Fighting anxiety
With depression
and stress
all in one breath
With a side of questions
and no answers
Broken down
and bent
Having anxiety for breakfast
See if there's a pill
On the menu
Look for answers
On the specials
Grilled cheese
and split pea soup
For two
Bob Jenkens
I have this immense anxiety I have to do something for the poor people. Be their voice some how? I can't explain it.
I'm a dumb roofer I can roof a house by myself and love doing it. I write does it make me a writer? why do I feel like I have anything to write?
I write my experiences in life only I can't write it as a story. It might be frustrations from my consistent car troubles to love and political/religious opinion.
In the back of my head I'm always writing but I can't get it the way I want so it don't end up on print. Poems are like my notes. are you taking notes? Please do and somehow together we can make sense of this.
I use to be the kid in class who kept his head close to the desk directly behind a fellow class mate trying not to be called on by the teacher to read aloud in class.
I barely graduated high school at Columbia central in Brooklyn. I was 19 years old in prison when I started writing. before I was released I applied to the specs Howard school of broadcast arts. I wanted to be a dj. I wanted to have a loud voice and point out the injustice of our judicial system. I've worked as a morning show host a program director a news director. I don't think sheriff Germond knew I was an ex con when he invited me to his retirement Christmas party or if it would have mattered. What I liked about being a news director was writing facts. Anything on a police report you could report and not be liable to accusations of slander. "It was in the police report". Since then I've discovered police lie. You can't even imagine what reality is if you have any belief our system is just. It gives me anxiety cause I know different and I'm a dumb builder.
so the people who know the truth our politicians do nothing to change it. and our news guys? their automated now paid fiscally to hide the truth.
at some point my fear of standing up in front of class and reading has been conquered. I've never before had something so important to say. Our judicial system will beat up a poor white man just as fast as they'll beat up anyone else. Even the mentally incompetent they don't deserve to be in our prisons after they're bullied by our public defenders (Eric kisser John t glaizer) and a kangaroo court with a revolving door.
