"juju" poems
Listen, I've got guilt choking all of my good juju. I’m sorry I told you we’d hang out just so I could come over to watch Breaking Bad. You know I need that weekly crystalbluepersuasion. I’m sorry I didn't sit on the porch steps with you afterward while you had your evening cigarette. (I could have done that at least.) I imagined you sitting there watching me drive down the street & out of your sight— a lit cigarette hung limply from your lips. I felt your disappointment & I cursed my mother for teaching me to have such a sharp sense of empathy. I know I’ll never be badass enough not to care. I realize I was born to give one too many ***** I've learned to accept it as my incessant character flaw. (It could be worse.) Although, I have to be honest, I get my kicks entertaining the notion that for one evening I was the one that got away.

breaking bad ***** call
Pearl Avenue runs past the high-school lot, Bends with the trolley tracks, and stops, cut off Before it has a chance to go two blocks, At Colonel McComsky Plaza. Berth's Garage Is on the corner facing west, and there, Most days, you'll find Flick Webb, who helps Berth out. Flick stands tall among the idiot pumps- Five on a side, the old bubble-head style, Their rubber elbows hanging loose and low. One's nostrils are two S's, and his eyes An E and O. And one is squat, without A head at all-more of a football type. Once Flick played for the high-school team, the Wizards. He was good: in fact, the best. In '46 He bucketed three hundred ninety points, A county record still. The ball loved Flick. I saw him rack up thirty-eight or forty In one home game. His hands were like wild birds. He never learned a trade, he just sells gas, Checks oil, and changes flats. Once in a while, As a gag, he dribbles an inner tube, But most of us remember anyway. His hands are fine and nervous on the lug wrench. It makes no difference to the lug wrench, though. Off work, he hangs around Mae's Luncheonette. Grease-gray and kind of coiled, he plays pinball, Smokes those thin cigars, nurses lemon phosphates. Flick seldom says a word to Mae, just nods Beyond her face toward bright applauding tiers Of Necco Wafers, Nibs, and Juju Beads.

Aimless devotion to discontent deities* sacrificial offerings crucial for good juju Altar boys and pages kissing feet for wages Praying to relics punishing heretics Burning,knifing,shooting Oh for the love of god! Don't believe Do believe Maybe just for acceptance Penance repentance Breed a way of thinking and get many precious berries

It was the month of the year, The day of the month, And the time of the day. When secrets are spilled, And stories are told. She told me her secrets, And every stories she was told. I told her mine, But then she whispered and said, "Let me tell you a secret. I'm not good at keeping one." - Juju

girlogue (genz)
When you walk into the room, fireworks before me, a ship sinking and yet, i forget my minds sails to another parallel that swims to deep, tutut, juju, and warm to light and heartbeat torture of another day that pendulum monkey on my back dances to that haunted dancefloor that begs to be conquered from thankful bells that toils to answer, our disguise and wonder, my sweet our touch is a beauty of a crash course, for the ravers as you much on quaver after quaver, what about the midnight hour that gets to be a sweet requiem of us, justice to us that never follow their favourite game. Goodnight.

Good Day spoken in a bad austrailian accent bad juju voodoo clear light poltergeist on disablity Hoarding every scrap of miserable memories attached to trash your apartment is a holiday for nightmares and childmolesters ******* magazines, old sanitary napkins , bad vhs movies lay like dead soldiers waiting for the war to end Black bags and boxes scattered every where are villages to rats and every unknown pestilence you can only read about in medical textbooks. half eaten pizzas covered in pickles dried up sadly looking at empty pills You have no hold on me I can't understand your pain nor will i listen to your overdramatic ******** about whoever or scheming to defraud Walmart Your mutilation is a scar spelling sociopathic miscreant child trapped in an old mismatched shell of no clear gender. Your diagnostic prophecies from the dsm5 dismissed like school on a snow day. Will commands the unentanglement uncurse unfear dispell all your contradictions accusations monologrhthyms bad music choices and echoes of muttered mustard. only truth will be uplifted Peace be with you whereever you are currently infesting enjoy your dora the explorer ice cream Was there ever a floor in here?

FLAWS OF YOU
I'm not one for superstitions Generally things are going good I don't believe in charms or trinkets You must believe me, knock on wood Spill some salt, throw over shoulder Never do that one at all You have to watch just where you toss it If you're eating at the mall You get bad luck for breaking mirrors The curse has seven years of life But, marry wrong...it lasts forever Would you trade your mirror for your wife? Good luck comes from certain idols Rabbits feet and lucky charms If that's true I have one question Are there three footed rabbit farms? Voodoo dolls they have bad juju Zombies coming from the dead I know I am not superstitious But, I have garlic round my bed Black cats and a leaning ladder bad luck say the witches queen But if bad luck is all around us Why do people like 13? Tea leaf reading and the tarot Horoscopes and chicken bones I think that they are just full of blarney I don't believe but, I'll kiss the stone.

Superstition
Spirits, sages, mystics and wizards shamans and charmers voodoo, hoodoo...wanga and juju and.. old old women- those teller of tales weavers of dreams....casters of spells Warnings of darkness and deepness conjuring clues or readings from spangled stars on black nights Guidance on this spiritual journey... this mystical quest Sunrise into sunset... dark into night Answers to questions you never asked Questions to answers long buried in self shrouded past There are those who would lead you to dark alleys astray Those who would steal your hearts diamonds, your trust.. and betray You hear whispers and rumors strange tongues, and hushed voices... muffled sighs You search for everything and nothing in the shadowy mist What are true truths... what are lies? Keep your eyes open..receive the whole and know.. That real truth is sometimes in the unexpected, the untold, the unwritten, the uncharted.... Like.. in the moment of exhale from one true kiss!

Spiritual Journey/Mystical Quest
Rounding life’s corners on my Bigwheel Smile splashed across my face Eyes illuminated with glossy tears from shear speed and joy Not considering the path ahead or the road behind Simply now, simply sublime Regaining control after speeding too quickly A brief lapse in judgment nearly bringing cataclysmic spills Up on two wheels for a moment But now firmly planted, gripping the road Only speed limit is desire People see my style as I pass Like I was from Ipanema And I can hear my theme music blast as I fly by onlookers Giving me a rhythm to peddle to Getting funky on these streets And bystanders become bydancers Unavoidable, infectious pandemonium People woop and get down and ***** To fill that former droning, stale silence I feel like me again Which is really the only way to feel Because why should you feel like someone else?

Juju Rejuvenation and lead role reclaimation
The Juju-do endures like a dreamy beer, Never hate a Jespi, Seas endure like big beaches Loveland, Love is a cool breeze. Never pull a haenyo divers  fishing net, The small girls roughly commands the sea, The haenyo divers  Mermaids endures like a warm ship, Desolation, life, and endurance! Clouds wave! Why does the highest mountain hide? Where are the lively grandfather stones? Adventure, faith, and love, Unreal, sunny and chocolate candy too. All mainlands fight rough, misty winds, Dreamy shore roughly loves the sun. Adventure, courage, and life! Jeju Pony 'Hidden Treasure.” Sails fall like lively Olle walking trails. Travel roughly like an island reef, The sunny ship calmly views the trails. Sunrise from a volcanic crater. Sunny fields of barley. The sun waves goodnight, like a sunny gull, Sun falls! Courage, dreams and faith, Oh! The wonders I have seen! Jeju-do © 2013 Ronald J Chapman All Rights Reserved.

Visit to Jeju South Korea
Jasper words pour from his lips, in contrapuntal time. They shuffle just behind the beat, they strain to make their rhyme. Sweat drips on his old guitar, strings bend and cry and sing. Hear the Blues Man on his throne, he makes his guitar ring. Air thick with smoke and rhythm, like some ancient ritual dance. Mesmerizing, hypnotizing he puts you in a trance. Weaving tones and chicken bones, with cheap flat lukewarm beer. There's no place you would rather be, than with the Blues Man in your ear. To take bad juju off his strings, he'll use the John the conqueror root. He ain't got a *** to **** in, But he's got a blue silk suit. His shoe keeps time, heel to toe, with a whiskey voice he croons. Harp in its rack, he wails away, a Little Walter tune. With gospel affectations, he preaches to his throng. "I saw her kissin' Willie last night, she went and done me wrong". "I'm gonna take the next thang smokin' out of this here town". Then he slides a bottle across the strings, and it makes a mournful sound. You forget about your troubles when you get what he's layin' down. He'll take you to the other side, when the BluesMan comes to town.

When The Bluesman Comes To Town
Give me that sweet soul-sucking blues, Where my heart drops, My mood drops, Quicker than a stone in a well of ***** Wail out to me that poor county tune, With the man who lost everything, Save for his heartache and a guitar, Where he tells me of that bad juju. Caress me with that sad ballad, Of that woman who you love unconditionally, Who can't give you what you need, Where you can't ever get back that piece of your heart, A piece that will forever be wilted and grey. I'll drink it up, A sponge that is fit to absorb it, I'll do it all live long day, I live for it, Maybe it's a subtle masochism, To hold my own pains at bay.

Give me a double of sad songs, with a blues chaser
Do not look at me with sad eyes reflecting a life you choose to hate Good intentions backed by bad juju I see it behind your dead end job hidden in your lack of hobbies There in the emptiness in your mind is the remnants of the dream you let atrophy As it got weak you got stuck in a place you thought would be another stepping stone Do not look at me with eyes shooting bile behind a smile that breeds contempt I refuse to be touched by your silent hope of my failure You cannot **** my dreams just because you let yours die Do not look at me with eyes that plead for me to carry you along for my ride It is mine alone My dream cannot feed you I will not lay it at your feet to sully it's purity with the soles of the shoes you use to walk through your own crap Do not look at me with the hope that my dreams With give their life for yours "Smile and the world smiles with you" only works when hope springs eternal There is no hope in that job that grows while watching your soul die So I do not smile as I walk down the street I look straight ahead holding fast to all that makes me whole And if I do look at you... I look at you with kindness and I am happy for your success I look at you with understanding for we are all going through the consequences of our choices I look at you with hope that you see me and remember you once had a dream I look at you and wish you love and peace and maybe Reflected in my eyes You can see the best of who you are

FORTRESS
It was on November, when you stopped writing me poems, giving me notes and singing me songs. It was on November, when your hugs felt a bit lighter. When before, They used to be so much tighter. It was on that month when the fall began. When the ghosts of the past, came hunting us back In the form of someone. And I watched as you fell, on the graves of an old love. Leaving me in pieces. I buried you in peace, Not a single tear I shed. Because you said, it would be a shame to cry for a man so lame. So I never did, I never cried. Now, the ghosts no longer comes back. And the only ones that never cease on hunting me, Were our memories. - Juju

November Fall
Hope I never let u down Being a dad is tough Well, not ..tough but hectic Never feeling u have enough But I guess if there's love As cheesy as it sounds Food and shelter theres no Reason to frown But I can't help questioning Every decision I make Now considering my son B4 every step I take And living on selfish impulse And all life's temptations Has made this new change So hard to just take in But I still strive to make em And better myself cause we Must better our situation And the better I am the better hell be But I can't help but think my peak Still may not be suffice If I want to give my son the Best opportunities in life So Plz know juju if u ever Read this one day That I did my best and even That isn't enuf u could say For me but for u I hope u can say it is And there is no greater Love in ur life than that of ur kid So as I go on, I do my best And second guess my acts But unconditional love I do not Cause I got a lot of that.... Love u juju... So much...

second guessing myself
I am In Love With The World I am in love with the rain when the sun is shinning In love with the thinning blades of grass when noon is peaking The change from dusk to dawn The mating of birds and hounds. I care for the full moon And the constallation of stars I'm in love with the African baboon And the roses that bloom in june Trees and shrubs that just are Green and sparse I delight in the birth puppies and the milking of cows Creatures of the earth that walk or just crawl I am in love with sedimentary rocks And sands of the sahara I am into streams and rivers Gold and silver that I am yet to see Into themes of the titanic and dreams of a mad man I like the farmer at his digging and the proffesor at his teaching The pastor at his preaching I admire the rapper's muse The idential triplets on the news I admire a soldier's courage As do I the techniques of the runway model. The orange cottage by the hill I am fascinated by the witch doctors juju and miracles of the Christian faith The politician's sway The beauty of love and the comfort of hope And ooh! The milky way I am intrigued by the internet's scope I love the lover's gaze and.. The rainbow after a storm Nature and all creation I am intrigued by the prophet Muhammed and the philosophy of the atheist Existance,Diversity,Intergration,Divinity

I amIn Love With the World
Woman, Hear my cries. Woman, here she lies Woman, don’t turn away Woman, So powerful are they. With your haunting eyes And your seductive ways Only you can match The game he plays You can make it end A sway of your hips I swear lord This is just one bad trip Woman, hear my cries Woman, here she lies Woman, don’t turn away Woman, so powerful are they All you have to do, Is work a little bit Of your natural juju The man is down with it Fire in your fingertips Heavens known in your lips Won’t you cast your magical spell Honey it will do us all well Woman, Hear my cries. Woman, here she lies Woman, don’t turn away Woman, So powerful are they. Baby you can put them in their grave Those **** worthless knaves Thanked by a woman’s generation No more silent contemplations. Yeah it’s safe for all. Come listen to the woman’s call. Clad in only her leather black. Only till she’s needed will she come back. Woman, Hear my cries. Woman, here she lies Woman, don’t turn away Woman, So powerful are they. Ha! Not anymore Babydoll.

Woman
i dont wanna be that girl, nobody wants that pressure to be an idealization. im me, me is julia. julia holds herself, she doesnt let other people effect her thinking or acting or decision making processes. so you shouldnt either. dont act because you want someone to see you that way, act because you like the way it makes you feel. live for yourself, until you find your match. then you live for your family, what you love, only because you couldnt bare to see them hurt, and you should care how they see you. theyre whats matters most to you, you spend an hour getting ready to see them. take the time to think through how they would feel hearing about what your doing. those who care dont matter, those who matter wont care.
