- everything’s fine
everything’s calm
why then do i search for wrongs?
issue present-
i have something to do
issue absent-
boredom protrudes
there’s got to be something
i forgot to do
where’s the flaw?
misfortunes past due
what if nothing’s wrong,
and everything’s fine?
what if something’s wrong,
and i keep peace of mind?
- crowds of people
here and there
different backgrounds
breathing one air
air is one thing
all people share
not levels of opportunity,
oppression, and care
it seems so easy
for some to forget-
that starting points vary,
because rich still get rich
maybe one day
we’ll share the belief-
barriers must break
for justice and equity

self:
you’re picking up others’ energy
what’s mine is mine
what’s the’s is the’s
i am one,
and i am free
- do you ever feel
you’re watching a movie reel?
none of this exists
characters and costume frills
a thick, glass wall
dividing you
from what’s observed
versus actually true
disassociation
some may say
you watch the others
fight and play
the feelings common
it will pass
until then
thank the glass

hive think
i’m on the brink
of pouring myself another drink
just bees
no certainty
of what’s believed individually
step back
rewind your tracks
to the place
before the hive attacked
pull them out
the stingers they fall keep pulling and pulling no stingers at all
- the voices come
in my head
are they from soul
or just inbred?
inbred, deep-rooted
woven in thread
are the valid? i think not
just probably misread
they’re loud when i’m slow
slow to do, that’s all i know
they come all at once
it’s overwhelming, i’m a dunce…
…i’m a dunce, i’m a failure
opportunities i will miss
i better lay down
give my soul a kiss
- i wish i didn’t know
the things that i know
live in a false reality
guarded from actuality
it sounds quite nice to be blind to the ugly
to see only the beautiful, the positive, the lovely
knowledge is key
i’ve heard them say
but sometimes i wish
my knowledge would fade
