The Write Way
My face isn't carved in a mountain. I've never been struck by lightning. I've never saved a crying baby from a burning house fire nor have I over come my misfortunes in life to acquire a name for myself. I consider myself a writer although all I've written is only pieces of torn limbs of my distraught existence. (a bunch of poems)

When archeologist start over
When you get to really digging
I'm talking turning over rocks
To self investigate the life this poet's been living.
These are more than just thoughts
of a parent doing the dishes
Pretend you're discovering a new civilization
Before it disappears
Live and let live
Love you
Most importantly
Get right with God!

The Cannibalistic way
I heard the President say...
"We'll eat the poor and poverty will go away"
We'll import imigrant worker's
To work for minimum wage and
When they want a raise we'll blend them
Into sage
We'll bake the national gaurd on a rack
at 350 degrees and never bring them back to
See their families
We'll use our best technology turning Iraqis into
gas to power out Mercedes or we're never going to last.

I wrote this during the Bush administration, I find it offensive. It's a dumb poem, I posted it because this current president could slow down his anxiousness.
I'm just a dumb roofer would some smart people agree with me?

The politicians
As the politicians Converse our people disperse
it's all just madness
In given despair we all prepare though we
act unaware we just give them a stare
They'll do what they want and take what they want
with our eyes glazed over we look to our lives
For a moment life is good
then here's life with all reality and life is bad
but I can take the bad when it weighs out
with the good only bad is so often and heavy
That's not good!
In given despair we all prepare
and want what they take
welcome to the United States!

"Quarantine the freedom of speech"
My words flow
Across this piece of paper
Like an epidemic
Pandemonium
A tsunami of truth

"Calvary"
What's right
What's wrong
What's changed or not the same?
Why do I feel
I need to kill
Hang myself on a cross at the Capitol
The beginning of the end for me
But then you'll see
What's right, what's wrong
What's changed or not the same

"Elliptical"
I'm not a bad ass
Maybe a bad apple but
not to be mistaken for a rotten apple
Over ripened and unable to roll
to far from the tree
Theoretically, poetically but not too be
mistaken politically
A bad apple like the one that ruined
Adam and Eve
It wasn't the serpent
the apple, the tree
Not even Eve
It was God's own destiny
It is how it had to be!

Jesus would be rolling in his grave
I wish I would have been there when Jesus was betrayed (by Judas)
Simon Peter's stroke would have meant "go" and the story would have changed.
The Holy Bible written a different way.
I know he ascended into Heaven and arose on the third day, for if he didn't Jesus would be rolling in his grave.
Why couldn't the disciples fight?
It's what they've taken from us today.
In his name "in God we trust"
Justice or just us?
When Simon Peter dropped his sword
I would have gone to war for Jesus.
The story would have changed
No cock crowing, No last supper
It's a kosher BBQ

"Believe you me" Humanity
Do you perceive we've always believed in hatred
Like it was in our Genes? Handed down
I've seen us love one another
when destruction rains down, during life's tragedies Differences in what we believe can't be seen and in an instant become set aside humanity is alive.
Quite simply put people need to believe whatever they need to live in peace with themselves! To save this planet from our own selfish greed, no hate in believing peace could be believing in you and believing in me!
A letter from Scott to the rest of the world

I found the original and I don't believe I edited the beginning out. Authenticity is back in.

Cinderella pumpkin story
A Cinderella pumpkin story with no glass slipper A sky with a million stars and no Big Dipper. A moon that lights the sky and no first start to wish on. A pumpkin carriage ride and no girl to kiss on reckless as It seems streaking across the sky smashing all my dreams on a pumpkin carriage ride. Wish on me while I burn in your face. Kiss on me and try to learn to swallow and not taste. More like a comment than a shooting star I wonder how long it takes to forget who you are happy Valentine's Day!

Early February maybe May
like I was just born this morning a brand new day
The sun is shining birds are singing a 65° spring day
A perfect day to learn to walk again
freed from this cocoon I've been wrapped up in
I'm m going to start over when blessings descend
and flourish and warm sun rays
take a deep breath, brush off my shoulders, reach for
the sky and rise to my feet.
Look straight ahead
It's a brand new day
"Early February maybe May"

I don't know? I remember my teacher was mrs Powers. I remember we had square pices of carpet strung around on the floor. the windows face North lake road and the kickball field that had a big rock for second base. I remember being given some choices. being poor and healthy?
or being un healthy and rich. you get to live long and un healthy. or short and healthy.
I crawled out from under a rock last week. I'm sorry! I've been gone.
This poem "Early February maybe May" Is loaded with my will write for food kindle book. the kindle books will let you review the first two poems of each book.
