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)
Things will come
And go
Though it seems
Your not alive...
It's these prisons
That die
Fallen on Humanity
Watch and see
It's you and me
What I believe
And you can see.
I've been down and out.
Reality...
These prisons fold
Catered to Federal funding
Ten years seem like twenty
These prisons don't proclaim
Our destiny...
About your trillion dollar budget plan. Keep in mind I've never claimed to be smart. What I know I've learned at the school of hard knocks. I see budget cuts from several angels that concern me.
The Great Lakes initiative for example. Maybe President Trump has seen documents showing a waste in the 300 million dollar budget. There are eight states that share the great lakes along with two Canadian provinces. Mr Trump was recently in Michigan Does he not know about the Flint water crisis? Our Great lakes have had history made in battles of wooden ships. Now their wooden skeletons deteriorating on the bottom. Those were kinder environmental days. Now the industries on the river banks "accidentally"spill into the water ways. Along with are sewer plants.. Now the rivers water can't be treated "just by the paper work of the city council". And the water compiles and eventually reaches the Great Lakes shores.... Open to all pollutants. Eight states fresh water supply. Mr President for starters people can't be trusted. Our water ways must be monitored so millions of people can be environmentally safe.
300 million dollars when you consider eight states not to mention two Canadian provinces is a small amount for the amount of people affected.. I would imagine a few people would be out of work.
The Canadians Might well be our best neighboring country. Isn't it in good conscious that we collaborate with them At keeping our Lakes Great? since you can't just build a wall.
Oh and about the wall it appears to me that WIC and other programs like Meals on wheels and the Great Lakes initiative are footing the bill for building that southern wall. Remember I'm just a dumb roofer and maybe things look different from up here. But if you cancel funding for all these programs then they simply don't exist? Well then the people who work at the department of human services and the community action agency they don't have jobs any more? So now they don't have jobs do they become the new poor until your four years are over #Mr President...
The Mexicans are going to pay for the wall doesn't fly with me. Would you build a wall to keep your people in? We can only evaluate you for your actions. Make rational decisions. /slight-of-hand-or-muslim-band.html
Panellipi? Is it with two l's and two beautiful brown eyes? Penelope's not a real name she's a fairy tale with olive skin subject to racism the sweetest little voice "You have to write this story for me " but your beautiful Penelope like a double rainbow "You don't know" Penelope says what it’s like to have brown skin or this way that I talk. You are a humanitarian you must write this for me. How do I spell Panellipi ?
I'm a roofer Penelope Look at me i do have brown skin a poor person painted by the sun. Colored by labor I do know what it’s like to be looked down on. Even from a roof top when I shine up people still look down to extinguish my eminent glow

I know it's
plastic glass
but can it tear
a hole in my flesh
To get some reality check
some type of action
I could go for some
Drastic ass maneuver to ware
My scribbles are an antidote
Etched
in my perception of reality
making things foggy
about the internet? What do you know Paul Revere?
one if by land
two if by sea
3 if by internet
Impeding democracy
The Russians are coming
The Russians are coming
And sling out #Donald Trump
For everyone to see.
The Russians are coming
the Russians are coming
So are the Mexicans and Chinese
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
The water seas
weather you see
is up to you....
(It's not a message in a bottle drifting in on shore)
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 star 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 comet than a shooting star
I wonder how long it takes to forget
who you are?

I started a new construction job and I shared my book with a co worker...
he read out loud and I noticed he didn't read it like I wrote it. I went into my archive of videos.
this one from October that's my s-tenacious truck and my dog in the back ground...
We went out in the hay field and flew a kite today. I started crying thinking back to when I was young flying a kite with dad at aunt Roses house.
I remember dad sending mom to town after more string. We had the kite so high in the air it was just a dot. We tied it off to the hay bailer. I miss you Dad!
Water gets in the crack
Of a rock
Freezes
And breaks it apart
Erosion
Has nothing on you and me!
American African
Middle Eastern and
Chinese...
The millions of years
This planets seen
Dinosours
Storms
Unforseen things
Meteors and Global warming...
What's going on now
Has been predicted.
Erosion of all humanity
Why don't we look?
Why don't we see?
This place is beautiful
If we could just let it be!
It's on my bucket list of things I want to write about. I should't have any complaints I'm not in a third world country starving malnourished and thirsty. I'm not a child surrounded by gunfire hunkered down hiding hungry..... But I feel. I wish there were something I could do...For poor people
I
It's not wrong to need a purpose in life.
I live week to week roofing houses and I'm proud I can roof a house by myself.
