"resulted" poems
In my heart, you are an asset But in my mind, a liability You are an entry I can't forget That's slowly shaking my equity. Loving you is an understatement For a beauty's carrying value And so I made an adjustment Of the love that I must issue. But your heart had a preference For someone who's not me Who can give you more dividends Than a hopeful ordinary. All my hope was expensed For such unrecoverable loss And the business I've commenced Resulted in an opportunity cost. And so you went depreciating Ending this going concern There's this pain accumulating From a romance unearned. Now I'm left here to close All the journals I've made Correct the errors I chose For a love that I would trade.

i’ve never had feelings for anyone who could be good for me. i’ve never been interested in someone where a good, healthy relationship could’ve resulted, and maybe that’s why i’m so jaded, because everyone i’ve ever liked has just been a distraction or a house on fire— someone i know i shouldn’t be involved with, but i’ll give myself just a few more days to run around frantically with my hands over my eyes, peaking through the cracks between my fingers, searching for things i know i don’t really need, and then i’ll dash out and run down the driveway and the smog will linger for a little while, and the neighbors will complain, and i’ll sit on the curb with my forehead on my knees, holding nothing but intangible regret. next, i’ll either get over it, or obsessively think about him and the ashes smudged on the inside of my eyelids for longer than my sanity. i’ve never really liked someone and been able to daydream about the real possibility of us turning into something greater; of tire swings and painted mailboxes and overgrown, green lawns. it’s always been pretending and fake hope and melodramatic doom. i think it’s messed up my perception of having feelings for someone, because i can never take it seriously— either i know he’s not right for me, or i know the circumstances prohibit the possibility of us. it makes me never want to give anyone a chance (i can’t even see anyone worth chance-giving) because i know how it ends. i don’t like having this closed off heart so early on; i’m too young to be this bitter.

such a sinking feeling
i’ve never had feelings for anyone who could be good for me. i’ve never been interested in someone where a good, healthy relationship could’ve resulted, and maybe that’s why i’m so jaded, because everyone i’ve ever liked has just been a distraction or a house on fire— someone i know i shouldn’t be involved with, but i’ll give myself just a few more days to run around frantically with my hands over my eyes, peaking through the cracks between my fingers, searching for things i know i don’t really need, and then i’ll dash out and run down the driveway and the smog will linger for a little while, and the neighbors will complain, and i’ll sit on the curb with my forehead on my knees, holding nothing but intangible regret. next, i’ll either get over it, or obsessively think about him and the ashes smudged on the inside of my eyelids for longer than my sanity. i’ve never really liked someone and been able to daydream about the real possibility of us turning into something greater; of tire swings and painted mailboxes and overgrown, green lawns. it’s always been pretending and fake hope and melodramatic doom. i think it’s messed up my perception of having feelings for someone, because i can never take it seriously— either i know he’s not right for me, or i know the circumstances prohibit the possibility of us. it makes me never want to give anyone a chance (i can’t even see anyone worth chance-giving) because i know how it ends. i don’t like having this closed off heart so early on; i’m too young to be this bitter.

Scientifically, we are made up of a combination of atoms that somehow resulted in spinning minds and thirsty hearts, soft skin and aching bones. I heard somewhere that if the atoms of an object could spread far enough apart, we could pass through anything. If we are merely atoms, I suppose I spread mine so far that you passed through me. You came through me, you hit my bloodstream and God was it a rush. My atoms reacted with yours and it felt like they started to merge into one. I felt you become a part of my spinning mind, my thirsty heart, my soft skin and my aching bones. I spread myself so far so that you could really see who I was and before I knew it you had passed through me. My atoms are tinged with specks of yours and I can't get you out of what makes up who I am. This is why I miss you with all that I have.

I truly believe that one of the reasons that the US is despised and condemned world wide is because of such views on such characteristics as: honesty, integrity, independence(this includes not thinking in a collective mindset which we do as a culture, everything is apple or windows, pepsi or cola, republican or democrat, people need to think for themselves stop claiming and just be), persistence, determination, morale, empathy, tradition/heritage, learning, chivalry, discernment, and humility. Instead of utilizing and perfecting these people of this nation and similar one's have become: prideful, dependent, drive-less, imprudent/unwise, insulting, ignorant(willfully so), objective, biased, crude, mediocre, and surface oriented. In turn we have neglected the responsibilities we have of ourselves. This has resulted in physical, mental, and spiritual capacity regression on a mass scale. Most people have no idea what they are consuming in their daily dietary intake(I mean really know what all the ingredients are and what they do whether positive or negative). Most citizens have also become, literally and according to the United Nations Education Scientific and Cultural Organization, mentally incapable and completely inane as compared to even 15yrs ago. We have forgotten how to have a community to the point that neighbors don't know each other anymore. We have exchanged the truly important things in life like knowledge and wisdom for wealth and appearance. We have completely forgotten how to survive without the aid of water treatment, electricity, and useless objects. One of the worst of all things we have stopped doing, is being involved with our government; instead, we have put our trust in them without oversight, and this is why we have been losing our liberties. I believe, just like Benjamin Franklin stated, that any individual who sacrifices even one liberty for safety/security... deserves to have all of their liberties eradicated. In conclusion, it is time to return our societies to ourselves. We need to relearn the truly important things in life and start living with ourselves, each other, and nature as we must to thrive. It is on us as a people to repair what generations before us, and our generations are doing; lest, I am afraid, our children and grandchildren will inherit the same ideals and expand upon them until we regress to the point that insolence, ignorance, and imprudence is the common norm... we have already begun to accept these. Open your eyes to the truth, at first it will be painful and difficult, but than you will be set free. WE THE PEOPLE ARE RESPONSIBLE FOR OUR FUTURES AND CHILDREN'S FUTURES.

The Story by Kamal Nasser translation by Michael R. Burch I will tell you a story ... a story that lived in the dreams of my people, a story that comes from the world of tents. It is a story inspired by hunger and embellished by dark nights of terror. It is the story of my country, a handful of refugees. Every twenty of them have a pound of flour between them and a few promises of relief ... gifts and parcels. It is the story of the suffering ones who stood waiting in line ten years, in hunger, in tears and agony, in hardship and yearning. It is a story of a people who were misled, who were thrown into the mazes of the years. And yet they stood defiant, disrobed yet united as they trudged from the light to their tents: the revolution of return into the world of darkness. Kamal Nasser was a much-admired Palestinian poet and Palestinian Christian, who due to his renowned integrity was known as "The Conscience." He was a member of Jordan's parliament in 1956. He was murdered in 1973 by an Israeli death squad whose most notorious member was future Israeli Prime Minister Ehud Barak. Barak (born Ehud Brog) later ruled as Israel’s tenth Prime Minister from 1999 to 2001. His adopted Hebrew name Barak means "lightning." As a younger man, Brog/Barak was a member of a secret assassination unit that liquidated Palestinians in Lebanon and the occupied territories. In the 1973 covert mission Operation Spring of Youth in Beirut, which was part of the larger Operation Wrath of God, he disguised himself as a woman in order to assassinate Palestinians. The raid resulted in the deaths of two women, one of them an elderly Italian. Two Lebanese policemen were also killed, along with the poet Kamal Nasser. Nasser was the PLO's most prominent Christian and he enjoyed "great appeal" in Lebanon, Syria, and Iraq "both as a distinguished poet and likeable personality." He was the “conscience of the Palestinian revolution,” according to Nazih Abul-Nidal, who worked with him on the magazine Filastin al-Thawra. Nasser “had the most democratic outlook of all Palestinian leaders at the time,” he recalls. He respected opposing views, admired the commitment of young people, and was a major recruitment asset for the Palestinian revolution. “That is why he was put high on the hit-list.” The previous year, the Israelis had murdered another renowned Palestinian writer and activist in Beirut, Ghassan Kanafani, by booby-trapping his car. Nasser’s successor, Majed Abu Sharar, was also assassinated by Israelis, in Rome in 1981 while attending a conference in solidarity with the Palestinian people.

Bodies moved and liquor spilled Hands got up and all felt good Music created a flow and rhythm became nourishment Five senses became three Lovers were formed and lovers were lost Tears fell and mixed with the liquor Injuries occurred Enemies were made... Bodies still moved and liquor spilled Hearts were broken and hearts were delighted Curves appealed to the eyes and grasps occurred Smiles became kisses and Kisses became conductors of emotions and desires *** resulted and smiles occurred... Bodies moved and liquor spilled They all went home and memories were erased                                                                    -Conscious

An Analogy
(I Could Not Knot a Knot.) My tale is one of tortuous frustration, when two ropes caused me aggravation, and my every effort resulted in a situation that left me in a state of angry indignation! Oh, what a knotty problem I had got, when I found I could not knot a needed knot! Though needing help on how to knot a knot, no one I knew, knew how to knot my needed knot! I had two short ropes - which I’d a need to knot, and which I’d knot together with a special knot, but it never worked, for the knot did not knot, and my knot came undone! I felt such a clot! Firstly, I took the ropes, which I twisted tight together, but still the end result, was not right, for when I tugged, the knot, not only fell apart, but showed no sign of a knot! Making a fresh start, I took one rope, and placed it firmly under the other. This was so easy, I did wonder if my actions should have been reversed, for it too fell apart! Oh, how I cursed! Seems tying knots is not for faint hearts, for any knot, that’s not knotted, soon parts when it’s put to the test! That I’m not a knot expert, you can tell. Truly, my forte is not that of being very good at tying knots, for I do not understand what knots need, to keep them from falling apart! Tying a knot right, right from the start, is important, and that’s why my knot was not reliable, but why I did not understand. Yes, I’ve tied many knots. but they’re knots known as Granny Knots. Other knots are what folks call a Slip Knot. Then there’s the Turk’s Head - a special knot, as is the Cat’s Paw, Clove Hitch,and Bowline. Truth to tell, - none of these resembles mine! Then there’s a Timber Hitch, which is a knot that truly puzzles me, and not an easy knot to knot! There’s many other knots, that need the greatest skill, such as the Hangman’s Knot - a knot that’s made to **** Whilst the sheepshank? That’s a tricky one to see! So many knots, but they’re not knots for me. Methinks of all the knots, the one true knot for me, is the “Lover’s Knot”, which I have tied successfully! Rhymer. April 24th, 2018

To a Louse by Robert Burns translation/interpretation by Michael R. Burch Hey! Where're you going, you crawling hair-fly? Your impudence protects you, barely; I can only say that you swagger rarely Over gauze and lace. Though faith! I fear you dine but sparely In such a place. You ugly, creeping, blasted wonder, Detested, shunned by both saint and sinner, How dare you set your feet upon her— So fine a lady! Go somewhere else to seek your dinner On some poor body. Off! around some beggar's temple shamble: There you may creep, and sprawl, and scramble, With other kindred, jumping cattle, In shoals and nations; Where horn nor bone never dare unsettle Your thick plantations. Now hold you there! You're out of sight, Below the folderols, snug and tight; No, faith just yet! You'll not be right, Till you've got on it: The very topmost, towering height Of miss's bonnet. My word! right bold you root, contrary, As plump and gray as any gooseberry. Oh, for some rank, mercurial resin, Or dread red poison; I'd give you such a hearty dose, flea, It'd dress your noggin! I wouldn't be surprised to spy You on some housewife's flannel tie: Or maybe on some ragged boy's Pale undervest; But Miss's finest bonnet! Fie! How dare you jest? Oh Jenny, do not toss your head, And lash your lovely braids abroad! You hardly know what cursed speed The creature's making! Those winks and finger-ends, I dread, Are notice-taking! O would some Power with vision teach us To see ourselves as others see us! It would from many a blunder free us, And foolish notions: What airs in dress and carriage would leave us, And even devotion! One Sunday while sitting behind a young lady in church, Robert Burns noticed a louse roaming through the bows and ribbons of her bonnet. The poem "To a Louse" resulted from his observations. The poor woman had no idea that she would be the subject of one of Burns' best poems about how we see ourselves, compared to how other people see us at our worst moments.

My nails are a mess, but not a mess like a 2 week perfect manicure 'mess', a mess like chipped old blue nail varnish where I have picked away at it. A mess like peeling skin when anxiety from deep within has resulted in me absentmindedly scratching until I am awoken by crimson blood, pooling on pale flesh. I grab a cloth and sigh, as I realise I will now have to hide my hands from onlookers, who will probably tut disprovingly because I'm a girl you see, and it's my duty to present myself beautifully. To be perfect on the outside, but how can that be? You see my hands bear the scars that are inside of me. You can't just paint over scars and expect to be free.

A NEON SHIRT AND PINK SHOELACES
The Annual POCU Fashion Show held by the campus organization “People of Color United,” was held in the Student Activities Center on Saturday, April 18. The fashion show is the final activity of the year held by POCU. Junior Martell Prayear and senior Miranda Jackson were the show’s hosts and announcers. The fashion show is a competition where various designers, or teams of designers, are required to create outfits that adhere to a general theme, but also incorporate the designer’s unique, personal concepts. This year, the general theme for the fashion show was: Thrift Shop. Each designer, or group of designers, was required to utilize clothes purchased from the local Goodwill and maintain a $50 budget. Preparations for the event, Jackson said, were very short. “I was really surprised how well it turned out, because we started practicing for the show at four o’clock that day,” Jackson said. “They typically start practicing way a head of time.” Despite the delayed preparation, the fashion show was an overall success. The first designer to present at the fashion show was Victoria Webster. Webster’s fashion line was inspired by professional work attire. “I think it can be hard transitioning college wear into professional wear, on a budget,” Webster said of her outfits. Webster was able to find three models to wear the clothes, which she said was a combination of the model’s personal items, as well as those purchased through Goodwill. The second fashion line presented at the fashion show was designed by Iyana Lynch. For her personal theme, Lynch designed outfits that were inspired by the different seasons. The third designer to present that evening was Alyssa Nieset. Inspired by 90’s menswear, Nieset designed a line of androgynous outfits. The final clothing line presented was a team effort from: Jeanita Blue and Angel Powell. Their theme was considered “90’s Reloaded,” and featured various throwbacks to 1990’s pop culture such as TLC and The Spice Girls. Blue said that most of the outfits in their fashion line were inspired by “eco-friendly fashion,” and were intended to decrease hesitation toward shopping at thrift stores. While the judges finalized the scores for each designer or team, the Urban Dance Association entertained the crowd with a quick performance. The judge’s scores resulted in a tie between Jeanita Blue & Angel Powell, and Iyana Lynch. Despite the general tie, Blue and Powell were awarded first place, while Lynch was granted second place. There was an off-campus reception held in Cleveland after the event. Read more here:www.marieaustralia.com/purple-formal-dresses | www.marieaustralia.com/green-formal-dresses

Things are quite rocky in today's world wouldn't you say? Hate is growing stronger, as a consequence love is waxing cold day by day. Celebrities are securing riches while the rest of the world succumbs into sickness. Everyday Americans are going into foreclosure, others can't obtain jobs to pay their monthly dues. There's even a battle on the news based on who has the right to use a particular bathroom. Simultaneously there's millions of homeless people starving and sleeping on the streets. Meanwhile it's breaking news that Beyonce is having twins! Still, we never hear CNN mention the pedophiles that were arrested in California. Which resulted in 450+ arrests and counting, the veil has been lifted if you have open eyes to look. There, there you can go back to sleep now... Continue dreaming about Beyonce's twins.

The Matrix
Soft is the tone of your mellow heartbeat, electric is the feeling when our lips meet. manipulating are your illuminating eyes stripping me of all my control and will power. Seductive you are, this time, this hour. The silent ballet of your moans play through my ears like a first string quartet, I can't fight it,.. the thoughts in my head,.. this is what resulted me in your bed. You have toyed with me for the last time. I'm letting it all out, I'm trying to unwind. Both bodies adrenaline beating in unison, both bodies still in motion with the wants, the need of a **** To feel close again,.. But after.. I'm A                               L                                     O                                               N                                                                       E... AGAIN The lust you portray is no greater than your desire, The power I feel of your red lustful fire. I know I feel you, I can feel your warmth. I know your here, so please don't torment. My small, innocent, heart. You lay your body across mine, both of us vulnerable, skin to skin. this is it.. ****** me. Your hands, I can feel them, Your chest also heaving against mine, back and forth we commit the lustful and desirable sin. I've had my fulfillment, my satisfaction. I've been seduced by your bewildering attraction. Now it's my turn to make you feel alive.

We mourn in silence as sun shines everyday trying to bring rays of hope and smile to millions desperate In darkness of the night Moon gives hope through the reflected light of the golden sun portraying the same intention and stars chuckle by like millions of orphaned children wandering our dark world Technology which brought in abundance has left us in want machines brought in to give leisure has left us with no time at all Virtual net which brought people miles apart together has resulted virtual bubbles of gloating egos we are together yet alone and isolated in this world of paradox serpents of guilt keep dancing around yet the cloak of fear blinds us we ignore and without even us realizing all that we do along with all other beings residing on this beautiful earth we just mourn blasting our lungs out in silence

Fighting Camels
The cocoons cracked open And these beautiful creatures That resulted from metamorphosis Fluttered around their new home In the wife's stomach "I am going to pick him up" She kissed her daughter Whom also had insects Fluttering inside her 9 year old stomach lining 720 seconds were spent in the station-wagon Dodging the  potholes the city refused to repair 720 seconds were spent Taking her to see him. His flight landed 360 seconds after she arrived And they embraced one another for 180 seconds Before she guided her camouflaged warrior Back to the station-wagon Sweaty palms gripped the steering wheel Salt water streaks on her burning Scarlett cheeks Bleached teeth being advertised To her camouflaged warrior Thhhunkthhuhnkthhunkk Pothole. As the wife turned to the rear window Fearing she hurt one of God's creatures Frightened she had innocent blood on her hands Inadvertently disobeyed the shining red beacon ahead of her Screeching metal violating airwaves Burning tires sliding against asphalt Glass fractals orbiting through the sky Flatline. Beneath the Mylar balloons Waiting patiently under the "Welcome Home" banner Sat a daughter with fluttering butterflies Unaware the balloons would lose their helium And the insects inside her would decompose Long before she would be reunited with her parents again.

Welcome Home, Soldier
No, no, I haven’t been doing this myself, but I live in Cambodia, and 2 guys and a girl were deported recently for riding around on a motorbike in the **** in broad daylight. Actually, you see, naively or deliberately, they rode right past a police station. Now that must have been a sight for sore eyes. So the police set out in hot pursuit, rubbing their sore eyes, or whatever they rub, maybe their truncheons, eh? And when the perps were pulled over, the cops didn’t fall about with hilarity when these riders said quite calmly that they were going to pick up their laundry. Truly! They were backpackers! As if that explained it. But publicly, the cops said nope, these perps are obscene to be seen like this and they violate Khmer customs and culture. The cops even took pictures of this outrageous obscenity. Indeed. The riders' rapture of being bare assed and naked and **** free is not for Cambodia. Certainly not at this juncture. So their capture resulted in them being deported, never to show hide nor hair in the country again. Just goes to show... But you can get away with ****** here, particularly shooting union leaders or critics or protestors, or you can throw a grenade into the opposition, and **** a few right there. Those killers go free. It's probably dangerous to speak openly, but I don't think these guys read poetry. They're probably busy oiling their artillery, and even rocket launchers, as the PM threatened to use against the opposition recently. Seriously. They're on the lookout for dissenters here. Oh yes. And bare ***** Obviously. So watch you **** in Cambodia, especially if it's bare on a bike. And ssshhh! Watch out for your mouth. You need to cover your mouth up properly, too. Mike T Minehan

Realizing that my pain that resulted from past failures was only temporary because forgetting that past knowing that foregiveness does not change what happened I am finally able to move on as the other half of my heart comes home. It does let me take the first step torward growth and creation as each time that one loves is the only time and a difference of object does not alter singleness of passion but merely intensifies it. I knew that her love was the other half of my heart on the day that she came to me and said that she loved me and I could feel that love when she talked to me hearing it in her voice like a tone that only I could hear. Knowing that I have loved her in numerous forms, numerous times, life after life, age after age forever our final journey now begins as I dip my feather into the inkwell of the sunset and write about her sending my love to the treasure of her heart of which my heart is now a part. I can not take for granted our future knowing that we have the love of each other and more importantly we have ourselves as we touch and our hearts became whole once more and our love continues to grow and we both know that our love for each other exceeds the need for each other.                     Jon    York           2013

NYC ranks first in global competitiveness: report
Sickened he was by her bad word choices, special need for incongruous expressions,words spelled the way she likes, blanks that can never be filled, invented quotes, fabricated realities, thunderous **** repeated in intervals, as if  each an inlaid jewel, and then, having no fixed meaning for that favorite word of hers, nothing more than an intention to denigrate ******                                                                                    and women as a whole, a subconscious compulsion, strangely included, her's also in it's ambit. He understands her compulsion for such expression thus-- fulfillment of some innate need, an expression of her own worthlessness, resulted from some grave injury of the mind that happened, sometime early in her childhood, one could guess. He took the decision to mark her "UNREAD" for ever with deep anguish of course,after reading her many fine and sane pieces.

We all want someone to hold whilst the music plays but this is a delayed reaction to teenage hormones, you're clutching to not-a-lot-of-nothings, smart jeans and smart cologne, a stolen ring from your step-father's collection tidied away, deep, in a box under bed sheets in that drawer. Your mum says the right one will come 'round soon enough, but so far the results of dressing differently have resulted in women speaking like spray from under a van: rainwater white noise and not a lot else; though you're still searching, if not for you, for your mother instead, elderly and re-married: some else's burden, another husband to carry. Carry out of the bottom of drunken wine glasses and into clear meadows on weekly walks where discussions take place, peace treaty talks about holidays in the Mediterranean, upon balcony ledges they'll embrace, learn about fading stars, the history behind buildings visit local bars to drink sober cocktails conjured up in off-the-web smoothie makers bought with the ambition to make a living and help the community out. If not now then when, your **** shouts hiding beneath moneyed material cut in sweat shops, washed in sweat heaps, delivered by the sweaty mail man of the Bronx, will women love me you'll say, will women want a house with me, stay the night under reclaimed, bought from thrift shop, lights and kiss until mornings turn into weeks, those weeks into new jobs and before you know it, retirement plots in allotments off Broadway?
