i've taken to writing haikus about my job and the recent changes and b.s. that's going on around "these parts." they're actually helping me to deal with my "still being here."

Ritualistic

day in day out, it
never seems to change, how odd
that this is my life.

Confined

Cubicles were meant
to hold the insane. I’m not
crazy folks, not yet.

Fueled fire

it’s New Year’s Eve, and
where am I? At work, of course,
slaving for the man.

Indifference

Trapped, corporate world slaves
on a new plantation, this
almost makes me cry.

It’s nearly lunchtime,
most of the day is gone, and
I can’t wait to leave.

Suspicion

Curious are the
trees swaying leafless to and

my job is secure, because

With diverse caps for my dome

Why those heavenly bodies
Disrupt my orbit

this reminds me of when,

Sun makes a smile that spreads sky’s width

Sprinkling dangling colours and

Angling them aptly where

The world will notice and thank Him,

Leaves my brooding to meander

And go over the mountain

Where Sun took the whole day to arrive, only to hide...

But he’s alright, he’s not angry, merely

Dancing with Sky, romancing her to night,

placing on her breast diamond moods that rightly alter sight...



I "saw" this after i came 4rm wrk though,
no matter how much they glorify it as a struggle
this "grind" just aint worth it....

pictures like this in my mind keep me focused on what's true...
i like that...

*Thank u*

To my sense I dedicate your scrutiny...

affair

sought out someone else,
because i've grown tired of
struggling with you.

set me free

this life, keeps me chained.
i want so badly to leave,
you won't let me go.

**Hope**
God, I hope to be
A vessel for your glory
Even when I sin

**Imperfection**
I do fall often
Though my flesh, dense with leaven
Allows me to rise

**Hope (part 2)**
Maybe, after all
The blind night will free the sky
Now my heart sees dawn

**Faith**
Faith is breathing air
Unseen, and yet known as fact
So take a deep breath

a new kind of down...

Haikus are jewels if written with exceptional thought and youve showed that.

no respect sit down
vapors cause armpit stains dirt
thrown sustain crown jam

don't look find wisdom
elephant trunks jungle load
unload baby head

first delivery- use skills to see the seen
and become empty to draw lines around phantom atoms!

TE-TE
The End - To Everybody

If my memory serves me correctly, your writing has "always" been therapeutic -- to the reader -- as well as for yourself --

From what I can see, you've mastered the art of haikus with wit, wisdom & humor -- and I appreciate that!


*Carry On*


P.S. Hopefully things will get better @ work ...

behind wilt flowers
sunlight shows shadows 2
dark 2 see stand up

haven't seen you around but every now and then i catch
a glimpse of natures best assets

pull down the curtains next time if you don't want 2 be
caught

miss you
well halfway true
i miss what you do for the boards
it's like a 100 year old birthday
for a man who can't blow

hope to bump into you later
over and out!
peace one love

Te-Te

oh yeah did you catch my videos
on myspace before i deleted them
if not pinch your tits and wake the fuck up

You're a sweetheart freedom -- -- But no, I didn't see your deleted myspace videos ...

volcano's preparing leaps
bond cutting down tree

cure 2 jealousy
going against nature rape
we it's just me free

employee at will
iron mine why can't i find
a temple 2 rest

2 bless 2 go 2
church my own ambitions comes
first unhog tie thirst

brick and mortar stores

bottom of bag rush

who let the devil in hell
