Read my words and understand each line
Go over them and remember them in time
It will be a surprise to see the real me
Will you understand how it makes me feel free
Looks are deceiving and I know I don’t show it
But deep down inside I have the soul of a poet
Look at my face and see my smile
With pen and paper I can write for quite a while
Rhymes raps poems or a song
It’s just me being me is it right or is it wrong
Looks are deceiving and I know I don’t show it
But deep down inside I have the soul of a poet
Look at my hands dry like a bone
I reveal my art like a sculptor carves in stone
Will you accept me or tear me apart
In every word I write I put in my whole heart
Looks are deceiving and I know I don’t show it
But deep down inside I have the soul of a poet
Look at my eyes and what do they hide
Your average Joe But with a lyricist inside
Look at me ears I get inspired by what I hear
Just love me for who I am is the message totally clear
I worry for the future
disappointed in these power games
those in charge play yet never suture.
They seem to act maliciously
for the populace but for themselves
they alone are all that matter ambitiously.
What of the common man or woman
the average Jane, Jose, Mark and Malik
who struggle everyday just to be citizen most human?
The power mongers say quite bold and loudly
they feel the heartbeat of the masses
while satisfying their wants unashamed and proudly.
Nothing changes
or if it does it has miniscule effect
evaporating in the non-contritional rhetoric.
Republican or Democrat policies assume
they are truly donkeys and elephants
in the senate and congressional rooms.
Alt rights or alt lefts and conservative liberals
lay in the backgrounds shouting and screaming
foul play as if they were pseudo embedded federals.
All the while these decision makers
grow wealthier hiding their greed
and displaying egos as the sole givers and takers.
I have lost faith's blade
in every word each repetitiously and gratuitously speak
and see the coming years as promise lost to the lathe.
I worry for the futures yet to come
the generations left with this foolishness to expunge
how will history record the age of America undone?
but there is more of us.
Pull out ever Tick
Four letters
..nickname of royal prince
….P…..E…..then something ….O
Doh the clue
America seriously I wish we could help
but we have our own Loonies to deal with
What rhymes with finesse
Every lioness
I think I would have been a great God
……well above average
I mean you say you can’t see him
2000 odd years ago all he could burn was a bush
Look at him know
And his son hasn’t left the house since
well we did put nails in him
Does a Jesus wig get made with criss cross hairs
We should start a trend
Guessing which sexual law
By which actor
While the director took a back handed
I would give dogs 10 lives
Ha cats you only have 9
One more word dog and it’s going to single
Dig gits they make me s………..
for at least a mile
What if there is nothing left to fix
My stare can look like a glare
But trust me I might be a wear/where/wer
wolf over there
Watch I ensnare
Arming every bear
Watch the flare
Bboy in the air
Only lacking
the ability
to
care.
Shortcuts are best suited to desktop on the computer,
Not intended for the average commuter.
You will always get cut short, if you try one from a plane,
And shortcuts from a train only ends in pain.
Your stay on a ship may be short, should you slip.
Cars don't normally fly, so don't even try.
One on a bike, could result in quite a hike.
A shortcut while running, is not very cunning.
Walking with a book, may change the way you look.
Shortcuts should not be undertaken by the average builder,
Not even for a guilder.
Any shortcuts with tools, is only for fools.
It could be your loss, if you take shortcuts to please the boss.
Trying them when you cook, will only make you crook.
Shortcuts while cutting up food, may not put you in the mood to eat that food.
And shortcuts when unwell, could find you down a well.
A shortcut when drinking, will set other's hearts to aching.
If you are looking for fun, don't take a shortcut with a gun.
Getting caught short makes shortcut a must, if you don't want to bust.
A shortcut from a map, will see no mishap.
Dogs and large cats in your way, makes a shortcut ok.
Avoiding a fight sometimes necessitates one, even excuses having to run.
Though my best advice, before you hit the wall,
Most shortcuts are no use at all.
Manage your time and your shortcuts will decline.
If reading this has made you late,
I take no responsibility for any shortcut, you care to contemplate.
How easily forgotten those souls
of wars and battles of ten, twenty, sixty years ago,
when lives were given freely in belief and hope
for the dreams of freedom and democracy we spoke.
One more hero falls
added to the list, written on the honor walls
of who and what America still stands for
in promise and endeavor to be greater to our inner core.
The voices now seem to only whisper on the lips
as changes to our ever sought aspirations slip
into a dissention of heart and soul and ideals
that once defined who we were forged in steel.
It is an ever struggle to be vigilant in this sea
of the process to learning how we came to be
the country in which we were free to speak
and rally for the average man's mystique.
But like every nation reigns bestowed
times change, dreams and efforts erode
to steal away the progress made in pain
and erase the names of heroes slain.
Rally round the men and women who do not fold
embrace the dream and promises of old
that all be living open and free in the land
with opportune liberty and democracy at hand.
"You are ... different, aren't you?" she said, crinkling her nose.
That sentiment, spoken by my fourth grade home-room teacher
Had been paraphrased many times before
(And would be countless times again)
Different, unusual, odd, weird, curious, complex, or just plain strange
Those were the kind ones - the ones I can repeat
My favorite, however, was "unique"
The day my mother put it into that sensible little frame, I knew ...
I ... was HOME.
You see, we creative folk
Are not put on this good earth to "fit" into it
We are not molded to be a status quo part of society
But rather, set apart FROM society
Our gifts are granted us in order to change the world
Not continue the order of its mundane spin
We are interpreters of the language of beauty and ingenuity
We weave expression and imagination into what's tangible and visible
Turning ideas and emotions to the substance of words and color and sound
Bringing light and clarity to variation and choice
We are the very children of NON-conformity
Living proof that acquiescence and conventionality stifle the human spirit
We are soldiers of vision, innovation, cleverness, and inspiration
Fighting the war on commonplace, submission and docility
Battling daily in the name of ALL who are unlike the Average Joe
And bringing inspiration to the world.
So, do I think I'm "special"?
Yes, for we are ALL special ... every single human is born with unique gifts
Ours - the artistic talents - just happen to be of a creative fashion.
Yes, I am odd, strange, weird, different, unusual, and unique ...
And I am BLESSED ... to be so.

On the old scale of one to ten
Today has been bout a four
Won't explain, just one of those days
Had 'em many times before
To expect every day to be a ten
You're dreaming, it ain't gonna be
Ups and downs are what life's about
Come down from your perch in a tree
This is it from here on in
Must learn to live through the strife
The alternative ain't too appealing to me
Really it's a very small price
To feel the warmth of a summer's day
The crispness of another fall
The bite of yet another winter's day
Then spring, that's the joy it all
When you really take stock of what life's about
It's getting from “A” to “B”
With the least amount of hassle and strife
Just being happy and free
To raise a family and hope you did it right
While building your own little castle
Living and loving as we travel life's roads
Without too much of a hassle
On the old scale of one to ten
If you can say it was eight or better
You've had a good life, better than average
You've successfully balanced the ledger

They say that the average US member is 160mm long,
don't rush for the tape measure - it might be wrong;
I'm not sure if that applies to the innuit as well,
just because they're a bit short, you never can tell.
Stayed with some friends - they said that it was customary
to sleep with the wife, like a drink, rather complimentary,
I had visions of peeling off seal skins, probably four,
but found out, what looked like less was deffinitely more.
Here comes the joke: What's the difference between
an eskimo and a eunuch? Who invented these things?
One is a frigid midget with a rigid digit and
the other is a massive vassal with a passive tassel.
Footnote: My host asked me how the night was?
I said: 'Er, very nice thank you.' Deffinitely longer here.
I used to be German of true Prussian decent
These days I am European to my content
Travel without passport for thousands of miles
Meet people of all kinds who offer their smiles
Am free to live work and enjoy in 27 countries
Which is how it should be and is rather funky
No customs control no one inspects my trunk
Whether I seem established or look like a punk
Don’t need traveller’s checks or money conversion
Use what little Euros I have on all my excursions
Journeys are user friendly for the average folks
Just think what supreme liberation that invokes
One extra bonus if you want to voyage up to an old age
These days we are not fighting wars and hostile rampage
We may happily live and not die for some sort of madness
Ideology foreign conquest or industrial military apparatus
The EU brought decades of Peace to a once belligerent place
‘No ... Sherlock’ to understand that we are one human race

Never have I been the best storyteller
An average speller
And easy going feller
Shoutout to 'Old Yeller'
Above, below and within any cellar
With or without the use of propellers
In areas considered interstellar
Props to 'The Clan of the Cave Bear'
Concerning everywhere
Realize life isn't always going to be fair
Regardless of if you're a million or billionaire
So keep on climbing to the top of the stairs
Stay aware and prepared
While still enjoying the view from there
Feeling puzzled?
It's no joke read 'The Jungle"
You wouldn't want to slip, stumble and take a tumble
Even if you are overly confident or humble
It took so much dedication, hustle
And muscle
To get through the struggle
As well as any trouble
Respect to 'Where the Wild Things Are'
Even if it was a little different and somewhat bizarre
Whether on foot, plane, bike or car
Keep on reaching far
No matter who you are
Believe that you will become a star
Look
I thoroughly enjoyed all these books
Including 'Life of Pi'
I just can't lie
It's in our best interest to try
Despite if we can't always find out why
Keep living your life, attempting to do right
During any day and night
