Has anybody really ever talked to God?
I'm having my breakfast for supper
someone decided that I was a sinner
and their solution is to put
their basket in front of me.

Have you been through the desert on a tank with no name?
Her thought was that killing people somewhere else
is better than having no job at home.
I think that wars are not, mostly, fought for "freedom,"
but so that capitalists can make more capital.
Csn a peace symbol, and a flower, stand up to a tank?
Does any of this matter to you as long as it is happening
over there and not where you are?
Is everybody your brother, and sister?
Should I put jelly on my peanut butter sandwich?

About an hour ago near Atlanta...
Mikel K Poet: I don't understand why Occupy Atlanta is occupying a public park when Coke and Bank of America have such large front yards in which to pitch tents.
Nancy J Howard, Dale Stahl, Melissa A. Holbrooks and 5 others like this.
Brittany Rae: Agreed.
Trish Thompson: Coke and Bank of America can have them arrested immediately.
Mikel K Poet: Many of them claim that they want to be arrested, anyway; why not do it where it might send a true message, instead of in a place where they displace the homeless, and cost the taxpayers they claim to represent money in increased cops, and port o johns, and cleanup fees. Corporate Amerika is going to cede nothing to people hanging out in a public park. Gosh, I need to take a chill pill!!
Melissa A. Holbrooks Preach It Rev!!!
A loud helicopter circled over our heads, as the dogs, and I, walked tonight. The helicopter killed the tranquility of our walk. For a moment, I thought that maybe a vicious killer had escaped from prison, and was waiting in the bushes to kill me and my dogs. When I got home, I read an article about Occupy Atlanta, and it turns out that the helicopter was hovering over them, who are not that far from us.

I am so blind today. It is nice to, finally, have eyeglasses, but they feel weird on me.
I had two spare keys made for my front door, and neither one of them worked, so I put them on my desk until I could return to The Key Store. Today, I noticed that one of the keys was gone. I searched under my desk, even routing through the trash can that sits under my desk, but no key. I must make sure that it is not in the trash, I thought to myself, so I brought the small trash can outside to the large trash can that sits by the street, and I started throwing things out from the little trash can to the large trash can, and there at the bottom of the little trash can was my key.

28 minutes ago near Atlanta:
Fiction: Alcohol was not his problem; crack was, so he saw nothing wrong with getting drunk every day as long as he stayed away from The Crack Pipe.
Val King: Sounds like a completely rationally ridiculously alcoholic internal cluster f of a reason to me!
Mikel K Poet: Val, people do the strangest things: in this world for real, and in the world of fiction!
Val King: Oh I know sweets, I know. I've actually had friends say this exact same thing to me except insert coke for crack in there & it's almost verbatim. Ridiculous....
Mikel K Poet: The guy who founded AA wound up doing LSD.
Val King: Shut the front door! "I don't drink anymore - I just TRIP BALLS all day!" Bwahahahahaha! You have to be shizzing me!
Mikel K Poet: Nope.
Mikel K Poet: From Wikipedia: AA cofounder Bill Wilson's lifelong sobriety began December 11, 1934. Wilson suffered from episodes of depression, the most serious of these between 1944 and 1955. In 1955 Wilson turned over control of AA to a board of trustees. Wilson experimented with other possible cures for alcoholism including LSD,[2] niacin (vitamin B3) and parapsychology as a means of inducing spiritual change.
Val King: So...what were his findings on the effectiveness of tripping balls instead of drinking?
Mikel K Poet: I've never heard the result of that!

I don't need an expert like you around, when I've got Google,
but thanks, friend, for trying to point out, in publc, all
the things that I don't know; make me an ass on my own page,
why don't you.
My dog Morrison doesn't cry out for food; he doesn't cry out for walks, or treats; he cries out for Love.

#5 When the going gets weird
Where do you hide the bills that you can't pay
feeling too sick inside to tell the children
that you haven't got much more money in the bank
than an alcoholic living on the streets has
in his smelly pockets?
It's quarter to three pm on a Monday,
and it still feels like morning to me.
A simple thing just spoke to me, and made me smile.
It is a simple thing, but there can be greater joy
in the simple than the complex.
Has anybody really ever talked to God?
If you don't like a law, should you break it?
Is this proper fathering method: If you mess with me,
you will not eat your jelly, you will sit in it?
"Things which matter most should never be at the mercy of things which matter least."--Goethe
I love The Mr. Smarty Pants, the men who have read a book, or two, more than me, and you, and think that they can tell us all what to do; I really do, but I don't have to love them on this page, or even be in their presence to love them; I can love them from a distance, where their insults, and alleged superiority can not touch me.
Bring new things to our bed, baby.
What's happening? Are you napping?
I don't know what's on your mind, but I do know what is on my mind;
and what's on my mind could take hours, days, weeks, months, years,
a lifetime to complete.
Why would a teacher make you write
with your right hand when you were born a lefty?
A sore throat, and an ear ache, are fighting to find their way into my existence.
I am doing everything that I can think of to defend myself against them. Any suggestions?
Do you know that you can core an onion, fill it full of Chunky Peanut Butter, bake it at 325, for an hour, and you will have...a wonderful treat!! (Thanks Merritt).
What is a Woman Worth? I got an email that wanted me to read an article with this title: "What is a Woman Worth?" The title took be aback a bit. I have never thought of a woman in terms of a dollar amount.
I just heard my first lousy Tom Petty song: it is called. "Girl on LSD."
Mikel K Poet John Marsh, singer and keyboard player for the great great band
Deep Blue Sun just turned me onto the fact that Dylan wrote
the song, "My Back Pages," not The Byrds.
"Half-wracked prejudice leaped forth
“Rip down all hate,” I screamed
Lies that life is black and white
Spoke from my skull. I dreamed
Romantic facts of musketeers
Foundationed deep, somehow
Ah, but I was so much older then
I’m younger than that now."
--Bob Dylan

Alcohol was not his problem; crack was, so he saw nothing wrong with getting drunk every day as long as he stayed away from The Crack Pipe.
There is nothing wrong with being almost middle-aged and blonde. Some of the hottest, and most decent, women on the planet are just that. There is beauty, and love, at each stage of this life, as we go.
I'm not on the same path as you, sister and brother, though ostensibly we have the same destination in mind.
There is nothing but time on my side.
She was born on December 26. Her dad made it clear early in life that she wasn't going to two presents. A lot of Christmases and birthdays she got nothing.
I'm in the mood for desert, something large and creamy, and chocolate-y; something topped with peanut butter ice cream; something to die for cuz I just might eating that way because I'm a diabetic, and sugar can kill me.
Back at FSU, in the fraternity house, we used to call this guy Sniff, because no matter what room someone was getting high in, he would knock on the door, and say, "Hey, got any pot?"
"It is from numberless diverse acts of courage and belief that human history is shaped. Each time a man stands up for an ideal, or acts to improve the lot of others, or strikes out against injustice, he sends forth a tiny ripple of hope."

Sue Nash says that well wishes and cards for the Iraqi vet seriously injured by Oakland police last night, as he was participating in Occupy Oakland, can be sent to:
USMC Scott Olsen Highland Hospital 1411 East 31st Street Oakland, CA 94602
Liane Tebbutt All the good medicinal healing herbs will get you jail time..just another way to keep the population sick and addicted to pharmaceuticals. It's all about money.
I like listening to The Jerry Garcia Band, Phish, Widespread Panic...the "hippy" bands but I also like Black Flag, Fear, Social Distortion, and many other punk bands. Does that make me bi-sexual, or bi-polar?

#4 When the going gets weird: I'm a bum.
I can't believe that I haven't been discovered yet!
Satan sips from the same fast food sodas as you,
if he sips from any sodas at all.
I'm a bum. My father said that I would be a bum. He started telling me that at a very young age.
I don't know how he knew it. He also said that I would never own a pot to piss in. He was
right, the only pots that I need are a couple in the kitchen to cook my own food on. He also said to me that, "Only one in a million make it at that game; and I don't think that you have it in you," after I had told him that I wanted to be a writer. My father has been dead for quite awhile now, but I send a shout out to his grave to tell him that he was wrong!!!
---------------------------------------------------
"We are tired of your abuse; try to stop us it's no use."--Black Flag
"Her stomach makes noises whenever we kiss."--Variation on a John Prine theme
Writer interviewed on CNN: " We don't have to marry like we once had to. I am glad that I never married the wrong man, because a lot of that happens."
----------------------------------------------------
Geez. SingleMingle.com, a Christian dating service, claims that they can find you, "the match that God intended for you." Got to love, err suspect, a group claiming that they can invoke Divine Intervention once they have your credit card.
Nancy J Howard: There are many organizations like that.
Bill Burke: Even God prefers people with money.
Mikel K Poet Yes, Bill; if you have nice clothes, and a nice car, or two, and several houses with pools, and you live them with The Church, when you die, you will certainly rise above.
----------------------------------------
I believe that a victory is something
that makes me smile, and doesn't necessarily
have to make someone frown.
----------------------------------------
The quality of the English tea time tea that I make fluctuates. Sometimes I put too much milk in it; sometimes, I make it too hot, but I just made a perfect cup of tea, and I am going to enjoy a chocolate peanut butter ice cream bar with it. Sometimes, life is just so darn easy!
When I was a kid, I used to watch The Ranger Andy Show. I watched it all
the time, and then decided that I wanted to be on it. It was a local show,
and Ranger Andy was the nicest guy that I had ever met. When I went down
to the show and met him, he was mean to me. That really surprised me. To
this day I think that Ranger Andy was an asshole.
---------------------------------
I detest Ted Nugent, I can't stand Kiss, and I HATE Led Zepplin.
"Six Pack," "Wasted," and "Nervous Breakdown," are some great songs with fantastic titles; doncha think? Yeah Black Flag.

She was really weird about sex. At least, she was very weird
about sex with me. She was into it, at first, or so she seemed.
Maybe I'm a lousy lay, or maybe I was a lousy lay for her.
Different girls want, and expect, different things. One girl
might like getting spanked, and another girl might say,
"Don't hit me," when you try to land your hand on her butt.
I don't care how my fingernails look, but some women do.

I'm so much a part of
the machine
that I will probably
never revolt against anything

my steak cooked incorrectly.

She's got a book. One hundred pages of it are about sex: how to; a wide number of different positions; cautions. She says that I already know all of it, but she is going to read it and come well-prepared to serve me.
"We are doing the pants-less dance right now."--a guy named Cost Cutter
And now...after Black Flag...a little Steve Perry lead Journey.
I jumped off the roof, today
and learned that I could fly.
---------------------------------------
I just came up with a concept that could help The Poor: Nude Poverty. We could start with a calendar of naked homeless people. Do you think that it would sell? If it did, we could give the profits to The Poor. Republicans often say that the poor are lazy. Here is a way that they could work for their supper. I bet that a calendar full of naked homeless folk would please The Republicans.
The new day has arrived: 12:32 am. Yes, it is here. Try to get as much happiness out of it as possible. I will "see" you tomorrow(which is today). Good Night. God Bless. Sweet Dreams.
Dear God: Thanks for making this a pleasurable day!

When the going gets weird #3
Do you know where your Revolution is today?
Poet Mikel K tells it like it is; or at least how K sees it.
I see nothing. I say nothing. I know nothing.
My beard has gotten long enough where I can swallow it, just like I sometimes do my hair.
"Well-said, Mikel. Poignant and to-the-point, yet kind.--Lisa Nanette Allender
Allegra Bailey: "Lol...your words eternal lmao...not u passing....roflmao."
The milk man had something attached to his telephone, and we were all able to pay by credit card. It made me think that I hadn't seen a Cadillac with a Dead Head Sticker in a long while. The times they were certainly, uh, changing.
My dog, Morrison is a consistent mooch, hovering about the kitchen whenever I am in there, acting aloof, like he is near the refrigerator for love, and not scraps pf food.
------------------------------------
Look for Mikel K's Flick, "More Hair," on Mikel K Poet's You Tube Channel.

Also Check Out Sly and The Family Stone at Woodstock.
He wants to take you higher, though now he lives in a van.

Axl will never capture The Greatness of His Youth. Can you blame him for trying? I think that sometimes it is best to retire Ahead Of The Game! Here he is, as a kid, performing the song,
"November Rain," with The Real Guns N Roses, and Elton John. (Hey, didn't this performance ocurr
around the time that Axl was accused of not speaking nicely of Gay People?

There is this really cool bug crawling on my desk.
It's 2 a.m. I used to be lonely at this time of day, or drunk.
I have a friend in jail; it's really a bummer.
If I had a spare three grand I'd get him out.
I would have to lecture him a bit, though,
once I did; I'd have to tell him that he hasn't grown,
that he is still doing the same shit that he did
as a kid when I met him. I thought the behavior
was exciting then. I'm old now; I think differently.
Some of us are much better off with the bottle laid down.
I'm listening to Bob Dylan sing "Hurricane." Did Rueben Carter get out of jail, and if he did, how did the rest of his life turn out? Are you a leader or a bum? In 18 years, I will be as old as my father was when he had the heart attack that killed him. Will I live that long? Is Rueben still alive? Did Bob Dylan's song help spring him, if indeed he got sprung? There is Google. There is no excuse for ever again not knowing something. You can look up anything on Google. My computer is a competitor to Google, sometimes. It keeps me on Bing. Fuck Bing; I like Google.
From what I can tell, The Koch Brothers have a lot to do with this drive to eliminate The Middle Class, make us all poor, take away any benefits that the poor get now, and completely destitute us all. What are they; Fascist Nazis?

What's the solution to war?
What's the solution to war?
We should send old men and old women
to war, let them kill themselves off
in the name of bigger cars and better
air-conditioning.
Let the congressmen and the kings,
the presidents and the heads of state
pull out guns and knives and battle
to the death.
Why should my son or daughter fight
for you, you fucking cowards, you killers,
you creeps.
You hide behind your hallow halls,
you hide behind your laws that money buys.
I want you out in the open
looking down the barrel of a gun,
see what my son would see,
before he pulled the trigger,
a man just like himself,
scared just like himself,
put there just like himself
by a man like you.
The blood that spills
the guts that pour
should be yours, Mr. President.
The guts that pour,
the blood that spills
should be yours, Speaker of the House.
The brains that splat,
the guts that pour,
the blood that spills
should be yours, Senator.
Teenagers should not be killing teenagers,
they should be studying math.
or tearing down an engine,
or hitchhiking through Europe.
War is not a game of chess.

The revolution will not be televised
at a five star restaurant
I'm so much a part of
the machine
that I will probably
never revolt against anything
more than the waiter who brings me
my steak cooked incorrectly.

I must end the paragraph that I am working on now; for my pillow calls to me.
Good Night. I Love You. Sweet Dreams.
Do you know where your Revolution is today?
Poet Mikel K tells it like it is; or at least how K sees it.
I see nothing. I say nothing. I know nothing.
My beard has gotten long enough where I can swallow it, just like I sometimes do my hair.

The milk man had something attached to his telephone, and we were all able to pay by credit card. It made me think that I hadn't seen a Cadillac with a Dead Head Sticker in a long while. The times they were certainly, uh, changing.
My dog, Morrison is a consistent mooch, hovering about the kitchen whenever I am in there, acting aloof, like he is near the refrigerator for love, and not scraps pf food.

Look for Mikel K's Flick, "More Hair," on Mikel K Poet's You Tube Channel.

Axl will never capture The Greatness of His Youth. Can you blame him for trying? I think that sometimes it is best to retire Ahead Of The Game! Here he is, as a kid, performing the song,
"November Rain," with The Real Guns N Roses, and Elton John. (Hey, didn't this performance ocurr
around the time that Axl was accused of not speaking nicely of Gay People?

When The Going Gets Weird #2
The secret is to look like Halloween when it is Christmas.
The whole world needs to stick its finger down its throat and purge from its old way of existence. It'll be just like starting over," John Lennon might have said.
"When you got nothing, you got nothing to lose."--Bob Dylan, who, now, has a lot to lose.
Look At The Bums
Look at the bums,
here another one comes;
last week, maybe he had
a job in a factory,
but they downsized.
CEO got a bonus
for thinking that way;
everybody, especially
the stockholders, thinks
that he s a great man
eats off a ten thousand dollar plate
at the White House,
shakes the right hands.
Here comes a bum,
got a tear in his eye,
I immediately criticize,
say that he is a crack addict
who will want a quarter
from me.
He asks for money for food.
Why don t you get a job?
Why don t you get a job,
like me?
See,
you and me
we're living in the land
of opportunity.
Oh no,
I just lost my job.
The world owes me nothing because I'm here.(I really have to keep reminding myself of this, over and over. I love to sit on my pity pot). When you laugh, the world laughs with you; when you cry, you are fucking crying alone.
I often walk about the city attached to dogs in one hand, and a bag of shit in the other.
Let's pretend that Lawrence Ferlinghetti is a liar
Let's pretend that we don t have a soul,
that we don t know what s going on,
that as long as we keep paying the mortgage
that everything will be o.k.
Let's pretend that Lawrence Ferlinghetti is a liar,
and that people with millions, and billions of dollars
will act in our childrens' best interest.
See my child.
See him grow.
I don't want him to go to war.
No, no, no.
Let's pretend that if we close our eyes,
they won t cheat us blind,
that after all this time of screwing us
that they will now suddenly play fair.
Let's pretend that if it s happening over there,
it can t happen here.
Let's pretend that the religious man on the t.v.
doesn't just want our dollars,
and that politicians are not sleeping
with the chairmen of the board
Let's pretend that ketchup is a vegetable,
and that the homeless person is happy
living on the street.
Let's pretend that we don't need clean sea water,
and that it's o.k. that our rivers are polluted, too.
Let's pretend that three corporations owning
all the news outlets is the best way
to disseminate information.
Let's pretend that there really is a Santa Claus,
and that he will tell us what to do.
Everything might be better if I knew how to play the guitar.
I think that "A Revolution," has to target specific things; like my electric bill is way too fucking high, and Ga. Power probably makes a fuck load of money, so they should be attacked peacefully, and made to make less like so many other monopolies, or at least be made to make my bill way less. A bunch of burnouts, and malcontents gathering in parks across the country is going to do nothing, if The Revolution is generic. Getting arrested does nothing to set anyone free. Have there been any major changes to our way of life since The Protests began?
