<div>From ten thousand feet away I was staring at myself and wondering who the hell I was…a million people have come through my life and I still do not understand what they are saying to me…when I die I want to go see god and ask him or her why they fucked with me so much during this life…all I wanted was to be happy and I could have died as a child and all would have been well…but no…the great one had more fun and games in mind for me and now I am caught in a web of their cruelty and games…I have to live the life I was given and that is the curse of the whole thing…did you know that vampyres cannot kill them selves??...sometimes I want to just go to a far away place where I don’t know myself…where I don’t know anyone and no one has a face…but that is not reality…reality is suffering and having to smile about the whole thing…we think that life is a blessing when really it is a curse…I remember when I was a little boy…things were so simple…well except for the racial tension…the fact that my father was dying and I was the youngest and the only one still at home…in my life I don’t think I have ever been close to anyone…except for my son and daughter…but still I try to make the best of it…soldiering on like a true trooper…when really I want to lay down my gun and shout at the commanding officer that I will not fight his battles for him anymore…and I have to wonder…who would miss me were I dead??...i doubt that any would but maybe that’s just me…I accept death as a valued part of life and I want mine…I do not know what I want to do…only what I have to do and it’s been that way for a very long time…I don’t think that I have ever been happy in this life…or if I was I don’t remember it…I want some solace…I want to be taken care of for a change but what happens is that I end up taking care of everyone else around me…I want to get drunk and stoned and go out of my fucking mind and do something that I normally wouldn’t but I can’t because there is no one to take care of the mess that would result…I want to go crazy…or maybe I already am and I just don’t know it…like bruce willis in that movie where the kid is telling him that he sees dead people and bruce doesn’t get it that if the kid is talking to him that he must be dead also…but hey…never mind me…the trees all have black leaves and the sun is burning a hole in my eyes…all the streams of happiness are dry and the ocean of love is polluted with pornography and discharge from a million billion cocks and cunts which are all diseased…what can I say to the bird of me that flies through the caustic air losing his feathers??...what can I say that would make him not want to just fly into the cesspool that we call society and fly head on into a light pole or a plate glass window…I wish I had some chocolate jesus to calm me down just now…I wish I had enough explosives to shatter the planet…I wish I had a smile to give you but I don’t have any of those things…all I have is these words and you probably can’t understand them…no worries…par for the course…as I said in the beginning…I have had millions pass through my life and none of them got it either…so why would I expect anyone else to??</div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/poetryjams">Thistles and Marigolds</a> - 1 reply </div>

<div>She grew up black and blue. She grew up to paint others black and blue too. Any tool would do. It was the power of art, the art of power, that inflated her so she could jump out of her own shoes and lift off above the rabble, power to not hurt, by hurting others. The Black and Blue period... They say Picasso had it for 5 years. Apparently it can last even 75 years... variations on the same theme... <br/>There is no more power to hurt others, no one has any power on her. Daily, i am pulling great rainbows across the sky, a wide open palette, dripping with colors, just for her... And still, grimly determined, every once in a while this frail old lady falls all over herself, you might say "head over heels", breaks a bone or two, <br/>but no matter... you could almost detect a smile on her face "see what i did?", as if she feels alive, in her element, the only one she knows, my poor old mother, <br/>Black and Blue. </div> <div> posted in <a href="http://tribes.tribe.net/poetryjams">Thistles and Marigolds</a> - 6 replies </div>
