I'm tired of the way the ball always bounces,
and of gaining pounds while only eating ounces,
tired that for every one step forward, there's two steps back,
and that my glass is always half empty because of the crack,
and tired of that poetry teacher ~ who my name perpetually mispronounces.
I don't know about ZOU
but ZE'VE had it up to here
with this pseudo-science sham
So, as of today
When 'What's ZOUR pronoun?' ZEY say
Pronoun Keep-away ZE shall play
Damn white stuff is falling from the heavens again
As long as I'm breathing, I'll be cursed to the end
Had it up to here
My rear to my ears
Waved my wand, a naked weather lady did descend
Perhaps if I take a nap, when I wake it'll be spring
At this point in our Canadian winter I'll try anything
Have had it up to here
Where the sun don't appear
The warmest part of my bod where I still got some zing
Who am I?
Five Haiku
Who are you?
NANA AFRICA
Hearts At Odds
Gingerbread Men
Carry Us Home
Welcome Back
Gilty
Had it up to here
Black coffee
Open all night
Coffee
A Feast for the Welcome
Dog's Day Out
life is a leaf that blows on the breeze
Constipation hell worse than perdition
Wash Away The Grey
STOP!
The World cries out
Your killing me
As you rape my land
And pollute my sea
Wasn't it Gods plan for man
To take care of me
If we try I'm sure we can
Live in harmony
WHY!
The Man cries out
Are you always blaming me
Can't you see the progress I've made
Through my abilities
Why is it you think I am
Your worst enemy
Do you really think you'd be better off
If I packed my bags and leave
WHAT!
The World cries out
Have you gone insane
My life here was pristine
Till you gave your soul away
Look at the mess I'm in
Of course you are to blame
I've had it up to here
With all your silly games
WHOA!
The Man cries out
Let me tell this to you
I've got this little game right here
I like to call the nuke
Believe me I'm not afraid
To use it's full force on you
You need to apologize right now
Before I turn it loose
GO AHEAD!
The World cries out
Why should I even live
When all you want from me
Is what it is that I can give
So give it your best shot, Man
And untie the noose
Let's see who will survive
Your little game of nuke
i should have listened to my gut sooner.
darling, your words are tearing me apart.
i could have thought about my future,
but i just stayed and listened to my heart.
delight! you see me! standing in the shadows.
waiting for this passion to die down. now, you see me!
staring into corners waiting for the monsters to become real.
the remains of you are ghastly. oh they are so dreadful!
giving me the value of something economical.
i have had it up to here with you, sugar!
all you ever do is let me down.
i don't need your half love, lover!
without you around i have no reason to frown!
felicity sneaks up on me and i am bewildered.
finding peace of mind in this bit of stray light.
i've thought about this far too much,
how i've never heard the hill bells ringing.
no i never once heard them at all,
not with you.
there is no telling what the unborn day will bring.
so baby, now i am listening so closely.
i can tell you want to grow your wings.
i can let you go. i'll let you find someone
better suited for you.
my dear, you see the light
and i am still so blue.
had it up to here
he came to steal kill destroy
want to runaway
river of tears flow
destroys on all who believe
who do I go to
can’t run it is me
he who ruins the life of one
give up no option
I believe in you
the prince of peace king of kings
submit to you now
wipe the world away
when I am weak strong I am
trust you provider
Fit of Rage…
Can’t control your conviction
Over the exact order of things
Won’t second guess your emotion
To sacrifice your needs
But then the line is strayed
Your uncharted course
Time after time you scream out
In a fit of rage…
Oh, Oh, Oh, in a fit of rage…
It all seems so simple
To see things the right way
If we’re open to compromise
And mean the things we say
And it seems ridiculous
That certain things must happen
I’ve had it up to here and I’ll scream out
In a fit of rage…
Oh, Oh, Oh, in a fit of rage…
…I try to talk myself into believing how things have to be
Attain the unattainable, constantly achieve
Pushing to be as one, unlike any other…
I’ve got to scream out, in a fit of rage
My eyes are deceiving me, a blind man in a cave
Feeling for an answer, eternal freedom for a slave
Years, I said years of sacrifice and self-inflicted pain
Now, before my eyes a lifetime
It is my hope all was not in vain…
Still time and again I’ll scream out
In a fit of rage…
I've had it up to here
life is so off track
hand me the remote
let's rewind it back
17 years old
I thought my life was hard
Well now I see the difference
'Cause now I am in charge
Companies are screaming
They get right my ear
"Miranda, pay your bills"
Clean your credit dear
Walk in the door
And I fall flat on my face
Toy's from crack to crevice
Completely out of place
Clean up this lovely mess
Get the kiddies off to bed
I try relaxing in the bath
To hear cries of "mama" in my head.

I want to take a bat and swing it to your head… I want you more than dead
My heart for you is cold…
There is nothing left here for you to hold
don’t come around me, when your near all I see is red
And more than anything.. I want you more than dead
What…. you say I’m angry and violent…
Sorry I have to say I disagree..
I would say I’m being rather nice and as polite as can be
You pushed your final push, this is me standing on the edge.
You better back up now, or you’ll find that bat to your head
Because right now more than anything…. I want you more than dead.
I had it up to here with you… this is your fair warning… leave now I’m seeing red
Leave now please I beg of you…. I cant stand the thought of wanting you more than dead…
My love for you use to be so great… you use to please me and love me and now you make
me see red
Now I want you more than dead… your pushing is over.. Me feet are planted my knees are
locked..
My heart is cold… my anger has reached its peek… take this fair warning and leave….
Because right now
I want you more than dead
