Exasperation Over ExpectationsToday’s students strive only to meet expectations
We used to go all out to exceed expectations
Young people have no real goals, just vague destinations
Their minds seem to be set on low-level vibrations
Our young people seem to lack worthy aspirations
Discouraged teachers are left with exasperation
With weapons...

The Violence of MoneyThere is never an ending
to the spending
a world of paper
and plastic to collect
and horde
clothes
and cars
and homes
and jewelry
and fine wine
and paintings
stocks and bonds
vacations
and expectations
entire vocations
devoted to
disguising the numbers
the Caribbean masquerade
to volumes of recorded
purchases and voices
of invoices
making
discreet
choices
all
to extend
the accumulation
of dates
and...

Potd a Message By the PoliceSome poets, are an island lost at sea
Another day goes by, and still no P.O.T.D.
Other poets, their faces
Their faces are everywhere
Other poets, feel left out
They fall into despair
I'll send an S.O.S. to the soup
I'll send an S.O.S. to...

Thanks To BerliozThey have found their place,
In offices, administrations, companies,
Now they are proud, beautiful, radiant,
God keep us safe, they are brilliant,
If they can leave me alone,
The circle will be complete; I would not have to fight anymore,
They will continue to shine, to be beautiful,
Whatever they want,...

Unsung Heroes of the Predawn LightWe are the unsung heroes of the predawn light.
No we may never have fought in a great war,
or saved a soul from the snapping jaws of death.
People wave to us, but few know who we are
and most on a good days run could care...

Red and Blue Estrangered FamiliesDear Siblings Three,
I was reading a story
in which some siblings became estranged
after their parents died,
while others moved toward greater solidarity.
This is a variation on a diaspora story.
But, here growing physical distance
is seen more as a geographic effect
than a political cause
of growing estrangement on one side,
and...

August AlliterationAfter July abdicates, august August arrives,
and the year advances, as annually agreed.
After assessing alternative alternatives and accords,
as anticipated, no other affirmative alternative is advanced.
Actually August is always an annual actuality, affably accepted
as amicable and always awaited ardently, as July avidly absconds!
Anxiously active actions...

Epitaph
A Greener Bodhisattva WorldThis is the third time
I've read Beyond Religion:
Ethics
[non-sectarian, non-partisan, non-violent]
for A (not "The") Whole World
[ZeroZenZone Universe, psychological and politically eco-logical].
In the second, of two, sections,
the Dalai Lama discusses,
in most excruciating therapeutic detail,
emotional positive v negative intelligence,
good- through bad-humored democratic literacy.
I remember Behavioral Psychology class
leading to...

Radically Conservative RevolutionsRadical conservatives are cooperatively embracing a culture war.
Our battlefield is our ecologically evolving brain.
At stake is what Earth and Earth's hosted tribes become.
Our cooperative vocation is to radically co-arise nondual human development
to fit conservationist moral integrity.
Our threat is anemically anthrocentric democracy
and all that does not...

All of it she "Hides"
See the hurt in her "Eyes"
The Pain In her "Soul"
An the Pain that "Grows"
That's why maybe she Chases...

Speaking With Donald JohnI was speaking with my good friend
Donald John
the Evangelist for AntiChrist
the other day.
And I had to ask,
Donald John,
Why are you so against health care
for all our not yet slaughtered
and otherwise dead already?
Except perhaps health services
exclusively for those able to buy a hospital
for themselves
and their...
