"incompatibility" poems
It hurts me because my countries worries of ETHNICITY creates nation wide incompatibility. Which creates no mobility. That gives us no capability of advancing our society.

No Ethnicity
Oh Generational gap, a cancer of to all mankind. The father of lack of communication between the young and the old. A difference brought about the tastes and values. The pain faced between young and aged but can’t be touched. It started by 1960’s the decades of revolutionary change. It cut across the world in values of *** religion and civil rights. The disease the emerged earned its self a name by social scientists. It then became “Generational Gap” I would love to quote a man of great thoughts, Alexis De Tocqueville, who commented that; “Among democratic nations, each generation is a new people” I have come to appreciate these words. When I walk down the streets noticing the rising incompatibility existing in our society Though I admire the old days when the old and young associated freely, working on the same farms Grandparents telling stories to their little ones; what a lovely society they had. With the invention of television and computers some families were bonded in communication While others live in agony especially the illiterate. The old desire different designs from the youth, whose trends change per living day of nakedness Young people prefer working in executive places like offices compared to the donkey farm work considered to be for the old Another cause of generational gap is decay in morals; the young people feel like they know everything and don’t like to be corrected thus taking information from old people as outdated, young people finding lots of hardships to great their elders In the field of music elders prefer oldies and more preferably educative songs, and as for the youths they delight in Hip-hop and dancehall, am sure those present here can testify to this a term with no disco dances makes us dull students. When it comes to religious issues, youth find it a burden to go to church and if they offer to go they prefer it to be in a club way. Praise and worship accompanied by jazz unlike the old days where drums are the centre of music. Cultures in this way have greatly faded away; the trend of western culture has flamed up the world. Drugs and *** are a hobby and celebrated amongst the youth, yet *** to the old was for companionship and co-creation. But when we came to medical technology we all applause in general, young or old there is easy treatment, use of scanners, and medical facilities cuts across.

what if (ADHateD)
Two years ago on Valentine's Day We had an attempt at reconciliation And did 69 on a small sweaty couch In a karaoke bar. One year ago on Valentine's Day You avoided eye contact with me and this year You'll probably kiss someone else And not talk to me but That's okay. Because it'll be just like three years ago When I didn't know you and I had a pretty good day. I don't know. Maybe it won't be exactly like that. I'm sorry, I'm not trying to deceive myself or anything, It's just hard to say what real and what's An admission Of incompatibility.

After Our Final Attempt at Reconciliation
I realized I was definitely Capable of loving more than one person As I stood ****** in a bar Positioned at a table between My partner and my ex-fiance My ex and I had gotten food beforehand My first time seeing them in a year and a half And I swore to everyone that it wasn't gay I believed it too for awhile Up until they said they didn't want kids Which was part of my own logic used To explain our incompatibility Hearing their stories made my heart ache All of the things I'd missed in their life All the things they missed in mine Then that night at the bar When a performer was called on stage My ex mentioned that she was my favorite A small fact I didn't think they'd remember Yet it carried such a significant feeling That left my heart heavy and fractured And when my partner looked at me I felt guilty They must be able to see it To sense it These residual feelings That I swore were not there and were Definitely not gay And while lost in my mind My ex looked at me and asked if I was ok They could still see me I wanted to run away My mind kept screaming for an escape And yet I also heard a whispered voice Reminding me that this time with them Would be the last quality time I'd have Before we returned to being strangers So I shouldn't waste it Because as much as I crave their friendship I know in my heart it'd never work Friends would never be the word It's always been and Probably always would be Something much more than that So I'll let it go I'll let myself mourn these feelings Despite the dreadful pain of it all Because we all deserve to be happy And by giving up this ill-fated dream I know one day I can be

How wise I am to have instructed the butler to instruct the first footman to instruct the second footman to instruct the doorman to order my carriage; I am about to volunteer a definition of marriage. Just as I know that there are two Hagens, Walter and Copen, I know that marriage is a legal and religious alliance entered into by a man who can't sleep with the window shut and a woman who can't sleep with the window open. Moreover, just as I am unsure of the difference between flora and fauna and flotsam and jetsam, I am quite sure that marriage is the alliance of two people one of whom never remembers birthdays and the other never forgetsam, And he refuses to believe there is a leak in the water pipe or the gas pipe and she is convinced she is about to asphyxiate or drown, And she says Quick get up and get my hairbrushes off the windowsill, it's raining in, and he replies Oh they're all right, it's only raining straight down. That is why marriage is so much more interesting than divorce, Because it's the only known example of the happy meeting of the immovable object and the irresistible force. So I hope husbands and wives will continue to debate and combat over everything debatable and combatable, Because I believe a little incompatibility is the spice of life, particularly if he has income and she is pattable.

Louis Brown · 21 hours ago Copyright Louis Brown and Warner Baxter I only like the young ones The beautiful and tall If they've got it all together It's for sure I'm gonna fall Every spring and summer I go through that same phase But winter chills this heart of mine And we go our different ways I get bored way too easily No woman likes me long We're incompatible in love But it's sad to be alone It's just the natural way of things As love goes against the grain I can't change my ways for her As the pleasure turns to pain AND TONIGHT ONCE MORE I'M OUT OF LOVE AGAIN BACK OUT IN THE COLD COLD NIGHT WITH THAT OH SO ICY WIND SUMMER DAYS ARE MEMORIES AND WINTER JUST STORMED IN AND TONIGHT ONCE MORE I'M OUT OF LOVE AGAIN I only like the young ones The beautiful and tall The brunette or the redhead Or the bleach blond Barbie doll Where there's smoke there's fire It burns up in a blaze But love can't last forever 'Cause we have such different ways I get bored way too easy no woman loves me long It's my incompatibility Though it's sad to be alone so as I travel down this road And I sing my sad love song I'll keep rollin' town to town Till this highway leads me home CHORUS

I'm Out of Love Again2
She blamed him he wasn't there while she was searching him. Alone in the garden. Browsing eyes again feasting forbidden thing. Told to keep away from. Alluring be that Serpent seeing her  away from Him searching. Serpent slithered on in. Him off working, tilling seeking. Unseeing. He blamed her, for being off and away searching. The forbidden thing She blamed him for not being close enough and not listening in. Whilst searching for you in my view the forbidden thing came. She proclaimed. As yes the Serpent came and convinced me of the harmlessness of this thing. Its tempting. Take eat with me. As he did eat. Separation, hardship, incompatibility, neglect, war and fighting in generations this world it did bring. Such unnatural things,  they were put out of the garden. Oh how soon to come things would change. Woman as day  As  night is to Man. Hard to find Him the same ever again. With out heavens blessings and bringing together of such things.

we were never meant to be (senryu #2)
Time brought the joyride to a halt, Incompatibility being her prevailing issue, She was my first love. Even though I tried, It all ripped apart, Tearing in front of my eyes! I escaped my shadow, Of guilt and loneliness, By inviting her to curse me. She said, "You'll repent this," I replied, "Who's gonna care about it," She started, "You may take it lightly, but one day you're gonna fall off the hill -" I interjected, "I'm just not gonna take it baby - chill!" She smiled weakly, "I know that you would love again," I said, "No doubt about it, the world is cuter," She uttered her curse, "But you won't ever be satisfied!" I invited few more curses, "Go on, come on - continue your curses!" She went on, "You'd pay for my tears with your blood!" I taunted, "Okay! More - just go on baby," She snarled, "You'll die feeling lonely in this whole wide world! The way I find myself lonely under your possessiveness, You too will feel unloved and unwanted." I jeered, "Whoa! That scares me to death!" She continued, "You just can't die so easily," I jeered, "Hey that's not like a curse, you can't curse so sweetly," She blasted to end it, "Just wait & pray for death to come early!" True she was, the witch, My life goes on like her curses, How true they were!

When I Broke Up With My First Girlfriend
No matter how many times I've taken this path I always get lost in my wandering full grown girl, but I feel like a half missing you and always pondering. The gravel is course sweat gatherers on my brow like a stuck object meeting an unstoppable force logical incompatibility, we are now. Foolish vacation deforestation into the lack of everything. Goodbye summertime goodbye railroad signs goodbye life giving green. You used to follow me to this sanctuary you'd stroll and I'd stay stationary alone and stalked by your fantasy diseased since January. I feel guilty, for having such sick thoughts holding you for ransom in my brain hope I don't get caught. Yesterday you called me insane, Wednesday, I was a vision, suppose you forgot.

Deforestation
They had a policy in the school, which was simple; silence in class when you hear a harmonica. It worked: every class, and every hallway, there was silence. The name was blacked out-expelled, no, found "incapable" as he refused to be silent when the teacher sounded the single note on the harmonica. Incompatible, is what they called it when a student was removed without the formalities of expulsion. What no one knew was that the tone of the single harmonica note filled him with dread. It took him right back to that terrible day, that he's tried so hard to block out of his mind. To block the painful memories, all he could think to do whenever the note pealed out in class was to start screaming loudly in an attempt to down it all. Loudly saying anything, whatever came to his mind. Which is why he was expelled with "incompatibility", it was just so unfair, so now while the rest of his classmates set in classrooms he set in the park across the street. Wondering what to do, wondering how soon the news of his "incompatibility" would reach his uncle. With all this going on, no one bothers to ask why he is like this. A rebel kid, always misunderstood, just some ****** scoundrel, a poor boy with no parents to teach him; being left with a drunk and abusive uncle. He knows he can't go to that cruel home, so he just walks with no where to go, suspended from life and expelled by the world. Now a man left with a bunch of regrets from all his bad mistakes, no one wants to hear his apology, they would rather him rot in that prison cell.

I can't explain all the things, Just because there are some things, Few people won't want me to understand... One such thing is her divorcing me pre-wedding, I will die with the immortal failed love for her, Which I have kindled and fondled in my heart... She gives the pretence of incompatibility, But I am as much a human being as herself... Probably she was scared of my behaviour, That very part where I always keep suggesting, Suggesting her steps to improve herself...

Inexplicable Pretence
I can't fathom the thought of love. the selflessness the two hearts beating as one the butterflies that flip around in sight of your partner the little hellos that makes the blood rush to your cheeks or the nights that you miss them terribly that you can have them there to hold just by a call but that's the only the good part... But what about the Cons to the Pros? the tears that fight it's way out to see the world the lonely nights in your bed the fights and arguments about being unfaithful or the 75% of breaking up because of the incompatibility between the two hearts that were to beat as one. That's why I can't fathom the thought of love One day it's something so beautiful Like something as beautiful as Disneyland to a 4 year old But then the next day, It's something so unbearable Like losing your favorite blanket  that was given to you by a passed on relative. How could something so beautiful to the eyes be so dark and treacherous on the inside?

Most everything we did, we did too many times to count. The kisses hello and kisses goodnight, all-consuming hugs and kicks under the table. The side glances you'd give me, with that half smile in response to a joke that was not good and was probably mine. I told you I loved you too many times to count. All the nights out and all the nights in under covers with a movie we would give up on because I was asleep in your arms, on your shoulder, too many times to count. You pressed your nose against mine too many times to count so close that I'd look with only one eye at a time and try to memorize your face smiling in response to that very special smile you saved for only when we were nose to nose then wait not so patiently for you to kiss me. I wish I had a tally of all these nice things and nice words to wrap up into nice memories I could keep and count for years to come. But I regret much more not counting the other things of the not so nice nature important things that needed to be counted and were not. Like all those times you made me cry for equally uncountable reasons, reasons I can't remember clearly but at the time sent a chill through my heart ran through my nerves got caught in a cold breath so that I felt the absence of your love the emptiness of where you told me it was. I felt that hole too many times to count. You left me for more interesting things too many times to count so that I felt so alone even though I was with you disappointed that you had disappointed once again. You, being you, and me, being me, being not each other and not close either then crying again realizing we would never be. We went to bed angry too many times to count and woke up forgetful every time after because our problems could not be fixed and we knew it would do us no good to look at them. I thought about breaking up too many times to count and clearly you did too, because I can count the number of times we did, once. Still, you broke my heart too many times to count before, during, after our relationship, picking up the pieces, the uncountable number of pieces, and piecing myself back together on just another occasion I would not bother counting. I loved you in spite of everything too many times to count Let my heart burn with quiet hope hoping everything would be okay even though it was never okay and my heart was already cooked black yet still, I could probably start counting now. If only I had counted then I would know how much I don't need you then I would have some grand sum as proof then I wouldn't have to count now count the tears I still cry count the nights I can't sleep count the drinks I don't count to drink more My heart falls silent after a fit of anguish and pain and desperation watching the gears in my brain snap with the incompatibility of reality and my now silent heart Fallen flat. too tired to get back up

an armadillo falling in love with an ant; evidently a tragedy in the making.                       A nightingale                       getting enamored                       by a crow;                       certainly is                       a comedy                       in perfect proportions. an elephant trampling the tropical jungles, falling head over heels for a blue whale, even if for a while is an adventure perilous                          he and she                            falling in love                          without rhyme or reason                          propelled by a heavy dose of passion                          is love at first sight, the height                          it is thought, of a romantic liaison! but tragedy and comedy with all probabilities of incompatibility lurk in human minds till it strikes with out any signal of warning, if the two, supposedly madly in love are not certain, of the reasons, of the love that struck them, and swept off the feet, in the inebriating love season

see the reason , don't be swayed by the season
At fourteen I swore I knew the world. I swore I've been through everything and anything life has to offer. A lot more than my age and face told. But then you came along. And no body warned me, no body prepared me for that. The second I laid my eyes on you, I entered an entirely new world. Perfection. Bliss. Love. I felt as if your mere presence was the plane ticket to paradise, a staircase to heaven. But everything that goes up must come down. And we did. The good vibes and good times were swept up and swallowed by a wave of incompatibility. I was drowning. You weren't there to help anymore. I can't believe the things we've endured. I can't believe I lost years of my life to such a young boy. No, not young in age, in which we are the same. But young in mind and soul.

Petal by petal.
I was born to love everyone but I loved so hard the insides of my lugs tore apart. Sometimes I love too deep. In a city too dark to love in, we overlook the mountain and hedges that have pricked the life of us with thorns, banished us in places that see silence through congested thoughts. We sing Like a humming birds. Singing in attempt to abolish the very existence of our stars and the stars we shared yet, we lay quilted in stardust and the silhouettes of our shadows. They burst into flames or kaleidoscopes, a beauty, complimented by the prophecy of life itself. Sometimes we hope to speak like our words have lost themselves in the coils of our tongues but we hope to live with strength not habituated in settings of frost and snow. Our worlds don't intertwine but our hopes do. We seek refuge in prayer during the midst of our foggy minds and the very cosmos of our thoughts. We recite the soft speech of the holy book to excuse us from the blackness of the universe. Our souls wonder naked from emotions and exposed to our own destinies created with incompatibility and dissection.

Soulfull
Solitude. Such an ancient adversary. Our history runs as long as time itself. Once again it has decided to come forth, having been staved off by our once glorious companion. Or perhaps not so glorious. As we peer into the past, the taint and tarnish become clear. The heavenly songs filled with promises were harmonized with clashing shrieks and piercing screams. The sweet basin of affection was poisoned by twisted manipulation and deception. Our courtship with the Fallen One has left us broken, yet functioning. We thought we had triumphed over despair, but the Solitude has begun to tear its way into us. It whispers with blades that sink deeper than our flesh and bone. It declares that it is an inevitability, that no matter our attempts it will not be defeated. We repel its whispers, but only on occasion. Its words slither through our deaf ears, and with each victory, they become harder to silence. Yet there is one who can quell even the mightiest of his attacks. Her gaze alone causes it to fall silent. Her smile loosens his grip on the body's heart. Yet the Solitude is cunning. It knows of the doubts that linger in the mind. It points out the flaws in us. It taunts us with our incompatibility. We cannot deny what it declares. We are aware of our shortcomings. But we cannot ignore the nerves that twist beneath the skin as we look upon her. We cannot dismiss the passion in our heart when we hear her laughter. We cannot overlook the radiance of her very presence, ridding the darkness and sorrow in our mind. Yet the wounds from the Fallen One have yet to heal. We are hesitant to torment ourselves with another lost companion. But we are strong in our resolve. We will combat the Solitude. We shall stand firm against its whispers. We will not break under the weight of our adversary. We will endure this war, for we have the Perfection who watches us, ever vigilant, and infallible.

it's weird meeting with people who actually loved you after months have passed this love that once strived to be permanent like conquering mountains but i shed it like snakeskin forever is way too hard when you're too selfish to love people back always chose myself did you know your feelings were the greatest gift i've ever known? i thought if i arrived here early and gave you no set time i would have a bit of the morning to myself but you were already around the corner i knew you would be i know you well, too i didn't let us go deep this rainy morning we should only go forward from here not backwards we talk hell, we live in small talk i say i thrive in summer you talk about the snow not much has changed and somehow weather preferences felt like the biggest incompatibility then the most mundane of compromises didn't run to my own defenses or fall to your knees apologizing didn't tell you if i pray or who i've slept with or that i spent the last three days crying on the jumpseat we talk about the coffee shop i just came here to create a new memory stub out everything that was like a stale cigarette see? i haven't changed that much instead i say i'm tired of sitting in the back of the plane as people probe and poke my sides like an insect asking for coffee with five packets of splenda i say new york is a drag most days i am lonely i wonder if i'm pregnant it's the only reason i stopped binge drinking i woke up and wasn't hungover thank god i wouldn't admit that i miss the noise of dry heaving over a toilet bowl you didn't pay for my coffee or pour your soul out or drive me home you say you leave today you don't even say you came here for me because you are just as free to be so i nod and begin putting my headphones on before even saying goodbye i leave the conversation abruptly ending on a note about how many cape verdeans live in boston i grab my bouquet of sunflowers slip away into the brooklyn fog i was gone before you knew it all the effort you put to be here with me today for me to walk out the door reminiscent of what i did to you then on a smaller scale you say "until next time" but you know i'll slip through the cracks like i do predictable me and even when you find me i'll be on the run

I'm Out of Love Again
Isn’t it strange how stars have no beginning and end? Look up to the sky and see for yourself; They are infinite, endless and forever. Isn’t it strange how those stars decide our lives before we’ve even begun? Cancer, Aries, Libra, Virgo You tell me the stars do not define your love for me Yet our incompatibility is inexplicable Isn’t it strange how our love burned out? Just like those stars from centuries ago The stars may not define our love but they define so much more than that, For the sun is the biggest star of them all.
