MENTAL HEALTH ALONE
Once a party of aloneness;
Group together, with confinement;
Shatter for ego, trip, bliss;
The truth of the matter containment;
His selfishness
Construed mental health
Other diagnosis identifying
Step by step opinions, qualifying
Who deems alone a sickness?

ALONE
1/12/26
Written by James Edward Lee Sr. 2026©
Hot hushed hisses sweet nothings drip;
On alabaster skin they land
more ruse than the rough of your hand;
Holding me in an ego trip
you try to squelch me with that grip;
Throughout centuries they have banned
hot hushed hisses;
Fangs that nip at my lower lip
you buckle me I cannot stand;
Those shackles to me? A silk strand;
Baby go on and let ‘er rip,
hot hushed hisses.
EGO TRIP
Me,me my forever sigh-
will insecurity die
in an hedonistic cry ?
Inspired by Will Shakespeare's Threnos tristich form 7:7:7
One blank page,
Thats all it takes.
To spread ink,
Across its face!
One single line,
Scribbled horizontally on the page.
Or vertically,
Just,
To amaze.
One writer to face the challenge,
Of how to put a thought across.
Then it comes,
All of a sudden,
The page is written,
Readers are smitten!
Is this an ego trip?
I think not!
But who am I to talk,
I am such a snot!
Something happens when we accept our own defeat
There's confusion and silence ego trip wakens from sleep
Without knowing we abandon our plan to continue
Justifiably argued grandiose our opinions
Even though there's a part clinging on to the truth
Snuffed with malice deniably wrapped in reproof
We ignore it in spite of the honesty seethed
Bringing shame to toughest of men to their knees
I would offer solutions garner values and proofs
But Noone cares about honor and conviction, they lose
Genuinely said I just wish I could help
Even if I'm rebuked I will forgive you for myself
Funny isn't it? One day we will all be dead
And therefore I can die knowing there was nothing left unsaid....

the ego
vanity of vanity
myself
myself
seen outside
from within
not what
I feel
but what is reflected
of me
a testimony
of what I see
as me
overt not hidden
or
at someone's bidding
surreal
never ideal
unmasked actuelle
truth to tell
self-real
an

really me

time travel trips, microchips
rocketships, ego trip
spaceships dip
satellites orbiting
spyware equip
vanity unfolds, it's become hip
everyone wants small waste and puffy lips
fixated with artificial intelligence
i'm blessed to be guided to decipher Kemetic Science
mathematical equations Five Element of Alchemy
magical concoctions and rituals for spirituality
arm leg leg arm head
give us this day our daily bread
my knowledge continues to spread
scientist looking for the god particle at CERN
it is within, when will they learn
hurricanes flood
the forest burns
gluttony and selfishness, no longer a human concern
perhaps everyone isn't supposed to get the grip
time travel trips, microchips
rocketships, ego trip
spaceships dip
Scientific theory,
modernity’s ego trip
Its pay grade maxed, its mirror cracked
—empirical ellipse
(Dreamsleep: March, 2020)
I shall not envy the upstart's polished gait,
Or wish myself as old knights in diamonds
Hued to bamboozle familiar souls and eye,
Flattered by aping pals and ersatz blondes.
For swanky gait soon in quiet slumbers lies
In darkest gloom beyond men's urging eyes;
Where kowtowing lip trills no ego-oiling tune
To laud vain legs that all wise sense impugn.
Since old knights and their fabled crystals fall
Into gloomy abysms past all plagiarized cheer,
And their wide glows sheer shifting dreams be;
Which deft poet thereon docks his sailing soul?
As for manipulable eyes and souls of fan-stars,
And idol blondes cued to flatter clumsy knights;
Are not both simple wit and truth strictly averse
To all such visionless ego-trip and short-sights?
Give upstart parvenus and 'knights' whole pomp,
I'll claim the simple logic they so mulishly tromp!
A hen behaved very hip
nobody liked her ego trip
Free cruise to Honolulu
Her name is now Lulu
She enjoys life and skinny dip

DO YOU UNDERSTAND?
Do you understand?
Your child will one day be a man.
What he accomplishes will depend
on how well you taught him.
Carefully teach him
what life is,
or he won't know
how to live.
Every child
must know
when to say yes
and when to say no.
Don't be on an ego trip.
Don't be indulgent
or forget
to use sound wisdom
and God's whip.
I know using the rod
is not what our country says to do.
But if you spare the rod,
you'll spoil the child,
and the Bible says
you'll be a fool.

Jesus Wearing Some Sandals
When we saw Jesus wearing His sandals,
Riding bicycle that did have long handles;
Trump lying;
Not buying;
Praying God save us from all the scandals.
And LSMFT. Lord save me from Trump
or Large Smells Means Flush Toilet.

President and Power
Never realized President had so much power,
Is being on a horrible ego trip hour by hour;
Has New York twang;
Hair orange like Tang;
Feels great while taking a Golden shower.
Let me guess. You are married to Hannah
and she has a hard heart and like Trump
not so smart which we knew from the start.

I do wear two faces. My other is:
James Serious Mysterious Horn
Will jump into a gallon of Jimmy Fallon
any day.
Greet change
Browse and look
Meet strange
Read a book
To see
Learn to learn
To be
Just discern
Be true
Don't be fake
Mind cues
Give and take
Your face
Tells your tale
Your place
Garage sales
Impact
Ego trip
Distract
That vain grip
Be kind
Less is more
Noise finds
Empty spores
Be well
Heal the soul
Fond tell
Live love whole

I was transfixed with Chuckie Egg sometimes,
By Harry who was obese but with very thin legs,
Which to me looked too slim for his eating times,
For the size of his rounded stomach of kegs.
Sometimes I gave myself an ego trip on him, it,
B y saying that I was a member of a top family,
Where my dad wanted to upon Billy Graham sit,
And my mum was fundamentalism’s anomaly.
My parents were so high up in strict Christianity,
And I thought they were mobile on nothingness,
So Harry was to me an image of them, familiarity,
As evolution theory gave me emotional happiness.
I sometimes had to tell myself that it was a game,
Not real, because I needed to classify my parents,
For their raving social life, connections and fame,
By believing in Jesus, archaic and my abhorrence.
rarely see brilliant expressions
or poems from the heart
here sad
some master pieces are not
even mentioned
see a lot just born for
contesting and comparing
words for the sake of words
meter rhyme forms artificially
where would they keep all this prices
are they paper gold or just a mention
an ego trip possession accumulation
jeez forgive us please we dont know any better
and they praise each other and pat and hug
even send pre typed messages to the babies
for poems like this
totally stupid
at least be honest
