APROPOS OF DING DONG DITCH AND PALS
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
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

POETIC 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
leaving me
to ink

I’m sharing with you

Be as the sun,
And doubt not the Son of God;

Always believe in yourself;
Always be in God’s guidance:-
Journey faithfully,
You are destined for success;

When lost, sign in your compass
And be guided on your way:-

REVOLUTION'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:
It’s time for revolution;
Let’s get to liberation:-
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:-
Now, its you folk’s call,
To deal with that choice by y’all;
Least all your hopes

OF 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
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
