 Like A Rebel Without A Cause


Here, like an 'every night' 

Tuesday

(I created Tuesday Zachary!)

Sipping souls and spirits

Like a rebel without a cause

or a cause without a rebellion


Drearily I write this and

Hear how stupid it is starting

to sound...like a high school

diary entry diarrhea of the mind and pen.


I had a point to to all this...stuff.

I wanted to say something

prophetic, egalitarian and emphatic of times today

But I'm stifled to the point of regression


I have to parcel my thoughts from now to 

whatever tomorrow is expecting of me

And what I have as an expectation of myself. 

Sometime 'today' and or tomorrow...we'll see.

On Good & Nice



On Good & Nice
By: Husam (Sam) Salman

It’s funny some people think
Of themselves as good
When all the while all they
Really are is nice.
Distinguish the difference.
Nice is smiling at a stranger,
Good is helping your
neighbor with her groceries.
Nice is saying thank you
for a lovely dinner,
Good is helping
with the dishes.
Nice is having a party,
Good is being gracious
To new friends and guests.
Nice is being friendly to
Likeminded people,
Good is being friendly
To people whose
opinions oppose your own.
(I need to learn this one
More
with Trump in the race)
Nice is being Facebook
‘Friends’,
Good is talking to those
People around the world.
Be good to one another.

Warm Death



Warm Death
By: Husam (Sam) Salman

Hoping for a warm death
Someone by your side
When you die.
Life happens
Shit happens
Not the way you
Pictured.
Alone now
It’s been years
Giving up seems
Normal?
Willing to settle
For a warm slut
instead?

iOblation

By: Husam (Sam) Salman

If there ever was
A morning that
I arose and thought
‘Everything is fine’,
Has not been my
Reality for several
Years, like God
Or karma had it
In form me
For the shit I’ve talked
In this life time or
The last.
But overall I should
Be happy that I
Have the ability
To live unlike others
And should be thankful
For the gifts,
Blessings and allowances –
Even when they
Are unavailable. 
I know what heartbreak
Feels like, but my pains
And struggles are not as
Tragic as some.
For those thoughts,
I feel better about
Myself but silently
Pray for God to
Be with us all,
And feel the sadness
The world shares.
