Between fingers, the 
red sips on. A mash mellow 
heart is squashed.
I bring pain with me, I break
hearts. I have broken again.

It is the same as 2.54 inches.
It is part of the metric system,
Which is also called a SI unit.
This type of measure is more accurate,
Than the English or U.S. customary.
Scientists use SI units or metrics system,
Unvoluntary....

She asked me how much I loved her
So I started to count
She asked me what I was counting
So I said the units would mount
She asked me the worth of each unit
So I said a million pounds
She asked me what I was counting
So I said the freckles she has...

I have become a fat chair potato
It would be nice to be a tomato
Maybe a chili pepper hot
Or habanero wrought
Anything else to end this trapped woe

Betrayal

Wakey, wakey Joe. 
Wake up JOE! We’re at war,
and you’re letting them cross the border
good people, bad people, Russian sleeper cell units
and Chinese spies; or just maybe,
you’re a compromised American accepting bribes
or a communist in disguise?...

my gold standard dips
monetary units fall
what was once worth a lot
is worth little at all
inflation reigns
the black market profits
blood diamonds from Africa
trade high on the market
as I slip into poverty
my portfolio crashes
you are living in luxury
made rich on advances...

Sweetly scented dreams
Now, caste upon breath of wind
Pleasant reminders
of the blessed life we have shared
My dear prince -- love has no bounds

Boom!!!
Everything goes flying
In the room!!
Units multiplying
Let me zoom
In on the carnage caused
From blown up pieces
Tossed abroad
Now it ceases

How powerful the wrecking crew
Imagining it's all about you
Now lessen your anger justly so
Make sure you're never left below

The Dynamite!...

We linked into the truth
Saw what was there
Heard the voices rage
As their secrets were laid bare
We broke into the code
Saw what's new and old
Always been the same
Until we meet again
The units quantifying life
Show history is built upon lies
Show people that were there are here
Do we never really disappear?...

signal frequencies
of rising time
decaying values
of motion
bright yellow sun
spreads its wings
we are burning
in virgin love
space coils into a
deep slumber
we are growing up
under gigantic trees
of wisdom and patience
fifth dimension
beckons controlling
the units of saw toothed
virtues dropping
arent we slaves here
of time and space...

Converting within the SI units,
Or metric system,
Is not a tough task.
How do you begin?
There are 2 ways,
That I know,
Dimensional analysis,
By using the powers of ten,
Or moving the decimal by,
Using this acronym,
KHDDCM-
King Henry Died Don't Call Me,
Or King Henry Died Drinking Chocolate Milk.
Which one do you use?
Use the one that is easier to you....

Praise those numbers on the chart
weighing low made me reed trim - 
dear calories I've come this far
oily food intake quelled my buldge.

Now,two thousand units of energy
means lettuce, celery servings a day,
and though anorexia is my mantra,
I'm calorifically grateful, but hamburger deprived.

Some Pacific islanders are all alone.
For money, they use big heavy pieces of stone.
The island of Yap is where they conduct this trade.
To live here, I would be a bit afraid.
It seems only the strongest people would be rich.
Hauling those monetary units would be a *****.
I hope I never land here if I am cast adrift.
If I do, where can I rent a forklift?

Uncommon Man

hard hat 
lunch bucket
high steel walker
at home where eagles soar.

mole, in pits and holes
deep, dark cracking stone
labyrinth’s glitter.

salt stained, rocking seas
tread her whims
for silver glint glimmer.

nine to five, three shift
two shift
blue denim Atlas
balances the World.

vilified, patronized
then dehumanized
into work units
commerce engine
used up, spat out
but they abide....

Auschwitz 
Only following orders

Pushing corpses into the oven 
Living now my only thought
Survival keeping my uniform clean

I only did what I was told
Loading bodies of the dead 
Once bold soul now weak bought n sold


Auschwitz 
Only following orders


Sonderkommandos were work units of Nazi death camp prisoners, composed almost entirely of Jews, who were forced, on threat of their own deaths, to aid with the disposal of gas chamber....

The pandemic cuts a long swathe
through the human population,
bodies gathered and scattered
through emergency rooms,
intensive care units, and
long lines of refrigerator trucks
patiently waiting its human cargo.
So many dead, many unknown, 
Seemingly forgotten by family and friends,
Their funeral, the quiet ride
To a massive pauper’s grave.
Though forgotten by humanity, 
not so by the One who loves 
and named them at conception....

We, the citizenry as a whole, cannot successfully coexist peacefully. Family units, as a whole, cannot exist peacefully. Isn’t it hypocritical to expect more than we can do, from world leaders, The same as us, except for rank. Until they feel the pain, and suffering, of those they govern, they will continue to sacrifice lives, and create hardships in others, in the name of righteousness, as easy as cutting chattel, from the seemingly never ending stalks of wheat....

"Colors often interact-intertwine describing the relationship between-among musical sounds while sounds cannot just do without reverberating-complementing-reflecting-portraying colors in their behavior"

“Music at its peak is an inevitable illumination for all to see”

“Colors are the simplest units of sounds”...
