Best Councils Poems


Prince of This World
Prince of this world,
you've meddled in the affairs of mankind
since the beginning
From the time of the Egyptian pharaohs,
whose gigantic pyramidal tombs
had been built primarily by slave labor
A living testament to man's ingenuity and cruelty
Then you were behind the Assyrian reign,
carnage was the calling card hallmark

The Lady of Labyrinth
In light of locution 
whispers
dance delicately off her lips
"Lux Vitae"

Tree of Life, 
Trinity, 
tribal councils conferred 
the coffers, re-offers
enriched and enhanced
erectus
three times three

smoke rises from the ash
and anew you glow
a river of gold
connecting
the body to the soul

blue of sky 
the sun of spirit's eye
beheld
in fate...

Sacred Earths Tiny Dancer

Arise, My Beloved! I say, Arise, My Love!
For you are a Sacred Dancer
In the Great Spirit's grand and glorious ceremony—
A hallowed space where
Ancient mountains spirited stories in stone.

Valleys cradle the songs of hidden streams,
Their banks are a living topiary of green medicine.
Autumn...

Ask a swallow why he nests

I know you invited the Brothers to side-line along,
but only if we are here to listen;
Don't speak.

Yet I may have credential for qualifying voice.
For I, like some of you,
know what it means to develop cooperative,
too often dissonantly competing,
multicultural enriching relationships
with our African-American husbands and lovers.

Premium Member The Snail Will Get To Easter Just As Soon
Faulkner's comment, I imagine him
tossing it off like Yogi Berra between games
of a doubleheader. The hero, the expert, the virtuoso
has no real control, is going to feel
unmitigated, unsparing forces, a mighty sun
swallowed by a black hole, coughed up into a big sky.
The past isn't dead....

Premium Member Jesus Told Me
Jesus taught and lived
Those who follow the Way
Truth
Life, rather than punishing death,
would be known
by our love,
especially for our enemies.

He did not say, or live,
Those who punish themselves and others with death threats
and war planning
and technology design
and nihilistic absence of healthy purpose
would be TruthLivers
known as restorative...

I'm driving through such beauty, this lush rural countryside. I find it hard to believe that my

Premium Member Exegesis of Original Intent
The ugly head of the Original Intent issue
co-arises with what were our ForeFather Patriarchal Patriots
thinking and feeling to leave out prohibitions against antiChristian degeneracy,
and to put in permissions for antiChristian degeneracy.

No.
Wait.
That's not right.
We could not have inherited EnlightenmentEra Democracy's Constitutional Law to intentionally include permissions...

Peasants of the Playbook

You’re peasants of the playbook
Yet you think you know the reason
For the failure of the team
That does the best it can this season

And, massing in the mews
You’ve raised the mewl to a mew
Questioning the mastery
Of a coach as good as two

Written in the Greek language.

I was bruised by dogmatically non-evangelical
Christ monotheistic Jehovah judgmental bad faith
of divine powers

to generously create love
