           ~Play With Fire Till your Fingers Burn~
                      5/20/2025

Experience life to its full brink,so sad, to witness any human, being had!
Just try to be a mirror of them, it will drive you  uncontrollaby mad!
The world is the jelly bowl, of jellybeans who just all shine and conform.
And yes, they will step on you, if you are not of their norm.
They’ll run from your space, they won’t talk to you!
As if you were an insane specimen from an abnormal zoo!


To be like all the others, is like a living death, all of your days!
Because what you’ve done, is live in fear, and given your precious soul away..
Just write poetry and make love with lif, and play  with fire,vool, .and 
Let your fingers  type with joy,and fully burn.
They shall never experience life on their timid, lifeless, terms.

You might even find yourself, rarely read.
That is a great sign, go bake a loaf of fresh f.aromatic, cinnamon bread!
I don’t want to find anyone being a jelly bean poet!
If you are a real poet, the first thing to do is to write a lot of the
of the invincible you, with immense courage, please do show it!

            Thank you! Outstanding Poets!

Forced Population

In these days and times
Women are not having 
Large family's anymore because
They can't raise their kids properly
Without constant interference
From the laws and unfair rules
As a parent you love your kids
And some are a holy terror
But still why would any person
Go back in time and change
A fifty-year-old law that was
Place there for a valid reason
Like some human's lack of control
Some fathers, date rape drugs etc.,
Taking away a women's right to
Have control of her life, body and future
Is it just to build up the population?
What happen to free will or 
A person's constitutional rights
In the end, It'll be more deaths
Child abuse, overcrowded foster homes
Look at some adults today, it makes
You wonder

Jeopardy and Other Awkard Words

Those who are difficult are always difficult to understand. 
We never know what they mean or wmay ant to mean. 
Confused, confounded and  contagious are words which
adequately describe all of our current times. 
Jeopardy is another significant
Why would you want to put someone else's lif in jeopardy?
What and who gave you to right to do this anyway. 
Only God can truly, honestly answer these questions. 
Amen

When Is Life Best

When is Life best?

nice time when then?

I Am Successful and Belief System In Lif

1.I AM SUCCESSFUL.

I AM SUCCESSFUL 
LEARN TO LIVE IN THE PRESENT 
AND NOT THE PASS 

I AM SUCCESSFUL 
ALWAYS HEADED TOWARD THE FUTURE. 

I AM SUCCESSFUL 
WHAT I CAN BE AND WHAT I CAN DO IS 
THE DETERMINED BY THE DEGREE OF 
OF SELF DETERMINATION I MENTALLY 
IMPOSSES OF MYSELF. 

I AM SUCCESSFUL 
THEENCOURAGING FACT ALL THE 
RESOURCES I HAVE ARE IN MY MIND 
THAT I HAVE WITH IN MYSELF. 

I AM SUCCESSFUL 
TO REALZE I AM CREATEER THAN 
I HAVE EVER CONSIDERED MYSELF TO BE.

Friends Beginning and Ending

Friendships sometimes do takeofff
Remaining friends from year to year
Influenced by love’s stimulI
Ever changes each the other’s life.
Never far away they’ll remainn
Devoted, with your problems fixed,
Survive, remain forever friends.

Just a Help

I don’t want to stand 
On a pedestal, 
But teach me Lord, 
To be humble. 
And if you’ll help 
Me just to stand 
I’ll let you lead, 
And guide my hand. 

To be a help, Lord 
That’s all I ask. 
To see a need arise 
And not hold back.
To go and do
All that I can, 
By lif-ting up
My brothers hand.

Let straight be my steps
In all of your ways.
That I fear not,
Nor be dismayed.
Let my hands work,
Glean in your field.
And all my days,
To your spirit yield.

If Only

The bang of another door shutting
The click of another lock
Trapped in my own mind
Somewhere no one can find
Another lost piece
Of this puzzle that's my heart
In a maze of confusion
Like an illusion
You can be the key to that lock
You can open that door
You are the missing piece
That can complete me
If only you want to.

lIf only you want to
The chaos could lead to a miracle
We could unravel mysteries
That have boggled people’s minds
Everything that seems so far away
All the gems I can’t reach
You could be the magnet
And pull them close
Just like you’re pulling the strings on my heart
And we could together conquer the world
If only you want to.

Woman

We shine bright like the sun that breaks the horizon each morning,
our hearts beat as one with the vibrational energy of the earth, our voice 
sympothises with every hurt. 
 
Through every trial hold our heads up, each day we strive for the better, all
our lif e we emphasise, we change cause we realize that day to day nothing stays the same.

Tears of joy, tears of pain fall from our face, emotionally out of place. The love from our hearts deeply hydrate a dry soul, our touches never feel the same, each one has 
it's own replenishings.

Do things we said we'd never do, sacrafice our life just to please you. Each passing day 
is a new awakening, the joy's of life, we'll soon find, our hearts may bend but never break, stand up straight, wipe the tears from your face, you are beautiful, trust and believe and you'll make it through.

Einherjar

Another harsh Winter we must face
It Matters not, no one can escape Fate
Not Even The Gods
With Bravery we shall Stand Strong
In Care we shall advance onto Vigrid
Fenrir Will Lay dead
By Dawn's Perch

Trim Your Nails, to Prevent Naglfar
It's time to suit up; We Are The Einherjar
Protector's of Ragnorak
The Army of The Gods
The Lovers of Valhalla

All of Midgard will sing
Of our triumph and their Defeat
Sadly all will come, In a twinkling
To An Utter End

Madi, Magni, Sons of Thor
Balder, Hod, Residence of Hel
Lif, Lifthasir, of Yggdrasil
Do us well
Remembrance of our noble deeds
Is all well enough
Sing the Song
We Are The Einherjar

Trapped

Like a cave witch colapsed
or a slave in the trash
breakin his back
to get through...

It's proved; over and over again
that boarders bring morders...
witch hoarders sort through again...

Who am i?
just a studpid guy
with useless time
i'm spiritually bruised inside...


 and trapped.....
Like someone who lost there lif savings in craps...
or a wemon with no ovaries due to crabs..
relax...
we all trapped!

Work

It starts when we are young
crwling
standing
walking
talking
carrying on to school
homework
classwork
graduation
college
moving fast and furious in your lif
apartment
job
marriage
house
family
just vwhen you bthink its about to end
it slaps you in the face once again
if you haven't figured it out
let me go right ahead and give it a shout
     
           "WORK"
