Futility, Truth: There's An App For That, and Tricksters

Futility

What haven't I tried?
Every attempt frivolous
Maybe this will work

Truth: There's An App For That 

  I think I know what you're thinking
  "How can an 'app' tell me the truth?"
  Why wouldn't that be what you're thinking?
  Truth has been sought for centuries
  Is my lover cheating on me?
6  Is kale really that good?
  And of course, where's god?
  Well my app will tell you all of that
  It will deny your perspective
  And all that you hold true
  Because you're a goddamn fool!
12 My application tells you all the universe beholds
  And why it is to be
  And how the truth is something most never see
  Download it now in the iTunes App Store and Google Play

Tricksters 

  You were going to govern?
  What a fool I have been
  I actually voted for your win
  Another lesson learned
  What you say and what you'll do
6  Will never be true


      I was trying to hold off and wait until I was done with my editing to announce the release of my book of short stories but on August 1st, 2014 I will be releasing, Bad Stories. My arrogance believed that I was the artist that could release something randomly and people will care (Kanye/Beyonce). As I have grown as a writer I have come to realize why most writers obtain the services of an editor. I'm editing my own work and it is a supreme struggle. It is so hard to step back and look at your work objectively, to observe the grammatical errors and rules that you want to break and most of all, not seem like an imbecile. It is difficult to not observe the plot or lack of plot and not change what I wrote, how I felt, what is.

     My second book of poetry, Universe Unravelling, is still coming but this is something I had to do first, something for me. I had to prove to myself that I could create and publish narratives, that I wasn't claiming the title of writer because I kept a journal.
