When I Die

When I breath
my last
if anyone
cares,
when they
carry
my casket
from the
church
door 
stairs
I want
everyone
to dance 
in their
underwear
and howl
because
they 
are
still 
alive
and 
have
a story
to tell, 
I want
to 
be 
known 
as a
man
who
strived
to love 
his life
and be
the man 
who 
found
much
more
ways
to use 
up lemons
than anyone
else
and 
the
tie dyed
Kool -Aid
man,
who
shook
his butt
all up and
down and
all around
Guadalupe
street,
and had
his glorious
tenure
in his
shirt
of many
colors,
as the 
last mayor
of the 
drag,
a man
with 
a zillion
holidays
inside of
his 
head,
the 
man who
loved to 
see stiff
stuffy
people
split
apart
in 
laughter
running
to the
John
before
they
soak
their 
pants 
and
most
of all
the
king
of 
fun
and a
point of 
light
that
would 
make
old
Reagan 
laugh
in 
his 
grave






The Forlorn Years

There were days when 
I wished that an asteroid 
would hit the earth
and that I would never
wake up
to see another morning
and my depression
stuck my face
to a grey wall
of despair
awaking day
after day
in the prison 
cell of
my oh so
hopeless
mind
walking 
in circles
my life was
so bad I thought
I could do
eternity in
hell
standing on
my head
and every day
each minute rode 
on the back
of a snail
and only
millions of prayers
helped me


escape

On Being Right

You pay the price
when you're 
always right,
no mind
is a library,
new things
are discovered
before the
sun comes
up,
yet some people
come off as 
if they know
everything 
about
the world,
when really
they couldn't find
their rectum
with
two hands
and  a  
flashlight
stop caring
about being
right
and focus
on what binds
us and brings
joy and peace
to the world,
there are two
ways conquer
the world,
one is
followed
by a
trail of
dead
relations
and 
the 
other
keeps
the world
sane,
for every
know it
all 
is a father
of new


chaos


Come On Lets Stop

Where are
we going,
down this
Potholed
road
with more
blood
and 
Bloody corpses
and enough
Vitriol
to fill
giant
blimps
day after
day,
it fills
my ears
and eyes
like 
Pepper
spray,
you can't 
catch fish
with a
shotgun
nor crawfish
with 
spear,
you don't 
win
hearts
and minds
and
souls
with 
the 
use 
of fear,
you only
make people 
afraid
and 
then
when their
terror
stuffed
stomach
can't take
no more
they will
flee,
or rise up
like a 
bloody
sea
against you
in revolt,
Oh arise with
love
and the 
banner
of peace
and bring out
the beautiful
cake
of 
celebration
and then,
why don't we
spend 800
billion on
ice cream,
ENOUGH!!
come on
let's stop









Redeemed

I am not worthy
of another day
or all the things 
that I thirst for,
I was a lump
of dung
and you 
have turned
me into a
an inferno
of
mighty
unction
and a
geyser
of zeal
and you
have restored 
all my bridges 
burnt and
Broken 
and give 
me a smile
on the days
when I feel
like a
faucet 
of
tears
and you
are the
cornucopia 
of my 
soul,
the captain
of my ship
of destiny 
and 
fate
and set
me free from
that wretched
tyrant 
called 
calamity
and those
cold hard
chains 
of misery 
and 
guilt
and
opened the
old rusty
Iron 
gate
to
world 
of joy
and
Liberty 





The Great Conundrum

If there is
no heaven
we might as 
well be
dry
dead
skeletons,
only bones
and 
sand
withered
skulls
leering
out on
the white
sand desert
of time,
if their
is no 
God,
all we are
is skin and bones
sailboarding 
on
vanity's
vast 
river
and all
the vain
dreams 
that we
have,
if there is no
purpose
then everything
we
do
is 
a waste
of
time
as animals
eat other
animals, and 
some eat plants,
and plants eat
animals,
long, long 
after 
they're 
dead,
that seems
like purpose,
and if you
think that
the theory
of purpose
does not
exist
why do we
have graves
and
monuments
and tombs?
maybe we 
should
throw
our
dead to
the animals,
without
God,
everything
is 
total
enigma









A Word Of Hope

Yesterday is dead
today is a gift
so close that
door
to the day
before
and chase
your dreams,
your story
has a brand
new page
not one
single day
is the same
if you dare
to look hard 
enough,
your destiny
is not 
cast
in
stone,
each day is
a blessing
and a mystery
and every
tomorrow 
is a
cheerleader
for hope,
you do not
know what it
has in it's 
suitcase
to give 
you
take a
moment
to smile
because you
are strong,
strong
enough to
make it 
this far,
God and the
universe
Applauds
You
and I 
do too.
