Living the Good Life in Prison?
In a four by four room
White walls
Trapped in bars.
The dargest place that a man
Will find himself in,
But I get treated pretty well
For what I have done.
Everybody knows me here
But I don't know myself.
I don't have any freedom
No rights
I deserve it.
I'm an animal;
I have killed my wife Nicole
The one woman I lived for.
I am too embarassed of my kids to see me here
To know what I have done.
They will hate me;
I have killed their only mother.
But she made me do it
I really didn't kill her.
He is not part of the mean
He sits in class
But is not learning a thing;
He is in fact third in his class.
He can’t wait to explore the world
He is stuck in this town
With people who don’t think like him.
He grew up so fast
I am not sure how it happened;
This philosopher boy.
He thinks like an adult
Not even most adults think like him
Not even society.
He is a passionate, environmentalist, loving boy.
He wants to change and keep growing
To experience the world
To try anything and everything.
He is a successful human being
He is extraordinary
He will always be better than average.
Strange or Plain Different
They don't confuse creation
One giant leap for resources
Successful individuals
We lock tired eyes
We are different
Their differences are much more obvious
How quick society can be to shove these people into their ill-fitting frames
Chosen to cause ultimate destruction
Go on and pick me apart
You'll know me before you'll search for me
The five of us were just sitting around at some campsite in Maine
Making basic propositions to each other
Their bodies move
Dash silently gleaming
Maintain systolic function
Willful determination
Different way of thinking
Different way of processing info
Intellectual individuals
Don't have to be strange in the eyes of the beholder
Society should be rational in seeing the world in a new light
Aspects of once spoken words drop off
I wasn't there to ask
I am like them
Through This Long Still Night
I have been waiting up for you
Nothing to do
But lie awake in my bed
Through this long still night.
You shouldn't get so concerned;
You know how these things go
Life happens
You meet a friend
You start talking
Time goes by
Through this long still night.
Don't think I don't know
I can see it
In your eyes
In your breath
In the way you talk;
you don't see me the same way anymore
You have gone somewhere else
Through this long still night.
I am right here,
aren't I?
I am here through this long still night
Wanting you
No more games
I promise
Through this long still night.
The Mushroom world
full of happiness;
a song that brings excitement
to the green fungus.
can't stop letting it inspire me
this clusterfuckerish world;
it is a wix happy place
for a sad individual.
this world that brings happiness
and people eat mushrooms.
what if i'm only happy
to forget about the voyeurentity experience?
then the journey slowly ends
fire burns my eyes
my nose drips with blood
i am hurting
don't give up mushrooms
i like the power that you give me
i hate to leave you ygoisteimsi.
These agamenonabnormalities are given the impression to
go to my comfortable place;
preferably the mushroom place
where i like to travel to-
and that is all that matters.
Have a Good Time
Hello old friend it’s been a long, long time
No need to worry, so stop that whine.
You’re lost you say, and directions you seek
Well don’t you fret and let me speak.
We were lovers at one time
You won’t see me and I have lost my mind.
I cannot think I cannot sleep
I feel so bad you make me weep.
Well anyways I will stop my rant
You lost your way, now you scurry like an ant.
You are not that far from the place you chose
You should get a GPS, I have one of those.
Take a right at Kingdom Square
As you can see you are almost there.
It’s around the corner and down the street.
Now you are at the theater, so take a seat.
Someday we should talk again
Before we need a walking cane.
Until that day, I will hold my breath
So make it quick before I choke to death.
Gibberish
A young man who is sobering up
Goes to a Chinese restaurant.
He is trying to look composed,
Yet he keeps failing.
He makes a joke,
“I can't understand the Chinese women speaking.
My brain is hurting
My mind is spinning
My stomach is hungry
These women need to learn English
Because it sounds to me
Like they are saying
BRRRR
TA TA TA!”
The next week
The young man tells the joke to his friends.
Again he tells what happened
Loving the attention,
“...Aaaa-nd my mind was spinning
All I wanted was to eat
And what did I get?
Chinese women talking gibberish.
My ears couldn't have been mistaken
One Chinese lady said BRRRR
While the other said TA TA TA.”
His friends all started laughing except one.
Gibberish never sounded so funny to the rest;
It sure showed the friend's personality in the joke.
Again the young man restated the joke
Having a hard time believing that this friend
Just wasn't getting the joke.
“You didn't even had to be there
To really get this joke.
These Chinese women sounded out of their minds
And it made my head spin.
I say don't let them cross the border
without an American dictionary.
Six months later,
Let's give them a test
To make sure they've earned their stay
And let's give them their citizenship.”
Again all the friends laughed except that same one.
That friend either did not get the joke
Or did not have a sense of humor.
