Some poetry

I found some poetry I wrote a long ass time ago. I will share some because some of them are pretty wild. I have no idea what this was about and I can't believe I wrote it. It is TOTALLY NOT my style. I think I wrote it in '97. A junior or senior in high school.

"The Covetousness Bigotry"

This courtly ray in lovely light,
it tumbled out of night.
With visions branded so clear
and neither decides to which he is near.

the ringing in his ears,
"So go!" says he, says he,
and spells his heart out to plea
"I shine as gold, and I am not worthy of me."
They spoke no sound, his words alone
as he was overthrown
"May God be sanctified in me."

So shall the allegory begin,
beneath our unconditioned skin
among the wise,
and so we fail to recognize
let it seethe into us well,
rust in blankly written burning spell
and may you trample over daisies
as we live and learn and die.

"Amongst my nectars, I was born to be the first.
So say I was cursed, you Thumbelina mime," says she.
"As long as starlight twinkles three,
Let my heaven carry me,
and thus I say...
such manly a galaxy shall sweep me away."
Woe,
lest not be conveyed,
and never yet dismayed.
To such a ponder, cold predestiny awakens
and sleeps, this guile taken,
and weeps, never to be born.

And about face,
we strove yonder The Hill
with every moment can she fill...

"Oh, flesh,
On what have I no dynamo to rest?"
The woman's wings cross her chest,

"For what I see, can I throw aside,
this chauvenist, my bride!
And alone, the reckless pain,
shall I rest her soul in vain?" he spake,
and lest, his earth did shake.
"But mercy me!
Not am I for a dream!
And this love bouts my heart to burst
as I lay sick and submersed;
a hungry child at best,
for she, and all the rest,
I soon for the self-loving hand of I,
shall surrender.
And for her vain prosperity Lord,
she hast thrown aboard,
I too, for she,
shall surrender..."

So uhhh....... does anyone know what the hell this poem is about?????!!!

Feel free to steal my idea.

I love finding jobs for people. I love to do it in my spare time. I love to ask everyone what they want to do in their lives and try to help them find the avenues to get there. I love helping them fix up a kick ass resume and cover letter, helping them find the best places to look for jobs, doing research about the best ways for applicants to apply, and the strongest things to say in interviews. I love researching all that and helping people with all that. I believe EVERYONE can do what they love in life, and there is a way for everyone. It is not always easy, and it is DEFINITELY not always fast. Even if you are the smartest and awesomest person in the world.

I would love to start an organization for people in need of job hunting assistance. This program would promote 3 things:

1. Discouraging dependence on government funding, both in business and at home (welfare).
2. Encouraging self sufficiency through utilization of one's personal skills and talents.
3. Providing education, coaching and assistance to job seekers free of charge.

The way this would work is, job seekers join the organization for free. The organization is run by 100% volunteers. Not one single person gets a salary. Any expenses the organization needs in order to run adequately is funded by the sales of products and services created/provided by the job seekers who join. So, say Andy was just laid off from his job where he worked for 20 years. He has one work related skill - boxing TV sets. He has no idea how to find a job or even attemp to try finding one. He needs help. He also needs some income in the meantime. So Andy joins the organization free of charge. But there is a catch - Andy must provide some product or service that can be sold through the organization. Andy has always enjoyed carving wooden knives. So he provides this. Whenever someone buys one of Andy's hand-carved wooden knives, the revenue is split 50/50 between Andy and the organization. That way he can make some extra cash, and pay his way for the service and assistance he is getting in finding a new job. There are several members. Lisa makes her famous homemade banana pecan muffins. Sally gives haircuts. Jake designs websites. This would encourage people to focus on their skills and strengths and stay positive. I think it would be cool. So if you are going to steal this idea from me, please just tell me where to go to volunteer.
