Beware of ranting evangelicals
whose arms reach out like tentacles,
they cry for alms like zealous prophets –
but don’t be fooled
many have been schooled
not to gain believers but prophits....

When Len traveled to Oklahoma

to obtain a ranching diploma

a bull butted him hard

out in the training yard

and he but earned a hematoma.

Inner voice speaks
I dare not push her away
For I have been schooled
Warning Will Robinson!

Not a trick
Not a joke
Absolutely real
My internal voice

Saving me heartache
Keeping me alive
I dare not push her away...

I found this place quite by accident
You see I was reaching out to a stranger
Who schooled me in the form of arts
And she  led me to seek out others
Who, quite naturally, were in tune
with each other, in search of harmony....

We never learned how to read. 
Instead they only censored & cared to mislead. 
They schooled & said this is how you become intelligent. 
Until our minds, bodies & souls started to fight back & we said your reference is giving us the run around and here is the evidence....

Remember summer,
as fun’s residue fades.
Well, try anyway.

Now we live prudent,
virtually schooled lives - it's 
all a million laughs.

Humidity clings, 
grasping, like an ex-lovers
unwanted embrace.

Get your bikini,
hit the pool, frolic - drown school
worries in cool play!...

Help me
He won't wake up these weekends
I came back home
I help him get unsick
Mom runs her usual parade
Dad just watches TV and escapes
He wants to change
But can't make himself rearrange
Disk problems in the back
Ironically im schooled in physical therapy...
he doesnt want to listen to me 
So time putters on indefinitely...

There once was an old lady from Maine.
Born in Virgo, a critic, quite plain,
her zest for punctuation
caused poetic frustration,
but they cared for her all of the same.

While writing one day this fine teacher
met her match a right handsome preacher
he dissected her acts
found her lacking in tact
and schooled her behind the wood bleacher!...

Mis-leaders

The deciders of fate
In whom many have faith
Cocooned in the Ivory tower
Wielding unlimited power
They schooled oversea
But here looting is what they oversee
Their horizon is broad
So they take our wealth abroad
They deserve our applause
And they deserve some awards
For they are un-powering the people
And dis-uniting the nation...

RESPONSIBILITIES FREEDOM

The reality is to be schooled
By the decision that bring 
Unmeasurable responsibilities 
As this survey fountain of service
Because we grow 
When we perceive a will 
Which ensures others goals
For if not so
Resources like time 
Would be consumed 
By delicacies of pleasure
Selfish memories of who we are
Not whom they would have.

She was feral

She was real

And amazingly wild

Long talon like nails

And razor sharp teeth

Eyes like a cat

Born with curiosity

Born so feral, wild and free

Screams like a wildcat

Hear her screech

Best if you stay

Out of her reach

So feral

So individual

Cannot be taught

Tamed or schooled

Feral yet still somehow

Dangerously beautiful....

Houses creep closer together
Inch by foot by yard by mile
Until you see your neighbor smile.

Cities spread their urban sprawl
Hour after month after week
If earth cannot breath, she will speak.

People schooled to grow apart
Given time will graduate 
Into a class of greed and hate.

Clouds that crowd together
Suffocate the blue away
Until the wind blows back the day.

KeyAnna was an absolute exquisite wonderful joy,
Said more than one person, many one after another.
She was simply adored by every girl and boy.
Except her more knowing sister and brother.

They both marveled at how many she had fooled.
Siblings listening to tribute comments about their sis.
Decided the survivors did not need to be schooled.
Her funeral was not the place to out this horrible Miss....

I'm sitting with crayons, all over my desk

Just picked the one, that suited me the best

And It's Blue, blue blue blue blue blue



My coloring book,  lies there open wide

The picture reminds me of you, makes me cry

And I go Boo,  boo hoo hoo hoo hoo



My crying is over when the bell starts to ring

Tomorrow at eight, I'll be doing the same thing

Yes it's True, true true true true true...

Whether her lips are thin or full
It matters not
Shes beautiful

Whether she's street smart or well schooled
It matters not
Shes beautiful

Whether her breast are large or small
It matters not
Shes beautiful

I love 'em short but if she's tall
It matters not
Shes beautiful

Whether her ass is fat or thin
It matters not
Shes beautiful

If my love of women is sin
It matters not
Shes beautiful...

Who says I didn't learn in school
For me it was a lesson cascade
In science class, I learned to draw,
And that it, didn't help my grade

I learned, I liked to look at girls
Which I did too much every day
I managed to catch a girls eye,
Then learned I had nothing to say

Caught looking a little too low
With a smirk, I tried to look cool
Then she suddenly slapped my face!
Who says I didn't learn in school!...

Mercury rolled her eyes and dragged me to my seat
Making me sit there for ten minutes
I tried to sneak away and she caught me
By the seat of my pants

She gave me a kick and I landed on Venus
Venus was not as kind
She had no love for Gemini
That was Mercury’s air sign

I was much more respectful upon my return
A day of cosmic reckoning
That will teach me to behave
Today anyway; my attention span is weak....
