Weary

a poem to everyone who made it to 2017

Weary

My soul grows weary in times like these;

turmoil tornadoes through cities,

debris piles up in hearts,

where hope dodges the bullets.

These heartless assassins seek control

through depression,

economic and of liberty.

Chokeholds, they reaching for our souls.

How foolish these demons are to believe

they are anything but human;

linked in

and if we go down they too will be sinking.

Can’t cut these umbilical ropes;

the ties that bind,

like yo-yo string; they fling themselves out

only to

rewind back to center again.

It’s simple Orwellian processes;

a cycle that the masses always

win.

The pig’s fall prey to self assassin,

cutting off the blood flow of their power;

the respect of

the people.

So my soul grows weary and these teary eyes

can’t count the blood stains;

they all smeared into a massive Red Sea,

salted by our sweat and screams.

My soul is heavy

cause these young ones facing this upon entry here

but I”m lifted

knowing the victory

has always been ours

since the Earth was begun.

It is but hours

til their reign be done.

No Sex And Upstate New York

A modern-day reincarnation of Carrie Bradshaw's classic column

Around the age of 12, when I was deciding whether or not to be gay, Satan appeared on my left shoulder. “Ramsssey,” he said with that telltale lisp. “Come over to our side. We have crazy partiessss.” He made a strong case, bouncing up and down on my shoulder with six-pack abs and form-fitting Calvin Kleins. An angel popped up on the other shoulder and was going to warn me about something, but Satan interrupted- “Shut up, you crusty-ass bitch!’ The angel was pretty crusty. She disappeared, and from that moment forward I was gay.

Senior Year Is Here And I Am So Not Ready For It

I was you not that long ago. I was once an eager freshman, a searching sophomore, and a know-it-all junior. Now? Now I am a risk taker. Not the type that gets you in trouble with your parents, but the type that changes your future. Senior year is exciting. A lot of awesome things come along with being the top-dog of the school, but you, right now, are building the foundation for the next 4 years that you will spend in high school. I know you've heard it all. "Get involved", "You'll regret not going to prom", "You're going to miss this". As redundant as these seem, they're true. Although I am just at the beginning of my senior year, I am realizing how many lasts I am encountering.

Why Driving Drives Me Crazy

the highways are home

2247

With Halloween quickly approaching, I have been talking to coworkers about what scares us. There are always the obvious things like clowns, spiders, heights, etc. But me? There are a number things I don't like: trusting strangers, being yelled at, being in life or death situations, parallel parking. All of these are included when you get behind the wheel of a car.
