(203)▪︎[ The Raft … 5/19/2025 ]

[ Have You Ever Felt That You Are In The Middle Of The “Sea of Humanity” Just Sitting In A Liferaft Without A Set Of Oars? ]
[ Running Away From The Land ]
[ Because There Is Nothing Left For You That Is Positive On Any Of The Oceans Shore’s ]

[ You Have Tried To Drive Away ]
[ But That Only Lasted For A Day ]
[ Because In Some Way ]

[ It Didn’t Feel Right ]
[ For You To Take Your Fight ]
[ Well Into The Night ]

[ When You Set Out On Your Raft ]
[ Those That You Felt Were Friends ]
[ Stood @ The Shore & Laughed ]

[ By The Time That You Started Looking For Your Oars, It Was Too Late ]
[ For You To Anticipate ]
[ The Waves ]
[ That Would Dictate ]
[ Your Fate ]

[ What To Do? ]
[ What To Do? ]
[ The Waves Are Starting To Look Green ]
[ Because The Sky No Longer Looked Blue ]

[ All You See Now Are Dark Clouds ]
[ It Reminds You Of Those Many Times ]
[ When You Felt Alone Being In Crowds ]

[ There Would Be Chattering All Around You ]
[ Making It Sound Like You Were Standing By A Chicken Coop ]
[ But This Is Nothing New ]
[ You Know This Type Of Group ]

[ They Are There To Demoralize ]
[ They Try To Emphasize ]
[ That They Never Empathize ]
[ As They Cut You Down To Size ]
[ & Dehumanize ]

[ The Main Problem? ]
[ That Is The Most Positive Side To Them ]

[ The Up & Down Motion Of The Waves ]
[ Are In Control Of Your Life ]
[ It Is How Mother Nature Shows How She Can Misbehave ]
[ & Not Be So Nice ]

[ When You Try To Look Towards The South ]
[ The Waves Throw Water Into Your Mouth ]

[ When You Try To Look To The North ]
[ You Sit Down Quickly ]
[ Because The Waves Keep Tossing Your Raft Back & Forth ]

[ You Have No Idea In Which Direction You Are Going ]
[ It Is Really Tough Not Knowing ]
[ Now The Wind Is Blowing ]

[ Coming In From The East ]
[ Not Letting You Rest ]
[ So Your Mind Is Not @ Peace ]

[ You Start Trying To Clear Your Mind ]
[ Oh, How You Wish That Someone Would Throw You A Life Line ]
[ But You Know That Won’t Happen ]
[ Because Humanity Is Not That Kind ]

(183)▪︎[ Getting By … 2025 ]

[ You Try Too Hard In A World Full Of People Who Don’t Try Enough ]
[ Very Few People Are Made Of The Right Stuff ]
[ That Makes Your Life Pretty Tough ]
[ & Your Day To Day Struggle Kind Of Rough ]

[ You Have Been Through Alot, During The Almost Sixty Two Years On This Earth ]
[ You Were Even Abused By The Mother Who Gave You Birth ]
[ Did That Forever Lock In Your Worth? ]
[ Making You Feel Not Better Than Dirt ]

[ You Have Separation Anxiety To The Highest Degree ]
[ That Is One Personality Trait That You Try Not To Let Other’s See ]
[ You Have Never Felt That You Are Completely Free ]
[ Most Of The Time You Are Relegated To Be Down On One Knee ]

[ Your Mind Constantly Recreates The Reasons That You Feel So Haunted ]
[ You Are Tired Of Thinking About The Reasons Why You Feel So Unwanted]

[ The Demons Are Once Again Trying To Poke Through Your Skin ]
[ Sometimes You Wonder Where The Ending Is ]
[ Where Was The Point Where They Started To Win ]
[ Some Of The Harshest, Most Hurtful Comments, Come From Your Kin ]

[ From your Own Kid To Be Exact ]
[ One Thing That You Know As Fact ]
[ That Son Of Yours Has Zero Tact ]

[ It Would’ve Been Much Easier To Bite A Bullet Years Ago ]
[ But Now You Are Dragged Through Hell ]
[ Really Slow ]
[ But Nobody Asks About It, So You Won’t Tell ]

[ It Has Never Been Clear ]
[ Which Way Is Up ]
[ Where Do You Go From Here ]

[ Your Back Hurts, But So Does Your Whole Body ]
[ If You Were Ever A Weather Forecast ]
[ You Would Be, “Mostly Cloudy” ]

[ Storm Clouds Coming Down From The North ]
[ The East – Winds Blowing All The Piles Of Leaves ]
[ Back & Forth ]

[ Causing The Person, With The Rake In Their Hands, To Almost Go Mad ]
[ When He See’s All The Damage ]
[ That’s When It Hits Him & He Feels Really Sad ]

[ If You Feel You Are On A Treadmill Going Nowhere Fast ]
[ All Of The Other Runner’s In The Human Race Running Past ]
[ Might Make You Feel Like You Are Coming In Last ]

[ You Trudge On Trying To Get To That Faraway Finish Line ]
[ You Don’t Know If That Is When You Turn (62) Years Old ]
[ Or Will That Be Around (79?) ]

[ You Don’t Look For The Easiest Route ]
[ Writing Takes Up Most Of Your Time ]
[ So You Don’t Sit Around & Pout ]

[ Pouting Or Asking For Sympathy Has Never Been Your Thing ]
[ You Don’t Do Karaoke Because You Cannot Sing ]
[ You Have A Queen In The House ]
[ But You Wish Throughout Your Marriage You Could Have Gifted Her More Bling ]

[ You Have Alot Of Regrets ]
[ That You’ve Always Wanted To Forget ]

(182)▪︎[ It’s Only A Penny … 2025 ]

[ Would You Offer Someone A Penny For Their Thoughts ]
[ Then Sell It Off For A Dollar? ]
[ Would It Then Bother You If They Became Hot ]
[ Under Their Collar? ]

[ Sometimes Someone’s Thoughts Go Up In Value ]
[ From What You Might Have Paid For It Prior ]
[ There Was No Kind Of Social Cue ]
[ That Said Selling These Thoughts Is Dire ]

[ Something Trendy Would Cost You So Much More ]
[ If You Tried To Pay For Any Clothes With It ]
[ You Would Be Asked To Leave As Quick As They Could Point @ The Door ]

[ Then Leave, En Haste ]
[ The Time That You Would Spend Trying To Figure Out Things ]
[ Would Surely Be A Waste ]

[ Sometimes There Could Be A Small Profit ]
[ Other Times You Might Lose A Little Bit ]

[ But How Can You Lose When You Only Spent A Penny ]
[ It Is Not Like You Could Have Spent On Anything That Would Be Trendy ]

[ A Penny For Some Good Thoughts Sounds Like A Solid Investment Any Time ]
[ Just Don’t Get Swindled ]
[ If Someone Told You That Their Thoughts Would Now Cost You A Dime ]

[ Do You Remember When ]
[ This Was That ]
[ & Now Is Then ]

[ It Is About That Time That We Let The Little One’s Leave The Nest ]
[ You Might Not Agree ]
[ But You Have To Know That Is For The Best ]

[ For The First (3) Months, We Can Help With Their Bills ]
[ Through The Winter Months ]
[ We Will Make Sure To Pay The Heating Bill So Chastity Does Not Get The Chills ]

[ The Main Thing That You Taught Them Was To Always Pay Their Mortgage Or Their Rent ]
[ With That Payment ]
[ They Will Know  That They Will Have A Better Roof Over Their Head, Than That Family Living In The Little (2) Person Tent ]

[ Our Friends Say That We Made (3) Good, Well Behaved & Educated Kids Now ]
[ Others Wanted To Know How? ]

[ We Knew That There Wasn’t A Secret That We Could Purchase From The Neighborhood Wizard ]
[ Like A Stew With (5) Slugs & (2) Small Lizards ]

[ A Couple Of Things That You Must Have Is Patience & The Abilty To Listen To The Craziest Situations That Your Kid Can Get In ]
[ Be Very Aware Of When You Tell Any Of Your Kids That They Committed A  Sin ]

[ You Cannot Make Someone Do Something That They Don’t Want To Do ]
[ Would You Like The Same Done To You? ]

[ @ (14), (15) Or (16) Start Treating Them More Like A Young Adult ]
[ Try To Know Who Is In Their Life ]
[ Be Aware Of Anything Resembling A Cult ]

[ A Cult Will Normally Try To Split The Family Into Fractions ]

[ End The Day ]
[ The Same Way, Too ]

(146)▪︎[ Ask For Permission Now, Or Wait? … 2025 ]

[ Would You Rather Ask For Forgiveness ]
[ Than Ask For Permission? ]
[ Would It Mean Any Less ]
[ If You Felt Like You Needed To Make A  Confession? ]

[ Does One Have To Do With The Other As Much? ]
[ Like Pointing To The South ]
[ @ Such & Such? ]

[ Is It Hard To Find True Solace In A World Full Of War? ]
[ With No Peace Insight ]
[ Like Men Building Up Their Self-Confidence With Liquid  Courage, So Their Machismo Can Soar ]
[ Then Going Outside Looking For A Fight ]

[ Men Have Been @ War With Each Other ]
[ Since Time Began ]
[ Brother Fighting Brother ]
[ Until One Of Them Ran ]
[ The Surviving Son Had To Answer The “Why?” Question From Their Mother ]
[ The Stronger One Proudly Stated “Because I Can!” ]

[ Now It Is The Dictator That Is Running The Show ]
[ He Want’s To Swallow Up A Nearby Country ]
[ Even Though ]
[ Their People Want The Dictator To See ]
[ That Their Answer Has Always Been “No!” ]

[ It Has Become Perfectly Clear ]
[ That Is Not The Answer That He Wanted To Hear ]
[ After Drinking Another Case Of Beer ]
[ He See’s That The Other Country Does Not Show Any Fear ]
[ So He Demands That Their President Gets Down On His Knees, Right Here ]

[ He Points Towards His Feet ]
[ Because He Wants Their President To Feel Beat ]
[ He Knows That Won’t Be A Simple Feat ]
[ But For The Dictator ]
[ That Sure Would Make For A Good Halloween Treat ]

[ He Can Say The Word “Treat” ]
[ But Not The Word “Treaty” ]
[ He Thinks That War Is Sweet ]
[ But He Does Not Call Anybody “Sweety” ]

[ Why Should He Care ]
[ How Bloody A War Is ]
[ He Doesn’t Have Any Family Member’s There ]
[ That Were Not Already On His “To Do” Hit List ]

[ Is Finding “True Solace” What Every Man Sets Out To Seek? ]
[ While Women Seek To Find “The Fountain Of Life?” ]
[ If Men Could Only Take A Peek ]
[ Which Woman They Will Have In The Annual Country Fair’s “Kissing Booth?” ]

[ True Solace Means Different Things To   Everybody ]
[ Some Want To Raise A Loving Family ]
[ While Most Just Want To Live With Somebody ]

[ Somebody Who Gives A Rip About Which Direction His Life Will Go ]
[ Who Wants To Make A Family With Him ]
[ & Watch The Children Grow ]

[ You Don’t Know If She Can Do Any Tricks ]
[ But She Seems To Be So Much Better Than Getting A Frog ]

[ You Want To Say That “ROXIE” Would Be A Good Name ]
[ You Feel The One That She Came With Was Pretty Lame ]
【 One thing about Roxie, Is That She Is So Tame ]


[ You Want To Thank Your Beautiful Wife, For Finding Her On-Line ]
[ When She Told You About Her, You Thought, “YES, THAT WOULD BE FINE” ]

[ She Will Be A Delight & More ]
[ You Think It’s Funny When You Hear Her Sleep ]

[ You Find A Word To Hang On To ]
[ Then Rhymes Start Coming To You ]

[ Southbound, Northbound, Coming From The East ]
[ To The West ]
[ There Is No Direction That You Like The Least ]
[ There’s No Direction That You Like The Best ]

[ Those Are The Times Where You Lean On Friends That Are Near & Far ]
[ Even On The One That You Won’t Ever See By Driving A Car ]

[ I Imagine That Sometimes Those Pretty Eyes Can Seem Like They Look Through Someone ]
[ The Kind Of Look Where They Think That You Are Telling That Person They Are About To Be Number One ]

[ On Your Short Shit List ]
[ They Are The Ones That You Really Want To Give The Finger To ]
[ But Instead, You’re Telling Them To Fuck Off By Blowing Them A Kiss ]
[ Because You Don’t Want To Be Rude While You’re In The Public View ]

[ Oh P.E., If You Only Knew The Sunshine That You Bring To All Of Those Around ]
[ You Have Such Pretty Eyes ]
[ That Some Men Can Only Take Looking @ Them For So Long Before They Have To Look @ The Ground ]

[ A Smart Man Would Treat You Like The Queen That You Are ]
[ I’m Not Saying Go Out & Buy You A Car ]
[ I’m Saying That His Love Will Be So Obvious, That People Will Know & See It From Near & Far ]

[ It Is Not About The Gifts That You Will Get ]
[ That Will Show That Mike Will Treat You Like A Queen ]
[ He Will Have To Have A Particular Mindset ]
[ That He Will Either Treat You As One, Because There’s Nowhere In-Between ]

[ Either Mike Doesn’t Know Or He Does ]
[ That You Don’t Give Flowers To Your Significant Other Only After An Argument ]
[ You Buy Gifts & Send Flowers Just Because ]
[ & You Never, Ever Tell Her How Much Money You Spent ]

[ In The True Give & Take Relationship, Nobody Is The Number One Boss ]
[ When There Is A Shift In The Power ]
[ The Powerless Feels Nothing But Loss ]
[ Minute By Minute, Hour By Hour ]
