To Wonder

To many things unknown to me
So many realities I fail to see

To love and it's boundless effects
Which leaves many with confusion and deep regrets

To the search for answers in places unthinkable
In light of harsh and foolish words unspeakable

To the glaze of your eyes through summer days
Much can be assured in your comfort ways.

Why I wonder with all that I have now

I have plenty yet I want more
I have love yet it is not enough
I have freedom to choose yet I do not 
I have an abundance of family yet I am alone
I have a beautiful place I can call home
I have an boundless supply of food yet I am never nourished
I have hopes and dreams yet I fear them
Most of all I have you

This poem is dedicated to humanity

Understanding Zero

Zero what does this mean
Zero has to be everything.

How can there be a 1 without Zero
Even computers binary has a Zero
Even this poem sums up to Zero's

Your eyes are like zero's
Our brain evaluates our value in Zero's


What is this force that allows things to go from Zero to 1 and beyond

Does the Sun that shines has a Zero
Does the flowers that bloom has a Zero
Does the vibrations of sound has a Zero
Is time just a big Zero

Wow the possibility of Zero

In the future there may be Zero diseases

Zero is my hero

Thank you Zero for sharing your infinite ways.

Letter To Future

Letter to the Future

Dear Future Humanity

May I First say hello such a honor to write this
I can only imagine the reality your existence may be
With love I hope you overcame limitations of poverty

I am filled with excitement and optimism of you
In my current life I would see you as Gods and Goddesses
All that we strive for today, you will see it come true

We strive for equality and freedom from disease
Ending Global warming and debt free society
We strive to know the secret's of space, time, and energy.

We strive to be a race to travel amongst the stars
We strive to free ourselves of selfishness that's stirs within our hearts

We strive we truly strive.

I do ask that you forgive us for what we may do to harm our planet
Such a burden you have to spend your lifetime to correct it.

To future humanity hundredths and thousandths of years ahead
I cannot physically say how much I love you, but may you read this letter instead

Forgive us for our ignorance, and may the spirit of possibility shine
You are the current descendants of all Human kind

May you live with Grace, Love, and Peace

Dedication To Love

I cannot say enough how much you inspire me.
You shared your wisdom and kindness abundantly.
Let me try to explain a feeling that is overwhelming me.

With you I have won the Powerball Jackpot and I did not buy a ticket.
With you I have cured all diseases that ever existed.
With you I have found the most sacred scrolls ever written.
With you I have located the Ark of the covenant desired by religions.
With you I have eliminated racism
With you I have eliminated sexism

With you I have realized we are not alone in the universe.
With you I have realized I will transcend beyond death to another birth.
With you I have realized creations worth.

With you music is the vibration of my soul
With you taste is what it really means to know.
With you I see colors that only through you can be shown.

With All I am trying to say words can never explain
Because of you I understand the meaning of Big Bang.

Dedicated to love and my love Zahmi.

Tears of My Past

In the night of times I recall
My youth filled with dread and hopelessness
The world seemed so unrealistic and small

On the television we see disney movies of miracles
Then we step outside our doors and I am labeled a criminal

What crime have I commited to be labeled as such.
I have feeling I did not create the liqour stores that shower our communities.
I did not create the guns that desecrate the minds and hearts of our youth truly.

Imagine you were born as me
Inhereted a world you did not create,but forced to see.
Imagine all your life you were told you were not worthy.
Imagine all your accomplishments were praised as if it were something special.
Imagine if the police harassed you
Imagine if you had to read your books on the floor so you do not be struck by a stray bullet.
Imagine if you were called negative words by all people around the world.
Imagine if you wanted to scream from the agony but can't

It's so easy for you to judge and make comments, becuase you don't have to experience that.
For those that do, my heart and soul cries out for you.

Humanity is one
Earth is one

With all that you imagined, lets imagine creating a place of peace and love as one.

So Different We Are

So different we are

We are different in every form
Some are tall
Some are Short
Some are Heavier
Some are Thinner
Some have different beliefs
Some reside on different lands
Some have different sexual preference
So different we are

Some like to eat meat
Some prefer to live in solitude
Some like different music
Some like to play cards
Some enjoy meditation
Some have long hair
Some have short hair
So different we are

Some were born on the same date
Some enjoy running
Some enjoy science
Some enjoy riddles
Some enjoy hiking
Some enjoy reading
Some enjoy speaking
So different we are

With All that makes us different we are common in one

We all enjoy something which give us peace in our hearts

Heart of Fire

With Fire in my heart who can stop me
I can soar beyond the highest clouds properly
My castle is boundless in beauty and wonder
My breathe can ignite light like no other
History and the present I exist fearlessly

In many ways that can be imagined I take form
I can be blue, green, yellow, all things are possible 
My power comes from you so please don't let me die

Think of me, dream of me, speak of me
My fire needs to exist with every way you decide

Give me imagination I am the Dragon inside

Knockers

Knockers

Knock Knock Knock on the door.
We say yes 
They say can we come in

We say yes come in open the door
They come in as a team of three

First one comes in excited about the games of life
The second is quiet and stares for a second to see if you alright
The third comes in dances like its a party day and night.

Knock Knock Knock 

The Knockers are at it again
This time they knocked over expectations we set for them.

We say overcome that challenge
They overcome easily with a knock

We say don't put yourself in a box
They knock the box down

We say never give up on each other
They knock on the door together

They knock together
They order food together
They dream together
They play together

With all the knocking they love us together
The Knockers knocks are a eternal blessing.
Knock Knock Knock we love it and you forever

Keep on Knocking

Dedicated to our 3 wonderful Kids Dylan, Chyna, Bradley.

This Person

The person who is there 
The person who cares 
The person i can trust with my life 
The person who has kept watch of me even 
Though there has been hard times but there 
Has been more good than bad 


The person that is weird 
The person that makes me laugh 
The person who i feel safe around 

The person i love with all my heart 


My dad

I did not write this poem. This was written by my wonderful Daughter Chyna.
