The White Privilege

By Kenneth Lynch

TO THE HAPPY PEOPLE

Would you be happy
if I closed my eyes
and pretended to not be me

would you be happy
if I spent my life
hiding my disfigurement and disease

would you be happy
if I was just like you
living without a clue

would you be happy
if I spent each day laughing
when a child some where bleeds
and needs to be held

will you be happy today
well I don't think it'll be okay
there will be no reprieve
or escape from your shame
when you hear them speak my name

you can turn from me
and ignore my approach
but you have no where to go
someday you will be forced
to travel the course
of course you can always
close your own eyes

denying my pain
until the day you die
but for you I will

My body the machine

My body is a grand computer operated machine and like any machine it often needs maintenance. The maintenance in this instance happens to do with the database. The database is what stores everything possible in my life, my memories, my writing, friends/foes/lovers, and any question I have ever sought to answer philosophical or otherwise. I spent many years compiling and organizing this data but it has grown exponentially and changed in ways that I am not yet even aware of. As the database has grown I have began creating index of commonly used data, often referring to the indexes rather than the database itself for quick recall of previously stored data. Now, as I go back and verify that information in the indexes and compare it to the database I am finding discrepancies, holes and misleading information. So now I must go through the process of rebuilding these indexes and reconnecting them to the database to verify that the data they are pulling up is accurate. I will also be dropping any information that is no longer useful and deleting those index entries. This will no doubt disrupt my entire life and turn everything upside down but it must be done

NEW GAME

You know me

the mad mind killer

car stealer, drug dealer

destroyer of all sanity

Manson ain't got shit on me

Born enraged

refusing to be enslaved

my momma couldn't handle me

so they locked me in a cage

for far too many days

Fully justified rage now

I never liked her anyhow

I have awoken

the dawning of a new day

sworn to make
