Maximum Quote

Who knows how to live in fear,
   does not die so soon...
   Who is very brave,
   of fear becomes a slave...

Maximum Quote

Here's the principle
        and the end....
        all without love
        it's nothing... Little with love
         is everything

One day...
  nothing will be
as before:
nor love
of today,
nor the heartache
from yesterday...

My Heart and My Soul

Please let me alone
My heart and my soul
Pollution is everywhere 
The land the sea the food
The mind the body
The heart the soul
The words the behaviour ...
We live with pollution everyday
Boundaryless and invisible
Until to the maximum we fall sick
Until to the limit we leave
There may not be pollution in outer space
Buy there is lifeless
Maybe we have

Maximum Retention

In school, Maxwell never paid attention
Got punished with maximum detention --
  They seized his smartphone
  Maxwell moaned and groaned --
But, Wow! ~ Did it improve his retention!

Turn the Flame To Maximum

I boarded my hot air balloon
And set my sights on high,
I turned the flame to maximum
And headed for the sky.

Below, the land receded
As I joined the mighty blue,
The sky was my ocean,
Heavenwards I flew.

Earthbound things now disappeared
I embraced serenity,
As I sailed the atmosphere
Contentment called on me.

Alone, but not lonely,
Detached, but still aware.
Truly I'd found heaven,
As

Precognition Maximum

Secret knowledge divulged, transportation via Oracle. 
Open your closed minds, decipher the great parable. 
Order out of chaos, alpha point of eternity. 
Mirthful muse master, calling for a return to intimacy. 

Smugness borne of ignorance, case of closed-minded fools. 
Dysfunctional mentality, disregarding laws and rules. 
Invisible fire-mist creatures, sexually perversed. 
Seeking to infect mortals, with

Maximum Security Prison

(This is a fictional poem but life in prison really is horrible.)

A man slept with my girlfriend so I shot him in the face.
Now I'm in a maximum security prison and I hate this place.
Shooting that man was a bad decision.
Now I'm doing life in this prison.

Now my freedom is gone and it really sucks.
