Helping A Stranger
It's not like baseball.
I will not take a side or join a team.
We are all part of each others life.
We are a community, we are a species that could not survive without each other.
So pick your battles, make your line that is not to be crossed.
And I'll cross, not for a fight but for a friend.
It is my right to help you as much them.
In all things equal and fair till the very end.
Even if I'm not given the same common curtsy.
It is not and eye for eye but instead a give and take.
Your generosity might not be rewarded today or tomorrow.
But someday you might need help from that stranger and he will remember your name.

Uncontrollable Shaking
I can't get my hands and body to stop shaking
Yeah I'm that upset
Yeah I'm that offended
Yeah I'm that hurt
Yeah I'm that humiliated
I want to hide
I want to bury my head under the sand
I want to travel back to my world
The one in which I'm strong
The one in which I belong
The one in which it doesn't feel so wrong
If they only felt it as I do
They have no clue what I'm going through
Desperation in a senseless fashion
A million different reactions
But which is the right one
a burnt and melted hand
Between a hot stove and pan
The skin blisters with blood pooling inside as puss was oozing
Soon it'll be released as will I

When I put in black and white for you to read and you don't...
When I put it black and white for you too read.
And you don't
With a message you plant a seed
To grow it won't
To ask such a vague question
An expect me respond.
Well how about a question to the question as a lesson
When I put it in black and white for you to read
And you don't
Don't expect me to believe
No I won't
I have no willingness to take part in the frivolous
Even if it is from the anonymous
I say stupendous, another rejected letter
Lets surround it with hearts and feathers
When I put in black and white for you to read

No Longer Waiting
As these grey clouds come to surround me.
To choke the life out of me.
I've come to realize with a knife I can cut right through.
Cover my mouth and keep moving.
Hold my breath if only for a moment I stop breathing.
Why did they come?
Why do they want what I have?
Shark infested waters.
All I can see is their dorsal fins.
But I still know they are there.
Waiting for the right moment to strike.
I can not help but to want to stab them with a pike.
An urge resisted, and avoided.
Thoughts of this now completely devoid.
An emptying of a trashcan not quite yet filled.
Never the less it is enough.
That I must no longer wait.

Burnt Out
Being pesronally objective can be down right impossible.
With past experiences making us who we are.
All judgements are clouded, by somekind of bias.
Some are not any less wrong.
But in the face adversity, it is the seconds before a decision is made that are the most important.
And who has the right to judge those put in that position.
All we can we do is remove them and say it is not your fault.
We expected you to do something we ourselves would have extreme difficulty with.
You did us an honor, with courage, and an unkeen ability to keep down your emotions.
Now it is somebody else turn.
Let us do you atleast that favor.

The Child in Us All
Children we are all
When it comes to love
When it comes to the fall
Games need to be played
For in the world of games comes pleasure
Its good to take measure
Common place in our homes
It reminds us we are not alone
When it becomes hated and ill related
We are lost in the seriousness of forgetfulness
Where we came from
Who we are
A constant reminder
We can't let it drift to far
Look at the shining star
Tell me what you see
Is it the child in me
It gives me the power to believe
When others will not
They say let it die and rot

Lexy
My dog Lexy
Such a precious member of the family
She bring me up when I feel so down.
She is only 7 years old
And distemper is making her cold
A sickness in which there is no cure
A sickness in which hurts me all the more
three to twenty one days
is the time in which a decision will have to be made
put her down and end the suffering
or take the chance that she fights it off
She is my dog
She is so pretty, obident, and energetic
Or at least she use to be
Its pathetic with all the cure in the world
That we still have to watch those we love die
It was her time some would say
Does that make any more okay

Faded Sunset
Demanding for peace, is like demanding for a war to end.
With one voice it just doesn't happen.
A thousand hearts scream it every day.
As if it's last breath breathing.
As if a demon is inflicting unending suffering upon them.
Still they won't quit or be silenced.
The echo's of the forgotten.
A sound that continues to bonce off wall after wall.
With no one listening.
A poet's worse enemy.
The silence in which he speaks.
As if to say your but fool wasting your time.
Abandon are your rhymes.
Hollow are their meanings.
You won't help anyone.
With spirits un-lifted.
And dreams denied.
It becomes just another part of a faded sunset.

When in Doubt (SHOUT!)
One worries about some misguided fool will taking your words out of context.
Let my artistic work not be a banner to wave.
For I do not wish one to thrust them selves into darkness.
But content is read, and given certain dues.
By those who represent you.
So when you see something needs to be advised of its meaning.
They edit and revert to original.
Why befuddled?
Again I don't understand.
Not the first time, or last time.
I have no rebuttal.
For they don't even answer me.
Yet they put me up front.
I guess I have attitude problems.
We all have our issues to worked out.
I will solve mine sooner or later.
When in doubt (SHOUT!) .

What If He's Not Dead?
I exist, I am not dead, therefore
I am now on here.
As things change so do I.
I never have been much for social networking.
As much as I use computers, I am always the last to come and the last to leave.
Patience is a virtue not a pipe dream.
I am here in presence, but does that mean I am really here?
The perception of pretense is always open for interpretation.
I'll give you the right to ask, just as I have the right not to answer.
The phone continues to ring but the voice mail is never reached.
I beseech you to please tell me who is it is exactly your trying to get hold of? .
If I know him you'll be the first to know.
