"68% think we give too much in foreign aid, and 59% think it should be cut. You know why I love that stat? Because 9% think its too high & shouldn't be cut! 9% of respondents could not get their arms around the question. There should be another box you can check for: I have utterly no idea what you're talking about. Please God don't ask for my input"

Thanks for Playing

Ladies & Gentleman, Thanks for playing

It was fun while it lasted

But let's all be honest

This wasn't going anywhere

No one was going to win

No prizes were to be awarded

Zero was your chance of success

You put up a good fight

I've never seen someone work so hard

But at the end of the day

It doesn't make the least bit of difference

Because everyone's going home empty handed

Wuthering Heights

An Original Poem

Inspired by the novel Wuthering Heights by Emily Bronte

I have not forgotten someone that looked like you

Only the being they have replaced you with

You claim to love me with all your heart

But you look at me as a mistress does her servant

You're repuatation has become most important

It has destroyed you, corroded you from the inside

Taken what I loved most and shattered it

Made it something common and uneventful

How am I to compare to the eligible Edgar

Where am I to obtain his wealth

What can I provide that he cannot

Who you will choose is not a mystery

You say my passion is of hate not love

But what am I to love about this world

A dead father, a brutish brother, an unfaithful lover

I can curse the world but the only curse is on me

Prepare to Fight

An Original Poem

Up in the tallest tower she's kept

Isolated from me like a fish from land

I fight to see her knowing full well

She's a prize I will never possess

But I still fight to make my presence known

I spar with a fire breathing dragon named failure

He better not harm us

Unless he want to meet my one man army

Because even though I'm a sizeable underdog

I promise not to yield until

Every ounce of my blood has been spilled

Or all of my limbs have been dismembered

I will never surrender to him

Because giving up mid fight is a bigger loss

Not only will I lose her but myself as well

So I say to my opponents, Prepare to fight

A Brave New World

An Original Poem

The mission is a go
His objective is clear
Now he waits on the launchpad
Ready to take off
Into the brave new world
That lies before him

He anxiously plans
Thinking of every possibility
Deciding which will bring success
He's unsure what this new world
Will bring him
But he knows he must find out

This new world holds infinite possibilities
Beyond anything earth can offer
Its harvest's are bountiful
And its resources are abundant
But are they just hiding something darker
Something dangerous and threatening

Only he can find out
It is his actions alone
That will let the world know
If it is safe to stray
Beyond earths bounds
Into a world of infinity

The Golden Moments

The golden moments in our lives
Aren't the ones that take your breath away
You can't plan for them
Its impossible to mark them on your calender

The golden moments in our lives
Are the ones you spend with someone special
Talking about the same thing 30 times
But each second is more precious than the last

The golden moments in our lives
Are few and far between for some
So don't take any of them for granted
Because it very well could be your last

I Prepare The Poet

Poem inspired by the lyrics of Lupe Fiasco

Had a feeling that it would be a day like this
But I’m prepared for it
Brushed off my airs
Even cut my hair for it
Cause normally I don’t care for it
Don’t even bother looking for love
Then there go it
Yea right over there so I prepare the poet

Love, you gotta love it
Holding hands in public, I dig it
Everything you do and everything you doesn’t
Everything you done, well…
I hope I’m the one you does it to

I hope this trick goes wrong
And I’m cut in two
So I can feel what I’m feeling twice as much
Choose, to choose, I’d rather have you
Even if its half
And I’ll even hold for the whole if I have to because…
You’re my sunshine
You’re my moonlight
You’re the starry skies above me
Won’t you come down and hug me

I fell asleep beneath the flowers
For a couple of hours
On a beautiful day
I dream of you amid the flowers
For a couple of hours
Such a beautiful day

I whisper in her ear
“Its kind crowded in here”
“Would you care to move outsite”
She said “yea, I’ve been waiting for you”
“And I know you’ve been chasing me too”
“Since they kidnapped me from my castle”
I told her “Fire breathing dragon, he bet not harm me”
“Or he be sorry when he meets my one man army”
“You’re knight in shining armor”
On the way back she’s woken up by the horn of an SUV
I said “See, You’re too beautiful too let sleep”
Ohh but its only a daydream
I fell asleep beneath the flowers
For a couple of hours
On a beautiful day
Daydreamin’
I dream of you amid the flowers
For a couple of hours
Such a beautiful day…dream

Yeah my brain spin with velocity
Thinking about ways to get up
Wishing I could be the man
So I just stand wishing I could have her

Instead…
I'm just sitting wathcing the people in the boxes

Trying to absorb everything I see

I continue to watch the box

hoping it will give me something to unlock it with

I'm so scared to look away because

At that moment it might show me what to take off the locks with

So I chain myself to the box

Take a lock and then lock it and swallow the combination

But please, do this one thing for me
Outta the trillions of number in this world
Just leave me a few that lead to you because
You’re my sunshine
You’re my moonlight
You’re the starry skies above me
So won’t you please come down and hug me

Yeah, at time like this
I dunno what to do but rhyme like this
She probably doesn’t even know I exist
Can’t figure out why I can’t take this
Yeah, at time like this
I’m wishing I could be a little stronger than this
Too many worries and pre-requesities
Just to reach ya, just to be with ya
So far, still so far apart, all I want is just to talk…
