Collect Shun Numb ER Won

Haikus 4 U 

A ruined marriage
A broken relationship
What was found is lost

Vice

An alcoholic
Enjoying a privilege
Just a connoisseur 

Sober

I did NOT do drugs
I have some sobriety
I do HATE rehab

Lawyer

Finding the answer 
Spending a LOT of money
Keeping my freedom 



Studio

If geniuses are messy, 
I AM pretty darn smart...
I count my blessings, 
Then work on my art, 
There is rubble and clutter, 
From the floor to the desk, 
Clothes, papers, and dishes, 
Then all of the rest, 
I will write some poetry, 
Sometimes NOT the best, 
After it is finished, 
It is OFF of my chest, 
Finally, I clean up, 
After getting some rest, 
Life is good as an artist, 
I would want NOTHING less...  

Honesty

Everything sucks, 
I am getting screwed over, 
My friends are NOT friends...


Partner

I love her so much, 
I want to marry her soon, 
She does complete me.  

Dowry

What can I do now?  
Everything that I will give, 
Is it NOT enough?  

Mantra # 1 

I will give back, 
Give back to the community, 
I will give back, 
So that we can find unity, 
I will give back, 
Without any impunity, 
I will give back, 
Even when people are using me, 
I will NOT attack, 
Those whom I see as enemies, 
I will give back, 
Might you yet find a friend in me, 
I will give back, 
All that I have been given, 
I will give back, 
With NO hope to being forgiven, 
It is as simple as that, 
That I will give back, 
Now what can you tell me?  
That you NOW do lack?  
Because “Crap!” 
I ALWAYS give back...

Beer

A food and a beverage, 
Now where is the leverage?  
Cold tasty hops, 
Down to the very last drops, 
Sitting at the bar, 
It will NOT get you very far, 
Still, I will drink it down, 
I will still cheer for my home town!  
I enjoy the taste, 
It always fills me up.  
This is a marathon and NOT a race, 
Now it is time to fill my cup.  

Mantra #2 

I will do well in school, 
I am NOT a fool, 
I will NOT be used, 
I will go to my class, 
I know that I will pass, 
I am NOT a guinea pig or tool, 
Time seems to go by so fast, 
The good times I hope to last, 
I will listen to my teacher, 
Just like I would a preacher, 
I will bring our home team so glory, 
While cheering in the bleachers, 
I will shout and I can cheer, 
Yet, while living without fear, 
I would come over and study, 
All I need is another buddy,
No late assignments all in alignment, 
For the rest of the school year...
