How wrong it is "If it bleeds it leads"

Crab up a rig
And run it dry
Blow an air bubble
Right in your eye
From your elbow
To your thigh
Top of your feet
You can always rely
That bubble?
Has to travel farther
Into your eye
But you can't see

How wrong it is

Bob Jenkens

Across the seas "the Infamous sadness"

A pencil to a friend
or a friend to a pencil?
Still I don't know......
How to send
A simple S.O.S
To ask for help
Deserted on a peninsula
A pencil for a paddle
and this paper for the seas
Weather you see it is up to you....
My friend

  I write in a 75 cent composition book. I work as a builder and I always have my book with me. When It's full I read through it take out the pages littered from job estimates and compile the poems on the front pages of a new composition book. When I drive to work I think about what I should write. My kindle direct  books are from years and years of my poems. If it bleeds it leads is the title I've chosen for my current composition book.  I love to share what I write and to see it being read on the other side of the world is impressive to me. Thanks for reading! Participation is always encouraged. shoot me something I'll talk. My post are always loaded with more links to other poems and other life experiences. (just keep clicking) I don't know how it comes together in the end. I couldn't have wrote it if God didn't plan it out. If you watch a video know that every house I roofed. I can carry two bundles of shingles up a ladder at the same time on a bet a dare or to impress a pretty girl.

Two writes don't make a wrong "if it bleeds it leads"

Things have changed a lot around here.  I’ve become a single parent again.relapsing.html Before, I was working as much as I could to try and dig us out of a financial hole. Gavin’s Mom didn’t work, her responsibility was Gavin. Get him off the bus, do his spelling and love him. We’ve been fixing a lot of things. My son is a polite and courteous boy. Has an overflow of energy. He’s all boy.

  He’s been doing poor at spelling. Two right out of twelve. Mom had been having him write his words. I asked him “how does Mr. Hard test you”?  Gavin says he says them to him. So now we say spelling words and Gavin gets two wrong now. I asked him what it’s like to know the answers and I can see the excitement in his face Yeah he said and I see him encouraged to work with me on them. At dinner we use to have him eat in his room. He won’t eat most of what we would eat so it just played out he would eat first in his room. Well per Laura Lynn this is unacceptable. I’ve changed his diet he eats what I eat and we eat it at the table together.  I’ve also taken over laundry responsibilities. I couldn’t help but notice the terrible skid marks in Gavin’s 5 nights at Freddie under ware. So I waited and caught him on the shitter. How you wiping your butt dude I asked him. His under ware lay on the floor I carefully roll them over so he can see the mark and I tell him that’s not right. Show me how you do this. I don’t want to be graphic here but I immediately told him no no no no don’t do that that’s not going to work. I can’t believe he’s had my phone in here.  It was time for butt wiping 101.

  I made spaghetti tonight. Gavin don’t like any meat in his sauce he’s funny like that. I cut his spaghetti up with a pizza cutter and Laura Lynn thinks that’s genius. Laura Lynn turned me on to putting cottage cheese in my spaghetti. It makes it like lasagna. If Gavin has three different foods he wants three different forks and nothing can touch each other. Cheese on spaghetti is ok.  Laura Lynn didn’t join us tonight…..  Gavin was ready to sit down at the table to eat with me. Tonight he sat down in his spot before spaghetti was done. He was trying to order chicken patties. I had to remind him I’m making spaghetti.  While we were eating Gavin said to me “I’m glad mom is gone”. I asked him why? He told me because “you take  better care of me” he said” mom was just here”. I’m only getting to work about 5 hours a day chasing the school bus. I can see I was using her for a crutch and she wasn’t for either of us.three-strikes-youre-out-if-it-bleeds-it.html

We have a lot more changes to make but I can feel it the toxicity is gone.

I'm not colleen Kaepernick " if it bleeds it leads"

I'm so poor
My voice is suppressed
Useless
It's not laryngitis
I'm not Colin Kaepernick
He gets thrown
A 40 million dollar contract
While the people he's
Kneeling for
Are overcrowded in jails
Misrepresented
By attorney generals
Through a revolving door
Criminal
          Just us system

 I don't know how things are going to turn out for Donald Trump I don't know how things are going to turn out for Donald Trump
Am I repeating myself? I guarantee you there's already some plans.
You don't see him going to Saudi Arabia and shaking nobody's hands.

My poor world "if it bleeds it leads"

My name is God
And I am only human
In my dreams
I dreamt up nation's
I made available
Agriculture and natural resources
More than enough to share

I made up solutions to problems

I knew they would incur 
I gave them free will
To sprinkle on each other
They took their free will
And developed hunger, racism, injustice and politics

I didn't dream of greed

they developed that themselves
They use their free will to bully the world

Then I woke up
My name is God
And I am only human
But so are you!

Life goes on " if it bleeds it leads"

If you drown
A WIC
In wax
It is just
A candle
If you light
The WIC
A fire will
Burn
The wax
Will melt

You're stupid!

 I'll be damned
If I didn't wake up this morning
And change the world

Started a revolution
A war of the words
Like Orson Welles
I'll be damned

I'm a dick " if it bleeds it leads"

You can't beat the heroin
Out of an addict relapsing.html?m=1
You can't understand
If you're not an addict

You can't beat
Her own in
Or maybe I'm just
A dick

Today Tonight tomorrow (2013 composition book)

I asked God for a sign
       Today
           Tonight
               tomorrow
But I almost need an atlas
I can almost follow directions
After my own discretion's.... fail
          Today
              Tonight
                  tomorrowmy-future-forecast-if-it-bleeds-it-leads.html

  The Bible is my Atlas
Although it
might as well be in
Spanish or French...         
 
To me:
              It's why I need a sign to read
              Forgive me Lord
              I can read
              but I only believe
              what I see.....



And I can't believe what I'm seeing.it-dont-pay-to-be-homeless-less-than.html

Smile " will write for food"

My life was once so dark, I couldn't even see.
The pounding of my heart was all that seemed free
Then one day the strangest thing
A smile seemed to appear
All the birds began to sing and
Made the world seem clear
I wandered around until I reached the sea
Where waves crashed on the shore
There I seen you look at me
And found that smile was yours
Now I'm in another world and finally I can see
Happiness does exist and a smile set me
free!

 I wrote this piece to a penpal 25 years ago I need a new pen pal who's up to have something wrote about them?
How about a little brown Berry?

Inside my eyes " if it bleeds it leads"

Two faces inside my eyes
One who fights and one who cries
I that fights tries to be strong
Telling my tears it won't be long
I that cries
Is hidden inside
Shivering cold and wanting to die
I've hidden in Shadows
And counted my tears
Looking through windows that are more like mirrors.

A magical miracle

Christina Benton showed us her disappearing act.three-strikes-youre-out-if-it-bleeds-it.html?m=1
  Now let me show you my Act on a roof while I work my anxiety gone.

/watch-me-pull-rabbit-out-of-my-butt.html?m=1 

I'm just a dumb roofer watch one of my videos every roof you see in it I've done by myself! 

It didn't seem like magic but it did go from green to brown.

Frank Lee " if it bleeds it leads"

Maybe I
Should I change my name
To Frank

Frank jenkens
Or I could
Just be frank

Just be frank
I think that's a newspaper
Frankly I wonder
If the news
Isn't Frank Lee
Bruce Lee's Grandpa's brother
Misleading
The truth and reality

Suicide?

When my cousin Richie died it looked like a suicide. I remember at his funeral I was standing next to Jerry Wilson over Richie's casket. Jerry put his arm around me and he told me if I should ever consider anything like this that he wanted me to come talk to him. sooner-or-later-were-all-dieing-living.html?m=1

So here I set September 1st talking to a gravestone. Jerry I've been working and trying and I can't get up out of this hole. I would contemplate killing myself before leaving.
  This piece is been sitting in my drafts unpublished. I obviously couldn't get out of a hole because I was dragging dead weight Christina Benton left us 3 weeks ago have not heard one word from her.relapsing  She did us a favor a blessin in disguise.
Because I didn't fall into woe is me. I hit another gear and I'm gone you're stupid Christina. She's going to be dead I guess it's okay I know I'll never take her back when rigor mortis sets in.

Pray for stupid

 Christina used to tell me "you're stupid" saying dumb things comes natural to me. Just put a microphone in front of me. I swore if I got another radio job I was going to record her saying you're stupid and put it on a button so every time I said something I could hit the button and there would be Chrissy "you're stupid". It's true I'm dumb about a lot of things. I've never claimed to be smart. /relapsing.  Christina relapsed, tomorrow is 3 weeks without hearing anything from her just got a text message and she's gone. But who's counting? Last time it was a whole year before we heard from her. Who's stupid now?
  I'm stupid about a roof! I love to  roof of house all by myself. I'm up there singing and working my anxiety gone. I started a roof today in Addison and got rained on twice I always say when I tear someone's roof off the chance of rain significantly increases. I wrote a poem about Christina being a magician with an amazing disappearing act. So today before I started this roof I posted watch for my magician Act. I'm going to turn this roof from green to Brown. Nothing up my sleeve give me three days.

  When I got to the job this morning the homeowner was on her way to church. I used to go to church.I use to go to church  As she was getting in her car she said to me you're going to roof this house by yourself? Yes I am then she said she was going to go to church to pray for me. I told her thank you! A long time ago in my life I angered  and raged out at a man that told me "I'll pray for you". I told him not to do me any favors and I think I may have been about to hit him. He just came up and tried to talk to me and I told him "I'm not friendly". I remember my mom telling me the Lord works in mysterious ways maybe something good will come from this. It made me furious with God. How could good come from me getting sent to prison? I've been belly Shackled handcuffed at the waist and ankles chain to eight other men. You can't even kill yourself in prison. It's no place to be! I didn't hate God from the start. I started going to church and use prayers to calm me down I have issues with anxiety. supercalifredulious.html?m=1Some nights I absolutely can't sleep. So I write dumb poems. When I got sent to prison I had a beautiful little girlfriend. I sent her a letter from quarantine and told her you might as well go on your way I have five to ten years to do. She shows up for a visit with a great big smile on her face. You're not going to get rid of me that easy I'm pregnant. I got married in prison my son was born October 7th 1987. I wrote a shower of rain in prison. I couldn't tell you the day I got married 11 days after Teddy was born Crystal brought him to see me one time and that was the last time I seen her. I didn't see Teddy again until his grandma Pam brought him to see me she said she had had him for 6 months. yeah I don't know how anything good is going to come from this. One person can't pray enough for God to Hear My Cries. I'm asking you to pray for me too! Will write for food

Sometimes you can't do anything about anything but write. I've been left by prettier girls and worst places. Christina used to get mad at me when I would write she said I was ignoring her. Maybe something good will come out of this it could happen!/it-could-happen-all-around-world-peace.html?m=1
