Small Things

What makes you happy? 
Free this 
Free that 
A cup of coffee 
And breathing, mostly

Survival Skills

Spent all year mastering Probability and Mathematical Statistics 
Teacher taught us how to paraphrase zealous emcees in Ebonics 
Asked a fellow classmate to define possibilities with a single word He began yelling binary numbers and gobbledygooks he overheard 

Ah! the junk we've been fed since kindergarten with passion 
Irate zombies really abhor debating on simple linear regression 
Wished we'd been told about ways to start a fire with sticks 
If we do survive, let’s learn more about fundamentalism in politics

Affection

Expressing fondness  
I'm known to be quick and short   
Thus, it seems like more

Drilling Misfortune

A year before the spill 
Banks called it progress 
Gift to the Community 
Trampoline the Economy 

Birds in algae won't stay still 
Dirty wings brushing recess 
Waxy aqua tastes funny 
All Them phone lines ring busy

Message from Davos

Blurred vision caused by disenchantment 
Equality and fairness ambitions are to blame 
Having trouble concentrating on reality? 
Drink a bowl of soma, enjoy your frenzy

Social Limbo

Took one step forward 
Felt rejected, unwelcomed 
Took a stride leftward 
Thought I'd trick humanness   
Fell heart first in Abaddon

Inconvenances

Passions éphémères 
Dévastation persistante  
Anxiété induite

Sweet Contradiction

People who ask for God's favor are called pious
Many patients of the mental ward received vocal answers
People who believe Science is the Only Truth
Never read the listed side effects of their problem solvers

Next Door

Trustworthy neighbors 
Unbeatable privilege
Rare is the sasquatch

Écoute

Les plaintes authentiques 
Fruits matures des âmes bilieuses 
Les ignorer vexe 

©Jajjazz 

Elegance

Simplification 
A tactful detour towards
Sophistication 

©Jajjazz 

Elation

The power of glee 
Sad memories abolished 
Pleasing arrhythmia 

©Jajjazz 

Thesis

Perception is key 
You can't teach physics to chimps 
A link went missing

Hardship

If eyes are windows 
Glass cleaners should be esteemed 
One day, grief will fade

Alien Fling

I told her breathing was mandatory on Earth 
She performed crypsis, chuckled and replied 
Love will suffice, you don't need to worry 

Heard she's now in the hands of the military 
Area 51, X miles from Carson City 
Can't camp around here, Mister Shiny Tear  
Love is a ploy, wake the hell up and move on 

Back on the dating scene, forthrightly insincere
No tails, no wings, a preference for internal brain   
Don't take it personal, I'm far from being austere
But hermaphrodites and wraiths, please refrain

Hard Headed Poet

Try to blend me in 
A taste of purgatory 
Giving up is wise 

©Jajjazz 

Shortfalls

Believing your lies 
Makes you part of the problem  
Try duping yourself 

©Jajjazz 

Maturity

Adult life syndrome 
Spend precious time with strangers 
Inhibit yourself 

©Jajjazz 

Drugs

Self-medication 
Quench your thirst for a rival 
Guaranteed damage 

©Jajjazz  

Inexorable

Everyone I love dearly will ultimately perish 
Everything I cherish bears an expiration date 
None of my happy memories can be cloned 
And my inescapable future is already known 
You ask me why I giggle when I feel forlorn     
The answer hides in the mind of the unborn

Temperament

Conflicting mood swings 
Diametrically opposed 
Prized feminine side 

©Jajjazz 

Amity Revisited

Lucky to have foes 
Gasoline for improvement 
Buddies can't smell flaws 

©Jajjazz 

Amity

Thank your enemies 
For shaking that confidence 
Friends think you're faultless 

©Jajjazz 

Claptrap

Bottled water sells   
Can't wait to see who owns air  
Bring your flags in space 

©Jajjazz 

Hypocrisy

Materialistic 
Legacies left for children 
Egotistical

A Life

Born a rebel in a rebellious family
Routine: crossed out from their dictionary  
Met a nice girl with pimples and one goal
Had to buy a ring and stop to rock and roll
Found a job copying copies of copied crap 
Dollar Store preservatives are such a trap 
Became bitter and hoped things would get better
Got old, got sick and intentionally demented
Tombstones vandalized, teens were apprehended 
Requiescat In Pace, doubters died of laughter

Identity

We were 12
They called us The Squad
We knew each other's names
We grew in numbers 
Many became strangers
Now that we're an army 
We've lost our identity

Judging Others

She wrote with her valves, a hole in her heart
Slowly trying to die from loneliness and fear
He drafted powerful poetry using his bowels
You could tell he was allergic, probably nuts 

Had to run away from them, cerebral impostor 
Call me a coward, then break another mirror

Keys

I found happiness 
Made a copy of the key
Hid it deep within

Poet's Block

Rhyming without joy
Sleeping on nails to fit in
Better pause and heal
