Out of patience and sick of waiting,
I just want to get out and socialize.
Despite what I want to go and do,
Need to be smart and safe when I do.
I’m not going out like the Florida fools,
Or chilling with friends by the pool.
I just want to get out of the freaking house,
I’ve never been good at lying around.
Some of us can remain sheltered full time,
Others are bored as hell in these times.
Some people are so driven by fear,
Won’t go anywhere no matter how near.
Can’t live life trapped in a bubble,
That doesn't mean go and form huddles.
Can’t close yourself off from society,
That’s like internalizing personal anxiety.
Have you ever told a story, said something that was untrue,
Perhaps to make yourself look good though such tactics were undue?
Have you ever denied a thing that truth of fact you'd done,
Perhaps for self protection when you were under the gun?
Have you ever betrayed a friend who thought you could be trusted,
Who stood by you through thick and thin but you left their life disrupted;
By things you said and things you did you never should have done,
But you thought only of yourself and things you could have won?
Have you ever betrayed the love of a friend or family member,
And used their love and loyalty to light a fire like tender;
A fire that burned the bridges that they tried to build for you,
A fire you built with cruel lies, a fire that grew and grew,
Until all that you had hoped for and all that you did have,
Was burned to ashes, blown away by the winds of righteous wrath?
Instead of trying to look good, so smart, so in the know,
It's better oft to hold your tongue when winds of trouble blow.
If you can't say something good,then don't say something bad.
Hurting others hurts you too, it leaves you tired and sad,
Without a friend or relative who gives a whit, a care,
And without friends and family you haven't got a prayer.
THE REAL YOU
Who do you think you are, tell me.
The way you throw your weight around
a handleless hammer I see,
unstruck nails are all on the ground.
Smart behemoth you walk on air.
Who do you think you are, tell me,
wearing musk of a billionaire,
life’s storm grinds your face in debris.
Though you show off poet’s pedigree
your poems grow in marsh like weeds.
Who do you think you are, tell me
poet laureate’s poems who reads.
A nice net of fake love you lay,
for me you go on shopping spree.
Deceiving you can’t get away,
who do you think you are, tell me.

Everything works on science,
Even your phones and kitchen appliance;
Weather you walk by pushes of frictions,
Or phenomena that take place in dimensions;
In order to create mind blowing Creation,
smart brains are working on nano invention.
Newton and apple are born to bound,
Gravitational force pulls everything down.
Protect our earth and reduce the thrash,
Reuse container and recycle for cash.
Deal with the tragic magic of chemistry,
Digging into earth lead to new discovery;
We can make plane we can make car,
Thanks to science that we came this far;
Saved energy and bought us time,
With computers we don't need to stand in line.
Science made life so much easier,
Yet society gets more and more busier.
And what about your bikes and car??
Without science would it go that far?
life is convenient by technology's use;
Why we still hold so many excuse?
What you know about trails and test?
The data of world opens up on internet.
With technology everything is fine,
The answer of every question is science.
They hung around the beer joint with the finest Western wear
with thumbs tucked in their belt loops and such a studly air.
But those boots weren't made for stirrups and were polished to a sheen,
and on those fancy cowboy hats not a sweat stain could be seen.
You could be sure they hadn't spent much time around a branding pot,
for the only brands they recognized were ones on stuff they bought.
And if they ever passed the time just musing 'bout their spread,
it'd be the one around their middle or the one they put on bread.
Just a bunch of cowboy wannabes in a modern masquerade,
but they drove the biggest pickup trucks that Detroit ever made.
The beds were big and beautiful without a scratch or scuff inside,
'cause the only thing they hauled around was a horse's big backside.
As they stood around outside the joint, in a smart-ass state of mind,
in pulled an ancient pickup with an old horse trailer hitched behind.
The truck an old green Chevy, year 'bout nineteen fifty-nine,
with two high wooden sideboards stacked with hay bales bound with twine.
Out stepped a skinny hombre, with steel-blue eyes and bandy legs,
but he had a rippling six-pack while all the boozers sported kegs.
His cowboy hat was sweat-stained; high-heeled boots were dusty gray;
he kicked off a chunk of cow pie, then he grabbed a bale of hay.
He was mighty parched and dusty, but he wouldn't quench his thirst
'cause you're not an honest cowboy unless you water horses first.
The pack of fools gave out a hoot, yelled "Hey there, Texas Pete!
Get yourself a man-sized truck and take that geezer off the street!"
As he finished with the horses, up walked two ladies smokin' hot.
The cowboy promptly doffed his hat, while the posers there did not.
The cowboy got a long admiring look and the rounders just a sneer,
as the sham was so apparent when a real cowboy was near
They flashed the dusty cowboy a big ol' smile 'bout ten miles wide...
Said "Honey, would a gent like you care to escort us gals inside?"
He winked, then gave the trucks a look and spat a stream of juice.
Said, "Boys, y'all's might be bigger, but mine gets a sight more use."
Echoes everywhere
Stomp Stomp
Who’s there?
A Giant says he
Being tall
The Giants call
I can destroy
People are like toys
Looking over the colony
Think of me as your majesty
King high above
A tall tree
My footsteps are my mark
Traces of where I have been
I am tall from the top to the end
Witty and smart
The colony fears me
I am sight to seek
The Earth shakes when I move
It’s powerful in what I want to prove
That Jack is always being my search
He wants a battle with me
Who do you think will win?
Destiny my reward
A battle with a sword
I have a cold colony heart
Don’t let my temper stir up
I don’t get none
Alone and among
The Giant needs love sometimes
Happiness is sitting up in a tree
Searching but no find
A colony that is never kind too me
What do I do?
Otherwise has no surprise
This Giant just sits and waits
Let me stomp my foot loud in approval
The Giant has spoken
But never out done
Everything in life
Came easy to me.
That all changed
When I got my own family.
Dirty diapers, late night feedings
& so much crying.
It was spiritually, mentally
& physically trying.
I'd do it all again
That was the best time
Of my life.
I was a husband, a father
With kids & a wife.
It felt good to hold my child
He always smiled, when I did.
He was the best thing that ever happened to me.
Damn I love that kid.
I spoiled him rotten
He was my pride & joy.
Then God & my wife blessed me again
She bore me another boy.
My wife enjoyed watching me
Play with my sons.
She said, you are a terrible hubby
But as a dad, you're number one.
She already had children
Before we met.
I raised them as my own
I love them all, I have no regrets.
I'd pray every night
Thanking God for blessing me.
With this beautiful wife &
My perfect family.
Her (our) daughter is so bright.
She's gifted, smart.
She has a beautiful spirit
She has her mother's caring heart.
Her (our) oldest son is a
Mama's Boy & that ain't a bad thing.
Mess with his mama
& watch the drama he would bring.
Her (our) middle child
Is cool & laid back.
He's going to be a heart breaker
That is a fact.
Her (our) younger child
He is so smart & oh so clever.
He has a special place
In my heart, I'll cherish him forever.
Her (our) youngest child
Is always happy, like he's floating on a cloud
He's always doing something, to make his mother & I proud.
My (our) oldest daughter
Is an adult, with children of her own.
We (I) wasn't there for her
She had to do it alone.
I miss all my children dearly
This is a pain I didn't know that could exist.
It hurts to longer be with them.
My life was perfect when I was with them
Believe me they are missed.
This separation from them
Is unbareable as hell.
I hope & pray each night
That my children are doing well.
Whatever wrong I did to deserve this
I know I had to have overpaid that debt.
This as low as I ever been
To lose my children is my biggest regret.
I try to move forward
But it's hard to stand tall.

I LOVE YOU ALL.
When love feels upside down and falling apart
From affairs that deal directly with your heart
We tend to over think them from the very start
Stuck in your head like a pointed dart
Looking for the right answer to jumpstart
The beauty in love that feels like art
Baby with you I want us to never depart
We must prioritize this like we are so smart
Love with you always makes me feel shiny and new
Troubled waters between us make me feel sad and blue
How we lost our way I haven't any clue
I respect all that we share through and through
There is nothing in this world I would not do
To make all of our dreams come true
When we are together we are like glue
In love, we both share the same view
Honey let's find what's missing or overdue
What we see in each other is just a preview
Nothing about what we have I would undue
Love like ours we have to pursue
You know deep down inside it leads to I do's
Sharing our life is what God wants for me and you
Turkey Duck And Junior
Some days like Sundays, turkeys are not too smart
They don’t go to church or drive cars or sing opera
One Sunday a turkey mated with a duck
The duck became confused for some odd reason
In its own language and vernacular it stated
Get off of me you simple; something that rhymed with duck
The turkey did not comply
It did continue in its sinful mission without permission
Later on an egg popped out of one of them
Neither one owned up
The shell cracked open suddenly and then
It did not quack. It did not gobble
After looking in a mirror the thing stated succinctly
Please return me to my shell immediately
I promise not to tell what you idiots have done to me
The turkey spun in circles counter clockwise
The duck swam backwards in the pond
Neither one responded responsibly
Junior found a shot gun and some shells
It shouted, I don’t know who you bird brains are
But if you are mom and dad you better marry
Or learn how to turkey up or duck
I know how to use this weaponry
To solve matters of illegitimacy
I’m not the girl with the Cinderella smile
exposing perfectly straight pearly teeth
so lovely birds swoop down to
perch on my finger and sing
I’m nothing as sweet as Snow White
I’m far too smart to fall for
the old poison apple trick
I’m more likely to be the one
placing a curse on an enemy
that’s earned my enmity
I’m no raving beauty
my waist a bit wide
my shoulders too broad
my spine slightly snaky
with a tendency to trip
over my own two feet
I’ve often pondered the possibility
that in a past life
Shakespeare’s muse for Sonnet 130
must have been me
yet he found in her something exceedingly rare
a love strong and true beyond compare
Is there someone searching for that
out there?
