Time is stagnant as the clock laughs at my impatience

My mind is racing, unable to track my thoughts

The lecture goes on; Categorical Syllogisms are…

He is saying something…Important?

LISTEN! I command myself

Focus

Tic and then, and then it’s a…Toc

Something about Fallacies, Something about a TEST?

Something, Something assignment that’s due…Some day?

I NEED TO PAY ATTENTION, I need milk, bread, toothpaste

And….You have to LISTEN!

You are going to miss it

FOCUS!

Turn inconspicuously; look at the clock, How much longer?

You’ve got to be kidding me! I think someone broke the space-time continuum!

He will think I am lazy, unimaginative, undisciplined, Am I?

How do I tell them without seeming laughable, I am

Trying harder than they could possibly know

Listen, They say; Act your age

FOCUS!!

I think its time, class is almost over; I glance and

WHAT? Its just beginning…HOW?

He is discussing logic, reason, and…one could logically reason

That The Clock Is Broken!

I wish their was someone that understood the jumble,

Breakneck speed that are my thoughts

I want someone to listen, to…

focus

Everything you feel, touch,, smell, see, taste has its own energy, its own life. When you deny this fact, the energy will find a way to make its presence known, acknowledge or?

The wood your coffee table is made from, was once alive, it stood proud in a forest

It was a home for families, essential nourishment for some, security for others

The glass that your windshield is made of was once alive, it surfed on a seashore

Unwavering at its task to give life, and nourishment, and a sanctuary to living beings

The clothing you wear is made of cotton, it played and teased the open field,

bathed in the sun, drank in the rain, offered life, wealth, and vitality to the loved

We share this world with so many that we refuse to acknowledge, and yet their energy is ever-present, undeniable to some, unexplainable to others, allusive to few

Most everyone will recognize the energy of living things; people, animals, nature

Some will recognize the energy of a house, room, vehicle, toys, inanimate objects

Few will recognize the energy of a color, a shadow, a light, a temperature,

Most will sense the slow, creeping energy of fear, violence, hatred, anger and betrayal

Many know the dread of sensing the energy of anger, hate, violence, and frustration

Some are able to sense the more subtle energies of a kiss, a smile, a tear, or a blink

A few go through life barely acknowledging the sense of energy in the world around, most have the luxury of turning their sensory preceptors on and off but I…

I am part of a group that is larger than those that cannot sense or feel and much smaller than those w/ the ability to control the energy around by tuning it in or out

I and those like me are tuning forks for the world, I feel with the white-hot intensity of a thousand suns. Pain, fear, grief, and heartbreak awakes energy that sears my heart inflames my soul, and pierces every one of my senses. I vibrate from others joy.

My heart soars unimaginable heights when I witness kindness, generosity, compassion

Everything you feel, touch,, smell, see, taste has its own energy, its own life. When you deny this fact, the energy will find a way to make itself known, to be acknowledged.

We are young minds that trust you

We are eager to learn and eager to please

We will believe whatever you say

We are impressionable, and untainted

We are the working class, just the average Joe’s

We dream of a better tomorrow because We have been told it’s within our grasps

We are the ambitious, but undisciplined students.

We are the under paid, over worked masses; of the mediocre, middle-class

You taught us dream, but not how to fight

You patronize our efforts, and belittle our goals

You command respect and disrespect our intentions

You claimed our community college education was a joke, our ambitions laughable

We will silence the critics in the world, so that we might silence the critiques in our minds

We will wear our education like a coat of armor or badge of honor

We will be advocates for higher education and a role model’s for self-respect

We will be a students of the world, and humble servants for the greater good.,

Who The Fuck Are They?

They are the “Mean Girls”, of the world

They say BE NICE, But not too nice

people will walk all over you…they will not respect a pushover

They say be “Feminine” But they keep changing the rules on what is or who is feminine!

Be Athletic, but not a jock

Tall, but not a gawk

Thin, but not skinny

Curvy, but not round

What are they so afraid of? Everyone that stands outside the line of NORMAL

THEY are arrogant, cowardly, and greedy

BUT…but…BUT WHAT?

THEY Decide Who is White enough…Rich enough… Smart…Pretty…Feminine…Graceful…Intellectual

ENOUGH…ENOUGH!…ENOUGH!!

I am not a child anymore, all my life They’ve said that, I live in the “Greatest Country On Earth!

THEY said that if I educated myself and worked hard I could Have anything, Be anything, Do anything,

I dreamed…I DREamed…I DREAMED…THE BIGGEST DREAMS ANYONE COULD dreeaammm, and then I woke up… or I grew up and learned that THEY LIED!!!

What they meant was you could have it all IF,IF….AND ONLY IF…

You are a white, Christian man from the……………………..

Right family,

and the Right background,

from the Right University,

in the Right part of the country,

with the Right connections,

with the Right people,

at the Right time,

THEN, and only THEN…can U HAVE IT ALL and when U HAVE IT ALL

you will have the privilege of deciding…of being “THE DECIDER” of…

Who is worthy of Freedom, Happiness, Wealth, Adulation, Fame, Education, Healthcare, Eternal youth, Beauty, Purpose and lots, and lotS, and loTS, and lOTS, and LOTS of STUFF!

“Money doesn’t buy happiness”…but…It does buy STUFF, and if humanity has to suffer a bit so that THEY CAN HAVE LOTS OF STUFF; Then its fair to reason that

GOD CHOSE THEM!!! The Fact that they have lots of Stuff is the proof

Why would God will them obscene wealth and success?

Because, because, its in the BIBLE…and God Said, “Let The Whitest, Richest, Smartest, most Beautiful people in the world be called THEY, and THEY Will have grotesque amounts of STUFF and THEY will decide…………………everything…everyTHING…EVERYthing…EVERYTHINg!

I have a difficult time understanding people that attack Rosie or any celebrity that uses their media attention to spotlight important issues. Whether or not we agree with their stand on an issue is irrelevant. Whats more important is that when celebrities are brave enough to publicly state their opinions on sensitive topics, important discussions are sparked throughout the world.

For those of us that are sick to death of hearing about the latest Lindsey, Brittany, Nicole, Paris, Amy or Tartlett VonCelebrat’s umpteenth visit to resorthab, it is refreshing to read about celebrities that admit their imperfections and use their status to bring attention to worthy topics.
I don’t always agree with their opinions but at least they have the courage to have an opinion. I wonder how many of us would have the nerve to take a stand on something we passionately believed in if we knew that literally thousands of people would attack not just the opinion itself but our personage, our credibility, intelligence, and on and on.
In our current political climate speaking ones mind takes courage, and in the current celebrity obsessed media climate it is so refreshing to listen to celebrities speak about something more important than what designer made their fav gown, shoes, handbag, or tiny dog.
Rosie O’Donnell is a brave, heroic woman that lives her life openly, honestly, and makes no apologies for who she is. I would rather young girls follow her example than to follow the previously named “train wrecks” that teach young woman that using drugs, behaving promiscuously, getting drunk and waisting away ones life and talents is cool socially except able behavior.
