The Man At the Bottom of the Lane

No I am not a famous poet,
being published everyday,
But I am a man of society,
And I have words to say,
How can I get these words out,
When Society imprisons me,
Society sticks these labels to me,
Calling me socialist and multiculturalist,
And the Right wing call me traitor,
Those haters want me dead,
Yet still the words build up inside me,
The words have no fear of death,
And they rush headlong from my mouth,
Like a Forlorn hope of old breaching a castle moat,
And you talk of shipping the immigrants home,
back home upon a boat,
Were we not all immigrants at one point,
And they label me again you're a liberal quote unquote,
If you read and take one thing from this,
Let it be that human beings are not the same,
But our differences enhance our lives,
Would it not be boring to be carbon copies,
Of the man at the bottom of the lane.

Book 9

Heaven quote-unquote existed...pre-the universe’s birth...
If’s God’s really real, it’s Him that Made it, just for what it’s worth...
That would mean this life’s illusion...Manufactured, something ‘other’...
How on earth are we supposed to know what’s real or just a Cover?...
That’s just it!...It can’t be answered!...No mere man can say for sure...
Where’d’ya draw the line when space and time are cogs in God’s Design?...
Who can say the world existed...pre-the day you came to be?...
Since we know it’s all illusion...who can prove that ‘they’ can see?...
Maybe some of us are Chosen? Maybe only you or me?...
We can’t say for certain so we’ll treat each other beautifully...
Either way, it’s God’s Design...Avoid the risk of spiritual fine!...
Time, they say’s eternal though I thought they said that God’s Exempt...
He Exists outside the structure...that we quote-unquote enjoy...
Everything is Planned...’Add’, understand and don’t ‘destroy’...
 
 I am...The source of consciousness comes from outside of the body...This suggests, if not, say, proves, that ‘thoughts’ are all, say, channeled...’...“I make known the end(, my friend) from(, say,) the (start or, say,) beginning...what is still to come. I say, ‘My...will (is not ‘my’ own)”’...
God ‘Removed’ the dark from light. That’s right! The two were once as one... while ‘Darkness’(, some say ‘evil’,) is all God. The doctor’s wrong!...Song was first inspired by silence...Love is noticed most through hate...God Made men...believe in ‘evil’...Beasts will meet at Moses’ gate...Just wait until you hear what’s in your DNA...It’s Yahweh’s Name!...Why, we are but Machines of sorts...His naughts and ones, I am...A shameless sham; free will’s illusion...Logic sticks to ‘my’ conclusion...All ‘our’ thoughts and science must make sense within The Plan...If channeling is, indeed, a thing, which gives the voice box things to sing, say, how can any thought be free within Set-destiny?...When we factor in the theory; butterflies meet sliding doors; each tidal wave’s a steppingstone-pre- Planned-perpetually...Time does not exist, in truth...The dawn of time is always now...The universe is screaming ‘Trust!’...just please don’t ask me how...I am...A(re )men(?)...my friend or, in fact, foe...The soul’s a sort of software so know nothing that ‘they’ say today can prove that God’s not there...I swear...I am..

Being driven by others 
who just don't see your illness
since it's not a broken arm or leg
keep saying I'm special I can win
the being disqualified because 

you never attended college.
nor because you suffered injury 
or illness being told you just.
cannot compete struggling. 
because someone said you 
 
and your mind cannot write. 
its own thoughts searching. 
finding real hope within 
The Special Olympics 
where you are among 

your own peers why one 
must believe writing poetry 
is no different that being able
to express yourself through 
poetry and song is a gift no one 

has the right to take it away 
from you the feeling being free  
in your mind to be challenged to soar 
in spite being quote unquote broken
silencing yourself words unspoken

Maya Angelou wrote of great suffrage 
depression and abuse as did Virginia Woolf  
during her madness mental disease her best 
poetry was created including Emily Dickinson 
Edgar Alan Poe William Shakespeare 

many great writers mentally disabled persons 
think write read and sing teaching us about 
mental illness why they have a lot to say 
well in my book I think that it's okay

Selflessness Pt2

Quote unquote friends i have made since he.
How do they see me now? Was i just a sign on a highway? Just looking and cruising me by. 

    Its good that my peers know how i operate yet, it unsatisfied me that they know who i am
i think of it quite useless. 

     It’s always “young and free” but i don’t feel free. countless days and nights entrapped in four walls. my social skills are torn and low, i’ve wrapped myself in isolation 

     I don’t feel happy.. but i feel peace. enough peace to not become so faint and cruel to this world who showed no remorse. 

I’m uneasy and ready to rest.


Eulogy

You were my first love my greatest treasure
Sadly my world was shaken beyond measure
Silently like a thief in the night death came
Took your body  your soul it could not claim
I saw you suffering and fighting the pain
Disease killed its victim again and again
My tears collect like incense in a bowl
Tears have a habit of cleansing the soul
Like a rudderless boat in a boisterous sea
I’m not sure how things will end for me
Kind words of comfort from all around
Unconditional grace and love abound
I would like to conclude this eulogy this tribute
With the words of the minister so resolute
And I quote “Let us not wait for the storm to pass
But let us rather learn to dance in the rain” unquote
Fare thee well my forever love my life

Hitler's final attack on quote unquote 
undesirable humans from the bile's of slave 
ships prison camps European complete 
infestation thee German female cock roach 
feasting on poor captured humans and their 
belongings during world war two carried to 
America in the cracks boxes on boats 
going for tea I turned on my kitchen light
 
what an ugly sight she stood there long 
dark itchy hairy legs lips lined with flesh 
pink liner she awaits a light in order to 
scatter through any crack to slide into 
homes windowpanes paneling door frames 
once in side she scurries inside cupboards 
closet prancing through old clothing one 
in her nature she releases a powerful yellow 

stench staining walls and furniture finally
the hairs on her legs make a god awful 
sound alerting her the owners are coming
prowling in the darkness she hides inside 
pages and pages books old letters photos 
receipts leaving black dusty feces spreading 
fecal matter carrying hundreds of eggs on 
her back her selfish nature allows her to 

actually breed alone without a spouse a 
mate multiplying within the darkness of 
Lucifer’s lair night crawlers leaving disease 
and carney in her wake feasting in left 
over scum crumbs damp wet old wood 
someone screams look the time it takes 
to open book splat swat frightening all the 
guess truly horrifying to see exhilarating to 
just smash or watch her run back up a tree
