"useful" poems
The world's gone mad but my mind is made up. Time to let ya'll into the darkroom of my mind, A place where I'm the referee of a poetic world cup. This is where I am creative even though I'm blind Don't get me wrong I am not leaving from town. No more radio or TV saturated with all the sad news, I have got enough breaking news of my very own... Breaking to me each and every moment as it brews. Come and meet the hard drive of my creative doom, That contains my beautiful and liberated mind. Welcome to my one bright side I call my darkroom, It's a place that's so special, I reckon it's one of a kind. You have to know that I always act blind but I see. In my mind, I can walk stack naked and levitate. My mind is where I remain totally black and free. Come join me set my poetic dial and help me activate, The code that will outshine any power on this earth. My mind is where I live and where nobody has access, Here I can run a poetic marathon without taking a breath, Call it my playground and intellectual fortress. My mind is deep, a place of absolute calm and refuge, Somewhere I will always see as the final frontier. It is dangerous and toxic like a nuclear centrifuge. In there, I am all alert and vigilant like a soldier. My mind is a darkroom where I give birth to new ideas. It is a vessel and place in which I do magic with letters. It is my holy land of thoughts, my own creative Judea, Where each idea is sacred and light as bird feathers. Welcome to the epicenter of my creative mind. This is where I turn letters into spoken words A front line of creativity where no one leaves behind. Come and see where all words become useful swords. My mind produces powerful words like some light beams... Courageous and powerful words for extra motivation. Spoken Words that will light up people's faded dreams. Now you know that up in my mind are no limitation, There exists an enormous capacity of time and space. Welcome one, welcome all to the darkroom of my mind Take a seat and be calm, be quiet this is my place For this here is my personal creative post of command. www.poemhunter.com/IvanBrookssr #Vanguard-poetry23 #IvanBrookspoetry twitter @ivanclappers @Bassapoet

a man is not a man if he believes he has to be superior over a woman to achieve her love, a man is a man if he believes in letting a woman decide for herself who she wants to be, a man is not a man if he believes control will make a woman stay, a man is a man if he believes letting a woman choose what she wants to do will make her stay, a man is not a man if he does not believe in giving a woman a choice in her free time, will make her feel safe, a man is man if he believes that letting a woman do whatever the hell she wants in her free time to make her happy will make her love him more and feel safe, a man is not a man if he believes that forbidding a woman to meet with other males, even just friends will make her stay, a man is a man if he trusts a woman, regardless of how long the relationship, that she will not cheat by giving her the choice of who she wants to meet, will make her stay,   a man is not a man if he constantly refers to a woman as only useful in reproduction, a man is a man if he believes that a woman was created for other things too, a man is not a man if he believes that a woman should be devoted to the kitchen and household, a man is a man if he believes that letting a woman choose how she wants to keep herself busy will make her feel valued,   a man is not a man if he believes a woman is only useful for his needs, wants, and desires, a man is a man if he believes that being with a woman is not only about objectification, sexualization, reproductive control and male privilege.

The shades of gray are nearly infinite- mirroring attitudes regarding our sin. Degrees of separation give distinction to human perception of ugliness within. Living now in this ‘Age of Information’ has not made life much more palatable; visible is God’s Truth and Satan’s lies, as individuals determine what’s palpable. Gobs of available data doesn’t translate into experience and useful wisdom directly. Real sapience, is shown by the Holy Spirit, when the ideas of faith are under scrutiny. Biblical principles enable all to overcome corrosive powers of intellectual pollution; however, personal change, only occurs when… one has the mindset for a Heavenly solution! . . .

Poem: Intellectual Pollution
I think it's crazy that they want me to type an essay over deforestation for a score or practice or to better my writing. That's 60 more minutes I'm wasting of my life. They say that sooner or later everything we do we will do with technology. So here I am now writing this essay that's supposed to be about deforestation and the effects and consequences. We are not discussing the issue. We are sitting in wooden chairs with our computers sitting on our wooden desks surrounded by wooden bookcases. So much irony right? I seem to be the only one to notice anyways. We come here seven hours a day, do hours of homework, "study" the information, aka memorize regurgitate then forget all of it. This is not teaching us. We are not learning anything useful to help us live. It's all numbers and words that do not matter to me. If anyone thinks that all us kids come to school to learn they're wrong and if they think that the teachers come to teach they're even more wrong. We come to pass class after class so we can leave and actually make something of ourselves. The teachers come because they have to for the money. They do not care about us or our feelings. They put all this pressure on us to be the best we can be which really means make a good grade. I've been silent for so long now. Not expressing my feelings towards much of anything. Also toward the reason I have to wake up at five every morning to be around people I do not even like. I feel as though the education system is unfair and cruel and does not take into consideration what the kids who go through this cycle everyday think. So that's what I think about deforestation.

My hands have betrayed me. Once the means to write pages, Now my hands are only dead weight. My hands won't pick up a pen. Or even type short, Choppy sentences. They dangle at my sides And find refuge in my hair, Leaving me bleeding. Like my hands, My mouth has declared itself My enemy. Once the passageway for words To explain myself, My mouth is now as useful as a broken bridge. With nothing of value to say, It talks And sings anyway. It opens without my permission But stays closed whenever I try To scream meaning. The inability to illustrate Or translate my mind And my soul Is not an unfamiliar ordeal. But it's lonely on the outside And frustrating looking in. It seems I'll always feel like an alien.

Masters are cruel Mine is kind Masters use us as tools I'm useful, he'll find Masters are violent Mine is just playing a game Masters are tyrants Mine is Self tame. Masters are greedy, Mine rewards Masters are ugly Mine is something to look towards Masters have slaves Mine has a servant who loves these days.

But I would rather be horizontal. I am not a tree with my root in the soil ******* up minerals and motherly love So that each March I may gleam into leaf, Nor am I the beauty of a garden bed Attracting my share of Ahs and spectacularly painted, Unknowing I must soon unpetal. Compared with me, a tree is immortal And a flower-head not tall, but more startling, And I want the one's longevity and the other's daring. Tonight, in the infinitesimal light of the stars, The trees and flowers have been strewing their cool odors. I walk among them, but none of them are noticing. Sometimes I think that when I am sleeping I must most perfectly resemble them-- Thoughts gone dim. It is more natural to me, lying down. Then the sky and I are in open conversation, And I shall be useful when I lie down finally: The the trees may touch me for once, and the flowers have time for me.

I Am Vertical
I approach most desires like a competition; can I **** better than him; can I be famous at twenty- -three since he was famous at twenty-four -- I must be able to sink better than him. God, it is exhausting. I feel like I'm dancing with a machine; a phantom that I can never catch, for it runs on my blood; my insecurities; my passion -- and, boy, oh boy, can I attest to having plenty of that stuff, ladies and germs. I think, truly, that I am encompassing the American Dream I think is utterly flawed; that I think is futile in nature; that I am sure of is the closest thing to Hell, in this Godless, spiritually motherless dark shoebox of sudden collisions; this space of useful and useless results, splayed onto and into our hearts, asking for reverence. There is nothing I want more than to be sure that my importance is not illusory. I am not sure if I am real.

27. Dope; Degenerates
To my friends who can write fresh-smelling bouquets of words with splendid color, I offer my envy. Mine are the blunt, stunted words, rooted in the cracks in pavement, or forcing their way to light around overbearing rocks. Some useful in their own way, edible or flavorful, some with a pedestrian beauty, but few that one would bring home in a bunch with a box of candy. More appropriate in a grimy, young fist crumpled in love, destined to be vased in a water glass by a doting mother, or shredded petal by petal for the sake of soothsaying... he loves me, he loves me not.

Ignore me, don't say another word, bind my hands and toss me to the ******* wolves, at least they, will crave me. If only my flesh, to nourish their young. at least then, my existence would prove useful.

Ignore Me
Queen of my tub, I merrily sing, While the white foam raises high, And sturdily wash, and rinse, and wring, And fasten the clothes to dry; Then out in the free fresh air they swing, Under the sunny sky. I wish we could wash from our hearts and our souls The stains of the week away, And let water and air by their magic make Ourselves as pure as they; Then on the earth there would be indeed A glorious washing day! Along the path of a useful life Will heart's-ease ever bloom; The busy mind has no time to think Of sorrow, or care, or gloom; And anxious thoughts may be swept away As we busily wield a broom. I am glad a task to me is given To labor at day by day; For it brings me health, and strength, and hope, And I cheerfully learn to say- 'Head, you may think; heart, you may feel; But hand, you shall work always!'

Why don’t you love your body, girl? Did someone stupid make you feel insecure? Everyone is trying to tell you how you should behave and how you should look but ***** them, do what YOU want you didn’t come here to please anybody so go ahead and love your body Skinny, fat, curvy or thin what really matters is what’s under your skin I know you think there might be something wrong I’m here to remind you that you’re strong so if someone comes around saying that you’re ugly and fat don’t even think about it, that’s stupid chit-chat skinny doesn’t mean healthy and fat unhealthy have fun, live and eat what makes yourself happy ‘cause every body is beautiful any other comment is not going to be useful.

If I was a pen My point will be the world, Then my ink will be hope, And the paper is humanity. So every time I touch humanity, I give off hope through the world Releasing it for human kind, The world being a bridge for change, Becoming a useful pen for living things. With every mark humanity will be determined With every touch the world becomes better. And even though I’ll make a mess And even though I’ll spill my ink I can say I scattered hope I can say I tried to change the world for the better And that this mess, made hope sprung to everyone. And as a ‘normal’ pen I will write countless words until everything is gone And You may say hope is gone, But the hope I had inside is given to humanity Filling the hearts and minds. And this hope will form more pens And this hope will inspire And this hope will be a better being And this hope will be our world. But I’m not a pen And I don’t need  to be a pen to give hope And I don’t need a pen to change the world. I’m going to be a human being A human that will spark change A human that will give hope A human who will rise after the storm A human who will see the sun, the rainbow after the rain. I am a human My mind will be the world, Then actions will be hope, And my heart will be humanity. So every time I’ll do something I’ll think about the world And I’ll feel what everybody needs And I’ll know what to do I am a human and I’ll give hope -jnldm

Your laugh was a cloud Loud Enveloping Mist which covered me without the slightest resistance insistence I needed assistance to breathe Your laugh shows I'm useful shows there's a need For us as I feed on the delicious awkwardness we shared Caught unawares by being liked It's a shame your laugh was the cloud which hid a trucks headlights crash shared spent Your laugh a narcotic cloud I refuse to repent

****** affliction of a lack of affection companion Hand and hand strolling greater than syrupy plunging and even sometimes buddy shrugging over wooden noisemakers We whistle with their metal strings and through the pasta soft ones in our throats but no nest colored mares seem to hear our flamboyant feather calls for future fondling So I scribe slight implied short letters invites to drink joints and nature jaunts All too well thought out hoping your advanced technology cannot trace the time I spent to type The overanalysis of our psych: her and I’s wondering why she doesn’t have an inkling for a cute fall date where we attempt to bake apple pies It’s all too contrived, I know I’ll strive for delusion Accept a useful interpretation for our chemical inflammation and let sparks pass it by Like itsy bitsy flies laying eggs in a wound for stagnant water maggots They’ll eat away the thought well where all my cranial zaps seem to dwell.

Thousands of us were displaced Started careers late Not lucky enough to have had great jobs So we work hard Put ourselves through night school While taking care of family Finally ... Yes, yeah,  whoopee Did it ! Once again completed school Another certificate added to the growing list of achievements. More bills owed to uncle Sam Going on numerous job interviews No one's responding Instead ... All this knowledge stored in your head Current jobs pays minimum wages Those colleges attended; mounting When you try to get ahead  - They hold on to their employments As if, It's Rocket science Looking for younger, greener admits Once AARP comes a knocking on Your door You know they don't want your Expertise anymore What's one to do Still strong, healthy, seasoned Educated, no strings to boot Hopelessly stuck in a world of "We will call you " So at the tender age of fifty Thoughts of starting your own business floats in your head Right Now, back to school For another certificate A chance to use that knowledge Put bread on the table Feel useful Quality of life renewed.

You brave heroic minds, Worthy your country's name, That honour still pursue, Go, and subdue, Whilst loit'ring hinds Lurke here at home with shame. Britons, you stay too long, Quickly aboard bestow you; And with a merry gale Swell your stretched sail, With vows as strong As the winds that blow you. Your course securely steer, West and by South forth keep; Rocks, lee-shores, nor shoals, When Eolus scowls, You need nor fear, So absolute the deep. And cheerfully at sea, Success you still entice To get the pearl and gold; And ours to hold Virginia, Earth's only Paradise. Where Nature hath in store Fowl, venison, and fish; And the fruitfull'st soil, Without your toil, Three harvests more, All greater than your wish. And the ambitious vine Crowns with his purple mass The cedar reaching high To kiss the sky, The cypress, pine, And useful sassafras. To whom the golden age Still Nature's laws doth give, No other cares attend But them to defend From winter's rage, That long there doth not live. When as the luscious smell Of that delicious land, Above the sea that flows, The clear wind throws, Your hearts to swell, Approaching the dear strand. In kenning of the shore, (Thanks to God first given) O you, the happiest men, Be frolic then! Let canons roar, Frighting the wide heaven! And in regions far Such heroes bring ye forth As those from whom we came, And plant our name Under that star Not known unto our North. And as there plenty grows Of laurel everywhere, Apollo's sacred tree, You may it see A poet's brows To crown, that may sing there. Thy voyages attend Industrious Hakluit, Whose reading shall inflame Men to seek fame, And much commend To after-times thy wit.

A lot has been said about environ-mental pollution Okay, can we drop the environ for a second How about the mental pollution in this generation The internet loads us with data but not necessarily useful information I wonder, do we have a sieve in our brains that filters the data as it drains Or we absorb them all, to clutter up our minds Gigabytes of junks downloaded into our mental and emotional system I was on the internet to seek information But my mental system received Ads injection Causing a buy this, buy that stimulation You are not okay if you don't have this or have that You don't look good, if you're not shaped like this or like that What we ingest from the internet is 40% information and 60% malware Don't quote me Just an opinion that I want to share This pollution is **** real and it scares!

you are eighteen and you're in love with a boy who hates his birthday. you don't know it yet, but the world gets so much bigger than the back of his car. you think he needs you to be happy and so does he but both of you are wrong. it'll take you almost a year to stop crying. and then you don't talk for another three and when you finally do, he thinks he still knows you, but your heart is heavier than it was then. and you **** him because you're lonely but it isn't the same. neither of you can fake love. at least he still makes you laugh. you'll pretend it's enough because at least he's a body. at least you're not by yourself. at least you're alive and you're good at ******* because bodies are distractions from the things we hide inside them. you have him inside you and he wants to gut you of your ugly, your sad. he scrambles for an excuse not to stay the night and you laugh. you know what this is and how it goes and you both love someone else. you swear you won't **** him again but you do anyway because you're still lonely and you like the way his hands fit around your neck. you **** him because it's good for your art and you get bored of your own hands on your body and you're fine with letting him feel useful. and you think about when you were sixteen and how *** was supposed to be special and it makes you cry because you're not who you wanted to be. it makes you cry, because the world got so much bigger after you left the backseat of his car. the world is so big and you don't know how it ended up on your shoulders. you would have died for him. you have been ready to die for every person you have ever loved. you have dreams where he dies and you can't save him. you have dreams where people die and you can't save them and you're the one who tied your hands. your mangled heart and all its bleeding. nobody asked you to die. what good is all the love in your chest if you don't leave any for yourself? - m.f.

I argue To harm you The protective computer screen Allows me to be rude or mean Without feeling your pain So it becomes a game Or a simulation of fame If I can ignore the shame The tread is wearing off the tire After the internet stripped The rubber off the telephone wire And we lost our loose grip After being shocked By the rest of the flock Their existence Shows a difference That is hard to accept We're not what we expect We push the boundaries of communication But we can't handle the technology I feel it gives me social immunization But I feel the darkness follow me And swallow me Until I'm wallowing Yet I don't know why I try to ignore it Only if it gets me high Will I be for it This utilitarian keyboard Should help me see more Instead it transcribes my anger As I turn into an electric stranger The words on my pixelated screen Do not reflect my childhood dreams But the bitterness of dreams being crushed My petulant reactions are thoughtlessly rushed And I represent my views in a negative way Until I'd be more useful with nothing to say There is a need for empathy In the electronic discourse Right now there is only entropy And words without remorse Spoken from a high horse That looks down on peasants who own it It's also a slave but doesn't even know it So it arrogantly trots along Never admitting that it's wrong Until it hears the slithering snakes rattle Then it doesn't mind wearing a saddle But the venom has already been injected And its mind becomes hopelessly infected We argue without blinking We argue without thinking We argue with poor logic Our ignorance we flaunt it Until the internet is haunted

Probability. I sit here in class, Seeing my teacher talk; It's probably something useful On probability. How about the probability of my life? Probability to do my homework; Non because I've been called a ******** so many times, I've given up. Probability of me getting the perfectly imperfect version of a boyfriend; Zilch because no one appreciates a young healthy, very curvy sophomore with a DD, Yet people who make fun of me will WISH and HOPE for my ******* in their future years They will even get surgery just to make themselves like me, So what is the practical probability they stop making fun of me; Zilch! Probability that I will be seen as more than an object to others; ******** to none because I don't make an effort anymore, not after sixth grade. Probability I will ever feel completely good about myself as a whole; Maybe because I have six awesome friends who don't put me down. Probability my life will get better; Someday but not today My past made an irreplaceable mark on me And my probability. Will the percentage grow, Along with my hopes?

Prayer for Bamboo God
The coconut tree is unlike any other From root to shoot All valuable all useful Giving shade when weaved into roof patches Giving sustenance in the form of food and drink Even when completely chopped, it leaves its marks As the bridge people built to cross the river!
