Temperance

The streets are clean 

But only by the street sweeper

Our hearts are open 

But only for the surgeon 

Our minds are sponges 

But only for social media 

Our passions are set for justice 

But only for the social warriors 

9 rules of temperament 

Goodness 

Kindness 

Gentleness 

Patience 

Self -control 

Faithfulness

Peace 

Love 

Joy

 

10 perfect laws tempered with mercy 

Is all we need 

To create a world really worth living in. 

 

I wish you could see it with me instead of against me.

We are the same but our eyes see differenly.

I love you.

Gambling With Ladies of the Evening

by Jeph Johnson

 

What is keeping a john from propositioning a hooker in the following manner?:

 

john: "Hey, I'll bet you $50 that you won't give me a blow job"

 

hooker: "You're on!"

 

If the "hooker" is an undercover cop the most she can cite him for is illegal gambling, which, if I am not mistaken, is not as stiff of a crime as solicitation and/or prostitution. There certainly isn't as much of a stigma attached.

Dancing Up North

by Jeph Johnson


An obviously hot-bodied young American girl wrote in to a dancer's Usenet FAQ forum asking for advice as to whether or not she should become a stripper.

 

The Webmistress/Dancer advised against making this decision at such a young age, but also mentioned that in Canada girls can start erotic dancing at age sixteen.

 

Is this true? If so, how prevalent is this and are there any clubs that specialize in this sort of thing?

 

If it's legal it's okay, eh?

 

I am more interested in compiling a record of the hypocritical inconsistency in today's society than actually taking a vacation up North to go watch REAL naked high-schoolers.

 

So basically what we as a society are saying, in Canada it is considered a legal form of self-expression for a teenager to seduce a Canadian hoser, but in the United State’s "land of liberty" it is considered a harsh and incurable crime for a man to sexually desire a sixteen-year-old (even though nearly half of all of our movies, including the Oscar winning "American Beauty" and critically acclaimed “Lolita" contain these very themes).

 

The odd thing is that I can name at least five girls under 18 who are quite comfortable with their sexuality and might benefit from this sort of self expression, and I can also show you hundreds of 23 year olds who's maturity level makes me think they should have no place in the erotic entertainment industry.

Shooting

I cannot figure out my problem,

I sit alone in my room.

and for once I’d like to think my parents were right-

I’m fine, just 13.

 

I understand why I’m afraid of heights

I am afraid of being  towered over,

looking past me to someone else,

 

I am forgotten.

 

Years later, I am only known when being seen in the wrong light,

I am only seen on the TV,

or the jury look at me,

I see the blood on my hands,

the prosecutor cannot let me see more land,

I am scared for my fate,

I act like I am without a care,

 

I don’t think the death penalty is fair.

Counsel's Christmas Bargain

 

Christmas on death row, surreal,

Being despised by all the world,

Hate surrounding all you feel,

Yet at your core,

You're not unfurled.

 

 

Ask me to be sorry 

For a wrong I did not do,

Who is being forgiven 

Is it me?

Or is it you?

 

 

There's no issues with forgiveness,

I'm a sinner, just like you,

Reminded in my every breath,

I ponder this,

Do you?

 

 

Ask me to be sorry 

For a wrong I did not do,

Who is being forgiven 

Is it me?

Or is it you?

 

 

My trial now awaits me,

And you're asking for remorse,

Do you have the sense to realize that

You've written me discourse?

 

 

Ask me to be sorry 

For a wrong I did not do,

Who is being forgiven 

Is it me?

Or is it you?

 

 

Integrity is what becomes

Of living in ones truth,

To urinate upon the stand 

Is more than just uncouth.

 

 

Ask me to be sorry 

For a wrong I did not do,

Who is being forgiven 

Is it me?

Or is it you?

 

 

So as the hate surrounds me

And I ponder things so real,

I turn my back upon the jabs 

As you inflict this as a "deal".

 

 

Ask me to be sorry 

For a wrong I did not do,

Who is being forgiven 

Is it me?

Or is it you?

 

 

I know this label in your mind,

Can never be erased,

The difference between us,

You and me,

Is what's left when I look in your face.

 

 

Ask me to be sorry 

For a wrong I did not do,

Who is being forgiven 

Is it me?

Or is it you?

 

 

You ask of me to sell my soul,

As yours lay rancid fermenting,

I have the time to ponder such things,

Though I'm weary of lamenting.

 

 

Ask me to be sorry 

For a wrong I did not do,

Who is being forgiven 

Is it me?

Or is it you?

 

 

So this is my life,

My death,

My plight,

My life has taken stand,

And though I'm only 17,

I'm asked to be a man.

To see the ugliness, so stark,

So glaring,

Cold, remiss,

You've sealed my fate without a conscience,

To your own soul's death wish.

 

 

 

Ask me to be sorry 

For a wrong I did not do,

Who is being forgiven 

Is it me....?

 

 

Or is it you?

I am Alpha

I am the first of my kind, generation one, the creation after creation; designed by the program, born for the purpose of keeping order within the system, within the establishment. I exist to erase threats to the order; to hunt down the lone elements that seek to upset the balance between the powers; the cyber cells that operate on the outer edge of the planetary system. I am the threat to the threat, the protector of the order; the assassin.

Safe Zone 12

Folder: 
Camino

Safe zone 12, the place that was said to offer protection; that was said to welcome the uninfected, had long since become a living hell under the rule of the Sergent. Women were randomly selected for his deranged breeding program, which was nothing more than slavery, girls from puberty were routinely passed from one solider to another as though they were stock to pass inspection; however those who attempted to escape or defy his authority would know what true hell is. Many were tortured savagely and publicly shamed for disobedience, or worse; stripped of their skins and bound, and left on the outskirts to the rabid infected. Those who were simply shot, were the lucky ones.
