    MY CATCH 22

    Teenage years

    It wasn’t any easy preserver

    I was never in gangs nor the thug route

    Bullied to no end

    Everything was why?

    Never could figure out

    It seemed like an adjustment period

    Times of fuss

    Fights upon Fights

    Life seemed to fall into place

    The word Prosper became meaning

    Sunshine became an embracing warmth

    Fresh air pure

    Wonder flourished into understanding

    Wisdom a solid sustaining

    A new day in a better tomorrow

    I am proud and head up dignity

    Life I never thought I would see

    Here I am

    IT’S TIME

    The Sun and Moon diminish
    Darkness has come
    Redemption no more
    Thunder roars and Earthquake shakes
    A world years of corruption
    Never learned and always thinking Evil
    Destruction mounts
    Ignorance virtues
    Echoing Souls
    Heaven’s wrath
    Questions with no answers
    Fate turned to fear
    Distant Justice
    Times up
    Pay the Price

    JACK BE

    Jack being thinking

    Understanding would be missing

    Thinks that

    Brings no fact

    Mathematical approach with no Subtract
    Says words

    Has no meaning

    Unassured

    Questions life

    Excepts no advice

    A world his own

    Loss in his own thoughts

    Observes, but what does he really see?

    Doubtful

    His life is suddenly on a pause

    He is the cause

    The name Jack Be

    He is something to see

    Genuine maybe

    Snake dance

     

    The frown lines of persistent fear have already wormed their way under the pores of the skin.
    Lean, acting on inner orders, just as wise and foolish. In the closed window of eyes eager to testify, it is becoming more and more difficult to feel the Truth and the Good. We have to wait for the final showdown and no one asks: how long? or what for?

    It consists of skinny pearls of light ruins in the afternoon of the constructed house of cards.
    Concentration, shrewd, double-edged calculation converge in a single point. The vulnerable soul now thinks twice about who it can reveal its tormented past to, who can it really open up to, like a flower, truly? When they run, they lean more and more outwards, until they end up hanging on their own legs, money-hungry career monkeys, ass-licking, slobbering idiots.

    Everyone still feels the expanding passage of time.
    The palpable beater knows that only the minutes can expire permanently by tic...

    Angel

    One of a beautiful soul just arrived 

    You may not notice but she is pure as white

    Calm, quite, and wise

    A gentle reminder to take some peace of advice 

     

    Can I keep you for awhile?

    You soothe this innermost feelings aside

    You're such an angel in disguise 

    Happy to be right by your side

     

    Longing for your presence

    Such tender loving care in essence 

    Having you as my confidence

    Putting me into silence

    SYNTHESIS

     

    Already drifting further and further away: not only from Life, from the microcosm of Existence, to which it would still be good and advisable to hold on faithfully - but also from the camp of the cheap, wretched horde-human blue, deliberately avoiding, far away. Executioner Time already kneads our molecular cells every day, and later discards them completely as useless cripples.

    The immobility of dreams might still be necessary so that we can forget the thin, lying-tin reality. The same neutral, multi-classed Lack receives its innocent victims, because more and more people are blindly hitting the thinned membrane wall of an invisible Life. Just hitting back and forth without support, just like a bouncing ping-pong ball in Space and Time, as if the theory of relativity had been rewritten. Expanse has long since been abolished, only bird-bone bodies hang on the horizons of empty spaces, some permanent, indifference-smelling, vile arrangement, with which they...

    AS YOU SNAP ON YOURSELF

     

    Let's say you play it, because you yourself now believe not only your wretched conception of the Real, the silly circumstances of your awakening, but the whole of the immortal, flirtatious glances, which would have been worth even going into the fire for.

    From you, this step-mother, your world, another small, but still more significant piece, keeps slipping out of you, and while you are thinking more and more that you are not deliberately revealing, you are not showing the mirror tiles of your stripped Soul so that they can get to know you better, you are still wondering if it is good is that you deliberately exclude everyone from the tragedies of your life, like a seven-locked door.

    - Have you seen the hunchbacked toilet lady while wearing transparent shoes and you can't understand, let's say, does she believe in more livable Tomorrows?! The worst thing about a dream is that in the end - unless you are a lifeless stiff yourself - soo...

    In the hour of self-pity


     
    I thought the devastation on all total levels had now become permanent. The swings of the playground were used by strange hands, as well as faces bleeding from wounds. Many times it would have been better blindfolded than stumbling through human-lost, accelerating Time deaf-blind. It's as if only the hostile children play just like a cat with a mouse. We kill and humiliate each other at the same time, just like absolute adults.

    Then I dream of an empty tire room. Crayons, colored felt-tip pens on the table - I'm standing high on top of the big slide; someone will knock you down unnoticed, but I would still cling to the useless ring of steel railings. No one lends a supportive hand or even helps!

    I am amazed at how palpable the evil tendency of the comic is even in childhood, and I am terrified of those who have ruined me spiritually and put my life on hold. – I still remember the pathetic continuation, I found myself alone agai...

    Adventure rush sounds

    It was the Greyhound Bus

    Stretched Dog on bus both sides

    Total laid back

    The air conditioning was fine

    The Driver announced stops in route and final stop at the end

    Travel had begun

    Highway to Highway

    Off Ramp adventures

    Around the bend

    Bus conversational friends
    Journey far

    Relaxing being better than driving a car

    Friendly faces and places...

    A SALIENT-EXAMPLE

     

    In the noise of the deserted street, just like in the secretly whispered Morse code of prison walls, the entire series of bat-observant coincidences is still lurking there, almost in protest; the ceiling of our hopes was swept away one by one by a Hand with an Executioner's fist. Our dead can close the lonely walls of the Soul against us.

    The buzzing, deceitful half-dreams often tempt the living, who are preparing for the sober robot in the morning and hear the Jericho horns of the factory sirens wailing mournfully from afar. Wouldn't it be better to fall back into the Infinite, or just fall out of History right where we are?! It is as if the Yew-life Existence, which we once believed to be our own, now depends on Latrok's chess game. Our crooked mirrors slowly curve towards us.

    They are tricked, led on and betrayed by the scrambling Tomorrows. Crying wrinkles on the marble faces of Time is still better than lying to ourselves with a ...
