Ocupy Earth!




Awaken from your
naiveté,
and
harken to what I’ve
got to say!
The veil of deception
is rent:
an oligarchy runs
government.
They feed you
malarkey,
keep you low on
hierarchy;
sedate you with:
NFL football,
high tech toys,
new drugs
and
more cunning
ploys;
smoke and mirrors,
hocus pocus,
any distraction to 
blur focus,
so no one can see
how they rape
the earth,
you and me.
It's time we take it 
all back from a
few selfish
pricks,
and
begin living for
more than an
iPhone6!

Thief




You rob space
on my mattress.
You rob peace 
from my sleep.
However,
you can never 
steal my dreams;
no, they are
mine to keep.

Poems, like some relationships, are often brief.

Acceptance - Poetry for a More Diversified America



I’m not a friend you’d imagine,
or ever come to expect;
but one who’d always be there,
when others may neglect.

I’m called odd, a little different,
some may say I’m queer.
It shouldn’t even matter much,
when one's motives are sincere.

A friend’s a friend regardless if
his girlfriend’s name is Ted.
There’s so much more to others
than who one takes to bed.

I’m a warm, sociable person,
not some social disease;
a slight aberration of Nature,
(ever so slight, if you please.)

I’ve a big heart and joyful spirit,
as you have come to see;
a true blue friend forever yours,
if you’d be the same to me.

Technology in the Third World: Too Much, Too Soon?




Without America's advances in technology, there would be no Internet, no YouTube, and certainly, no Facebook. Without America's greedy, business profit mongers, this technology would not have spread viral across the globe, and into the hands of those who might use it to promote radical social and political cause. 

 
Instead of reli
gious zealots rioting across the Islamic world this week over a YouTube video placing their prophet Mohammed in a less than stellar light, 


they would rather have been focusing their time on charging women who had been raped with adultery and stoning them to death, cutting off the hands of petty thieves,


and beheading whoever they believed at any given moment was not worthy of life in accordance with their interpretation of the teachings of mohammed, and the will of allah.


They are a simple, savage lot by civilized Western standards, and even after the west, has blessed them with satellite TV, Internet, KFC's, Hardees, McDonald's, Abercrombie and Fitch, and iPhones, they remain a simple and savage lot.
 
After two days of silence, the new leader of Egypt made his first comment on the crisis taking place at the U.S. Embassy in Cairo. And, where did he make it? !!!Facebook!!! The leader of a sovereign state commented for the first time, since the onset of a potentially serious international crisis, on Facebook! LOL! ROFLMAO! J/K.


Perhaps you might consider "friending" him. I haven't taken the time to check out his profile pic, but, tell me, is he standing shirtless in his bathroom holding an iPhone up to the mirror? With the enormous flood of new technology pouring into the Third World, it appears things have mostly been left up to monkey see, monkey do. 

Why ask if a region is ready for it. If they have the money, that's being ready enough. What matters most to western technology suppliers is that they have a new, rich market with money to burn  (when not off burning down foreign embassies).

I strongly believe that one cannot change thousands of years of primitive culture and behavior, by force feeding technology and consumerism down the throats of the rest of the world, which may simply not be at the right place in its intellectual and cultural evolution to handle the full impact and ramifications.

 
Just because we manage to make the Third World LOOK like us, it is in all actuality, NOT us.  Put a suit on an ape, and an iPhone in its hand, and it is still an ape.

Ice Cream Faces




Must the children
hunger and cry?
Must they hurt
not knowing why?

Must they know
darkness and pain?
Must their days
be filled with rain?

We all must help,
it’s time we start
to bring back hope
to little hearts.

Let’s show them life
has sunny places,
and paint big smiles
on ice cream faces.

Hair Tease (Hippie Chick Girl)


You
long-haired,
hippie chick
girl,
who’s straight
hair has no
curl,
you make a
guy’s flag
unfurl,
as you give
those locks a
twirl,
making them
swing and
swirl,
saying: Care
to give it a
whirl?
You
big tease,
hippie chick
girl!

A Vote for Obama is a Vote for Me!





I gave up twenty years 
of personal freedom,
so all of you could
have yours.

I placed my life on
the line many a time,
here at home and on
distant shores.

All I ask in return is
for my freedom back,
to pursue a happiness
meant to be;

The freedom to freely
follow my heart;
to pursue all that feels
right to me.

Don’t judge me by
how I look, what I do,
whether I believe in
your god above;

Don’t judge me by
your chosen beliefs;
don’t dictate who 
I should love.

I gave it up for you,
America: religions, 
races, and colors of 
every kind.

For twenty selfless
years I had your back;
I'm trusting now that
you'll have mine.

Cash Cow: Cure to Addiction?





I’m overcoming a battle
with an addiction
of having to post every
poem that I write.

I’ll gradually post less
as the days pass,
tho’ writing long hours
on into the night.

When I publish my first
book of ditties,
I’d like it to offer some
sweet mystery.

I mean, why would one
go buy the cow,
when one’s getting its
milk for free?

Grilled PB&J (or, The Breakfast in Bed That Wasn't)






You said it was my
turn to get up ‘n
make breakfast.

You said the same old
same old just
wouldn’t do.

So, I made two PB&J
sandwiches and
grilled them.

So fucking delicious,
there’s none left
for you.
