Audience
I reserve the right
To wrestle with my
Cranberry and Vodka
On a 6 hour flight
To nowhere
In fact,
I seldom use air
As a method of transportation.
Not for fear or
Lack of elation.
It’s just arrogant
Remember Icarus
and how he soared
above us all?
Well,
I don’t mind feeling
So small.
It’s a mechanism I use
When facing skepticism;
Shrinking to...

Revelations: Genesis
The Only reason Adam ate an apple, Is because he really loved the act of receiving an apple from Eve. He loved her and admired her. The only reason Eve gave Adam an apple is because she loved him. She sacrificed herself for him. There was no sin committed it was an act of love.

amodernmanifesto:
That Cuba has already developed four vaccines or inoculations against different types of cancer is without doubt important news for humanity. The World Health Organisation says each year about 8 million people die from this illness.
However, the international mainstream media have almost totally ignored this news.
Last year, Cuba patented the first therapeutic vaccine against...

Just About a Minute Ago
I’ve imagined your smile
A thousand times
This
Is my heartbeat
Sometimes
It stops.
Consider me a moment,
Consider me in the morning.
I’ve scribed
All things fleeting
In permanent marker;
This is how my daydreams work
Give all to paper
Nothing belongs
But you
Are here,
And so
Am I

The House Where We Grew Up
We dreamed of
Sand castle catacombs
In rolling hills as green as
The paper,
We’ve put all our hope into
The unnatural.
There are spirits in this valley,
We used to play on the tire swing,
Soft faced saviours running barefoot through the infinite yonder.
To exist is not to live
And then,
We were alive.
Chasing fireflies and finger painting and playing on...

City of Angels II
for Sarah
Mountain top angel
Sorry for slouching
I know how improper etiquette
Sends you into a frenzy.
Don’t forget to wipe your nose
Before dinner.
Your weathered face
Reminds me of the daydream
I had years ago.
The bend of the highways,
Infinite and
Closer to god
Than I ever wanted to be.
See,
I still believed then.
Two weeks in,
The soft winds greet me...

Real Shit
Life’s a bitch
And then you die
That’s why we get high
Real shit
The tree burns infinite
I’m just here
I swear
Til this day,
This very moment,
I still don’t know how
It happened
On the same block
Marvin Gaye was assassinated
Real shit.
The sun god giveth
Yet,
Chicago still
Holds my heart heavy
Real shit.
Let
Go
There is beauty...

In a Heartbeat
(Painting credit goes to the artist whose name I never got while in a bar in San Antonio during a layover)
When you refused to travel
To see me
My last night in town
And I
Didn’t even put up a fight,
That was the very moment
I knew
We
Would have to
Go through Life
Without eachother
anerrorhasoccurred asked: hey! are u from London? Coz I will go on March and I haven't got idea where can I go for partying or shopping! D: Thanx! hahaha xx

Dakarai Molokomme, a 15-year-old starving child from a small village in Zimbabwe, has just told Madonna, one of the most famous pop stars in the world, to go and f*** herself, the local media are reporting exclusively.
“Yes, it’s true, I told Madonna to go f*** herself. Do you want to know why?” Dakarai asked. “It’s the same thing every time with these snobby rich...

I am not here to feel comfortable
I’m here to save the world
However,
There is a distinct difference
Between feeling alone
And
Actually being a foreigner
I am alien to them
Alas,
I am the maniac

Open Up
I’ve decided to go down to the shore
Write down stuff,
Empty myself
Of the heartache
And of the pain that comes along with breathing,
Take in the mountains
Become one with the ocean,
The birds and the stars
Get accustomed to the sand in my shoes
And a new set of problems that
Vary by region
I miss you,
I’m going back home to the west coast.
I wish you...

Hey guys, I made finally made it to L.A
At I’m Venace Beach now. You know you’re in L.A when you pay damn near 10 bucks for Mexican bread and some Coconut juice. It’s beautiful here man. A few obstacles already but I was in the city for no more than four hours before I got smoked out. City of Angels man.

Nothing prolific to say here-Goodbye Chicago
I’m kind of hungover so my words kind of suck. I’ll say something awesome next time. Pinky promise. Anyways, time to leave for real this time. Chicago, it’s been grand. California, let me learn from you. Let me love. Let me be fearless. I look forward to talking to each and every one of you all that support me and my dreams. Look forward to letter writing and a magazine(in...

One love

Overkill
Maybe we don’t die together.
For the life of me,
I can not recall what inspired these
Kamikaze hearts.
We become our deepest fears
Sleepless;
Beers and other crutches to get us through the evening.
She passed the bar
But lost my heart somewhere underneath the paperwork,
I am still here.
In my last days,
She is nowhere to be found
And
I am restless
Wrestling...

Someone Other than Myself
A fear of structure
I toss in my sleep
Dreaming of the fairytale love affairs
I lust the fresh air
But
I am sure to find smog.
City of angels,
Sweet mother of god,
Be kind to a stranger
I am just passing through this
Human experience

I'm going to California in 8 days and
I’m starting a stamp collection. I will write you if you can spare some stamps :)
I have no phone.
Just a tent, duffle bag and a Nikon.
Oh, and a backpack full of dreams.
I’m an activist, Good Samaritan, actor, writer, and rescue dog adoption route enthusiast. See you along the way! Carpe diem

Systematic Devolution
During the Atlantic slave trade, Europeans would give disputing African countries guns and reap the benefits(prisoners of war who were sold into slavery). Today “they” give us guns, alcohol and drugs and in return, we fill their prisons(profitable institution) and we offer cheap labor for their billion dollar corporations. How much has changed?

An Interesting Affair
So we get to the bottom of the bottle
and there are little messages swirling,
like capsized sailors,
reading
“will you remember me in the morning?”
And she says
“Ashes to ashes. What we’ve done is in the past.”
Nothing lasts
Except the infinite now
I am time traveling
Through the cosmos again
Looking for the bird I’ve become
Broken wing, rainy day and on the pretty girl...
