I’m a free spirit rising
a freethinker dreaming
Stoically climbing
the surreal limbo bar,
But I don’t know why
i’m no bright spark
for split seconds on fire
lighting up the dark
Yet we have one
with burning aspirations
peers into his own sky
it goes over most heads
Just like mother earth
oh that monster
who never shared a bed
Unresurrected yet alive
drones from a hive
uniformity in his wardrobe
reminds me of
a Gucci slave
in fox fur skin
self imposed virgin
His yellow ribbon tie,
symbolic of no hope
tourniquet for the throat
leers around corners
peers over the edge
paranoid with multifaceted sides
seen through opaque eyes
equals the root of Pi r squared
be careful not to stare
Does his hell refuse lepers
can I comment
without being masked
stop me spreading gossip
through questions I ask,
Searching for answers
or setting traps
they come thick and fast
But like always
with many gaps
Cast out of Eden
for the beef he’s eaten
an iPhone heathen
Doesn’t know when beaten
perhaps tofu can sweeten
the Shakespearian cretin

So nice talking to people, on same frequency as me
Builds up my confidence, whilst decreasing insanity
Sometimes feel I’m the only one, seeking out truths
Then I meet some kindred spirits, here on the soup
They come from all walks of life, different countries
Northern hemisphere and one below, I’ve yet to see
We hold similar outlooks, based on past difficulties
Seem to understand each other, through our poetry
Sharing dark secrets, releasing pent up adversity
But most of the time, encouraging helpful fantasy
We inspire crazy poems, bouncing off each other
Not copying, creating, following tangents to discover
Are we friends, I guess we are, certainty not enemies
Honestly doesn’t matter, when enjoying good company
Aw he’s filling up, no just finishing yesterday’s dinner
I’m a freethinker, a rogue-poet of sorts, yeah a sinner.

Dear followers, bandwagon and otherwise. The time is upon us that dissenters have started questioning my credibility. Being a freethinker and one who values evidence, logic, and reason, I assure you, my credibility is intact. Although, I sometimes do not prove my credibility through traditional means. Take, for example, MLA. The only format I’ve written in. But, alas, problems with style and format present themselves…
I do not constrictions of MLA, or any standardized system. those Grammar Nazis, and their Luftwaffe of subordinate clauses. I wanna do things how I wanna do them. I’m not taking credit for anything that isn’t mine. I give credit where credit is due; game recognize game. But don’t make me jump through hoops and all sorts of convoluted bull. My credibility should not be questioned, but rather, your archaic system should.

The car must become a freethinker
Case someone it might greatly injure
It clearly must steer
And brake and change gear
And give other bad drivers the finger

I believe in miracles
In the same way 7 billion people believes in miracle
Minus a few atheist and freethinker from here to there
Roughly speaking
But I don’t look for miracles like every single one of them do
Why would I have to?
When there are practically millions of them being born every second
And every day there is always something new
Like opening gifts on Christmas morning
Breathe and you already found one
Wake up! Poof! You just found another
Fall in love and that’s the best miracle of all
Fall in love again and the best just gets even better
Miracles are all around us
More so, flowing inside our own soul
In truth; we are all miracles for one another
Angels, disguise as friends
Friends more like brothers
Brothers with sisters at arms
Sons and daughters of the Holy Ghost

She's not a freethinker do not know an illusion
Of dreams nothing to bear
Hid herself from the image of Narcissus will
And bears thine name
Those shoddy look wasn't happy and yet unfair
For let me pour a thing and heaves those groan of despair
A trilogy of unwanted character plays no fear
Acceptance, revenge, delude she made clear
For Hera's word exhorting her to fight
So the muse of epic poetry-they call her Calliope at night
She herself couldn't surrender the concession of LOVE
For thous't vowel the O and E,
Consonants of L and V triggers her to feel
The abstract of battle
Maybe she's a freethinker.
Over the rough road of ignorance
Decried the message of thou commit ones
Oh! her hope in life exceeds for the existence of long time ago
Of by the genus fressia
Of by the dogma of living
Now she stood up and speak with freelance in the tongues of men
And march by the beat of upliftment
A freethinker now she knows and never dream again.
