I Watch,I Listen

I WATCH my fellow children as I examine adults,
good and bad,very odd results.
I LISTEN to whom I come in contact with,
if lied to I'll still display strength.
I WATCH the news which is always violence
what's on the news, then happens to you
then there's silence.
I LISTEN to other ones hopes 
and the outcome is we all have obstacles to cope.
I WATCH I
and come to a conclusion to touch the sky.
I LISTEN to numerous songs
they are predominately beneficial,few project wrongs.
I WATCH time go by
when occupied by what you love time flies.
I LISTEN to the birds in the morning
then escape to the impossible, to hear the lions roaring. 
I WATCH my imagination
I LISTEN to my floetry
which is motivation.

Foolery

The wind blows
as the leafs tremble
and the ocean shivers

Televisions are watched
as games are played
and the phone is ringing

The children go to school
as parents work
and criminals do their dirt

The fridge chills
as the freezer freezes
and the toaster pops

The singer harmonizes
as the people dance
and the beat bounces

The monitor freezes
as the computer crashes

and you listen to this as it makes no sense !

Murder By Society

Karma hit me with a powerful blow
So when I died, I died slow, but I was thankful for the K.O.
I guess I deserved it, since society claimed I earned it
No, I was never evil, because I never had a teacher to learn it
So I wondered like a newborn
And came to the conclusion that my soul is who tore me 
From the reformed to the unnorm
So shall I destroy my inner-self
To satisfy everyone else?

Nevermind, i'll just be a poor poet under the bridge
Die?
According to society, I already did.

Living Life With Short Terms

We say ooops on our accidents throughout the day.
We say owww when hurt physically.
We say tv instead of television.
We say poet instead of living, walking poetic mastermind.
We say internet,when it's really a guide to the world.
We say U.S.A., why not United States of America, come on people it's country we 
live in.
We say fries,let's at least respect their background and culture,by saying french 
fries.
We shout "get the phone". My fellow people,let's symbolize Alexander Gram Bell 
and shout "get the telephone".
Most people say the noun "us",I say we the people.
I say "we" because, we are a group, and a very special one.
We live our life on short terms and don't even realize it.
