Why Bother?



Maybe they only judge me for my exterior, don't look forth nor beyond the surface.
They claim to see me for what I seem.
The complexities of my dynamics reach to extend outside the line.
I'm outside the box, into the rectangle.
It's the shell, the hard skin.
The destined fate the world has given us,
they see us all as part of the same extending line.
I cut the corner, into a new direction seeking a different path.
But yet I receive laughs and get mocked.
Trapped in the imagery, this imaginary box.
I paint the image purple yet all they see is black.
No chance to set forth a new goal.
Why bother with this kid!?
He's just like the others!
They all seem the same to me.
Bunch of hooligans, disturbing the peace.
He thinks he can change our minds, our views are steadfast.
There's no need for you to try.
Why bother writing these poems?
There's no words that will change our minds.
Yet I still scribble and doodle hoping one day they'll pass the misread title,
to open the page and read my words until the end of the last chapter,
to further understand.
And open some minds that will read outside the lines-in between the letters-and comprehend the message.
That purple image often seen as just black.
But, Why bother?
Their stubbornness won't give a person like me the chance.
They have their backs turned without even giving a glance.
I stand by myself in the corner,
pleading for a read.
Maybe they'll learn to appreciate my image when my fingers finally bleed.

Inside Your Hands

Parables fumble in unprepared hands| Deprived of gifts bestowed to thee| As humans we seek shelter beneath a tree| When our feet become weak| And our needs extend beyond our means| As rain pours| It cleanses our soul| Dormant ideas start to grow| Yet we turn a blind eye| To what's before our sight| Taking the easy way| Shunning plights| Fighting is not a physical ordeal| It's more of a rejection to extol the almighty rule| Exploring alternatives to fables disguised as facts| Letters shredded in half| Eulogies embedded on a golden calf| The story was written for you to digest| The ending inside your hands| Inside your thoughts is the rest|

I Walk Along The Road

I love nature bare| Bare as the bears searching the rivers for salmon| Bare as the deer roaming the woods| Crossing the street until that fatal accident comes in the form of the bright light it sees just before the light shatters into pieces and darkness takes hold of the scene| I walk the rocky road bare| To feel those rough edges caress my feet| I sleep with no tent| The leaves from the trees are all the shelter I need| No backpack hunching my back| I search and gather my meals to fill the nourishment of my needs| The stars lead my way| So I hunt for the night| Without a compass and follow the glitters in the sky| I don't boast about my accomplishment| Because I have yet to accomplish anything| The shared journey between my feet and I as I bare my soles into mud| And cuddle without awakening my desires| Allowing them more sleep before they awake me from my dreams| Love every inch of land like this were your holy land| Black Elk speaks from cr...

Excavating Thoughts

Excavating thoughts purge the deep swell in an abundant forest filled with catacombs| Think not of what to say| Rather| Think of formations and placement for your words| The expression expedite hidden phrases| A realm in multitude of scenic shades| Which fill stains and covers from edge to edge| Put in motion a rehearsed visual| Captured for later interpretation and judgement| A glory outdrew| A painting foreseen inside that thought| Once emerged from a projector working its way from picture to sound| From sound to dialects| From dialects to expression| From expression to memorized interpretations or unsightly inked writings| Exclusive to emotional reincarnations| Contemplation and relegation amount heavy loads| To collapse the foundation in which laid heavy groundwork| Obscure water waves regulate the sounds of prejudgments| Before seen in the obscurity of the themes| Awake from the thankfulness of your mind| And enter into the depths of the b...
