"The Mortal Wound of the Civilized World"



Shift upwards
speed fast
the choice, Is

Gears chosen by the 
energetic heart 
fuel the freedom

The point of attention
the “I Am” 
an expression

of the same
consciousness 
that you are "Is"

we are living 
yet contained economies
numbed and played circadian 

pinned and 
framed 
to our...

I HEARD THEY THOUGHT THEMSELVES CIVILIZED

Each grain of gorged sand
civilized people —
themselves owned; owned land.

meanwhile the steeple
looked down at the band
of loquacious stock.
each thought themselves well
in front of the rock.

Ozymandias’ plaque —
bleak headstone of hell!

Cain’s ark had a crack —
offed sand of red sea.

Cornerstone cuts...

I am a civilized animal, just like you
My brain works a bit better than a computer
In terms of obeying human moral

My heart circulates blood transporting oxygen and nutrients
To every little cell that comprised of molecules and organelles
Made by materials

My life works strictly this way nothing...

Now doc assured Cindy that all would be fine
and finished the abortion at a quarter to nine.
The partial birth process was a total success
and as Cindy recovered, they disposed of the mess.
By one O’clock doc had a wood in his hands
and drove down the fairway...

I
When the hands cease creating ...
pottery, paintings, portraits, machines
Or gathering seeds, nursing forests ...

II
When the head ceases pondering philosophy ...
How to ameliorate, annihilate sufferings
Or simply how to be kind, reduce crime ...

III
When the heart stops caring enough to endure ...
things that must be endured (Gandhi...

It is the most basic world
It has the coward and the bold
The big and small
The short and tall
Creatures of all sizes
None of us ever realizes
Valuable lessons we need
Our knowledge to feed
From them and what they know
And the respect we should show
But arrogance took over our...

i must be king, the sole lord,
whether baboons and monkeys
draw a long stream of blood 
whether allies of men-beasts
parade an endless blood-bath
there! a sacrifice of infants
of pregnancies of still-births
of gray-hairs that forcefully 
must fall before my leopard’s claws –
i must be king, the sole lord,

Now riding electric lifts to the sky,

Looking down on ones lower than them,

From once sparkling towers covered in greedy soot,

Practicing lies in mirrors reflecting evil,

Dying bodies on far away sidewalks appearing as bugs,

Lofty perched minds unaware of compassionate thoughts,

Forgetting dank dark mountain holes they descended...

There is a place where a diviner lives
It’s a place of shouting, invoking spirits
A diviner plays tricks on the young
Dealing  in business of words and tricks
All are like witchcraft at work

It’s  a place of witchcraft of the civilized
brain buttered, stomach given bread, ears...

She used to blame herself.
Perhaps it was her fault anyway.
She swims in the lies his lips tell
Forced by obligations, to hide her pain.

She spends her nights missing him
Knowing he is far from lonely.
Wrapped in these bitter emotions
That are snuffing out her dignity.

Before now, she never...

side-effects of “civilized” idiocy

chronic western perpetual stress---
side-effect of the neon lit metropolis
side-effect of the wonderful illusion of “democracy”
side-effect of the dog-devour-dog reality of 
capitalism,
always growing stronger, always eliminating other forms
of life, always eliminating other ways of life,
always demanding to the population of the world that
this...

The earth's stained with your "human rights" and deeds.

“Civilized” March 9, 2022 - 

Mundane nowadays, are the old ways of night and day
Somehow convinced we are not the same
Once a place where beasts could roam and play
Cages are built as homes in a twisted game
Civilized we say, to hide our shame.

If one could...

A Reliquary Musing
 
A child’s doll melded into a stone in a former Nazi Death Camp
as its chilling image haunts the collective mind of those who live 
in the so-called civilized world of today and who profess a hollow
concern for a child who’s long dead...
