now
and then
better yet,
once in a while
it's now or never;
a will oer the wisp thing
here today,gone tomorrow
as with yesterday's newspaper
buried deep into today's troubles
My friend,today will soon be tomorrow
if you stop crying into today's beer,
lift your head,see the wood from the trees,
a rolling ball gathers no moss,
stop crying over split milk;
and look at it this way,
you know it makes sense,
get a grip lad;
forgive her,
forget
her
In my eyes we should be grateful
for everything we have in our lives as I am
I am grateful for my family, for having food,
for my friends and education i am getting.
Firstly my family which did so much for my like
Helped me to have a better and brighter future for myself
Also they say first think about yourself then others
But I am the opposite of what they told me.
Besides that I am grateful for having
Food, a roof over my head and a
House where I feel safe in.
We should look at it this way
As not everyone in the world has everything
we have nor do we have everything someone else had.
Being grateful for things you do have makes
You a person who appreciates more things in life.
Also I am grateful for one more thing
My friends and education, For me this is important.
Friend are there for you and education as it is where
I learned a lot of important lessons which will help me in the future
Finally I believe everyone should be grateful for their life and
The time spent with loved ones.
If I remember right
The entrance of the hell was here;
Pig, on the right
Blood, on the left
Body of woman
Limbs, Optic nerves & Osteocyte
must be Doppelganger
Another me;
She sheds blood and tears
The drawers of memories
Already opened;
Doppelganger, another me
Do you bear my burden?
I was looking for you
I was looking for you
We wanted to get along with each other,
But how?
Now, there’s no time to be wasted
Doppelganger, another me
You are bleeding like a pig;
PIG
What a sad word it is
Target of all kinds of criticism and mockery
Wait
Look at it this way
Pacifist
Incarnation of
God
At the end of the hell
We joined hands
And sit on the painted desk
To talk about our future
now
and then
better yet,
once in a while
it's now or never;
a will oer the wisp thing
here today,gone tomorrow
as with yesterday's newspaper
buried deep into today's troubles
My friend,today will soon be tomorrow
if you stop crying into today's beer,
lift your head,see the wood from the trees,
a rolling ball gathers no moss,
stop crying over split milk;
and look at it this way,
you know it makes sense,
get a grip lad;
forgive her,
forget
her
Boogers To You
by M. Griswold
012700
There's all kinds of boogers that come from your snotz
Depending on the weather is the form that you gotz
Also the shape of a nose and the size of the hole
Makes a difference when extracting in part or in whole
Now if you look at it this way or that way you just gotta say
They are an irritation and create a blockage if they stay
Boogers are a nuisance that only get in the way
So ya gotta pluck'm out and flick'm away
There's little ones and soft ones but the big ones I dread
Those are the hefty ones that when pulled flatten your head
Then there's always those stringy boogers that intertwine
You feel their unraveling all the way through your mind
They stick to the hairs and are painful when plucked
Them dried pieces of snotz that are there to obstruct
Boogers itch your snout and sometimes hang about
Embarrassing you most when a friend points them out
Get rid of them all now, right this very moment
Before a friend makes some snide, rude comment
So, here's boogers to my friend in all the pick'n you do
And be sure to blow and wipe cleanly when you’re through
Confined Then Released
At first, my each poem can be confined;
Then came automatically out my mind;
One must read,
That you need,
And a desire to write poem you did find.
I really am so busy writing poems that
I hardly have any time to read those of
others. Look at it this way.
Jim Horn
Look At It This Way
Look at it this way
Son won't show his report card;
What will you do next?
Severely punish;
Send him to bed with no food;
We should do to Trump.
In infantile stage;
Seems to be his latest rage;
Turn book to next page.
Am sure you will find
Trump's idiosyncrasies;
Defense mechanisms.
An inferior complex
And so much low self-esteem;
Always abnormal.
Without any doubt
Should impeach and then throw out;
Wash him from our hair.

“It’s OK to be sad...”
It’s OK to be sad, for then happiness is given its proper perspective;
although it might not seem that way right now, when up feels only
a bit less down.
Down there is not the best place to be, at least when you’re there; but
it gives your feet a place to stand while the hunger pains of sorrow
churn you up inside.
Look at it this way: come what may, up there beckons and calls, a land
of sunlight that you’ll explore in due time, when your tears stop making
the steps all slippery.
And when you walk again on pastures green, with a warm back and
breezy stride, keep a little of the sadness in a box inside just to check on,
now and then.
It’s a reminder of Will Shakespeare’s sage advice to disengage the
gears between the ears (I know it’s hard): Nothing is good or bad but
thinking makes it so.
(I wrote this for my good friend Jeremy, God bless him always)
An inspiration, a motivation.
He's one of my great little creations
The music inside him
is the voice that defines him.
It comes from his soul
and has taken control
and it's brought him so far,
he doesn't know where to go..
I tell him don't worry,
come on, what's the hurry?
Can't you see? to everyone, you look so blurry.
You're way up ahead
and they try to reach you
but you just keep going
like nothing can beat you.
So look at it this way
you're leading them your way
and it's taking them far,
much farther than their way.
So keep going your way
and then guess what I'll say
As you keep coming my way,
I promise that I'll stay.
COPLA DOCE : This Bad Guy World
Of all sins crimes the crying shame
Make one more life damned to the grave
Be yours the last
Don’t kid yourself just playing game
You fell into trap made for knave
No love will last
Look at it this way: make the most
Save pleasure what’s there truly left
That too lasts not
Let the Bad Guys shout out vain boast
All they want is more through MORE theft
Leave them the LOT!

These parent try to tell their kids that they are imuture, but parents dont look at it this way, When a 17(Girl) and a 19(Boy) year old couple take their love to the next level by having a baby and getting married, the parnet thinks they can still control the 17 year old girl, But she doesnt understand how they can tell her what is right and what is wrong, When they make gambleing their top pioratiy. At Least the 17 year old girl and the 19 year old boy doesnt put gambling as their top prioratiy or even think about it. They try to tell her and him what to do with their money and then they have enough balls to ask if they can have money from them and they always say NO because they no where it will go and the parents get mad.... So who is the muture one here in this sitution??? Comment with any advise
When they saw you, they kicked you out of the place.
Nobody inside the joint desires to see your face.
You were found guilty of a patron’s infraction.
Ostracism has been the result of this action.
The house does not want scavengers around the machines.
Taking unclaimed money results in undesirable scenes.
This hotel casino is one you must be passing.
If you are found inside, you will be trespassing.
Well, for something good, look at it this way:
When you go home, you will not be broke today.

better yet,
once in a while
it's now or never;

if you stop crying into today's beer,

EVERY BODY'S NEW YEAR.
There is something, something going on
No one knows it, but something is wrong
Everybody around to end the year
Celebrating this year last cheer
Counting from 10-1, forgetting 2012 is near
The ignorance of this world has hit again.
Spreading happiness through every window pane
Sending hugs and kisses to every friend
Forgetting the feelings of the times we felt insane
Relaxing to the joy we create.
Acting like we enjoyed every day.
Passing smiles on this one day
This day, the whole world celebrates
For this one day we all await
Asking to shake the hands of the ones we hate
Forgetting about the worlds ~2012~ due' date
Cheer from me before it gets too late
10,9,8,7,6,5,4,3,2,,1
Kiss, Kiss, Hug, Hug
Happy new years, everyone!
By-gones~ be bygones
Cheers, cheers, toast your beer.
My new resolutions list is here.
In one blink of the eye its over
And a new year begins..
Look at it this way, we have 365 days.
To say life stinks all over again.
Happy new years to that, my friend!!
