constant clambering

life seemingly   ~   without fail
throws out challenges
those trials and tribulations
of which set before
the human being
plenty of obstacles
as if holding forth a chance
for choice    ~   whether to
keep ascending
or give up through descent
sort of like a climber
going up the rock’s face
hopefully    ~   by way of effort
and much sweat
becoming uplifted
through the process of elation
when reaching the summit
forthwith    ~   filled
with remembrance
for the lessons learned
along the whole length
of the rugged journey
as well as with
that ability
yes    ~
that capability of
being able to overcome
~ ~
apparently    ~   within
the joy of exploit
the human psyche
is refreshed
~ ~
without a doubt
these struggles
may make each day
appear at times
as some rocky slope
of which if given into
can taunt and then subdue
the mood of the human spirit
pushing it close to the edge
to the very point of peaking
upon the precipice
bringing on this frantic scuttle
groping to hold on
out of desperation
~ ~
at that instance
not unlike the role of the dice
within the game of chance
there is the opportunity for
taking that gamble
~  ~
right before
the long   ~
long  plunge
into those murky waters
filled with despair
~ ~
that decision
not to dwell    ~    only
on the looming
all consuming sorrow
associated with peril
yet  too   ~
somehow feel
this ray of light
amidst the toil
and then   ~   willingly
giving this luminous beacon
a little while
to illuminate upon
the face of the soul
to afford the spirit
a gleam of hope
~ ~
therefore   ~
if for nothing else
but the motive
to cling to the wish
of some  reversal
in fate
as to the spin
within the wheel of fortune
inspiring some kind of attempt
no matter if deemed as feasible
or not   ~   to clean away
the film
spreading
ever so quickly
over the eyes
with the sole purpose
to cloud them over
with a drossy glum
~ ~
however   ~
if so given a fair try
could ignite a spark   ~   a twinkle
within the window
to the soul
energizing the mind and body
with a  rejuvenating spirit
that thusly instills
a fresh
and more optimistic outlook
on the seemingly
not so safe    ~   predicament
~ ~
wherefore   ~
maybe   ~
fracturing enough of
the apparently insurmountable
activities of being
making it all seem
as if that slope
or continuous incline
upon the path of life
to be not so formidable
so as to rise above it
and to then move past
this juncture    ~   up
that constant clambering
familiar to the human existence

peace out

I’m a thinking man ~

some say they are a manly man
and others say they are    ~
more the feminine man
physically
and genetically
as it affects disposition
that is all cool and such
maybe    ~
due to my
empathic sensitivity
I’m somewhere
in between……..
with that left brain
right brain thing
me   ~
I’ve never
ever
felt comfortable within my skin
being as the alien in Men in Black
tryin’
to get used to
this invaded body
of the human-kind
it’s more about the inside for me
being the internal being   ~
with feelings and felts
intuitively intermingled
with thought
where my shell
its sexual preference
has less meaning
than the worth
of my mind’s process
supercharged
with the experience of living
no matter if    ~
you get
my fuckin’ drift
or not
I’m a thinking man   ~
who
perceives and feels
physical reality   ~   intuitively
and emotively around him

peace out

ain’t got nuttin’

if you’ve got a point
and ain’t got nuttin’
to back it up
no sound resolution
for what you’ve critiqued
you will more than likely
be just blowin’
hot air in the wind
with a fate
of spiraling endlessly
in the ether forever
~   did you ever think
your motives
would be questioned
your lack of reasoning
baseless of fact
would suffer challenge …..
the test of validity
your ability to perceive
a matter correctly
free from
mere subjectivity
having the balance
of objectivity
without the bias
of inhibitions
conjured up
from demons dwelling
in the dark  ~  deep mist
filled with emotion  ~
where some day
you would hurt someone
with your unfounded
accusations
a person with a record
of integrity
who would defend
their honor to the death
and say  ~  ‘fuck you’
to your heartless ways
without thought as to how
what you say and do
will affect another human
~   he’ll accept you
for who you are
despite all
of your misery and pain
but never forgive
your unkind deeds
and henceforth
never allow you
to further diminish
the rest of his days

peace out

Words by   ~Keith Alan Hamilton~

an illusion can’t love me

within my delusion
lives love
beyond known imagination
blinded by the majesty of it all
reality had slipped far away
forging on
although   ~
comprehension gone
dreams were created
rude the awakening
suddenly   ~
expectation quickly dissolved
……….  in fallacy ignorance reigns
~    perhaps
an illusion can’t love me

peace out

tyrannical servant

I’m told    ~   day after day
I must do this or that
it’s the law
’cause you’re  ‘the man’
the government
the appointed
representative
of the people
~    whatever
I’m a law abiding citizen
but don’t ever   ~
fuckin’ ever
stop me
from
speaking
my voice
writing my words
or take away my right
to share my opinion
‘cause if you do
I’ll fight with every    ~
yes   ~   every
ounce of my spirit
to topple
your sorry
ass down
like the walls
of Jericho
I’ll spit in your eye
utterly and rebelliously
defy your despotism
and rally the oppressed
encourage
an uprising
until you and your horde
have fled from the land
and ain’t no more

~    power to the people
our voice must be heard
remain free
so the tyrannical servant
the man   ~   the government
remains our representative   ~
not our boss

peace out

Words by   ~Keith Alan Hamilton~

“The tyrannical servant fears my free voice more than any weapon conjured by humanity; ‘cause to the tyrannical servant, my free voice is an effectually dangerous weapon for defying and foiling the power of despotism.”

Saying by   ~Keith Alan Hamilton~

shit happens

why should I write words   ~
words full of feelings
and concern
having this wanting
to inspire change
for the better
and not just for me
but everyone else
~    how dare I think
how presumptuous
and foolish
some may say
shit always stays the same
whatever   ~    I say
if I did not speak   ~   write words
just stand mute   ~   why yes
shit will certainly stay shit
however    ~
if I plead my case
lay it out there to be heard
you never know   ~   shit happens

peace out

Words by   ~Keith Alan Hamilton~

patience and tolerance

never been a follower  ~  more the doer type
doin’ for others and myself…..   I’ve taken the lead
stepped up to the plate  ~  laid down the bunt
when necessary and even would give …..
the ultimate sacrifice  ~  if I choose to do so
far from perfect I am
many the mistake I’ve made
not looking for a pat on the back
I just want the freedom to be me
do my thing……  my way
before God  ~  Nature and Humanity
of course
I live
cooperatively
with others
they don’t have to believe
the way I do
~   and yet
will they let me  ~  be tolerant of me
without me having to suffer
commendation or retaliation
in the streets or in the halls of silence
if not……  I refuse to follow their way
stay true to myself  ~  be the doer  ~  take the lead
through acceptance  ~  not agreement
I’ll exhibit patience and tolerance for them

peace out
