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

New Segment

Anyone reading a post on blogspot is always free to make a comment so when or if anyone reads and wants to make a comment I will address the issue. 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

A Year Looking Back

9/11/01-9/11/02

We must not go into revolution
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?
(Daniel 2:44)(Isaiah 2:4)(Revelation 21:3,4)(Matthew 6:9-11)(Ecclesiastes 9:11)

Fifth Volume of Poetry

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
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
