as in your actions
And now, I will stand
My heart burns with hope
The pain scattered to the winds
I am free of thorns
I walk to the light
I know my work is not done
I need to go on
See sacred treasures
that is not from this dark Earth
And it's fufilling
Keep moving forward
I will keep moving upward
My eyes on the Gates

*Commercial love day
What can I say
If you choose to only show it today
It wasn't real love anyway*
*What do you get?
A card,a gift?
Do you get your tempory lift?
Before you go back to a lonely life swift*
*Good luck to you all that choose to bow to corporate greed
Rather than fufilling one another's real need
Showing them love everyday plant a seed
And it'll grow if nurture and feed*

Eyes closed,
Fillings a'quivering,
As the dull background roar of the wind tearing by.
Eddie Vedder belting out the works of Etwistle, Townsend, Daltrey, Jones, and Moon.
Smoke exiting the windows as both my Father and I smoke.
Both laughing at the schadenfreude,
Seeing a traffic jam forming the other way,
Stretching out for 8 miles ahead,
With miles of more traffic to soon add on.
It's a shared humor at old jokes,
Shared a thousand times,
Like when we went hunting all those years ago.
I suppose it is nearing the time,
When my own path veers me so far away,
From the once small town I had grown,
Before I am to travel west,
In search of fufilling my purpose,
In service of the community as a whole.
The sun slowly setting,
As we reach the outskirts of Cincinnati,
The sky blue to flaring orange,
Lone clouds like embers being flung off the sun.

Self fulfilling prophet
master of none
would you move towards the sun
& far away from
the enticing mystical moon
where lies are told
the angelic mind
innocent eye
gal of the night
does swoon
Oh self fulfilling prophet
master of none
have faith for the morning sun
will rise
& the illusions
of the night
will disperse
Then the encompassing light
will immerse
into your life
so let there be light
