never is absolute
and always
the discovery process
objectionable but uncontested
justified prejudice
stayed within jurisdiction
but not one single peer in the twelve
politicized tribulations and trials
to preside over paradise
limiting liberties for advantages
profiling the races
stopped and frisked
deliberations of life and death
balance is inescapable
no congress paid more than minimum wage
it's not so easy living this cheap
police overload and co-conspirators
there is war in the streets
there is war on the poor
there is war on we the people
the real problem is this
the massive consensus
the system is fixed to be broken
to keep us distracted
to keep us divided
to keep us just happy enough
but lacking contentment
embattled with neighbors over property lines
spending time and money
biting bullets
ignoring crossed lines behind
the intentions of the second amendment
and the implications of its irrelevance
in this modern epoch and age
never is absolute and always

Getting Serious About Comedy (Part I)
If I were asked to remark on my life and the childhood that paved some road leading me to this point, I would have to say something about all the funny people who surrounded me for the last 26,872 days (and counting). Somewhere along that road, I became a big fan of laughter and the comedy that spawns it – and, I mean not only my own laughter, but the laughter of others, some of which I have actually been responsible for inducing.

Raw and relentless. It reads like the heartbeat of frustration in a world that keeps shifting under your feet. Never forget your voice matters, even when the system whispers it’s powerless. Speak anyway. ✨
