Poetical Politician
Dedicated To:
Mike Capizzani
Thanks for giving me the
skills to make this
possible.

certain fashion, for poetry is not for
cash as many arts have become. No,
poetry is for you, not a soul more
other than those who can feel your
words. If only the leaders and
politicians of today used such logic.
If only we had a poetical politician.

A Ship Sails in the Distance

Why the captain looks only straight,
It's quite unknown to me.
But he is always looking,
For something other than sea

Diamond and Silver and Star
Oh, my diamond,
Brilliance from outside- in.
Worth so much to me,
I wish it was you I could win.

Introspective
A smile on my face,
Something I typically wear.
No matter the conditions or place,
Whether in frustration or prayer.
17
A positive day I will display,
So that I dont have to explain to them.
Inside is not penetrated by one light ray,
Intramural, it is far beyond dim.

Me vs. Myself
Do I follow my brain,
Or follow my peers?
Perhaps there will not be pain,
Or maybe there will be tears.
21
I know the pros and cons,
And my head from my ass.
But when I look across the lawns,
How will mow the grass?

I do have a fear,
Its one that surrounds the world.
Theyre here and there.
No matter what degree you twirl.

Along With the Dinosaurs

I know it's terrible to think,
That something so significant and distinct,
That what once held the world together,
That love, is now extinct.

The Shadows Have a Conscience
40
These are very introspective things,
And theyre always listening to thee,
The shadows are waiting for your opinion,
And through their conscience, you will see.
41
Mutual
And it is love,
It is mutual among us all.
Perhaps we take it all the way,
Or maybe we come short and fall.
42
Like a tree, light dependent
How do I smile?
How do I laugh with glee?
How does happiness show,
When darkness engulfs me?
So consider me a tree,
I must have light to grow.
But I dont produce the light I need,
So when in the dark, nowhere is where Ill go.

Rebellion of the Generation
46
We battle discrimination and hate,
Using the opposite to hopefully win.
Were trying to defeat evil,
Were trying to destroy sin.

The One Who Owes
For the moment the one who owes steps on the site,
The setting will become a fight.
The past debts are of concern versus the moment,
No wonder why the one who owes chooses flight.
Then there are those who help the one who owes hide,
And automatically the hiders are on the bad side.
And the bads will be bad for life,
Even far after they have died.
49
So I ask, what will money buy?
It seems to just spend to me, so Ill sigh.
Theyll just never truly comprehend,
But maybe they will, when the one who owes dies.

24 lines of lies
The sky,
So clear.
Oh, the grass,
So green.
Ah, the trees and bushes,
So sturdy and vivid.
The fish,
So clean.
Oh, the bodies of water,
So fresh.
Ah, the plains and deserts,
So fine and flat.

Unconcluded, the Snake
57
The snake was now a stiff coil,
And from there it never moved itself again.
So I picked it up and carried it,
And to the pile of leaves I ran.

The Poetical Politician
60
Let's bring out or mutual love,
And stop comparing to the incomparable life,
And stop the spread of financial corruption,
And stop people from falling off the wings of doves.
Oh, this purpose, this speech, this poem!
Signed,
The poetical Politician.
