DECONSTRUCTING  Major League Baseball 

When will MLB fans acknowledge  
and question the REAL Cheating 
taking  place right under their noses.

The Pitch Clock
The Pitch Count
THE CLOSER
The Netting 
The Expansion 
THE PHANTOM BASE RUNNER
The Biggest Form of Cheating?
THE TINY LITTLE BALLPARKS.

A 14 year old Mark Mcgwire could 
clear the fence, LEFT HANDED
Eddie Murray would have 500 Home Runs , 
FROM BOTH SIDES OF THE PLATE.
Mickey Mantle would be a Member 
of the 1000 HOME RUN CLUB
LEGENDARY HANK AARON would be a Member 
of the 1500 HOME RUN CLUB.

Why not give anyone and everyone 
who makes it to The Big Show a 6ft solid gold trophy  
for participating in Major League Baseball. 

Let's not forget how MLB cheated  Atlanta 
out of the ALL Star Game.
Or cheated the Fans out of seeing their ALL Stars 
by wearing those Diversified  Equity Inclusion Uniforms.

However, we just might see another 500 Career game winner. 
When they shorten the game to 7 innings. 
Requiring only 3 complete innings 
to qualify  for a win.

We just might see another 5000 strike pitcher ,
when MLB goes to Artificial Inntelligence 
and expand the strikeout zone from toe to chin.

INSTEAD , how about we celebrate  what was accomplished before the Insanity of Y2K. 

Not the 420 ft Monster HOME RUN ,
and totally forget that straight away 
Centerfield Tiger Stadium was 440 ft.

Not the 200 Strike Out Season knowing , 
the record is 383.

Not the 15 game win season knowing 
The last 30 game win season 
was more than  50 years ago

My real REAL question is...
Is MLB complicit in destroying the game of baseball ?
Are the people at the top , involved with Big Government and DEI infected Corporations trying  to destroy the memories and  Legends who established MonuMENTAL feats. 
Emphasis on mental. 
Is this what build back better is all about?

Premium Member Instinctive

a cool breeze
caressing my skin
and then
she plummets into her own mind
deep
deep.. within
digging up old demons
devils who tried to denounce her destiny
friends she took in 
as daughters
she demonstrated her dainty and her delicate ways
she has her ways
ways that are no longer destroying her
this dandelion is free
but.. this cool breeze
she made sure she kept some distance from her mind
something new caressing her skin
her dare-devil, melanin mixed with magic skin
skin cut and bruised with fake smiles pinned some where near her jaw line
skin
mysterious and intriguing and glittery skin
but.. this cool breeze
a breeze that penetrates everything beautiful
a free fall of the mind
her safe landing (for my sake)


all instinctive..

I Created a Poem

I created a poem last night in my sleep
can’t remember the words right now
It was a true masterpiece, powerful and deep
that brought peace to the world somehow

But now that the morning sunshine has filled my eyes
and washed away that perfect rhyme
There’s nothing left for me now but to hope and pray
that I’ll write it again sometime

It’s like that tree in Brazil filled with red spiders
whose web held the cure for cancer
But they were all killed from destroying the forest
we forever lost that answer

Maybe that was just a dream too, I don’t recall
So forget about what I said
There’re so many thoughts rolling around in my mind
It’s hard to keep them straight in my head

Small

Never let anyone make you feel small. Stay strong and courageous. You are worthy of love and kindness. 

Memories from 2020:
New poem... small. 
Some people are awful examples of humanity. They persist in remaining unrelenting bullies and power hungry control freaks... Destroying people, lives and careers when and where they can... Just because they can. But every action comes at a cost. They eventually pay the price in full. 

small
By Michelle Morris
07/06/2020

you tried to make
me feel so
small
insignificant
worthless
to all

because you
hated yourself
so deeply 
my pureness
of heart and
spirit 
cut into your
darkness
completely 

but instead of
learning
embracing
being kind
you wanted me
gone
completely
out of sight
out of mind

so you could
forever remain
small in
yourself
but delude the
world
that you were
larger than life

and karma she is a
gracious b****
who burns the 
wickedly
darkened twists

and someday
burning in
hell fire you'll be
wishing you'd been
better
kinder to me

Premium Member Jab To Chip

Your are under arrest
in your house  
your concentration camp
quiet
before for being unmasked 
get fined.
You have no rights 
to buy, sell or travel 
without hand or forehead 
being jabbed
in preparation 
for microchip ahead.
Can't buy bread? Starve 
with the little mouths
you allowed to live
they could have been 
used in vaccines.
You are not to visit 
friends, family
or enemies
in nursing homes 
or hospital beds
dying 
to be disposed of 
quietly.
You are not to go to school
knowledge is dangerous
infecting brain to brain
to rioting dissent!
Let the screen be your teacher
and Alexa your friend.
You are not to go to parties
or indoor movies
alone get drunk 
and watch your ***** 
and blood at home.
You are to be vaccinated
enemy of all that is progress
who gave you the audacity 
to question vaccines'
safety and efficacy
with elderly and terminally ill 
dying from Covid-19?
Unapproved, obsolete
what’s that to us?
Give to Caesar money
to science your body
and to 666 your hand 
to be microchipped
if you want medicine
travel or be fed.
Gagged, tied, mesmerized
fear turns hearts to ice
but a remnant keeps shining
God’s charity
feeding hungry 
hugging lonesome
praying in private 
and in public 
for a self destroying 
faithless humanity
heading to depopulation.
Fed by heaven
sealed on the forehead 
with the cross of salvation
chosen to be preserved 
to start a new world
of love, peace and joy
with Jesus Christ as King
in an environment of beauty
health and energy
as it was meant to be
with foods that nourish 
herbs that heal
joy of family life
in villages 
full of boys and girls
running with health.
The remnant could be you.
Lord Jesus come
hurry do not delay
Thy Kingdom come.


Premium Member Heat of the Heartbeat


My dearest love, apple of my eye,
 A silent, pulsing flame fervently flares
In the crazy chamber of my chest,
Whispering  a warm wafting acclaim
That sets my life to trying tiresome tests.

 BURN ME WITH YOUR LOVE POISON 
 Still the hot heat of my inner fire will glow,
 Spreading beyond my skin's confine,
 Lifting my shabby sorrowful self 
To a constant cosy cadence.

IN THE MISTS OF YOUR EYES 
Shines the glow of my breast in flames,
My heart, a hearth of hidden fire,
Responds to your unspoken wishes
 Stirs and wakes, a steady flow,
A love that only glitters for you.

Within that depth, a real mirror, 
I see my spirit shining steadily,
A burning ember, pure and bright,
That banishes the darkest gloom,
Whether of pitch night or cloudy day.  

Though you may fly to distant lands 
Or ascend to celestial heaven,
I WILL FIND YOU BEYOND THE STARS;
The span of stellar space will not be a hurdle
As my heart carries dreams and hopes
 That softly bloom and memories that linger, 
Sweet and deep, across time and space 
Banishing doubts, darkness and distance. 

Across the vast expanse of seas
I’ll seek you in the  distant oceans;
My spirit will be my guiding rudder,
Each wave, a clue to where you may lie
As this fiery passion burns bright,
Guiding my way through darkness;
I will reach up to you wherever you are
WHERE THE SKY DRIFTS INTO THE SEA,
At the ever-receding horizon.

Marvelled by the mists of your eyes,
LEASED TO YOUR DUSK,
Our fate is knottily woven with each other,
Our souls entwined with one another.

So let us listen, to this balmy bright beat,
This reassuring rhythm, born of flesh and soul,
The heartbeat's hot heat, a promise to be kept
That makes our fractured being as one
A vibrant vow, a whisper of the breeze
That life goes on, despite the flitting years,
A beacon burning, ever strong and bright,
Dispelling darkness, destroying dangling doubts.

Why They Cancel, Part Ii

...But worst is the true believers,
the ones who buy into this crap,
who spend their days lurking online,
just seeking a place to attack.
Not working, being productive,
and not thinking with any depth,
looking out for some ‘-istaphobe’
that they can harass until death.
Seeking the slightest odd remark,
or some strange off-color comment,
then making it some huge problem,
declaring loud, ‘That this must end!’
Trying to get people fired,
or pushing them to suicide,
calling them all the worst of names,
and whipping up an online tide.
Worst of all they think that they’re good,
that cancelling is a moral act,
can’t see their own intolerance,
that what they claim they have, they lack.
But normal people don’t do this,
don’t live to bring others such pain,
so why is it that they cancel?
What is going on in their brain?
The cold truth, they all get a buzz
when they see a person torn up,
there is so little in their lives
that they could be proud of, or love,
but all people want to feel great,
it’s written in our DNA,
and since some will not work for it
then they must find another way.
When they see that person cancelled,
when that hit of power comes in,
they feel good, feel like they matter,
that somehow they’ve gotten a win.
But destroying lives is evil,
so they lie on what’s wrong or right,
they tell themselves that what they do
will somehow lead them to the light,
the old ‘right side of history,’
utopia that never comes,
if they can help us ‘progress’ there
then who cares what happens to one?
Breaking eggs to make an omelet,
doing things they cannot take back,
‘saving the world’ while getting their buzz,
what ego would dare give up that?
And so they keep on canceling,
their ego searching the next hit,
some folks still ask why they do this,
they’re evil because they like it.

Cut them out of your life.

It's Okay

Long days , restless nights.
Exhausted mind , unresolved fights.
Life is nearing destruction,
suddenly everywhere there is paucity of emotions.

Smirk and laughter on mobile screen,
the pain behind the happy faces is unseen.
Loneliness is spreading like a viral disease,
destroying mental health with ease.

We need a loving hand ,
to free us from this mental cage.
To help us get through this tough time,
to let us know crying for help is not a crime.

Eyes are full of tears and body is writhing in pain.
Is something wrong with me or am I going insane.
Everybody around looks alright.
Nobody says anything but the instagram posts are all bright.
We are all living a lie,
We smile and laugh but we just really want to cry.

Scream and yell.
For once in your life do something and don't dwell.
Cry if it makes you happy.
Scream if you want to assauge your pain.
Show some real emotions please don't refrain.
Ask help if you need.
You are important you will succeed.
Don't doubt yourself for feeling this way.
We are all in this together my love 
IT'S OKAY.

Premium Member Goosebumps

Here I am,
sitting at my desk watching an old 
romantic comedy on my computer, 
the kind of thing I wouldn’t have been 
caught dead watching in my youth.

The height of uncool,
the epitome of maudlin sentimentality,
I’d have snorted years ago,
adding an exaggerated eye roll
for good measure 
in case the contempt in my voice
failed to register with 
the intended audience.

Now, I feel goosebumps 
clawing up my arms
and the sides of my neck
like a horde of micro-ninjas, 
then, reaching my temples,
spreading out like tiny explosions.

Oh, leave my eyes alone! 

Age is destroying my immune system 
against emotional viruses
even while it’s aggravating
my chronic cynicism. 

Books, movies, songs,
cheesy soap operas, 
even fleeting half-thoughts that 
invite themselves 
into the members-only inner sanctum 
of my brain.
Almost anything can trigger 
that annoying tingle. 

And ‘poignant’ has become one of my
favorite words because 
everything feels that way.

Why?

Is it because, after so many years, 
life has succeeded in secretly 
planting a large cache of empathy in me?

Is it the vague autumnal feeling
that now grips me year-round,
fed by a creeping awareness 
of my dwindling reserves of time,
and the attendant sensation that 
the older I get,
the faster time flies?

Or maybe I’m in permanent mourning. 
For lost time,
expiring memories,
lives not lived,
loves not dared.

And the transient insignificance of it all.  

Whatever the reason,
I have to make a choice.

Let my mind 
continue to wind down,
or grab it by the scruff of its neck
and wind it 
the hell back up!

Decision made.

Premium Member Why Grass

When did grass become a religion?
The perfect green, weed-free lawn
The goal of every homeowner?
Whole companies now exist solely
To maintain this suburban vision
With “lawn control” fertilizers and
A multitude of weed killer sprays,
In the process destroying habitat
And poisoning butterflies and the bees
We need for pollination of fruits,
Vegetables and a host of flowering plants.
Constant watering depletes reserves
And wastes our precious resource.
Hail to those who have dandelions 
And chickweed growing in their lawn
Or those who plant native grasses
And hardy local plants and flowers.
Hurrah for those who opt for vegetable
Gardens in the place of lawns and who
Plant shrubs and flowers that attract 
and nurture the elements of nature.
