Unnoticed

For many years I cried
I screamed my lungs dry
no one seemed to care
all because they seemed to think
unnoticed are my dreams

I tried to look into a mirror
but what I saw was cracked
it was like my soul was hurt
hurt by words spoken and unspoken

When will I ever be noticed for who I am?
how is it that when I want something
it was taken from me
am I the only one that bleeds?

Happiness is a new wireless mouse

I bought from Staples earlier today
November 18th, 2024
cuz the the older one malfunctioned.

Said older generation mouse sported
a rather extensive "mouse cable,"
one end of which ended
in a standard connector
namely a USB (Universal Serial Bus),
which plugged into the Macbook Pro computer.

Though the aforenamed laptop
equipped with a small square panel
containing different touch-sensitive areas
linkedin with cursor movement.

Morgan le 'Fey (Gorlois and Igraine's Daughter) an epic narritive poem

She had the second sight, this daughter of Gorlois and Igraine, Duke and Duchess of Cornwall. It awoke, coming upon her early in her young life, as witnessed by Margause, her visiting kin.

Her breath ran shallow and hot, with glazed over eyes seeing far and deep into the veiled future, Morgan le Fey saw with clear vision, the sexual union by trickery of her mother and Uther's sin.

The Other Side of Silence

The universe has its noises
planets and stars has their voices
but I thought about the other side of silence
where no one can cry or speak

Our lives were formed by noises and speech
when you could try and understand celestial havoc
where nothing could stop making noises
stars could only raise their voices

Listen to the voices of the planets
try to find the noises of the stars
between Jupiter and Mars
you'll find the other side of silence

In times of War!

Israelis and Plalestinians
invest in intrusions.
Firing their missiles,
with rockets red glow.
Indigent people
run quickly for cover.
Filling the land of
blood ridden Gaza,
down to the waters edge
the incident grows.
Hiding in fields,
they flee with their loved ones!
No one is certain,
which way things will go.
On with the bombings
the recurring pestulance
reaches a climax
from which we all know.
Will only convince them
to continue the slaughter.
No one is willing to

drought reigns supreme across much of the United States...,

where sorely needed precipitation
necessitates affected population
to perform a collective rain dance
(decked out in electronically smart frippery)
24/7 and 7/52 weeks a year
defies even the most adept meteorologists
(equipped with special magical powers)
to deliver nothing short of a biblical deluge
makes them (the weather forecasters)
appear as motley fools,
when mother nature

Wintering

I walk among the
rustling leaves,
brittle, though some supple and soft
like the final sigh before
falling asleep.

They nestle on this
cooling earth,
placidly rolling in the
autumn breeze,
as if dreaming of clouds
tumbling east to west.

While I visit these woods,
I hear the voice of a
distant snowfall
singing to the valleys
and riverbeds,
soon pausing by my side,
hushing the leaves, the breeze
in a warm blanket of winter white.

Here, I repose my soul.

A Graveyard Playground

I’m choking up on the blurred images on my screen
which I know are only a snapshot of the evil behind the scenes
police brutality- billions on war machines
scandal- a dime a dozen under US marines
There’s little boys and girls growing up in a warzone
lives violated as if not their own
They’re not knowing another way
dodging land mines- just a game they play
so they make the best of a graveyard, playground
not forgetting the sound of another bomb drop
marking the promised land’s pit stop

Poetic letter Putin the electric kool aid acid test results into action...

when president elect Donald John Trump
sworn in vowing to accept the following pledge.
"I do solemnly swear (or affirm)
that I will faithfully
execute the Office of President
of the United States,
and will to the best of my ability,
preserve, protect and defend
the Constitution of the United States,"
whose surprise come from behind
winning as commander in chief
ten days after Tuesday, November 5, 2024
doth stymie and stump
the writer of these words,
who would much prefer leader
