Seriousness leads to statehood
Eventually it does
Fun maintains anarchic mood
A peaceful little buzz
It helps the plants to grow
It colours up the day
It makes me want to go
Just every which way
I’m living on the fun side
In hiding from aggressiveness
Through time and space I gently glide
Away from seriousness
I know it stalks me anyway
To occupy my time
With suffering about what may
Occur like senseless crime
I can be judged, despised and banned
But fun’s the only thing
That never fails me in this land
Of which no bird would sing
All the calamities I’ve known
All troubles deadly heap
Can’t shatter love, which I had sown
And fun is what I reap.

Midst his playfulness,
I could find gracefulness;
Midst pugnacity,
Great amicability;
Bravery wrapped in fear,
Foolishness enveloped cheer;
He chased rats and cats,
And humans he thought burglars;
His irritability outwitted sociability,
Aggressiveness withstood passivity;
Seeming treachery,
Couldn’t hide his loyalty;
It’s hence when he died for me,
To protect me from an accident to be;
Words like defender or Savior,
I found, could never define his behavior...

What might be the matter
With our next-door Martha,
Her rash mischief steady
And she, by choice, heady;
Content to seem an Eddy,
Her gross slaps often ready
Last week, the cheeks of Freddie?
And her guy who is intelligent
Keeps betraying more The Belligerent
Our own share of Satan’s Sergeant,
For his weapons include detergent
And maybe, tomorrow, A Reagent!
A huge surprise they call him agent,
Who thinks and acts like an insurgent.
I keep espying an aggressiveness
Of catching sureness and silliness

History never goes away totally
Some remain
The repetitions of characters or mischieves
Selfishness
Greediness
Aggressiveness
Maybe we man
Who discovers the time
Who invents the clock
Who discovers the black hole
Who travels in space
Can stop or reverse time
To return to the previous gland age
For a better trial
A rebirth
And a better tomorrow
May be a new kingdom in outer space

She said she had a Mad Hatter notoriousness
But I did not see it in any whit of a way.
She flaunted it with an aggressiveness
that amused me at first, but then irritated.
I thought she was kidding when she said how popular she was
But many fawning sycophants followed her around
Believing it as truth because she was aggressive
I imagined that none wanted her meanness turned on them.
I am getting increasingly more popular she bragged at supper.
Mom laughed, but Dad congratulated her.
She always was his favorite daughter, me being the homely one.
My soul did not believe in her Mad Hatter notoriousness,
so we stayed at home, not looking out the window
While other weak-mined sycophants goose stepped behind her,
throwing flattery out of their mouths like yesterday’s leaves.

Gypsy Fortune Teller costume revealed my most dazzling self
Wearing hot pink, silver, gold, purples, and flaming oranges.
Carrying a crystal ball, tarot cards and runes.
An elaborately embroidered shawl over my shoulders.
Enjoyed myself ever so much at the Octoberfest, reading palms.
My psychic self pranced forth, hugging my soul with delight.
Pirate Queen costume, reveals my hidden slashing self.
She looked so unassuming, they thought, until they saw me now.
My blousy sleeves set off my enormous black boots and eight inch belt.
I moved daringly, with aggressiveness I usually cannot muster.
The crowd cleared a way, seeing my determined purposeful pirate walk.
Sword and pistol attached to my side, I felt a confidence I rarely feel.
I growled at a few children and they laughed, because they knew me.
Elvira, Mistress of the Dark costume revealing more than I should have.
My sensual, sexual, excited to be me side, so I shared it only with my man.
Wearing it at home, in the bedroom where others rarely go.
He likes this one the best. Even better than my French maid costume.
Enough said.

You wonder why I feel alone - u don’t understand - do you get where I stand?
Only...hm, if only you knew how lonely I felt at this present time...only you would know...
Understand that I’m lonely because of YOU, yet u still don’t understand how things got so...out of hand...was it because of ME? Yes and no, it was because of YOU and me, u see? Ah, now you see where both of our airplanes land.

nothing run faster than water
water got no enemy
but not when you can't
swim
never provoke the waters
cos the it goddess
also got powers
when it strike
it's unstoppable
you can't withstand
it aggressiveness
it force could shake the
world
we could see what
disaster she could do
with her force
so here you see water
has life
if not despite it force
why do you need it
so when we abuse
water
when we pollute the sea
when we kill it inhabitants
despite we feed on it fishes
yet we abuse water
and when it strike
it force is unstoppable cos
nothing runs faster than water

The commotion comes with aggressiveness,
It haunts me without having a chance to atone;
Nothing seems to be clear enough I digress;
The addiction is high it makes me forlorn.
In time I had voluntary admitted myself to rehab,
The unrest of my spirit fought me without respite;
I had decided to be clean even though I was drab,
The unrest spirit of alcohol relented without a fight.

This earth we live in by blind force,
looks a poison gourd not avoidable.
Born without choice we agonize
Forced to live on earth we are mutes
Innocence one comes with on earth.
Ignorance one carries to this planet.
They soon vanish without warning bells,
and replacements are made in secret.
Venom conduct for primitive innocence,
dangerous facts for loving ignorance,
aggressiveness for humility and love; and
the list flows unstoppable cradle to grave
Not one of these is from mother’s womb.
in the stomach of the earth rest things
poisonous things, evil much cherished
that contaminate the soul, mind and heart
And humans are what they should not,
having been poisoned by the gourd

Something seems amiss,
yard creatures abound today
demanding and fighting over seed and food.
The usual half dozen squirrels
have doubled up,
unfamiliar birds have come.
Each more determined and persistent
than the residents
the familiar furry faces of the seasons.
Aggressiveness is rampant
and the regulars, more timid
are pushed off to the sidelines.
They wait patiently
in hidden places of refuge
the holly and the full leaved brush.
The cold falls heavy on the leaves
that crunch beneath
fast, quick, tiny feet.
The parade goes on constant on the move
for an hour or more
and then suddenly, mid morning -
all is quiet
only a few remain behind,
the clean up crew.
Like scavengers
they prevail
retaking their place and residence in the yard.

in the castle, it smells like acid
it makes my nose bleed, and burns my skin
it's okay, though, we live with it
you love your future, you love your minions
you call them cool like they're not very putrid
it's okay though, i live with it
palace boy, don't you want to leave this city?
are you married to the oddities
of the gold trash people, prince of the community
you hate this place but you hate saying goodbye
to us grody ass clowns
to your high class status in this lower class town
aggressiveness, confidence
you're aware of what they wear, what their hair is
you've got no mind, but you've got your sociability
you're no better, just made of leather
from their skin, while you get all your things done
you think you're king but you know nothing 'bout your kingdom
palace boy, don't you want to leave this city?
are you married to the oddities
of the gold trash people, prince of the community
you hate this place but you hate saying goodbye
to us grody ass clowns
to your high class status in this lower class town

If I was white,
would I be expected to be bright?
If I was white,
would my condition cause you to be contrite?
If I was white,
would my aggressiveness lead to a fight?
If I was white,
would my ceiling have a limited height?
If I was white,
would my dreams soar high as a kite?
If I was white,
would I have unlimited insight?
If I was white,
would I have the opportunity to innately see the light?
If I was white,
would you fear me at night?
If I was white,
would I be born with a negative plight?
If I was white,
would I have to be extra polite?
If I was white,
would I have to fear being killed by police on sight?
If I was white,
would that really make everything alright?

Laying in the depths of the unknown,
Harvesting such emotional prowess ‘til it’s fully grown,
Finally showing itself,
The monster has surfaced,
Its energetic aggressiveness trumps all around it,
The fire,
The hot fire lashing out,
The animalistic pressure rising to even newer heights,
The monster sets out for total destruction,
I know this monster,
I am familiar with its capabilities to harm and destroy,
I can relate to it,
Something needs to be done before the reality becomes regrettable,
And the aftershocks become news,
And the aftershocks.... become news.

My lavish world of happiness
With digging of hole to fall down myself
To flow into the drainage
Far afar to go and go and go
Damaged all and ruined
But know why? No idea
Perhaps missing and losing heart
Big breakage and gaping
Heart-loss moment and loss of trust
My heart was clean so far
I was thinking with boldness
The time was driven to me to the way of endanger.
It was the battle of life
The bad days of life
Truthfulness of life
Years gathered thoughts and knowledge dampening
And harshness of valueless spilling fate
Concurrent offerings brought better experiences
Useless practices and securing hate occurred
Growing in the mind mostly
Painful moments padlocked.
I got diagnosed with growing sorrows
God! You are omniscient and almighty
I know you have created to me and landed
Overlapping with this stressful life bringing monotonous moment
I am dying in this survival
Plenty of thoughts dying
Bizarre of my life dying along with
My fun dying, my pleasure dying
My activeness and aggressiveness all dying
O God! Then say to me who I am?
I am your creativity or throwing trash of this Earth?
