Myself, Armed Only With A Dying Flame


Dark travels in such a long life
early days of hungering strife
A child born to fight for it
tasting ton of salt in every spit

  
Lost on pathways that breathe my aches
Prod me restless as I sever the chase
Between day...

Layin down this heavy sword for a spell,
Dropping these rusty gauntlets of shame.
A shadow cast thought I knew so well.,
Layin down this heavy sword for a spell.
Open arms long for hugs, but who can tell..
Love left a heart broken yet whole again.
Layin down this heavy...

With a pull of the arm
the eyes started to roll
Sweat poured from the pits
as if nothing at all.
Tears smudged the rims
from the pull, roll, and ring
When the fruit salad face
Showed a lop-sided grin....

The armed militias
Plant gunpowder in gardens
And harvest the souls on the streets
Crushing dreams
Robbing smiles
Spreading pains
Everywhere
Here 
Dove of peace
Looking for peace
Here
The olive branch
An arrow
Dripping with bloods
Here 
All flowers
Smelling of crying 
Here
The truth becomes a kind of stupidity......

~Prayer For Those In The Armed Forces~
(Candleholder of Light)


O God of Mercy 
To You I pray 
Give them courage 
When they come to You 

Heal within their soul 
Just make them whole 
Pain they've known 
Help when they're alone
 
They're in combat zone 
And it...

A chance you armed as FOX YIN TUNG..
Trimmer chances will wangle out of laws.
Chance your arms are smuggle men.
Hong Kong FOX YIN TUNG had chance to come true.
Chance would be fine as there are only disguised laws.
Poorer grades are some dissembles.
Double faces will hide but...

Here are the lyrical, poetic, rhymes of many 
Words sewed together into one poem 
Even in an uneasy world 
There are not easy words 
To say to you in any shape or form. 
You see I am armed 
With poetic verses split down the middle...

For your charges
Wear a bandolier diagonally
From shoulder to waist.
Fill it with rounds
Of crayons
The color of a rainbow
With that arched calm
Following a terror rain.

Let this be a lesson
To ring from bell to bell
For children 
Without number,
Without interruption....

I swing into action
Armed with wine 
The spirit willing, really for anything
Watch the Drama

Fire in my eye, dry throat, cracking lip
I stammer a little, with Socratic confidence 
I am stinking of words, ammunition from hell
Most haunting jargon, charging and burning
Listen, you mortals
The making of a...

Don’t know about you, but I think it’s stupid
To give lethal weapons to a diapered Cupid
(and what happens when he’s gotta go?)

See his soft feathered wings?
 (Those fat little things!)
They flutter fast as he flies to and fro

But as he tries to take aim
To start...

Anchored 25 miles offshore in the Gulf of Mexico
The rod bends sharply; anxiously I struggle to pull up my catch
Alas, not dinner, just a mischievous scarlet octopus
The line is cut, but with suction cups it clings to the boat
Why couldn’t this have been the one...

There will be no recognition, no epiphanies 
No intellectual solidarity, no saving grace
So without further adieu, let us speak free, 
 A clarion call to smash this ludicrous machine that churns out poverty and wipes away our identities
The apparatus of violent repression. 
The rich partake...
