Asinine
The Poem
Spit and glue
Tape on glasses
Lace on wrinkled rumps
Lipstick on lizards
Ants in bee-hives
Parties in the cemeteries
Toothfairy bank robbers
Dunces in libraries.
Rhymes on caution signs
Large Letters for the deaf
and hearing aids for the blind-
Asinine.
I think, to see a cripple crabs with crutches,
bow-legged spiders with a pigeon toe-ed cat.
Or a knock-knee-ed rabbit- with a Multi-Colored Bat
Apes eating hor devours
Amish wearing Hats no-more
Imagine the scenic scene
That we would see-
If the Sky replaced the sea-
Spit and Glue will never do-Spit
won't do, when you need glue.
Dressed to kill with taped up glasses,Lace on strippers
with wrinkled rumps
It's a crazy poem but I really feel
You should never read rhymes on caution signs.
CAUTION
Look up here
have no fear –
There have been
twenty-six
accidents right here-
When you slow up
to read this rhyme
you may get hit
from behind
cross the white
line and smash
over the medium
there's some praying going on right now
and it's time for you to get on down
down on your knees and to God just pray
that He'll remove all the trash standing in your way
how many time in life have you taken out the trash
to get rid of all those things that are cluttering your path
be it the junk, the spam, the baggages or the issues
it's time to throw out all the old and make room for the new
sooner of later you'll have to alleviate yourself of all that stuff
the debris in your life of which you have had enough
you need to pray about all those things in your life
the burdens,bothers and bondage causing you struggle and strife
one reason that you should pray is because you truly aspire
to be free of all the troubles and problems that you no longer desire
but be careful of those things you carry along in life's race
the things that will weigh you down and slow up your pace
for as far as the East is from the West
God only wants you to have the very best
take out the trash in life, those things that are in your way
and pray God will relieve you of the rubbish this day
just bring it all to Jesus whenever you need a spiritual check-up
bring it before the Savior and be transformed from the neck up
just don't think for one minute that you're the one who's in control
for whenever you pray to God, He's in the process of cleansing your soul
and don't become a garbage picker and attempt to hold on to all that trash
let go of all the dirt and sin and become purified at last
there's a spiritual war going on and the devil's on the stroll
so be girded up in the armor of God to protect the Kingdom's stronghold
just take out the trash and leave it on the cross
get rid of the accumulation, it won't be a great loss
get clean from the inside out and gain a pure heart
learn to forgive, forget and let go that's the best way to start
for there is nothing in this world that the Lord God can't work out
He has the answer to every question that you could possibly sprout
so take out all the trash after you have prayed
and with a clean house God will guide your way

Back in the days, the Elders weren't lying.
Sometimes I get up and hear cracks 4 or 5 times.
The hip gets to hurting with any sudden moves.
Walk slow up the stairs, and hold the rail, fool.
Whenever feeling the urge, just slow your roll.
When shooting basketball hurts, you know you're old.
After doing some things we have to sit a little longer.
Forgetting we can't do things we did when we were younger.
I hear things Crackin' and Poppin' every time I move.
From the back of my neck to the top of my shoes.
Behind the kneecap, including hamstring and groin.
When I raise up, it's often in major slow motion.
Not only does your hair tend to get Moses gray.
The body tends to follow. Maybe off by a day.
Then!!! To top that off, women go through heat flashes.
Just stay in your lane, and keep Poppin' and Crackin'.

As a living organism
For a long time had no pot to piss in
Minimal optimism
Until I finally found wisdom
It all became different
Yet at the same time it didn't
Due to a glitch in the system
Another box of tricks
F*** all these politics
Before an apocalypse
I got to take a lot of risk
Otherwise I will not win
A better outlook, higher intelligence and more positive
Eventually I want kids
For them I've got to live
I'll always be there to talk with them
Get them family pets like a dog and fish
Bake them cookies that are chocolate chip
Build them a treehouse with my all I offer it
To me it's worth it in the end, instead of a crock of s***
A daily battle to stack my dough up
It's urgent that I cut back and slow up
Half the time I feel like I want to throw up
It's no bluff
Know what
Just means I got to grow up
And show up
I'll always be there for them, because I want to see them grow up
Buy them their own stuff
When it all gets 'so tough'
I'll help them out so that it won't suck
I'll teach and show much
For example to not treat others like they're below us
It's been one hell of a fight
I'll never give up in order to give them the best life
In this life of mine, it's the only thing that's felt right
Heyyy friend, since we always UP to something, I wanna give a tribute to the word UP, because everyday of our life we do something meaningful with the word up.
So with that being said, I wanna know, what’s UP with you?
How many of these UPs did you do today?
hurry up, stand up, start up, write up
raise up, push up, speed up, mark up, fill up
come up, pull up, step up, climb up
drive up, straighten up, cheer up, tear up
rise up, lift up, run up, clean up, buckle up
chin up, pin up, put up, shut up
get up, sit up, hit up, spit up
woke up, broke up, spoke up
boot up, toot up, man up, hand up
chew up, blew up, screw up
walk up, talk up, hype up, type up
dress up, mess up, fold up, hold up
wake up, make up, break up
toss up, boss up, lay up, pay up
look up, hook up, took up, shook up
tighten up, lighten up, wrap up, strap up
save up, gave up, head up, made up
lick up, stick up, pick up
slip up, whip up, rip up, zip up
stock up, lock up, knock up
go up, show up, grow up, throw up, blow up
but never ever slow up
pop up, hop up, mop up, stop up
burn up, turn up, stuck up, luck up, f’k up
heat up, eat up, beat up, feet up
back up, pack up, rack up, jack up, stack up
but never ever slack up
I did a lot of these UPs today, but most importantly, I Stayed up and Prayed up…
Well, my “time UP,” lol
So what’s up? Can you think of any I missed?
When we see the mother with five starving babies to feed,
Do we call her five blessings a curse,
Or just five mistakes she didn’t need?
When we see the homeless man sleeping in the rain,
Do we call his misfortune his problem,
Or just a bum without a name?
Do we ignore the little old lady struggling to make it safely home?
Can we not slow up for a moment to show compassion,
Or would we rather she hurried along?
When we know about the child that gets bullied every day in school,
Don’t snitch is what we tell him,
So he suffers silently by that rule.
Who cares about the man that can’t find a job?
Should we convince him to sell drugs
Or just watch his family starve?
Do we care what the preacher says about paying God tithes?
Or is it more important that we save for
The newest fad gadget;
That’s more important than saving lives.
Do we care about the kid that lost his life the other night?
Are we mourning the loss of a human
Or the fact we missed the fight?
Who cares about the black man in court,
After the judge sentences him to life for a low level crime?
Our ancestors fought to get out of chains,
And its time to be heard and make a change.
Who cares?
I care.
It’s time to make a change,
And together—we can do it!
Often in our language, opposites mean just the same
To anyone trying to learn it, confusion’s the name of the game.
People fill a form in, when they’re filling it out
As Alfie was fond of saying, “What’s that all about?
Up and down are opposites, a fact you can’t deny.
Yet ‘slow up’ and ‘slow down’ are synonymous; I’ve never worked out why.
Set fire to a house and it burns up, while it’s burning down.
Having raised it to the rooftop, you can raze it to the ground.
Now slim means the opposite of fat, so I really wish I knew
How a slim chance means there’s not much and a fat chance means that too.
There are other contradictions that puzzle me as well.
How can we sometimes have noses that run, while having feet that smell?
And if writers write and actors act why is it do you suppose
That you never see a finger fing or see a grocer groce?
And don’t get me started on plurals. There I admit defeat.
If the plural of foot is feet, why aren’t two boots called ‘beet’?
The plural of mouse of course is mice and that of louse is lice.
So why are the houses we live in not referred to as ‘hice’?
I could go on forever but time is running out.
I’ll leave the last word to Alfie, “What’s it all about?
it be late at night
but the urge feels right
for an early dawn write
at the push of a button
not quite all of a sudden
mind vapors are put in
all the right places
to slow up the paces
and see what's been faceless
these past many months
despite the sighs and grunts
to log in the soup of poetry stunts
where one can build castles
without all the hassles
of computer program rascals
their logic of contexts and contents
a constant of restraints
that somehow just stinks
up down and sideways
nights and days
trying usual and imaginary ways
to log on then today
an email came this way
what happened i can't say
things just went right
this odd saturday night
my butterfly...now...in flight
stan sand
