Mass Murderer

i battled the urge for years . i can no more .
i have never been much of a morning person . recent
engagements have left me bruised , worn out and sore.
the good in me...gone . i brand myself , no longer decent .

it began one still night ... i was sound asleep .
suddenly i felt an evil presence above me . slowly i 
opened my eyes ..a battle...minutes pass , and then not even a peep.
the letters were no more than their name had suggested..'bits'....sigh.

one more day had passed . i sat staring into my lethal hands ,
wondering what was to come . i suddenly found myself swatting air ..
a stupid little bee ! the scent of honey was left behind as i ruined its plans
to sting me . after taking the life , i continued my stare .

as i slept , seemingly i crept through a jungle towards a
very scary sound . just beyond some sugar and brush , there it
stood ...a tiger .  i remember thinking to myself ...i shall not be your prey.
famous last words , " they're grrreat " ... sounds flaky i'll admit .

as corny as it sounds , it doesn't stop there . my next victim wasn't far
off . noisy little creature ...call of the morning ...the crack of dawn .
i squeezed it's neck..screeching , reminiscent of a squad car .
i had never before seen a green rooster . still tired .....yawn.

do unto others as you would have them do unto you . i bit
his neck as hard as i could , the taste of chocolate in my mouth .
the count was down ..frank and boo ran away . another murder i did commit .
ashamed of my guilty pleasure ...my head due south .

i was pecked upon the head and neck . i won't lie , i was scared .
my first thought ...tou-can play at this game . but then i just shot
him . the colorful bird lay dead... my life had been spared.
sam , as i called him ...talk again , he must not .

a ship in the distance , now near . a crew of ten and the man in blue .
they never even knew i was there . luck had been in my corner . the old
cap'n was a fierce opponent , but his death way over due .
with a swing of my spoon there was a crunch ...a monster taking hold .

the list grows as i live , you see .... alpha bits ,honey nut cheerios ,frosted 
flakes ,corn flakes ,count chocula ,fruit loops ,cap'n crunch ...a real life thriller ,
for i am a crazy son of a b_tch....in the morn , always exhausted ,
that will one day be well known as ....the infamous cereal killer !

Am I Crazy

i am not satisfied with where i have to call 
home . it stinks , most of the time . my 
neighbor is a real asshole . my roommate gets to
have most of the fun.. in palm, pink, red or even brown eye .

i think i may be in the u.s. navy . i keep hearing
stories of navel and semen . it's always dark
here , i very rarely get out and about . crap ,
what are u doing , this isn't an amusement park ...

it seems i get the worst of everything ...hit ,
scratched , sometimes he even shaves me . if i am
lucky , i can get licked once in a while . i know
you think i complain alot , but i don't give a damn .

down in the dumps , i feel blue . the moment i
actually get to see daylight , a snap ..the zipper shuts.
everything is wrong , just seems out of place .
i don't know , maybe i am just ......nuts .

A Gift , a Curse

the sun beams its beautiful warm rays down onto us . ask nearly
anyone, what their favorite weather is , sunny would be the answer.
every plant , animal and human needs the sun ... and enjoys it so.
strange how something so crucial , can also cause cancer .

the wind feels fantastic , on a sunny day . nothing feels better
than a much needed breeze , while catching rays , lying on a beach towel .
cruising the boulevard , hair blowing in the wind . buildings crumbling
over into the streets , homes losing their structure ...a terrifying howl .

enjoying a brisk drive through the countryside . gorgeous , natural
landscaping , outlining the rural roads . rain falling , rainbows, stunning hues,
a soft wind . water feeds the plant life , drenching the soil . the blacktop
becomes slick , tires slide .... horrible crunching , screams ... death ensues .

drink in hand , walking after a quiet rain , taking advantage of the fresh air.
darkness begins to fall over the sky . feelings of being watched , haunt her
imagination . a short cut , through an alley , proves fatal . two men
approach ...demanding money . the brutal attack ... she could not deter.

the most natural thing in the world , some would say . two warm bodies
entwined , kissing , caressing , expressing deep desires , anything to please.
seamingly melting in each others arms , leaves them wanting more . at 
the time , never considering , death from a venereal disease .

Dedicated To All Those Women That Said 'No'

if i really wanted to... 

if i leave u at a roadside , in the middle of nowhere...
and drop all of your stuff at random points...
if i flood your house with dirty toilet water...
eat all of your food and sell all of your joints...

if i beat the hell out of your car and run it into a ditch...
maybe give that nasty movie you made to your mom...
if i start dating your sister and a couple of your friends...
walk into your office and drop a stink bomb...

if i feed your stupid cat to my burmese python...
ride your prize horse into some quicksand...
if i drop a deuce or two in your swimming pool...
pour some gasoline and destroy all of your land...

if i cut up your furniture with my chainsaw...
and toss my cookies inside your computer towers...
if i use your phone to call party lines , egypt and china...
cut telephone lines and run my truck through your flowers...

                                    ...i could f_ck you .

All Dad's Fault

so i have the farts , the farts i say
big one little one , won't go away.
nasty farts smelly farts , i have the farts
in my sharts...i say my sharts
cuz it rhymes with farts instead of shorts
which i guess rhymes in sorts
with my nasty little port .

my _ss my _ss, it burns from the gas.
the gas it stinks , the gas turns to shats
i shat my sharts , i did i did.
i shat in the floor i shat in my bid.
i say bid cuz it rhymes with did. i pay
respects to the porcelain god , i pray
i spray , i shat , i moan , today..
tomorrow i sh_t and groan to my dismay.

it hurt , it hurt , it stank like hell
held my nose , couldn't stand the smell
it stank , it was rank ..really bad
it hurt my feelings and made me mad
so sad so sad i really am sad
for all that sh_t i had to shad.
i say shad cuz it rhymes with sad
since it ran in my jeans , i guess i'll blame dad.

Sarah

we talked for hours at a time , without even realizing it.
sometimes our conversations would be about life , religion and love .
a few times , it seemed to be more about laughter and having fun .
she is someone i had come , to think the world of .
her , three children ...and myself , none .

we met online , and quickly became friends . i spent
most of my time looking forward to hearing her thoughts and ideas . we
called each other , almost daily . i began thinking of her more , as time 
passed . could she feel the same ? turns out , to a much lesser degree .
one thing is for sure , unshared love , is not a victimless crime .

i broke a promise to her , almost seemed out of my control .
to never bring up my feelings towards her again . to only be a true friend 
forever . my attraction to her gained strength , every time we talked .
however hard i tried , i just could not get myself to pretend .
the really bad thing is , the more i chased , the more she felt stalked.

i wanted her , because i couldn't have her , she would constantly say .
but that simply doesn't make sense . i wanted to be with her long before
i knew i couldn't . life has taught me , not to give up so easily . it
recently has taught me , just the opposite . try ..... what for ?
not only to lose hope , but also a good friend . i miss you , i submit .

I Am True

my love 
              shall be for one , and for one only.
              will be whole , well beyond my dying day.
              can subside any pains.
              is never lacking , in any way.

my respect 
              shall be of highest regard.
              will be strong and tireless.
              can shine through any turmoils.
              is true , and in time will progress.

my  honesty
              shall never fail , even when i have done wrong.
              will demand respect .
              can cure all worries .
              is to a fault , nothing to suspect .

Departure

influenced by living , time and
sometimes encouraged by others
i have decided to leave this land
one day , and be closer to my mother.

time has trampeled my life ,
my dreams are all shattered. no
children , no future and no wife...
having nobody to hold , nothing to show.

there's nothing i control , in which i can change
to make my life better. having friends is
wonderful , although i always feel estrang-
ed. my life so boring , drab , having no fizz.

~revised~

life is precious and not a thing is worth
causing anyone to leave it . so no matter how bad 
it gets , even unshared love. nothing on this earth
..not anger , not pain... no matter how lost or sad...

                  .....shall force my early departure

Not Forgotten

life taken so suddenly... and painfully so,
no time to satisfy desires of togetherness.
happiness to unexpected fear, emotions flow...
remorse , love , compassion, desolateness.

her words haunt my memory , " i never thought
this year would come to this ." i sat , staring 
into her eyes , nearly motionless ... distraught .
suffering of pain  ...... my heart tearing.

external beauty fading by loss of hair and weight.
bones deteriorating quickly. everyday abilities ...gone.
worries of what's to come. my father , her soulmate ,
by her side ... august 10th..she's taken at dawn.

to this day , it still doesn't seem real . i
find myself expecting to be greeted by her whenever
i return 'home' . and although i have told her goodbye ,
she shall remain in my life forever.



my dad , my brother and i were all with her as she passed....
                              
                                         ....we all miss her dearly.

Friend

a friend will listen when you have something to say.
                   comfort when you have had a bad day.

a friend will acknowledge when they have done wrong.
                   be your strength when you are not strong.

a friend will be there through thick and thin.
                   do their best to understand where you've been.

a friend will not leave you in your time of need.
                   never take advantage or mislead.

a friend will take the time to say hello.
                   love you from head to toe.

a friend will sometimes be more than just a friend.
                   be your lover to the very end.
