Eating Dirt
To say I'm sorry never feels enough.
Accepting a gift from those I hurt.
How can I, why would I.
Do I walk away in shame.
Of face it and who I am.
I feel like a man whose leg has went lame.
No longer do I walk in a strut.
But a limp because of what I know.
People who give with past dues never being paid.
Never speaking of the pain from what has been past said.
Fearful of those who will not accept criticism.
I'm falling down the same path of antisocial behaviour.
Stay away from me because all I will do is hurt you.
A feeling I'll never forget and always regret.
But the damages done I won't make plea at a loss of dignity.
I will not eat dirt for what you feel.

Did I satisfy
To satisfy the needs of others
I take a step and look at it from their position.
A difficult task indeed.
But its part the minds creativity
Its the way it works its not magic.
I'm not as you speak.
Never claimed it.
You don't scare me.
I won't just die and wilt away
I'm here to stay.
Like it or not
We share these grassy plains
As angry as you feel.
Remember this is everyone's house
Not just yours
No matter the amount of awards.
A leader of what.
Misery and suffering.
Belittle others to the breaking point.
Well I'm the man at this door who stands guard.

What Is A Fraud?
Interests of the people should always be conveyed as a whole.
While divisions indeed do exist, we can not let a select elite few dictate the choices for us all.
For the majority not a minority.
Let there be no seniority.
A special interests to those deemed appropriate by the paper strewn across the sky.
Which keeps being printed with no consequences in mind.
A ride that the lines keep getting longer each time.i
Soon no one will come for the wait itself because it is not worth the debate.
When the accomplishments are of a single entity with no defining merits of legitimacy.
The meaning of one word defines a lie spread abroad.
That is what we all know as a fraud.

The Ones Who Are Silent
So I scare you..
I don't know why?
It is true like it or not.
Censor those ones if you like.
But it is happening right now.
And as a peaceful American I won't incite or disembowel.
I don't have to.
It already is happening right now.
Wall street has been under siege for the past two weeks.
They follow money.
They follow the greed.
And they're angry.
Why won't you let me tell their story?
You can't stop people from communicating.
No matter how much you would like to.
Am to become a public enemy for speaking.
What about my first amendment right.
Means nothing cause this is a world stage.
You shouldn't be scared of the ones you hear.
But instead the ones you don't.

Reputation and Vulgarities
A tongue is meant to be used in all honesty, no matter the reputation if some truth exist in the proclamation.
Vulgarities exist in all languages.
And can be used many ways.
Some are okay I say.
One should not be afraid.
Of opening ones mouth.
Just because some one think what you say is dirty and mean.
Cheap and unclean,
They don't have to listen.
It all about the choice as we use our eyes to eat.
Engulfed in a book full of deceit.
Does that mean it has been compromised.
Put it on the ban list cause in our world that don't exist.
Denial of a reality right in front of you.
I say how could you.
To deny one the right of speech just because you consider it indecent.

(Father&Writer Poem) A Coversation
The teacher speaks of quotes and double quotes.
I think hes right.
Not to put myself in the spotlight.
My grammar is lacking
I am still interacting.
Learning only so slow.
In then out.
It's a midnight show.
We keep moving on.
Put it in reverse.
Lets go backwards.
Down to the first word of a thought.
'What was that my son? ''
It was dad.
Doesn't that make you sad?
Already gone, and still here.
He says, 'Everyone should have a job right now.'
Well if their being so handed out 'where's mine'? .
No last words.
Silence filled the room.

Misleading Literacy
What is the purpose behind literacy?
It's not a question of authority in the words they speak
But instead what do they teach?
The falsification of a past history can be misleading, of this I can totally agree.
Does this mean we deny them the equal right to write.
Because they lied about their qualifications.
I have no degree, I have no money, therefore I don't get seen.
I could be the best in the world but still you won't even look at me.
So comes the defeat.
But in deceit some succeed.
To survive by being a cheat.
If I'm not accomplished some day I might just be.
If patients is given its dues.
But it is a question of who can afford to.
Those with a true virtue do.

If I Only Had A Little More Time.
Dear sir, will you read and comment on my poem?
I think if I have time to with so many request most of the time I just read poems as a see them on the website.
Can we do that instead.
Or how how I browse all your poems and pick one that catches my eye?
Why can't I choose when I have the time?
Its not that I don't like these authors I really do.
I would read everyone they wrote given a chance.
But my goodness I work 12 hrs out of the day usually.
And if not working I'm either helping friend repair his home from the flood, or building another computer from old junk computers, or I'm writing.
Can you see how I have a hard time fitting that in always on a constant basis?

(Computer Poem) A Languages Design
Learning yet another language.
The computer speaks in formulas and equations
Decoding it down to the very design.
Working backwards and seeing what you find.
Read the books and invent it as your own.
Make a claim so bold.
Look I think you found gold.
Perfection in the code.
With a vision sewed.
You put it up with an upload.
You have just shared it with all the world.
Never appreciated as the work you put into.
The click without understanding what that took.
Never a second look.
No template will do.
For as an artist work.
It must be done from scratch.
A skeleton at first.
Ugly is it curse.
But slowly it changes.

The Room Gets Smaller
The room keeps getting smaller. What did I do this time? Logic is dead and gone. And time continues to move on. The room keeps getting smaller. No its not fine. I hurt someone very close and I was forewarned. Its was a mistake that created heart break. And the room get smaller. Yes I'm out of my mined. My failures are so large that I have fallen so far under par. A forty foot latter isn't high enough. God how this is going to get rough. And the room gets smaller smaller and smaller till it totters to the brink of collapse and I see the death of others coming. Its a domino effect that I created because I was too desperate. I paid the ultimate price of an unwanted sacrifice.
