The Mind Is a Terrible Thing To Waste (Getting Understanding) Pt.2

Mr. & Mrs. America have you ever been bonded down by your own self made shackle's, and
could not, no  matter how hard you tried. You couldn't find your way out, and your so called
friend's will give advice, and that lead to your mouth with a bad "taste". "The mind is a 
terrible thing to Waste". Some of the most provocative stories ever written came about while
one was incarsarated and time was all there was to influence the mind, not to go empty.
 "A mind is a terrible thing to waste", yet still in my mouth there's a bad taste. In this jail do-
ing time, stuck with these shackle's and it's blowing my mind. All at the same time, my mind
since not to haste and my benevolent curiousity is what strengthen the process of the incon-
sistence of time. "The mind is a terrible thing to Waste".
One need to Understand the basic substance of life. Faith-which results from the evidence of
hope and the transquility of things not seen, and that transquility is what replace the taste in
your mouth and in your waste. "The mind is a terrible thing to Waste".
 Mr. & Mrs. America, and all abroad, what shall you do(?) when the shackle's are gone, and 
so are the dark places of your travel. In the new (you) the creator of life-yes him who 
created these blemishes that rattles our cities and forsakes the mind. He's so philosophically-
omnipo-tent himself, that he and only him can resuscitate's the problems of time and the 
understanding the "greator of him that's in me". You Mr. & Mrs. people's of all issues of the 
chase of life. {Understand} "The mind is a terrible thing to Waste".

Lived

I don’t know much.
Left my Spanish speaking country 
To live in San Francisco when I was one.
Lived there four years before departing en route to Japan,
Another Four years abroad.
Hard to master, let alone speak 3 different languages in such short Time.
Traveled back to my native Peru. 
Was having a hard time in school.
Left to Rome, 
Lived
Three and a half years before heading to Panama. 
Grammar was a becoming a huge problem, 
Too many languages, not enough time to learn them properly. 
Now back to Peru, 
Had to bribe my way to graduate from High School. 
Took a year off,
Decided to attend School of Visual Arts in New York.
Lived four years in the “Big Apple”, got married, went back to Peru,   Worked and lived in Lima eight years before leaving to Miami.
I’ve been living in the Sunshine State for the past sixteen years with my wife and three kids. 
Lived in too many places,
Repeated the word “Lived” too many times,
Because I don’t know much.

A Note From the Syllabus (For My Daughter, Asante)

I have seen the atom's spiral spin
The nucleus designing Golgi and gelatin
Heard stars singing beyond the milky way
Above trees suckling the **** of clay
And sometimes in silence I sit
Where the water laps my dangling feet
Watch sprays nibble the rocks' hard wit
And castle the sands of their defeat

Take time to taste your songs, my child
Linger their scent against your teeth, guile
Is in a world we take for granted
In a universe round all things are slanted.
And when you love, do not know
What tomorrow shall be again
You are only the glow
Of surges suckled by the eternal rain.

Take time to be a poet's eye
And hear the wounded waters cry
Take time to be a child's first thought
And see the moth in the flame's web caught
Life has a long syllabus to learn
I am more uncertain
Sages too drown in all they discern
Just a note at the parting of the curtain.


The Big Bang

>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>There was no big bang
                                  At the begining of time.
                                  This was all set out there,
                                  To play on your mind.

                                  To make you believe that time had a begaining,
                                  To also make you think it has an ending.
                                  But time is like a loop ,
                                  It is forever resending.

                                 Black holes form out there in space,
                                 Where planets get sucked in and are displaced.
                                 Its a planets way of cleansing its self,
                                 It will have a new orbit and also a new face.

                                 It will take thousands of years be for starting anew,
                                 Before humans come along like me and like you.
                                 Small creatures will be the first to appear, 
                                 Then larger animals , like rabbits and bears.

                                 Plants will grow in the rich moist soil,
                                 To feed the animals so theres no turmoil.
                                 We as humans must learn to do better,
                                 Or this  evaluation will go on forever.
