    Is everywhere … A brain fried like an egg 

    Why put your love ones like you dead? 

    As you been cracked like an opened egg

    When I was growing up …

    I rarely watched much TV … and 

    If I did… It was Casper the Friendly Ghost

    Felix the Cat, Superman, Batman, Sesame Street and Mr.Rogers …

    As he opened the doors 

    Sesame Street and … 

    Mr.Roger’s as he opened doors 

    To peace, love with a train 

    I loved those shows, The Gorilla Magellan TV Show’s! Life was designed for one to learn 

    To be at peace with your soul as life’s goes 

    To be challenged by curiosity and kindness 

    To be nice … Eat rice even everyday 

    As you don’t complaint … If your mom in pain 

    Yea, if you in pain, your mom … 

    Would say “You eat this bread and you’ll be ok!”

    There was more to learn to respect your fellow 

    Man, the law, the elderly, your teachers, your Parents, to be corrected by your neighbors too

    To aim to be the very best … to excel in school

    What has happened today …

    As the sunken brain no longer works? 

    Is it too much meds? 

    The drumming in our heads! 

    As telling us to go astray …

    To get self inflicted and get killed by a stingray 

    We shouldn’t take a tray to opioids 

    Like oxycodone (OxyContin), hydrocodone

    (Vicodin), morphine, caffeine, etc. 

    Why do we have to take such meds for pains? 

    What will it take to decrease death by …

    Extreme chemicals to our brain, as ok? 

    It is never ok to OD!

    To run away from your problems …

    Like a cheetah where, they can run away

    Up to 60 miles over 3 seconds …

    Imagine that animal running NYC marathon!

    He’ll win every time …

    Leaving all runner’s behind 

    Catch him if you can …

    You can’t because he’ll cheat all he can 

    Next time you want to cheat 

    By staying in a sofa 

    As your brain rats, rats …

    Like a dead cat …

    Catch your brain preserved onto neuron cells 

    To live not make it weak …

    Instead get out of that sofa 

    Do not let yourself be poison 

    Be that, that seeks knowledge instead 

    That’s of smartness … Not full of pain 

    I guess because losing …

    Your precious mind … is never fine 

    Is never fine! Print your neurons 

    As your head cells will multiple of love 

    I had to pause …

    Ride your brain to fight into … until you not in hell 

    Life goes too quickly … 

    Stay young as much as you can 

    Life goes too quiet …

    Be quite with your demand 

    Share it with none …

    To keep the secrets on to live 

    Not throw it away like dirt 

    Be careful who you stay …

    If you stay with a dog that leaps

    You’ll be leaping like a dog within a year

    Who always sleep …

    Put your faith on God 

    Not a poison that will crack your brain 

    As you go to sleep 

    Do not take drugs 

    That will crack you as you sleep 

    Do not take oxycodone …

    It is a diseased drug …

    That kills you as you sleep

    Think deep as the deepest sea

    Where you can’t sleep nor swim 

    It is deadly to reach for that pill 

    Too much of it … Will crack your nerve cells 

    To an infinity pieces earlier 

    I know they told me …

    My advice seek at a piece of peace 

    Grab your precious mind to relax 

    With a pain drug …

    You thought was your friend 

    It is not …

    It’s an enemy 

    That you want, yea that wants you dead 

    It is an ugly unfriend …

    Think of life, think of love 

    Never hate …

    Drug is a cemetery 

    In all its extraordinary ways 

    Bend your knees and head 

    Because it hurts … Every time you take this pill 

    Is notorious! Know, if you are dead 

    You can’t go on! 

    Think of all the pains…

    You placed on your families 

    Before it’s too late …

    Take a message for your head 

    Be nice instead of a jerk 

    Eat the best chicken jerk 

    It is not a joke to live like a cloud in darkness 

    Where you become like a junky …

    As you forget your keys …

    You left it opened to the environment 

    Love yourself to death …

    Your mom and father too 

    Be extra obedient to your parents 

    Who brought you to this Earth 

    Place all your faith to God 

    … yea, place all your faith in God 

    … To pull you away from death

    Leave Santen, yea leave San’t en! No, Satan 

    Onto Santa, this way he’ll come

    To your chimney in X-Mas and in the day 

    He’ll put death onto his bag … 

    He’ll take his rags to the cemetery 

    To never be seen again …

    Go home to your love ones 

    Know, they love you to death 

    Do not set yourself astray 

    Like a sting-ray …

    Then you’re taken for an x-ray 

    This time to be measured …

    The size of your sunken brain 

    Then comes an MRI …

    From the blows of this drug 

    In a coma you lie … because of the drug that lies 

    Has put you and your loved one’s …

    In a state of a drug …

    Take the rug and that bug out of your head 

    How? Pray to God 

    To relieve you from pains …

    Instead grab on to Him, be safe 

    Instead of the devil … 

    You not Evil Knievel 

    Who can jump …

    Like an evil …

    Catch your breath 

    Listen to God in it 

    Look at …

    The morning sunrise 

    Rise high to seek God 

    Instead … 

    Write your feelings with your heart 

    Red blood …

    In your mind think you will be fine 

    If you can’t reach your God …

    Instead take the ink 

    …. of a squid 

    Think hard and sweet 

    You’ll be sweet to love 

    Your mom and dad 

    No longer in pain …

    Neither are you, since you left insanity

    To the deepest sea that’s weak

    See the sun come in … 

    Watch the birth …

    Give birth …

    To light us …

    Be light of the day

    Not the night moon 

    That put …

    You to sleep … Amen

    Reminiscing on Sept 11 Tragedy?
    On Sept 11, 2026
    On this Friday – the 25th anniversary
    Hard to dismiss as we promised never to forget

    America has kept its promise
    As the twin towers collapsed
    Bringing them down …
    The first tower falling

    The World Trade Center (WTC)
    The financial center of the world
    Went down and collapsed by monsters
    With their hearts black

    It was the South Tower going down at 9:59 AM
    Followed by the North Tower at 10:28 AM
    The WTC7, came down at 5:20PM
    One of time’s saddest of days …

    Until this day …
    When we think of the WTC
    The loss of lives …
    The heroic souls giving their life

    As we all cried …
    For the unbelievable cries-hurts
    As aligned. – joined with endless pain
    We were glued to our tv screens

    As we screamed in disbelief
    How did those traitors
    Become smarter than us?
    By tricking us as we slept!

    Not even the CIA, FBI and the smartet of men
    caught or glimpsed
    Of ever people …
    All insane …

    Today as we look back …
    We all know the date of JFK’s death
    His Life came to his end …
    Am sure, was one of the darkest of days

    I am sure …
    Was hard to wake up
    As his brain half gone
    His wife, Jackie cried

    With her pink suit
    All stained …
    She held her children tight
    As she stated “They are killing all the Kennedy’s!”

    How fears intense …
    I know this is in the past
    It’s tragedy like this
    We get numb all over again

    Sept 11, 2001 …
    A day never to forget
    There will always be tribute
    To keep their lives name alive

    Patients died that day …
    We promised never to forget
    What did I do to commemorate their names?
    I recalled working at Beth Israel Medical CTR
    … I became numbed

    Watching people looking motionless
    Walking on First Avenue, New York
    Looking more like zombies …
    With aches and their cloths gray

    With faces continuously motionless …
    Am sure, they forgot their names
    It was the saddest of days …
    As people tugged and ran to hospital’s ER

    With love in their heart …
    Pain in their faces
    And a brain they didn’t know they had
    With pictures of their lives

    … and the loved one’s
    On their hands
    With questions …
    “Is this person here?”

    How to respond …
    When survival were few – Too many lives gone …
    As the twin towers were both brought down
    … now they’re gone

    How to respond?
    We learned of transportation affected
    There were no trains, no buses
    No airlines opened …

    As all planes seemed not in mid air
    Seemed they all disappeared …
    All the trains in NYC failed to operate
    As the MTA was numb from employees

    Walking like endless zombies …
    Were they seemed more than dead
    People walking in disbelief …
    How could this had happened?

    I made it my business to write poems
    I forwarded to 1199, my union
    To Staten Island Advance, the newspaper
    It published with the unusual heart
    … Ink of a black squid I didn’t write
    I have to pause

    I ate my pains …
    Found through my aching body
    Nobody knew anybody that day
    We own nothing but to live to appreciate

    We as Americans become one …
    We all stood tall … In grief and pain and all
    We Americans became one
    With each and every soul

    We prayed until we feel asleep
    We awoke, did we smoke?
    To calm our hearts that beaded as one
    Of blood rushing in to our brains …

    We thought we never had …
    Without a heart as numbed, it was …
    Children of the world
    Hope you never witness
    Such pain that even that everybody had
    … Even today
    We are still in pain as we hear their names
    I heard of my parish pastor …

    A mass for seven of our parishioners
    At Sacred heart …
    My heart was in such pains
    I reached out to each name
    … each family’s

    Framed poems I gave …
    With a ceremony proposed by I
    Flowers of roses I arranged
    With satin ribbons and by each sides

    I was blind from pain just like everyone else
    Until this date of 25th anniversary
    I get teary eyed …
    My brother-in-law Wilson Garcia

    Was the color of cement
    He died of Sept 11 related illnesses with toxins
    With home arrival all in gray
    He tried to erase this memory

    It was no use … it was too late
    He couldn’t this tragedy
    It was a reality …
    You couldn’t escape in your brain

    He took a bath …
    To remove this stain
    In his heart never the same
    He had hurt in his torso that was hermoso

    Meaning beautiful …
    He grabbed a spoon to eat
    He forgot how …
    He instead grabbed God

    Now You weaken by this happening, Dear God
    Just like us … Were you hiding in despair ?
    I thought you in the air in the year
    … Watching us?

    What happened were you asleep
    You forgot us?
    Lord, our Supreme and guider and protector
    Why you forget to protect and come to us?

    We all still numb
    We felt dumb …
    Not to reach those souls
    Where did they all go?

    Was it Father Mychal Judge?
    A Franciscan priest …
    Who entered wtih Saint Gabriel together
    Leading the way to the gate of heaven

    We woke up …
    To hear of this tragedy
    We all thought was a bad dream in our heads
    As steam from our head entered in

    We were more than numb
    Feeling of dumbness …
    No matter how smart you were
    We felt that we couldn’t remember our names

    It was no use to pretend …
    We are brave man and woman
    We were effortlessly ashamed
    Not to be able to carry pains as families

    Thought they would go insane
    From endless of pains …
    With blows in their heads
    They bent their knees asking God

    Why do you let this happe?
    What happened this day?
    Why you walked from us?
    Aren’t You supposed to watch over us?

    It’s been 25 years
    It seems like today
    You must wake us up
    We’ve been asleep …

    How can you cure some hearts?
    Start today …
    To watch away
    Few pains, than some more until you come

    Finish all …
    Can we feel tall
    We became midgets
    We rejected Satan and reached out to God

    However, we felt He never came
    The recovering process was slow
    It took a toll ..,
    Our children were picked up early from school

    We all thought we all need to find a school
    To erased our memory
    Of one of our darkest if our darkest day
    Men joined the ROTC …

    To prove Americans always fight back
    They’re heroes of the days
    Let every mother hold their wombs
    In the tombs their children buried

    Mothers are not supposed
    To bury their children first
    It was through love and dedication
    With forgiveness by our God

    Not to crush nor rush …
    As we not able to brush it away
    We forgot how to brush our hair
    Did we all want to rush and kill these men?

    It was through prayers
    That God wake us up
    His heart was numbed
    Like everyone …

    He sends His love to all …
    To feel tall like the highest mountain
    To seek love like the highest peak
    Do not feel weak to seek
    … we speak His love

  • The Power of Music

    Music melts my heart
    Like ice cream in the sun
    While my mind goes to sleep
    Is another day in DR in the sun

    The power of music I’ve gained my heart fills up
    Is like the power of Superman from Kryptonite
    It can put you to sleep day and night as you stay
    As makes your heart feel alright …

    Music transport the mind
    To another place
    As I come back
    Is love I have

    Music takes away your pain …
    It can take you away to a place you want
    It can make you escape to a nicer place
    It calms the biggest storm …
    … It can bring calmness you never known

    Music can sooth your mind and soul
    If you don’t mind me saying
    Is a prayer to your God … that He sends
    Your love brings you there …

    Why did I mention God a lot?
    Because without Him
    The world wouldn’t exist
    He gave me yesterday, today perhaps more of
    … tomorrows with less sorrows

    Music is an angel singing
    A passive song …
    Could it be of love?
    Perhaps not, but is music to your soul

    Music are the languages
    All souls understand …
    It doesn’t matter where you from
    We all become one with love …

    Music is a picture …
    You can feel it in your heart
    As your heart becomes alive
    As you dive into the water of love

    Music melts my heart …
    Yea, music melts my heart
    That’s because I can feel it
    As it becomes numb with love

    As it becomes a work of art
    I prefer never to brag but race to love
    Music puts the heart
    At ease and at peace

    Is it a pill everyone …
    And every heart should take
    It’s a need the soul needs
    I will not tease …

    But bring you peace
    With it … Music tends
    To mend every broken heart
    Why may I state?

    Because it’s a feeling
    Every man needs …
    Music cures a broken heart
    That had no love …

    It replaces an empty soul
    And an empty heart
    That now has found love …
    Music seeks the loneliness of soul
    This way was written just for you

    It’s a cure to unwrap sadness
    It’s now the time
    To recover …
    And awake with love

    Music are the seeds of love
    Is that dead seed of hate …
    That music has buried onto the cemetery
    It’s love and the ability to live giving love

    Music seeks love …
    Is the toughest to forgive in
    As music places love on the highest peak
    For everyone to reach and pick …
    … yea, for everyone to reach and pick

    Music are the melodies
    In your head as you sleep
    Being the softest of sounds
    As once’s weak now you strong

    Music blesses the souls
    As gold spits you out
    As your body takes control
    As you’ve let all go …

    The negatives to escape
    Music I know melts my heart
    Making it write poems
    More of it to be viewed

    Music comes and go
    More of it …
    Many stanzas
    Multiples of it

    Music calms
    All of me
    Can it calm you?
    Try it as a recipe of love and peace

    Now go take a ride
    Be a bride
    With music
    Let it be yours and your new eyes

    I say is God abandoned …
    I say say is the soul gone wrong
    I say is a friend you thought you had
    I say is a prayer now you’ve no have a tongue

    What happens of a broken bird?
    His tiny microscopic heart ticking
    As his mother played tricked …
    He now can’t eat feeling weak

    His broken wings …
    Not allowing him to fly
    Shall I say get wax wings
    No! You must learn to navigate without one

    Trust your mind little one
    Learn to seek God
    From the inside
    You still got a tongue
    … Think about about

    Let none take it from you
    It’s He you’ll need …
    Look up to Him
    Allows others not

    Come away with me tiny bird
    Perhaps as you sit near me
    I can feel your pains
    Then you can explain

    I’ll listen …
    Maybe not as you may think
    I do not have money to give, which is a gift
    But love that is free …

    Come from where you are
    Seek peace and love
    Follow those breeze
    Yea, follow those breeze

    Follow those free breeze
    Yea, follow those free breezes
    Coming your way …
    It can be yours, only friend

    You may want to ask
    Why they have left you
    Without wings?
    I say is jealousy, the ugliest of all the emotions

    You unique …
    Unlike all others
    Do not let them play you bad
    Or tricks on you

    Never let it happen
    Or continue to be
    Get out of your dreary state
    Do not let misery

    Become your new name
    Be brave little one …
    Be prepared …
    And get out of there

    Aim high like a kite
    Set your mind free
    Excercise everyday
    Until the day you die

    Die trying …
    Better than being stagnant
    Instead of dying without trying
    Be strong little one …

    Have microscopic
    Bits of faith …
    Then grow it to gigantic one
    Run, run and run fast little one

    Get out of there …
    Run faster til you reach
    A birdie that once was you
    Sit next to it, yea

    Sit next to me
    And God …
    And seek His advice
    Yea, seek His advice

    He’ll tell you
    He was once you
    He no longer is
    He can show you His scars

    Believe he once was you
    Just go to the beach
    Look at those prints
    Now ask your God

    Are these your prints
    Left from your no wings?
    As you suffered …
    He gave you two to never trust again

    He’ll answer you
    As fast as He can
    Remember this test
    Yea, remember this was a test

    You’ve pass
    These new test
    Now you’ve wings
    As forever yours to keep … Amen

    She vacationed with me
    A daughter she to me

    I love her endless …
    As the Earth needs the moon

    She’s been through rough edges
    Just like everyone … perhaps more

    She’s super tough …
    I think she came from Kryptonite

    I may ask …
    Is she related to Clarke Joseph Kent?

    She is never satisfied with her physique
    Always perfection she seeks …

    She super strong … can make any man weak
    Why I say this?

    She’s grown emotionally with some scars
    To prove she passed the test, few can’t …

    If you sit down to talk to Tori …
    She looks taller then she really is

    She’ll probably open up like a wild flower
    Then she become like a pussy cat or a puppet
    … yea, a puppy

    She already found one …
    He is white named Luna in DR

    She is a science teacher
    With beauty and brains

    She can get madder and madder and madder
    than anyone! Why you may ask?

    She survived wars like Vietnam …
    With dynamite exploding on her torso

    Been left for practically dead
    Still she rose like Lazarus …

    Is there any badness to her name?
    Well, she is not perfect neither are we

    But, still she tries to be …
    If you ask me to score her 1-to-10

    I say she’s a 10
    … and more not everyone

  • The Deadliest of Sins

    The deadliest of sins
    Is not to let God in

    Subscribe with your favorite podcast player

    Apple PodcastsAndroidRSS

    Is not to listen to Him
    Is not to allow Him in

    Is not to seek peace
    To let the devil in …

    To not forgive …
    To rekill when you’ve already killed

    To not walk away from Satan …
    And continuously give to him or her chances

    Not to listen to God’s commands
    When only He, is the Commander

    To let the evil one cause harm
    Knowing you in harms way

    To suffer because they are insane
    When you not, but continue to take their pain

    To suffer in silence …
    When you have your judge, your God

    Not to reach out to him in need …
    When only He can understand your pains

    In your trials and sorrows you thought …
    No tomorrows because you didn’t see the sun

    When you forgot who He was …You abandoned Him, you thought He’ll won’t come

    No giving yourselves room to grow saintly …
    Betraying God, measuring up to those devils

    Turning your back on Him and out
    To the rich gangsters instead of Him

    Be wise and nice think always more than twice
    Is only right to love the one who gave you life …

    What is the the deadliest of all sins?
    To grab your keys toss it out the door
    … or the window

    Because, you never saw Him! Now your child
    Is sick and you can’t go to hospital on time

    It is a crime to have lack of faith never pray
    It is a blessing to have no pocket money
    … a heart full of love

    The reflection of my soul grows
    Letting no one know …
    It’s a beginning and an ending
    Everywhere she goes it’s love that shows

    Whether you see it or not
    Do not wait for dry weather to show
    It’s better to know her
    Not later but now that show its love

    She ages like the best of wines
    She understands now …
    It doesn’t matter
    What they may say

    It’s her God that stands and states
    “Let the first of man
    Give rise she’s not a no good but hell!”
    Do it matter what you may think?

    Do it stand water? All of your badness
    Your cruelties and inequalities
    What are your qualities that
    You can stand on one hand?

    How dare you find wrong in her?
    Measure your ruler
    Measures hers
    Is it the same?

    You may think
    You strong
    She’s weak
    But He knows the real you

    Whether you like it or not
    If you tempt to hurt her again
    You will be measure …
    Not by your ruler nor rules

    God has His rules … You may have your
    Policy and procedures reverse
    As you tried to blame her
    It’s you, who’ve ruled

    Now, let’s blame you
    You cruel and a beast
    It’s not her …
    Who have stated

    It is He …
    Who’ve witnessed
    You can’t hide nor run
    Do not take out your gun to kill her

    She had a shield not from this earth
    You forgot you not stronger than God
    It is He who knows her …
    I say good bye never to come back

    My prints
    My love
    My God
    Has set me free …

  • Can a Fungus Wipe Out the Human Race?

    Is it a scene like “The Last of Us”?
    Where our ecosystems and human tissues
    Riding wild and rodding like melted bad cheese
    Describing mozzarella under a thick umbrella

    Humans no longer function … they’re zombies
    With fungal brain eating healthy creatures
    Now, they become them …It’s an insanity and Overwhelms us to question!

    Can a fungus …
    Wipe out the human race?
    Yea, can a fungus wipe out the human race?
    Like tasting a bad salami in Miami …

    Hearing deadly tsunamis
    Racing like a zombies …
    Caused by earth’s crust
    Crushing as plate titanic

    How scary an apoplectic fungus
    That turns apocalyptic
    Is it realistic?
    Deadly infectious and futuristic pathogens

    Let’s name the deadliest …
    Because of its spiraling fungal spores
    That threatens and roars …
    Like a silent storm rushing in uncontrolled

    The chytrid fungus … grabs insects
    Crawls onto frogs and bats by so called
    White-nose syndrome … Candida auris, MDRO Yeast doesn’t react much to ABX’s

    What do I mean by ABX’s
    It’s an abbreviation! It’s antibiotic for short!
    What is it all that?
    Multi-drug resistant organisms

    Not good at all …
    Carries huge risk on humans
    On the weaken victims …
    May possess risks in healthcare environments

    It’s like hearing a roaster at night
    As you try to sleep …
    It’s voice you hear all night in your head
    Of zombies crawling on your bed

    It’s the episodes of some tv shows
    “The Last of Us”
    Where they break your door
    Not matter how tall or strong you are
    You are weak!

    Just thinking is an exhaustion
    Unable to rest, tired, numb thinking
    You dumb not able to defend …
    Should you cry and/or shout out

    MDRO, C.auris no antibiotics (ABX’s) to treat
    The once susceptible ones
    Are now resistant to no drugs as regime
    A real dilemma as you feel the tremors

    Can climate change stir the pot
    As temperature rises up?
    Mammals temp: 98.6 F/37 C degrees
    Humans are adaptable not to bad bugs

    Does fungus post damage to our ecosystems?
    Yes? Think of honeybee inside its abdomen, its Abdominal tissue full of Nosema or Chalkbrood
    Swollen bellies hard larvae now becomes
    … mummies from an unhealthy tummies

    Is it time to run dear honey?
    Well, fungus can’t change humans to zombies
    It can turn a honey to an un-honey bee
    No longer sweet that can be but death

    What causes fungus to go in disarray?
    Chalkbrood caused by:
    Ascosphaera apis
    Infects the larvae

    Descriptively a black devil walks in
    As is the turning of white-black
    Rubbery mummies not normally
    What walks in uncontrolled temp’s?

    Conditions could be …
    Turned on by cold, wet or poor hive vents
    Leading to no good events
    The sun darkens in …

    There’s others deadly ones …
    That of more than dead of enormousity
    The likes as invasive C.albicans, Aspergillous fumigatus; black mold, pneumocystis jirovecii

    More deadly fold are C. neoformans
    Cryptococcal meningitis
    Spinal cord, CSF infection
    Swelled of the brain as is deadly

    Symptoms appears really hard as headaches
    Spiking in temperatures
    Stiff neck follow by confusion
    Nausea and vomiting … can lead to death

    How spread? Directly from dirt
    Inhalation of yeast spores
    Breathing in pigeon droppings
    How you ID super quick?

    BioFire FilmArray
    Yea, BioFire FilmArray
    Meningitis/Encephalitis
    M/E panel
    ID within an hour

    Cultures takes 24-to 48 hours
    Rapid thinking …
    A must to save lives
    With spiking fever and confusion

    Reasons to act fast …
    A Microbiologist enters steps in
    To save the day …
    As patient escapes death thru her hands

    A man or woman of sciences walked in
    Clothed in white and a microscope
    It’s an encapsulated yeast with a halo
    Not an angel but India Ink wet mount

    It’s molecular technology
    At its best Polymerase chain reaction, PCR
    Treatment 3rd generation cephalosporins
    Ceftriaxone or cefotaxime
    … yea, Cef-tri-a-zone or cefo-ta-xime

    Now ..
    I like to end
    We’ve killed
    This unfriend, hooray

  • Does Time Really Heal all and old Wounds?

    You know with a friendly note
    There are slogans …
    Some better than others
    This one, matters to me most of all

    Subscribe with your favorite podcast player

    Apple PodcastsAndroidRSS

    They say “Time heals all wounds”
    I say and question “Does time really
    heal all and old wounds?”
    As the heart continuously pumps red blood

    Does it matter who you are
    and/or it doesn’t matter who you are?
    I have to pause and think!
    Yea, you do the thinking now!

    There comes entry of storms … earthquakes
    Tsunamis, tornados, cyclones, hurricanes
    Mon-STR-OUS floods not from a waterfall
    Terrestrial episodes from the unknowns

    Where can you hear the spirit break?
    The human breakdowns from psychopaths
    With an unhealthy brain and demonic heart
    We cannot blame it to climate change!

    Which episodes are the worst from all?
    I believe betrayal, rape, intentional disloyalty
    As hurt, cruel setup like false accusations …
    Damages with personal hurt, horrific beatings

    Hostile environmental followed by toxic
    Defamation of character followed by hostile
    and harrassment in every form with beatings
    Definitely not human mistakes …

    Most disqualifying form of unkindly acts
    Are the demonic curses human’s performs
    Who is not nice all … be aware
    Of these wolves and/or zombies

    Not now at my age
    I like to describe
    As how to recognize
    These unfriendly guys or gals

    They enter in discreetly as a good samaritan
    Their rotten soul is what you must know
    You must not listen but learn to observe
    You got to recognize and walk away from dirt
    … it is what they are

    It is not negativism …
    It is the reality of an ugly of not humane
    It is the devil dressed in white
    You must know it is a disguise not in quiet
    … but in the rottenness in forms

    It is like a deadly infectious disease
    Like bread onto a mould as it grows
    As it crawls onto your skin
    You got not to touch it … throw it and let it go

    Their toxic tongues releases toxins
    Are the worms worn on their jeans
    As they carried on their human genes
    They are torn having no love …

    Know more … of this pathogenicity
    It’s origin as appears tough
    In order to proof have love but, not
    Is a cement-sicken brain demented and twisted

    Their love is hate …
    It is painted all over their face
    They live in a prison … their cell is hell
    They allow themselves never to escape

    They leave endless of hate
    Everywhere they go … allergies
    They seek hate never love …
    They reverse love to hate

    Every bridge they cross
    They never escape …
    Their morals is more hate
    In order to multiple more of themselves

    Let’s bring them out … even they have gout
    Do not fall in their trap be wise
    Please recognize their hate
    No need to rate, please escape
    … Walk away to not get contaminated

    They’re wolves with two legs instead of four
    They speak not nice …
    They point their fingers at your face
    Thinking they rule over you, not true

    Do not become like them
    To be accepted …
    Pray and always walk away
    Is better to join love than that gang of hate

    They may think …
    By sticking to their crowd
    They’ll triumph over you
    Know stand alone with God
    … be that tiny star up in that sky
    … twlinkling and wrinkling at you
    … it is a smile from God

    It’s not a war … It’s not vengeance or revenge
    Forgive and pray as He may say “They do not
    Know what they do!”
    Set the stage to know what they doing!”
    They are dead and you are not!
    … know love lives and hate is death

    I do not want war
    I do not want revenge
    I do not want to make up
    That’s because, none deserves me

    Going back to that saying …
    I say time do not heal all and/or old wounds
    You die with it and I believe you must learn
    It is nice to walk with caution and be equipped
    … it’s what I learned

    The sun fades …
    The clouds disappears
    The moon goes away
    The sun-rays wakes us up
    … yea, the sun-rays wakes us up

    That arrow structure pain …
    As it pieced heart
    You may call it … emotional trauma
    I call it insane is what they are?

    With a broken heart …
    As they left you scared
    How to make it fade?
    I say is shape and dull to let it go
    … yea, I say is sharp and dull to let it go

    Try to master only love
    Then hate will go …
    Now, place your hands next to your heart
    Let the light in God enter in …
    Believe never in their dark rules
    Their policies and procedures to rule with hate
    Got to be changed and bury hate
    In order to wake up love …

    Some may say …
    I’ll take days, months, years and therapy
    I say an eternity to erase hate …
    You got to bury your head with love
    … their mistakes not yours but, theirs

    Now is the time to be wise to rate
    Their cruel acts from 1 to 100
    I say was the worst a chance
    You should never take …

    They desire a calculation
    Though or seconds …
    The phase that is “nail by nail, tooth by tooth”
    What does it mean?

    You got to fight like a lion
    and run like a marathoner
    Pray all your days …
    … and never let love escape

    You got to bring those perpetrator to justice
    You can’t let them get away
    With their injustice …
    You got to be strong aim for the light

    You must stop them in their acts
    In order to bury their hate
    You cannot let them get away
    As hurting others must be stopped

    I like to open a school where everyone’s hurts
    Will go away …
    I will let it to continue to exists not
    I would bury all the hate
    By planting new seeds of love

    How to start?
    I must start by reaching
    To the deepest and highest mountain
    Listen to its echos that is God …

    I would start to listen
    To every confused heart
    Especially every sadden ones
    I would dig an imaginary hole and enter love

    Then, I would magnetize the melodies …
    Make their heart numb with peaceful sounds
    Remove all of their painful memories
    Add love and place hate in a box

    I would cement it and seal it
    I would throw it at the Pacific Ocean
    I would never be see again as corals grows on it
    A promise I like to keep en mi alma de azul
    … My blue soul that is gold

    Know time is transient …
    Would I allow time to be a friend?
    How to define time?
    We know, that at time is not a friend

    Because why is it good people die?
    Why the bad one gets to live?
    Life is fair?
    I say not because not everyone finds love!

    Going back to the slogan
    How to comprehend grief
    When at the end
    Is never fair?

    Like looking …
    I to a black mirror …
    You know can only see darkness
    You got to see the light never the dark

    I would change every clocks …
    I would break every mirrow holding hate
    I would look at God’s splendors
    Question Him why must have hate?
    … Why must have live?
    … It must be bury

    I would break down every rules
    I would make it straight and right
    I would change every dark heart
    I would bring light bury black in their heart

    I would wake up every good heart
    I would make every untarnished souls natural
    I would bring love back …
    I would give every heart in hurts the light

    I would make all their wrongs right
    I would give them all the greatest
    Of gifts …
    That is love …

    That would be …
    Ahead a new start at love
    Give a heart full of love
    Leaving no regrets only ove

    Ease their pains … ask God endless peace
    By removing all their past of hate, How?
    As they sleep ask more of God
    To bring them love …

    I like to give and bring closure …
    To the broken hearted and grieved hearts
    To stay with love instead
    By letting all go …

    In order
    To live
    and keep love
    … Amen

    Nothing in the likes of love 

    Love pulls and enters …

    As a magnet and goes when none

    The most powerful force is love 

    Let me focus on love …

    Love makes us grow to perfection 

    It’s through love we here on this planet Earth 

    Are the reasons …we’ve birds 

    As it seeks more of it in groups 

    Flowers, trees, honeybees, our ocean’s floors

    And flowers flourishing with it 

    … as gives us treats to eat

    I want to connect and make it short 

    The theme of love and express it 

    Even defend it 

    It’s the reasons 

    We all must grab love

    You got to grab it to the fullest 

    Like a magnet 

    Take it full strength 

    My writings doesn’t have to lengthen 

    I as try to explain love

    All writers have explained it already 

    As I go … just have to flow with love

    As I the see the moon 

    As silently grabs and pulls 

    The ocean tides 

    As its bride 

    Can I tell why it doesn’t seem to be alone?

    The strength of the ocean and the moon

    Are indeed bride and groom 

    It prefers sand as its children 

    There’s rivers where you can see water flow

    As tiny creeks in different lines 

    Fills the landscapes …

    There you do not want to escape 

    If a preference … of peace and love 

    To stay hearing the birds chirp

    It’s call to mate … as a slow rate 

    Take a plate feed the chicks waiting to be 

    I can see the sun leave 

    As tomorrow will welcome in 

    I can hear the new babes cries 

    Is hungry alright, it had arrive on time 

    Soon will grow and crawl 

    A new young comes fine tune

    From its mother’s womb 

    It smells her perfume of love 

    She’ll protect her young and all of her offspring’s

    In the winter and spring 

    She spring ahead every year 

    To get ahead … 

    Soon, will be another year 

    The start of school, college, a new job and …

    Marriage and offspring of its own 

    Nature always has it’s way … a cycle of life 

    Evolution takes an illusion 

    To be what aught to be

    Is it fate? 

    Let’s have faith by grabbing all the love today 

    We know today …

    Tomorrow will come 

    For some not for all 

    Take today with love 

    Let hate go 

    Never tempt it 

    To bring it back 

    Be glad is gone

    Take love 

    Love, love 

    … and only 

    Love!
