The Mile Long Tree

Kill off the Mile Long Tree
For anyone who cares only cares about everyone
Revelation in mind, we don't feel the same
You should sort through your thick skull, my friend.
Each twig, a secret forever held
Each leaf, a statement never expelled.
My dear dreamcatcher, though my dearest is radical,
You're being ripped out by your roots, big buddy.
You're calling for unhelpful help.

So "Relational Warming" makes headline news
It consecrates our separate views.
They must've gathered some leaves,
And ever too many twigs.
You'll just grow another tree or two
To make up for the 'loss'
You'll just grow some extra foliage,
Replace the grass with moss
You'll just keep on making excuses
And dwell on your own exhaust.
But you're playing vampire in this romance, my darling.
To blame, you have only yourself.
You're dancing a dangerous dance, my dear
You're calling for unhelpful help.

Chaines

Uncooperative 
self reliant
unhelpful or
unwilling to asit
often done to
achieve benevolent
goalies
prioritizing the
well being of others over
the well being of ones self.
_________________________________
A great dancer both were
they made the jealous fool admitt.
Both are great dancers
but I wish him to
quit their alliance
and be part of mine
anything else is seen as
foolish and unproductive.
Due to the rigors of time
and finding love with another
he came to his senses
and reached out to those
who wished him apart of
there dance team
they met, they agreed, they
rehearsed, they developed a routine
something performers
would envy and what audiences
would demand.
They met at the right time
in there life before
they were to mean
from the rigors of experience
to see a future that
would included one another
There next obstacle was
finding the right sound
to be the backdrop
for the Movement of Collaborative
People

Ban Selfies

Message for oldies, 
Fair and fat, selfies delete!
Our faces look fat,
Lard butts expand, beyond gross,
Unhelpful, to say the least!

Un

Unavailable for work,
Unbeatable prices,
Uncertain times.

Undetectable fraud,
Unenviable tasks,
Unfathomable crimes.

Ungrateful children,
Unhelpful comments,
Unintentional consequences.

Unjustified dismissal,
Unkind acts,
Unlimited credit.  

Unmentionable briefs,
Unnecessary accompaniments.
Unopened mail.

Unpronounceable words,
Unquestionable loyalty,
Unreasonable requests.

Unseasonal weather,
Untroubled teenager's,
Unusual behavior.

Unverified reports,
Unwanted attention,
Un-x-rayed patient.

Unyielding bolt,
Un-zesty pizza,
For unproductive people, uninterested in undivided attention.

Impact

Making vague promises. 

To an imaginary audience. 

Smiling even when it is unhelpful. 

Wondering if I am making an impact.

Should I try to impress them?

Or is that simply preventing us from understanding each other?

Making small promises. 

To a patient audience. 

I am no mastermind. 

But I can sometimes make up my mind. 

To try to make an impact. 

As unlikely as it is…

Drop the Past Behind

Why still talk about a Late Mother
No more around with her useful order
And an unhelpful, unfeeling brother
Stretching The Emptiness Farther?

Hard-to-Reclaim time you murder
And A Deprivation take farther
With childish fixation on A Mother,
When a million things would man bother;
The one swift to replace another …

A past not dropped shuts a border
And makes one to not two wires solder …

Then, one should the past leave behind
Or in snatches bring them to mind.

Our Life of Cheap Pretence

Our Life of Cheap pretense 
We could watch through a lens 
For its failures to yield us a half pence 
Or deliver crisp commonsense;
One’s decided airs of pretense 
A mere sitting on the fence,
As one feels not life as it is tense 
Nor The Original Writer help his pens…

I’d start questioning the essence
Of A Talkative playing reticence 
Of the-choking-with-diffidence 
Enacting Mr. President’s confidence.

Every man to the nearest lens
For his rowed-like-a-boat pretense, 
In glass and water mirrors 
Picking all its unhelpful errors.

What Used To Help

The strategies that worked just a week ago. 

Now are unhelpful as my fear decides to flow. 

And so do my thoughts which are no longer churning out reality. 

Just a while back- music would spur normality. 

But now the notes haunt me, like laughter that evolves. 

From friendly laughter, to crowing crowds that refuse to absolve. 

The ways I studied in order to cope. 

Are now ineffective as my mind is sloped.

Lies

Utterances people could like garments wear,
Except that they look the more naked;
Voiced ideas their hearers could bear
But much like the cruel whip of the wicked,
Their glad receivers betray a 'mental slackness
And are fetched a thickening darkness.

Confidential documents you could file,
Save that file jackets would keep laughing at you
Quite sure you 'd gone a crazy mile
With that which had turned out of the blue.

Lies every patience tries
And arrives away the Truth flies:
Lies are a southern pole to Northern Truth,
Never failing to dovetail into its halves;
To every man unhelpful like an aching tooth
What even a moron hears and violently laughs.

A Heroin Ever Plasured Delightful-

you find so many people are slighting
But you, you are mostly exciting
ever pleasured delightful

I like the way you seek
Mercy upon the steep
Steep, steep hills you retreat

You find so many people are unhelpful
But you, you are mostly helpful
You come on to the rescue

Of those whom are down trodden
You are a heroin 
A female hero delightful

many people are slighting
ever so you are ever, so ever pleasured delightful

Spare Tire

Spare tire is kept available
As an urgent need replacement
To a dead flat rubber cushion
Of a wagon off the pavement.

A spare tire is an excess fat
Around someone's heavy waistline; 
If girl gets rid of this thickness, 
Then her figure shall be just fine.

Spare tire is an unneeded or 
Unproductive and rude person; 
Unhelpful to the guild or group, 
His life is brought to oblivion.

Spare tire is a male or female
That you gladly carry with you 
On dinner date to rely on
If the meeting sadly falls through.

Carried in cars all of the time, 
Full of air that doesn't expire; 
It‘s important to be having
An extra or a new spare tire.

Writers Block

Damn this Writers block, 
Need an electric shock,
Not even the alarm clock, 
Can wake my inner stock. 

Wait a second, something just Entered my mind
Nay it is but a flicker,  from the lamp behind 
Go to read the newspaper, every page is stuck, 
As with my grey matter, I’m having little luck. 

Damn this writers block, 
How can I unlock,
All I hear is the clock,
Unhelpful going, tick tock. 

Thoughts race inside me,  progress is very slow 
I grow weary from the effort, precious little to show 
I’m lost in a desert, or perhaps all at sea
Is there any difference, my page remains ink free. 

Damn this writers block,
No key can unlock,
I only hear the clock,
Unlike me It works, tick tock.

Hand-Me-Downs

You started out in life just like me
hanging around in hand-me-downs
from your family
Some were nice, like
your daddy's dimples when you smile
or your mama's almond shaped eyes
While others were unfortunate
like your grandma's testy temper
or your uncle Earl's ears

But not all of these
hand-me-downs
are permanent
Some you will hopefully
change out of and
replace as you get older...

Like others' unhealthy attitudes
unhelpful coping mechanisms
uneducated assumptions
about other people
or the world at large

Your perspective
how you choose to see the world
is as changeable as a pair
of cheap sunglasses
so if they ever
hinder your view- toss them out!
And get some new
glasses that fully fit
in a style that expresses
the person you truly want to
become

The Devil

He comes like darkness, scaring of lights
His masked mono eye, delivering bad luck
As he turns to search, he nourishes souls with
Insincerity laziness robbery, jealousy profanity

When he meets ministers, from their cabinet offices
Right on the date of sevens, his tackle he evens
Their feet he entroubles, their heads he encounters
Hypocrisy pretense blasphemy, envy unchaste injustice

When he destroys the bodies, the souls as he teases
His might stout in less, ashamed to hand the corpse
That swells without value, and bursts to turn soil
Unhelpful embarrassed panic, broke endless endeavors

Quadraphonic ***

Mongoose can rarely tell the time. It is relevant to in flight formation to adjust the seconds using buffalo horns. Wild driving of a boat by a dalmatian on a sunset lake. Spots are great. They talk to the clown fish. And using wind wipers in dust is just not very practical. It just causes disturbance to the passing wings of gala bugs who gather in frequency at bull parades. But always at low altitudes as attitudes can be additional structures whose ******** is often not a purpose. Poach a duck? How absurd. Tree style formation in stamping flapping grinning hooded dance. Try not to fall into a biscuit tin when spinning. It is not very interesting. Shapes are ships and ships rise so don't contact Michigan mouse as it is unhelpful and uncaring and will not pack the apples into the correct pattern. Fear not. Feed not. Fraternity with frogs no no no. Potent is portrayal but powers stem from rocks and branches. Quadratic clouds. Symbology. *** quadraphonic *** hexagons'. Haha mishpah xxxx havens. *** clap.*** done. A sub consciousness soil erupting out then gone. Whoosh. ***
