Freedom in Poetry

Be free When I was young, poetry was some weird thing that made no sense. Something we were forced to read, and equally forced to explain and embrace. The English teacher telling me to obey the rules and follow the forms or it was wrong. Poetry was rhyme and contrived to create something that suckedContinue reading “Freedom in Poetry”

Happy Place

Are you trying to escape? I was asleep, and in my happy place. I’m not sure where that is, but it is a place where I finally relax. It is a place where everything is ok. Where there are no problems. I was there, and I was happy; until suddenly I was pounced on. IContinue reading “Happy Place”

There is an Entity

Does it ever feel like you have an enemy? There is an Entity,that fights to keep me back. Everything I seek to do,gets put on hold, with no control. Over and over I try; and again the effort dies.

Does Your Life Suck?

First, stop cursing yourself. Say good things about yourself, and your life. Speak goodness into your life, and into your mind. I know things are hard. I’ve had hard times too. But, things will not change until you change them. The hard times are designed to get you to seek God, and start you moving.Continue reading “Does Your Life Suck?”

House of Giants

Through houses of Giants,we crawl on our knees. We slave for our feed,and all of our need. They have framed our life,till the day we die Through their house, we fly,work, and drive. Their bones corrupt us,surround us, and stink. Every word is no.Every sign is stop.Everything is wait.I’m gonna escape. I will find aContinue reading “House of Giants”

Just Go

Just go! Get away from this place that makes you sick and maybe you’ll find yourself. Travel to where you want to go, it’s there waiting for you. Your life is but a vapor and drifts away, while you slave for another. Just go! Seek God, Seek Spirit, Seek the touch of the Divine, andContinue reading “Just Go”
