A Separate Experience

.

.

Literature is not

a picture of life,

but is a separate experience

with its own kind of flow

and enhancement.”

the stripes

the stars white

a flag to honor

flowers need water
lack of rain is apparent
what is God planning

Poem:

.

those who can’t, teach
critics who can’t, preach
the human form of the leech

it is so easy to pick on others
done by those who don’t like their mothers
the loners who can’t be like brothers

governments just wanting to placate the herd
politically correct and gender neutral preferred
unfortunately love has become a passé word

woe is the man whose ego is right sized
by the really sick he is totally despised
as a milk toast he is characterized

keep on praying, don’t be afraid
big money has manufactured this charade
they know that there is no free in free trade

there will come a day that no one can predict
one can only hope that it will be a peaceful conflict
hopefully it is the winning side that peace has picked

today, try to make your own choices
be wary of the devil and his many voices
don’t let social media control your devices

don’t teach, don’t preach, share the love
vote for those who believe that there is a God above
and just stay out of the way when push comes to shove

Mind*blowing

.

“When you make music

or write or create,

it’s really your job

to have mind-blowing,

irresponsible, condomless sex

with whatever idea it is

you’re writing about at the time.”

thought
in mind
grow a plan
what will make sense
idea

develop a show
bring the talent together
write a song and dance

plan to awe the audience
end it with a sing along

Poem:

.

what are you thinking of
what are you dreaming of
are you thinking about others
your siblings from other mothers

or are your thoughts always about you
maybe your are a Swift wanna be yahoo
does your mind seek motivation
or do you have a fixation with lachrymation*

poor me, poor me, pour me a drink
or would you be happier dressed in pink
isn’t it wonderful that we have choices
devils and angels, each with their own voices

today, do the next right thing
the choice that will make everyone sing   

     hallelujah                                  (a happy song)
