Best Babbler Poems


Is Your America a Country, Or Is Youramerica a Business

A MAN RECENTLY SAID THAT THE FUNDAMENTAL TRUTH IS THAT OUT OF MANY, WE ARE ONE. HOWEVER, PEOPLE DEEDS TODAY, TRANSFORM THAT FUNDAMENTAL TRUTH INTO A LIVING MYTH! THERE WERE MANY HISTORICAL LEADERS WHO FORGE THIS DOCUMENT THAT WAS SUPPOSE TO HAVE BEEN THE CORNER STONE OF AMERICA. ALL MEN ARECREATED EQUAL. YET I PONDER! IS YOUR AMERICA A COUNTRY, OR IS YOURAMERICA A BUSINESS?

ITS EVIDENT THAT A WRITER CAN MOVE THE HEARTS AND MINDS OF ITS READERS TO SUCH A DEGREE, THAT THE RECIPIENT OF THE WRITERS WORD WILL BLIND ANY BEING TO UNDERSTANDING, WISDOM, KNOWLEDGE, AND THE QUEST FOR TRUTH. THOMAS JEFFERSONWAS TIRE OF PAYING TAXES TO BRITISH, THAT HE WROTE WORDS THAT INVOKE MEN TO BELIEVE AND DIE FOR THOSE WORDS AS HE SAT COMFORTABLY ON HIS LEATHER COMFORTER AND DRANK WINE TO SUCH A DEGREE HE BECAME A WINE BABBLER. 

HE NEVER BELIEVE WHAT HE WROTE, BECAUSE HE, HIMSELF CONDONE, TOALLOW HIS OWN CHILDREN TO LIVE IN SLAVERY. OF COURSE YOUR HISTORY BOOKS WILL SHEDDED LITTLE ON THAT MATTER. ITS NOT GOOD FOR BUSINESS TO SHARE SUCH TRUTH! HE FATHER SEVERAL CHILDREN AS HE SECRETLY IMPREGNATED SLAVE GIRLS UNDER HIS MASTERSHIP.
IS YOUR AMERICA A COUNTRY OR IS YOUR AMERICA A BUSINESS?

FROM THE TOP TO THE BOTTOM, THEY SAY WE LIVE IN NEIGHBORHOODS, COMMUNITIES, TOWNS, AND STATES. IF THAT'S SUCH A TRUTH. THEN WHY DO YOUR DEEDS REVEAL THAT'S ITS EVERYONE FOR THEMSELVES? IF YOU TOUCH MINES I'LL HARM YOU, IS THAT THE TRUTH? WHY IS THERE ON 20 COUNTRYS THAT'S ALLOWED TO CONTROL THE GLOBAL ECONOMY? WHY ARE AMERICAN BUSINESSES SECRETLY SELLING LARGE DEGREES OF LAND TO THOSE ENTITIES WHO HAVE THE GREATEST DEGREE OF CASH-FLOW? I ASK YOU FINALLY! IS YOUR AMERICA A COUNTRY? OR IS YOUR AMERICA A BUSINESS? OR DO I CLOSE MY EYES AND WEEP, BECAUSE APPARENTLY ITS JUST BUSINESS? ITS NOT PERSONAL!! PART 2

Premium Member We Are Endangered As Well!

I researched the earth's endangered species list and this is what I found.
There's everything on the list from A to Z - rare species just abound!
I'll highlight some of the more interesting varieties just to name a few,
That creep and crawl amongst us in this world-wide conglomerate zoo!

There's the Red-bellied Grackle, Pig Footed Bandicoot and Aquatic Rat;
Paraguana Mustached Bat, Zanzibar Guitarfish and the Andrean Cat!
A rare Whiskered Flower Pecker, Canarian Shrew and Amaragosa Vole,
A Peruvian Climbing Mouse, African Wild Ass and an Arend's Golden Mole!

Also listed were the Aruba Island Rattlesnake and the Okinawa Rail,
The Western Wattled Cuckoo Shrike and the Rolling Pebblesnail.
Something called the Philippine Warty Pig and the African Wild Dog,
And a Red-collared Mountain Babbler plus a Tanzanian Screeching Frog!

I also found a Banded Wobblegong and a reptile called a Bailey's Snake,
A Cameroon Clawless Otter and something called a Band-bellied Crake!
How about the Concave-eared Oderous Frog or an Eastern Bristlebird,
The Charming Thicket Rat, Common Yobby or a rare Dahl's Jird!

Some folks may find some redeeming value having these critters in our midst,
And I suppose to a certain degree we must learn with them to coexist.
But more importantly, if humankind can't learn in peace on earth to dwell,
We *****sapiens could end up on the endangered species list as well!

Premium Member Music of the Sky

"Music of the Sky"
Sputtering awkwardly to conquer the first morning's air 
While they wake up all around your flower garden 
Promoting an ambiance to a cloudless sunrise 
The emboldened Wood Swallows begin their song

The crack of dawn smiles at you who can't help to smile back 
An enticement to join the activity  
You are a photographer in America  
As your own version to birds of paradise begin  
To tickle your ear with intermittent chirping
 
The fluttering songbirds sing beautifully in soprano
Calling for their unresponsive partner, it might as well be you
To keep them company for a morning babbler who is radiant

Lifting up your spirits 
Showing reluctance for leaving them
But the robins and sun birds deserve attention too
It is you who must take flight now

A kingdom in your continent while everyone puts on a show
Cuckoo! Cuckoo!  
Mezzo-soprano masterpieces offer sweet sounding competition
To lure you in their direction 
You are pulled so many ways and yet
There is no wrong way to go
Tons of free spirits in North America beckon
With fancy allurement for you
A males feathers spread out 

Fascination grows with each sensation to snap a shot
Your patience is well worth the waiting 
Redeemed by the call of the magpies

But the worst part of the day is to come 
When it has the urge to turn into night
And the music of life will cease

Those nocturnal beauties will be punished 
By your absence they go unappreciated
For eight hours while you sleep
A frown composed on your face as you sink to your bed
And there you will settle for the chirping of crickets


Assyrian Babbler


Emerald shiny baubles
attract wizard eyes ...
Balaam al-Oz
Assyrian acquisitions
be kryptonite-colored vanity
Ownership is an Alexandrian transaction,
a Grecian war rhetoric reaction
Gehazi greedy ... 
take all that your Philistine soul see,
as much as your twelve fingers can reach
Sennacherib eyes bald eagle beady,
tilt the full treasure chest pirate empty
Hard diamond negotiator sue for peace,
brook of deceit bubbling sulfuric words acidly
Assyrian babbler
baring the saber sharp tiger teeth
Asking for more and more
shiny baubles ,
more than a Rab-shakeh heart could ever need
Baal belly lust consume:
Pure Pul gluttony, covetous Jareb vomiting
Iscariot greedy ...
betray any and everybody
for the precious metal blood money
Venusian discovery:
Jupiter begat Mars,
typical mythical anti-hero morality
Pharaoh pyramid schemes,
beryl baubles 
shining in Caesar’s coffer coffin dreams
Kill the Tyrus body ... then kill the Magog zombie spirit arising:
don't vow pitbull loyalty to a low-born licentious liege
Count the death cost for the Sisera hostile takeover campaign,
calculate the Tartan war price for the protracted siege
Assyrian babbler
don’t wanna pay for the Wall
No more dead presidents
jaded green leaves gon windfall
Assyrian babbler
you’re gonna pay for the Wall
Taxing dead presidents
levee green sacks gon Jericho fall
Assyrian babbler
give the last tour of duty trump call

Electing the New Pope

electing the new pope (conversation between two cardinals)

christian child molester with “holy” guise #1:

“psst…has joey been locked up
in the cage (vatican)?  has he been
put in a safe place where he can’t be heard,
where his senile ramblings won’t reveal
how many little boy’s that we’ve
raped & molested?”

christian child molester with “holy” guise #2:

“yes, i think he’s done with his waving &
tearing eyes, he has done his last 
praying hands, he has been shuffled off 
somewhere where he won’t be found out.”

christian child molester with “holy” guise #1:

“has he been cleaned up?  i mean, is all
the evidence gone?  we don’t want any traces
of the little boy’s DNA, we don’t want it 
getting out that joey was just like the rest of
us.”

christian child molester with “holy” guise #2:

“i understand.”

christian child molester with “holy” guise #1:

“i certainly hope you understand, because we have
to get another old shriveled up, white haired,
babbler up there quick, before easter you know.”

christian child molester with “holy” guise #2:

“certainly.”

christian child molester with “holy” guise #1:

“because you know the catholics of the world can’t
be without their little figurehead on their little
day of illusions…”

christian child molester with “holy” guise #2:

“of course not.  we wouldn’t want that! (laughing)”

christian child molester with “holy” guise #1:

(laughing with him) “the herd needs a shepherd, or they
might start think for themselves & toss out the whole 
thing.”

The Fourth Corner

Commitmenting to one another
they sought a contractual agreement
that binds them in
marriage that refuses to
speak either as bride or groom: but
rathers as Husbandman and WifeWoman.
from the terms of Fiance and Finance"
From Engaged to Married without
the traditional exploited terms of
devaluing those involved with
nuptial's.
Making light of Non educating people
to the words involved and associated with
pending nuptials is mean and spirted towards revenge.
those who use these practices ought to be spoken of.
As it is written.
" my people are destroyed for the lack of knowledge,
in full representation of who we are
and who we wish to be".
Each word defined!
Each word Defined!
than with what each day may bring
might we never brag about tomorrow
that our ignorance overwhelms us
that we are obligated to speak
the definition in word
to the clarity of the Vision.
that God might mean in
full definition of each word
the pro's and con's of
the babbling tongue!
they will make you the Babbler, so they might create your role
as villain, and you shall be labeled hypocrite
who is vile and vain! They wish to speak of you
behind your back, to say what you might do!

What Will This Babbler Say

I will like the brook                                                                                                       Jesus is Lord giving life                                                                                          streams of endless Love

The Babbler

the babbler (trying their hardest to 
convince themselves of what they 
claim to believe in public)



saying to one who does not feel
that there is anything beyond this
momentary pubic hair of existence 
that “there has to be something more” &
that “there has to be something 
mysterious” & “that there has to be
something greater” & then directly
following that truckload of fallacious 
statements by informing your 
conversational pal that “it” speaks to 
you personally on a daily basis, that
its plans have been all laid out in a work 
of fiction written a couple thousand 
years ago & that it has created a 
permanent place for you forever 
where you need never question 
anything or fear being harmed.

The Birds

Reclined under the shade of a snag tree,
A babbler piqued my curiosity.
Staggered by the companionship, initially.
Then pleased.

I discerned a lamenting warble...
The massif offered commiserations to him,
With an echo.
A lorikeet adjoined him, ensuingly
And, she twittered a novel...
Which was beyond my comprehension.

Nefarious humans are certainly not shaped,
To perceive this heavenly beauty.

His agonised warble was altered;
Now sings a euphonious trill.
Fare-thee-well, they exclaimed to the departing sun.
Much obliged, sings the song of love.

Audience

In the impatient
     audience...
             was only
          listened
             any word,
      when nobody
          babbler
          spoke...!

Premium Member American Cacophony

Microtonal mayhem misses the mark
a triple concerto for sirens, drones & bullets
groaning ghosts pluck piano strings
extramusical praise: present (& past/future)
we're going around & round (sings the flute)
0:00 constant vivace
Alcotts double IV. played
Ives: crusty old coot (but used his ears like a man)
percussive violence
syncopated strings: polytonal dances

Moody barlines go barhopping 
741 ideas ; 21 woods; 1904 eons
background music
a sparkling concert hall 
Whitman spits on Emerson
16:23 (viola), contrasted 1947
Ralph's fragments 
keys to the sky
rocky jazz 
Pox on The Fox
Daddy contra (No.5 edition)

Sneering atonal waltzes (from a glum mustache)
“Who Cares If You Listen?”
Elliott got Carter (yearning for dissonant dialogues)
agitated woodwinds crushed by percussion
Symphony 20:02
Concord, Concord, Concord (sonata?)
please the phrase 
please phrase your phases;
this ain't transcendentalism

Magnificent Desolation!
a universal string trio: Hawthorne approves
insert Feldmanesque pointillism (very slow, very quiet)
notate a Super Magnum--rotate a Super Maggot
supersymmetric pianos pulsate
tremendous trumpet triumphs
advanced anticlimax (requires spacetime)
Adagio seeks strings
ethereal, hear the sacrifice
“Hello Friends!” blurts the bearded babbler
listen: Cageian silent shock
enter: Varese sound masses!
sodelicious...Here!
optional glissandos 

Lenny dances on the smog
Gershwin’s getting rhythm
Central Park serenades the Dark Unanswered Question
sloppy sonatas wait for Waldo 
counterpoint delayed  
the clarinet knows
the string quartet begs for an exorcism
major/minor note spinning
bombastic post-war movements

Obviously, sharing......
excellent musical time 
in light seconds (1840–60)
performers: revealed 
clusters of desolate Americanism 
But here....1 Reply
answers go quickly on a Mysterious Mountain
unanswered (galactic) question
“music on my funeral…
thank you for posting”
