    ~Homeless in homelands~For Poets of Blood!

    ~Homeless in homelands~

    What of the homeless man?

    Will he ever be offered a hand?

    Today so many seem to suffer,

    As I add myself to the list,

    Of forgotten wonders.

    The days seem like they,

    Never will pass,

    As only water sits now,

    In my almost empty glass.

    Work is a thought of long lost days,

    I need to find some to,

    lift this unbearable haze.

    Its hard to find your way,

    One nothing new always,

    Gets in the way.

    Time to start a new flow,

    As I try to climb from this deep hole.

    I am sick and tired of being down,

    And I don’t much feel like being a clown.

    The waters are no longer peaceful and calm,

    As I feel myself start to ride the rapids down.

    I use to cherish every minute of my life,

    But now it all seems to be so strife.

    All I ask for is a chance,

    To find myself again in the dance!

    I remember reading from some comments that you were near homeless... and All of your poems of late are extremely dark, sad foreboding, showing the struggle that you are facing now... I understand this poem and your plight, because it is like the 1930s depression, history repeating again, Now... as so many families become homeless... the statistics are not often shared, but the last I heard, just a few months ago, the shelters in southern CA were full x 15. Even so, it is warmer than the cold of snow country, and to be homeless in soCA is not as awful as most of the planet... I remember the stories my family told to me of the days of the last depression, when families survived only because they had land with which to grow their food, and yet it was so sparce at times, that my mother told of a particularly difficult time of mush... nothing but corn growing and they would have mush for breakfast, corn on the cob for lunch and corn on the cob for dinner. She was a teenager at the time, and said that across "the way", the kids had dug a giant hole in the ground, like a small cave and the teenagers would go in there at night and have a bonfire and roast... oh here it comes... popcorn, and That was their big treat. How I am glad I did not experience that one; but I do remember the original Little Rascals movies had all the orphanage children eating mush 3 x a day...

    So now, we are in another depression, I am reminded of that movie, the Grapes of Wrath, when Oklahoma land dried up and the farmers could Not farm and lost it all to the banks and they all drove to California to pick grapes or other foods, and thus began another tale of working to pay the boss. On a bad day, the papers spoke of men jumping from buildings, and there were too many, and America became less sympathetic, because of fear they too would be homeless or hungry, and Fathers abandoned families, one after another, commonly, dishonorably and horrifically. It was an era of male shame that seemed to somehow redeem itself by Uniting and joining the World War II against the Jewish masacre, and after all the bloody dying, our men came home with pride and worth. But the slaughter, and unmentionable acts and from that stench, became the foundation of the tall buildings, New America built, as cement homes and lives upon trashy land fills... America sits upon an ant hill, and the little monsters are eating their way into our face. And amidst the Struggle, our planet is facing Now... I notice a teeter totter market, as if waiting for the next segment of the history channel to tell the public more about the ominous Mayan date of 2012, at the same time Venus has an 9,000 (or is it 18,000) year year stint across the front of the sun, while the planets in our solar system line up for a astral equation that occurs approx. every 500,000 years. Sounds so interesting to me... I am not leaving, I want to see this puppy. I wish you strength for kind survival..... and THIS poem of yours is Good and should be in the OP Book. !!! and the Cause is Very Worthy... Again, you are so deep and such a gold mine within the mountain....

    I am so sorry life is giving you icicles... I would trade with you, mine for yours, which is silly, because then you would be even more depressed. Sometimes, it is hard just to defy gravity and rise with the day. It will rain soon here and then the big quake will come... and it will not be boring.

    Poetry is when an emotion has found its thought and the thought has found words.

    Robert Frost (1875-1963) American Poet.
