SOMETHING THAT JUST OCCURRED TO ME...TOOK ME AWHILE...HA HA

I KNOW I WROTE A SPACE INVADERS POEM A LONG TIME AGO DIFFERENT THAN THIS ONE BUT DON'T REMEMBER HOW IT WENT EXACTLY...I USED TO LOVE TO PLAY THAT VIDEO GAME. THEY HAD IT AT THE ESQUIRE MOVIE THEATER AND THE MANAGER USED TO GIVE US THE KEYS SO WE COULD PLAY FOR FREE IN BETWEEN SHOWS BREAKING...SO I WAS HOOKED ON IT FOR AWHILE...MY FRIEND TERRY LIKED PAC MAN SO WE WENT TO A VIDEO ARCADE AND SHE GOT ME HOOKED ON PAC MAN AND I GOT HER HOOKED ON SPACE INVADERS...ANYWAY LOVE THE GAME NOT THE REAL SPACE INVADERS...HA HA...YOU KNOW THE ONES...I AM SURE WE ALL COME ACROSS THOSE AT SOME POINT...MAYBE THEY BOTHER SOME MORE THAN OTHERS...

SOMETIMES YOU GOTTA DO

WHATEVER WORKS FOR YOU

DECIDED TO ADD THESE TWO LINES...

WATCHING SOMEBODY UP THERE LIKES ME AND ROCKY IS APPROACHED TO THROW A FIGHT CUZ SOMEONE WILL SPILL THAT HE WAS DISHONORABLY DISCHARGED FROM THE ARMY....SOMETHING THAT HAPPENED A LONG TIME AGO...HE HAS CHANGED HIS WAYS FOR THE BETTER NOW...HE IS WORRIED ABOUT WHAT OTHER PEOPLE THINK BUT MORE WORRIED ABOUT WHAT HE THINKS OF HIMSELF...ANYWAY IF HE CAVES AND THROWS IT WHAT WILL THEY THINK WHEN THEY FIND OUT AND HOW WILL HE FEEL ABOUT IT BUT MORE SO HOW WILL HE FEEL ABOUT IT...HE HAS TO LIVE WITH HIMSELF...THEY DON'T...HAVEN'T WATCHED THIS IN AWHILE SO NOT SURE WHICH WAY HE GOES WITH IT BUT AM HOPING HE DOESN'T CAVE CUZ IT IS MORE IMPORTANT HOW HE FEELS ABOUT HIMSELF THAN WHAT ANYBODY ELSE THINKS ABOUT HIM...SOMEBODY UP THERE LIKES ME IS A FILM THAT JAMES DEAN WAS SCHEDULED TO DO NEXT WHEN HE DIED...COINCIDENTALLY AN OLD FRIEND OF HIS LEW BRACKER WHO WROTE A BOOK ABOUT THEIR FRIENDSHIP CALLED JIMMY AND ME THAT IS ONE OF THOSE BOOKS I READ COVER TO COVER HARD TO PUT DOWN...THERE IS A KINDLE VERSION... I KEEP TRYING TO GET HIM TO DO AN AUDIOBOOK CUZ I THINK IT WOULD BE INTERESTING TO HEAR HIM TELL THE STORY...NO LUCK...PEOPLE ENJOY WHEN HE READS SMALL EXCERPTS FROM THE BOOK SO IMAGINE HIM TELLING THE WHOLE STORY THAT WAY...IT WOULD BE GREAT...ANYWAY...LEW POSTED ON FACEBOOK THAT I JUST SAW WITH BASICALLY THE SAME MESSAGE EVEN MORE CONCISE....THE ROAD IS FULL OF BACKSEAT DRIVERS. DRIVE YOUR OWN CAR...I LOVE THAT...

I STARTED OUT WITH THE FIRST TWO  LINES AND THEN WASN'T SURE WHERE I WANTED TO GO WITH THEM...ORIGINALLY WROTE RATHER HEAR YOUR  TWO CENTS THAN SILENCE AND CHANGED IT TO RATHER GIVE MY TWO CENTS THAN SILENCE TO AVOID CONFUSION OF SOMEONE THINKING  I MIGHT BE LOOKING FOR COMMENTS WHICH I AM NOT...I DISABLE COMMENTS CUZ  THERE WAS ONE WEIRD PERSON LEAVING WEIRD COMMENTS ON MY POETRY A LOT AND I WAS GETTING TIRED OF BEING BOTHERED TO GO AND DELETE THEM ALL THE TIME... I WAS WATCHING THIS IS  SPINAL TAP A ROCKUMENTARY MOCKUMENTARY WHEN THE FIRST TWO LINES CAME TO ME AND I HAD TO PAUSE IT AND THEN SIT A MINUTE TO TRY TO THINK WHAT I WANTED TO ADD TO IT...WHENEVER LINES POP INTO MY HEAD I HAVE TO STOP WHAT I AM DOING AND WRITE THEM DOWN FAST OR I LOSE THEM...THEY ARE FLEETING...YOU KNOW HOW THAT GOES...MOST OF THE TIME THEY JUST KEEP COMING BUT SOMETIMES I GET STUMPED A MINUTE...REGARDLESS USUALLY WRITTEN IN A MINUTE OR TWO...

SUCH IS THE SOUND OF SILENCE

MAY ALL BEINGS EVERYWHERE BE ENLIGHTENED THIS NEW YEAR. MAY THE TRUTH BE APPARENT TO EVERYONE. DO WHAT YOU CAN EVERY DAY TO RAISE YOUR VIBRATION AND IN THAT WAY YOU WILL AFFECT THE VIBRATION OF THE UNIVERSE FOR THE GREATER GOOD OF ALL. HOPEFULLY THE ONES DOING HARM WILL  REALIZE THE ERROR OF THEIR WAYS AND BECOME HARMLESS AND WE CAN AND WILL HAVE HEAVEN ON EARTH...PEACE AND GOOD WILL TO ALL LIVING BEINGS. GOD BLESS US ALL.

PROPAGANDA FEARS THE TRUTH SO SPREAD IT FAR AND WIDE TO POINT OUT ALL THEIR LIES....IF THEY SILENCE YOU KNOW YOU SPEAK THE TRUTH...IT IS SO RIDICULOUS THEY CALL THE TRUTH MISINFORMATION AND THEY CALL THEIR MISINFORMATION THE TRUTH...CRAZY MIXED UP WORLD WE LIVE IN...LET'S STRAIGHTEN IT OUT. THERE ARE MORE OF US THAN THEM...DO WHATEVER YOU CAN TO HELP YOUR FELLOW MAN.

JUST THINKING ABOUT WHAT GREAT COMPANIONS PETS ARE...EACH LINE HAS SIX SYLLABLES BUT NONE OF THEM RHYME SO NOT MY USUAL STYLE...AND A BIT LONGER THAN USUAL...BE KIND TO ANIMALS. I FIND THEM TO BE GREAT COMPANIONS...
