Best Adulterate Poems

I THINK THEREFORE I AM


"An ounce of hypocrisy is worth 
a pound of ambition" --Michael Korda

Liberty...
This everyone's want--
stretching an autonomy to unbuckle self-discovery

I got mites and bugs living in my head--
infesting my mind. They... daring a chance
to worm my guts and electrify my peace.
They adulterate...

Simon wizard, you poor under his sway
That all things of God, which then of good will
Must be always brides, and you birds of prey

For gold and silver adulterate still,
Now it's time that the trumpet sounds for you,
Because you in third circle just stay ill.

We were...

UNQUOTABLE QUOTES: XLV - Tongue teasing epigrams

A stitch in time can save an arranged marriage and stave off a family feud, not to mention everlasting vendettas.
Still waters run deep in sleep.
When the hens begin to crow, the cocks don’t grow.
A whipped dog bites not the...

Rises my day, even before the sun, 
To smoothen others life, as butter in churn. 
To keep the flow perfect, I always haste,

Making everyone ready, for the day turn by turn, 
I wish someone...

as high contracting party to the tasks, 
to paint ten histories...

With windows open my breaths I am counting
While silent seconds are beating in heart's rhyme.
Silence is a deep well, inside its' waters I'm drowning
A chimera's torrent runs me down and to the surface I can't climb.

Silence shouts for those dreams left behind on desert road
Thirsty...

I guess you're seeing a flag?
Trouble comes and go,
The range of my eyes captures all black
Walk with me if life is without you alone,
Steal an emblem to save a city,
When we don't know where to go,breastfeed me to experience your nurture, 
From west comes deity,
Drilling...

Black or white it doesn’t matter
Why don’t we all live as one?
What’s the hate or suspicion all about? 
Over what exactly
Why don’t we all be like babies?
Babies don’t hate or dislike
Black babies white babies play together 
What’s the gain in hate?
We are all one 
Humans...

("Before And After Science", 2023, original encaustic)

The Corruption of Modern Times aka Colonization of the Sacred

There are traditions
Passed down in ear-whisper lineages
And Dead Sea scrolls
Dream journeys and alien visitations
These are the timeless traditions of the soul
And as such have remained safely outside of time
In little...

No secret the Don did abrogate,
his strict ban barring employees to acclimate
themselves, to live within United States
legal tender, and accommodate
themselves comfortably anonymous,

reliable, trustworthy, et cetera
resources who did activate
my awareness, his hired hands receive adequate
pay, (perhaps greater than minimum wage),

despite the fact...

My mind is a mystery,
It knows all that I know
scaring me out of my wits.

Methinks,
I cannot hide my thoughts—
That’s insane!
Why would anyone know
my innermost thoughts?
Least of all, my mind!
That’s between my 
soul and my conscience,
Why would my mind 
corrupts my thinking?

Mind is gullible and malleable,

Pray, my lord, says the priest. ‘Tis sweet balm for the soul,
and he, he sees yours-
Lord, I hope not- you think.
‘O! there are spirits of the air!’
a poet will write centuries after they give you your soldier’s burial
so when you turn to gaze into the...

on path to autonomy, she matured of late,
exhibiting autism during childhood
compliments of intervention, mastered
vanquished every trace to acclimate
self reliance no matter said spate
of developmental delay,
cramped, crimped, and

crumpled cognitive literate
chores abilities, yet
supportive services did alleviate
