Don't look at me with disappointment.

For Lavina K. and Sarah w. They make me feel world is in good hands.

                         Don't look at me with disappointment.

Don't look at me.
Don't give me those sad looks of disappointment.
I don't care what you see.

I'm breaking down walls.
I'm not afraid.
Like you, a robot.
Walking the walk of a machine.

All you got is death to wish for.
For your simple dreams and goals will break your heart.

I will laugh.
I did not believe in the rules of the government.
I saw the signs of failure.
I question the  policies and rules.

Give me the morning sunrise.
Time to dance and sing.
Allow the powerful ocean to wash away the dirty rules.
Give me time to find calm and friendship.

I don't want your dirty dreams.
I don't want to hear your lies.
There are too many people already waiting for death.

I want life.
I want to swim in the big ocean storms.
Free climb to high peaks and give thanks to Nature.
I want to feel every pleasure that can be felt.

Give me sweet wine and good beer.
Sweet ladies to dance with and find laughter.
Give me time to appreciate Nature.

I won't allow you to punish me for seeking a different way then you.

I will watch your sad faces.
As I run down the empty beaches.
Looking for peace and calm in this world.
Eating life like a hungry child.

Life is to be lived.
Not hide behind rules and laws that will blind you from the beauty
of a new day.

Run with the wind. Dance with the sea. Celebrate every second of life.

The old hippie, evolutionary in me gets up and applauds..
I've been howling a tune like this for years...those living in little boxes made of ticky tacky will not know what you are speaking about, but I do, and so do many others, most of whom seem to be poets or poetry lovers.

A powerful chant on the simulataneous joy and struggle of being de-programmed in a world of the once human automatons who have sold their souls to live up to the standards of a system that is just using them. Relaxingly simple yet thought provoking, your style kind of reminds me of Bukowski in his softer and more reflective moments. 100/100 and this is going into my favorites.

[Randolf Ramos]

Truly, life never cease to open its vastness of beauty and everything. We should seek to know what in the world we are in, humans are prone to frailty yet we are capable of many impossible things.

Ah! Aye! So beautifully inspirational poem! Coyote Poet, your each line is loveable :)

So much hope, the poem inspires me so much...

"I want life.
I want to swim in the big ocean storms.
Free climb to high peaks and give thanks to Nature.
I want to feel every pleasure that can be felt."

"Give me sweet wine and good beer.
Sweet ladies to dance with and find laughter.
Give me time to appreciate Nature."

And the best and the gist of everything that makes life beautiful!
"Run with the wind. Dance with the sea. Celebrate every second of life."
