Poems must I write
To get it right
And have my poetry
Break into
The mainstream...

all facts to mislead

Their wool to disguise
—the truth unperceived

I am loud
I am calm
I am nothing
I am everything
I am underground
Loud metallic grunge
I am mainstream
Soft up beat fun
I am classic
Strings emotions sung
I am lost
I am found
I am created
I am sound...

Guess I could be considered mainstream
By no means can I be thought of as extreme
But at times I sure wish
I could give life a twist
Walking down main street making gestures obscene

People mistake my mainstream depression for a sunny disposition.  I am not good enough to be seen with myself.  The girl of my dreams is everywhere and nowhere close.  I'm in love.  Love will kill me.  I am the architect of my own demise.  Stop me...

outside of all the boxes,
dwells the realm of innovation,
uncharted territory,
to be discovered and undiscovered,
once mapped, sucked into the mainstream,
boxed and normalized,
each innovation expands the known,
while also increasing the unknown....

America has been hi-jacked 
By the mainstream media
Reality now distorted,
  —and the truth scorned

Soundbites of political daggers
Impale a Constitution so wounded
Where patriots are held hostage,
  —as Lady Liberty mourns

(Villanova Pennsylvania: November, 2015)...

The lies people believe mount like hills of trash at a dump!
Trees are chopped off the family tree, leaving only a stump
All I can say is, it’s not too late to research for the truth
Save your life and forget the mainstream media’s lying phone booth!

You say I'm never gonna get anywhere
'Cause I live by my own rules
Course I move from here to there
But that don't label me as a fool

I used to cry about being down deep
So deep inside such a big, dark hole
But now, this hole I'd rather keep
Than stuck somewhere so shallow and full...

Those who swim 
                                              on the surface of life
                                          risk drowning if they sink.

M-ainstream of oath
A-ims to promise the heaven; 
R-ace set by God before you
I-s making your soul
O-pen.

V-iew the mainstream of oath, 
A-s you behold and see; 
L-ook at the one right path, 
E-arly fourteenth of February.
N-ever turn away from God and Christ, 
T-o praise and please them both; 
I-t's time for you to complete
N-othing but mainstream of
O-ath....

My dear mother, pray
remember us your children
in so many ways.
Silence, the mainstream
keeps us focused on Someone
God, our source of Life.
Why there is sadness,
joy, victory or failure.
They are part of Life.
Hail to Thee, our God!
Why there is sorrow
trust, triumph or pitfall.
They are part of Life.
Hail to Thee, our God!
hope and cause of existence.
To love and be loved....

power, police and prudence,
the mainstream monsters of mimicry,
like patels of a flower playing far from the fulcrum,
their power derived from dismal points interior,
of state sustainance and centres,
assistants arrayed according,
to authority anchored beyond,
to pry prudence on paupers,
thus pour power like powder,
on supra-orthodox options,
and security sanity perforates without....

You spoke a new language
  of rarefied air
  guided nonchalantly 
  through curving channels of brass

Conduits of cool
  juries of jazz
  floating past soulful valves 
  harbingers of what will come

Slender fingers
  improvising storylines
  magistrates of melancholy
  bailiffs of bop

Miles from the mainstream
  a milestone of 
  modern modalities 
  kind of blue...

I Wasn’t enough to just be myself
I had to be what you wanted of me
Plastic—Mainstream—Liar
Without any creativity
And a façade for a personality

So I Guess I Just Live a Lie
Just to Satisfy
And surely survive
Your torment spitting opinion

but then,

A Semblance of the independence I held inside
No matter how small it let out a cry
I will redeem my pride
And be perfect, free, me

king makers huddle recessed in dark
creators of history shrouded in mystery
old and wisened like great oak trees
internally vibrant cunning and silent

no good deed goes unpunished
dark hands with gold bands
mystery men of renoun
never a sound speak in whispers

comes to them a spark
they feed the spark till it comes aflame
more they say till flames a roar
they plot and scheme hidden away from all mainstream...

Lucid development in the mainstream,
Completely erratic and lazy,
Idiotic to the point where we know no best,
Sing for the moment and get it off your chest,
Roar of the thunder in a clash of clouds,
Smothered in lies with the orchestra sound,
Mix it up right to get instant light,
Which might direct hope, into the correct fight,
Unleashed like the never before,
Here comes the truth, right out the door....

I'm lost deep and loose losing soul,
my center rapt worry frown and iced
set and waiting for the sun to skip
through warping as melt hope revive,
alone as if blue grey turn white,
thickening concluding folly,
stuck cannot, maybe never again
moved deeply in silent surrounds.
Everything will turn spreading,
what came before will become passed,
Everything laughable, discovering
life for what it is,
folly,
mainstream
escape....
