"mommies" poems
Picketed, another generation pushing for advancement in the age of reason, Logical, radical movement Trying for less invasive measures of medication To take the blinders off the prejudice of non-conformity and reach the masses A promise to ease the pain, promote healing, the overall good Met with violence, verbal slander, from mommies and daddies afraid of a world outside their white fence, Fearing independence, the expansion of the mind, an openness in their youth to allow radical change. The bloated belt bent backwards, white collar replaced by hedonistic practical libertarians in pursuit of happiness for all Sick, disgusted with the man, the one behind the podium whom allows for this animosity on a group that did everything right, legally sound Tired of hearing the whispers across a university, the hopeful gushing’s of elated individuals bright- eyes naive Of a system that won’t allow something this controversial into the public, afraid to lose their hold on a potential capitol On something that should be as easy to find in a free market as Captain Crunch, Coca-Cola, and Rice Krispy Treats. Grinding down, fluffy-green-crystal bud Dank yellow smoke smoldering out of pipes end, seeping out of closed lips billowing out of nostrils Dragon fire down a throat coated with a week worth of soot, and experience Choking, coughing, laughing away the misery The disappointment in her fellow man to refuse to even consider the validity of a proven product Knowing that if it was anything else a miracle drug composed of fairy dust, unicorn hair and the ***** of a thousand angels; approval would have been immediate. Whip lash. Flick, flame, fumigating Baking myself into a calmer state, watching with ****** off grace Twitching with the need to take action To control this negative reaction, to slap the of face limp **** conservatives So consumed with themselves, blind to the pain of people who have lost hope in other forms of relief Alternative therapy shut off by a system obsessed with its war on drugs.

Beneath the surface of the earth, Beneath the green and sodden turf, Wendy wombat, supreme digger Raced to make her tunnels bigger, Pulling dirt with mighty claws And toiling hard without a pause Ensconced within her little pouch, So small they had no need to crouch, Her children slept, all warm and dry, As mud and dirt went flying by, Quite unaware how nature planned To lend them all a helping hand For wombat pouches don't get full Of dirt and mud as mommies pull, For mother nature in her wisdom Looked upon her magic kingdom, Saw the wombats under ground And wisely turned their pouches round!

#*Multitudes will be liberated by that recognition; and although multitudes obtain liberation in that manner, the number of sentient beings being great, evil karma powerful, obscurations dense, propensities o too long standing, the Wheel of Ignorance and Illusion becometh neither exhausted nor accelerated*.            The Tibetan Book of the Dead           translation:  Lāma Kazi Dawa-Samdup Free Tibet your sticker tells me… Yes, I think, perhaps I should – and the noble thought compels me, uninformed, half-understood. Will their freedom help my Karma? Upgrade my reincarnation? (Soul who could not dare to harm a fly… much less a Buddhist nation.) Not to justify aggression by the ever-brutal Commies, let us grant no glib concession to the Maoists – or their mommies. Slogans echo in the void, shining in bardos of the dead; stopped by the light, I am annoyed impatient for the change from red. A bumper crop of human woe beams forth a mandate to my brain while red Dakinis circle slow in Buddhist hells of karmic pain. The eastern concepts here diverge and bow before brutality. They make this driver long to merge with incorporeality. Then I glimpse a monkish fellow swathed in saffron, calmly seated. His, the cloud-borne sage’s pillow; mine the traffic; stalled, defeated. In his gaze of stern displeasure I perceive the orient stars calculating man’s mismeasure trapped, exhausted, among the cars. Flanked by Spirits wreathed in fire he extends an accusing hand: Western slave of base desire: come and  liberate my land !” I meditate before the stop light: am I ready for the task ? Should I just refuse it outright Can’t it be someone else ?  I ask… Must I free this mountain nation from the Buddha, demons and Reds? Shall your sticker’s declaration shatter the yoke and raise their heads ? Somebody ought to free Tibet, and heed this Himalayan cry. Maybe we should get upset… The red light changes. Cars pass by, predestined for benign events and unconcerned for persecution; oblivious to dissidents awaiting execution.

Ungrateful Kids
Long hikes and motorbikes, Cabins, starlight, kids and tykes, Parents, and mommies soon to be, Gather at the greenest tree. Spirits in ******* are unbound, Where the silence drowns the sound; The victories that love has won. We are never far when we are one.

Loons in the vineyard –  sound the alarm ! Satan is milking his metaphors. Such silly music portends no harm; call home the cows and open your doors. Brian Hugh Warner, a paleface freak after finding his mom’s mascara darker enlightenment did seek and crowned himself with Baal’s tiara. Scary drag-queen, scandalous, vain Marilyn – the creepy thespian rolled that fish-eye and snorted ******* like Crowley…  how pedestrian. Flashing his glowing cataract, he gave the mommies quite a fright. Censorship launched; no badder act did sail (or assail) our sinking night. Gothic dim-wits purchased CD’s bought the goods, pierced parts, wore black. (Cause for certain parents’ unease: MTV’s Antichrist on the attack). Son of Man – or rather, Manson Milked to the max his demonic cow; playing Satan’s naughty grandson showing the flustered milk-maids how. Urban legend surrounds this fowl (those ribs removed – like Adam’s sin!) Is he a misunderstood night owl – or a has-been loon in a loony bin? Rock-stars age (well, most) like a cheap wine. or else in the way once-ripened grapes withering, sun-struck, off the vine transform, with age, into wizened shapes. No – I am wrong. They age like prunes; plums thus pass into their glory. Even Luciferian loons find lakes of fire at end of story.

*The most broken people live on earth.   Not even a good poet and wont pretend to be. I fell asleep at my desk reading boring poems in school. I failed the test on how many stanza in a poem. Writing about broke people makes me feel good. It's a long *** poem so read it or not read it. Word up!* Call me white boy playing black hipster like the broken record Miley.   I can't type twerk on my keyboard but turning all ghetto on y'all. Lady done done all she can to shock and mess with our minds. What she gone do next, buy a house in a black hood and live there? That's messed up and so I'm dumb and I love attention. I live in a big town population less than sixteen thousand. We listed on the map as a god ****** city. Word up! I need to be a hipster and I'm going hood on y'all. In my hood I see houses needing fixing and painting. Got a friend who lives in a trailer park metal piece that goes around the bottom of his trailer fell off and his pipes froze during that weather deep freeze. He's renting that trailer that should be condemned like most trailers in that park but who the **** cares? He's got a roof over his head and he should be grateful he ain't homeless like the rest of the trailer park dwellers. Landlords don't give a **** they care about collecting rent. We got men and women living on internet trolling Craigslist. Most trolling hoping to find dates are married. Single men and women seeking sugar daddies and mommies. They are broken people. I walk down streets and our old and newer malls. Same weird *** people shop at both. I see women yelling at kids with ****** diapers that smell bad. One used the back of her hand to wipe a snot nose then went back to talking and texting. Women with babies at home meeting men they met on personals. Good place to hide when they married or got men. Leave the babies at home with sitters or family and find new men. Hanging out at malls is a fake. "Meet me at my pickup in a half hour and don't wear ****** Read that message on a burner cell I found at the new mall. It's a burner so it don't need to be returned. Read the rest and she is married and has more than one lover she met off personals. Work it girl and keep the sugar daddies coming! How many broken moms who should not be moms exist? There are too many broken people who exist.

We held each other like breaths under water, day old infants in their mommies arms, and dreams we never meant to wake from. You touched me like I was your instrument, a texture you were testing to buy, and a newly used pan after cooking breakfast. I loved you like my favorite tv show, warm blankets on a subzero night, and the tattoos I designed with you in mind. There are no amount of      similes I could say to express how much I miss you, yet here I am again writing like an author striving for a movie deal.

Similes; plus Similes
Eucalyptus filled air Sheets of warm and cold air Early tasmac drinkers Weary eyed dads Bye bye -ing mommies Dung splattering cows whipped pedigree dogs Scared insects Proud birds Flowers with an attitude The pig A hero Swarmed stinking Dirtiest of them all And a early morning feast Charming brown eyed street dogs Question marked trees Washed pavements Drooling men Betel chewing glaring women Girls in floral blouses sweeping Sh -sh -sh -sh -sh Autos rrrrrr Shock absorbing nike shoes krr krr krrr krr A cigarette **** A sad memory Pushed aside By the brush of a hand pushed to a remote corner Hidden another memory a recent one with a scaredy cat Which i want to share and party with Was vivid Ornamented ladies lighting lamps to a dead god Guarded by vain priests Obesience and giving life for people Lost in hope and fear A parallel existence Corporates blaring into phones Fit men playing tennis Small sturdy grass Petite flowers Swaying and dancing Everlasting Everlasting ? Is it a will or maybe or a should be ?

A WALK
Stop mommies, stop daddies I want to see the stars too, And chase the lightening bugs like you. Don’t **** the night, With all of our lights. Save it for me. Don’t steal it with your new bought glee. May we turn out our lights? Maybe for just one night? So that I can raise my eyes, To the stars above, And feel the magic and mystery, The velvety black night brings,           For now, And for all of eternity. Now may we turn down our lights, And turn some off too, So that I can grow, Under this star filled sky Free from  the glow, For the rest of my life? And my children’s and their children’s too?

Thanks to Him for kiddie toes. Tumbling, treading, running boy toes. Greeting the day toes, grabbing the bases toes. Wiggle in the tub toes. All hail for girlie toes. Ready to be a ballerina toes. Jumping, giggling, big girl toes. Tip-toeing in the night, jump-in-your-bed toes. Give praise for almost-grown toes. Boy-toe-touching-girl-toe toes, All tingling, thrilling toes. I know everything! toes. Do not withhold thanks for grown-up toes Hurry. Carry. Do. Stop. Go. toes. Weary, Pushing, Grasping toes. Reaching for another under the covers toes.

When I say Zombies ate my neighbors, I'm not talking about a video game. Zombies ate my neighbors and I'm one of the Zombies who is to blame. Because my family and I are undead, it put us in very bad moods. My family and I croaked because our neighbors poisoned our food. A big corporation was going to pay top dollar for every house on the block. But when my family and I refused to sell, the neighbors were angry and shocked. I wouldn't sell the house that I've lived in since I was five. And that is why my wife and kids and I did not survive. Our neighbors had a barbecue and my family and I ate the food that they grilled. But we wouldn't have touched the food if we had known that we would be killed. My family and I have risen from the grave, we have green skin and are zombies. When our neighbors saw us, they ****** their pants and cried for their mommies. Our neighbors killed us because money was something they thought they'd gain. When we had our homicidal neighbors for supper, we started with their brains. Our greedy neighbors killed us and we returned the favor. Stay away from my family and I because human flesh is what we savor.

Ungrateful Pukes
In my house there is a cupboard Full of VHS tapes One of them is a recording of a news broadcast On it I stand Hospital gowned and smiling Clowns are there on the terrace where it was filmed Painting our faces They all smile I smile The other kids smile None of us over 4 feet But balding Black eyed and missing toothed A clown takes my hand and begins to paint It is cold The paint And the Terrace I tell her how I want to run away with her She smiles Maybe On camera You can see my back through the open gown The bones make me look like a brontosaurus I turn to the camera Remembering I was told never to smile with the paint on or it will crack The circles under my eyes are gone My lips are red My cheeks are tan I look normal Off camera mommies and daddies are crying Off camera the clowns are crying On camera There is a terrace full of dying children In a hospital And we all looked normal

parenting isn't for everyone
A 15 year old girl with 3 ****** partners almost up to 4 Living without essentials because her family lives poor Feeding in addiction while her body craves more She's growing up too fast and she's doing it alone She says she needs the drugs because she won't make it on her own So she lights up that blunt and snorts some of that coke As her body sub-misses to the drug she says softly "don't tell my folks" Deeper and deeper she sinks into her own hellish abyss As a child she never thought life could be like this But she also thought daddies weren't supposed to hit mommies And little girls were supposed to just play with their dollies Instead of hiding from step-brothers with lust in their eyes Just to be found in her room at night, awaiting a not so pleasant surprise Her life has been nothing but bad days with dark skies A 15 year old girl with 4 ****** partners almost up to 5 Married to *** pain and drugs She makes a beautiful wife Married to the death of love She makes a beautiful wife

A Beautiful Wife
We live In an era, Where our peers are our oppressors And your judged as a person By the contents of your dresser We need to make a change now Let's see if we can make it better Walking through a school hall getting spat on Cause you don't have the right jeans or ******* shirt on These superficial glamor nazis don't know me Looking down from there towers living on golden streets Kids cry at night when they lay between the sheets All they can think is "why? You don't even know me All these kids obsessed with jays and they thread count Looking at the outside and not what I'm about It's sickening, they got a fashion addiction. Living off of daddies money and mommies perscriptions Yet they don't look in the mirror and see the cynical villain That they turned out to be Can't see the hypocrisy And I'm honestly fed up I grew up on cheap clothes but the best love Maybe it's love those kids need a little more of

Fashion addicts
Her birthday is on the anniversary of the Boston Tea Party, She love to garden and cook, Guess you can blame that on her Italian heritage. She has one tattoo I convinced her to get with me, A humming bird on our right foot… She has silver shinny hair, And loves to scrapbook and take pictures where ever we go. But most of all, She’s my mother and my best friend. She keeps all my little secrets, And her ears are always ready to listen. (Even when I talk them off) Some of my happiest memories, Are of being in her company. Spa night’s with hair rapped up in a towel, And nails painted, and laughs till bedtime. Girls weekends at my apartment, Sipping Blue Nun wine and watching “Breakfast at Tiffany’s” But the thing that gets me most is, She is and always will be there When I feel no one else is. When I first dealt with depression and bipolar, I was scared, and I felt alone. But she held me through every nightmare, And dried every single tear, Cause that’s what mommies do best. And believe me when I say she should get The mother of the year award, Cause I may be adopted, But when people ask me who my mom is, I say her, Cause she deserves that title more than anyone in the universe!

Mommy & Me
Oh shall we play space men today and build a rocket Ted we need two suits some gloves and boots and helmets for our head A packing crate stood tall and straight dad's funnel placed on top three books so thin each one a fin and Mommies broken mop A beanbag chair we two can share and buttons we can push some sandwiches and light switches and cans of Orange crush Some dials and springs and other things we found in daddies shed now that looks neat so take a seat and start the countdown Ted We watched the stars that once so far where now within our grip Count ten to one ignition on Blast off in rocket ship The silver moon would greet us soon as upward we both sped through clouds of white to black of night just me and mister Ted The rocket turned as thrusters burned as we altered our course for here you see the gravity Had very little force We journeyed forth toward the north by meteor and star as comets whizzed and pinged and fizzed and flew both near and far We passed the plough and saw a cow jump clean over the moon then stations manned prepared to land beside a giant dune Beneath our feet a silver sheet of fallen stars and sand and as we two took in the view Ted held me by the hand The solar breeze blew round our knees and tickled as it passed time now to go yes Ted I know this day has gone so fast seated inside we watched the tide So slowly ebb and flow then 10 to 1 zero and gone we raced the mornings glow home safe and sound we kissed the ground and ran in for our tea I turned to Ted and softly said the moon just winked at me What shall we be next time said he cowboys or maybe kings I do not know I whispered low let's see what morning brings

You were hungry tonight at midnight And woke me up out of a dead sleep For the fifth time in a row, But I got up and fed you, And that’s okay, Because that’s what Mommies do. Today you started to walk And thought I was crazy Because I videoed you And talked about how that Big guy named Daddy, Who’s been here since day one, Wasn’t here to see. And I was squealing The whole time. But that’s okay, Because that’s what Mommies do. Today you started to talk And your first word was “Ma-ma" And I laughed and cried But that’s okay, Because that’s what Mommies do. Then you learned how to ride a trike And soon after that a bike. You looked at me like I was nuts After I said something about how You were growing up too fast. But that’s okay, Because that’s what’s Mommies do. When you are ten, And you’re upset Because you played kickball And you were picked last, I won’t tell you it’s no big deal, Because Mommy knows just how you feel. I’ll tell you it’s their loss, But I know right now, It feels like yours. Then I’ll hug you and we’ll get icecream And talk about how we’ve never liked kickball anyway, And that’s okay, Because that’s what Mommies do. Today I told you That’s it’s okay to be mad And it’s okay to be sad. But when you’re mad, Count to ten and When very mad one hundred, Just like Jefferson said, And don’t let anger Get the best of you. When you’re mad And you don’t know what to do And the mad you have makes you feel sad, You can come sit in my lap, even when you’re twenty-two, And we’ll try to talk it through, Because that’s what Mommies do. When you’re sixteen, And you like someone But you don’t want to, Because it doesn’t fit the Five-year plan, I’ll tell you how I had a Five-year plan But I met Daddy in Year Two And a week before Year Three, I knew he was the one for me. So before Year Three Was halfway done, Daddy and I Had the same last name. And by Year Five, Daddy and I found out Soon there would be A little baby in our house. I’ll tell you how sometimes your dreams change From traveling to Greece, To wiping tear-stained cheeks And that’s okay, Because that’s what Mommies do. When you go off to college, Or maybe to China, Like your aunt did, To take care Of babies who Don’t have mommies, Or wind up in the army To protect your country, Like your uncle, I’ll be waving goodbye And crying Because it feels like Part of me is dying But that’s okay, Because that’s what Mommies do.

Because That's What Mommies Do
You were hungry tonight at midnight And woke me up out of a dead sleep For the fifth time in a row, But I got up and fed you, And that’s okay, Because that’s what Mommies do. Today you started to walk And thought I was crazy Because I videoed you And talked about how that Big guy named Daddy, Who’s been here since day one, Wasn’t here to see. And I was squealing The whole time. But that’s okay, Because that’s what Mommies do. Today you started to talk And your first word was “Ma-ma" And I laughed and cried But that’s okay, Because that’s what Mommies do. Then you learned how to ride a trike And soon after that a bike. You looked at me like I was nuts After I said something about how You were growing up too fast. But that’s okay, Because that’s what’s Mommies do. When you are ten, And you’re upset Because you played kickball And you were picked last, I won’t tell you it’s no big deal, Because Mommy knows just how you feel. I’ll tell you it’s their loss, But I know right now, It feels like yours. Then I’ll hug you and we’ll get icecream And talk about how we’ve never liked kickball anyway, And that’s okay, Because that’s what Mommies do. Today I told you That’s it’s okay to be mad And it’s okay to be sad. But when you’re mad, Count to ten and When very mad one hundred, Just like Jefferson said, And don’t let anger Get the best of you. When you’re mad And you don’t know what to do And the mad you have makes you feel sad, You can come sit in my lap, even when you’re twenty-two, And we’ll try to talk it through, Because that’s what Mommies do. When you’re sixteen, And you like someone But you don’t want to, Because it doesn’t fit the Five-year plan, I’ll tell you how I had a Five-year plan But I met Daddy in Year Two And a week before Year Three, I knew he was the one for me. So before Year Three Was halfway done, Daddy and I Had the same last name. And by Year Five, Daddy and I found out Soon there would be A little baby in our house. I’ll tell you how sometimes your dreams change From traveling to Greece, To wiping tear-stained cheeks And that’s okay, Because that’s what Mommies do. When you go off to college, Or maybe to China, Like your aunt did, To take care Of babies who Don’t have mommies, Or wind up in the army To protect your country, Like your uncle, I’ll be waving goodbye And crying Because it feels like Part of me is dying But that’s okay, Because that’s what Mommies do.

Tell me what to do. One week later, I'm all in black daddy says I'm going to see mommy, so why am I in black, mommy liked purple I persist but daddy held strong and resist. Not to far daddy holds my hand, don't be sad daddy, we seen mommy again, no my child daddy's not sad Daddy's happy that mommy, had you. Oh daddy I say, you so sweet as I give daddy a kiss on the cheek, before long we arrive and daddy, turns and holds me tight, I love you baby, oh those words. Make me fell all fuzzy inside. Mommy we here as I race daddy down, I've never been here why do so many people frown, excuse Mr why are you sad? Daddy hurries to carry me back, I don't get it, why are we here, and where's mommy she said she would be here, where is she daddy I need to know here beds been empty for far to long. Oh my baby Mommies with God, gone to a better bed, made out of love! Don't be afraid my angel, I'm not afraid daddy, I know God daddy, mommy always spoke of him, he seems mighty nice and mommy said I can trust him, each day after school I rush up the stairs to kneel beside mommy and say a pray, we spoke with God daddy, and mommy asked that, when she leaves I pray everyday, I like God daddy, do u like him too, he seems mighty nice please say you do, mommy I'm big now its been ten years, I've grown a lot, I have piercing in my ears, daddy left me today, but not before we prayed, he told me to be strong and pray each and everyday, and every time I need a friend, to ask God to extend a helping hand, mommy I get it you had to leave. And so did daddy, to be Gods friends. mommy I love you daddy I love you too, and mommy and daddy, ill see you soon.

Conversation with Mommy
As come home racing up the stairs, the last place I left mommy was on your bed, where are you mommy why are you not there, as I race to find daddy, he tells me you've gone, gone where daddy, gone where daddy, mommy promised to never be gone, daddy why you crying should I cry too, your face is all red.

Here is the situation, As unfortunate as it is, You no longer have a significant part of my heart. Once there used to be a time, twice a time, when thoughts bombarded my mind and chances were they concerned you. But now my eyes, as reluctant as they are, can see you, You unintentional enchanter. You accidental seducer. You oblivious snarer of infatuated captivation. You are the alpha of canker blossoms. You are the epitome of everything that frustrates me. I used to live in a house where the Walls were your voice and your face. A mental institution in which I was never voluntarily admitted. A house of mirrors in which I couldn’t see myself or anybody else, My thirst for your infatuation reflected, Mocking smiles of every kind. I cried blackened tears that fell to the Ground and then flew into the sky like Bleached ravens, like childhood dreams, So carefully groomed by the mommies and the daddies, Collapsing into little liquid drops dripping through the desperate holes of a strainer. I cried because you seemed to find it Necessary to seek interests in other girls And never me. I am not a bruised apple; I am not a crushed autumn leaf; I am not a discarded baby blanket; And I am not unworthy. So why in god’s oh so deemed holy name Have you not seen me? Or maybe you see it right on my face, Like I’m a displayed canvas as easy to See as red blushed from a pale, void surface, And you are just messing with me. Playing with me As I am your spaniel and you can treat me as such? Like I am a doll whose string you pull And receive a pathetic voice pleading, Love me love me. Am I below your standard of interesting? What could possibly be so wrong with or about me that repulses you? Not you really, but more your interest in me. At this moment I am wound tighter with exasperation More than any moment before. You will always be a tug of war in my life. If only I could simply expel you, The nuisance you are.

Hitting targets dead on, shattering your holistic That ***** articulate, with a pistol whip, sinking ships. You bacon bits, I go HAMM, then I’m taking chips Smoking clips with a Jamaican grip, Black *** with a Caucasian lip That’s a probation chic, yawl mad cause she caught in the grasp Expose ****** who be sporting a mask Call the coroner fast, throwing bows like my arm in a cast Night Night then it’s all in the past Don’t bring it up ***** don’t even ask, trying to put me on blast Dog I put you on *** it be hella fast. Man I’m sending you a telegraph. I just keep thriving to a point past surviving Always had the secret weapon I just kept in in my lining On a uprising, Titanic when I capsize it. Man you swimming with sharks, I’m smooth like sound of a harp In the shape of a heart, on the mark. Cupid arrows, why you playing with darts, same from the start I just finished the spark, how you gone start the fire In the middle of dark, bite start with a bark Try shaking him off, like shacking a cough Shaking the north, down south, but flavor is raw. ***** left cause he south paw, south poor Like a ***** up north, wasn’t born with a silver fork Always went for the gold, ***** gold was the top of the goals Popped out the ****** on top of my toes Mom didn’t know, she was breaking the mold
