Best Assimilation Poems

It begins like "vater" on stone--
with a drop
with a drip
non-stop
that rubs the colors off your face.
It is free speech, fast cars, and French fries--
New York in the eyes of a village boy.
It's a rat race;
It's lazy tongues, lost souls and a longing for home
without a...

L'Assimilation – Non! Translation of Oodgeroo Noonuccal’s “Assimilation – No !” by T. Wignesan

Born Kathleen Jean Mary RUSKA on November 3, 1920, in the North Stradbroke Island, off Queensland, she was deemed as an aboriginal (poor whites too were subject to the same fate) -...

…obliterated night of the seven seasons
tickets and thickets and trains collide
into the cliché of licking tongues 
wed to the bred moan of capitalism

(grinning gothic gremlin) smile of a nurse
before the coma saturates the elliptical
thought of the ghost mutes trepidation
(ride the crest of the adder’s riddle)

Revisionist lies sold as materialistic truth
American tagged merchandise
voter bazaar discount barter
Stars and Stripes twenty-one gun salute
Intellectual dishonesty ... shifting core values
Leave compassion at the border,
separate the parents

Stock-in-trade inventory
historic laden with broken promises
Scarlet...

Drifting thru nuclear waste, Hammond was lost.
Beginning this trip to wine and dine, his love Rosie.
Also to attend the vacuum salesmen convention,
Insomnia and pain had started to take their toll.
Eyes strained, UFO has emerged within wormholes.
Friends had warned him, giving Tid-Bits of stories.
This gig had...

I will meet you
in the dark
less we be distracted
from the tactile operations
of souls

the feeling creatures that
we are, too often unwilling
to accept and grease mere
basic mechanics of self

outer light, and not those inner 
clarities we are born with

illumination not by spectrum

Assimilation
(the Borg are among us)

It is not a request. 
It is a fact. 
If you do not…
chaos.

Were you really better off?
If you were, then why did you come?

Free?
Do you know what that is?
Have you ever felt it?
Have you ever had to sacrifice...

Misty morning dew

Puddles on the ground

It's quiet all around

Except for natures sounds

And I can't help feeling

A love for all creation

I can't help but feel

This awesome sensation

That we are all a part

Of one biological system

We are all as one with nature

And when we embrace this

Then life...
