Valuable Country

Autumn Morning Country
The Morning Sky Aquamarine.
The Morning Sun Canary.
The Morning Clouds Pearls of White.
The Morning Birds Ruby Light.
The Morning Grass Emerald Green.
The Morning Leaves Smoky Quartz and Peridot.
The Morning Tree Trunks Citrine Light.
The Morning Smears of Snow Opal White.
The Morning Wind Constantly Clear.

Autumn Afternoon Country
The Afternoon Sky Aquamarine.
The Afternoon Sun Bright Canary.
The Afternoon Clouds Pearls of White.
The Afternoon Birds Rainbow Bright.
The Afternoon Grass Emerald Green.
The Afternoon Leaves Garnet Free.
The Afternoon Tree Trunks Heightened Citrine.
The Afternoon Snow Vanishes Away.
The Afternoon Wind Warming Sways.

Autumn Night Country
The Night Sky a Limitless Blanket of Onyx.
The Night Stars Scatters of Clear Diamonds.
The Afternoon Sun Concealed.
The Night Moon Revealed, a Ball of White Pearl.
The Night Clouds Smears of Tahitian Pearls.
The Night Owls Hues of Jasper and Carnelian.
The Night Grass Darkest of Emerald Color.
The Night Leaves Twirling Free in Dark Shadows.
The Night Tree Trunks Pilars of Darkest Citrine.
The Night Snow Heaving Falling of Akoyian Pearls.
The Night Wind Cooling Blows.

I Was, I Am

I was BORN.
I was WELL-READ.
I was POLITICALLY FATED.

I was HISTORICALLY ENTERTAINED.
I was PHYSICALLY RESTRAINED.
I was BIOLOGICALLY STAINED.

I am my VARIOUS WRITINGS.
I am my SPOKEN WORDS.
I am my SILENT THOUGHTS.

I am ORGANIZED.
I am ARTICULATE.
I am PUNCTUATE.
I am GRAMMATICAL.

I am SELF LEARNING.

Third World Terrorist

I Was Born In India.
I Was Born A Girl.
I Was Born With Polio.
I Was  Never Knowing My Biological Mother.
I Was  Never Knowing My Biological Father.
I Am Not A “Third World Terrorist.”				
		
I Was Flown Into the United States.		
I Was Adopted By An American Woman.
I Was Educated By The American Society.
I Was Well Acclimated By The American People.
I Became Documented By The American Government.
I Am Not A “Third World Terrorist.”				
		
I Hate Snakes, Similar To Many Americans.
I Loathe Insects, Parallel To Numerous Americans.
I Revolt Needles, Akin To Countless Americans.
I Disgust Heights, Related To Various Americans.
I Have Many More Phobias Like Most Americans.
I Am Not A “Third World Terrorist.”				
		
I Tolerate The American Justice System.
I Question American Politics.
I Rarely Smoke.
I Seldom Drink.
I Vote Continuously.
I Am Not A “Third World Terrorist.”				
		
I Fear ALL Murderers.
I Dread ALL Rapists.
I Interrogate ALL Impostors.
I Cross Examine ALL “Smoke and Mirrors”.
I Intensely Dislike ALL Felons.
I Am Not A “Third World Terrorist.”

The American Dollar

I vow ALL allegiance to the Monetary Currency of ALL Nations,
Expendable Generations of Fathers, Sons, Mothers and Daughters,
Mother Earth Raped Hourly,
To the Limited Numbers of CRUDE BARRELS,
On Every Street Corner Crooked Politicians,
Profitability EVERLASTINGLY,
The Verdict of Justice Purchasable,
Moreover the Idea of Peace, Laughable,
The Dreams of Hope Categorically Extinct, 
God FOREVER Questioned, Occasionally Observed,
Additionally, Every Man Religiously Persecuted,
Illegal Immigrants are our TIMELESS FOUNDATION.

How To Kill a Monster

When the monster has arrived home from it daily place of employment, 
You simply wait for it to settle into its old worn-out chair.

Then the monster asks for the chilled glass sitting in the refrigerator.

You remove the chilled glass from the refrigerator.

You place the chilled glass on the kitchen counter.

You add a few pieces of ice into the chilled glass.

You finally add half a bottle’s amount of Apricot Brandy 
and watch the monster takes its first nightly sip.

You repeat this process Every Two to Three Hours.

You repeat this process Hour by Hour.

You repeat this process Day after Day.

You repeat this process Week after Week.

You repeat this never ending process Year after Year.

And You Repeat this Process for Fifteen And Counting.

And You Wait for the Shut-Down of the Monster’s Liver.

A Father's Many Gifts

I stand Here in the Darkness, My Arms Crossed Against My Naked Chest.
I Tear Away My Skin and Cast It into the Darkness.
I Tear Away My Muscles and Cast It into the Darkness.
I Tear Away My Tissues and Cast Them into the Darkness.
I Tear Apart My Bones, Grind Them Together and Cast Them into the Darkness.
I Stand Here in the Darkness and My Blood Falls Away.
I Pullout My Brain and Toss It into the Darkness.
I Pullout My Heart and Toss It into the Darkness.
I Pullout My Eyes and Toss Them into the Darkness.
I Rip Off My Ears and Toss Them into the Darkness.
I Rip Off My Lips, Pullout My Tongue, My Teeth and 
All My Vocal Cords Tossing Them into the Darkness.
I Have Given You My Skin so that Man May Have Hardened Earth.
I Have Given You My Muscles so that Man May Have Forged Continents.
I Have Given You My Tissues so that Man May Have Broken Continents.
I Have Given You My Bones so that Man May Have White Frozen Lands.
I Have Given You All My Blood so that Man May Have Wet Oceans.
I Have Given You My Brain so that Man May Have Individual Thoughts.
I Have Given You My Heart so that Man May Be Able to Love Each Other.
I Have Given You My Eyes so that Man May See Each Other.
I Have Given You My Ears so that Man May Hear Each Other.
I Have Given You My Lip, My Tongue, My Teeth 
and All My Vocal Cords so that Man May Speak With Each Other.
Above All These Physical Items I Have Given You A Soul with Definite Shape.
I Have Given You A Soul that Man May Have Religious Individuality.
I Am Your Father And I Love You.
I Want You to Love One Another.

I Am Not

I am PRIMAL.

I am PREHISTORIC.

I am HISTORICAL.

I am TRADITIONAL.

I am EVOLVING.

I AM HUMAN!

I am not a RAPIST, I am not my FOREBEAR.
I am not a TERRITORAL THIEF, I am not my PREDECESSOR.
I am not a MURDERER, I am not my ANCESTOR.
I am not an EMOTIONAL CHARLATAN, I am not my GRANDFATHER.

I am not a RACIST, I am not my FATHER!
I am not a WOMAN ABUSER, I am not my FATHER!
I am not a WOMAN ABANDNOR, I am not my FATHER!
I am not a CHILD ABUSER, I am not my FATHER!
I am not a CHILD ABANDER, I am not my FATHER!

I am not a MAN!

I am ONLY MALE!

I am PURELY BORN.

Word Searching

I Found You there.
I Found You there among copies of the Holy Bible.
I Found You there among copies of Cook Books and Hair Style Magazines.

You Were of Red Paperback Cover and Binding.
You Were 8.0 x 5.3 x 1.2 Inches in Dimensions.
You, within You there Were 448 Pages.
The Categories Vast.

I Purchased You for $1.25.
I Purchased also a Single Package of Five V Ball Grip Extra Fine Pens.
The Colors were of the Primary Source.
Two Black Fine Pens, One Red Fine Pen, One Blue Fine Pen 
and Finally One Single Forest Green Fine Pen.
The Amount of the Pens $2.35 after Taxes.

I Returned Home.
I Started a Load of Laundry.
I Placed Dirty Dishes into the Hot Watered Sink.
I Boiled a Pot of Hot Water for My Hot Chocolate.

Finally, I sat down at my Office Desk.
I Placed You in the Center of my Desk.
I Placed the Hot Water to the Upper Left Corner of my Desk.
I Placed the Five Pens to the Upper Right Corner of my Desk.

I Consider Myself a Great Perfectionist, 
so of course I had in my Possession a Single Ruler.
I would use this Ruler to Cross out Your Words.
I Hate to Risk Creating Undefined Circling to Highlight Your Words.

I Have Lost Countless Minutes and Hours with You.
I Have Lost Countless Days and Weeks with You.
And I Will State Freely and Proudly that I Have Lost Months with You.
You Have Given Me Comfort when the Weather Outside was Cold and Harsh.
You Have Given Me Comfort when the Snow Fell Treacherous Inches.
You Have Given Me Comfort when the Rain Fell without Mercy.
