I Raise AgainThey lowered the flag
And I showed my frustration
They try to blow my candle out
But I raise again holding my head high
I let my balloons fly also
Red, white, blue and black
The balloons all flying irrespective of colour
I raise again irrespective of my colour...

A SchoolPowerful is the art of school
To enlighten the spirits of the nation
To move burdens a cross the valleys, plains, mountains...
A school is a concrete atom of change
That flourish from time to time to challenge
The atrocities of the nation....

IN THESE BABYLONIAN TIMESIN THESE BABYLONIAN TIMES PS
(A Palming Allegorical Rendering)
With elephant ears,
And the keenness of giraffes,
Let’s become as owls:
Divine wisdom and guidance,
Eagle-winging us justice:-
In our life’s nature,
Trials and tribulations come:
So does conquering:-
In Babylonian times,
Seek your new Jerusalms:-
Jesus rode an ass,
We now have one riding us:
Time to buck him off:-
Leaving no palms to catch him,
Let’s burn away...

And is always there waiting to be asked
To navigate you towards that ever present help
When souls become deflated with great grief:-

Will ...strengthen your heart…for…

The Gospel According to Jacob Hiegentlich
In a bar forgotten by the calendar,
where clocks had no tails
and time knelt with its head bowed,

and Jacob, bartender and poet,
offered him both the gin — and his heart.
There was no light in that place,
but they lit up the dark.
Like a birth beneath the earth,
like two candles flickering

The Manifesto I've Dreaded To WriteI’m sorry I never fit inside the rooms you gave me.
The walls bent inward,
doors swelled shut,
and I mistook silence for safety.
I’m sorry —
I’m sorry for every quiet collapse you never saw,
for the teeth I swallowed instead of words,
for becoming a stranger in the house you built.
I’m sorry —
I’m sorry for leaving them in the dark,
for...

EnlightenmentEnlightenment
Enlightenment, don’t know what it is…
As endless waves swell and break
On the ocean of Samsara
All the while under Nirvana’s spacious sky.
Is there such a thing
As a final goal,
Or is it instead
An endless process of becoming?
How should I know? But I do know
That once I knew with all my heart
I would eventually become...

The Terminal at SpringsIt was four am when I entered Colorado Springs Airport. Darkness of the sky was kissing the lips on the face of the mountain. Right around sunrise after I had my morning cappuccino I saw the sight that would speak to my mind and heart. The words came from Pikes Peak. The mountain was red...
