* Hindi lahat ng prinsipyo ay tama gaano man ito kapositibo. Ang kawastuhan ng bawat prinsipyo at pananaw ay naaayon sa: panahon, tao, katangian at kakayanan nito, konkretong kalagayan at kung minsa'y kasama pati ang kulturang kinabibilanagan. Kaya ang sabihing "wag **** masyadong seryosohin ang buhay" o kung ano pang mga kasabihan, ay maaaring tama at mali, ayon sa mga nabanggit. Ano't ano pa man, ikaw pa rin ang huling magpapasya. Ano man ang maging pananaw ng ilan sa iyo, ituring **** ito'y bahagi lamang ng buhay...ng buhay mo at hindi nila. 4/1/2016 - Hindi porke nagiisa malungkot na. Dahil mas malungkot kung nakiki-high five ka sa lahat pero pag talikod mo fina-fuck u ka na pala. 4/4/2016 - kahit ano pang sabihin nila, mas masarap pa rin sa pakiramdam yung umiintindi ka ng kapwa kesa sa naninira ng kapwa. kaya sa tingin mo sinong may mas masarap na pakiramdam ngayon? 4/11/2016 - napag-alaman kong hindi sa lahat ng pagkakataon ang iyong pagpapagal ay may mabuting kapalit...na ang iyong mga inaasahan ay may balik. hindi sa lahat ng panahon ang polisiya ay nasusunod.. ni ang itinakdang panukat ang siyang ginagamit na panukat. 4/21/16 - kahit ginawan ka ng masama ng iba, nasaktan ka, 'wag kang gaganti...dahil hindi mo trabaho yun. 'wag **** agawan ng trabaho ang Diyos.

Forbidden Fruit a flavor has
To **** or not to **** that’s the ******* question: Whether 'tis nobler in the bowels to suffer The twists and turns of outrageous rumblings Or to take action against a bellyful of gas, And by farting pump one out? To strain, to bloat No more; and by a mighty outburst we’ll end The gut’s ache, and the thousand natural stenches That the **** is heir to, 'tis a resolution Right devoutly to be wish'd. To **** to **** But perchance to **** there's the ******* problem; For in that mighty **** of doom what turds may come, When we have let the little beauty out from mortal tail, Must give us pause; there's the danger That makes calamity of the farter’s life; For who would bear the sneers and mocks of men, The neighbour’s shock, the lover’s curling lip, The pangs of horrid stench, the ******* o’erflowing, The leaking **** orifice, and the drips, Impatient strainings that the tragic farter makes, When he himself might sweet easance make With a careful prodding finger? Who would a ******** wear, Grunting and sweating with noisome convulsions, But that the dread of solids after air-release, The undiscover'd oozings, from whose delivery No toilet visitor recovers, puzzles the will, And makes us bear the bellyache we have Than fly to others we know not of? Thus indigestion does make cowards of us all; And then the native heave of constipation Is sicklied o'er with the pale fear of defecation; And enterprises of both ******* and crapping With this regard, their currents turn awry, And lose the name of exciting toilet action.

*Casting spells in a song of lust with such beauty undenied. He's chased her half a lifetime and have lost but all his pride. Sailing all the oceans blue He's left his ship dashed on the rocks. Begging for that enchanted kiss from his mermaid as she mocks. Her voice to call within a gale scent heady upon the waves. Nets shredded trying to capture her yet every night he craves. To nary catch a fleeting glimpse of her golden hair or tail. He's chased her 'cross the storming seas as winds and rain did wail. Forever calling out her name He's come to rest in every port. On moonlit nights he hears her song attempts to see her, she does thwart. The scent of salt does show his years but still he sails to her song. Forever on the shifting waves is where his heart belongs.*

A Sailor's Tale
Since you've been away I've trailed the wake of the clouds Just crumbling clay... That lay in the shade that enshrouds Depending on the ifs and mays.    Wake up, my love... Since you haven't been here The sky did nothing but only sang Ambient translations of mocks and jeers As the green blades of earth bared their fangs Mischievous songs that I've held dear.      Wake up, my love... Since you've been gone I've realised that I'm not moving And you too, haven't moved since last dawn A reality all too disheartening Bits of me all cut up and sawn.          Wake up my love... Since you've been missing I am never whole, and never will A lifetime of endless chasing Bottomless jar without a seal Void clustered emptiness in need of filling.             Wake up, my love... Since you've been absent I could only hope for this lungful To lead me to subsequent Ones that taste like bitter pills encapsuled. Mind full of drugs running rampant.                Wake up, my love... Since you wouldn't have known What these days are like... Time induced tumours have grown The hours impale with temporal spikes... Inseminating malignant thoughts soon to be sown.                   Wake up, my love... Since you've been away I'm a player hoping for a fair game Nonetheless still crumbling clay... That lay in the dark just the same Choking on the what ifs and what mays.

Wake Up, My Love
I've written about the wind More than countless times. I've always been so envious Of it's freedom. But now more than ever The jealousy burns me The air How it moves and turns It's free And it can touch you. It gets to brush those lips I miss, And swirl around in your lungs. It's ubiquitous limbs Brush up against your arms And weave between those fingers it can hold your hands like I used to it can do everything I can't. but what I'm most covetous of how it can watch you and rest it's head against you how it can twist in between the cracks in your smile. the wind is my enemy she is the temptress that mocks me she laughs while I cry because she lives in your lips and you have no idea

Wind envy
The mirror mocks my every move Every lump I try to smooth The mirror cons me of my happiness Knot in my throat, stuck like this Dysmorphia I feel the corners of my mouth Like they're tied to the ground I try to fix it, try to heal I try to replace it, the shame I feel Dysmorphia Feeling visceral Indescribable If only I could find Something comparable Dysmorphia

Dysmorphia (12/23/2019)
Sweet gentle daughter of dreaming blue eyes Reflecting visions from some distant sphere; Untainted by nightmares of icy fear, Nor saddened yet by fate's mocking disguise. Unopened book of fickle tomorrow, Not certain of how future may unfold, With hours of lead or hours of molten gold; Unenlightened yet by unknown sorrow. Sands rush through the hourglass of wasted years, While breaking our young hearts with shattered dreams. The clock of life wrings disappointed tears, Unhampered by our plans and clever schemes. Beware grim reaper swinging ***** blade Who mocks thee as childhood days slowly fade. ~Hilda~

Sonnet X: Sweet Gentle Daughter of Dreaming Blue Eyes
How this **** fable instructs And mocks! Here's the parody of that moral mousetrap Set in the proverbs stitched on samplers Approving chased girls who get them to a tree And put on bark's nun-black Habit which deflects All amorous arrows. For to sheathe the ****** shape In a scabbard of wood baffles pursuers, Whether goat-thighed or god-haloed. Ever since that first Daphne Switched her incomparable back For a bay-tree hide, respect's Twined to her hard limbs like ivy: the puritan lip Cries: 'Celebrate Syrinx whose demurs Won her the frog-colored skin, pale pith and watery Bed of a reed. Look: Pine-needle armor protects Pitys from Pan's assault! And though age drop Their leafy crowns, their fame soars, Eclipsing Eva, Cleo and Helen of Troy: For which of those would speak For a fashion that constricts White bodies in a wooden girdle, root to top Unfaced, unformed, the nipple-flowers Shrouded to suckle darkness? Only they Who keep cool and holy make A sanctum to attract Green virgins, consecrating limb and lip To chastity's service: like prophets, like preachers, They descant on the serene and seraphic beauty Of virgins for virginity's sake.' Be certain some such pact's Been struck to keep all glory in the grip Of ugly spinsters and barren sirs As you etch on the inner window of your eye This ****** on her rack: She, ripe and unplucked, 's Lain splayed too long in the tortuous boughs: overripe Now, dour-faced, her fingers Stiff as twigs, her body woodenly Askew, she'll ache and wake Though doomsday bud. Neglect's Given her lips that lemon-tasting droop: Untongued, all beauty's bright juice sours. Tree-twist will ape this gross anatomy Till irony's bough break.

At the back of the noisy cafe bent over a table sits an old man; a newspaper in front of him, without company. And in the scorn of his miserable old age he ponders how little he enjoyed the years when he had strength, and the power of the word, and good looks. He knows he has aged much; he feels it, he sees it. And yet the time he was young seems like yesterday. How short a time, how short a time. And he ponders how Prudence deceived him; and how he always trusted her -- what a folly! -- that liar who said: "Tomorrow. There is ample time." He remembers the impulses he curbed; and how much joy he sacrificed. Every lost chance now mocks his senseless wisdom. ...But from so much thinking and remembering the old man gets dizzy. And falls asleep bent over the cafe table.

An Old Man
Proud little peacock Plumage up for display No need for repeated mocks No need for you to say I can clearly see For we may be quiet but we have eyes Strutting conspicuously Showing off your prize We already know you have it We all do On the sidelines we sit Seeing you through Tell me little bird What do you get When you say your words Were your objectives met? Everytime I hear them Just makes me gag I'd roll my eyes Just hearing you brag People'll give you When accolades are deserving But I suppose they're never enough 'Cause I still see you parading Well I know I may be unpredictable A tad bit capricious To be honest, you... You're simply being ostentatious ...and it's annoying the hell out of me...

World is given through her womb Life by her love She's a shooting star Fulfilling the dreams of others Forgetting her ones. We don't dare to appreciate her We don't care to her feelings, Nor her dreams. She swallows her pride To serve us might. Love her, she loves you tonnes Ignore her, she loves you loads Ignores our ignorance And tolerates our flaws Complaining never Her cries are often unheard With tears invisible, Trauma a smile Patience at infinity With words unspoken. She's a ocean Vast to explore Hard to understand But plain as river With thoughts deeper. Her self respect Often misspelled as ego, Society mocks her down earth And she raises like a tree From a buried seed Her every move Is judgemental, With several eyes poking her And so she became unpredictable. Never try to understand, rather love her. She gives life. She is a mother. She makes home. She is a wife. She is a sister, a savior till the ends. She is precious because she is a daughter She refuses to retire because she's born a woman. And do you feel she deserves just a single day!?

Basking in postcoital bliss, talking between the sheets catching our breath, giggling with laughter treats Laying in the afterglow, tangled in the sheets sweating cooling skin, and completing greater feats Blissful in post euphoria, feeling quite appeased finding comfort in warm arms, putting me at ease Still sighing, touching, tasting, nuzzled in content reveling in the splendor, our minds and bodies, spent Let me drink, this moment in, before we turn to clocks, wishing only to start again, as seconds ticking  mocks. Snuggling together, eyes and hands so locked wishing for ourselves, more hours, on the clock

Splendid aftermath (Collaboration with Temporal Fugue)
Secret wish stands hidden in cliché riddled green patch this neon bird mocks red capped garden dwellers serenely seated bookish girl half-dead fern leans towards hot pink beacon salvation bent crescent moon casts feathery palm shadows with curved arms against the bamboo fence lifting earthbound desires skyward.

BY ARCASSIN BURNHAM waitin for the mornin to open its eyes, Shes waitin for me, but dosent know that dawn has found me, she mocks the sun, your ignorance is a bliss, one step from a kiss, i guess i should have known better, so beautiful as love itsself, But inside, evil as sin, when, when will the morning come, love aint going anywhere, im always here.

"The - Cut Of Dawn"
Happy as something unimportant and free as a thing unimportant. As something no one prizes and which does not prize itself. As something mocked by all and which mocks at their mockery. As laughter without serious reason. As a yell able to out yell itself. Happy as no matter what, as any no matter what. Happy as a dog’s tail.

Happy as a Dog’s Tail
With a smile the martyr ascends. Killing for peace. Dieing for peace. Thrives for peace. With a smile the martyr ascends. Paradise in eyes they die. Tears in eyes they die. Twisted ties of us all seem to die. With a smile the martyr ascends. As he ascends he lives on. Everyone mocks the martyr and where he will live on. Some claim he will not live on. Martyr martyr I believe you live on. Your cross can carry you, Into the caressing arms of your dreams. Martyr martyr can you take me? I've wanted to be happy for so long. With a smile the martyr ascends. They all laugh. Shunning him they all laugh. Mocking his one hit or miss chance to finally find peace they all laugh. With a smile the martyr ascends. They all think less of you I am sorry. They all hate you for your sacrifice I am sorry. Your god will reward you because it too will be sorry. Martyr martyr I believe you live on. Your cross can carry you, Into the caressing arms of your dreams. Martyr martyr can you take me? I've wanted to be happy for so long.

With A Smile The Martyr Ascends
this is a poem dedicated to distance. to every time i have wanted to kiss you, but couldn't. to every time i looked at my empty hands and thought of yours. to every time i was in a crowded room and secretly hoped that i'd find your face. to every happy couple we see that inadvertently mocks our inability to be near each other. to every time i've played your laughter over and over in my head to drown out the silence. to every time you just wanted to hear my voice, but i was busy. to every missed call and every undelivered text and every time your internet was down. to every miscommunicated statement and every typo. to every time that one of us was asleep when the other needed them. to every time you wept and i wasn't there to hold you. to every self-destructive tendency we share. to every pill your mother has hidden and every razor blade i have flushed. to every worry that plagues my consciousness whenever you take long to reply. to every night we have been together through a screen, but alone in our beds. to every, "i miss you" and "i wish you were here". to every broken-record apology that never makes it better. to every makeup stain that mars the sweater you sent me so that i could feel like i was sleeping with you (and to the fact that it doesn't smell like you anymore). to every hour, every minute, every second of difference in the time between us. to every dollar i don't have, and every time i wished for your chest against my back. to every, "why are you even with me?" and "you could do better". to every spectator and cynic that has told us we'd fail. to every doubt of mine and to all your jealousy. to every ounce of water in the pacific ocean. to every ******* mile between my head and your chest (i checked, and there are 9,752). you will not win. - m.f.

*Whispers surround me, I can't understand them, I can only hear the voice. The voice who calls, The voice who mocks, The voice who laughs, The voice who haunts. I can't stop it, I try to ignore it, Only for the voice to scream, "YOU CAN'T WIN!!" I always wonder. How long will i have to face this torture?*

People keep asking me how I’m doing. If I’m getting better or if I’ve taken the time to process what’s happened. If I’ve sought professional help for the metal percussions induced by my career-ending injury. In all honesty though, professional help is futile. It can’t save me now. I’m walking through hell and sitting in a ring of fire discussing the temperature of the searing flames would be idiotic. Why would I allow the flames to dance along my already seared skin longer than necessary? I know they’re hot. I know I’m in hell. I know the pain I feel every day is real and crippling. Talking about this pain wouldn’t end it. It wouldn’t diminish the heat. It wouldn’t help. I need to keep walking. I just need to keep walking. My crippled body can’t run anymore, but I’ve got to keep walking. Others continue to rush by. Frantic because they’ve never felt the flames. They aren’t familiar with the burn. The idea of being in hell is novel. They are novices.   But life hasn’t been kind to me. These flames are familiar with every curve of my body and they dance around with trained feet. I’ve been in hell for years. People continue suggesting I find the light at the end of the tunnel, but that’s near impossible here. I’m too blinded by the brightness of a vehement flame. Sizzling with an angry vigor for the lack of gratitude I bestowed on my past life. It mocks the speed at which I used to be able to run. It laps sardonically at the feet that used to run cheer-inducing speeds without thanks from their owner. But crowds don’t cheer my name anymore. I now stand on the sidelines and watch my team play. I burn alive for the game I used to breath and as I watch each and every game, the deep breaths of oxygen only continue alighting the fire. There’s no way out it seems, but I will try to keep walking. Because talking is futile. Note: Spinal diseases are crippling mentally and physically. Watching the body you've sculpted for years turn to mush because you can't workout is dilapidating . The despair and helplessness are unfamiliar feelings, feelings that can't be overcome. Disease is disease and sometimes it can't be stopped. Sometimes, it just becomes a burden to bear. And sometimes people aren't strong enough. It's different when careers end after four years of college. An expected end, an anticipated end. But when things you love are taken from you abruptly, before your finished. The pain is exponentially worse. Exponentially. Worse.

I burn alive for the game I used to breath and as I watch each and every game, the deep breaths of oxygen only continue alighting the fire. There’s no way out it seems, but I will try to keep walking. Because talking is futile. Note: Spinal diseases are crippling mentally and physically. Watching the body you've sculpted for years turn to mush because you can't workout is dilapidating . The despair and helplessness are unfamiliar feelings, feelings that can't be overcome. Disease is disease and sometimes it can't be stopped. Sometimes, it just becomes a burden to bear. And sometimes people aren't strong enough. It's different when careers end after four years of college. An expected end, an anticipated end. But when things you love are taken from you abruptly, before your finished. The pain is exponentially worse. Exponentially. Worse.

What is this Satirical mask That weeps self-deprecating tears Through plastic slits Down over a contorted smile That mocks society In pictoral flagellations Of an aching conscience.

Satirical Mask

My snares are all in vain. I close my eyes and meditate for inspiration's gain. An empty net a vacant trap the target still eludes. Perhaps tomorrow try again away from darker moods.**

The puzzle is never solved. They are looked at and pointed at by children who don't know that we're supposed to pity them. *Oh Son, Oh Daughter they have Autism! Oh, I feel so bad!* The straight jackets and shocks have turned to stares and mocks. They didn't to choose to be born this way a piece of a puzzle that doesn't fit. We look at them and thank God that its not us. Its not me. But the indifference doesn't work. We thank God that its not us. But do we ever feel any empathy? If you could imagine having a retardation never really fully understanding anything A chromosomal abnormality that would affect your whole life forever. Having to be watched always having someone taking care of you you would never have any independence. Autism seemed to be their name "he's Autistic" It wasn't their name. There is much more to them. These people used to be tortured people thought that they had a demon inside of them that we had to get out. What we never realized was that the real demon was us.
