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...
