Perche Sono Me IV Fire Part 1

Perche Sono Me IV (Fire)
It’s been a long time since I have told anyone why I was myself and why I am me. It was long ago that I dictated three prose poems on this matter. The same questions have come up; newer ones add to my plight. I am single because I will not settle for anyone who only fulfills the needs of my loins. I prefer a person that arouses my intellect and respect for her. The people I have met only meet one of those criteria, except one meeting two of the three. Still, to get all three is a challenge. Even getting two of the three is a challenge.
Why are you Single?
I am myself because of the pain I have endured by many who have claimed to want of me while they were giving a kiss of deceit. Playing with anyone's emotions is an unethical crime that haunts the perpetrator later in life. Several females who claim to know what they want are falling and feeling the pain they deserve for what they wanted was not deserved or earned. If you are stupid enough to want a bridge and house built for you without contributing to the production, then do not expect to have them when the man has built them. Of course, an unethical man will claim to have these until you are trapped and left out in the trash. Do not expect the good man to take you in, as you are not recyclable. When you give up on wanting a respectable man, you give up on being respectable to yourself. Your pain and the pain of your children were caused by you pursuing the pleasure of your false beliefs. One of them believed that she wanted a person of her faith. He could not commit to the person of free milk. He used her for five years. HARK to her for showing disrespect to herself and her daughter. Now, she is with someone who cares about how they treat her. Putting aerosol on excrement does not make a candle's scent flow in the breeze.
What type of partner do you want to marry?
Education is vital to me as I have seen many go to school only to find a mate or find a person to mate with. It is pretty disturbing that the goal is procreation and recreation. It is wiser to find someone who matches the qualities of a good girlfriend or wife if they meet the higher qualities. If you want a good friend, find someone with the qualities of a good girlfriend. If you want a good girlfriend, find someone who would make a good wife. If you want a good wife, then focus on these two aspects.

Premium Member Black Bird On a Wire Edited Version

Black Bird on a Wire

Black Bird
sitting on a wire
back turned towards me
Do you wish to hide the intelligence of your eyes
I see here at this old dump
picking through the unwanted wanted things
I wish I could search along with you
check out what the Jones's have no more use for
The bits of their unfixed
the not new enough
Their "I think we deserve the very best."
"This ain't good enough, let's buy more and more stuff!"
At one time
I wore their discarded garments without pride
I should have been proud
for I dug for them with my wanting hands
Hands that waded through 
their decadence
the refillable
the recyclable
their unused reusable

Black Bird
I watch you and your brothers
as you feasted on our last suppers
Ripping open black bags
fighting for morsels 
Unconcerned with the rotting
intoxicated by fermenting fruit
the pungent aromas
There are bones that need to be picked clean

I noticed but did not recall until now
the depth of my wanting
the hunger within
Back then
I was hoping 
praying for a bicycle
Desperately wanting to ride far away from here
so that I might escape my then
my embarrassment
my "I hope no one sees me!"
"Garbage picker!"
"Where did you get that coat?"
"We threw that in the dump!"
Boy oh boy do I like clothing now.
No one will ever again make fun of what I wear!

Part of me wishes to return with you Black Bird
to see what I have left behind
So that I can reclaim
and recycle that little boy
But I can't
The dumps aren't open anymore
It is like those old bones
bleached
picked clean
Manicured
Items placed in appropriate piles
All the while
you sit on your wire
back turned to me
Intelligent eyes hidden
knowing I can't disturb you
In a while you will feed on yesterday
for this place 
is not closed to you!

This piece grew out of my childhood experiences. We got our clothing from the dump and I still remember a girl saying to my sister " That's my coat, we threw that in the dump." I felt so bad for her and also for myself.

How To Be a Man

Take out the trash on Tuesday and remember the white bags are recyclable; 
Don’t mix the trash with the pig food, we’re saving the world; 
Put the yard waste on the curb on Friday after you finish pruning; 
Don’t oversleep on harvest days;
Be careful, remember we deal with squash, not squish; 
Vacuum and cover the pool today; 
Take your shoes off before you enter the house; 
Always hold the door for the ladies; 
Half-naked girls aren’t friendly girls; 
Don’t do drugs for they hinder your mind; 
Be sure to keep holy on the Lord’s day; 
Don’t cuss for this is the infamous cuss jar; 
This is how to tie a figure-eight, this is how to shoot a doe; 
This is how to treat your lady, and this is how to treat your foe; 
This is how you wear your tie; 
This is how you plant the seeds; 
This is how you chop a fallen pine; 
this is how you hoe some weeds; 
this is how you talk to Pops and Ma;
This is how to drive your tractor;
This is how to cook a steak;
But don’t fix dinner for God’s sake—you’re not a girl, you know; 
Don’t go shopping, go farming; 
Don’t do girly things for you are a young man and must become and old man; 
This is how you burn the leaves;
This is how you study; 
This is how you use a saw;
This how you change the break pads and this is how you build a house;
This is how you work out—you might want to play some sports; 
This is how you take care of your wife and your kids;
This is how you change a diaper like a man; 
Sometimes it’s okay to lie, or leave without saying goodbye; 
Sometimes its okay to skip work to fix dinner for your lady; 
This is how you set the table;
This is how to track muddy footprints through the freshly cleaned house when work just wasn’t good today; 
This is how you kiss a ladies hand; 
But what if the lady won’t let me kiss her hand?;
You mean to say that after all you are really going to be the kind of guy who a lady won’t let kiss her hand?

Acting My Age

They said I should act my age 
the committee of higher ups and wanna be’s
all  perfect citizens  in good  standing of the co op
where we shared a common postal code 
and little else
hell…. lets be honest ….nothing else
waiting in their  self built quieu of crossed t’s and dotted eyes
as if they were orderly soldiers
waiting to be dispatched on a daily crusade
to make sure the hallways were always  tidy
your name plate not too big….and certainly never too small
the elevators went up and the elevators  went down
that dogs kept their owners on a leash at all times
stay on the path…. stay on the path…
don’t you know you must stay on their path to be one of us


I started to believe the rumors 
that even the candles on  their birthday cakes
stood  perfectly erect for hours 
as the burning wick took all that there was to take
leaving the solitary evidence of their existence 
a mere pool of cold wax
spent …listless… shapeless…
 not even the scent of ever being here remained
having been blown out to sea 
by the whim of nobody cares anymore..they never truly did
a life had simply come and gone as if it had never been
like an unused paper plate  waiting to be discarded in a garbage bag
recyclable of course or at least that was the dream 
or perhaps it was it the plan

A life unlived is a song never sung
an uneaten morsel of chocolate cake
laying under a layer of calorie reduced icing 
of course why would you want to enjoy icing 
as you counted down the days the minutes
the seconds…… your heartbeats 
to arrival  at never never land
do they not know
has no one else been brave enough to tell them
none of us… none of us… none of us
get off the planet alive
let me eat the cake of my choice please
I’ll take the large one… 
 if you don’t mind
                                  Irish

Premium Member Black Bird On a Wire

Black Bird
Sitting on a wire
Why is your back turned towards me?
Do you wish to hide the intelligence of your eyes,
or do you wish to create some mystery?
I have seen you
Here at this old dump
Picking through the unwanted wanted things
I wish I could search along with you
Check out what the Jones's have no more use for
The bits of unfixed
The not new enough
Their "I think we deserve the very best"
"This ain't good enough, let's buy more and more stuff!"
At one time
I wore their discarded clothes
Wore them without pride
I should have been proud
For I dug for them with wanting hands
Hands that waded through decadence
Refillable 
Recyclable 
Usable
Black Bird
I watched you and your brothers
As you feasted on our last suppers
Ripping open black bags
Fighting for morsels 
Unconcerned with the rotting
Intoxicated by fermenting fruit
Pungent aromas
Bones that needed to be picked clean

Me noticing but not recalling until now
Back then
I was hoping 
Praying for a bicycle
Desperately wanting to ride far away from here
Escape  my then
My embarrassment
My, I hope no one sees me!
"Garbage picker!"
"Where did you get that coat?"
"We threw that in the dump!"
Boy oh boy do I like clothes now.
No one makes fun of what I wear!

Part of me wishes to return with you Black Bird
To see what I left behind
Reclaim
Recycle that little boy
But I can't
The dumps aren't open anymore
It is like those old bones
Bleached
Picked clean
Manicured
Items placed in appropriate piles
All the while
You sit on your wire
Back turned to me
Intelligent eyes hidden
Knowing I can't disturb you
In a while you will feed on yesterday
For this place 
Is not closed to you!


Lighter Than Fiction

A 
Ball
see it rise
like a
balloon 
massive fire-disk reflects
sun on fine sheets of steel
skinned over heat foam all
connected on
a track of circles
pipes and control refined
layers gas filled
rise high into space
tanks compress gas
engines flare and drive toward
and orbit with the Moon and then to Mars
inside a chamber
plates cover spheres
modules with landing gear
for exploration
living quarters
oxygen and water manufacturing
some keep going to Mars and
others stay in Moon’s orbit to collect data
unmanned rockets
drive ships
recyclable into living space
one way ships sent daily
supply Moon base and Mars base are
recycled
new engines build
more modules in space 
3 square miles of ship
opened out and locked together with
micro factories and labs
industry space and home
more modules to explore our solar system
and beyond
  
We need a new Moon base!
Who wants an ice cave on Mars?

money is
out there to
build the economy
sell
6 month trips to your own
Moon Base Hotel
just …
please, please stop killing each other
and if you must leave this world in search of freedom then
 it is a big universe
build a new engine
not
a new bomb
spread mankind
not
end it 
human race is on
find Moon Gold
wonder what a Mars diamond looks like
lay down the weapons now
pretty please with
jam on it

Life playing hide and seek with us...
Yes and no, alas long -
Not a riddle, not for answers,
Life the spindle.

Can fortunately, maybe with grief,
Life make sense - 
Those who needed sometimes
And who needed himself.

Those who helped once
Unselfishly, from the heart,
Those who climbed into the soul for gold
Its certanily soul

But yet in this life
Always keep your heart of evil...
Life is a funny thing because,
Pits, bumps - until the end.

And who endure, did not give up,
The one who's heart is not blind,
He only becomes human,
Who each give to the bread.

I often think that in Zlata
Happiness... but love it...
And we are losing wealth,
Oneplease of recyclable materials.

People... think about loved ones,
Take care of those who have...
And chasing distant,
Stay on the ground.

Those who loves with all his heart,
Those who soul with you
You will be rewarded handsomely there,
If you soul with the family!

Earth Hour

Where we live is universal
It is men’s  abode, they fight for it
Only to become lethal
Man now without mercy is cruel
We love the EARTH and man is wise
To be a fool, he abuses trees  for his use
 Be it for personal and commercial
He does irresponsible mining to his detriment
His garbage and waste are left uncontrolled. 

But sure in pageantry we are not forgetful
Of the monumental EARTH HOUR of this event!
Each one representing 
The air, the water, the land, the fire, the rain, the trees
And, Miss Earth is found and crowned  
A great face,  an advocate ,  an ambassador
Torchbearer of  environmental protection
Mindful of man’s obligation  to save this planet
By the second, by the minute, by the hour!


Note:  I will diligently sort my garbage into 3 categories:  real garbage, recyclable and food scraps (recycled as fertilizers),  my humble way of preserving our planet Earth!

Monomaniacal Mist

Monomaniacal Mist

I am the finite of the infinite for the shadows bleed my presence
My habitual hunger is imminent and toxicant time is of the essence
Like the serpent swallowing sorrows slithering to sanitize your soul
In view of marauding morrows whispering winds wavering console

As a malodorous mist, I appear a demi-god of recyclable tangled time
A fallen angel fostering fear bringing forth a new pernicious paradigm
I come within denigrative dreams a diabolical debacle demanding end
A Svengali of silent screams an oblivious organism that will transcend

A jaded jackal conjured by the broken hearts withering to their demise
The grotesque genie that departs only to enslave before it’s downsize
I am the confiscating conqueror of night banishing your barren breath
Like a fallacious futile frostbite a feculent frozen fire ... for I am death.

                                               my quote

                             Who twisted the strings on the guitar?
                                 A fading sound from a noisy bar
                               As the wind from the bare window
                                barn swallows fly low, you know
                                     His emotions blown away
                                    recyclable, but will not stay

                                      The parchment cracks
                                  from bird's eye view a climax
                                the night charmer in camouflage
                            she is waiting for his following barrage
                                 Her love was never reciprocated
                                     being loved is complicated
