"occupation" poems
Dear Queen, Are you real? Or just part of my imagination Cos lately you've given my eyes an occupation Staring at you is work, and everyone in the room is employed That sharp dress cut my tongue out and got me speechless If the dress could cut my head open and read my mind The only thing it would see is a reflection of itself Cos all I think about is you, and you may not be real But you're true The silence you cause in the room, when you walk in People stop talking, its akward. You're on stage, you steal everyone's attention, like a thief Attention is really cheap, but not everyone pays attention. Its crazy right? How a queen falls for a pauper The only way I could ever leave, is if I ... Stop thinking. Yours truly the boy at the back

Letter to the Prom Queen
They came for us with tanks and guns. We stood our ground—the old and young. All our troops had mustered round our Capital--Sacramento town. A New Republic, we’d declared, and its defense, among all would be shared. With the Bear Flag flying high we all came to fight and die. Young men in their combat boots repelled the dictator’s first wave of troops. Civilians came from South and North to resist the fascist ruler’s force. From Frisco and from San Jose, from San Diego and L.A., from Calistoga and Marin, thousands had come pouring in. Then US bombers burned the city, for the orange Fuhrer had no pity. They won the battle, but we all know from history, how these things go. An occupation cannot last against a people whose strength holds fast. The tyrant’s troops will tire, while we will fight on, until we’re free.

XLI I thank all who have loved me in their hearts, With thanks and love from mine. Deep thanks to all Who paused a little near the prison-wall To hear my music in its louder parts Ere they went onward, each one to the mart’s Or temple’s occupation, beyond call. But thou, who, in my voice’s sink and fall When the sob took it, thy divinest Art’s Own instrument didst drop down at thy foot To hearken what I said between my tears, . . . Instruct me how to thank thee! Oh, to shoot My soul’s full meaning into future years, That they should lend it utterance, and salute Love that endures, from Life that disappears!

Sonnet 41 - I Thank All Who Have Loved Me In Their Hearts
Perpetual occupation. Thoughts o’Disgust. A path into oblivion. Who can we trust? 5% of the world population. 20%, prison population. More thoughts. More of disgust. Despair. Hope? Less. And less! Each day I think I forget. Its there. Orange TV show personality. As the leader of the free world?! What kind of world is that? What am I supposed t’think? Oh right. Because he’s free to tweet trash, garbage, putridness, calling everyone out other than himself, calling people dogs? That’s freedom. No thank you. In the meantime, go fix your ******* self! Before you try to fix everyone else.

The Leader of The Free World.
But soft, what flatulence through yonder rancid window breaks.  If it is the east, well then I’m heading west. I wish I could recite this and I wouldn’t be talking about my life, but life is fair… just not for me. So I dive right in unfortunately.  And I bask and I bask and I bask.  Hold on, wait, please allow me to retract, as this occurs numerously within occupation.  I firstly divide the **** cheeks, as if Moses dividing the seas.  Like Jesus I break bread… anyways… my life is literally spent with my nose sandwiched between numerous people’s backsides. This brings me to my next point… I love my job… because I love people.  My favorites are obese people because they suffocate me and for a brief moment I am without consciousness and have not a clue of my reality.  The people I do it for the most though are the unstable people, you know?... the people with digestive problems that are so unstable they sometimes slip and instead of their body gas I am left with a face that looks like a diarrhea toilet.  I am a poet though and therefore I hold onto the only significant job related poem that I’ve seen on our restroom walls… “Here I sit lonely hearted, came to **** but only farted.”

I have friends with whom I share, great poetry and verse. And friends I visit taverns with, to drink with and to curse. And friends with who I share a passion, for music and for art. And also those, just like me, kindred spirits of the heart. Some, I will call, when I am down, and weary from lifes' run. Some, I long to just gift a smile, before every day is done. Some, who seem to need my presence , to heal such a simple pain, Some whose smiles touch my soul, and shelter me from rain. Some who like the same wine as me, some coffee and some books. Some who care little of possessions, some who are all into looks. There are some with whom I share a movie, some I respect their great advice. There are some who are simply pure genius, and others; .... not quite so wise. From professions, they all do differ, no occupation is the same. Most of them have no mutual liking, but two...they share a name. No. Each friend, has naught the others', unique fortune, skills, or fame. But I endear each to their own, and treasure them all - the same.

On April 10th, 1846 on the ship Devonshire from Liverpool, one Catherine McCarty, age 17 arrived in New York during times most cruel. She made this long journey to escape the famine occurring in her native Ireland. We don't know if she arrived alone or with family or whether she was married or accompanied with a boyfriend. The passenger arrival manifest has her listed a servant as the occupation she did. Based only on her age and her name, many historians have speculated and proclaimed that she's the mother of BILLY the Kid. Billy's mother died on September 16th in the year of 1874. She was 45 years old according to her obituary. Combine the above information and we know one thing for sure. Immigrant Catherine shared the same age and name as did the true mother of Billy. It seems that due to health reasons, Catherine McCarty's life had gone onto searching for dryer climate out west as a single mother of two. One of her sons would live a full life and then fade into obscurity. Her other son would die very young and become one of the greatest legends to ever be. No one knows anything about the boys' father or whether they shared the same one. Did he/they die or abandon the family? Your guess is as good as anyone's. Catherine was a strong, independent, gregarious lass whom everyone seemed to like and enjoy very dearly. She earned a living selling baked goods to customers she had amassed and by also doing much of the neighborhood's ***** laundry. She also dabbled in real estate, purchasing what little property she could afford, and to earn extra income she'd often open the door to her home and welcome all those willing to pay room and board. It was clearly shown that she could take on the responsibility alone, as far as providing and caring for her boys. When she wasn't earning employment, she'd occasionally indulge in the enjoyment that every good, loving mother enjoys. After schooling her children, she'd take them to local dances where she was known to be one of the grandest dancers on the dance floor, but of all the dance partners she'd dance with there was always one she could never resist and he'd want to dance with her more and more. "Of all my dance partners," she told him one night, "you are my favorite one." To see her lovingly gaze into his eyes, it certainly would come as no surprise to learn that William Henry was Catherine McCarty's favored son. To Be Continued

Explosions in the sky That certain rush of words covered with ideas I am not so afraid of That simple touch of a pen poets picture as their current heaven And heaven lies within the lies where real people exist and in-concrete dust flies And flies surround the inner spaces between my heart and yours Those inter dimensional cracks that keep us alive together Yet those same cracks cause the Explosions in the sky When a million thoughts tremble under shattered glass And glass becomes rain over a nation That had no occupation A station Where all the emotions find a leak Where all the leaks lead to leisure The flood of blood narrated to form a spring out of Arab's fall And freedom is attained with the sound of Explosions in the sky When betrayal becomes the living scenario of a very normal human being Who believed that his sanctuary is in unison with his sanctions Strategies structured his not so subtle approach And after that he fell into her Explosions in the sky When a man loses his vision upon a mild smile When a cry for help becomes an invite for suicide Come…help me be the Portrait of clay you'll form with your delicate hands Shape my image And imagine a shape for my form Form a set for me to follow Follow my moves for if I fall of your track Track me back to the first point The playstation of life saves checkpoints Yet my life is full of glitches… For when I look at you I am supposed to be looking at you But all I'm seeing is Explosions in the sky When a trouble-free man becomes the complex notion of a firework Those little pieces of fiery smoke Grabs it And smokes the last buds of life out of his people The governor governing the covers he created To alienate the truth I found in your eyes And I shall never be mislead Instead I shall be steadfast and ready For you I shall be ready for you And your Explosions in the sky When a poet has no words left to write In the right time Literally the speaker is speechless He's too busy wondering in total observation The explosions… The explosions we create The skies that unveil And that little feeling of satisfaction With the last bits of an ink written Poem.

I’m going to make this a laugh because that’s what it is. You’re smart, cute, and charming, everything for that I wish. But there is one thing in the way, a girlfriend, “together since high school” or so you say. Me and her, that girl you’re with, we have the same occupation, but she, for you, changed location. Think about the hobbit-like children we could have, curly brown hair is not so bad. With your “girlfriend” the kid would be a ginger but with your button nose that might be cute, go figure. Don’t you think we’d make a cute couple? I know I do! You’re tall, I’m short. It’s a match of sorts. Our children could be normal sized, taller than me, but shorter than you. It’s a plan I’ve thought through. The exchange in the hallway after lunch was a little bit awkward, but I liked it a bunch! Maybe tomorrow we can sit together and, again, talk about the weather. Your accent is adorable, the way you say “about” and various other words that sound funny when they come out. It’s a school girl crush and I feel so silly because I’m all grown up. C’mon, Cassie, really?

Aural sounds of delectation funk-fuel in fervent distillation undertones of jazz-swing in migration electronic clicks and blips for relaxation ambience is my one true occupation. The resonance of sound in rotation the initiation itself a radiation morphological alternation in isolation as the hubbub of voices echo respiration breath in, breath out, in elevation. No underlying obligation, only inspiration and celebration of collaboration revel in the pleasures of sensation like the first discovery of amplification and in its appreciation and stimulation embrace variation in all its illumination. Seek out new music from recommendation the gravitation towards transformation the re-education and regeneration this musical manifestation of civilisation saturated in complex contemplation adoration in meditation the simplest form of gratification the creative urge for diversification and technological intensity of electronic experimentation.

Music is My Painkiller
Today is my Dad's 60th birthday. Today I also lost my job due to discrimination. I haven't been fired from a job since I was 18. Now I'm 25 knowing this is merely a trial. People are watching me wondering how I've taken the fall. I'm not here for sympathy or applause. I'm here to share with you, how you too can can rise against it all. Like my Mother, I am a ferocious lion choosing to stand tall. My identity isn't in my occupation, possessions or knowledge. My identity is in Christ no matter the odds. By serving a God who is greater than the world, there is no storm you can't weather.

I Am A Lion
So, what do you think about the dynasty of Babylon? Freshly cut potatoes which are deep fried can be displayed upon colorful plastic plates, which may trigger a spiritual sustenance of simplistic expectations which are immersed in Glaswegian nostalgia. Therefore, I contemplate the goddess of the moon, as she is enthroned in Celtic tenements of astral plains. Entrance-ways are characterised by the musky scent of the tomcat, whilst the purring sounds of diesel locomotives echo along the tracks of mischievous linearity. So, although I acknowledge Osiris to be the Egyptian god of the dead, I am tentatively perplexed about Northern and Southern boundaries of grandparental occupation. Shake those sensual vessels of salt and vinegar. Do you know why? Because there’s nothing like it in the cosmos.

Mungojerrie and Rumpelteazer were a very notorious couple of cats. As knockabout clown, quick-change comedians, tight-rope walkers and acrobats They had extensive reputation. They made their home in Victoria Grove— That was merely their centre of operation, for they were incurably given to rove. They were very well know in Cornwall Gardens, in Launceston Place and in Kensington Square— They had really a little more reputation than a couple of cats can very well bear. If the area window was found ajar And the basement looked like a field of war, If a tile or two came loose on the roof, Which presently ceased to be waterproof, If the drawers were pulled out from the bedroom chests, And you couldn’t find one of your winter vests, Or after supper one of the girls Suddenly missed her Woolworth pearls: Then the family would say: “It’s that horrible cat! It was Mungojerrie—or Rumpelteazer!”— And most of the time they left it at that. Mungojerrie and Rumpelteazer had a very unusual gift of the gab. They were highly efficient cat-burglars as well, and remarkably smart at smash-and-grab. They made their home in Victoria Grove. They had no regular occupation. They were plausible fellows, and liked to engage a friendly policeman in conversation. When the family assembled for Sunday dinner, With their minds made up that they wouldn’t get thinner On Argentine joint, potatoes and greens, And the cook would appear from behind the scenes And say in a voice that was broken with sorrow: “I’m afraid you must wait and have dinner tomorrow! For the joint has gone from the oven-like that!” Then the family would say: “It’s that horrible cat! It was Mungojerrie—or Rumpelteazer!”— And most of the time they left it at that. Mungojerrie and Rumpelteazer had a wonderful way of working together. And some of the time you would say it was luck, and some of the time you would say it was weather. They would go through the house like a hurricane, and no sober person could take his oath Was it Mungojerrie—or Rumpelteazer? or could you have sworn that it mightn’t be both? And when you heard a dining-room smash Or up from the pantry there came a loud crash Or down from the library came a loud ping From a vase which was commonly said to be Ming— Then the family would say: “Now which was which cat? It was Mungojerrie! AND Rumpelteazer!”— And there’s nothing at all to be done about that!

Feelings are broken, they mend, and they they're broken again. It ***** so you've gotta be a man and **** it up, well with a ****** if you've got one. Breaking. It hurts. Hurricanes from hell destroying every inch of your body starting from the heart, the "center" of all the emotional ******** we call feelings. That breaking is as if your 3Ds died after you beat Pokemon x. That **** didn't save and is worth a few tears on that $55 topshop sweater all hormonal girls love. That breaking is as if you stubbed your toe and you just got your nails done, it's as if u got a B+ not an A. Well you get my point. But that mending though, that uplifting sensation you feel after you've hit rock bottom. Emotional mending is like taking your bra off after a long day at school, or work, or whatever your occupation. Now that's a simile. Feelings are emotions, Emotions are feelings. It's all the same. it always gets better, then worse again.

A Synonym For Emotion
Little pieces of paper To threaten the existence of Little girls Why know English? To comprehend a language That many of us already speak ? Why learn Math? In ten years' time, I don't see myself doing set theory or applying circle properties to my occupation Its' called common sense And this common sense will lead me to believe and to perceive whatever I have to do In ten years' time At this juncture, I must ask Is common sense being taught? Why learn Science? Yes understanding the world before us Humanities? Science and Humanities Common foes Threatens each others' existence One looks at human conditions The other make theories to "disprove" that human condition Love is blind, says one. Love is Everything, "This bud of love, by summer's ripening breath, May prove a beauteous flower when next we meet" The great poet has uttered. Pieces of paper With marks scrawled in red Threatens my very existence Live your life to the fullest. Becomes a misleading statement. And then again, exams seem like a milestone And many of us frogs Which leap from one to another Drown in the middle Hop up to another A never-ending series of jumps All the way till I'm 22. Little pieces of paper To threaten the existence of Little girls

She came from a broken family Which had nothing to eat As an early age she discovered She could offer her body for bread Shame dominated her existence As day after day she prostituted herself Being good in her profession She earned a reputation One day she saw a Stranger And she could not help but wonder The Man had a way with people And spoke words like salve to the soul Several days had past Yet He was all she could think about She knew the Man had awakened something Could it be Love? When she heard that the Teacher was invited to a Pharisee’s house She decided she would go just to see the Teacher In her clothing she tucked an alabaster box Then went quickly to the Pharisee’s house There she witnessed how the Pharisee showed no respect The Teacher received nothing upon entering the house Neither handshake nor kiss, nor basin of water to clean the feet Not even an oil to refresh His head His humiliation so reminiscent of her own The ********** could not help but throw herself to Him There she began to kiss His feet Washed it with her tears and wiped it with her hair Soon the woman reached into her garment From it revealed the alabaster box From this box she pulled a flask of expensive perfume And poured the fragrant oil on the feet of Jesus Her perfume, her primary form of advertisement and shame, was now gone Compelled by the Love she had never known until the present moment She gave up the primary means of her occupation The aroma once meant to allure now become an aroma of worship

Oh, how you have begot routine An occupation entered most unexpectedly Consuming a once vivid and polymathic soul Seeped into your bones Left you forgot, a flickering and dying star Yes, you're here every day, but you're heart feels vacant; gone away, or really still at home, wherever that is Your body's traveling the world, but your mind's spinning in circles, too fast to see past the fugue Will you reminisce of these days to your future children? Or will you skip this period, for this is not really you to begin with? Hope your intermission will come to an end May you someday return, spirited and renewed
