"Burning Bushes Treacherous Cargo"

They say hell 
is on fire 

but there in 
The Lawrence Forest 
exist many, 
burning bushes 
waiting on deliverance
delivering messages,
hidden shadow angels
waiting for their
Bardo exodus

they are 
allowed to 
come and go 
but they are 
drawn back 
to their torched
habitats 
like moths
to flames

their...

The sea rose up to kiss the sky 

crashed down upon the ship   

then tossed it high 

like some baby with a new toy. 

  

The slaves emerged blinking 

in the harsh  light  on deck 

Their chains for ever linking...

Commodities.
Packed up
Wedged together
Shut out from light and air, 
Little creatures indifferent to life or death
Stacked.
Branded.
Horrified
Of what comes
With the open door.
Looking for the first opportunity
To Leap
Escape
This intolerable life.
The Mass grave
Of a two-dimensional reality....

The Sinking of the Cargo Ship, El Faro


The Bible, itself, speaks of the men of the world that go down to the sea in ships
because notably, they see the Hand of God move more than we all, 
For in the midst of a storm, these...

The sidewalk stretched for miles
   that concrete roadside line.
It swerved and curved,
   and dipped and rose.
Alongside U.S. 29.

We knew each crack, and every hole.
   and every bump and drain.
Knew when to coast the downhills
   and when to...

Not entering among those sterile walls
your mind is firmly resolute with decision

not wanting to be cutted
you are leaving your life
in hands of earth

but will you be wise enough
to ask her a right questions
determined enough 
to hear the answers

I know you are afraid
not feeling your body...

"Compassionate Cargo"
in the chapel of my heart compassion reigns
extending helping hand to less fortunate
sharing tender love touches souls steeped in pain
causes smiles to emerge, releasing regret

compassion for creation caresses hearts
implanting words show care to grow fruitful starts

creation hungers for sincere open doors
to quench thirst through...

The clouds are dark
Beneath the sky
My tears are black
I won’t ask why
The rain falls back
I start to sigh
This burden rock
I can’t defy
I’m always mock
Even they lie
Have no such luck
With that one guy
He mess me up
I can’t deny
My heart is lock
Until I die...

A sojourn in the sleep, 
Led me to the valley deep, 
I passed through forest thick, 
And high hills and crests, 
Along with a saintly guide whom I never knew. 

I was led to the front of a cave, 
With a huge arched entrance, 
It...

The hull of the boat was full
Lying so close to each other
They used a tool
To clamp the irons on brother

Lying so close to each other
The stink in the hull was death
To clamp the irons on brother
The boat moving pitching beneath

Lying so close to each other
They...

but when you transport something by SHIP, CARgo is how it's sent?...

I ride in the morning my cargo as preciouse as the sun
I think about my cargo and where I must take it
And how careful I must be on each run
My cargo is rare in fact they're the only two
No price could ever own them
No trade...

She slithered from the jungle in a Vera Wang sarong
Like some wicked juju temptress with no sense of right or wrong. 
I remember how it thrilled me, 
Oh yeah, when she shimmied in the buff;
And that first time she let loose, I thought I’d never...

 Against stupidity, the gods themselves contend in vain.
Friedrick Schiller 


We are now used to accept that money
Is our gods, and getting it is pure honey.
I bought a cargo vessel that would make me rich
And docked it in a port where I'd find no hitch.
Soon...
