Imperfect Jesus
We seek an imperfect Jesus
A hero a bit more like us
But those who aren't too self-absorbed
Are too disturbed
The rest are dead
Taking shots to the head
Sent to the grave
From ones refused to be saved
We don't look within
To deal with our sin
We want to heed
Someone brave enough to lead
Because when we look inside
All we see is a place to hide
We just don't have the balls
To knock down our walls
We put everything
In Martin Luther King
Hoping Gandhi
Might set us free
But Christ is the embodiment of our freedom
Follow him to find unfailed promises in his Father's Kingdom
Contact Communication
Contact is the communication of compassion
But being aloof is good manner and fashion
People are too afraid to touch
Afraid that they might blush
So they keep themselves distant
Against emotions they stand resistant
They refuse to contact or profess they care
For fear their emotions will leave them vulnerable and bare
So I stay one step ahead of them all
For in this world of apathy I'll stand behind the wall
Pangaea
We all come from Pangaea a once united place
But as the continent broke apart so did the human race
The war chariots moved swift
As the continents began to drift
Now each race seeks to exploit his brother's land
And have his brother serving at his command
Now they father children who'll inherit the guilt
And the fleeting hope of power their ancestor's built

Man's Best Friends -Scene IX
(Back at Brian's apartment with Brian walking to the refrigerator taking out a coke and a sandwich walking to the computer and turning the tv on via remote control)
Brian (man): (looks around) David, have you seen Thomas or Mike?
David (hamster): I overheard something about an escape and a plan. I don't know if the plan and the escape had anything to do with each other. I didn't pay attention.
Brian: (sarcastically) Thanks a lot David.
David: (indignantly) Hey I was busy running around that stupid wheel you got in here for me. It's the only thing I can look forward to, not that it's a bleeding amusement park or something.
Brian: (worried) Why would they run away? Why would they...
David: (interrupting remembering something) Oh yeah it had something to do with Elizabeth.
Brian: What of any concern is Elizabeth to Mike or Thomas?
David: Mike is trying to get her attention and when she recognizes Mike your dog she'll return him to you.
Brian: (frustrated) This is why I don't let him watch Lassie. (Doorbell rings) Who would be coming over here at...(turns to look at the oven) nine o clock on a (looks at calendar) Saturday morning?
David: Jehovah's Witnesses?
Brian: I'm surprised they even come at all. All I can do is take the magazines and abruptly leave. I'm no good at talking with strangers. (Looks out the door hole). Looks like Elizabeth is at the door, maybe I'll convert. (opens door)
Elizabeth: (holding a leash to Mike) Hi Brian your dog somehow run over to my house I just thought I should return him.
Brian: (disappointed) Oh you got him on a leash
Elizabeth: (concerned) Ah yeah why?
Brian: (shyly) Well I just know he doesn't happen to like leashes.
Elizabeth: (comfortably) Well he didn't seem to mind with me. (Thomas jumped over to Elizabeth and walks a figure eight around her legs) Wow your pets sure do love me.
Brian: Well I'll take them off your hands.
Elizabeth: I don't mind they are a lot friendlier than my cat.
Brian: Your black cat named Bettie.
Elizabeth: Wow you have a good memory.
Brian: Well you're welcome to come over and play with my pets anytime you want.
Elizabeth: I prefer meeting each other in the park.
Brian: Okay, so how are enjoying Cyrano De Bergerac?
Elizabeth: I have a problem with the main character.
Brian: (anxious) You do? What? What's the problem?
Elizabeth: He was brave in every way except the one way that mattered most.
Brian: What was that?
Elizabeth: He did everything out of love for Roxanne but wasn't brave enough to assume his love for her was nothing for her to be ashamed of.
Brian: Yeah I hate people like that.
Elizabeth: I bet you do. Well see you later. (walking away)
Brian: How about tomorrow at six o clock at the park?
Elizabeth: (looking back grinning) I'll bring Bettie if you bring Mike and Thomas.
Brian: You got a deal (shuts door)
David: I can tell she doesn't like me. She didn't even invite me.
Brian: How could she? She doesn't know about you.
David: (indignantly) You didn't tell her about me?
Brian: Oh yeah. Well I told her about Thomas when I found out she was a cat person and she met Mike when I walked him a few months ago.
David: Yeah right you just don't want to admit you have a hamster.
Brian: I'm very proud to have a hamster. Many great people own hamsters like "Weird Al" Yankovic.
David: That's not my point. You're embarrassed by what a dorky childish pet you have.
Brian: Hamsters just don't pop up in conversations that often.
David: (mockingly) Yeah I wonder why.
Brian: I'm going to bed. (walks away)
Thomas: But it's nine o clock in the morning?
Brian: Good night (slams bedroom door)
Brian (man): (looks around) David, have you seen Thomas or Mike?
David (hamster): I overheard something about an escape and a plan. I don't know if the plan and the escape had anything to do with each other. I didn't pay attention.

Volume 18th trilogy of poetry
Money Cycle
Money flows through like the waters of the earth and sky
It vapors up and rains back down passing itself by
But people live in fear and doubt
When amidst a never ending drought
Water stores itself in immeasurable masses in the sky
As vegetation and wildlife whither and die
The earth pleads and it calls
But no rain water falls
Praying for rain is vanity
When the clouds keep their humidity
It will with the right pressure stay in its place
Destroying the earth in a slow agonizing pace
Tuned Out
Communication has no effect
My senses have disconnect
I can no longer recognize your face
I'm at home and lost in space
Nothing imports to my brain
So your attention is in vain
But thank you for being there
So when I wake I'll know you care
For when my wandering's done
We both know I'll need someone
Ode To Eve
I could have every tree in my garden but it's not paradise without you
I could keep a zoo of pets in my den but it's not paradise without you
Even though my land has always flourished and the sky is ever blue
I am too lonely to call it paradise without you
I could have infinite time
And every mountain to climb
But it's not paradise without you
I could have the softest flower bed
But loneliness would fill my head
For it is not paradise without you
Money flows through like the waters of the earth and sky
It vapors up and rains back down passing itself by
But people live in fear and doubt
When amidst a never ending drought
Water stores itself in immeasurable masses in the sky
As vegetation and wildlife whither and die
The earth pleads and it calls
But no rain water falls
Praying for rain is vanity
When the clouds keep their humidity
It will with the right pressure stay in its place
Destroying the earth in a slow agonizing pace
Tuned Out
Communication has no effect
My senses have disconnect
I can no longer recognize your face
I'm at home and lost in space
Nothing imports to my brain
So your attention is in vain
But thank you for being there
So when I wake I'll know you care
For when my wandering's done
We both know I'll need someone
Ode To Eve
I could have every tree in my garden but it's not paradise without you
I could keep a zoo of pets in my den but it's not paradise without you
Even though my land has always flourished and the sky is ever blue
I am too lonely to call it paradise without you
I could have infinite time
And every mountain to climb
But it's not paradise without you
I could have the softest flower bed
But loneliness would fill my head
For it is not paradise without you
Man's Best Friends Scene VIII
(Mike at Elizabeth's Victorian House, her room by the front door with a window)
Mike (dog): Now to ring the doorbell (reaching for the bell, then stops). Wait I can't ring the bell I have to bark. Man it's a hassle dealing with normal people. (Barks in an obnoxious yelping style, lights turn on inside)
Elizabeth (librarian): (exasperating sigh) That neighbor's dog again. It never shuts up. (rolls over in bed as seen from a window by the front door)
Mike: What the he- I went all the way here from Cardinal no Princeton Road, just to get shut out. Hell no I'm getting in (Tries to jump in through window) Ah I'll just wait at the library. How far is Martin Luther King from here? (Elizabeth opens the front door to let her cat out)
Elizabeth: There you go kitty. (Mike barks loudly chasing the cat as it screeches out of sight) Oh darn Brian's dog what's it's name? Thomas? David? No that's the hamster. Wait Mike (Yells) Mike Mike come on over here (playfully gentle) Come here Mike come on come on over here.
Mike: (turns around) Elizabeth what are you doing here? (walks over to Elizabeth as she reaches down to pet him) Oh yeah she can't hear me
Elizabeth: Ah sweet baby what are you doing here?
Mike: You answer me first crazy lady you can't hear me anyway.
Elizabeth: Stay here until I come back with Bettie my cat (walk down the street to get Bettie)
Mike: I gotta do something about my reaction to cats. Why do I attack them? Was I raised that way? Brian never wanted me to attack but then my biological father had a strong feline prejudice. When did I become him? (Elizabeth comes walking back with Bettie in her arms)
Bettie: Screw you, you dumb mangy mutt.
Mike: I think I found my answer. Didn't even give me time to apologize that ugly puss.
Elizabeth: God it's only five o clock in the morning. I could return Mike before work but I don't know his schedule.
Mike: (sarcastically) I believe he has a business meeting at the office with the tv, the computer and the fridge. (pants in laughter)
Elizabeth: Oh wait today's Saturday. I don't work today. I'll wait until nine and then (lifting and rubbing Mike) I'll take you home.
Mike: (relaxed) Um a cuddler Brian is gonna love you.

Volume Seventeen Poetry
The Pure And Simple Truth
I read the Bible and I find the truth
I know there is a God and I have the proof
Only Truth is eternal
Without it the soul is mortal
I see God treasures all that he gives to birth
He treasures the home he gave- the Earth
I fear no burning flames of hell
What the future holds only prophesy can tell
The only holy wars have no sword
My only general is the Lord
Jesus Christ is his personal name
His father Jehovah is in union with but not the same
It is not Him but Satan it is to blame
For all the sins that bring us to shame
It is Satan who owns the world but not the Earth
The greed and hate of politics he gives to birth
Love is giving, Greed is ungraciously getting
Never acknowledging others, his brothers he is forgetting
All things tangible are simply mortal
Don't trust them they're not eternal
Unless they synchronize with the Holy and Good
It will fall from where once it stood
Unless one can live the truth simple and pure
It will be impossible Armageddon to endure
Love Is All You Need
The deaf will hear and the blind will see
The dead shall rise to make a new society
To mark love can cause anything to be
For God is love and makes anything a possibility
Hate and pride only bring animosity
Quick fixes and easy outs are only temporary
Nothing everlasting came from greed
But the world will see love is all you need
Destruction Of Peace
Death does not achieve freedom
War does not maintain a kingdom
Destruction will always come
Where destruction is brought from
I read the Bible and I find the truth
I know there is a God and I have the proof
Only Truth is eternal
Without it the soul is mortal
I see God treasures all that he gives to birth
He treasures the home he gave- the Earth
I fear no burning flames of hell
What the future holds only prophesy can tell
The only holy wars have no sword
My only general is the Lord
Jesus Christ is his personal name
His father Jehovah is in union with but not the same
It is not Him but Satan it is to blame
For all the sins that bring us to shame
It is Satan who owns the world but not the Earth
The greed and hate of politics he gives to birth
Love is giving, Greed is ungraciously getting
Never acknowledging others, his brothers he is forgetting
All things tangible are simply mortal
Don't trust them they're not eternal
Unless they synchronize with the Holy and Good
It will fall from where once it stood
Unless one can live the truth simple and pure
It will be impossible Armageddon to endure
Love Is All You Need
The deaf will hear and the blind will see
The dead shall rise to make a new society
To mark love can cause anything to be
For God is love and makes anything a possibility
Hate and pride only bring animosity
Quick fixes and easy outs are only temporary
Nothing everlasting came from greed
But the world will see love is all you need
Destruction Of Peace
Death does not achieve freedom
War does not maintain a kingdom
Destruction will always come
Where destruction is brought from

Man's Best Friends Scene VII
(Night time at the park same as Scene III)
Mike (dog): Finally a nice place to pee (relieves himself) okay now to take Brian home. Hey where's Brian? Oh my God where's Brian? I've lost Brian. Where did he go? I hate when he wanders off. (sense of relief) Oh right I ran away, but why? Maybe I could ask Elizabeth? No wait she doesn't have the gift. That's right I'm suppose to go to her and talk to her about... oh wait she can't talk to me. Let's see how did I get here? I woke up this morning, went to the bathroom, argued with Thomas, gnawed on my butt, took a walk, and I tried to get Brian to speak with Elizabeth and that didn't work so we went back and he typed his article for the dating magazine and (puzzled) what was I talking about? (Thomas comes walking by)
Thomas (cat): You were going to Elizabeth's so she can return you to Brian, just as he starts to notice you're missing.
Mike: So why are you here Thomas?
Thomas: To make sure you get to her before he really starts to worry about you.
Mike: Well you should go back and distract him so he doesn't notice any quicker.
Thomas: Elizabeth lives on Cardinal Lane.
Mike: I knew that
Thomas: Yes knew, hence past tense just reminding you, Cardinal Lane.
Mike: Well I didn't forget. She lives on Cardinal Lane.
Thomas: And Brian lives on Princeton Road.
Mike: (aggravated, growling) Get out smart-elic
Thomas: Fine but if you're gone for more than three days I'm telling Brian everything (licks front paws three times and scampers off)

Sweet 16th Poetry Log
Fire
Fire, the living non-living
Energy of it's soul it starts giving
Warm, shining brightly upon midnight
Burning and churning giving off light
How bright it shines our soul
Burning wild and out of control
Living and producing freely
A symbol of doing what we dare to be
October Rain
Walking through the October rain
Letting it wash away my pain
Feeling the wind blowing on by
As I watch the leaves start to fly
I sit on my bench shielded beneath the tree
And I watch around the rain that covers me.
To Lindsey Fox And Heather Beckett
To all this world my words are mute
My own significance minute
Save only you, who cared for me
Who showed me love I longed to see
Whose love is lasting forever
And time shall never dissever
Constant as the river does flow
It warms myself down to the soul
With eyes that shine on through the night
Like stars that light the heavens bright
You welcome me like summer's breeze
You calm me like the shade of trees
You make me feel so very calm
With just a simple touch of the palm
Embracing me with your silk skin
It sooths me to be with you now and then
Man's Best Friends Scene VI
(main apartment room same as Scene IV)
Thomas (cat): Done already?
Brian (man): Yeah, emailed it to Mr. Jenkins already.
Mike (dog): Why do you call him Mr. Jenkins?
Brian: Because that's his name
Mike: No, I mean how come you don't call him by his Christian name?
Brian: Oh, well I never met him.
Thomas: What about during the interview process?
Brian: That was with human resources.
Thomas: So you trust your personal work with a complete stranger but can't have a casual conversation with a woman you have been pining after and studying for the past god knows how many months?
Brian: (embarrassed) Well that is one way of looking at it. I'll check my emails (leaves)
Mike: That's it I'm running away to the library tomorrow morning when Elizabeth starts work there. Then when she sees me she'll recognize me and take me back to Brian and then he'll have to talk to her.
Thomas: He'll still avoid any conversation with her but don't let that keep you from fulfilling my dreams.
David: Of eating me?
Thomas: Get off yourself already for a depressed paranoid hamster you sure do have your mind set on yourself.
Mike: Well as much as I love this little day drama I think I'll tune out early. (leaves out the window)

Poetry Vol. 15
To Brittany Gray II
Brittany you are my truest and dearest friend
But I seek more at the risk that this may end
My love for you is secure
Willing any hardship to endure
My love is ready and well equipped
Because my love is built on friendship
It will not be torn apart
Because your love is safe in my heart
To Brittany Gray III
When I'm with you, I feel mountain high But my feet are always about to slip
I feel the presence of Aphrodite and Athena when I'm with you
I started feeling emotions I never truly knew
I'd follow you to the pits of Hades if you just said the word
Without a complaint to be heard
I'd let you led your own path just as long you don't lose me
When you're emotionally caged I'll set you free
I'll put on a brave face
I'll continue the race
I'll get up when I fall
All on your faint call.
April To November
I hate November to April
Without the sun to get me up nothing will
I'll dream of better times I remember
From the days of April to November
To when the leafs come and fall
As I walk in awe of the beauty of it all
Slowly as the weather gets warm
It goes from blizzard to rainstorm
When the storms clear
You'll find spring is here
With birds singing and flowers growing
Love is in the air and it's showing
In the summer you can't help but rest
As even the birds lay on their nest
Fragrant flowers bloom
The sun's heat melts the gloom
Everything is at ease
Nothing moves but the breeze
But no better time will come
Than the early days of autumn
Leafs of orange, red and gold
The weather's cool but never cold
As the leafs start to fall
I can hear my bike say last call
Brittany you are my truest and dearest friend
But I seek more at the risk that this may end
My love for you is secure
Willing any hardship to endure
My love is ready and well equipped
Because my love is built on friendship
It will not be torn apart
Because your love is safe in my heart
To Brittany Gray III
Brittany I hold you sacred, But I never knew what was proper worship
When I'm with you, I feel mountain high But my feet are always about to slip
I feel the presence of Aphrodite and Athena when I'm with you
I started feeling emotions I never truly knew
I'd follow you to the pits of Hades if you just said the word
Without a complaint to be heard
I'd let you led your own path just as long you don't lose me
When you're emotionally caged I'll set you free
I'll put on a brave face
I'll continue the race
I'll get up when I fall
All on your faint call.
April To November
I hate November to April
Without the sun to get me up nothing will
I'll dream of better times I remember
From the days of April to November
To when the leafs come and fall

It goes from blizzard to rainstorm
When the storms clear
You'll find spring is here
With birds singing and flowers growing
Love is in the air and it's showing
In the summer you can't help but rest
As even the birds lay on their nest
Fragrant flowers bloom
The sun's heat melts the gloom
Everything is at ease
Nothing moves but the breeze
But no better time will come
Than the early days of autumn
Leafs of orange, red and gold
The weather's cool but never cold
As the leafs start to fall
I can hear my bike say last call

Beatles/Monty Python Petition
(I first posted this on rateyourmusic.com a few moments ago but I wanted to add this to my personal blog with the extension that this include Beatles work but also the Monty Python group and solo work, My rateyourmusic only refers to the Beatles work since it is a music website)
First off why is it so hard to find so many of the great Beatles solo albums. Imagine and Double Fantasy are about the only only studio albums you can find anywhere from John Lennon. Plus they didn't release Past Masters tunes as bonus tracks for the Beatles so why did they add "Power To The People" to Plastic Ono Band, it doesn't fit with the rest of the album and neither does "Do The Oz." Also Shaved Fish is a compilation I know but since it is meant to tie up the loose ends of Lennon's studio discography I should it should be classified in some way as more of a studio type album and not a hacked and mixed compilation album. There's a billion Lennon and McCartney albums and there are a lot of great tunes that wouldn't fit in one or two discs. They should just sell studio albums as is and I hear they are putting Ringo's "Blast From The Past" out of print which is a shame because again it makes a good tie the loose ends cheap compilation album so you don't get classic albums like "Ringo" and "Goodnight Vienna" ending with otherwise great songs that seem out of place. Plus why add bonus songs in the middle of Harrison's classic "All Things Must Pass" just put the first two albums on the first disc and leave the second disc to play the jam sessions from the third album like John Lennon's Some Time In New York City which I know was only a double album but still it puts order to the album without editing it is my point. Beatle specials should also emphasize some of their solo work which sounds contrary to a purist like me but the solo work has been discriminated against as albums hailed for a little while only to fade into oblivion like Flaming Pie and Cloud Nine. George Harrison's Thirty Three & 1/3 has some great tunes that are hard to find "Crackerbox Palace" which I heard on a Saturday Night Live rerun and "This Song" which I found on youtube so I have these songs for free but I really wanted to own the album for myself so don't stop printing re-issues of the pure Beatle solo work with an occasional compilation or anthology that puts a little more depth in the discography. I don't know how to start a petition but to the people at Apple and Capitol Records and EMI and Dark Horse and Mecca please note a fan's plea and see it as a loss of potential revenue that could come from many other like minded fans. So any Beatle purist fans please tag your comments to this posting chain. I know that this is a weird thing to feel so strongly about but music is my passion and so is preserving arts that belong in their original form for longevity and prosterity and many Beatle fans may like the economic relief of a brief summary album of their tunes which is fine but those who want to save and scrimp every penny till they can every Beatle/ex-Beatle song they want no matter how obscure.
First off why is it so hard to find so many of the great Beatles solo albums. Imagine and Double Fantasy are about the only only studio albums you can find anywhere from John Lennon. Plus they didn't release Past Masters tunes as bonus tracks for the Beatles so why did they add "Power To The People" to Plastic Ono Band, it doesn't fit with the rest of the album and neither does "Do The Oz." Also Shaved Fish is a compilation I know but since it is meant to tie up the loose ends of Lennon's studio discography I should it should be classified in some way as more of a studio type album and not a hacked and mixed compilation album. There's a billion Lennon and McCartney albums and there are a lot of great tunes that wouldn't fit in one or two discs. They should just sell studio albums as is and I hear they are putting Ringo's "Blast From The Past" out of print which is a shame because again it makes a good tie the loose ends cheap compilation album so you don't get classic albums like "Ringo" and "Goodnight Vienna" ending with otherwise great songs that seem out of place. Plus why add bonus songs in the middle of Harrison's classic "All Things Must Pass" just put the first two albums on the first disc and leave the second disc to play the jam sessions from the third album like John Lennon's Some Time In New York City which I know was only a double album but still it puts order to the album without editing it is my point.

Man's Best Friends Scene V
(Brian on bed alone with his laptop)
Brian: (typing inner monologue) In today's world of less talk save time more action get yours and get going civilians need their accessories, possessions and clothes to do the quick talking for them and varying from culture to culture certain visible attributes communicate many different things. One way of cultural speech is the pets we own. Cats, dogs and birds are the most common pets and we have particular character types drawn on each type of pet owner. If you own a hamster it says that you are either eight years old or else very strange. If you own a cat you are feminine and proper or somewhat passively affectionate and laid back. If you own a bird you typically are a pining distant person who prefers affection through barriers and the same goes for fish owners who also want control over their objects of affection rather than actual affection. But dog owners not through popularity but though massive media images nailed into the cognitive minds of people our views on dogs and therefore dog owners varies breed to breed. The larger the dog the tougher the dog owner hence most women if they choose dogs they pick small dogs to show daintiness and frailness. You likewise won't see many men with Chihuahuas or poodles unless they don't mind the same mental image imposed upon the dog. Pitbulls and Rottweilers show toughness or a territorial nature and the owners are usually typecasting themselves as bad boys. Anyone who loves a mutt shows love as a priority over status quo and will win the affection of women who are insecure of themselves but still respect themselves too much to date a bad boy. Dogs are more popular for the diverse personal traits each breed portrays whereas cats, birds and fish show more vague images of personality. Vague is hard to stereotype so we choose dogs emphasize the role we choose to play in society and advertise ourselves to perspective partners. (spoken) Now I'll just email this to that magazine editor who publishes my relationship papers. And I'm done (gets up and leaves)

14th Collection of Poetry
Jobless Hopeless
Lost forever stuck immobile
Might as well get cozy I'll be here for awhile
Lost forever alone tired of looking for my way
Just want to escape life for a day
No job no friends by my side
No calls from the stores I applied
So I waste another day in void
Escaping the pain and loneliness with Pink Floyd
My senses give me nothing but sorrow
Forever awaiting another tomorrow
Escape this pain with a cheap thrill
It's better than vain work or standing still
Evaluation
I don't know what's in store
Dying for sins I did not ask for
I did not willingly create
These feelings are innate
Something natural smothered in tacky decadence
Something beautiful, ugly, real and phony makes no sense
I don't want to pollute
But I need a substitute
Because if I'm too young for it to be real
I need placebos to make my soul heal
I know it is wrong
But my will wasn't born strong
Puberty
I sit still but my body's moving too fast
Another change as each moment's past
I do nothing hoping nothing will change
But my life is getting rearranged
My hormone and my heart are growing wild
But my mind is stuck between man and child
I sometimes think like a man but love like a little boy
Sometimes it's the other way but neither can I have any joy
My mind and body are changing within and without
Marked and scarred by my insecurity and doubt
But I have to face that time is the only way out
Lost forever stuck immobile
Might as well get cozy I'll be here for awhile
Lost forever alone tired of looking for my way
Just want to escape life for a day
No job no friends by my side
No calls from the stores I applied
So I waste another day in void
Escaping the pain and loneliness with Pink Floyd
My senses give me nothing but sorrow
Forever awaiting another tomorrow
Escape this pain with a cheap thrill
It's better than vain work or standing still
Evaluation
I don't know what's in store

Man's Best Friends -Scene IV
(Back at Brian's apartment with Thomas licking his left side three times and then his right side three times and rotate as Brain and Mike walk in)
Mike (dog): Why don't you stick to one side till it's done?
Thomas (cat): It won't even out then.
Brian (man): (adoringly reaching down for Thomas) It won't matter because in a few moments I'm gonna pet and rub every hair out of place, baby.
Thomas: (running away) Bull crap I've been working on my grooming for the past three hours and I can't have it ruined?
Brian: Why not?
Thomas: Because that would make my day a waste.
Mike: You spent all day licking yourself it's already a waste.
Thomas: And spending the day squatting over a fire hydrant is time well spent?
Mike: At least I don't have to go in the same dirty sand box day in and day out.
Thomas: At least I don't have to leave the house to relieve myself.
David (hamster): At least you don't have to live in the box you defecate in. Can someone clean this cage?
Brian: I will (puts David in a second cage from under his desk, takes the old cage, washes it in the sink and puts it in the dish washer) There it's already in the dish washer.
Thomas: Remind me to never use the silverware.
Mike: Before or after you lick your own butt.
Thomas: Shut up, Brian and me are having a conversation. (to Brian) So how did the chick cruising go? Got any hot babes' phone numbers? Or did Cujo drive them all away with his mug face?
Mike: (defensively) Hey Cujo was a Saint Bernard, I'm a Miniature Schnauzer.
Thomas: Was the difference one dog is the same as another, why do you get to dissect yourself into smaller groups for your own protection?
Mike: What do you mean for your own protection?
Thomas: Well Cujo was a Saint Bernard so Miniature Schnauzers are off the hook from any negative stereotypes in regards to Cujo. But if a cat does something one cat is just the same as another.
Brian: You mean like with white and blacks, how one black man is seen as the same as another black person, but white are divided into a million nationalities, cultures and creeds.
Mike: (defensively) Well that's not true with cats though. Black cats are suppose to be scary, white cats classy and orange ones lazy
Thomas: What about alley cats?
Mike: Unbefriendable, aloof, untrustable, self-serving, garbage eating hobos.
Brian: (brainstorming) That's it that's why dogs are better wingmen than cats.
Mike: I know because cats are untrustable garbage eating hobos but what does wingmen have to do with this conversation?
Thomas: The magazine article he's been trying to write all day numbskull. He's talking about why it's easier for men with dogs to talk to people than men with cats.
Brian: Yeah if you have a cat it can only mean one of few handful of things regardless of the breed of the cat, but if you see a man with a pitbull or a man with a Chihuahua you can immediately tell the difference between them.
Mike: Yeah one has a chain on his wallet and the other rhinestones on their handbag.
David: You never see hamsters as wingmen. You don't even see as pets anymore. We're just some nine year olds toys that the cats eat.
Brian: Earlier you said eight year olds
David: What's the difference? No one listens to me anyway.
Mike: Say something new and we might.
Brian: Look I'm going to work on my report on my bedroom laptop, so Mike make sure Tommy doesn't eat David, David make sure Mike doesn't beat up Thomas and Thomas make sure David doesn't run away. If one of you fails this mission I'll donate you all to underprivileged inner city kids from an under funded orphanage.
Thomas: But they have bad food
David: Poor supervision
Mike: And no chew toys
Brian: Exactly
Mike (dog): Why don't you stick to one side till it's done?
Thomas (cat): It won't even out then.
Brian (man): (adoringly reaching down for Thomas) It won't matter because in a few moments I'm gonna pet and rub every hair out of place, baby.

Man's Best Friends -Scene III
(Brian at the park walking with Mike at a private area while Mike looks for a spot to urinate)
Brian (man): Now remember, we're in public so don't say anything I might respond to because if I say something out of the blue people will think I'm crazy.
Mike (dog): Obviously Doctor Doolittle. Don't worry if for nothing else I'm not going to ruin my meal ticket.
Brian: Good to know your priorities are straight
Mike: Don't bite the hand that feeds you
Brian: You did last night?
Mike: Well don't disturb me when I'm with Missy.
Brian: The Yorkshire Terrier?
Mike: No, the Scottish Terrier
Brian: How come dogs can have multiple sexual partners without the females getting mad?
Mike: Because it's for reproduction not pleasure
Brian: You seem to enjoy it a lot?
Mike: Hey as long as the females think that we get a good thing going and I'm not going to mess it up.
(Brian spots Elizabeth the librarian across the field reading Cyrano De Bergerac on a park bench)
Brian: (worried) Mike did you forget this is the time and day Elizabeth the librarian reads in the park?
Mike: (fake casual) It is? Damn my ADD. By the way can you see what she's reading?
Brian: It looks like Cyrano De Bergerac.
Mike: That's what I thought; I saw her walk out of the book store on my walk the other day. You are so in.
Brian: How?
Mike: First I know you recommended that book to her, you've told me about every hour since you did it last week and second if she likes the main character you are so freakin' in.
Brian: What if she hates the book, what if she thinks it is some fluff of over idealized love and passion by some emotional lonely freak?
Mike: Think about it, has any woman said that about any romantic play in history?
Brian: No
Mike: So don't worry.
(Mike leads Brian out casually to the bench where Elizabeth is sitting)
Brian: (casual and nervous) Oh hi Elizabeth it's wonderful to see you today out here in the park, so what are you reading?
Elizabeth: (chuckles and smiles) Are you always this nervous or just around me?
Brian: (gasps) I'm not nervous, well I am but don't take it personally I'm like this with everyone actually, it's nothing in particular.
Elizabeth: (comfortingly and casual) Well don't worry (she gets up and reaches out to hold Brian's shoulder as Brian gets noticeable awkward) social situations get better with experience and before you know it you can have perfectly normal human interactions and then even a comfortable relationship. (she leaves)
Brian: Another day another conversation (frustrated) another pity comfort compliment. God. This is frustrating; do you think she's on to my crush?
Mike: It's sort of obvious and then again sort of not, if she sees you act nervously around others what you did would seem perfectly natural. She kind of shot you down earlier than I thought she would.
Brian: (sarcastically) Thanks for the verification.
Brian (man): Now remember, we're in public so don't say anything I might respond to because if I say something out of the blue people will think I'm crazy.

12th Part of Poetry
Autumn Nights
On a cool, breezy autumn night
With the dim shine of the full moon light
With the leaves falling from the tree
Falling to cover me
Being caressed by the soft night air
Calming my every nightmare
And the tender grass tickles me
And everything lays in harmony
The Seeker
All my life I have followed and I have fought
But what I wanted is what I never got
I've been to the ocean's depth and the mountain's peak
But even after a hundred years I'll never find what I seek
Looking forever without a map
Looking forever in this death trap
Looked through the sea, searched through the sky
But never found a love that wouldn't die
All passion has an end
As I'm left without a friend
Fashion Fascism
Fashion is a fascist nation
Where looks determine association
If Jesus lived in our generation
He'd be set off in isolation
Unless he dressed in a hundred dollar brand name
And had a generic gym body frame
Spent a million to be more of the same
Just to be in a winnerless game
Even though he wouldn't give in to pressure
He couldn't share his treasure
In a world seeking instant pleasure
He would be weighed on a faulty measure

Man's Best Friends Animated Sitcom Scene II
(Brian sitting blankly at a computer next to the hamster cage)
Brian (human): I still can't remember what I was going to write about? (momentary pause) oh yeah why do dogs make better wingmen than cats?
David (hamster): Yeah how come hamsters never make good wingmen? No one ever tries using us to pick up chicks. We're always adopted by neglectful absent minded eight year olds left to be eaten by their sister's cats.
Thomas (cat): (walking by) Well that's your guys' fault for being so delicious. (David looks in fear)
Brian: (reassuring) Don't worry David I won't let Thomas eat you.
David: No you will, you always loved that stupid old fat cat more than me, I mean he's the threat so he should be locked up in this cage.
Brian: He can't fit in there you know that.
David: Oh so the prison isn't up to the criminal's standards
Brian: He's not a criminal. Thomas hasn't done anything wrong.
David: Not yet
Brian: I'm going to get a drink (gets up and goes to kitchen)
Thomas: (jumps up to the desk next to the cage) Look, David I have a good thing going here, don't get me in trouble.
David: (scared) Why? What are you doing to do? Eat me? Bite my head off? Come on tell me and get it over with.
Thomas: Gawd dang you're a nervous little bugger (jumps down as Brian enters with a peanut butter sandwich, a coke and a scrap of fish for Thomas he tosses on the ground)
David: I can never trust a meat eater.
Thomas: Brian eats meat, just not around you. (Brian looks back at Thomas in shock while David is petrified)
David: (anxious) Is this true? Why have you deceived me? Are you planning on eating me? I should have known. You're always watching that creepy Twilight Zone episode.
Brian: David humans are carnivorous by nature, but we don't eat hamsters.
David: What do you eat?
Brian: Cows, chicken, pigs, fish in some lands they eat cats and dogs. (Thomas looking unfazed licking himself clean)
Thomas: So what? Like you'd eat me. (continuing licking self)
David: Did you say humans eat cows, chickens and pigs?
Brian: Yeah?
David: Aren't those rather large animals?
Brian: So?
David: I seldom see you eat more than one peanut butter sandwich at a time how can humans eat an entire cow, pig or even chicken?
Brian: Well more than one human eats each cow and pig, which is good because pigs and cows then don't have to die for each person.
Thomas: Unless humans eat alone.
David: What about the chicken?
Thomas: Humans only eat the breasts, legs, thighs and wings and throw the rest away.
David: Freudian freaks. (sarcastically) Now that I'm done with the fun parts let's throw the rest away. (animals laugh)
Brian: Shut up you rodent diners and pellet muncher.
Thomas: Carcass dumper
Mike (dog) : (comes in main room) Hey Brian, could you please take me for a walk?
Brian: (anxious) I'd be thrilled to. (gets up and goes out with Mike)
Brian (human): I still can't remember what I was going to write about? (momentary pause) oh yeah why do dogs make better wingmen than cats?

Poetry Volume 11
I Remember Her
I remember her warmth and affection
I remember her beautiful complexion
I even remember her record collection
I remember her her sassy innocent grin
I remember the conversations we'd get lost in
I remember how her touch without showed the loved within
I remember the love we shared
I remember the secrets we bared
I remember how tenderly she cared
I remember her opinions and her feelings
I remember her family dealings
I remember all the little things
I remember her quirky habits and ways
I remember how we loved wasting the days
I remember when it was more to her than just a childish phase
But if you're not who you really are
You never truly made it there
Because you lost your true self along the way somewhere
With nothing but the stars above
In the warm midnight air
With the only one I care
All that I need is here with me
As the peace sets us free
All that is calm comes our way
Together forever everyday
I remember her warmth and affection
I remember her beautiful complexion
I even remember her record collection
I remember her her sassy innocent grin
I remember the conversations we'd get lost in
I remember how her touch without showed the loved within
I remember the love we shared
I remember the secrets we bared
I remember how tenderly she cared
I remember her opinions and her feelings
I remember her family dealings
I remember all the little things
I remember her quirky habits and ways
I remember how we loved wasting the days
I remember when it was more to her than just a childish phase
Non-Conformist Motto
They say a pretty face may get you far
But if you're not who you really are
You never truly made it there
Because you lost your true self along the way somewhere
Summer Nights
On a warm summer night with the one I love
With nothing but the stars above
In the warm midnight air
With the only one I care
All that I need is here with me
As the peace sets us free
All that is calm comes our way
Together forever everyday
Man's Best Friends Animated Sitcom Scene I
(Brian Becque lying in bed asleep with Thomas the alley cat on the pillow next to his head)
(Knocking at Brian's bedroom door)
Mike (dog): Hey Brian let me back in, jees do we have to go through this every time I go to bathroom at night
(Brian gets up and opens the door to let Mike the schnauzer dog in)
Brian (human): Well the door was unlocked Mike.
Mike: Yeah but it was shut. How am I supposed to open it? With my teeth
Brian: Well you can always open the peanut butter jar
Mike: That's because you never shut it all the way.
Brian: What's the harm in that, it's not like this apartment is roach infested?
Mike: No just a dog, a cat and a hamster, all of whom have free range over this place except that hamster David (concerned) all day he is just stuck in that glass cage.
Brian: Yeah I think that's why he's so depressed.
Thomas (cat): I don't know what he's so depressed about he and Brian are the only ones not to get neutered.
Mike: (fake puzzled) You were neutered? Just kidding. But as to Brian's theory about the glass case depression I agree as it is actually just a fish tank you're keeping him in.
Brian: So what? It's dried out, now
Mike: Yeah but not when you first put him in there.
Brian: The water was so clear how could I remember if I already drained the water?
Thomas: Maybe the dead fish floating on top would have been a clue?
Mike: Yeah, but I'm still traumatized by what happened to the fish, are you going to flush all your dead pets down the toilet, because that would be kind of rude ya know.
Brian: God, I flush one fish down the drain and I never hear the end of it. I mean you're a dog, you'll eat whatever scraps of carcass is in smelling distance.
Mike: Not a friend's dead carcass, you know that, that's why dogs don't eat their mothers.
Brian: (sarcastically) Well as enjoyable as a nice conversation about carnal consumption is, I have a busy day ahead of me.
Thomas: You're a freelance journalist, you work at home.
Brian: Well I still have a social life.
Mike: Oh please you spend half your day watching Monty Python's Flying Circus, then you go back to your room to vege out to the Beatles or Pink Floyd.
Brian: Well social interaction is hard for me.
Thomas: When's the last time you saw your therapist?
Brian: I don't have one anymore, I couldn't afford one. Besides you guys are my therapists.
Thomas: And we're your job coach
Mike: And we're your confidants
Thomas: And we're your dating service.
Mike: Yeah and if I'm going to help you pick up women please let me have some for myself.
Brian: You can't get it on with a Yorkshire Terrier right in front of our apartment building. And while I'm at it don't greet my dates with a leg humping.
Mike: Like you're any smoother.
Thomas: Look you should come to me about dating; cats know how to make the aloof goof thing work for you.
Mike: (sarcastically) Yeah that's why cat walkers get all the women
Brian: That gives me an idea for my next article: Why Do Dogs Make Better Wingmen? I mean winning a cat's affection would be more impressive to a woman, so why do they date dog lovers?
Thomas: Women are attracted to dumb brutes and anyone who is likewise attracted to dumb brutes.
(Mike bites Thomas' neck and Brian smacks Brian with a newspaper)
Brian: Maybe I should go back to professional help with a counselor and a job coach.
Mike: Yeah it would be healthy to get to the point where you can have a real job interacting with people.
Brian: Yeah but the last time I tried government assisted work training I felt like I was in special ed classes (mocking) Now Brian what is it we never talk about in public?
Thomas: Religion
Mike: Politics
Brian: And sex!
Mike: Yeah right, every store I walk by with you all I hear from others is"fascist right wing" "communist left wing" "smut peddlers" "tree huggers" "flag burners"
Thomas: "Cross burners" "holy roller" "Bible thumping fundamentalist" "space age guru" "intellectual god-hating atheists"
Brian: Butts, breasts and genitals.
Thomas: Just remember the basic rule for politics, religion and sex. It's all Machiavelli disguised as Christ.
Mike: True that.
Brian: Right, now what was my next article going to be about again?
Mike: (gnawing himself) What article?
Thomas: Wow that's a record. A five minute conversation without being distracted by your own butt. I think your ADD is fading away nicely.
Mike: You're one to talk; being obsessive compulsive is just as bad. Every time you get off that pillow you have to circle it counterclockwise three times, jump on the desk, then to the window, then to the dresser and then out the door.
Thomas: No I don't
Mike: Try leaving that pillow without doing it right now
Thomas: Okay (Thomas walks three times counterclockwise around the pillow, jumps to the desk, window sill, dresser and to the door) See?
Mike: (distracted) See what?
Thomas: (to himself) Dogs are so stupid. You can't lose an argument with someone who never remembers what the point is.

Tenth Compilation of Poetry
Moral Majority II
The moral majority is so fond
Of the violent, sexual adventures of James Bond
But if they saw that same show
Go down in the ghetto
They'd judge and condemn
Pointing their finger at them
Using any means to feed the poor is good
As long as you're named Robin Hood
But Big Tobacco
Runs the show
Puts in place the politics and police
In a perpetual process that won't cease
As the police jail every man selling weed
As millions die every decade to tobacco's greed
Sex, violence and drugs are alright if you're rich
But not if you are living in a ditch
You can destroy the ecosystem with your cigar
And your imported sports utility car
But the poor can't fight to survive
As the rich moral majority kill to strive
The Turtle
Although I didn't know her too well
I know my mother left me protected by a shell
When I hatched I found no feather or fin
Just another shell I fit in
I am too slow and too dense
To come to my own defense
I have no mom to look after me
I'd be lucky if I made it to the sea
My only comfort is I can always dwell
Protected inside my shell
No more time to relax for fun
No work is done
No time to sit I have to run
No more sitting by
Enjoying life as time would fly
And without a warning cry
The time and me are going to die
The moral majority is so fond
Of the violent, sexual adventures of James Bond
But if they saw that same show
Go down in the ghetto
They'd judge and condemn
Pointing their finger at them
Using any means to feed the poor is good
As long as you're named Robin Hood
But Big Tobacco
Runs the show
Puts in place the politics and police
In a perpetual process that won't cease
As the police jail every man selling weed
As millions die every decade to tobacco's greed
Sex, violence and drugs are alright if you're rich
But not if you are living in a ditch
You can destroy the ecosystem with your cigar
And your imported sports utility car
But the poor can't fight to survive
As the rich moral majority kill to strive
The Turtle
Although I didn't know her too well
I know my mother left me protected by a shell
When I hatched I found no feather or fin
Just another shell I fit in
I am too slow and too dense
To come to my own defense
I have no mom to look after me
I'd be lucky if I made it to the sea
My only comfort is I can always dwell
Protected inside my shell
The Time Is Gone
The time is gone
No more time to relax for fun
No work is done
No time to sit I have to run
No more sitting by
Enjoying life as time would fly
And without a warning cry
The time and me are going to die

Poetry No 9 No 9 No 9 No 9
Mrs. Self-Righteous
You'll never know the battles I've fought
You judge others based on when they were caught
Aren't you ever aware
That your eyes aren't everywhere
You aren't the standard by which we measure
You have no right to bring on the pressure
Do you see the rafter in your eye
Others like you would at least have the guilt to cry
Social Play
Shut up and play your part
We don't want to unlock your heart
It doesn't matter if friendly bonds set us free
Casual indifference makes friends in society
To Brittany Gray
You are my shining hope my star
That I can only love from afar
A distant love unable to attain
Still I look for your favor to gain
I look to you to make my lonely nights bright
To no other star could I ever take delight
I look straight to you piercing through the hazy sky
Past the uncertainty that lay before my eye
Knowing I'd never have a chance
I must love you from a distance
But even as the clouds fog my view
Your heavenly beauty keeps shining through

8th Cycle of Poetry
Rebuttal To Sean Hannity
You ask why anyone wouldn't say the pledge
I ask why you call yourself balanced when you're clearly on the edge
You claim religious obedience
When it's not God who gets your allegiance
Remember we must follow God before man
But you love the hierarchy of the Klan
Why does George Bush get your trust
When soon he'll just return to dust
Where's your spiritual conviction
You follow human contradiction
God does not simply bless America but Earth in all
But doesn't God say pride comes before a fall
Before you set up a probing investigation
Take another look at the question
And put yourself under evaluation
And look to see God's Children aren't one faith, one people or one nation
None except for the New Israel
Although not yet tangible the only forever real
What good are the athlete, celebrity, or queen
And money is a trivial thing
Since there's a limit on what it will bring
Christmas only lives two days past December twenty-four
The queen says there's peace when so many die in her war
Athletes may run fast across the track and field
But what souls have they healed
Why should I believe in a celebrity
When they change in every song and movie
Maybe if we stop trying to find Easter eggs we could find peace
Maybe if we stop the lies of monsters a child's fears may cease
But now I've put my past away
Their insults used to bother me
The other kids would never let me be
Now victory is mine today
I'm meeting the goal day by day
I've left the world and flown away
I am like the seed of a tree
People would shove dirt over me
I'm now growing stronger each day
I won't be scared and run away
I've grown stronger since yesterday
I've let myself go and I'm free
Insults won't be trouble to me
In my mind pain has gone away
You ask why anyone wouldn't say the pledge
I ask why you call yourself balanced when you're clearly on the edge
You claim religious obedience
When it's not God who gets your allegiance
Remember we must follow God before man
But you love the hierarchy of the Klan
Why does George Bush get your trust
When soon he'll just return to dust
Where's your spiritual conviction
You follow human contradiction
God does not simply bless America but Earth in all
But doesn't God say pride comes before a fall
Before you set up a probing investigation
Take another look at the question
And put yourself under evaluation
And look to see God's Children aren't one faith, one people or one nation
None except for the New Israel
Although not yet tangible the only forever real
I Don't Believe
I don't believe in Christmas, Easter, or Halloween
What good are the athlete, celebrity, or queen
And money is a trivial thing
Since there's a limit on what it will bring
Christmas only lives two days past December twenty-four
The queen says there's peace when so many die in her war
Athletes may run fast across the track and field
But what souls have they healed
Why should I believe in a celebrity
When they change in every song and movie
Maybe if we stop trying to find Easter eggs we could find peace
Maybe if we stop the lies of monsters a child's fears may cease
Meeting The Goal
So many dark times in my day
But now I've put my past away
Their insults used to bother me
The other kids would never let me be
Now victory is mine today
I'm meeting the goal day by day
I've left the world and flown away
I am like the seed of a tree
People would shove dirt over me
I'm now growing stronger each day
I won't be scared and run away
I've grown stronger since yesterday
I've let myself go and I'm free
Insults won't be trouble to me
In my mind pain has gone away

The Pattern
My blog has by now formed a pattern every other blog is a trilogy of poems which comes up next by then this one is either to feature a movie outline I've made or state something personal. Since I'm still banking on poetry to be stronghold in the literary world I'll give some insight to my poems. On August 14 or 16, 1998 I started writing when I was listening almost into purely pop music and oldies. the poetry I enjoyed reading was Edgar Allan Poe, Robert Louis Stevenson, Robert Frost, Emily Dickinson and Dylan Thomas (too a much less degree). The Beatles lead me to Bob Dylan and Pink Floyd which lyrically impressed me deeply followed by Neil Young and Nirvana. In the early years of the second Iraq War I was in Sinclair Community College (I dropped out due to personal stress in 2005). My experience there expanded my artistic interests. I watched Michael Moore films and listened to Public Enemy also dabbling in the Clash and Rage Against The Machine, so I can't really define myself on the political spectrum but the consequences of the world around me caused me to see the incompetences of The Right, not that I've been blind to what I do not care for in The Left, but I understand what I write will get a political analysis that due to the years of my writing I appear left wing but I am not. I'm a Jehovah's Witness and my views have never aligned with anything else religious or political not that I don't look into other viewpoints, but what I believe to be true in one area or another bars me from political compatibility to any party. Also my dad's love for Fox News was very irritating.
7th Collection of Poetry
To The Renaissance Gypsy Dancers
You presence is a shrine, your body's a temple
I worship and honor even your slightest dimple
If only getting you was half as simple
To give you every pleasure
Is the greatest treasure
I want to know you measure for measure
I want to know you thought for thought
I'd buy you everything if only it could be bought
But at least my heart I brought
I know it's cliche
But I said what I needed to say
Even though it doesn't matter anyway
Trapped Childhood
Sitting upon my window sill
Laying all weak and frozen still
Looking down upon the world below
Finding solitude where I go
A dungeon room is where I dwell
A secret person in his shell
Life below goes on happy
Though I am a mystery
Breaking from this lonely shell
Going where the people dwell
But finding sin in all creation
I must go back to isolation
Lonesome Wolf
Wondering the woods without the pack
A friend and mate is what he does lack
Nothing to do been that way since high noon
Sitting alone in the lonely light of the moon
Lonesome wolf howls to the moon its loneliness
His self-worth is growing less and less
Wondering forever across the northern wilderness
The loneliness leaves him with anger and stress

For starter's any question you might want to ask about me feel free and I will answer within reason (I won't being giving out my social security # or anything crazy like that). Or if you want to see more of one type of poem or another it would help me sort out which poems to type first, but don't request of me a type of poem to avoid because I have over eight hundred poems and I don't plan cutting any out.
Volume 6 Poetry
The Show
I need to be loved, I need to be kept warm
So I need to blend in with "norm"
Which requires me to transform
So please allow me to get into character before I perform
Forced in an unfamiliar world to fake shape and conform
Pardon me, but it's time for the show
Got to keep my personality on the down low
It's not the one the crowds' come to know
Everything's fake even before the first hello
But if you want to make friends this is how you go
Despite the friends I lack
You and I can't make a pact
If deceiving is a sin then so is this act
There is no disputing that fact
So all polite insincerity I'm forced to take back
Moral Majority
The Moral Majority
Established its authority
By the power of a gun
It became second to none
Now they keep on telling
Screaming, forcing and yelling
For us to be for what they are for
Self-righteously declaring war
Free to be
Whatever they expect of me
To choose between preaching and practicing celibacy
To be racist offended by jokes that are racy
Letting corporate and special interests buy out democracy
Making the error of every man's rule so easy to see
Peace starts with self-resolution
And finding fighting isn't the solution
To our social mental physical or moral pollution
Everybody has their own notion
On stopping the commotion
Looking for the magic potion
To calm the unsteady ocean
Everybody is in pain and oppression
The world is stunned with depression
Looking for answers in the path of aggression
Putting their pain in repression
We all do all that we can
To look for the plan
That will liberate everyman
But who has the right to reprimand
We are all causalities and causers of oppression
Building support by dividing the natural human nation
Although we seek to call our neighbor our friend
How will this injustice end?

Asperger's Syndrome And Autism
Mind's turned on and tuned out
A mystery no one will find out
Fascinated and focused on a distraction
No one can interpret or foretell my reaction
Sometimes seems gifted sometimes dumb
All emotional bridges somewhat numb
Family bonds are the only ones that reach me
Stuck in an alternate reality
Complaints Left And Right
Don't tell me the Bible builds battles
When rock fans march together like tag marked cattle
Don't whine about the prison's injection room
When you evict dead babies from your womb
Don't say you are lower middle class
When you are kissing corporate ass
Mind's turned on and tuned out
A mystery no one will find out
Fascinated and focused on a distraction
No one can interpret or foretell my reaction
Sometimes seems gifted sometimes dumb
All emotional bridges somewhat numb
Family bonds are the only ones that reach me

Don't tell me the Bible builds battles
When rock fans march together like tag marked cattle

When you evict dead babies from your womb

When you are kissing corporate ass
Don't preach to us your moral lessons
When you lead the hungry masses into oppression
Don't speak of communal loyalty to your corporation
When lay offs and pollution reek across your nation
Don't complain of liberals controlling the media
When you are rewriting encyclopedias
Scriptures
I read John 2:16
The evangelist doesn't seem to know what it means
I read Isaiah 2:4
Just as the general with Bible and gun ran to war
I spoke of the 6th Commandment
As the troops were sent
I read Genesis 2:24
Just as a spouse walked out the door
I read Psalms 139:13-16
As I saw the clinic with an unwed teen
I read Isaiah 11:6-9
And suddenly I felt fine
When you lead the hungry masses into oppression
Don't speak of communal loyalty to your corporation

Personal Information
I feel the need to give a little more information. Most of the poems I've posted so far are about something that takes up a third of my volumes of poetry. The three topics I use most often in poetry are romantic love, personal reflection, ideological views. The one I've used the most is ideological views because I guess I can feel sort of proud of myself but I truly don't like any of my three genres which is why I'm not as ambitious as I think I should be for someone who is so positively re-enforced in this habit (what little friends I have do say I'm good at writing, poetry at least). What I hate about each genre is distinct to it's nature. I find when I write love poetry I feel like a phony because what inspired the poetry never works out so I feel very gullible to my own emotions which seems flimsy and almost certainly must make me look like a man whore. When I write reflective it makes me look self-centered I think you can't write reflective without appearing that way even if it's a form of self-evaluation. But
whereas I don't like ideological poems because it makes me look pious and self-righteous but I look back at the poems I feel proud that what the poem represents is something I truly feel is bigger than myself

Fourth Set of Poems
Grand Senses
Soothing sound of the morning waking bird
Was once the grandest voice I ever heard
But then I heard your soft spoken word
The pure blue sky, spotless and clean
Was once the best sight I'd ever seen
But then you came into the scene
Sweet red wine was once the finest thing to sip
Till I had a taste of your strawberry lips
Soft wool and cotton was once the most pleasurable thing I felt
Until you made my heart melt
Blooming June flowers were once the greatest scent
But I assume this change was meant
Because since you came
Nothing ranks the same
A Hug Of Eternal Passion
Your embrace is a kiss upon my bleeding heart
As my head lies securely on your shoulder
And tenderly kiss your neck and all over
And do all I can for my part
My fingers gently caress your curved spine
Then stroke up upon your silk hair
I look into your eyes and my eternal love is there
My heart is yours and yours shall be mine
Never-ending Morning
Your eyes shine like the dawn of the day
The moment paused in your soul ne'er to fade away
Your voice calms me like the morning dove
Wakening me to your abundant love
I never shall find a better place to stay
Like the horizon
You shine on
To show the beauty on your face
You take me to another place
Where all pain is gone

Third Trilogy of Poetry
Dear God (A Satirical Poem)
Dear God some people say you're not real
Others say you're a three in one package deal
Others say you see all but can't feel
Dear God are you out there
Everywhere
Or nowhere at all
Dear Jesus you were the son of a Jew
But you looked Caucasian from a church's point of view
That I saw on a mural some medieval artist drew
Dear God are you out there
Everywhere
Or nowhere at all
Dear God some say there is free will of man
Others say everything is part of your plan
So whose blood is on whose hand
Dear God are you out there
Everywhere
Or nowhere at all
Dear God some say you bless a chosen race
Others say you just help Olympians win first place
But then how come so many exist by your grace
Dear God I know you're out there
Somewhere
Please call

Aquarium
Autistic and numb
Mistaken for dumb
Shelled inside an aquarium
Watching people stare as they come
No one can understand cause they can't communicate
No relative no soul mate
Foreign creatures, foreign place no way to relate
Living alone is the hardest thing to tolerate
American Socialism
Everyone can have a gun but not a job
What else can you expect but an open mob
People pay unions to get a raise and job security
Health care with bureaucratic red tape and pensions you'll never see
You're only as free as the will you are born with
But the government acts like it's giving out free gifts
You fight for a First Amendment Right Congress is paid to protect
So anything you say the Supreme Court will interject
You are jailed and deported for fighting for equality but not for war
Why do we have to kill to have something to die for
The Rich get interest while the Poor pays banks deficient
Paying millionaires for nothing as the Poor pay every cent
Poor families trapped in low income neighborhoods
Not enough tax money to get entitled goods
No education, police, running water, no second chance
Just millionaire politicians and corporations in a far off distance
They are the ones living free
They can afford the luxury
Now that you see the power of money
Can't you tell this ain't a socialist society
Dear God some people say you're not real
Others say you're a three in one package deal
Others say you see all but can't feel
Dear God are you out there
Everywhere
Or nowhere at all
Dear Jesus you were the son of a Jew
But you looked Caucasian from a church's point of view
That I saw on a mural some medieval artist drew
Dear God are you out there
Everywhere
Or nowhere at all
Dear God some say there is free will of man
Others say everything is part of your plan
So whose blood is on whose hand
Dear God are you out there
Everywhere
Or nowhere at all
Dear God some say you bless a chosen race
Others say you just help Olympians win first place
But then how come so many exist by your grace
Dear God I know you're out there
Somewhere
Please call

Aquarium
Autistic and numb
Mistaken for dumb
Shelled inside an aquarium
Watching people stare as they come
No one can understand cause they can't communicate
No relative no soul mate
Foreign creatures, foreign place no way to relate
Living alone is the hardest thing to tolerate
American Socialism
Everyone can have a gun but not a job
What else can you expect but an open mob
People pay unions to get a raise and job security
Health care with bureaucratic red tape and pensions you'll never see
You're only as free as the will you are born with
But the government acts like it's giving out free gifts
You fight for a First Amendment Right Congress is paid to protect
So anything you say the Supreme Court will interject
You are jailed and deported for fighting for equality but not for war
Why do we have to kill to have something to die for
The Rich get interest while the Poor pays banks deficient
Paying millionaires for nothing as the Poor pay every cent
Poor families trapped in low income neighborhoods
Not enough tax money to get entitled goods
No education, police, running water, no second chance
Just millionaire politicians and corporations in a far off distance
They are the ones living free
They can afford the luxury
Now that you see the power of money
Can't you tell this ain't a socialist society
Man's Best Friends: An Animated Sitcom
Man's Best Friend is about a man named Brian Becque who works as a freelance writer who is diagnosed with Asperger's Syndrome, which also in the case of the show means he can communicate with the animals that live with him in his apartment (which allows the pets). Brian in fact gets most of his social and professional advice from his pets despite each pet being a little neurotic. There is Mike the dog with attention deficient disorder, the cat Thomas with obsessive compulsive disorder and a hamster David who is paranoid depressed who all try to help him woo the local librarian Elizabeth. Also I will release the tv pilot scene by scene in later blogs

Another Poem Trilogy
The World
Liberals won't liberate the unborn
Our heads are filled but we never do learn
Hate is a consuming fire and the innocent burn
People judging others by the clothes they've once worn
A nation of men in pain hoping the tables will turn
Conservatives aren't conserving the land
Money has millions at their command
Sinners of lust unitedly stand
Words of truth universally banned
A nation of men are hoping the end is at hand
Humans looking for something liberating
Are finding bodies and minds slowly deteriorating
Is their hope like their morals continually fading
Some looking for easy escapes others profit making
A nation waiting to see what will remain standing
Poverty's Christmas
There is no Merry Christmas for the homeless
No warm meals at their tables to bless
Is it right to celebrate a man who fed the poor
By buying status quo gifts of token love at a corporate store
People want Jesus to be an ornament next to Santa Claus
Not remembering Jesus lived and died for a cause
Hope, love and peace are some things to forever remember
Not just on cold sad nights of December
Where is Life's Guiding Light
When millions have no place to rest at night
Nightly breeze
Citrus sunset
A playful pet
Scented flowers
Drizzling showers
Warmful rays of light
Shiny stars of night

No Offense Taken
My first idea for a show was a sketch comedy inspired by Woody Allen, Monty Python and Mel Brooks called No Offense Taken Every now and then I'll post a sketch I have written down somewhere
My poems a few highlights
Universal Mysteries
God show me how light does travel
Let the mystery unravel
Of how gravity is stronger than me
But yet how weak water vapor may escape the sea
And how prisms detour the path of light
And unveils nature's seven colors bright
Or how earth found its perfect place
And stays on path at perfect pace
Or how a plant seed can bring forth a beautiful flower
Or how a fire that doesn't occupy any space have so much power
Or how does the seed of a man and the womb of his wife
Bring forth family life
Of how each snowflake keeps an unique identity
Or how humans can live on land while fish can live in the sea
And how nitrogen feeds a plant
Or the effective civilization of the ant
Or how the turning of the earth and moon
With the stillness of the sun stay in tune
But God show me how there are those who persist
That you simply don't exist
And how prisms detour the path of light
And unveils nature's seven colors bright
Or how earth found its perfect place
And stays on path at perfect pace
Or how a plant seed can bring forth a beautiful flower
Or how a fire that doesn't occupy any space have so much power
Or how does the seed of a man and the womb of his wife
Bring forth family life
Of how each snowflake keeps an unique identity
Or how humans can live on land while fish can live in the sea
And how nitrogen feeds a plant
Or the effective civilization of the ant
Or how the turning of the earth and moon
With the stillness of the sun stay in tune
But God show me how there are those who persist
That you simply don't exist
Lost Identity
Trapped in a sea of lost identity
And everyone conforms to style.
And wherever fashion will go, the others will follow
With no care whether their message is holy or vile.
But what will be of those searching for their own identity
In a world of souls being duplicated?
Despite the stress to be the same, could they build their own name
Or is it just too complicated?
Dirt Brown Butterfly
Don't mind me
I'm not the one you come to see
I'm not exotic fiery red
So I might as well be dead
Or maybe if I was sky-lit blue
Then I could look lovely too
But I'm just a dirt brown butterfly
Left in a caged home to die
