Howl Immatation

I see the greatest mind of my generation fall into societies cradle...

I see destruction, ignorance, narcism, hubris, filth, and cruelty...

Men and women who fight just to live, live to fight and enjoy their pain and suffering...

Innocents being tortured unmercifully...

drunks, druggies, lazy selfish human beings that just get through life instead of living, and yet living the life they think is great and fantastic until they hit rock bottom and finally realize what they have done to themselves and others around them...

I see hope, truth, loyalty, faith, grace, purity, and purpose...

Men and women fighting for our future...

Pure souls giving hope to those of us that are willing to help ourselves and others...

Thinkers, hard workers, and lovers of this world and those in it, trying to save this planet that we live on and every living soul and creature on it...

I see both good and bad in this world, societies political leaders are a joke, controlling us and showing us who we should be and what we should think is good for us. We were not meant to be manipulated and yet we allow ourselves to be so easily. It's a rarity now that you find someone fighting, alone, but with great heart. I hope to one day see this as less of a rarity and more of a common occurrence. This planet is dying along with us. We're killing ourselves but there is hope...

Thirteen ways of looking at Hot Cheetos

I

Among multiple bags of chips
The bag that caught my eye
Was the Hot Cheetos bag

II

I was filled with joy,
Like a kid
In hopes of going to Disney Land

III

The Hot Cheetos called to me
It sounded like the rest

IV

A boy and a girl
Are one
A boy and a girl and a bag of hot Cheetos
Are one

V

I do not know how to choose
The morsel within reach
Or the money in my pocket
The Hot Cheetos calling
Or whatever

VI

I walk away
With my mouth watering
At the thought
Of those delicious
Hot Cheetos
