Premium MemberA Funny Time To Learn

It is a daunting task they ask of me,
Brittle as I am,
A lovely mustard color,
Flitting in the autumn breeze,
Like some Marilyn Monroe of leaves.

They expect me to jump.
The one's that haven't jumped yet.

I've seen they others that have jumped.
Once they hit the ground 
They just flop about at best.
Not a good look!

Okay, okay I'm going!
My destiny, they say it is.

There are theories of an updraft.
Shoot you up to higher branch-CHAS!

It happened. I'm falling. Like a leaf.
Cuz I am one.

Oof! Great now I'll flop about like the rest.
This is humiliat-oh here comes a worm
Sliding up my stem in a real
Don't mind if I do manner.

Trying to burrow through
Mmmm--now I get it.

We're all connected.
It's all connected.

I'm not just me.
I'm the whole planet.
What a funny time to learn.

Concealed Reality

"Truth shall always prevail", 
... Or so I have heard. 
It's merely been a year, 
Yet, can't seem to recover. 

Crying for help? 
"Oof, grow up" they'll scoff. 
Lo and behold! 
The mask of deception... I found. 

Been an open book for over a decade, 
It Can't be that knackering to tell a lie to someone's face. 
Aeons and aeons thereafter, 
Pretending seems to have adjusted herself, 
to my life with a knowing laughter. 

"Heyy everything good?" they'd pry, 
"Oh just wonderful", I'd smile and blatantly lie. 
It has been a while you know, 
Since I've seen the true face of reality. 
Now that I yearn for it, 
I just wanna get rid of this morality. 

It's too late at this point, 
Venturing further will make me paranoid. 
To conclude this on a "factual" note, 
This world houses wolves in sheep's clothes. 

I twist and turn in my sleep, 
Baffled by the fact of this mystery. 
How in the universe were we blind, 
To see the true nature of OUR kind. 

I stand here,
And I solemnly declare:
There's a concealed reality,
Of which we remain unaware.

Shall He Get Fired

Shall he get fired,

Maybe its time to see where this life leads me, His music was on, Lindsay Stirling to start it off, following some form of rap, and then METAL! Oooh wait and dumbstep:(.

Oof I am on my ass! 
Oof where to go?
Hmm, 
Larry was watching me shoot,
Was he confused, in love, curious?
Snooker is something I fell in love with.
You treating a former employee like dirt is cute.
However, we can go outback and discuss it?
He felt ballsy so what?
So what!
A thrill with a bit of hustle is needed, yet when under those types of moments, one should NEVER pop or pip up!
Stay down and stay firm!
"May your sight be steady and your aim be true."
Thanks brother for the games, and love.

Forever in gulfed into a peaceful tomorrow, How far can I lean into it? Or until death do me part, *grabs cue stick*
You are my lover.
Any who encounter love or hate; sometimes both ????

Needless to say when He is on that table he is only devoloping something better than himself."use the light."

Examophobia

oh, my peer! the exam is coming near,
 my mind is full of fear, 
eyes are giving the drop of tear, 
why exam comes every year,
it always takes away my cheer,
oof! these tensions, I can’t bear,
the one thing I want to clear, 
that next exam I will not appear,
well, it's not a single way to my career,
let others think, I am insincere 
because now I don’t care

Limiting Self

Limiting self


Limiting self in the bed, covering with blanket
I dismissed all program of that night
Business and busy became such itches
That those always ordered to keep tight, tight

Companion mind tried to understand, yes
But wisdom opened eyes, why should rest
Disturbing all case putting files in shelves
Tomorrow is uncertain in childhood taught

Get up early in the morning and run for present
Learning such piece of showcase moulding  
In the corner of brain such deposits down deep
Ran whole youth life in spirit and vibrant

Now following idle ideology of mind
Put aside the easy and busy life of present
Case into the sheet of bed as weeds in stone
How far creepy thought crawled to ravage

Oof! One day's desire of lying rest in bed
Gives clinches with different millions
When eye closed and took sleep that night 
God knows I cannot put long elaborate.

Oof

Oof

Don’t put your view all are blind
They can’t see ten or nine
They have determined they can find
Solution is already all know shrine

Bereave is not necessity it always dawns
Scarce barks all the day as unwelcome guest
Put your disguise on your veil
All viewed your deceitful hay

Shame on you for being that that
Looting always day by day
Poor creatures are suffocating
Swallowing your poisonous play.

The Volleyball Game

As I enter the volleyball game
I hear
The hustle and bustle of the crowd
Shuffling towards their seats.
Everyone settled. The audience marvel and chit-chat.
The judge raises his hand.
A hush fall over the crowd.
“Whree-” the game starts.
Pitter patter pitter patter pitter patter- Boof!
The ball sails over the net and is
Bopped gently back.
It’s tossed high and
Bam!
It’s a goal.
The spectators roar, and some sigh.
Pitter patter pitter patter pitter patter- oof!
The ball hits the net. 
Some cheer, some huff.
This goes on until the last goal is scored-Thump!
The crowd squeals and laughter rings with claps.
The winning team’s shoes skeet as they run
And thump each other’s backs, bursting with laughs.
The losing team pads back with sniffs and sobs
But swears to take revenge.

A Fine Postcard

In my collection
    a card oof Martin Luther King
    has taken its posistion among the other cards
I have bought or traded for
Shot down like a dog 
     He tried to bring peace to a harsh, troubled world
Died young
     He knew what he was getting into when he 
began to agitate 
   He is missed by many
Martin Luther King

The Children of Israel - Chapter 17, Verses 23-24, Holy Koran

And your Lord has commanded that
You should not worship but Him
And treat your parents well with high esteem
If one or both of them
Reach old age with you
Don’t even say to them “Oof!” in annoyance
And don’t call them names
And politely speak to them.

And be gentle to them
And be kind to them
And say, O my Lord!
Please be kind to them
Since they brought me up
And a kid I was then.

Paradise

Sandy grounds and tidlewaves,
It's the perfect place to be on sunny days,
Shovels and pails, sea stars and snails,
And LIttle Mermaid ocean tales.
As cruise ships and tug boats sail the seas,
Tourists relax, happy as can be,
Crystal blue waters lay before their eyes,
A perfect match for the aqua blue skies.
Many creatures roam the sea,
There are lots to be uncovered,
Who knows what next this secret place,
Has yet to be discoverd.
Children play along the coast,
As dolphins jump for joy,
THis special place is tons oof fun,
For every girl and boy.
Palm trees sway in the gentle breeze,
As people are water skiing,
The beach is the perfect paradise for any human being.
