Unbalanced Dudes

By George Cantaffa

Welcome to my book, Unbalanced Dudes. I hope you enjoy my writings and drawings as much as I do. I write to escape and to take the reader on a journey. I hope my writings and drawings take you away and spark your mind to something interesting, new, and riveting. To take you away to places and trigger feelings you never felt before. The abstract faces create a different boundary of visuals unlike anything anyone has seen before. A new Idea. A new concept in literary combined with compelling artistry of the twenty-first century. This book will elate you and give you hope and let you know you are not alone. This book shares emotions that exist in all of us. I am truly grateful to be able to share my book with the world. This book is my dream come true. I hope my writings--some sad, some dark--will influence all your senses to feel something intuitive and positive. Enjoy the experience. A different take each and every new look. A true revelation of its own kind. Destined awakenings.

Tragedy

To my brilliant son Rocco, to my awesome and loving family, and to my father, a great man, whose wisdom I will always live by.

Left Out

You’re off on your own

You want everyone to leave you alone.

You don’t smile or even answer the phone,

You’re caught in a fixed syndrome.

Paralyzed by the pressure

Showing no emotion, you’re lost in a dream.

Feeling no affection, you can’t find the right direction

You’re still suffering from the injection.

Poor, rich

He got caught in a ditch.

Between him and his sister, she was the bitch.

In the woods, the boys would meet

and make the switch.

No deals with dad

Just as long as he had a bag, he would be high

Until the day he would die.

The day has come, another father has lost his son.

To the evil of the juice,

Look what the needle has done

The kid was only twenty-one.

Visitor

No one can bother me,

How far can you see

With your eyes closed?

Open your mind,

Don’t be left behind.

In a world,

It’s no wonder

Everyone’s def and just getting dumber.

Hungry for food,

Living in the nude

Didn’t mean to intrude

But you called me.

Freedom

I’m gonna play in the sun

Stay out and have some fun.

Don’t need you

When I’m on the run.

Can’t believe that I got stung

By you.

When you said we were through,

The day has come

There’s nothing I could do.

So

I’m gonna play in the sun,

Stay out, and have some fun.
