Broadway's shut down
Cannot sense the time There's no need to report And nothing's left to find For the days are now too short No one did remain To see the final act The author went insane When his Face book page was hacked Curtains have come down No encore has been called No refunds will be found Since the ticket sales had stalled Actresses have cried They're quickly unemployed No sympathies...

When The Law Shut Down Your Dreams
In a world where I am Christen Kuikoua, Yet each day, I question if it's truly me. I can act, sing, and model with passion, But my dreams face a relentless decree. Every aspiration met with a crushing sound, As though someone's there to pull me down. It's a daily struggle, a living hell, Where critiques and judgments persist and swell. Like You...

I Wish We Had Known, When We Left, That We Were Leaving
When I left the high school for the last time on Friday, March 13 I thought we’d be closed for a week. Maybe Two. I told my students to enjoy the week off. I didn’t bother saying goodbye to the students I didn’t have that day. I left a water bottle in my room. I left a stack of papers, ungraded. I left a...

Shut Down Button
I dreamt I had a shut down button That switches off the lights in my brain, My mind screen went blank, it was sudden, As if God Himself had cut the main, I closed my eyes and reached Slumberland, 'cross far aways and once upons hurled Wow! That was quicker than a quicksand, Dreams and wishes of a sleeping world, How good it...
