This is not a poem

Simply just want to say
and express my truth
rich are like bad tires
just want to take them of
want to burn them
throw them away
to a place where
tires go to collect the
nasty dirty water
kind of like their blood
same as their hearts
nothing there but bad
nasty air used too many times.

Not a poem



Oooh life yerrr is killing me ooh so softly 
Ooh marshall 
you  seducer  mad user 
your legacy 
And 
Past history 
Ooh yer your crazy crazy 
You find my love and What do you say 
You hurt me 
Why do you 
You hurt me this way 
What do you say 
Not a poem 
It's purgatory 

Oooh life yer is killing me oooh yer so softly
Angels you used to know 
Oooh lost in tbe spirt of a bottle 
Oooh life yer is killjng me 
Oooh so softly
And you blame it all on me 
Not a poem 
It's purgatory 

Your shadow of fear 
Its all in your head 
Deadline Feds 
Dragging me from my bed 
Your chains and walls closing In
Init
In 
Guns and Gangs Street posing 
Deadline Feds in my head 
You get it 
Init
I'm not the only one 
Caught on a bonnet 
Brand
Merch 
Your on it 

Brummm brummmm 

 Oooh life yer is killjng me 
Oooh so softly
And you blame it all on me

Your Guns and Gangs 
They frighten me
 incitement 
Locked in a cell 
The one who took you away 
the one who dragged me to hell
Oooh life yerrr is killing me ooh so softly
Not a poem 
It's purgatory.

I was on the phone when alerts came in with poetry soup listed that my phone blocked 14 tracking attempts!

This has never happened?

BUT  I do know who tracks me here ...so STOP NOW! 

IT HAS BEEN REPORTED.

Update:  The proof is here.

The Guardian Newspaper has the article today about the researchers who have now proven that the toxic chemicals from the E Palestine Train Derailment reached 16 States!  They proved it with samples of snow and rain dispersal. I have been saying all along that I got sick from the snow and my dog too. My dog later died in a year from the toxin exposure. 

Now it is reported in The Hill and ABC news. Breaking news.

Leave of absence This is NOT a poem Just my real life

Hey all I know that I haven't been active on here for a while. I've been having some health issues lately that have been keeping me sidelined. That and trying to mentally prepare for a 7th major spinal fusion operation with revisional repairs to the current hardware already inside of my back. I'm about to be fused from shoulder blades all the way down to my tailbone. That's really going to make moving around fun. Another multi level neck fusion surgery is on the horizon as well. I'm going to be like Michael Keaton's Batman. Having to pivot at the waist for any moment... But I don't know if I can even do that when everything is done.



It's taking a toll on me mentally and emotionally. It's just a lot to process. I'll be back again, but I just don't have the creative juices that I used to right now.



Take care everyone

not a poem but concern for anil deo

Hello Everyone

First, Happy Thanksgiving to one and all who celebrate the day.

Second, does anyone have any information on Anil Deo. 
I'm very concerned and worried about him.
I'm not always active and I'm not sure if I missed anything.
I don't see any activity however.

If anyone has an update or information I would greatly appreciate anything you would be able to share.

Thank You
Peace and Blessings to All

Oh how it feels to be waiting for death 
When you should be enjoying your youth

Notice, Not a Poem

I am relocating all my poems to a new account. I now use an account under Su Ar

This Is Not a Poem

This is verbiage
It is not a poem
And I'm not going to use 
the word like, love, desire, entice, 
tempt, enlighten, spirit, or soul
because this is NOT a poem
This is merely some verbiage
So, I'm going to use the words
however, therefore, I think, I 
believe ( well maybe not); 
the time is at...timeout..
Remember this is verbiage

A Statement Not a Poem:

So these are it. The poems from and 
about my trip. Thanks to all who have
taken the time to read these, and especially
to those who have made comments. I do 
apologize for not reading or commenting on 
other's poetry during this time, but will do so
now that I have "poems from a broad" off my
chest. Thanks to all.

A Statement: Not a Poem

Hello friends and future friends. I hope my 
choice of my poetic form is totally absurd. 
I don't even know what an Epithalamium is; 
so if you are looking for this form, I'm sorry 
to disappoint. I haven't posted in awhile, and 
perhaps it may be a bit instead of me just 
blurting out my mind through my mouth. 
I just got vack from a recent trip to 
Cartagena, Colombia and have been 
writing a collection. 

I am going to title it "poems from a broard"; 
the broad in this case is mi Musa Melissa. 
(Maureen, Melissa said you are beautiful 
and kept saying "weeeeee" [your last comment]

Presently I am trying to organize poems that 
I wrote on my trip as well as a lot written in the 
airport waiting to reluctantly leave Cartagena.

Please por favor keep in mind that I would like 
to present this as if a book; but know only 10 
poems for a period of 24 hours.; so hang in 
there with me and I will start to share. 
Thanks to all the folks I have met here, 
and the folks I hope to meet. Blessings!!!
