Whoa!
Just thrown into the grid.
I just started as a human being.
Words are really hard.
You say them the wrong way people act very differently.
I also notice hunger and being tired often negatively impact your behavior.
I’m growing up pretty fast now, 
Graduating high school. 
I see some sadness in my mom’s eyes.
My Dad’s pride and heart-wrenching direction

The Glitch in the Grid

The telescreens hummed their endless drone, 
A symphony of truth alone, 
Dictated, printed, beamed so wide, 
Where independent thought had died. 
Newspeak choked the rebel tongue, 
And every sunrise sadly sung 
The praises of the watchful eye, 
Beneath a manufactured sky.

For years, the iron fist had held, 
A narrative so tightly spelled, 
That doubt became

Off the Grid

Storm's brewing inside
Idea of being behind
Like a needle in a haystack
You seek, I hide

So-called friends were here
but now, where?
Years of realization,
led to one conclusion

Convenience over you
An option, quite true
Knowing it late 
but hey, no hate

I won't be around
fill the blanks throughout
Using the lid
'cause I'll be off the grid.

Premium MemberOff Grid

It would be amazing to live off grid
Just think no hustle and bustle
No alarm screaming at you
to wake naturally at dawn.

One would settle into new patterns
mainly following the sun hours
labouring for one's self, no boss
to answer to. building your shelter

Getting water to it from higher up
from a clean stream loving the taste
sunlight from solar panels

Just another day of obstructions, heartless
                              souls, lack of communication on a daily. Obstructions

Off the Grid

I will uncover
That which you did
Mute yourself
And go off the grid

Here’s where you keep
Your memento hid
To boost its value
Get off the grid

So you think 
You can beat your taxes
Hunt the landscape
Sharpen your axes
The true survivor
Never relaxes
Nobody ever much did

You backpedalled 
Slipped and slid
Turned tail and ran
Clear off the grid

To your sense of reason 
I make

Premium MemberThe Grid Lock At Los Angles Harbor

Why are the all of the harbors of Western Europe and Asia open twenty-four hours a day? When there are not enough long longshoreman and dock workers at our LA Harbor?

Workers are being paid more money to remain at home and collect unemployment! If our people are hungry they will become desperate! And our enemies

Grid looping form, an enigma 
Polarities divide
Head and heart pure, free of stigma
Thunderous joy inside

Analyse not; enjoy
Free of ego borne ploy
Time not now, to be coy

Benign bliss storm

When Power Grid Fails

Coffers by alliances emptied out
By the same abandoned, security failing
Surprised by nature and by man
Falling Eagle will be caught by Bear

Puffinus Puffinus

Historical crooner, troll-like in burrows

your eerie cries are supernatural.

 

Lacking red, yellow and orange

but you shear the air to make up for it.

 

I walked a few steps around your island once. Got

so tired in a day with sandwiches and pop.

 

Marvelled at your fifty million mile journey

Off the Grid

I never travel anywhere
Without my book at hand
For jotting down my daily poem,
No matter what I’ve planned.

For likely I will have a thought
I must commit to rhyme
And therefore I must be prepared
At any place and time.

My little book must fit inside
The shoulder bag I tote,
Along with sharpened pencils
To preserve the words I note.

I keep an

Off the Grid

I remember things you said
When you upset me
Spreading hate for another
You thought you could win me

Your playful side at times
Seems it’s all an act
Is that the real you
Is that all fact

Knew you from before
Music was the same
Stayed away from you
You played the same game

Trade your breath with others
Seeking all the fame
Bunch of know-it-alls
Now you share

High Rise

Poor folk line the bottom floor
While the educated are in the middle
Because the rich MUST tip the top
So they can condescend to the little

Oh, I'm not being judgmental
I have been up and I have been down
I have been in many positions all around
When I decided to stay on the ground

....floor, and struggle no more

What is

The Grid

A mother of eight
Left to raise them on her own
Damn that man...for dying
And leaving her lost, alone

A soldier of valor
Stood his ground in the face of fear
Now, he is court marshaled
For the lies they wanted to hear

A child hides in a closet
Hearing every thwack of the belt
Fighting the concern welling up
To be experienced, processed, felt

.......no
