Inside a big dome...
A speaker, facing a large group of people, spoke about "life." The audience was pleased and clapped so loud. One visitor just walked in and asked, "Is this heaven???!!! It's too hot in here and very dark too. I can hear and feel voices and spirits, but I can't see you all..."
The speaker heard the visitor asking and said, "You are in the wrong place dude!"
(Dreaming is the extension of human thinking, but not all dreams match/picture one's thinking.)
What am I doing here again?
I promised I would be gone,
But the muscle fibres beat and pull me back.
It will soon come upon,
So all I can do is lay on track,
and your forlorn look will break my heart.
Tough enough to not look for a fight,
no choice but to watch as it rages;
A candle burns on a starless night;
Hit only if someone engages,
attention is never what mattered;
They stay away from well lit stages;
Lingering on the brink of captured
by the snakes in the orchestra pits;
General admission is favored;
That dazzling shadow of the misfits,
cannot be copied by counterfeits.
I see the trees the trees
Speak to me
In siloquiscent tremblings
Of shaking branches
And falling leaves
So quiet and tense
A psychadelic panacea
Of hallucinegitic properties
At night I lay beneath
The dark star filled
Skies the moon
My beacon the
North Star my compass
And I dream of a
Less complicated
Existence where the
Air is clean the
Water is not polluted
And cancer is just a
Six letter word
Preferably never
Staged or written
Anubis, his decision, who has admission
mummification array, slows rot and decay
(if it’s)
Love me …
hate my writing
(or)
Hate me …
love my writing
I can live with the hate
(Rosemont College: March, 2023)
The couch grass has withered
for winters change
I make no apology
Milkwood so loftily summoned
As I venture forth
A prompt remainder
into the celestial wilderness
Time is running out
The lunar moon indicates
Even the sky can be shrouded
through the thin line
what price to enter paradise?
just become a willing device
to extinguish non-believers
and other common deceivers
making this world so much more safe
when dangerous demons are quaffed
an extremely small price to pay
for our deity to hold sway
simply the cost of admission
for sins placed into remission
doing such necessary things
will make you an angel with wings
what price the entrance to paradise?
simply follow the ancient advice
comprehend what the holy words mean
not being for one instant unclean
there will be a harem or three
where all services are for free
no sins in pleasures of the flesh
all things there have been pre-blessed
beyond any real feelings
or the slavery of needings
no sweat, no fear, no need to hurry
the richest of realms, not to worry
watch miracles come into play
you shall know real bliss, they say
surely you don't want to delay
heaven and all that comes with it
really no need to fidget
do not be a heathen idjit
may we issue your ticket today?
minds alike lack truths
hearts involved can’t be trusted
open up your arms
give praise to Jesus
the author of holy grace
give Him your purpose

SENRYU
ADDITION ADMISSION OF LOVE
He was honest
For within his heart, soul and mind he trusted
her name was Beautiful
He was honest
as he stared through her window eyes
loves passions cries
He was honest
For within his heart, soul and mind he trusted

Triolet
Merging the trinity
By: Erastus “Popyeny” Shipuleni
@December 2020
Not always do I get what I want,
Neither does my request materialise as requested,
Nor desire implemented as desired.
Do I know why these occur?
Cause of denial,
Over power by pride &
Refusal for admission.
Road to fruitful life.
Admit the creator,
Merge the trinity, (Mind, soul & body),
Self-acceptance, forgiveness & release.
Be present & act.
Accept & be as created.
Manage within my reach.
They wanted the best for their children,
hovering through the toddler years,
giving them what they wanted,
giving more to avoid any tears.
When their kids became teens, they wanted fame,
building an image for their now empty life,
devoid of moral direction and sense of duty,
leading to personal crises and strife.
The university published standards,
too high so they decided to cheat.
They paid a fixer to get their child in,
using money as a bribe to be discreet.
But the scam was discovered, made public
and the greedy parents, now distressed,
listened to lawyers and admitted wrongdoing
and standing before cameras, adroitly confessed.
I'm sad for the children of these parents,
underachievers and misguided, for sure.
Unprepared for an independent future,
with no inner peace and morally immature.
If you are wrong, yet,
should I give my consent, then,
we may both be wrong.

Glinting of the nickel
Flip it, place it on the table
Relegate to gravity
That of fate- of destiny
In the end
It's a choice
To accept
Or avoid
After the flip,
Do you obey it
Pull back the hammer
To strike the steel with flint
It's still a choice
Drop hands from wheel, place them by your side
Watch the blurring treeline, shifting away my eyes
I've certainly lied
Proxies for good faith
I've blurred those lines
It's still a choice
R-egards to the Dean
O-f Student Admission;
M-arch twelfth Sunday breaks,
U-nder the burning beacon.
A-llow the education to teach,
L-eading one toward wisdom;
D-eny not the glorious bliss
O-f the Almighty's kingdom.
A-s a disciplined man,
L-ove of God really matters;
C-onducting a divine duty
A-t the INC School For Ministers.
N-oble task he faithfully fulfills
T-o help the Church Administration;
A-crostic wishes are penned,
R-egards to the Dean of Student
A-dmission.
