U gonna get roughed up ..stuck up ..n hit up..Your body on da back of da pick-up..
Not anymore able to hick-cup..!!

Death Train

You've thrown me over the edge of the highest peaked cliff imaginable.
As I spiral further down, my outer shell gets roughed up by sticks and stones until my body is disfigured beyond recognition as if I'd been torn apart and restitched together by a confused child.
Will I ever hit the bottom?
And then it happens, I'm slammed to a standstill.
I don't know if I can make it out, I'm so terribly down on myself.
Do I have the strength to save myself? At least go halfway to safety?
I'll try.
But the only way to go is by crawling, dragging my nearly lifeless self along the railroad tracks that no one seems to come across unless they want to hide away and wait for death.
The track eventually runs into a tunnel I must get through to receive any chance of comfort.
But so many have died on this very set of tracks. Can I make it?
I'll try.
I'm gripping the cold, hard ground.
Struggling to continue on as each and every movement, even tiny, cuts deep in me as if slashed by the gory blade of a masked offender as I move along the rugged tracks.
I'm almost under the cover of the tunnel.
Oh God what's that sound?
A train?
Of course. Along comes the train.
The train constructed by all the grim gray deaths that have been committed along these very tracks.
Chugging, chugging, chugging along. Way faster than any pace I can produce.
The very structure of this train is held up by malicious spirits.
The steel walls are formed by the souls of all those who've laid out on the tracks and awaited their brutal deaths they so longed for.
I do NOT want to become an etched soul in that steel.
But it's coming for me.
I can hear it's whistle, and in its sound one can hear all the cries of the dead ever screamed aloud, formed into a single sound so evil it must've been the work of the devil himself.
But wait!...
I see a light.
A light at the end of the tunnel.
Hope.
There's still hope for me yet.
I'll be there. Just wait for me.

Lost Keys Eckos

I arrived at gadgados 
today TD our receptionist
is on leave and i have to multitask
between HR and customer care desk

We did lose the keys to the washrooms
turns out the HR forgot and they ended
accompanying her home.. as we are almost
giving up hope of ever finding them..

The boss arrived and they popped out of her bag..
TD arriving at the office these days he keeps popping
up like hes traveling on the fourth dimension

And mi i do know there is no way those keys could
have ended in Madams handbag for the previous day
i am the one who had custody of them last

But the cybertrack ringing in the air.. ability
give me ability... i bet it must be young bujas
who is up to his usual tricks once more

they say he formed the puma squad with the crown prince
and here at gadgados no one really knows what the silver
sentinels are up to... the pumas are very evasive

today the HR trying to corner me wanted to know why
the crown prince deserted duty at the military academy
i don't know i mussed... no one really does know

Maybe Bujas does.. its rumored left to start the puma squad
private silver sentinels... and they have made gadgados facility
their operating base... what they do no one wants to knows

Later in the evening we lost the front door keys only for them
to mysteriously reappear again an echo of the cyber track.. strength
strength give me strength to overcome for you are strength...

I have to mention Bujas strange companion Roy now prowls this area
and the other day i heard Lemmy roughed up people after i declined....
declined work... like TD and took a leave of absence to do music

for i week i sojourned in music traveling trans dimensional arriving...
at the land of light not very unlike Roy.. but different from Roy i traveled
in the eye of my mind and unlike Bujas i have no need for a time machine

She Left Me For That Man, For What He Had

Why did you slave my heart
Slaved all these years 
At the end you slayed it it
And took away the trust 
 
You snitched my happiness 
Destroyed all the love I had 
For you gal 
You did all that for that....... 
For that man..... 
For what he had
I felt betrayed 

You left me on a date 
Did not even wait
For the next day
I felt like embarrassment 
Was smeared on garments 
I smelt terrible disappointment

You left me in tears for that....
Just for what he had
For that man 

My trust for love is stolen 
My heart is left ruptured 
Roughed into pulp
Got clutched on lungs 
So hard so fast
Left bruise 

Your carelessness disturbed
My breathing 
For that man for what he had
How am I gonna be normal again 
Have love again 
Live the life I've always wanted 
Love wise 

Just when I was 
A step away
From realm of love
You stopped the display 
Of that environment 

I thought you were the one
To you layed all the trust and love 
Didn't know it was for the last 
To feel that 
Because of your lust
Not even for him 
It was not even for real 
 
You left me for that man for what he had 
You left on our date 
How sad 

I felt weakness in my bones 
It was not like not anymore 
Strong 
During that I couldn't be strong 
I tried to maintain control 
Over myself 
I just couldn't do it right 

I blamed and again and I blamed 
I blamed the next person
Everyone. ..
I was Clueless 
Atmosphere remained quite 
Environment tolerant
They understand 

Never thought this love can end 
I suspected curse 
It was all because she left me 
For what? 
That man for what he had 

People never love and think love can never end
Iam  not making anyone afraid to love 
But to never forget to love yourself
As well 

I hope you didn't enjoy this poem
Only 
But heard what it has to say

She left me for that man for what he had

Premium Member The Legend of Nolan Ryan Major League Baseballs Strike Out King

It's not easy becoming a Legendary  
Major League Baseball pitcher.
It never was and will never be.
You get put through the wringer
and hung out to dry.
From time to time you'll get little or no
run support.
You may have to face Legendary Icons
of the game 2 and 3 times in a game.
Come face to face with undisguised 
Batting Champions.
Silver Slugger Award Winners.
Members and potential Members of the
500 Home Run Club.
Members and potential Members 
of the 3000 Hits Club 
A few Future Members of 
Baseballs Hall of Fame 
as well as Iconic MLB ALL STARS.
You will face monumental challenges.
You'll get worn down and roughed up
being on the road 82 games a season.

As a Major League Baseball Starting Pitcher
you suck it up, go out on the mound
and challenge history.
You bring your "A" game 
You bring your best fastball 
your best curve ball
and your best change up. 
When you average 33 starts a season.
Average 10 complete games per season.
Average 3 shut outs per season.
Throw a No Hitter every 3.857 seasons.
Face an average 972 batters per season.
Average 232 innings per season
Through hot , cold , humid and sticky weather. 
Give up an average 169 hits per season.
Average 232 innings per season.
Average 82 earned runs per season.
Give up an average 14 home runs in 33 games 
over 232 innings per season.
When you average 120 walks per season
Strike out an average 246 batters per season
for a career total of 5714.

It kinda looks like this.
6.6 hits per 9 innings
4.7 walks per 9 innings
9.5 strike outs per 9 innings
Over 27 seasons.
When you do that for a total of 27 seasons
The critics will call you the next
Nolan Ryan.

Premium Member Fractals of Freedom: Virtues in a Void

Absurdity, chaos, 
strife:
The poet chooses 
virtuous reality.

Sisyphus, a 
titanic wave of metamorphosis, waiting, salted nausea:
The thinker roughed by sand 
a solitary tree in a barren desert 
defies absurdity

by seeking meaning in the absurd.

Authenticity, 
vision, conformity, religion:
The rebel a roaring 
wildfire igniting change like:
     authenticity, 
     vision, and non-conformity
forging their own path.

Project, 
reflect, individuality:
The human river
tasting the minerals of experience
expresses identity 
and discovers themselves.

Leap,
Übermensch,
ethics,
logotherapy:
The agent 
acts with freedom and responsibility
finding purpose.

Meaning, 
joy, void, hope:
The sweet-smelling optimist a sunflower 
fills emptiness with hope
seeking light in the darkness.

Truth, 
illusion, reality, fiction:
The rationalist 
discerns the real and the imagined.

Contradiction, 
logic, emotion:
The harmonist 
strives for balancing 
the rational and emotional.

Freedom, 
authenticity, manipulation, conformity:
The individualist 
resists pressure and influence.

Awareness, 
paradox, courage, hope:
The existentialist 
embraces the absurd and transcends.

Leak,
speak,
strike,
kneel:
The activist challenges-
The status quo and injustice.
Tirelessly fights for justice!

Death, 
suicide, violence, genocide:
The mortal 
faces limit and horror with courage.

Despair, 
nightmare:
The lover 
shares and cares with love.

Existence
precedes essence?
Or essence 
precedes existence?
The question 
haunts forever.

The Stoic 
Observes, unmoved yet aware:
Virtue alone suffices 
whether essence or existence;
In reason and nature 
we find our constant companion.

The Devil and Me 5 Years On

I look at those four poems and i'm reminded of harder times,
struggling to break free, to regain my mind.

Each poem was at a different time, throughout my withdrawals,
I wanted to open peoples eyes, to show you what your in for.

For anxiety they were intended, but had a multi purpose,
they suppressed my anger for a while, then things only got worse.

In between scripts is where things got bad,
not having enough money for them, made me intensely mad.

Then I just decided one day, to heck with it all,
I just stopped taking them, and wouldn't buy anymore.

I don't recommend this, this is not what I'm trying to endorse,
there are people out there that do need them, I just didn't want them anymore.

I hated what they were doing to me, whenever I ran out,
So I bit the bullet, and roughed it all out.

I still have anxiety, panic attacks as well,
Only difference is, I know what to do when I have a spell.

If I had known now what I didn't then,
I would never have started taking them.

To many times in life, people want a quite fix,
Take a pill, that's alright, it will fix you quick.

Putting a band aide over an infection,
doesn't take the infection away.

Only when you get to the root of the cause,
Can you bring about brighter days.

In a sense I guess, I wanted people to see what they do,
before taking anti depressants, think the whole thing through.

They are addictive and yes sometimes they help, for a little while,
then doctors will push you on the harder ones, then you'll be hooked for life.

There are other ways to deal with life's misery's, 
like holistic healing or counselling, or learning coping strategy's.

Directions

It feels as though time itself, 
Is slipping from my grasp,
Like I’m walking atop eggshells,
Across butterfly wings,
And along the shattered and broken glass

There never seems to be enough time
It’s like a marathon for me
All I want is to finish this climb
And stand tall for all to see

With all that’s going on right now,
These hard times seem to linger
Like I’m rushing in a race,
Against the ever changing current
And these memories in time are slipping, 
Like sand trickling down the narrow hourglass, 
Right through my desperate fingers

My vision seems to be constantly refocusing
Unsure about what is real
Switching between health and sickness
I don’t know how to feel

I look to the 7 directions
The brainless scarecrow pointing me every which way
sometimes I feel like the cowardly lion,
running from the slightest sight of trouble

I tried looking north, but my compass is bent 
I tried looking east, but I was blinded by the light
I tried looking south, but walking back into the past is not a mistake I
prefer to make
I tried looking west, to the stars, for answers, 
But all I got were twinkling lights and momentary freedom, 
Before darkness engulfed my thoughts
I tried looking up, silently begging for a direction to turn to
I tried looking down, to see things from above
Finally, I tried looking within, and found something worth working towards

So god bless this broken road I’ve been traveling
Hanging on by a thread, just getting by each day
For had I not fallen down and gotten roughed up a bit
I never would’ve gotten strong enough to get back up

Dug Up

12/23/20

Been one heck of a year and some month
Recently got a buzz cut
I'm buzzed yup
I was down and I was up
No longer such a young buck
Always f***ed up
What a f*** up
Shut up
And hush up

Pettiness continually being dug up
I'll take you out barehanded, or with num-chuks
Try to confront me and puff up
But quickly got roughed up
And scuffed up

Shut the f*** up
I don't ever need any thumbs up

You either did or didn't have enough guts
Fell down stayed there or was able to jump up
Before the towel was hung up

It was splattered about like bug guts
Spread amongst us
Always trying to instruct us
Yet so quick to confront us

Never been or plan on going for a duck hunt
Can't say the same for so and so, or such and such

Call it dumb luck
Often I lucked up
And was able to one up
The other half of the time, it was tough luck

Too many people being a suck up
Stuck up and a dumb f***
As they continue to bluff much

My eyes stuck shut
Occasionally over did it, but rarely ever would up chuck

Why must
They remind us
That eventually our time's up
If you deserve it, my trust you earned it
I'll tell you what's up
And what's what
From here to beyond Lubbock

Always working towards getting the funds up
Not quitting when the moons out or when the suns up

Saw it or did not see the gun tucked
Because they've had enough of
A world that is f***ed up

In the past a lot of shrubs and brush cut
Once in awhile the job required a lug nut

Fathom, that some people are still living in a mud hut
Having nearly nothing, except for just one cup

Premium Member The Snow Wolves

Against the pale October Moon, a lone howling cuts
Through the chill of the winter’s night, gleaming yellow
Green eyes flash in the forests wilderness wild.
Sleek mystic swift of feet, white powder chameleons,
Living by the creed of basic instinctual desire to survive,
In this harsh environment of the Rocky Mountains.
By the flight of the morning blue jay, spooked from his
Perches vantage point on high, the pack hunts in the
Deep valleys thickening glen.
Snow wolves on the prowl, seeking freedoms liberation
By tooth and claw, but these are beasts of the free spirit,
Out laws nomads, wondering where the restless heart so
Leads them.
Beguiling creatures of beauty, representing the raw
Force of power of the untamed soul, roughed individuals,
Stalkers of the ice and snow.
Spiritual brethren to the tribal Indians are these
Sacred guardians of the great spirits creation, darned
With mutual respect and admiration honor, let them
Roam freedom’s path forever.
Symbolic warriors under the skin and fur, does the animal
Run beside the human hidden within the shadow realm of realism.
Echoing in the distance, with a chilling presence that
Crawls up the neck bone of mankind, announcing,
Erriely, of the hunger driving them in silence.
Nature’s selectors, weaving the weak from the strong,
Legacies ancestral brave, soldiers of canines pack,
Living on the edge of extinction mighty wrath.
But looking into the eyes of the beast, one can only
See the beauty of a wild creature, whom wishes to remain
As he was born to be, simply put FREE!!
