School is school is school, or..wait? What! The test was today?!?!

Ah, education. We all appreciate the availability and affordability offered to our students. You have done many wonderful things in your time, but let’s face it. You need duct tape.

<Insert argument here>

History: Once upon a time, monarchs were bored, peasants got tired of being poor, large groups of people with sticks were poked by larger groups of people with bigger sticks, and every individual felt the need to interpret and carryout the will of God. Mark Twain said it best when he said “The world owes you nothing. It was here first”.

American Government/Political Science: We listen to Professor______ lecture on how helpful and important the government is, and the paranoid kid in back challenges everything the teacher says. (This is the same kid with the “911 was an inside job” bumper sticker) 

College Algebra: Two students get it. Everyone else misses it.

Philosophy: Or is it?

English: Did I spell that right?

Psychology: WFT, Freud. WTF.

Unequal Solo

Over, there, is, there, beauty
Shine, sun, is, she, know, I
Light, a, I,her,in, see
With, essence, she, perfect, shines

Spell, I’ve, under her, fallen
My hand, she’ll, take, pray, I
Existence, my, very, she, is
Her presence, without, I’ll die

Myself, to touch, can’t, bring, I
Fear, I, she, not, will, see
Belong, with, that, I, her
With, she, belongs, and me

Her soul, I wish, in all, finds joy
Pain, I know, feels, she
Power, if God, in me, possesses
Swear, I, happy, she’ll be.

Would, we, love, called, be
Live, I, bliss, would, we, know
And, free, perfect, we’d, be
One, two, made, halves, whole

Ship, is, sea, and, I am, she
She, is, I, arrow, as, bow
Dark, light, I, as, she, is
She’s Juliet, and I’m Romeo

Happiness

I am truly happy when I’m…

1. Breathing (and nothing else)
2. Watching Rain Fall
3. Walking through Grass Barefoot
4. Watching Sand Trickle through the Palms of My Hands
5. Drinking Coffee
6. Smelling the Scent of Old Books
7. Listening to Sleep by Eric Whitarce

Dream Keeper

Let that page come out of you?

Then, it will be true.

Me? Not so.

I sing and pray in poem, I never yet perform.

I write the text and breathe the passion, yet never voice mine born.

I? Not I. I tread angels’ wings and under beetle’s feet,

But walks like normal a man across Poe’s brittle beach.

I spit thirst at God and ponder thoughts of fools,

But seldom will I deliver script from my poor weary soul:



The waters of my dreary heart stir in expectation

Of things of past, things to come, and bodies in participation

Nobody in particular, I’m the newest breed of mortals.

I cower under peasants, and tower over royals.

I breathe, think, and meditate on silly aimless thoughts.

I care not of love, yet practice every instant.

I have endless wit; will never choose to use it.

My greatest sin, I never seize the moment.

I spend more time pondering the thoughts of you more than the thoughts of me.

I stare at walls, pray in dreams, and flirt with inner freedom.

A shield, I don’t see you, you don’t see me.
