Affecting Poems

She came out of the east affecting the worlds largest regime
Soon becoming a giant beast as things aren’t always as they seem
Reaching from one nation to another from town to small town
And soon begins to smoother as Covid 19 bears...Read More

From China, Covid-19 its name, 

Travelled west, and here it came. 

Affecting many, making them ill. 

It’s one purpose, seeming to kill. 

 

Coughing, spreading, without knowing. 

Events cancelled, no movies showing. 

Calls for calm, as it takes its toll,...Read More

Corona 
Coronavirus that is 
A illness that is spreading 
Nation wide around the globe 
It's affecting our world badly 
No places to go schools closed 
People can't afford to be around each other 
Afraid of what they may contract 
Let's...Read More

Just in case you wondered...

Yours truly, (i.e. I) quickly
became hypnagogic afore
subsequently segueing soundly
into autohypnosis booklore,
while binge reading courtesy

regarding aptitude chore
treasure trove books galore
five dollars as many
paginated fictitious stories ('bout deplore
hubble basket cases) fit into authorized bag
infernal challenge sifting evermore

More Yang/Yin Conversation with Adam Robersmith

Robersmith (p. 47, Justice On Earth): 
"...science is showing us something important:
We are affecting our climate
and ecosystems
in ways that are detrimental to life
on the planet
and to how we live."

Yin: Science and conscience
are discovering and uncovering...Read More

When I look through
My telescope I can see
The burning sun
As it lets out
Radioactive rays
That spreads throughout
The universe
Affecting our planet
It also sends out negative rays
That interferes with people
And the environment
It affects the weather
Sea levels and crops
Causing the unthinkable
To the atmosphere
And human...Read More

A smile makes all the difference
To a person's day
It costs nothing to smile
So they say
It is obvious it sticks out a mile
There are more people frowning
Than those wearing a friendly smile
What has wiped the smile from a persons face
Is it...Read More

That climate change
Is affecting the world
There are more hurricanes
And off season tornados

Frozen ice caps are melting
Does anybody care
That it’s causing the
Sea levels to rise out of control
Creating large amounts of flooding

It’s separating our government
Causing hasty decision making
Does anybody care
That it...Read More

Bully me you, I exemplified archetypal scapegoat

Even as old curmudgeon, aye pucker
and raspily suction toothless mouth
drawing reminiscent guffaws affecting
attempt impersonating plumber
(think unclogging toilet)

long haired pencil neck geeks palled
around with another 
hirsute nerd...Read More

I battled against the depression even though there was so much aggression, but now my confession is that I have love from others who care.

Offenbach to boyhood, I pined nostalgic
Tale of (H)offman woe (mine)

yours truly a mere embryonic

to advance hypothesis fantastic,
and farfetched as said theoretic

Paying forward kindnesses done...
courtesy family, friend or stranger

Appreciative when nonagenarian
papa telepathically hears me yelp
and/or non twisted sisters,
who time and again offered
unsolicited beneficial help.

Indeed unable to reciprocate
that's not quite all he wrote

How many spirits could be saved,
if we could just let go,
 of the unimportant things.
we keep buried, but don't know,
how to release their hold.
Energy and time surely wasted,
on past injuries, because we're not bold.
Negativity is a force to be reckoned...Read More

The censer clanks
the smoke rises.
An attempt is made
to hypnotize.
It wafts across
the naive
The priest like
a magician has
a trick he uses
to deceive.
The incense odor,
causes a spiritual
trip.
Chanting in Latin,
locks his grip.
Affecting only  
those who are on 
 a guilt trip.
A stronger odor...Read More

We drink five billion cups of coffee a year
An insane amount, it's becoming tragically clear
The forest clearing

King Arthur had the right design
For when ideas abound
Discussion goes much smoother
At a table that is round.

When more than four sit down to talk
At tables long or square
The conversation’s aimed at who
Sits in the closest chair.

So little groups will splinter...Read More

Most of us are familiar with
The escapism from pain.

For an easy and cheap solution
Or because of advices of the
Doctors, psychologs;
Most of us get a cheap piece of matter
Triggering the oscillation of dopamine,
Making most of us addicted to them
As well as...Read More

I’ve hurt some people in my life

In spite of all that seems...Read More
