I'm always trolling for trivia.

Why is it trivia? People call it trivia because they know nothing and they are embarrassed about it.

Insane But Glad
Yesterday I went to the mountains
And yelled up high with all my migth
Came down trolling and falling
And saw a man with a co at his right
My face grew bright
I yelled up again with all my might
In his ears! Did he hear?
Man, he got mad
Like me, happy and sad
Insane but glad!
Walking, running and trolling
I reached a place where
Once my father lived who
Brought me up with love and care
I went where wrestlers could be traced
Tough uninvited, I went there
And slaped the chef guest
With my hand on his lips
I knew I'd get punches and kicks
Man, he got mad
Like me, happy and sad
Insane but glad
I was thrown in a prison
The locked me up for a while
He he! The don't know that
That won't take away my smile
Well, I am a guy
Who has never gone sad
I don't know why
May be because I'm little mad
I am not happy nor sad
I am insane but glad

Seduced By Trivia
It is easier to take a taste that is sweetened.
Once seduced by trivia it becomes a wasted effort,
To reduce it to just a meaningless hype.
After it has blown to grow in significance,
To entice one's appetite.
Since a trivia introduced to praise delusion,
Feeds less on truth.
Until truth itself becomes viewed as ineffective.
And those most affected become conditioned to suspect,
Every aspect of truth with a wish to dissect it.
With a recruiting of those who have chosen to disrespect,
The presence of truth's existence...
To ensure none of it is left to have influence,
On anyone believing to be truthful is best.
It is easier to take a taste that is sweetened.
Until truth itself becomes viewed as ineffective.

Trivia Questions
Before you
there was nothing
and after
you, there will be nothing.
I've always told you, young lad,
how you remind me
of Lord Krishna.
As you bathe in the light of
nuclear holocaust,
your outstretched arms transform
into IV hangers.
The softest, most tranquil
valium
runs laps through
my nervous system.
Oh how the rays of misty light
look beautiful
on your expressionless forehead.
I just want to kiss them off.
Remember that one time we argued
because I wouldn't
follow
your advice?
I'm sorry. Please forget about it?
It was trivial. It was all trivial.
Trivia questions:
Who was the 9th president?
What is the 14th ammendment?
Who was Eva Braun?
In what year
did the poet
Carl Adam Ingwell die?
What were his major accomplishments?
Trivia.
All that matters right now
is that nothing matters.
But doesn't that mean that something
matters?
Let's just dance, you and I,
shoeless
upon these clouds of death.
One of my great passions is the collection of historical trivia.

In absence of clearly defined goals, we become strangely loyal to performing daily acts of trivia.
In wilderness I sense the miracle of life, and behind it our scientific accomplishments fade to trivia.

The best thing about lying in bed late is that you learn to distinguish between first things and trivia, for whatever presses on you has to prove its importance before it makes you move.

From Zero To Ten
Be you the one,
To rate anything done...
From zero to ten,
Nothing will change...
The dilemma we're in.
Those of minds closed,
And focused upon trivia deeds...
Only express their limitedness,
With a digging of their own holes...
To prioritize their insecurities.

My reading is extremely eclectic. Lately I've been teaching myself computer graphics, so I'm reading a lot about that. I read books of trivia, of facts.

Removed But Not Destroyed (Poetfreak Site)
Lost poems are like children
Missing from parents
Birth from thought but then
Deleted by evil agents.
Perhaps the trolling people here
Who think they enjoy destroying
Our work, to no longer appear -
Will find their pranks... backfiring.
Evil has a way of self-destruction
Like rust it eats up the person inside
And a lack of peace gains intrusion
Into the heart, no matter what they hide.

Lead yourself, lead your superiors, lead your peers, and free your people to do the same. All else is trivia.
Excuses, excuses...
It's a situation
all too familiar:
sitting at this keyboard
getting sillier and sillier,
descending from Olympus
to a hell of trivia,
fingers wildly itching
for some inspiration,
tapping out some pointless words
in conceited desperation
so I hope you'll weakly smile
and charitably say
'oh it's just a poet who won't shut up
having a bad day'...

Awaken with par pain
i pull off each of my vocal
to hinder this pain of betrayal
each nerve to surrender in quest
of this crackling pain, the deepest
hundreds of colors embrace me
now and then to swallow this pain
my eyes closed in this melody
of pain blooming a lie 'i'm alone'
life is so remorse in this pain
flying away with the heart of theology
a creeper of sorrow tightening
to stay in every minute fighting
singing out songs of silence
in confusions devoid of cheese
trolling prior to pain in a race,
i forgot to mention sweetness next to pain! !

The Searched Soul
When I consider, pro and con,
What things my love is built upon --
A curly mouth; a sinewed wrist;
A questioning brow; a pretty twist
Of words as old and tried as sin;
A pointed ear; a cloven chin;
Long, tapered limbs; and slanted eyes
Not cold nor kind nor darkly wise --
When so I ponder, here apart,
What shallow boons suffice my heart,
What dust-bound trivia capture me,
I marvel at my normalcy.

The world so caved
The world so caved
In time so caved
Down in trivia perpetuation
As though the heart is a rusty place for the nostril pant
To ashes be embraced hue of innocent age
For the death of crow the guiltless embrace
Many in throng trembles down the stares of liberation
On high way of victory
A facade of infant desire
Blazing within reach
Yet extinguished with smoke
An obligation for fangle generation

Out To Eliminate Frivolous Trivia
Taking time for the ridiculous,
No longer crosses my mind.
I'm out to weed these days.
Out to eliminate frivolous trivia.
I've donate enough of my mind to those times.
And participated with the deliverance,
Of my own foolishness.
And I don't intend to do that for the rest of my life.
Stuck in cemented buckets,
May be those tools by a mason...
Forgetting to use bricks to lay.
And I recognize needless nonsense delays.
May I use your hatchet, please?
Some heads are about to roll!

Trivia and Those Tripping Over It
I'm not one to trip over anything to keep it repeated.
Some trip and want it to be revisited.
As if in the doing,
A remembering of it...
Satisfies a preoccupation of a score to settle.
While basking in the glow of immaturity.
And self inflicting wounds...
Usually occurs between kids bumping into each other,
While at play.
To consciously do it to oneself is not mentally healthy.
Especially if some of those playmates have aged,
With the leaving behind of trivia and those tripping over it...
To explore a more broadened aspect of a life,
Rapidly in change mode.
