Congested Confusion
Tick tock, broke rocks
Speed trap, day naps
Heartbreak, heaven sake
Truck stop, kick rocks
Boon-docks, Stop watch

The Codominum
The earth becomes so congested
Condominiums spring up
Like mushrooms after the rain
Rooms become so congested
Like the hearts
Full of greeds and dreams
Like the souls
Full of expectations and pressures
Many hearts and many souls
Confined in a block of cement walls
But hearts and souls
With different dreams and expectations
Can never be confined
Can never reach a compromise
To keep

The Waterfall
An escape from the congested world
Of routine or great expectations
The waterfall becomes
An outstanding landmark
To our eyes and our souls
The waterfall rushes down
From the heaven
A symbol of
Vigour and life
Confidence
Determination
Perseverance
And truths
It splashes to form
Pearly sprays and circling ripples
It gives hopes
To the hearts and the souls
Of nature lovers and philosophers

She looked out of the window
She saw a sky
Small and broken
Low and congested

The sky

Everyday
Cried my little daughter
Who is seven years old

Capital Congested Ways
Green currency
currently has a capital city way
of ungreening pastures,
dying waters,
spoiling mother lands,
decapitating valleys of red-flowing death,
fears of divested death,
war-torn unvictory gardens,
childhood dreams of peace
and nightmares
of capital-infested war machines,
robots,
goose-stepping soldiers
bearing automated black and white rifles,
either death or life,
you or me,
mutually ungreen
disempowered,
While cooperative
deep qualitative
memories of Earth, pre-capitalized,
and healthy ego wealth
playing ecological green win/win
nurtures greener theological pastures,
and cooperative

Congested Without Psychological Rheum
No antihistamine can
unblock the lifetime
accumulation of stoppered emotional gunk
zapping, undermining, and polluting *****
mine early life in retrospective avast flunk
stripped mined wasteland qua sinkhole,
where eternal reverberations soundlessly plunk
inescapable deafening, and
blinding this targeted
"scapegoat" bullied by most every punk
wrathful verbal sucker punches,
whereby yours truly habitually shrunk
within himself, yet self actualization
predates how severe
introvertedness doth debunk
the penultimate prevalence that
