    They never saw me coming,
    but I'll make sure they grieve,
    when I leave.

    I write simple rhymes, but Rudy takes it beyond the next level to the stratosphere. How I wish I could enlist him in the fight to end animal abuse. Perhaps if I watch him enough, some of his magic will rub off on me, I sincerely hope so 😎.
    ♫ Rudy's on a train to my brain,
    half way down the line.
    I know he's gonna get there,
    but it needs time ♫

    This beautiful poem has it all !
    Humour with a deep deep message
    Rhyming rhythm give it music and groove
    It would be good to see it written on the page - to see the shapes of the words
    Writing done this well has a tingle factor
    It makes you feel physically good !
    I wish I could write this well !

    Rifle II is that poem. I read, I cried. I screamed the name of one of my students who I hope will someday realize his body and mind don't have to be a weapon even though he's be victimized. I showed it to all my colleagues who work with him. And I prayed that someday it would sink in when I shared it with that boy.

    I wanna write a poem.
    But I want it to say what you’re thinking. I wanna patch up the holes when your boat starts sinking. I wanna write that “one of a kind” poem, that “free your mind” poem, that “I like how you made that rhyme” poem, that “I like that last line” poem, that “Can I hear that one more time? (That is, if you don’t mind.)” poem. I wanna write that “So heartfelt, I think I know him” poem, that “This is so tight! I gotta go find all my friends so I can show them” poem.
    I wanna write about everything that I’ve ever wanted to be. I wanna write a poem so beautiful that my parents might actually start to agree. I wanna write about you, about me, about us, about everything from cars-and-trains-to-riding-the-bus-to-the-trailer-and-trust-the-mistakes-and-heartaches. I wanna talk about when I first learned to drive and I was so scared to let my foot off of the brake.
    I wanna talk about battles, about wars, about victories and losses, about ethnic cleansing, genocide, and laws penetrated by burning crosses that burnt down churches. I wanna write two poems for every one who has ever been told they were worthless. I want my metaphors and similes to part oceans, rivers, and seas. I wanna write love poems so sweet that the ink on the paper attracts honeybees.
    I wanna speak the unspoken. I wanna face everything in our world that’s broken. I wanna be the one that performs the Heimlich maneuver as soon as our society starts choking.
    I want my words of inspiration to inspire somebody else to be inspirational. I want the motivation in my voice to motivate somebody else to be motivational.
    I want my phrases to be published, documented, and quoted. I want people to recite my work ten years from now and have critics say “That was cool, but it wasn’t nearly as good as when he first wrote it.” I want husbands to thank my poems for the heart that they stole.
    And I know that this, is just some shameless attempt to petrify my soul but honestly - I don’t want to be forgotten.
    I don’t need fame. I don’t need fortune. I just want people to know what I stood for and why I came. I refuse to die a mere occupant of the Earth, a John Doe, yet another faceless man out there with no name.
    I refuse to be just some other man.
    I wanna walk for centuries, and leave my footprints in the sand for the world to see. I wanna be cremated into ashes of rhymes and poetry. I’m just feeling like one day, they’re gonna love me. I don’t share my emotions too often. Poetry will allow me to die with my heart on my sleeve. They never saw me coming, but I’ll make sure they grieve.
    When I leave.

    I never experienced the loyalty, generosity, and honesty of Rachel, Hannah, or Esther.
    I experienced yours, whom nobody can surpass, subdue, and substitute evermore.
    Nonetheless, I won't love you anymore and won't keep the stint with you.
    That's because I will surrender to my fate, accept the truth, and leave the world for good.
    I won't hang out with you as I have another life to lead, and of course, I'll be alone.
    I won’t feel the tenderness of your hug or listen to the sound of your breath.
    Never, ever will I dance with you in front of a huge crowd at a lavish party.
    No romantic conversation between us will take place in person or on social media.
    That’s because I have to spend time with people from another planet, getting out of your sight.
