desolation avenue

dare to do what you really should,
even if it means sacrificing your goals,
surprised by the good results,
or suffering to make someone else
live a little easier,
accumulation of the last giving act
that comes in a person’s existence and
increases that individuals desire to be alive,
on the day that small troubles seem giant and
none of the giant problems seem stoppable,
around tempestuous years of
vetting the ignorant and mean out of the system,
endure to make the future better for others,
now is the time to rise up and fight,
use the persistence that dwells inside,
every day you shine in my eyes

final discoveries

for those who do not know,
into the future they will roam,
not knowing this terror while they go out,
and those unaware are the favorite prey,
like a rabbit who does not see,
dark eyes of an owl who was flying-in-wait,
increasing awareness to assist wariness,
sometimes it only pays off to stay safeguarded,
coming into the realm of too many greedy ones,
overlooked this raising up of the standards,
vital to the future of the entire planet,
evidentially not all people were raised
ready to accept the variety of people in the world,
institutions break more day by day,
even the moon disappears once a month,
sometimes you have to hold up a mirror to save souls

playing dead today

part of being the person they think you are is
letting the mask they put on you happen,
after last year they might have some fear,
you never know when things get
insane and then you must deal with that, my dear,
nearby the collected
giants of consumption are very
dedicated to the greed that made them,
even though that
allows the frustration to find this correct target,
dying people all around the
tortured societies get to feel the effects,
organized for the benefit of deadened souls,
defined by the deceit in unkindness,
as you escape the ignorant unworthy,
your enlightened mind knows what it needs

knocking on doorstep

kitchen has the
needed amount of time spent and
opportunities for all the spicy experiments
collecting those bits to
keep the construction of morning flowing
imitating someone who is far more awake
near the sunbeam that even looks like a yawn
get in a stretch and then
open the eyes real wide for a second
now put ice cream in the coffee
dig in the pantry for the right components
over in the window smiles a flower
on the counter is a plate with cheese
right next to the glass with the circular ice cube
surely the winter is almost over
then we begin to go have fun
every place that shows a bloom
playing hard after working harder

desired quenching

dismay is when you think too much
endure your own mind’s over-allowances
sometimes being analytical
is less of a friend and more of a hinderance
reveal the more opened-up-spirit in there somewhere
everyone needs compliments more than critiques
does the niceness seem not needed or
questions are what you give back more than answers
until you deal with your issues nobody else can
entire months can be wasted
now that the closeness has been confirmed
coming in from the cold is more comforting
having just enough patience to walk
into the moments when the words flow
near those silent moments when you have to ask
get over any disagreements and you will live longer

remember issues

right now there is a wave coming
everywhere in this country a rising up
making those who want to rule be worried
endure the hour to change the whole week
more and more the sides are being chosen
but if you aren’t on everyone’s side
even the underdog will gang up on you
release your expectations
even if you carried them over from the past
surprise yourself by being conscious and aware
so that you’re able to see the enemies out there
under the same sky are all those same people
each hurting but still finding a way to get by
slow down and be where you are

rotting vegitation

riots show that a system is not working
one change is not all that is needed
the whole machine is broken
there are people who thrive
in the chaos of a scattered puzzle
not a single worker is outside the radar
get on board or be prepared
very sure the social earthquake is coming
each day the rumbles gather strength
getting closer and closer to our front door
in every city, small town and suburb
tests of our reasons are being revealed
after what has happened there is no going back
take my word for it, the tide is rising
if society starts processing it rarely stops
off in the distance a new moon rises
now is the time of change

confirmation days

come inside and lets tak for a minute
offer you my most recent leftovers
nobody gets much time with me anymore
for now i will meet with people
interested in getting time and
ready to put forth the effort required
making my self available to only my interests now
acquired tastes like hanging out along
take a moment to make sure you didnt get used to it
if you make someone smile
only for the joy you bring then
never give up trying to be a positive influence
drive myself to be the shining light
and then reach out to help whomever needs it
you only get ahead by taking the right steps
save yourself by saving others

sweet resistance

soft like a spring breeze
when the first warm breaks
easily out of the upper elevations and
eases its way warily from up on high
taming the landscape after the freeze departs
remind tha plants that
every death must be followed by rebirth
somewhere deep in the earth
it is a message that is received
sleepy animals rise to greet the warm
then grumble and begin to forage slowly again
across the land all things look forward to a bloom
near and far, the
coming year will be a strong shift
every cause comes with an effect

broken portraits

She is active, calculating in photographic images.
I am less activated, outlining in cloudy impressions.
She becomes quick, trusting these video stills.
I become dull, misbelieving my busted camera.
She mistrusts her belief in her pictured observing, and there is faith in that self doubt.
I see not to distrust, yet I don’t assume from facts in broken portraits.
Questioning her revelations, she forgets why she asked herself.
Answering my revelations, I forget what the questions were.
When proof fails her, she doubts everything.
When proof fails me, I am correct again.
She continues fast and sharp, in her clarity.
I continue boring and less fast, in my fog.
She wants a plan, without desires or objectivity.
I wish my desires, with no plan that I can see.
She has new confusion in her understanding.
I have new understanding in my confusion.
