I’m in my prime; at the cusp of my development. A few more years of growth make decay a lot more relevant… *Glass Elephant, Glass Elephant,* Irrelevance, benevolence, Compassion, or malevolence; I’m one of few who sees it sums no difference. Glass objects. Or Elephants. Irrelevance, Irrelevance Striving for motion, with motive elusive Each thing I endeavor is far too exclusive I need something inclusive, objectively singular A sinusoidal wave with a mean lacking integers Peace in zero and equilibrium inclusion *Glass Elephant Glass Elephant* Delusions, Delusions

Glass Elephant, Glass Elephant
It's hard when you use to feel way at the top Like you would never stop Every one telling you how good you've done Making you feel like you were number one But in the blink of an eye you go from one to done zero, zip, nada, none You thought you'd never fail the ones you loved But we all make mistakes Like breakups and makeups Sometimes it may be better to just give up But how many mess up will it take you to realize your done Never being number one.

Never number one
ground zero i become aware of boundaries i am a dog chasing cars i sing your voicemail to sleep there are no surgeon general warnings to tell me that *the objects in the mirror are more depressed than they appear* so how do i tell you that there are parts of my life that move slower without you in them? or that i look for you every day in emails & unanswered calls in the sunrises i didn't choose to be awake to watch that i sometimes still stare at doorways hoping you would walk through them    stage 1 you tell your new lover you've got a splinter and they pull the sound of your body falling asleep on mine out of your fingertip    stage 2 your new lover says something at dinner that makes you choke so they call 911 & the paramedics do the hymleich not knowing you would ***** our promises all over the the restaurant    stage 3 your new lover surprises you by cleaning the house & washes the shirt you kept next to the bed, not knowing it was the last thing you had that smelled like me after people always ask what was loving her like? after a really long silence i just say "it must be nice" but i never say it's watching paint dry i never say it's a window seat in hell i don't tell anyone about the dreams where i am reading you bedtime stories each one is a different way you die & every time i can never save you dreams where what i think are angels in my bedroom are just homeless versions of myself you never loved i have dreams where i pay someone to shoot me just to see if you would cry just to see if you would cradle my body i don't tell people that loving you is like playing piano for someone who can't hear that it's hitting repeat on my favorite song & forgetting the words every time it starts over that it's finding out there's no milk after you already poured yourself a bowl of cereal it's getting locked in the dark & being told to look on the bright side that loving you is like being reminded of what it felt like the first time you accidentally let go of a balloon as a child it's drowning without the water it's the feeling you get when you start to dance & the song ends

I know not how many million stars there are. But I know there is only one earth. Maybe we have counted the protons of the atom as many it has in its nucleus counted the electrons on the run orbiting the nucleus. But the spinning circle is a zero yet to compute the unifying one! It's a pattern spans the universe. I know there are billions of us human out there on earth. But all I want is only one. Just to count on a permanent one!   The big earth is a bigger zero null. Standing on barefoot without the perpetual one. No glue, no roof nor a sign only on one pure rigid science!

One Pure Rigid Science
It comes without warning; you can't choose whether or not it happens to you. It's a calling. The act of someone needing you, not someone else, but you. You are the hero they need to save them, before there's nothing left to save. You stay up late trying to find ways to become this hero. You and the caller talk as long as the caller wants. While this might not be the ideal situation for the hero, they do it anyways in order to make sure the caller doesn't end. The hero swoops in at every situation they can, trying to convince the caller; trying to say how much they're needed. Many times, they succeed. The caller decides they want to see another day. They want to stay strong. That gives the hero relief, and only pushes them to try harder. But, there always seems to be one final time when the hero's too late. This is the time where it's not only the caller's end, but the hero's, too. The hero hits zero; the hero doesn't want to continue when they know how they could've prevented this. And that's when the cycle restarts- the only difference being the hero is now the caller. The new hero, on the other hand, unknowingly waits for the call; the call that could save a hero's life.

Far and near they are two stars rose in the same orbit. One shows up is a dazzling shimmering sun. One is so polished fine as if the zenith is zipped in zero bytes. No grave can grasp it in the end. It has no end, no size zero left to demise. An ocean is no more now is only a drop. Now the ocean is in a drop. Still on the ground walking the walk but those giant feet do not show up! Can we hear it bending the ear on the ground? The orbits on the go with the sun on the top pile into the vibration within only to float up a notch then bends down once more.

The hood won't be the same, We're out standing in the rain, To encourage sprouts as we once did our children; For down the road you see it's as legal, As a Timmy's and a cream-cheese bagel, We're good to grow the free green grass at home. On this side of our border, Starting this October, We'll bake it, vape it, roll and bowl to take it; Down the road you see it's now legal, The price of home grown's dropped to zero, We're good to grow the free green grass at home. Yes we're all on board to greet it, Some inhale and some will eat it; We're good to grow the free green grass at home. I'm awake and it astounds me, My four plants that surround me; We've realized what we've long been dreaming; For there's a store where we can cop some, Come the fall fresh buds will blossom, We're good to grow our free green grass at home. Yes we're all on board to greet it, Some inhale, and some will eat it, We're good to grow our free green grass at home.

Tomorrows Exam is Mathematics loaded my head with unknown tricks Doodling with numbers Yes, teacher calls us dumbers Too much problems, yet very lil, solutions The long mountains of graphs The Greek symbols alpha, beta omega equations and formulas Find height, depth use trigonometry My answer a picture of a tree infinite zeros in red Sets, Relations, Geometry, variables and algebra and Lines, Its like stepping into a field of mines All time me wondering why reciprocal of zero undefined? much of the time In exam, I stay undefined!

Devilish torment -- her body is my lament. She crawls beneath the cracks and finds The dark cellar, where my "worst" ferments. She feeds it as it rots, Just to make its wine more bitter . . . Squeezed from the finest lies,         Designed to make an addict from a quitter. Like a dark and tempting vacuum                 That my soul cannot escape, Attractive in its repulsion,                  It's a part of me that loves the way it hates. Masturbatory and selfish, With a thirst that can't be quenched . . . She finds the spots within me,                    That make even deities flinch. Their knees crack and crumble,                    At its all-consuming "nothing". . . I never knew my zero could be so wholly unbecoming. She, or it, will surely be my undoing. Yet, somehow, that keeps me moving. So uncomfortably I'll admit . . . It's the brutal nature of it all, That I find so disturbingly soothing.

Nemesis
Let me apologize, to begin with because of my body type. I will NEVER be good enough for anyone to date due to current 'hype.' You know, the battle of 'bones' vs curves? Just let me inflate myself to the  right number so I can properly serve As the perfect specimen for your delicate eyes. Obviously no one is good enough unless they've got decent thighs. But just wait a god **** minute, because here I am again: So let me apologize, to begin with, if I offend You or your friends who think they're too good To date someone size zero with some extra love under the hood. How many times have I heard you exclaim in disgust Of how large she is and how you'd drown in her, If you even got near her? I saw you shaking in fear. From your head to your toes, you were trembling dear. See I'm told to eat less and maybe, just maybe But if I was skinny, and let's tell the truth, You'd be so disgusted by my looks . I could eat a salad and still gain a pound , She could eat a salad and the crunch is the only sound You hear a mile away and yet you would assume That burgers and French fries is all that she consumed. Do you ever stop to think, ladies and gents? The true beauty of someone isn't based on the number on their pants. So, let me apologize, to begin with, If I bruise your massive ego, But the way to tell if she's the perfect woman is not by your libido

Let me apologize
My entire life, I have been waiting. For years, Almost two decades now I have been waiting. Waiting, For the better parts. Waiting, For the “soon”. Waiting, For my life to begin. Because, I don’t feel like I have lived. In the nearly twenty years I have been alive And breathing I do not feel In any of those years That I have been alive. I don’t feel like a single breath That I have taken Has been real. I feel as if All these years I’ve been stuck Behind a window Watching as my life unfolds Before me. I feel that I have had Zero control. That I am in the backseat Letting someone else drive. That someone else, Is writing on the pages Of MY life. But no more. I will break that window, I will take that wheel, And I will write My own pages. My life has begun, And now - I’m in control.

Control
Shriveled & shrunken. Intoxicated & drunken. Hung over & agitated. Mild to moderate brain activity. Common sense & basic reason lacks mental ability. Bad with money & squanders financial stability. Passing a psychological mental health evaluation not quite. Kept in a straight jacket & sedated in isolation they do spit & bite. They go through everyone's trash day & night. They panhandle at the street lights. They have tempers & pick fights. Nothing they do is legal or right. Slobs with no jobs. They lack work ethics. The sight & stench of them is sick. They're sad story is lies & tricks. Not a truth that sticks. They cuss & their pocked face oozes **** Their frontal lobe is filled with dust. About telling your teacher the truth they get homicidal & make a fuss. They drive a piece of **** car consisting of smog & rust. Getting arrested for 365 × 3 + 2 counts of child **** is never a bust. Keep your children away from drunks. Some drunks get violent, beat you & lock you on a trunk. Most pedofiles & rapists are drinkers. Not religious or moral thinkers. With shingles, hpv virus, ****** & boyles. Zero morals as hideous as an ugly *** gargoyle. Enjoy arguing,  screams & shouts. Daily drunk driving & behind the wheel blackouts.

Innocence Unattended
It’s all you’ve ever seen in a midnight’s dream the zero sum games and exorcised demons asinine plunges on tunkwa brides phantom fingers cradling the ragged red dress shadow hands clasp at the floodgates lava fields boil through scorched amber veins needles pierce the look out where flames dance wildly over boneyard grounds deep red pedestals behind bleeding walls empty halls and doorways throughout the sinful nest bulging eyes and blood rush in a dark crimson sky a funeral, before I die

sky's so cold reminds me of her she always blew me a cold kiss eating ice cream when it's zero degrees ice queen she covers the sky with an independent gloom I'm waiting on the snow she gives the best shows wearing glittery shoes eerie feeling you aren't here with me I almost felt you beside me I need to let her go move on let the sky fall

The Feminine Core Without it, Earth is no Earth. I, Fathima—the primeval woman—have no doubt: the circle of prophets is my witness— I touched the bottom of her waters. Zeroed into her zero-neigh, circled it with my hair, and laid down her foundation, hardwired with my circle.

The Feminine Core
Zero is enduring zero is deathless. Nothing is up to it none can mirror it though forever it's an open case. The eyes are yet to see an open face! Because like it's nothing is in perfect shape purely a perfect circle! Nothing matches it as like Fathima is none else! Ever more sprawling pi decimals never go unnoticed propelling to the end surge before her. Before the original one Fathima is yet to be mirrored. All the planets turn circular before the unseen perfect circle. Fathima nails it snapped it up circled it with her hair! Before the furthest sighted eyes, the dot at the earth's centre at its pool of primitive water. Fathima embeds in a loop of her hair thus supercharges the water! It finds the cut, the golden ratio, constant continuity in her hair's inner flow. And the Big Bang happened there, their breakthrough! The potential worlds to be from the first drop of water she gets them all buzzed out. From down the rock bottom, from the zero null Fathima finds and raises the sun! Nothing is comparable to it on the ground nor up on the high, we only see the fire of a heavenly phenomenon is beyond the sight!

Human directives, veracities unverified   Bellies belching with anger, murderers Udders dripping hate, foundling banters Hunters striking the hungered, unfortunate Glare sight to seek the truth, hold me lets sink Tear motions and debates of inequality My Dafur, the realm of the fur, demise All armed in Sudan, the arid, a battlefield Emergency alarms sirens from 2003 The indefinite complications and hunger A land of the displaced, starving nomads Hear me out in these non-dissolving conflicts Guantanamo bay detention a prison vicious A base for “war in terrorism”, reciprocal laws Inhumane human interrogations persists A breach, a revolt, the hunger riots devolve Force-feeding, torturous measures applied All undressed, humiliated, genitalia exposed A Rwanda slain in divide and rule Civil clashes, mashes, all trashed Swaying war rapes, tapes, the raves Machetes slashing necks and hands A lust of power, a genocide slaughter The Tutsi slewed and unsewn from a patch Autocratic regime boring divisions Territorial ethnic cleansing, a holocaust The oppression of Jews, Romanis, Poles Homosexuals, the disabled and mentally ill Indifference pooled in pits and camps The institutional social indoctrination The honor and killing to expose shame The violation and dishonor of moral fabric For what is “good”, “bad”, fixated moral values Buried waists and head, awaiting stones to hit Confessional secrets of only what lays within A torment watching witnesses, all dangling Marxists calls ships to stow ashore Masses kidnapped, confused in deceit Invalid contracts awaits signatures The white immigrants to be enslaved All aboard, now abroad to revolve labor Wage packages taken to pay for freedom Humans bought and sold to be owned Slaves yorked and counted as assets Bounded to serve plantations and homes A human, non human, a chattel, a slave A debt ******* offended and ***** Untamed and made to obey a master A falling global strings unturned Tunes strumming hate, war and pain Human trafficking, violence, inequality Child abuse, civil conflicts, capitalists Commercialism, zero hour contracts For if we have no rights, I have none For if we have no peace I have none

This poem was written after watching a few hours of slam poetry on Youtube. Let me know what you think...it's my first shot at slam poetry. There are so many words flowing around out there about the big girls. The thick girls, the curvy girls, the p-h-a-t phat girls. About their plush and soft exteriors, their abundant backsides, their willingness to accept themselves and their hopefulness that others will do the same. Their….thereness. They are beautiful, don’t get me wrong. They are beautiful. But what about the skinny girls? The small girls with petite builds and large hearts and an aversion to the word short. The size two and under girls, the drive thru can’t gain a pound girls, the I AM NOT ANNOREXIC OR BULLEMIC girls. The girls who will always be referred to as “pixie-like” or “waif-like” or “twig-like.” The perfect model body girls that all of the other girls hate…because of their lack of fat. Aren’t they beautiful? The girls with the size 32 bust line, the girls who, at 24, still shop in the junior sections of department stores. The girls who, regardless of their age, their strengths and weaknesses, their experiences, heartaches and joys, disappointments and triumphs, their want or need for life and love will always look like they missed a meal or gave it back purposefully with the intent of becoming even thinner. The girls who, no matter how ******* HARD they try, cannot even weigh 100 lbs soaking ******* wet. Aren’t they beautiful? The big girls have to search and search for cute and **** and attractive clothes because of their size. Guess what? So do the skinny girls. Do you know ******* hard it is to find a pair of pants with a size zero waist and a 34 inch leg? To finally find an extra small shirt that doesn’t have one of the top three cartoon characters of the time plastered across the front? All I’m saying is yes, the thick girls, the curvy girls, the p-h-a-t phat girls… They are beautiful. But ****** so am I.

You don't see me but I am There, I have numerous ways To take you, Hold you, Control you, You'll not even know I was there, I am a conqueror of flesh. Feeling... Sickly, siphoned, strained Both body and my brain Doctor said it's just a cold Nothing but a passing pain Is this hypochondria, Or is there something in my veins? Your insides are my playground To cause you much anguish & pain I'll infect you slowly at first, Have a little fun within your Organs Muscles Thoughts I aim to control, invisible To the eye, but you know I'm in here, your losing control. Today I coughed up blood Cold sweats come in floods I'm drowning in my own bed As I clutch my feverish head There's an inferno in my skull I'm taking Vicodin to null Whatever it is eating at me I know I'll be better in a week. You apes think size is intelligence, This was your undoing from the start, I replicate myself, as its my time to move on, I leave apart of myself here As its time too Infect Multiple Spread My gift to those around, You sneezed You coughed Upon your sweat, I am Now on everything you touch, Time to end the play, "Business calls" Be Proud of your self Patient Zero, dear human You were my first, But its time for me to move on...
