APROPOS OF DING DONG DITCH AND PALS

Literally, AI pranks
Have caused suicides:-
One while on the computer;
The other by a back shot:-
This may sound funny,
But death is no silly joke;
Neither should pranks be:-
Putting all in perspective,
In half of a month,
Check out “AI Psychosis”
And its friend, “Sycophancy”!?!
As must be with war,
Let us crack down on greed and
Its collateral

IN AND OF A PRANKING TRAGEDY
(Apropos Of A Poetic Homily)

We must remind
Our children of
Those false-fun
Pranks, 
That can cost
Their lives,
And false-glory
Thanks:- 
We must not
Allow ourselves
To be parents
That endorses pranks
To warrant 
Our children’s thanks
For being allowed
To inject pain and fear
Upon those of us
In which kids’ pranks
Are not so clear:-
Indeed, with a prankster
Child shot and killed,
We can’t just
And

Premium MemberPOETIC GIGGING: Apropos Of My Hot Toddy

After a tired
labor of love day
got on the Trane
and after a few Miles
I reached Monk
later laying 
back travelling 
towards Sarah
and Nina 
and after
getting Dizzy
headed West
boarded Bird 
flying onto Art

I’m sharing with you

to peacefully Cannonball 
deeply into

Premium MemberREVOLUTION'S EVOLUTION: Apropos Of Today's Political Dilemma

Freedom must be won
Oppression beaten and done;
Let’s follow Heron:
Let’s make revolution live;
Defeating oppression’s jive:-

Come revolution,
Heal syndrome’s devolution;
Curing delusion:

We’ve survived much worse
Of the oppressor’s dam curse;
Now’s too, we will burst:
Liberation’s spring is here;
We’ll be fighting without fear:-

To deal with that choice by y’all;
Least all your hopes

Premium MemberOF LIBERATING POETIC JUSTICE: APROPOS OF FREESTYLE RENDERING

In the composing

of every liberated poet

of poetic justice,

every pen is a freestyle

composition

irrespective of structural

rendering

of the divine birth-wording

that has been given

from the supreme

conductor’s wand’s

 instructions

as to where to be

and go

in the rhythmic

flow of

the frothing waves

of awareness

shared in the imaging

canvas of eyes

and ears

to behold that

of the essence

of freed minds

whose souls

are as deep empty wells

waiting to be filled

with

APROPOS OF POETIC SOUPING…

Sitting here
On the riverbank 
Of the riverbed
Of poetic creation
May the flow
Of my words
Stream joy
To the thirsty eyes
Drinking them
Hydrating weary souls
And may these leaking
Allegorical words
Drip into the saucers
Of minds 
To be sipped
With deciphered awareness
In becoming liberating beings
Oh may God of creation
Fill my poetic cistern with 
With words of divine wisdom
And guidance
To be poured
