I never take on anything that is just for the money or just for, you know. I always have to connect with it in a very personal way because I believe the audience will sense whether I'm into it or not, so I don't take on projects that I'm not really passionate about.

The Internet is like alcohol in some sense. It accentuates what you would do anyway. If you want to be a loner, you can be more alone. If you want to connect, it makes it easier to connect.

money makes sense
sometimes we make sense with what makes sense
money money money
makes this spin a little faster
we want to make more
and then we see what we do not want to see
gnarled conscience
whorled integrity
shrinking soul
lost self.
money money money
makes my world dimmer
makes us happy somehow

Power And Money
A bad habit they form as a young girl or boy
To have power over others some people enjoy
With personal power some are not satisfied
Their desire for top job they don't try for to hide
They need more than personal power to be seen to succeed
It is all about money and all about greed
One might say they do have big egos to feed
The more money they have the more they seem to need
Power and money are siblings it does seem that way
And money speaks every language some are known to say
The non greedy and non power hungry people one has to admire
The lust for large sums of money or power over others they never desire
They are not the type for to put others down
Or wish to be known as the best in the town.

Eight senses
(poetry in progress)
the world starts out
with a consciousness
half a consciousness
then one consciousness
then they morph with one sense,
ask the mountain
they stand and stand until the
volcanoes start to throw them out
then two senses, ask the trees
and the shrubs criss crossing
with your paths in the field
they stand and stand, take
the sunshine and make green
a colour for continuous evolution
their only shortcoming is their
two sense world, they stand and stand
a state of being, a state of living
and that's all
the three senses, the four senses
and the five senses, the human beings
they cry to God to let them
have eternal life
but what ever that's for
without the sixth, seventh, or eight sense
unveiled to them
sixth, the sense to connect the past
with the future
the seventh, the sense to connect
the future with the million of consciousness
clarmouring for the eight senses
to be with the ultimate, the Om,
the Divine where all senses
come together with one Supreme
consciousnes, amalgamation of
senses where knowledge springs forth

I'm not subject to their rise and fall because I'm not accepted by them, so I have my own little curve going on. A lot of it is because of how much I play, I think I connect like when all you had was Vaudeville, I think I have an audience by performing a lot!

Never use the word 'audience.' The very idea of a public, unless the poet is writing for money, seems wrong to me. Poets don't have an 'audience'. They're talking to a single person all the time.

Flavor That Is Savored
Being able to connect,
To the reading audience.
Makes one poet...
More appreciated than the next!
A consciousness has been affected.
An expectation achieved...
That feeds an anticipation one gets!
If one poet is obsessed,
With maidens on islands with white alabaster skin.
Or Vikings from the old country,
Pursuing Cyclops with Zeus...
Chatting with Sophocles sipping on gin.
Well...
The writer may be thrilled,
Getting goosebumps and chills from the aspect of it.
However...
The reader of such a description,
May not 'get' the meaning of what the poem depicts.
And may not care if the poet was a college graduate...
With certificates from Harvard or Yale.
If what is written does not connect,
To an emotion or a collective imagination...
One poet with college degrees,
May not be as popular
As another who has an appetite to write.
And may sleep on a ghetto street at night.
It is much like cooking!
Writing is.
Some love to do it.
While others who 'say' they can cook...
Should be ushered from the kitchen!
Quality is not determined by the schooling of it.
Nor is common sense something that can be taught.
It is like one's taste.
If the flavor is savored...
The only ones finding disapproval,
Are the ones discussing the ingredients used.
And ultimately looking like fools...
As they are surrounded by those licking off their plates!

Money money
Is going to get me a girl
Money money
I am going to use it to buy me a cup of coffee
Money money
Is going to take me to Paris
Money money
Is going to buy me some new clothes
Money money
I am going to use it to do my laundry
Momey money
Is going to buy me some groceries
Money money
Is going to pay to fix my house
Money money
Is going to send me to the rich men's world
Money money is going to buy me a cellular phone

Although Every Penny From Them Is Squeezed
Money is no object,
When trillions of it is spent...
On worthless wars.
And dead end scientific projects.
But used to benefit its citizens...
Money then becomes an issue.
And not enough of it seems to be there,
To address human needs.
Although every penny from them is squeezed,
To solicit a fear that is fed and marketed to sell.
