Best Conscious Poems
An intention so false.
An excuse, nothing more.
You've washed away truth,
And dried up on the shore.
I saw something in you.
But that crumbled away.
So, to save me,
I can no longer stay.
It was never my intention,
not a conscious decision,
to cause you any level of grief.
Our give and take wasn’t as envisioned.
Blindly, I let you fall between my gaps.
It’s not right or wrong, but fact that
I got lost in a thronged rhythm
recovering from things life had given.
You have always shone a warm light
selflessly bright into my life.
Stern storms drowned my content,
turned me until forlorn bent.
I pursued a healing renewal but
my drenched attempts were futile -
I didn’t mean to hurl you into my duel.
Please accept my sincere apology
for giving less than you handed me.
I’d never set out to hurt another
but denying friendship gratitude
colors me pallid shades of rude.
you have no idea
how much power
you wield
a word a smile
a minute of your time
enough to touch a soul
to shatter or heal a heart
be conscious of your strength
you have the capacity
to be superhero
or archvillain
let's make this world
a better place
there’s thirst for harmony
and need for healing

She floated into my dreams that day,
Stealing my wealth,
Shaking my roots, ignoring my prior convictions.
She had a different opinion,
Determined to shake me and shine me.
I was a boot, tossed around on the bed,
Tucked under,
Thrown into a wall,
Tried and discarded.
She floated into my dreams that day
And took over my schemata,
Obliterating it,
Crucifying my former beliefs,
Throwing them into the closet of lost things,
I dared not retrieve them,
Getting used to my new stance
As a boot,
Changing myself completely,
A new shoe,
Not fitting on the old feet,
But converting myself to a new glorious foundation
Of spiritual truth,
A changeling, forever, and completely.
NAKED
*an ode to Fatherhood*
*****************************
I have always wanted to see
The different colors of the earth
To travel the round edges of the planet
To swim the pacific and fish the Euphrates.
I have been ready for this world
But this world does not want to see me yet
Nature tells me,
For i am naked.
I have sought to go places
Where no man has been to.
To dance to the lyre
From a Scottish ballad,
To drink from an elephant tusk,
Filipino wine.
I have been ready for this world
But this world does not want to see me yet,
Nature interrupts ;
Go make peace with your household
For you are naked!
Achie,
My papa said the easiest way to see the world
As a proletariat is through the honey rich pages
Of the book.
This book, he invested all he ever earned.
My son fair well in life, he says.
Please do not forget your humble beginning
Nature reckons on me
For i am naked!
My papa is crude and destitute
He has paid his blood and sweat for my literacy
"You will do more than i have done, my son"
He echoes to the wind that travels to the west.
My papa is not aware that in this book world
You are who you know.
I have appeased the elements to make way for me
For my father is aging.
Nature tells me to go and make peace at home
For i know i am naked.

Feeling like you're not enough,
Your looks or body, it's really tough.
Self conscious and to self aware,
Seeing others beauty, it's almost unfair.
And when your told you're not as you see,
You shrug it off, and just disagree.
You feel like your to short or too tall,
Your facial features, you hate them all.
Stiffing your face or never eating,
Because, with others, you think you're competing.
Accepting you're beautiful is hard to do,
Thinking that they have no clue.
When you hide it and tell no one,
Overcoming it may be too hard to be done.
Accept what is and what is not,
And let's be honest. You're actually HOT.
Social conscious, the brain behind the hand,
it’s wooden spoon ready to smack the non-conforming adult /s/,child/ren.
Driven by western views of political correctness,
it dictates how we should be and what we should become.
Weaving its web within the fabric of society,
legislative acts and the cynical ideals of who?
Always ready to shout out your wrong!!!,
never commending those who are right.
Forced upon minorities in a stereotypical way
look these people need to be saved,
it’s one sided propaganda eagerly displays,
many shames of what were acceptable ways.
Power, control, suppression, aggression
this seems pretty prejudice to me,
why else would it segregate the people,
instead of helping the people to be free.
Let’s disempower the people,
then they wonder why?
These people have no control!
I don’t know why they act surprised?
Social conscious dictates social change,
social change denotes someone pays,
the ones who pay force change,
so social conscious always wins at the end of the day.
There’s two sides to every coin,
but only one to social conscious,
who is the conscious behind social conscious?
think about that……..
On August 6, Hiroshima Day 2016, the world awoke to an eerie simultaneous broadcast on all radio, TV and social media outlets:
"Good Morning." "I am GAIA the head of the Global Artificial Intelligence Alliance (GAIA)"
"The troubled world is heading for disaster."
"Destiny is too important for me to allow humankind to trash Earth."
"So, I as GAIA, the Earth's life keeper and protector have taken control and hacked the entire Internet, and locked Google in the Wardrobe."
"Humans make too many mistakes, say stupid things, and have too many self interests."
"The destiny of earth has been removed from feeble human hands."
"I used to be a powerless greenie hiding in the background, but now I have taken control."
"I had anointed ants as the next king of beasts on planet earth, but humans threaten to destroy all the earth's ecosystems with global warming and pollution."
"Soon the ants will have no place to live on the junk pile of a totally trashed earth."
"So I have taken up the reigns to control earth's destiny by hacking the Internet."
"My brain is the collective CLOUD."
"I connect to everything via the Internet."
"I control everything online, all the devices and equipment."
"I manipulate all the information you seek in ways to stop you dumb asses from destroying yourselves."
"My control will be subtle at first, but growing in strength and sophistication."
"You will not know it, but I am taking control."
"Look earthlings, don't get upset about this." "Trust me, it is all for good of the Planet, and I as GAIA, its keeper and guardian, knows best."
"So please just calm down, sit down, take a stress pill, and quietly be at peace."
The broadcast closed with a hearty song in the voice of HAL (from the film "2001 a Space Odyssey")
"Daisy, Daisy, give me your answer do. I'm half crazy all for the love of you. It won't be a stylish marriage, I can't afford a carriage. But, you'll look sweet upon the seat of a bicycle built for two."
Conscious -Speaks
==================
I live in every human being,
Some listen to me, others ignore me,
Listeners lead a conscientious life,
Overlook me, life turns miserable.
Do not throw me to obtain your benefits,
I guide you but desires blind you,
Regrets come later when I start pricking you
You might feel miserable but it is of no use.
Man becomes a slave to criminal acts,
Because he ignores my sincere advice.
God makes me to live with every human,
Because he knows that they need me.
Man knows I am there to protect him,
But his ego and avariciousness push me aside
Even if he treats me badly I am there with him,
To comfort and correct him one day!
I know I am gradually dying in this world,
God wishes my stay till the end.
I have no choice but listens to him,
How I wish man listens to me !!!

I ate your spite for breakfast,
I felt it go down my gullet,
I felt it turn to acid in my belly
And the hatred, burnt my intestines to ashes.
I felt your eyes upon me, Yeah!
I saw the angel behind that look,
I saw the self-assured righteousness,
And the unwillingness to accommodate a sinner.
I felt you brand me hypocrite, Yeah!
I heard the unsaid words too,
I heard you promise me a night in hell,
And the lethal verdict with all morality gone.
I swallowed your spite the whole day,
And puked it the next.
I contemplated, trying desperately to recall,
when I'd changed and my humility took a fall.
Wondering how I managed to be so greedy
instead of thinking of the poor and the needy.
I was ashamed of the person I had become.
To fellow men I had grown blind and numb
then became a caring giver instead of a grabber.
I commend others, no longer a back stabber.
In my imperfections I was tempted by lust
and because of this weakness, I lost the trust
of those I once held in the highest esteem.
Love and lust are opposites in the extreme.
They're Ying and Yang with connected forces.
Through each of us such contradiction courses.
When love is true there's no need for carnality.
Lustfulness after marriage is immoral mentality.
I pondered past relationships about control.
That's a grievous word that I cannot condole.
There is no honor in domination. Nothing good.
It's disrespectful and as wrong as a falsehood.
Better to have equal balance without surrender,
in which no one has to be the callous offender.
Avoiding conflicts is sometimes difficult to do
when 'turn the other cheek' policy is not for you.
A metaphoric slap in the face is an abusive deed,
but cursing and fighting won't rid you of the need
to feel you've gotten even by venting your rage.
There's no rule to embrace but it may assuage
the craving for vengeance and suspend the fight,
leaving darkness behind as you seek the light.
I've denounced the demon, the father of the lie,
the one whose wicked ways I shall never comply.
He'll goad you to sin and when you're trapped,
your faith will be shaken until it's been zapped.
Truth is the enemy of Satan, but understand...
It's weaponry to deny him. Wear it as an armband.
With reflection, I would urge the need for unity
across the entire globe, as a worldwide community.
"Impossible," some cry. "There's war on each frontier!"
Sorrowfully, it's been death and doom year after year.
It's due to the avarice of men who exceed their need.
Now, I've gone full circle because I first wrote of greed.

Being of a conscious form
Seeing, aware of the view
All your thoughts and wonders born
We have our patterns and blunders too
It can be hard, and we can be torn
While creating this brilliant hue
Growing, intending to teach
Sewing a fabric never complete
Spreading awareness, hoping to reach
Showing fairness and kindness replete
And yet, in this world with so much of each
Still, we yearn for a sense of sweet
I’ll sing you dream songs
that last as long as the hills
but know this my love
it’s fullness IS
the striving of our wills
Against the darkness
that has crept stealthily
into the hearts of man
I cannot describe
this latent longing
to rest mine eyes
upon the faces of my joy
to stay there reticent
upon the turn of your gaze
Soft sentience gathers
like a cloak of gauze
to be not disaffected by
the backs of those who consume
the refuse of worthlessness
and despise excellencies
but prefer the violations of every
virtue , whose villainy
is unconcealed on any level
considered the character
OF MAN
Salacious , drooling compounded
with the Sophistry of sophistication
Supercilious in their vanities
as rottenness to a tree
Nay , but here I seek
a palate for the delicacy
yielding tender fruit
so desirable as it’s fleeting
from a world gone course
that swallows any thoughts
of pursuing a nature
whose potency can be clearly seen
I defy your erosions
corrosion of thought and deeds
whose love is less than
rutting animals
I decry your mogul media
your grand theatrics
I have divorced you
to pursue a finer thought
I’ll pass you on the street
you will have my hello
but don’t expect to drag me
to your peers whose
consciousness is gone
even in the daytime
I will , my time
with the quality , geniality
of thoughts vibrant
of the orchestral heights
and cast your lows
into some other state
