PostPoems Be Artistic. Be Creative. Be Inspired!

I AM LISTENING TO A FREE TAPPING SUMMIT AND THEY ARE TALKING ABOUT PROCRASTINATION AND I REALIZED ALTHOUGH I AM A MAJOR PROCRASTINATOR IT NEVER EVER FACTORS INTO POETRY....PROCRASTINATION NEVER COMES INTO PLAY WHEN POETRY IS INVOLVED...SUCH A SIMPLE FAST PROCESS...IT COMES AND  THEN IT'S DONE...

ON SECOND THOUGHT TRY NOT TO  IMAGINE THAT...IT'S NOT A PRETTY PICTURE...

JUST WATCHED WORTH AND WAS THINKING ABOUT HOW PRETTY MUCH EVERYONE HAS SELF SABOTAGED THEMSELVES AT SOME POINT IN THEIR LIVES...WONDERING WHY IT SEEMS TO BE A TREND...THERE ARE SO MANY EASY WAYS TO DO IT...KINDA LIKE PICK YOUR POISON YOU KNOW....BUT WHY DO IT...SEEMS SO SENSELESS...AND YET IT HAPPENS...

OFTEN FEELS LIKE YOU ARE ON AUTOPILOT...PICKING STUFF UP AND HAVING TO WRITE IT DOWN FAST OR RECORD IT BEFORE YOU LOSE IT CUZ IT IS ELUSIVE...IT CAN LEAVE JUST AS QUICKLY AS IT COMES...BUT WHY DOES IT COME TO YOU AND WHY DO YOU FEEL THE NEED TO RECORD IT...OFTEN USING WORDS YOU MIGHT NOT NORMALLY SAY AND EVEN LOOKING THEM UP TO MAKE SURE THEY MAKE SOME KINDA SENSE IN SOME WAY...A CONUNDRUM...HAD TO LOOK THAT ONE UP...HA HA...NOT THAT IM COMPLAINING...I DON'T MIND IT BUT IT BOGGLES THE MIND...

I ACTUALLY RECORDED THIS FIRST BEFORE WRITING IT DOWN....

I WAS THINKING OF SOMETHING SO RIDICULOUS I HEARD ON MASTERMINDS MOVIE TRAILER WHERE A COP WAS LOOKING AT A PIC OF A SUSPECT AND  DESCRIBING HIM SAYING HE LOOKS LIKE KENNY ROGERS AND KENNY LOGGINS HAD A LOVE CHILD AND THEN KENNY G SHOWED UP TO THE BIRTHDAY PARTY AND STARTED PLAYING FLUTE AND MESSED THAT BOY UP...IT WAS SO RIDICULOUS YET HILARIOUS AT THE SAME TIME....THAT WAS AN EXAMPLE OF IMAGINATION BUT HIM SAYING THAT AND YOU SEEING THE GUY...THE DESCRIPTION REALLY KINDA FIT AT THE SAME TIME....ANYWAY I WAS THINKING ABOUT THAT WHEN I CAME UP WITH THIS POEM...I KEPT SAYING IT OVER AND OVER SO I WOULDN'T FORGET IT AND THEN RECORDED IT RIGHT AWAY AND THEN WROTE IT DOWN TO SHARE IT...

WE SHOULD ALL BE ABLE TO SEE THE STARS AT NIGHT... NO MATTER WHERE WE ARE.

SOMETHING CAN AND SHOULD BE DONE. IT IS A GOD GIVEN RIGHT TO SEE THE STARS AT NIGHT. PLENTY OF FREE ENTERTAINMENT UP THERE....

ARE YOU HERE

ARE YOU REALLY HERE

BE PRESENT

BE MINDFUL

BE HERE NOW

WE NEED YOU

 WATCHING PLATOON AND WONDERING WHY. WHY AM I WATCHING A WAR MOVIE....I HATE WAR. I AM TOTALLY AGAINST IT. THERE ARE NO WINNERS ONLY LOSERS. WAR NEVER MAKES SENSE. WE ARE IN NEED OF PEOPLE WITH MORALS WHO CARE ABOUT ALL LIFE ON THIS PLANET AND DO NO HARM. SADLY TOO MANY PSYCOPATHS WITHOUT MORALS OR CONSCIENCES SOMEHOW ARE IN CHARGE. CORRUPTION IS SO OUT OF CONTROL. IT'S PRETTY PATHETIC. I HOPE THERE ARE A LOT MORE HUMANS WHO SUPPORT PEACE AND ARE AGAINST WAR...TOO MANY JUST DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO TO  FIX THE BACKWARD THINKING OF THOSE WHO FIND IT TOO PROFITABLE TO GIVE IT UP....TOO GREEDY...CARING MORE ABOUT MAKING MONEY THAN ANYTHING ELSE. VERY FRUSTRATING. PEOPLE ARE BRAINWASHED  GIVEN MEDALS FOR KILLING PEOPLE OR SAVING THEIR SIDE AT THE COST OF THE OTHER SIDE...WHATEVER...TRUTH BE TOLD THEIR MEDALS MAY AS WELL SAY...I WAS A BRAINWASHED PAWN IN A RICH MAN'S  GAME... THERE ARE NO HEROES IN WAR...ONLY BRAINWASHED MEN TOLD THEY ARE SACRIFICING THEMSELVES FOR THEIR COUNTRY. THAT IS A BUNCH OF B.S. THEY ARE HELPING SUPPORT THE CORPORATE REGIME..WHY IS IT SO OBVIOUS TO SOME WHILE OTHERS ARE OBLIVIOUS...BECAUSE SOME USE AND TRUST THEIR INTUITION TO IDENTIFY THE PROPAGANDA AND SEE IT FOR THE LIES IT IS WHILE OTHERS ARE TRUSTING THE WRONG SOURCE AND BELIEVING THE PROPAGANDA  LIES TO BE TRUTH....THAT IS ALL...THAT IS HOW I SEE IT...

WE ALL MAKE MISTAKES. MISTAKES ARE LESSONS IF WE LEARN FROM THEM. IF NOT THEY  KEEP HAPPENING OVER AND OVER AGAIN UNTIL WE LEARN...SO LEARN AS MUCH AS YOU CAN AS SOON AS YOU CAN TO AVOID THAT FATE.
