Marilyn Monroe

Marilyn Monroe
Many hear that name and cringe
It's been said that she was off her hinge
But what if she were born to a wealthy home
She may have been a name unknown
Say her parents had given her a head start
Paid for a college degree in fine art
Would she have kept her birth name and closed her legs
Been held together with high society pegs 
The answer to this question is not opinion, but fact
No one will ever know, so watch your mouth and have tact
She was an exquisite lady built from turmoil and sorrow
Not a dime in pocket, even her name was borrowed 
Do you know what it's like to have nowhere to turn
My guess is you would struggle to discern 
Reba said it all when she described "Fancy"
Fewer choices, less foundation, some simply can't see
So before you judge, try wearing her high heels
With a wink and a chuckle, enjoy fine meals 
Mr. President may be married to a lady on a pedestal 
But if he were happy with her, do you think he would gamble
Perhaps she was kind and thought First Lady was her calling
But with food and shelter, would you hear her bawling
Many would disagree with these words I have spoken
They are probably at home, in their hot tub soaking 
The point of my defense is not to justify
But give you a thought, in case  have no supply


Watch Your Mouth

You are lying--full of crap
Your mouth is a big dirty trap
Nothing ever comes out true
What did I ever do to you
For you to bad mouth me around'
To my family, friends and town
I don't know why your so mean
Causing such a horrid scene
The commotion you are sending
Should be stopped--soon it is ending
You and me--a private place
So I can scream right in your face
No one around to see me shout
My evil side is coming out
I don't want to be this way
My kindness you are making stray
From inside a gentle girl
But your're wrecking my whole world
Now I have to be untrue
To myself--yelling at you
Words of pure obsecenity
You would not normally see
Me saying but I just can't
Stop this raging inside rant
You seem to be a little scared
I don't think you were prepared
To see my red fury eyes
Burning you back down to size
Next time you will think before
You call me a cheating wh--re

Premium Member My Garden of Gratitude

If things are changing for the
better in you,
Be certain this supernatural
wonderment is happening in
the world, too.

Rejoice, pray and sing.
Even though we look around and
see horrid things.
Find God, in the most negative
circumstances.
Allow your soul to do graceful
soul dances.

Gratitude overcomes negativity,
Even though hurtful emotions be.
Do not worry about anything!
Pray instead about everything.
Tell God what you need!
Ride a strong and hopeful steed.

Now and then, we all feel rejected,
Pray! Pray..God will never let you 
be neglected.

Thankful lives are magical lives!
Our energy and spirit thrives.
You take charge of your emotions.
Pay no mind to worldly commotion.


Pray God for everything and anything.
Your voice will both laugh aloud and 
sing!


No complaining, watch your mouth!
Or honestly, things do go south.
Don't compare yourself to others!
Under this load, I know, how much 
I terribly suffer.

Be content, put your mind at ease,
Or else negativity is a creeping
disease.

On Migrating To America

Migrating to America 
In the age of Aquarius
Envisioning the best from the
Land of opportunity where it’s been said
Streets are paved in gold
Everyone has a white picket fence and
A Chevrolet too

The corner hop served burgers and fries
Soda fountains and milkshakes at the Five and Dime
Teens danced the twist and the mash potato
On American Bandstand
And kids played under open fire hydrants in the city

Black is beautiful…
Short afros large afros and James Brown
Tell the people “Say it loud, I’m black
And I’m proud” Bill Withers on the radio
Singing ‘Lean on Me’ and
Shaft is a ‘Bad mo fo… watch your mouth’

Watts turned into ash driven by black rage combustion
Fed up with police brutality still fresh on everyone’s minds
Jesus Christ is a superstar on Broadway
Harry Krishna and the Moonies in orange
Garbs and shaven heads trying to transcend souls 
With their tambourines
Flower children preaching peace and love
Pot is something you smoke
Hot pants are short shorts
Worn with boots made for walking

And Uncle Sam wants you
He’s giving a free round trip ticket to Vietnam
While young men dodge the draft 

Welcome to a new dawning in the age of Aquarius
Migrating settling in a new land
Leaving behind adolescence and easy island living
For a future to fulfill dreams in a concrete jungle
On migrating to America.


Premium Member It Is All About You

I see your light blue eyes and watch your mouth
I want to believe, I do, I do.
So I smile, it is a tiny bit fixed….
You have no idea, do not notice.
For it is all about you. It always has been.

The lies come easily, you do not blink or flinch.
You are sorry, you will never again. 
You are contrite, sobbing, begging for forgiveness
My bruised, battered face is conflicted.
Do I hold you? Will it make it better? 
What happens if I act like I do not believe?
Will another beating come?

Relieved I am still here, I wrap my arms around you.
Wanting to believe you. This time will be different.
This time you mean it.
My eye is swollen shut. 
I am hoping you will sooth my hair, 
Touch my face, give me a bit of soothing too.
But you can’t.
For it is all about you.
It always is.

Premium Member MY FAVORITE BOOK

The Bible is my favorite book.
It's filled with so much wisdom.
The book was written long ago,
To teach Mankind a system,,


Developed long before The Lord,
Created Time itself.
We really shouldn't leave it there,
Just sitting on the shelf.

The Book of Proverbs is quite blunt,
About the things it says.
Control yourself and watch your mouth,
And even how to dress.

It's filled with common logic,
No fiction, just the facts.
Be kind but don't be foolish.
When speaking use some tact.

It tells you about business deals,
And how to run your house.
It tells you how to find success,
And how to choose a spouse.

When seeking self improvement,
It really is a must.
Who else can one turn to,
If Him you cannot trust.

The stories written in this book,
Are not to entertain.
They're object lessons, give a look,
They weren't put there in vain;

For many more have red this book,
It's really not so lame;
For those of us who read it,
Can swear it keeps us sane.

A Slowing River Still Runs Deep

All I did was blink
and suddenly frail and forgetful
had stolen the vibrancy 
I’d taken for granted. 


Your look still bears that familiar smile
which sparks an ebbing life 
and brightens dimming eyes. 
But when you think
no one’s watching, 


I am…


as this consumptive malaise 
pervades your sagging face
and spirits you off for poppy naps,
the flickering star-light  fades, 
I watch your mouth turn down 
In that soft dreamtime curve
and my heart cries the river
that floats you on eddies
of timeless sleep 


I know a day will come
our connection will be broken
your star gaze will not return 
and I’ll cry a new empty ocean. 


But until then,
in sleep’s folded caress 
a slow river runs calm,
its watery fingers polish 
the unforgettable shine
on the touchstone
of my love, 


hoping its undying spark
reawakens you.

Premium Member Don'T Be Afraid To Be Different

*Don't Be Afraid to be Different*

~Don't be afraid to be different!
Do be afraid to be the same as
everyone else~



I have never understood this insane passion!
But I see it everywhere.
People selling out their souls and
principles like cheap underwear.

Anything. Anything to be loved and accepted. 
Have you seen this insanity, too?
Just keep your true thoughts to yourself, so 
you can be part of the human zoo?

What's so wrong with being you?
You.....like everyone, made by God.
I know the feeling of hush-mouth,
when I want to fully express myself.

God and politics, what's all the
commotion about?
Frankly, because there is only one
God and we were brainwashed to
think anything else.

In politics, only evil rules! 
If you dare speak of success or goodness.
Well, the great sentence placed
on you, is that something is 
terribly off with you?

Free speech in the USA, is but a sliver.
Mention the First Amendment,you
see people's lips quiver.
The march to watch your mouth
is absolutely full-blown.
We poets must develop the courage, 
to make our words stand for freedom 
and to be our very own.

Yes, you may become unpopular in this 
uncomfortable process.
You have to decide whether to wear a cute 
and pretty dress.
Perhaps that is all you are able?
Or don the golden robes of integrity and truth,
that are so divinely impeccable!
