Movie of ShameI was new at the Jewish senior home
In the center garden I saw old man read a tome
I asked his name, to start a conversation,
"Marvin Klutznik", he replied, to my consternation.
I had paid so much to be in the place
The man I was speaking was a global disgrace
I felt like departing, but since not...

RadioI hear him through the speakers.
He wanders in my mind.
What have I done?
I have one broken chance left.
God, help me
Because I can’t see myself anymore.
A subtle whisper,
But not a zephyr.
Crackle, crackle.
“She is watching you.”
“You know she is using you.”
“Strike back.”
He decodes my reality.
The channels crack with vibrant energy.
“Nobody can hear us.”
What do you want from...

God’s Positioning System GPSHear me out please, Lord, for to you I do pray.
I’ve lost my direction lately, will you point the way?
I’m trying to redirect myself as you asked me to.
Now I need your help, I am counting on you.
Should I sit here and wait for you, I don’t have a clue.
I...

God Is ThereThese are things in my past, of which I’m not proud.
I did these things merely to fit in the crowd.
The direction of my life, I didn’t have a clue.
I saw many people, Lord, claiming to know you.
I would avoid them, due to the things that they’d say.
Like repent to be...

When the Poem Became TearsWhen the poem became tears
As the ink drips,
I have become an emotional basket case.
My keyboard squeals, as the businessman's anxiety climbs
At the sound of the opening bells,
Tariff wars targeting the poor,
Evil Eyes merges with the Texas Tycoons
What is the poor trader's offense?
Going once, going twice,
To be poor is to be...

A Paradise Sepulcher
A promise born, a life designed,
To emancipate, to break the bind.
But fate dealt blows, parents passed away,
Leaving her to shadows, in a world astray.
She sells her body, a living corpse,
A pretty face, a paradise sepulcher, a tragic force.
Uncertainty looms, her future unsure,
A womb evacuated, her soul obscure.
Loneliness creeps, a dejected soul,
Yearning for companionship, a heart...

The Fight WithinWe abuse, pollute and poison
to help us free our minds
pushing our bodies beyond all reason
a starvation of kind
the brain the all important I
the housing just a host
so when the self gives up on life
the spirit becomes a ghost.
Our buildings far from temples
though we think we are gods
the message sent is mental
our roles reversed for dogs
trying...

Tobacco and weed.

Onto that very something....

My FateLyrics by JT Curtis Performed by Ann Icarus
My Fate
As I sit here in this room
Dark and lonely,
Contemplate
Thinking too much
This can't wait
Carefully planning
My Escape
I write down words
That no one will read
about a love
that no one will feed
So, I'll just sit here
with a pocket of seed
Escaping to a place to
grow
As...

We are Spiritual Convicts Serving a Life SentenceWe're criminals from heaven, committing spiritual crime.
Disobeying the Creator with our body and mind.
His law was made plain to us right from the start.
Still if we allow Him, he'll write it on our hearts.
But I'd like to say, please keep this thought in mind.
The earth is a Rock and we're all doing time.
If we don't...

Through it All"Through It All"
I fell to habits hard to break
I made mistakes I should not make
The weight of stress upon my chest
I gave the world my very best
And still I cracked and still I fell
Trapped inside my private hell
But you stayed close and held...

Repetitions - Apr 24I’ve come to—k(now), the sobering conclusion
that I must be a lunatic; else what
sufficiently explains the smirking smut
clouding my judgment?—what viscous illusion—
outright{(diagnosable[,perhaps)delusion]},—
persuades me to heed your haughty strut?
Each inch of every corner of my gut
is begging—not—accept—refuse—intrusion.
ah!, but I budge, I give in to temptation!
why,why,why must I make the same mistake
instead of just quite well so simply...

26-4-2025Another oath I’ve sworn,
Another spoken lie.
Any way to home,
Court me into a door open wide.
Another totem born,
Another standing so high.
Another day,
Another poem,
Thoughts come in the form of rhyme.
Rows of corn,
Pleased to be born,
Taught to stand in line.
Thoughts worn and dry,
Fields seem forlorn,
Ought to stand...
