transaction of thought

not for entertainment purposes

but will certainly entertain

the possibility that those

opening and choosing to read

might force a thought or two

not hoping the reader is entertained

instead hoping the reader

is engaged in thought

not an entertainer just a thinker

writing it down for those

who choose to read and contemplate

complete the transaction of thought

entertainment tends to distract

these thoughts can be involved in the day

not distract a reader from the day at hand

this is dropping thoughts in the readers

way to pick them up and take them

with them

wherever they might go… 

sensing the change

sensing a change coming on

pushing through into another beginning

right where I began

all these journals

summer work to keep the mind sharp

pens and blank books for days

after school ended for the summer

to document the time away from learning

finally verbalized and unlearned

nearly a stranger by myself again

stranger than ever

hating the raging wars

still they begin new ones

merely twenty-four hours ago

sensing a change can’t wait for it to take over

giving my entire life a makeover… 

water meets sand

really just want
to write something
that might interest someone
showing when the mind
wanders someone might
want to read about it
always loved reading
random scribblings
of another's mind
proving mine isn't awkward
not even uncommon
just want to put down
something positive
get me through the day
then the night falls
at the feet of something
amazing and brand new
surely most thoughts
aren't even written
this doesn't stop me
of those thoughts written
some won't get read
merely skimmed over
like flat rocks on a peaceful pond
stand exactly where
water meets sand...

never knew

three hours late still puffin tough

most would have had enough

can’t explain why the thoughts won’t stop

and I will most likely keep walking

once I get to the top

might sit for a minute or even an hour

cool air rushes in through the window

with a quick shower

really fast moving straight through

finding a new thing every day that I never knew…

crazy thoughts from all directions

some of the thoughts might be specific but

times change in different situations

eye crossed tripping over feet still

feel the ground below standing knee deep in

crazy thoughts from all directions

but with a forward focus

not getting caught stuck behind

what is gone is gone and

you will be better without

might miss a conversation or two

think I might sink back into the mind

crazy thoughts from all directions

like change in everything I know

eye staring into future ideas

think I can push through

too much time spent pushing so

much thought…

absorbing knowledge daily

ready to make a move

can’t stop until eye see

home absorbing knowledge

daily putting down thought

because I think

and I don’t want it

to go to waste

won’t get caught up in the we

heard it on the news again tonight

WE are NOT and never have been

the decision of the STATE

aka the government

aka our (s)elected leaders

ready to make a move

for positive change absorbing

knowledge along the way…

their plans-war all the time

more time passes and what a mess more

than ever working to open eyes and minds

anything to reveal the truth behind it all or

else we are force to stand on lies

we don’t demand accountability we

need to realize our leaders never worked

to ensure our liberty safety and freedom

realize that both political sides support war & more destruction

neither side is working for peace

left or right war is still not the answer

or aggression at all being violent is not

right and every day they are improving their plans

will unfold as we still have to search for the truth

stop supporting the lying fools

the real enemy of humanity are the

wars that the leaders conduct to carry out their plans…

let freedom be

life can be a day full of questions who

is actually all knowing when it comes to

a history we all are a part of a strange

series of wars that seem to have no end shrug

of the shoulders as it has been going on too long

natural to be attacking foreign lands

and stealing resources for profit?

spontaneous revolts shot down

changes made but they all seem the same they

don’t benefit the people instead only the powerful

resist the belief in all the lies told by

them that create fear and control the narrative

that biggest lie might never be admitted

only more laws rules fee and fines

creates a control grid with conditioning

sorrow weighs heavy on the mind of many

let freedom instead live in the heart and mind

reality is still ours to create

be here now not tomorrow or yesterday

reality is ours!—create!

let freedom guide with art and many other

things that make up this collection of thought

flow without any pressure

naturally progressing and watching the main stream stasis

forward only up and beyond

in the heart and mind dwelling

whatever is done individually done louder

way back into the folds of the mind

they want to stop our flow

like the strongest river power through

          —let freedom be our strength…

still don't believe a word

don't believe a word of it
don't support war of aggression
of any kind
everyone has the right to defend
but creating an enemy
in order to have someone
to be at war with
that's just grimy
not just that
this time the boogie man
ushered in the unstoppable
war on terror
but wait war is terror
is it 1984?
who writes the scripts
for these news readers
double speak has permeated the media
should we have to sift
through the news to find a little truth
and stay informed
a responsible media would report
the truth instead
we have a media selling us more fear
more reasons to continue
multiple wars of aggression
we have a media garnering support
for a military industrial complex
killing in multiple wars of aggression
we have a media that does not report
the truth and still preaches obedience
to a broken system and they will say
it's not broken but I still
don't believe a word of it...

probably pushing it

less than five months

four books of thoughts

published for the public

to consume criticize or condemn

need more eyes to see

give it a chance

not what one might think

most of those close take the time to read

and support the thought cause

true freedom within these pages

constantly changing but

always starting as blank pages

books given or bought

filling them for some higher

purpose possibly pushing poetry’s

definition but it’s what is done

question everything and anything

some thoughts haven’t even formed yet…

4th eBook of the Summer... THINK FOR YOURSELF

Click Here to Go Get IT NOW!!

think for yourself

hands reaching to the sky as it

comes crashing down

time’s up who is ready

whatever is next is unknown

faith is still a creation of man

as strong as it can be

man can tell a story long enough

it becomes accepted truth

not everyone hears the sound

one hand clapping louder

as the afternoon darkens

under clouds gray with doubt

logic remains the ruler of the mind

unknown whether I ever possessed

the required strength in faith

to be considered religious

maybe spiritual nothing more than

a thinker for myself

not ruling anything out

self-knowing hands-on in the mind

still swirling with confusion at times

some of the vast expanses may go unvisited

if limitations placed in the way of freedom

over all obvious contradictions the steps

that lead to a higher power imagine

view from pearly gates

or the fiery pit that is feared

and fearful people are easier to control

instead stand on logic’s stairs

and look both ways

as you take your steps

and think for yourself…

can only write so fast

the idea is never going away

most likely with me until I can no longer hold the pen

dangerous thoughts mostly hidden before written

man can only write so fast

to a steady eye it might still be a blur

any detail could be missed so pay attention

government will take advantage of complacency

is freedom what is lived or what is being waited for

the rest of my time I will be free

man can only write so fast

who do I really think I am

is freedom who I am or what I am waiting for

able to be anywhere anytime

to be limited in movement is to

think that I can’t move but I can

things are easy when I know I am free

out of the control of others as much as possible

for more than merely a moment by

himself a man can only write so fast

almost the end of another day they stack up

inevitably alone for now not forever

he can see all positive on the road ahead what

comes next welcomed even if unknown

to the mind pushing pens until they are out of ink

the freedom to continuously think any

conclusion will not come today

that will be further down this road somehow

the freedom needs to be taken back from

government thieves putting hands in pockets

he can only move so fast simultaneous

lives living for that freedom

under watchful eyes freedom is under fire

is freedom who you are as well—don’t be

dishonest with yourself—it’s probably

insane to not want freedom

and know it is

intolerable to never let yourself be freedom…

give me some truth

I hope people can really see the destruction

know that humanity is being destroyed

not the terrorists, the innocent protecting their houses

what rights do they have their neighborhood is destroyed

course of action is always war with no words

others fight the wars for some to profit from it

may only be monetary or contractual but

take away the profit would war end tomorrow

but would they ever let war go to waste without profit

as Gaza lies in rubble and innocent lives lost

for the chosen race of god to reclaim land is it

me I don’t remember learning about a god that would

give land to one group and allow that group to murder ask

me what I would do for my family standing under the statue of

liberty frowning upon those who remain silent

or believe the propaganda shoveled our way

give me some truth is it only

me who thinks this is getting crazy as

death reigns down on Gaza…

new idea

a beautiful day even if no one notices

mind allowed to rest and explore

expanded by everything contacted through the day

by the end opinion hasn’t changed

a beautiful day even if no one notices

new ideas separate individuals from the collective an

idea adds to those of other individuals all

will enjoy true freedom

never give up on enjoying that beautiful day

go outside for a moment now

back on the ground looking up

to the sky as the clouds hurry on by

it’s another beautiful night

original thought stolen from the

dimension in which I dwell…

burning the hollows of the mind

a year now tearing at these pages

probably not enough

trying to notice more

keeping the head up

looking around for a change

not merely a staying positive

at a glance doing it

in the style of Bukowski

rapid fire thought

burning the hollows of the mind

capturing every picture taken

stored piled on top of thoughts

becoming the inspiration

for future direction

or just simply to be memories

life can get exhausting

notice it more when forcing

the rest to happen more often

not what anyone might expect

found the time clear the mind

and recognize the first thought

in that moment of freedom

understand daily the importance

of independent thought…

silver skies thin air

closed eyes surround sound

the air is thin outside

in the heat rising to the silver

sky now basically the normal

above the head scene

no one else notices

willful ignorance

too busy to notice

and forget the call

the one you’ve been waiting for

more pressing issues

at hand closed eyes

the secluded mind

listening to the news

that no one wants to hear

probably why

no one turns the page anymore

can’t write words for shut eyes

and most likely will not read them to you

nothing wrong with that

eyes open unless it involves a little thought

might have to unravel the mind

or just let it go

long enough to wonder why

or why not take a few moments

you know you have a few

and I guess I might be selfish

because I want a few of them too…

obstacles to crash

some days reaching down deep

never deep enough

the hole dug is too deep

escape through the floor

lie on the floor

melt into and through the floor

roll over outside inside

keep changing the spot always

hearing whispers but realize

finally those are the thoughts

when the pen rests

on the table or in a pocket

where I go when I rest

in a pocket of peace

can create nearly anywhere

somewhere want to be somewhere

so many places this mind

needs to see chained to a job

how strong stuck mentally

in mud pushing forward

never quite out of the mud

the mind makes obstacles to crash

through everyday all day

made it through another day

positive thoughts sharing them profusely

somewhere out there

someone will get it…

perfect for skipping rocks

a mission to turn

someone else onto

the thinking that

there is a better way

back when I was young

thoughts were simple

ideas stacked up

knock them down

learned a lot and unlearned more

since back then when everything

was simple like the day

and beautiful like the night

and who is writing it down

for people like me

want to think

and that’s exactly what I do

but what am I doing

poetry or random thoughts

no longer filled with anger or sadness

left it in the pages behind

forward progression

the positive struggle

to leave the world a little better

than when I found it

find it still every day and night

knowing most people aren’t thinking

for themselves or about hurting each other

but what do I know where do I go

grew up reading too much

listening to the original street music

as it was born big boom boxes

and even bigger headphones

heavy bass and even played drums for a bit

never dropped the pen though

unless to the page like the needle to a record

simple ideas to end the day

couple of cardinals in the tree

and a family of rabbits in the brush

hardly alone in this place near the still pond

no wind perfect for skipping rocks…
