Never Changing
I’ve traded my final smiles for a rock and a rush..
Shooting my veins for death at thirty five.  
last chance to steal a detox from the county cause 
Everyone knows government checks don’t bounce.

Instead I wanna follow the needles of street lights all the...

Premium Member Concerning Classical Musical-
I found the piano for me
You must think that I'm lonely
Classical music, let's talk about classical music
Just stop your waiting
Popping at night
I found the piano for me
We are partitioning and partitioning and partitioning and partitioning
You're looking at the musical play
Just stop your concerting
I'm the ragtime...

The Shame of It All
Sometimes I wonder of
our constitutional might
some things that we do
be wrong or be right

This week will make history
no doubt it's a fact,
In burning the Koran
such a radical act

The man says he's a Christian
wants us to believe,
that Islam is evil
The Koran does deceive

He calls Muslim all...

Television- For Catie L.
Television-
As American as Chop Suey,
We watch it day and night,
Till our minds get very gooey...

I remember shows,
That are no more,
Ones my dad, or I, 
Did adore

He loved his quiz shows,
A requirement of old age...
(Like moving to Fla. from NY)
I remember when
"The Leakest Wink" was all...

Armed and Clumsy
Armed and Clumsy

 New York City

Ralik Hansen had pulled off a heist
Jewelry that was high priced
He was all alone
Hiding out in his home
When he himself was then iced

It wasn’t a rival or cop
That followed him home from the shop
A delivery man
With a package in hand
And...

Marjory Stoneman Douglas High School
Parkland, Fla.
February 14, 2018 

One more senseless mass homicide 
   twas the sole arbitrary aim
as a former student nonchalantly 
   sauntered empty hallways 
   seconds preceding blame
brazenly intent to maximize total killed 

   matter of factly telling...

Feel Me
I do it for the boys, the girls, men, the women,
plus Allah's unborn children look how I'm living
it's similar to, your situation no money making,
just chips and egg crates in front the Playstation.
Cable's late again my real friends know my struggle,
a rough 9 to 5...

Premium Member The Unwanted Cup
I saw you there in my inebriated cup with
 
downcast eyes beseeching but took to it 
 
anyway.
 
It called to me, moved naked as one lady
 
in the Gentleman’s Club did,as she poured
 
a drink on her naked breast.
 
And I drank greedily as...

Premium Member This Is Part of My Story
On a snowy Sunday night in the City of Syracuse, NY, as I sit at my computer and write part of my story from the past.
The weather is very cold outside and I am snuggled up in a comfortable position in my chair.
As I look...

Florida
FLORIDA


We Floridans  sometimes take for granted
What everyone else has always wanted
Our  state has it all
But we prefer  our problems to recall

We’re Northerners gone south  - deportees.
Still we might complain about  the palm trees 
And the climate tropical
And frerquent shuttles astronomical.

Today...

Goo ha goo ja jibber jibber jish.
