"wwiii" poems
Empathy is a disease.
It's a mirror that you always look into.
It is the situation that you are inherently bound to.
Empathy is asking for spare change on the corner of a street.
Empathy keeps you dedicated
Like a nun in it for the pearly gates.
It stamps a scar on your heart that can turn to hate.
Empathy is the cheapest coffin in the whole place.
Empathy encourages that charitable sorrow
That plagues the psyche with a bittersweet notion
Of unbearable understanding and sympathy.
Empathy is all alone, drinking wine and watching WWIII on the t. v.

Remember when you told me you forgot your middle name.
And that you didn't remember if you even had one.
That your parents weren't particularly religious; that they forgot God.
And that you've been forgetful lately.
You couldn't
remember
the last time you picked flowers.
Or a president.
Or shot a gun.
Or put a flower in a gun.
And that Vietnam was like Iraq.
And France would bring WWIII.
"What's my middle name?"
You asked.
"Where's the Middle East?"
"Didn't the nukes dropped in the Nevada desert sand create glass?"
"How many windows does this room have? Can you see?"
"The eyes are the windows to the soul."
My eyes feel old
Is what my grandmother would say
when she was tired.
She would play solitaire.
After each game she would
shuffle the deck three ways.
I would always mix them up
scattered on the tabletop.
That's what I remember
from the sixties.

We are never at peace
Although thats how it seems
And the weight I've been carrying
Has finally been lifted off my shoulders
But i've kept my walls up and they are closley gaured
As I will find my lover
And he shall find me
But until then I prepare for WWIII

Welcome to America, in 2016.
Where "all lives matter"
Except Syrian refugees
Where you can't even breathe
Without offending somebody.
Where parents are taken from their children,
Because of the color of their skin.
Where we normalize police brutality.
Where you can be a racist,
And still run for president.
Where injustice is served, with a side of GMOs.
Where the citizens of Flint have been without clean water for how long?
Who knows.
Our minds are diluted by capitalism and celebrities.
Where people will look at you crazy for saying,
"Save the bees"
Meanwhile they're out there, planning WWIII.
When you're told "your vote counts!"
But we're stuck with Trump & Hillary.
Where women on the red carpet are glamorous and sexualized,
But if you're ***** they'll ask,
"Well what were you wearing that night?"
A guy selling marijuana will serve his whole life.
Whereas Brock Turner was released in what felt like overnight.
Where white privilege has never been more real.
And our generation is learning that
"You're weak if you feel."
People being told we have nothing to fear,
Meanwhile the media is controlling what we hear.
People fighting for clean water, as if that wasn't our God-given right.
Our women are afraid to walk home alone at night.
You can work 40 hours a week, and still not make enough to live.
But if you ask for government assistance, you're a "lazy son of a *****
When in reality, it's just enough to feed your kids.
The Elite have created this illusion of seperation.
They have torn us apart as a world, and as a nation.
The color of our skin doesn't make us any different.
I promise you can love someone who practices a clashing religion.
Underneath it all, we're all the same.
All this person on person violence just makes us pawns in their game.
We should be coming together as humans, who have lost their humanity.
Maybe this all makes my "liberal."
But in all honesty, the current state of the world has me questioning my sanity.
Love thy neighbor, respect their spirit.
Or we won't be around much longer to experience it.
Welcome to America in 2017.
We forgot how to love one another so we were wiped out, mercilessly.
If only we had come together before we tore ourselves apart.
If we remember who we are,
We can be our own light in the dark.

I don't love you. you said.
And my heart dropped down to hell.
The word played over again in my head,
and my tears began to spill.
Why are you yelling?
WHY ARE YOU YELLING?
YOU PROMISED YOU'D LOVE ME TOO.
I'm not yelling, you said; Just telling you the truth.
So is this what you meant,
when you promised with your arms?
When you laid down on my chest and swore you'd never go too far?
Do you find joy in seeing the eyes you once claimed to have loved,
spill tears of broken glass and the secrets you promised of?
YOU'RE STILL YELLING.
EVERYTHING IS SO GOD **** LOUD.
Why would you ever say those things when you were just planning to let me down?
Have you noticed this is all questions,
cause you've made me question myself.
Every time I speak or move,
my head is filled with doubts.
Will I lose her, will she come home?
Will she be safe with me again?
I doubt it, it's quiet now.
They must have killed each other,
the voices in my head.

You forget me so easily.
I don't exist in the plains of busy workdays,
I am lost when your cellphone begins it's cheerful singing,
the overlooked missing page in a thousand pages needed signing
It's as if i don't exist at all.
I barely cross your mind in front of your friends
I blur so easily in the corner of your eye you refuse to see
I fade; a shadow in your immaculate spotlight
To catch your attention means a nuclear bomb, a WWIII
It's not enough That I give you everything, all I am
Despite all that, It compares in comparison to see you SHINE
I all pays off when I see you smile just for me.

Words spoken
to paint a picture
Of a life so grand
the perfect mixture
Of love, joy, peace
and happiness
The freedom to pursue
a measure of success
A life with no dissention
but only tranquility
To walk hand in hand
in a spirit of humility
To work together
to reach our goals
No longer two halfs
but finally a whole
Freedom to exercise gifts
through self expression
Never tearing down
or have bad intentions
Building up
in the spirit of love
One that's so pure
and sent from above
The ideal life
portrayed through words
But time will tell
what'll really unfurl
A simple disagreement
turns into WWIII
I got question for you
is the grass really green?

It’s been a week - things have been happening - I’m going through it. I’ve become nostalgic for two weeks ago. I got screamed at, I lost my AirPods case and I cracked my iPhone screen, so I’m several levels worse - I’m a sad human. I’m writing this at the Apple Store while a friendly Apple person renders me whole.
The Ukraine situation has everyone unnerved. Draw a card - Pandemic or WWIII? Please, protect my peace. So there’s a level of “screw-it” now.
Friday night, I’m in a bad mood and when someone says “Come-on let's go clubbing!”
I’m - “Let’s GET THIS.” Later, we’re at a club, and it’s INSANELY crowded, like a moshpit. It was ABBA night. It did not escape me that this is exactly the type of milieu I’ve been avoiding for years. Did I mention the WWIII level of “screw-it”?
Ok, moshpit, you could hardly move, you definitely couldn’t hear, and Anna dropped her phone - we were sure that it was gone forever but 30 minutes later a hole opens up and there it is - like it’s just been sitting there waiting - so, there ARE miracles.
The list of life’s demands grow by the moment - reading, homework, laundry, dinner, upcoming midterms. I had a rock solid plan for a Saturday night of fun but assignments and necessities destroyed its integrity.
After a heroic effort and completing everything, I felt a fast-metastasizing boredom, so I wandered outside my room, hoping for company and distraction - it was 00:30 AM - and for for once - no one else was there! Where was everyone? Hello zombie apocalypse.
So I did what anyone would do in that beat - I cued-up ”Miraculous,” because Ladybug’s always there for me.

War torn Aleppo
Is featured
In the news today
Bombings **** the innocent
The people hope and pray
We are far
From Aleppo
A bomb not falling
On your head
And like most Americans
I had my daily bread
Even in America
Peace is no guarantee
Will North Korea
Start WWIII?

So many, too many students had COVID two weeks ago. My parents were supposed to come for a visit, and midterms were on the horizon - so I decided to go ahead and get covid - to get it over with. I’ve been around a dozen people who later that day tested positive, but somehow I’ve never come down with it myself.
Peter caught it and was isolated in his suite (two of his suitemates had it). I went to see him, surreptitiously hoping he’d pass it on, but Lisa (the traitor) texted him and he Lysoled his entire suite and wouldn’t let me in - saying exposing me went against his “moral code.” rolling eyes
Now midterm season is on us and a lot of people I know are in crisis. That happens a lot in test times. This place is so cutthroat and competitive. You can get so deep in your own head that it becomes a ***** fish bowl of anxiety. The delightful cocktail of pandemic, WWIII and midterm stress gel, in some minds, to form a sweet, unhinging mix.
My major tests are over (good for me, yay for me!) but I’m not parking my study playlist just yet. I have a couple of papers due. While those don’t stress me like tests, they’ll keep me busy, like everyone else - there’s always a feeling of being behind it and frantically busy here.
We were trying to plan an actual, REAL spring break - that didn’t involve 11 hour layovers and 5 hour bus rides. Something NOT held in a parent’s apartment - someplace adult and private.
Then my Grandmère offered us an all-expenses-paid trip to Paris, saying I could bring three friends and stay at the Hotel de Crillon. A week in Paris with Lisa, Leong and Anna sounds delicious - of course, I told them how positively uncouth it would be to refuse - we’ll see.

To him hold up a crucifix, then go kiss their Sacred Cow

They think they'll fly away...Oh yea, lets wait and see

Broken ----
the ole freight train

Thru the slum town streets of AMERIKKKA
Looking for a girl with money
So I can be - hip - without having to be
Revolutionary
( I'm sure you know what I mean )
We know who the gods are
In this NEW MYTHOLOGY !
( don't we ?)
And how subtly we play the game

Well
If THEY want WWIII
They got it !

We just here gettin laid
Callin it love
Lyin thru our teeth !

The ole freight train dreams lie broken
on some side street in some
Slum town of AMERIKKKA
We play with the glass lying there
We cut ourselves and watch ourselves bleed
WOW ! AINT THAT COOL -- we say

We run laughing thru the poverty till we fall down dead

I guess I didn't find a rich girl
Just you instead

At the beginning of 2020, Australia was on fire.
The threat of WWIII was all too real.
Baby dictators playing with "disposable" human lives.
Disposable lives
Disposable masks
Disposable gloves
Disposable plastic bags
. . . and here were are again with disposable lives.
My family and I survived the Oregon trail and not one of us died from dysentery. A small victory!
George Floyd, "I can't breath."
Black Lives Matter.
LGBTQ+ Lives Matter.
Marching in the streets and shouting until I can't speak. Organizing and criticizing institutions that WE built. People WE put into office. And my more political topics that WE are responsible for.
Black Lives Still Matter.
LQBTQ+ Lives Still Matter.
Anti-maskers, "I can't breath."
A shame and a reflection in the United States education system.
Me walking my dogs, "I can't breath. . . without a mask"
Ashes falling from our apocalypses skys.
My skin burns from the air.
I my dog sneezing because they don't have masks.
My mask discolored from this short walk.
Exposed
Double Down
Tested
Isolate
Negative
Relief
Virtual Life
A light at the end of this long tunnel?
Good-bye Oregon!
2021, let's try Utah?

More.
War.
It's all I've ever known.
Out here struggling on my own.
Each day is a fight to survive.
Each hour passing with this gift of life.
Tears.
Appear.
Falling to my shirt.
Uncover my face to expose the hurt.
Done begging for your approval.
I'm here to instate your removal.
You.
Threw.
Everything you had at me.
Both figurative and literally.
Now I'll try to say this pleasantly.
Get the hell out, I'll count to three.

I went to college
And got more education
And I'm sitting here
On a Friday night
With $4.35 in my account
There are no jobs
And America is ruined
There is no future here
And WWIII might be
On it's way
These older people
I live with
Seem to think
Things will just
Continue on as always
Life's easy
When you have a job
And a steady paycheck
Baby boomers
Still fixated in front
Of the television
Taking pills as well
Repeating the same routine
Over and over again
And I can't afford
To leave
And I won't ever
I don't think
I've learned not
To get my hopes up
For a decent job
California
All dried up
I'm just going to have
A big laugh
When the banks fail
When everything in ruins
America the great ***** of Babylon
Your debts piled high
You legalize gay marriage
Your abortions
Your unemployment
Your stagnant economy
Your growing police state
The destruction
Of the middle class
And decent paying jobs
Let judgement come
Upon this land
Many of the people have broke
The covenant with
The Lord
And will not repent
Our leaders corrupt
Let them be judged!
They have turned away
Let judgement
Come To America

Oh look up in the sky, frightful signs behold
What could all this mean? In the Bible it is told
-
The Bible tells of grief, of pain and death and woe
In Mathew 24, through this you're going to go
-
Then go read Isaiah, chapter ten plus three
Who is this Babylon? very soon you're going to see
-
The Prophet Jeremiah, wrote of death and woe
Chapters fifty fifty-one...this was written long ago
-
Babylon will burn, burn in atomic fire
Vengeance from the Wrath of God...Jeremiah was no lire
-
Not the Babylon of old, the Babylon today
TOTALLY DESTROIED [1], this is the USA
[1] WWIII

What if I were to change myself to be different
To be a new man
What if I were to **** man
Dose that make me any better. No
It dosent matter what he did
It's what he will do
What if I were to stop killing and violence
Make the work peaceful
What if I was to start WWIII
What if I were to change the world
All it takes the the will
Of a single man

Its bound to come sooner or later.
As scary as can be, this is reality.
I have a feeling this time round it will be more gruesomer.
For there was a one and two,eventually there will a come three.
Even when we bring peace there is destruction.
Can we not all get along?
Blame this on the forces of deception.
And why is there always war and competition about who is more mighty and strong ?
One thing all of us ,humans need to do is care a little bit more.
And one thing all of us humans,need to ignore, is the bitter temptation of gore......

What makes the world go ‘round? It’s oil Oil OIL!
We need to have a WAR [1], to get our greedy spoil
-
We’re the ones that guzzle it, so that oil is ours!
Quench our wanton greed, bottle it in jars
-
We’re a Sovran State, we can tell you what to do
You will be our slaves, be on our oil crew
-
We abide, we abide, by the Rule of Law (when it's convenient)
Might makes Right! We will punch you in the jaw
-
We will dominate the world, use the Chinks to do our work
If they don’t bow down, we will go berserk
-
America! America! God’s blessing to the world
Thank you God now go away, our flag of greed unfurled
[1] WWIII

are you ready to start
world war three?
an unending battle
of how could you's
and shock
ridicule on my part
there would be explosions
of anger
and sadness
i would seek refuge in your arms
away from the gunfire,
but how could i return?
there is a battle zone.
are you ready to start
world war three?
all you have to do
is kiss me.

The clouds of War do form. Can't see it? Then you're bind
A war like none before...the death of all mankind
-
WWIII will be, the last one of 3 planed
Soon about to break, the flames of WAR are fanned!
-
Deep down in a Bunker there is a button that is Red
They can't wait to push this button! Millions millions will be dead
-
The button launches missiles, tipped with atom bombs
Thousands of them fly, about your death there are no qualms
-
If you happen to survive, about 3 weeks you have to live
To the fallout you'll succumb, and a **** I do not give
-
Why don't I give a **** Because it's the Vengeance of a God
A God who's Wrath is HOT! The one you thought a fraud

The Stench of Death is in the air, the stench of rotting flesh
The prize of WWIII! In this you will enmesh
-
Celebrate your victory! Glory in your might!
Carnage pain and woe, in these you do delight
-
You won't need a flashlight, in the dark your *** will glow!
Radiation! Radiation! To Hell you'll say hello
-
This will soon all come, NOWHERE can you hide
Calamity and Doom, will be felt both far and wide

Few know, fewer heed this WWII lesson, if you're not taking
bullets you're making them, used to ****** in your stead, on
your steed. Winning WWII by luck could've prevented WWIII.
An eye for an eye, then, allowed the whole world to see.
You see not-see scientists who were working on the atom bomb,
in a strike of sanity, decided that they weren't as criminally
insane as ****** that they must stop him from getting it
by any means. They should commit high treason, half go East,
half West, determining a stalemate, detente amongst powers.
Now it seems too late, that bi-polar axi of supposed powers
'use' of pandemic to subjugate the world to survival instead of
alival, exigency instead of humanity, has pulled the rug out ....
Sadly, everybody's 'going along to get along with the program',
the speed nearly blitzkreiging, of the extermination of mankind
to it's extinction. Why, do you ask? They've premeditatedly
murdered 8 billion with climate crisis and if most figure it out
the global oligarchy, republican and totalitarian conspiracies
(West, East, new world order, same as the old), the corporate
structure, institutions, gov'ts, tools of la machine, would be
facing the wrath of 7 billion souls, they might not fare well, no?
The coronaing of human being is the rich dictated needed segue
to get US to be extinct with a whimper, instead. You, illimitable
potential, indivisible as life, walking nature's balance, giving
back to her abundance, can abolish fossil fuel use, save us all.

It will not be on tv
It wont be in the media
Youll know when they knock on your
Door
With battering rams and armored gear
Throwing tear
Gases at the masses take a seat
Cuz class is
Out of session grab n load ya weapons
Cuz they steppin'
Out of jurisdiction easy prediction
United Snakes paying for the perdition
For all the bad history they've had in the past
But soon North Korea will put that *** on blast
Dare anyone not to understand
Whats up ahead
Keep your head
High and above the waters
Cuz if you dont you'll drown
With no soul streaming pillows
While they pump you with the red blue and white *****
The draft is going to begin
Where will you end
Up in the future
You choose ride or punk out
Or be apart of the revolution
