I WISH I WEREN’T A BUNNY
by
JOHN M. ARRIBAS
I never wanted to be a bunny, I’m not playing this game
I’d reconsider a puma: a lion with a frightening mane
But that’s not my fate, I’m a bunny, a defenseless toy
Other creatures have fangs, claws; they can deploy
I have no defensive arms for use in personal defense
Why nature created a sitting duck, just makes no sense
My choice would be the fiercest critter ever seen
Yep, you got the picture, the ferocious wolverine
Indian lore says, one could cause a village to vacate
Moving in on his territory was a fatal mistake
He’d come after you, if on horse back or if on foot
He’d destroy your tepees and lodges all gone, kaput
But alas, that’s not me: in spite of what I’d like to be
I’m a bunny with soft fur, that’s something we all can see
I have soft long ears, and a wiggly waggely tail
A cute sniffing nose, my gifted maneuvers never fail
Maybe for you, but doesn’t satisfy my lifelong dream
I’m a ferocious beast inside willing to dominate the scene
Mother nature could have given me more traits to bear
Like those big hind legs and speed she gave to the hare
Or a cotton tail that can avoid danger by simply leaping
I spend the day, daydreaming or silently sleeping
But all in all; the object of my wishes and self esteem
Is to wake up tomorrow in the body of a wolverine
Each day when I open my eyes, it’s the same old story
My status hasn’t changed, I’m the example of lonely
When I first arrived every body came over to see me
I was the new thing on the block a real live novelty
But as time progressed visitors were fewer in number
Reducing my activities to intermittent slumber
Bunny (2)
I can’t complain I have fresh vegetables every day
And usually some company, if the kids decide to play
But I’m a one man show unable to live up to my reputation
As a prolific contributor in expanding the population
Each night I pray when I wake a willing doe will appear
I know she is somewhere but unfortunately, not here
In a dream the other night, I was lightening quick
Instead of hippity n hopping, I was lickety split
Those wishes that constantly flood my senses
Doused by the existence of surrounding fences
I’ll just have to accept my lot, be docile, not mean
But between you and I, I’d rather be a wolverine
Once upon a time there was a hopeless man, and all that he wanted was for someone to truly understand
He wanted to help in the only way that he knew how, and so he started his quest so that he could eventually take his bow
He promised to heal a broken heart with his love so true, he offered the naïve girl a solution to all that she had been through
He told her that he had the cure that all that she had to do was believe, and that he could change her life and be her everything
In turn she promised to love him and show him love like he never knew, but in the end due to his decisions she was unable to
He did everything right saying all the right things that she needed to hear, he held her when she cried and wiped away her tears
He told her that she was magical that she couldn’t be real, that he had looked for her his whole life and that now he is able to feel
He held her in his arms and told her his love was true, he said there would never be another that “my heart belongs to only you”
He said that he wanted to be with her until the end of time, but someone must have sped up the ending because you’re no longer mine
You reneged on your promises although you had said you would always stay, but in the end, I was the helper not you I helped you find your way
You took away my heartache, but you also brought me more than I can bare, now I am the hopeless one living in despair
You played your beautiful hopeless music for me that I heard through your heart, and now I have no one to dance with now that we’re apart
I want to come after you I want my revenge for the way that you hurt me, but I will continue hoping and dreaming that you’ll return to me
You half way gave me what you promised that you would, but you didn’t finish what you started although I wished that you could
So now the story is closing, and this is sadly goodbye, you can go ahead and take that bow now while I sit back and cry
I called you the hopeless helper because that is what I perceive, you wanted to believe in hope and help restore me
But in the end, I’m the hopeless one hanging on to these false dreams, and I’m the one that helped you crush my heart and rip it apart from the seams.
This poem is from my book titled Fairytales of Broken Dreams available on Amazon and Kindle. My pen name is Amanda Carroll Kinzer
My spirit is locked in a conversation with my soul and my heart is crying out for more, you have stretched me to the limit just to see if I am fit, but I kept going to expose my stamina and my internal strengths . You have defamed my character with an age-old propaganda calling me crazy and mad and this accusation really makes me feel sad.
You have gone above and beyond to steal the joy out of my hand and when you are done you gathered with your friends and cronies to have a celebrative party, mocking my human dignity; and gossiping about me. You kneel in front of the cross every Sunday with silent words dripping from your lips.
I can sense the hypocrisy around you, and witness the devil blowing its breath all over you and when you speak the earth groans at the bitter words coming from your trembling lips.
You have been doing this for years, defying the rules, crossing border, hacking my phone and spreading my information all over the town. Your objectives are not clear and you are sending negative energy everywhere. I want to tell you the truth, take your baggage and get off my name or you are going to go insane.
They will come after you and shake you with all that they have got, and when they are done with you, they will leave you walking without shoe.
The conscripts are on a special assignment and plan to march you up to heaven; they will knead you out on the ground and fire shots in the air and leave you lying there cold and bare .
You work for you and your group but I work for the entire troop in the universe it is positioned at the four corners of the sea where the earth joins it to me and he.
I have been waiting here for a while watching you insulting my indigenous pride, filling the air with smoke, canceling hundreds of flights and sending out notices about unruly passengers.
You are the unruly brat and you have been stealing all that we have got, and when it’s time for us to have some fun your are running around with threats and gun oh what hypocrisy
My Adrenalin is boiling and my spirit is swelling and the sun is burning at a hundred and ten degree, there is a part of me that you have not seen but I will show you when you safely cross the sea, when the temperature cools and my dust is settled destiny will take you on an unforgettable ride.
The stars reached back
Each night
When I prayed that I would wake up and the pain would be over
And that everything everyone had ever said to me
And every name they had ever called me
Was all a bad dream
The worst, shittiest nightmare of a dream
That never ended
No matter how many times I fell asleep
Because sleep was my escape
But escapes don’t last forever
And dreams don’t last forever
But nightmares can last forever
But, no matter what, I can’t help you
You miserable excuse for a friend
You ruined what I was
You hardened the face that once smiled
The face that used to light up a room
Had been hardened to stone by a society
That believed that “gay” was synonymous with “weird”
And that “bully” was synonymous with “joke”
But the fact is you were the joke
The joke that kept replaying in my head
And laughing at me
Even after the jokes had stopped the joke kept going
The joke was me; I was a joke to everyone, even myself
And my dad would joke that I should man up
And my mom would joke that the other kids were insecure
And my brother would joke that he made it through
And everyone else would joke that “boys will be boys”
But I didn't see the joke in any of it
There was no joke in my tears
And there was no joke in the forty pounds I lost when I stopped eating
You just can’t get enough of the pain
But your pain doesn’t have to be my pain
So, so what if boys aren’t supposed to cut themselves?
And so what if boys aren’t supposed to cry?
And so what if boys aren’t supposed to be the ones who become anorexic?
I’m a boy and I did it all
And what can you say about yourself?
You’re a sad excuse for a boy
So put away the guns and fists
And pick up a pen and a paper
And figure yourself out
Before you tear someone else down to their foundation
And let the rain ruin their ability to stand themselves
And I think
That the healing came
When I realized that someday you would be on the bottom
And someone would tear you down
And you would sit there as the rain poured in
And you would drown in your regret
And I would still send out a life jacket for you
Because you ruined the outside smile
But you didn’t ruin the inside faith
And the faith got me through
Because tomorrow is brighter
And the sunshine does come after the rain
Benjamin Franklin said
“but in this world nothing
can be said to be certain,
except death and taxes.”
Paying tax may be painful
Yet our death is the singular
Most feared eventuality.
For us all, we know from birth
We will, at some point, reach the end.
So many say clichés,
Don’t waste time
Not a rehearsal
No pockets in a shroud
YOLO.
All true, yet what I fear
More than my demise,
The final breath,
The end of existence,
Is the fact I will be forgotten.
I will be mourned, I guess,
Never a certainty.
I will be missed,
In whatever measure.
My children will grieve.
The loss of a parent at any age,
Disruption, normality smashed.
The day after a fatality,
Of an elder, parent,
The first day in this earth without them.
Raw.
But time passes,
Grieve eases,
Mourning peters out
And life continues for those
Still residing on this mortal coil.
The fact I will be forgotten.
A day to day memory
Becomes weekly, monthly
Annually on special anniversaries.
In time those who dwelt
Along side me in this plane
Will join me on the other side.
In the realm where we know not
What happened until we get there.
If anything.
The ultimate unknown.
My name once dropped in conversation
Tense changing from present to past
Then distant memory.
Then what?
I fear one day I will
No longer echo in the mouth
Skip from the lips
Of those who knew me in life.
They too will become a distant memory
for those who dwelt and walked with them.
I cannot change how
Others will choose to
Remember me when I am gone.
Yet to pay it forward
With a wing and a prayer
I choose to remember those
Who walked before me.
I did not know them
Yet as I move through
The graveyards and cemeteries
Scattered on this land,
I speak forth, out loud
The names of those who
Dwell in the next world.
Allowing their names to
Echo in my mouth
Skip from my lips.
Bringing back the energy lost
To time and space,
Since their last breath was drawn.
Young and old, man and woman,
Child and criminal, saint and sinner.
All of us leave our stretch,
Square with the house.
So speak forth the names
Of those who shaped our world,
Bore our ancestors and
Hope your name is uttered
By Generations to come,
by those who come after.
Were slowly opening back up
Following the phases
Keeping to the rules
Taking it a step at a time.
But once the gates open
A stampede of bulls
Crashes through toward the field
Ready to frolic and merry
Like nothing ever happen.
Just because some freedoms
Have been restored now
Doesn't mean things
Aren't normal just yet.
But there you all
Your throwing giant parties
Your grouping together
At the beaches.
Your eating at joints
Your standing in lines
Your going on rides
Without being six feet apart.
You think now that
Its returning to normal
That there's nothing to worry
No virus to come after you?
Think again Dickweeds!
Your going too fast!
Your rushing things too soon!
Your brushing this off
Like it was dandruff!
Just because the country
Is slowly opening back up
Step by step at a time
Your going full tilt
Like its a marathon!
Your not looking
What's ahead of you
Not seeing the trap
That your gonna fall into!
You don't know
Of the domino effect
That you just set off!
You don't know
Whats to come
From your actions!
You think your invincible?
You think your so tough?
You think your bullet proof?
You think your not gonna get it?
THINK AGAIN Dick Weeds!
Your actions have consequences
Your foolishness will lead to new cases
Your dumbassery will sicken your loved ones!
Your selfishness will bring death around you!
Sure you've been cooped up inside
But rushing out right away
And hitting the bars
Ignoring the rules
Is inconsiderate!
What if your parents get it!?
What if your kids get it!?
What if your grandparents get it!?
Then what are you gonna do!?
You'll mourn and cry
Coming to terms
Upon what you've done
When you lose the ones you love.
So don't be such dick weeds
Take it step by step
I can't tell you what to believe
I can't tell you what to do
You gotta figure that one out
On your own to find your own way.
Only you can make a change
Only you can make it better
Only you can regain your senses
Only you can open your eyes
To the very truth that lays
Before your very being.
So don't be dickweeds
Try to be something better
Otherwise you'll kill
The Garden of Humanity
Until its nothing, but a barren
Wasteland of despair.

Key Verse – Mark 1:1 The beginning of the gospel of Jesus Christ, the Son of God
LORD GOD, YOU ARE MY LIFE’S BEGINNING
Lord God, You are my life’s Beginning,

How wonderful is Your forgiveness for my sins which You did say
By Your blood’s power to allow me in Your kingdom to stay.
Lord God, You are my life’s Beginning,
and You invited me to come after You willingly
Thank You for Your love, moving me to follow You obediently
How great is Your authority for my servanthood undoubtedly
By Your sovereignty’s leadership to make me labour for You wholeheartedly.
Lord God, You are my life’s Beginning,

Thank You for Your mercy, enabling me to depart from wickedness
How amazing is Your compassion that touches my brokenness
By Your holiness cleansing me from filthiness of worldliness.
Lord God, You are my life’s Beginning,

Lord God, You are my life’s Beginning,
and You surnamed me as Your child
Thank You for Your adoption, laying hold on me from being hell-defiled
How firm is Your strength that defeats my condemnation state, so wild
By Your care to establish me in Your will, and within be freely exiled.
September 14, 2023
In spite of the choice that I made to be wed
The call of the sea was the voice in my head
The wreck of a ship that I bought on a dare
Was ripe for a trip with a little repair
I gathered a crew from the worst of the lot
The pirates I knew in the way I was taught
A bunch of old sailors who fought with a sword
In search of a ship and a captain aboard
We packed a few things and the men were alright
To fish on the strings of the stars overnight
The King's Royal Navy was somewhere in port
And we were the kind who they hunted for sport
The evening was cool with a touch of the breeze
Which filled up our sails and pushed us with ease
No ships were in sight as we set our own course
To conquer the night with the lightest of force
Then one of the men who I thought was the best
Was searching the sea from the top of his nest
When suddenly something he knew that we feared
Was captured by him in the flag that appeared
He knew that our ship was designed as a hoax
For scaring young sailors and female folks
He called to his mates who were cautiously sick
To think that the Navy was on to our trick
The wind in our sails was hardly a storm
And somewhere the fog was beginning to form
The danger we sighted decreased in the mist
Perhaps they decided to cease and desist
But just when the danger was seemingly past
The King's Royal Navy appeared with a blast
They fired their cannons and blew us to bits
My ship was disabled by too many hits
I thought to surrender by all that I saw
But why was the Admiral so quick on the draw?
And what was the purpose in jailing my crew
When they were just sailing with nothing to do?
We stood by and watched as the Navy approached
I felt like an egg that was already poached
When something upsetting appeared in my scope
That caused me to cry and to give up my hope
The devil's own daughter who did as she willed
Was holding the head of the man that she killed
She captured his ship and the hearts of his men
To come after me and to kill me again
But when she was near with the navy in tow
To capture my ship and to lay me a blow
She did not foresee what so few can survive
My good friend the whale had swallowed her live!
God calls you to follow Him first
nothing less is acceptable to be His disciple
no one can come to Jesus except He be first
for this is commanded in the Holy Bible
Imagine you intend to build a tower
would you not first be sure to count the cost
so to be correct with the finished article
unless it's so you'll not be a future host
Begin with your creation be sure to finish
but if not you will undoubtedly fail
like a king preparing for a battle
no matter your army don't end up in jail
To be Jesus's disciple nothing comes before Him
for it must be Jesus only and nothing else
stick closer to the saviour more than any brother
hold always to God's truth more even than yourself
Keep your ears open always to God
listen to that still clear small voice
nothing else will matter in all eternity
walk always His way which is never broad
Follow follow the Lord to the end
string your bow with your pointed arrow
certain to hit always the centre point
as you walk GOd's way direct and narrow
(Luke 14: 26-35)
If any man come to me, and hate not his father, and mother, and wife, and children, and brethren, and sisters, yea, and his own life also, he cannot be my disciple.
And whosoever doth not bear his cross, and come after me, cannot be my disciple.
For which of you, intending to build a tower, sitteth not down first, and counteth the cost, whether he have sufficient to finish it?
Lest haply, after he hath laid the foundation, and is not able to finish it, all that behold it begin to mock him,
Saying, This man began to build, and was not able to finish.
Or what king, going to make war against another king, sitteth not down first, and consulteth whether he be able with ten thousand to meet him that cometh against him with twenty thousand?
Or else, while the other is yet a great way off, he sendeth an ambassage, and desireth conditions of peace.
So likewise, whosoever he be of you that forsaketh not all that he hath, he cannot be my disciple.
Salt is good: but if the salt have lost his savour, wherewith shall it be seasoned?
It is neither fit for the land, nor yet for the dunghill; but men cast it out. He that hath ears to hear, let him hear.
I see you got expensive shoes,
But you couldn't pay someone to screw you.
You walk around all day thinking you're hot as fondu.
Yeah, you got cheese,
And you think that makes you an OG.
Well, let us just see.
Yeah, we'll put that to the test.
You think that you're the best,
But you ain't got enough to put together a mess
Of words to make me feel less
like a man. When I'm done, you're gonna guess
At where you went wrong
Because this is a fighting song.
This verse ain't short, it's long
Because I'm going to rip you apart like I did your mom
Last night with my massive...
I'm blasting through this battle.
I'm amassing nukes.
I'm everlasting, dude.
You ain't got what it takes to be passing, fool.
I'm a master, you
Are just a massive douche.
I'm gassing you.
You ain't gonna be able to pick it up before I come after you.
You'll feel like half a dude.
I've got a magic spool
Of yarn that keeps flowing
Like my words to make you realize I'm glowing
with power.
This is my hour.
I'm going to shower
You with disses like my granny waters a flower.
It's just gonna keep coming.
I'm running through and busting you
Like I'm cutting you and bussing through
I'm gonna be slapping you silly.
This ain't no willy nilly, speaking like a hill-billy.
"I ain't got nuttin 'a say"
What's wrong with your brain
You should have known it was a mistake
To go up against someone as messed up and insane
As me.
I'm king of the ring.
Your girl was a one night thing.
Just a quick fling.
Almost done now,
But before I dip I'm going to go to town
On you so that you make sure to stay off my ground.
Yeah, I'm going to make you bow down
With this final roast.
I don't mean to boast,
But you can't bring enough heat to toast
Me, let alone host
these competitions. But don't give it to me.
Once I'm done with the beat,
You better know I'm gone like a ghost.
I'm on the Friends with Benefits level with your sister.
Your cousin calls me her mister.
Yo auntie wants me to fist her.
And now your bestie told me she got blisters.
I told you I was gonna make you wish ya
Had never stepped to me.
I'm the best, ya see.
This battle had cost you and the next ain't free.
