Playdough by Justin “neo” Shockley


I don’t know the beginning, middle or end
all I know is that I have a toothache and im in pain
it hurts and I want deliverance
is this the correct occurrence?
I pull out a ball of play dough from my pocket and the telephone rings
the voice tells me the play dough is me
the voice proceeds to tell me how to shape it
I do it
when im done it’s a scarecrow with a hat and scores for eyebrows
the weird thing is the scarecrow has a smile
the voice tells me everything in your life leaves a mark
everything in your life shapes your dough
be careful how you let those things shape your play dough he says to me
he hangs up and leaves me wondering
and im left with some things in my hand:

a smile
a bit more understanding
pain
fear
and a lump of dough

Dream is Destiny by Justin "neo" Shockley

Dream is destiny


if a dream fades away did it ever exist?
Does my perception determine my reality?
My hope waits in heaven on a pirch
it’s a bird flying in the heavens waiting for me to grow wings
“wake up dreamer” he said “fly with me to heaven”
I took one step and my legs grew
100 feet they stretched straight up into the air
but that’s not all. My arms grew wide as I reached for that bird
he was fast but my determination was faster.
And just as I was reachin’ a lantern burned bright within me
there was a man inside me and he said
“hope deferred doesn’t mean a dream dies. But it does mean a part of you doesn’t stay alive.”
“My hope is like a small seed waiting for water. Waiting to be recognized. All this time I waited for you I waited for you to realize.”
And just then I grew wings and I flew with that bird. I think it was a dove
a dove that made me alive.
You see hope lost wont make a dream not alive
it just waits to be recognized.

Bad Luck By Justin "Neo" Shockley



I dont know what else to do

I've run as hard as i can

ive brushed my teeth and

i even say "win" in my head 20 times a day

how can i try so hard and still be disgraced in the eyes of men

i have a bad luck reputation so why not hang my head and cry?

will i ever be like them?

will i ever be thier champion?

im pulling double tailwhips in my head

landing every one

not even a hint of bad luck

im holding years of broken mirrors and dead black cats in my hands

in the eyes of all im lost

in the eyes of all im a failure

in my room alone it seems like im the only one who sees me win...

im the only one who sees my bad luck streak end



HEY PRAY FOR MY DAD.... HE WAS HOSPITALIZED BRIEFLY BUT HE SEEMS OK NOW.

ALSO PRAY FOR DEREK AND HIS DAD.. AND THE REST OF HIS FAMILY... THEY ARE IN THE MIDST OF LEGAL TROUBLES ... ITS WORSE THAN IT SOUNDS TRUST ME... JAIL COULD BE INVOLVED

ALSO PRAY FOR BRIT... SHE HAD ALERGIC REACTIONS TO MOSQUITOS

PRAY FOR MIKES BACK

PRAY THAT IM ABLE TO SEE MY FRIEND SAMS WEDDING IN FARGO THIS SEPT... I HAVE NO MONEY SO ITS GOING TO BE GOD THAT GETS ME THERE...

Track Kept Behind

THIS ALLEGORICAL POEM CAN BE APPLIED TO ANY AREA OF OUR LIVES... I THINK ONE THAT STANDS OUT IN MY MIND IS HOW WE OFTEN TAKE OUR DESIRES AND TRY AND USE THAT IN PLACE OF GODS WILL... WHEN GOD NEVER SAID TO GO THERE OR DO THE THING THAT WE DESIRED...






The Amazing Bending Woman

by Justin "neo" Shockley



I look at her and imagine her stretching herself 50 ft long

my imagination perplexes

interlocking her image into mine

as soon as I see her I know that I can make herself

my own

why? because she is the amazing --bending -- woman

first we'll go out for drinks at the local pub

then we'll get serious , fall in love

she'll light my desire and nurture my interests in her arms

she'll love my hairy arms and toes

they'll be no obstacle to what she'll give....

then all at once I’m disillusioned

I walk very slowly as if I’m sipping Frappuchino imported from France

she speaks and I ask her to stretch

she obliges... and pulls a muscle

so much for the amazing bending woman

Pirate’s Prayer by Justin “neo” Shockley

This is my prayer to you God

I pray that you stop the oil wars

exterminate the famines and stop the slave labor

End the war on the poor Lord!

Now I lay me down to sleep stop the S.O.A! (They’ve got to go)

Jesus do something about globalization the IMF and the evictions in Africa

Lord even Matthew would spit on the world bank.... maybe you could start a

flood and make sure all the worlds money was in the ginormous puddle

that would end the debt of third world nations and it would keep the covenant right?

Wait .....Lord I care but im broken inside

could you also take care of me

I care... but im broken inside

I know I need you... more than I need my life

I know I love you.... more than I love my own life

to see with your eyes is like having the solution to an 8 million box cross word puzzle

zig zag complete

.... im hurting inside Lord

the void that makes up my so called life has a big space called everything

and I need you to fill it

im desperate inside Lord

feed the children but don’t forget me Lord

This is my talk to you Lord

hear my talk to you Lord

Thank you

I hear you

Thank you

Hallelujah Adonai

Amen
