Long Boz Poems

Fifty years, boy and man, I’ve been a Sooners fan;
And watched thousands of recruits try to make my Sooners Team.
Often, I’ve enviously wondered what it must be like
To be a touted Sooners recruit, living out...

When someone gives me a penny for my thoughts
They end up putting their two cents in
Because by then they are actually caught
Deep in the intense, immense conversation
How would you handle my situation?
Better be firm when...

filled with the years of a love lost
..and of the cost
they have shed as i have bled
-- left scarred with wounds that never heal --
the kind of stuff that stays in your head

Over-power the masses single-handedly
One against many, against any calamity
Exhaust a man's will
To bend at his own
So what if it kills (him)
--The man has no soul--
Grew stronger by the day
Fueled by love and hate
A ruler and...

Set forth a task at hand
Meant for no one to understand
Dominate this God forsaken place
Yield the power of steel
-- Wield the master plan --
I'll be damned
If you take this land
From within my grasp

I’ve been good, I’ve been bad
Both Holy and Evil
-- I am man –
An angel in denial
My life I have defiled
The road to redemption
I will end, still on trial
Not for my sins
But for those who still...

(Cont. My World pt.1)

Have you heard enough? Still think you’re tough?
I’ll stare right through you and call your bluff
See, you’ll never have the upper hand
When dealing this hand
Understand little man?
Do yourself a favor
Go savor the...

Our time will be severed and then re-aligned

But to only reveal a clue

Opening of the gates
The non-existent waits
To judge your mortal fate
Among the human race

What’s the matter now?
Can you even tell?
When you dwell in evil
The devil sends a messenger from hell
--From hell…

Live your life the way you...

(In memory of 9 -11)

So you say
You’re here to stay
In the land of the free
The home of the brave
Take a look at the face
Of your enemy
--- He waits

Look all around
From the sky to the ground
But...

Trials of man since the days of old
On common ground treachery would unfold
Lives are sold
Lives are lost
For the price of gold
Or whatever the cost
But the cost is more than you can bear, for one
Because your...

I can take more than you can dish out
Charge me full-bore
And see what I’m talking about
Find yourself head first in the ground
Without a sound
Not even a peep
From the weak surrounding me
Strength is my only option...

Living in a world
That’s destined to die
Dying in a world
That wants to survive
Ignoring problems people put aside
Just seems to be the nature of mankind

Taken for granted that our eyes can see
We do not look at...

The summer scene
So blissful and serene

A bright sun shines
Over baby-blue skies
Upon a mountainous view
Bringing pleasure to my eyes

It’s great to be alive!
Breathe in the air
Feel a surge inside
As it flows through

Something beyond compare
There is no...

The mystical journey begins
Not from out here, but within
Try hard to avoid seven sins
And obey Ten Commandments

Easier said than done
There’s nowhere left to run
Know what needs to be done
Set the example 1st born son

Staring back at himself, what does he see?
Ten years gone, a vivid memory
The old, “lonely man” is banging at his door
Doesn’t want to accept it
Doesn’t want to hear it anymore

He will rise above, above the...

We’re bait.
Bait for the beasts
Waiting to feast on the meat
To say the least
The world is stripped when they meet

So bathe
In social incest, along with decadence
And decay

Pray to your gods
Whichever they may be
Many are among us
We’re...

Somewhere down the line
Eventually in time
The black sun shines
Its brightest darkness
On all of existence
Every soul is put to test
So be at your best
Or end up like the rest

Never try to second-guess
The nature of what it...

A stitch in time
A crack in reality
In search of a door
That cannot be seen

The naked eye alone is useless for this task
So before the door we must first look back

Search for the “All-Seeing-Eye”, I was...

Since we are born as sinners,
We will die as sinners.
Our destiny has already been foretold.
What sins will you carry?
And take to your grave
When it’s time to leave this world?
The cause of death will be from...

So there I go…
Searching for a new life
And yet, another soul

God only knows
What I’ve been through
And what will unfold

The bitter-sweet memories of old
When words are worthless
And actions seem...
