rhyme

if you can dig
what i'm sayin
if you kinda
understand
the words that are coming out
are from this slim man
from my mind
through the nerves
past the fingertips
to the board
processed through the CPU
uploaded into the internet brain
via wifi
A place where you can see
the things that i have thought
this is just me
me and my visual thoughts

dont miss me

when i'm dead and gone
how will you remember me?
I want a party
a cookout...the best
my family, friends, people
whom i hold close to my heart
somewhere around my chest
to have a good time
and share the laughs
we all once had
tell stories of the past
when i did such and such
how much i loved riding my moto
enjoyed watching ladies pass by
stopping to smell the roses
watching my family interact from a far
getting my hands dirty while working on their cars
i've never asked for anything
never needed anything at all
by their company
their smiles, jokes, laughs
flaws and all
memories last a lifetime
dont miss me when i'm gone
this is just a body of cells to communicate
thats all

A or B....what shall it be?

society says i need to be 'A'
yet society doesn't know of 'B'
'A' is what we're taught
same thing our parents and
many generations before them were taught
'Follow these rules'
'Follow this path'
'live this way'
'think this way'
How does one brainwash an entire society?
Generation upon generation upon generation...
'B' sees 'A' and is amazed
yet 'A' lives confused, dazed
lost in its mental maze

glasses

i was born wearing glass
all i saw was the life everyone else saw
no one told me 'truth'
nor is it something i could see
until one day i noticed the glasses
i then took them off
my new prescription
was of the unknown
or so i had thought
one of which i had always known
few see what i see
even less came imagine
this new world before me
'i love...these new glasses!'

the quake

its been many years
since the area i live in had a quake
not in my life time
but in others
while in japan
its quakes created
a psychological disorder
one that came back almost instantly
just yesterday
there were 3 more quakes
since then
i've felt everyone
yet, i continue to shake
on the inside

words from JK

"...Meditation is one of the greatest arts in life-perhaps the greatest, and one cannot possibly learn it from anybody, that is the beauty of it. It has no technique and therefore no authority. When you learn about yourself, watch yourself, watch the way you walk, how you eat, what you say, the gossip, the hate, the jealousy-if you are aware of all that in yourself, without any choice, that is part of meditation."

- Jidda Krishnamurti

gone

its not often i see the people i love
gone off somewhere doing whatever such and such
i hope they dont miss me when i'm gone
or look back and say 'i wish i spent more time with ----'
death can't be reversed
i cherish the time i have with mom and B
I still can't believe it took so long for me to see
the me that i've always wanted to be
In 2009, i lost 7 friends within 2 months
yet, i'm glad i had the time i had with them
they made me laugh,
told me stories of their past
their memory i carry
forever it will last
I once asked a man,
whom was married for 60+ years,
i saw his wife's life pass away
as the years went by,
'knowing that your wife would die, as she did...would you do it all over again?'
i said very patient
he looked at me smiled
and said 'yes'
i could see he had no regret
he lived his live
loved his wife until the end
.........
hold those close to your heart near
let them know every time you see them they are missed
as one day....we will all be gone...

the same

we are the same humans today
that we were thousands of years ago
needing: food, water, air and shelter
everywhere we go
these rules haven't changed
but somehow
part of us has
we strive to out-do one another
for selfish pleasures
from our fellow sisters and brothers
yet we are still the same
generation after generation
the gene pool multiplied
a complex mathematical equation
that started with the original one
do you not see?
we are the same

funds

a day has yet to pass
that i hear people complain about cash
they buy buy buy
and spend spend spend
a vacuum of consumption
a bag without limit
filling their lives
with nothing but useless bullshit
all 'pre-landfill' goods
moved from one location to another
its always 'i need it'
never 'i want it'
someone asked 'whats the most precious good'
...air....thats what i need the most
food and water follow
