23rd set of Poetry

The Sting Of The WASP
I feel the sting of the WASP pricking at my skin
But the wound that hurts the most is the one within
Segregation splits the whole
And leaves the mind a vacant hole
The WASP fights to defend it's kind which isn't kind
Destroying unity and peace of mind
You cannot see the pain that's placed onto the beaten heart
That comes when the human family is set apart
Prodigal Sons do not see God loves all His Children
That all can hear His Voice from His Home and are welcomed to come in

The World II
The world is being torn apart
By each and every broken heart
The world is dying from lack of Godly love
What it needs is the peace of the dove
But peace is divided into smaller pieces by each war
And the only love we can find is bought from a whore
What are we doing where are we going
Stonewalls and iron curtains cover over what we should be showing
This world will end in a cold fire
If we don't harness natural love and desire
The final destruction will be the final end
If we don't look at our neighbor as our friend

Ideal Relationship
You gave me more than I thought I could receive
A relationship where neither are deceived
Without mind games we become heart menders
We become a credit to our genders

Man's Best Friends- Scene XII

(at Elizabeth's house)
(Brian rings bell and Elizabeth answers)
Elizabeth (librarian): Hi Brian
Brian (man): (peering inside) Wow what a large house
Elizabeth: (laughing) Well come inside and take a look at how big it is from the inside
Brian: (walking in) Well you know I went to Carlsbad Cavern and Mammoth Cave and they looked rather small on the outside but were immensely large on the inside, but that's how cave's work I guess (looks inside and sees lit scented candles and potpourri and a set table, Brian looks nervous)
Elizabeth: Don't worry this is just a practice date.
Brian: (puzzled) A practice date? Do you always have these preliminary auditions for all potential dates?
Elizabeth: No this is just practice for you so you can know what to do on a date. Since practicing with either of you two sisters would just seem creepy to you I was the only possible alternative.
Brian: You're the only one possible but you're certainly not an alternative you're the first pick.
Elizabeth: (sweet and friendly) Oh that's so sweet you're doing great already.
Brian: (hopeful) So you liked that.
Elizabeth: (casually) Yes (time passes as Brian and Elizabeth are dining on steak at the dining room table) Now I made steak since I know it's one of the few dinner foods you eat and I thought for a first practice date you should have something you are comfortable with.
Brian: (shyly) Thank you
Elizabeth: (smiling with head tilted) Well you are welcomed. Besides it gives me a chance to put my dad's old grill to some use it's been sitting in my backyard for years unused. I don't typically eat grilled food except grilled chicken which I get passing a Subway's or such.
Brian: Well do you like the steak?
Elizabeth: Well do you?
Brian: Yes of course you even made it well done just how I like it.
Elizabeth: Thank you and I like it too even though it's not on my diet.
Brian: What diet? Atkins? The Zone?
Elizabeth: Oh god no. Just the old fashion chicken and fish diet. No meat except chicken and fish.
Brian: The only diet with any merit is the kosher diet (correcting himself) which is basically a less strict form of the chicken and fish diet and an even less strict form of the vegetarian diet.
Elizabeth: (laughs) I love your conversation style.
Brian: It's the only style I have. (Elizabeth laughs again) Thanks for being so amused most people just find me awkward.
Elizabeth: Well you're the only guy I know with any personality.
Brian: Really?
Elizabeth: Well the only one with a nice personality.
Brian: A nice personality doesn't mean as much to most women as being normal does, what makes you different?
Elizabeth: Because in twenty four years experience I've learned a nice personality, being normal and being male are three things that don't go together. and seeing you make such a struggle to get to get to know me shows you really care for me. This experiment was not just for you
Brian: (intrigued) Really?
Elizabeth: I just wanted to have a date where I know the guy won't pressure me to have sex on the first date once I say no once.
Brian: (anxious) Well I know what it's like to be under pressure in fact the non-sexual part of the date is a huge pressure for most men. I know sex is not a small issue but most men men feel rejected if the date doesn't go that way.
Elizabeth: But you always seemed like that minute percent of men who don't worry about sex on the first date.
Brian: (anxious) I fear failure, which is why most men want sex so quickly, but that's why I'm so shy about it. But it's a double edged sword because I still feel failure to connect to a date unless they become comfortable with me sexually.
Elizabeth: Well I'm comfortable with you sexually that's why I'm talking about it with you, and I'm comfortable emotionally with you as well but that doesn't mean I want to take sex or the person I'm with, for that matter, for granted. I would want to fully appreciate you, the love we would share and the mutual sexual affection we would have for each other before being sexual with you and even then I would want it in the most respectable, romantic and passionate way possible for me and my perspective mate.
Brian: In that case any man should feel like a king who wins your sexual affection.
Elizabeth: (curiously) That's the first time I've heard you say sex in a normal comfortable way.
Brian: Sex always kinda felt like a dirty thing till you just described it.
Elizabeth: Well thank you (times passes and they are at her door)
Brian: So may I ask you for a second practice date?
Elizabeth: When?
Brian:
Anytime you want I'm always free. I'm a paid man with no work hours so I'm always available for you.
Elizabeth: (steps closer to him holding his hands) Now that's what a woman wants to hear.
Brian: Huh? I always thought it was "no you don't look fat in those jeans"
Elizabeth: (giggles and gently kisses him) How about Friday at eight?
Brian: (anxious) Great where should we meet?
Elizabeth: (adoringly) Ahhh you're getting all anxious again.
Brian: (anxious) Well yeah
Elizabeth: Is the intimacy intimidating you?
Brian: (in relative relief) Well-ll yeah just because I don't know whether to interpret this as still the practice date or if this is just your natural emotions?
Elizabeth: Everything I'm doing is practice (Brian looks hurt and Elizabeth laughs) but you should know it wouldn't be a good practice date if I didn't naturally.
Brian: And what is naturally?
Elizabeth: I am acting totally as if I were dating a stranger. (Brian grins boyishly) Oh yeah and I'll go over to your place next time.

Volume 22 Poetry

If I Were A Girl (If I Were A Boy parody)
If I were a girl
I could give all my heart to one who doesn't care
And never appreciate the one who's always there
If I were a girl
I could say I want a nice type of guy
But given the chance I wouldn't give one a try
If I were a girl
I would work out in a tight shirt and miniskirt
And call every guy looking a sick old pervert
If I were a girl
I would flirt to see who loves me more
And claw out the eyes of anyone who calls me a whore
If I were a girl
I would insist that you love me for who I am within
But spend my hours beautifying my skin
If I were a girl

Tribute To Rodney
I sat and laughed at my own insecurity
You found humor where we'd leave misery
When we didn't have any hope
Your humor was a tool to cope
You showed we could bond with our mutual depression
We could be happy taking our feelings out of repression
We were united
As the world's uninvited
We could find a better way of dealing
Expressing every hurt feeling
Finding our humor is our healing

Nations Of Man (Prophesy Of Isaiah)
Nations of man why won't you disarm
Turn you tools of death to tools of the farm
Feeding the oppressed and needy protects them from harm
Not becoming a nation on the brink of chaos and alarm
Is a nation strong when the poor die young and weak
Is there any justice if only money can speak
How can a nation be holy when vain idols are all they seek
What hope is there for any nation when Earth's seems so bleak
