believe nothing

don’t dare question

what’s accepted

and walk out of line

it won’t do you any good

and everyone will think

you are being negative

or crazy or some other shit

they make up to make

themselves feel better

but if you think for yourself

how can you accept

all that is accepted

question everything

and believe nothing…

no more wrong direction

today I sat on a stone

slab near a waterfall

watching the leaves fall

like snow catching

all off guard wishing

words to do the same

scattered but persistent

words stack up

like balanced rocks

proving they can withstand

the elements the mind

never seems to shut down

confidence builds every day

wrong direction no more…

just begun again

spent the day outside

warm for the fall

as leaves slowly

float as the warm breeze

takes them from up high

soft landing next to me

and all around

like a child chasing and watching

one as it comes down

mesmerized all over again

inspire writer’s first sunrise

through trees instead of over

water sparkles through trees a little

later how many thoughts

will be enough of has it only

just begun again…

stacks of rocks

in the backyard again

man made stone walls

and stacks of rocks

and I know the man

who carried or rolled

each stone put into place

everything fits perfectly imperfect

leaves falling at and on my feet

and into this book

where thoughts take the form of words

all I know piles of words

everyday ones to describe

or legitimize this much thought

wishing to paint but it would probably

come out as words

might be the quickest way

for thoughts to inspire

colors changing daily now on trees

above the clouds move quick

below the blue in the race

to wherever they are going…

under this stone

someone probably said it better

than this but still I

give it all I have pushing out thoughts

whether they are relevant or not

whether they even get read or not

that it matters to me might even be

secondary first of all get it on the page

detached from any rage

once felt now sun shining

down bright and new

warmth felt as if for the first time

hand goes numb from writing

for the first time since being back

home where I learned nearly everything

done here at one time or another

closer to the family proud enough

to bring me back always there

to help me find the track

to the greatness random and obscure

might still be unknown

climb high on the pedestal

kept under this stone…

find the realness

got to use what I can

where I am where I have been

so many years ago and here I am

back again and I know I left

try to find the realness

ever since I was twenty-two

years old it’s when I went

out on my own

never really been on my own

and everything I have with me

is really all I own

got to bring something new to the table

don’t believe most things people tell me

media hype etc. my mind is logic

enabled and hard wired to doubt

most of what is heard

barely trust the written word

unless hand written

on thoughts that might be forbidden…

flip it over

flip the book over

and skip a page

new spot

old spot all in one

somewhere to call home

spot family close

small community

one goal live free

somehow navigate

the matrix progression

through unlearning too

un-conditioning… 

change the cause

change where you are at or maybe what you do

the way you look at life and act daily

cause your own success shoot for yourself and score

not waiting for that permission to move

the rock in front of the path you choose

effect is the outcome be the success you

thought you could be and know you are, what

is holding you back be—

cause someone told you it might be too

physical or difficult to be the

reality you want to see

is it hard to visualize true wealth

effect is putting yourself in the picture… 

to the sky

look to the sky

up, up and away

back to childhood

thoughts for the moment

silence for all the time

now lost through the air

like wind in the face

time to rest

coming back and resting easy

and still each night

look to the sky…

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…
