Best Fattens Poems

'For I know knowledge to be such 
information as fattens memory'
.....Gregory Corso

Ahhhh...redemption!
Light sparkles off golden leaves outside 
my window this morning, that is enough!

With clear eyes I can see when storm 
clouds gather, snow sleet, or rain pour

My ears, with no filter, hear rich men...

...is what we see
Emotions are the weather of the mind
We live between peaks and troughs
The former breeds hubris with downfall built in
The latter deals with death,darkness and despair
Our mood colours our world,clouding our judgment
Darkening our souls and blocking the road to reason

We can be in...

You say your theology is descriptive and cohesive, 
But I just need to give you my concise take; 
What theology reminds me of, alludes to and objectifies,
And what cases and arguments it does make. 

Consecration is for your uncertain realisations, 
That you made from your...

1.Fill me up, I am always lacking.
Consumption, the name of the game.
The hunger devours the horse,
fattens me to the core.
I'm about to burst...
Always empty,
yet full of
loveless
fear.

2. My my what a big piece of the pie!
Pension raiders anonymous.
We live to carry secrets,
yearning to fill this need.
Profit...

Grief comes uninvited, like a marauder,
like a one man army charging,
he makes an unexpected onslaught.
A thief in the dark who comes stealthily,
without pausing to seek permission
and settles in the heart like an intruder

His stay is long and tedious.
He eats away our vitality,
sups on our vulnerability,
sucks...

I believe firm lighthouses never fail lost ships,
And the eye of the cow fattens the calf
And spiritual milk sustains the soul
And the young will learn of goals.

I believe the sea of splendor scolds and soothe
And the four winds growl, yet sing
And the rain that drowns...

Praise, a chronic disease
Ruins humanity
Increases sugar in blood
Spreads intoxicants in artery
Hangs a curtain before eyes
Hides truth.

Mind dips in self-enchanting
Always seeks false praising words
Credits
Clappings
Honours
Rewards
All treasures of materialistic world !
Mind guides the human
Mind commands the soul
Instigated by mind, human
Swims in the whirlpool of illusion
Hankers after pride and...

Please read me again
And write me a reply
So I can write again...

Brother fattens like baobab
Fat yet she thins like biltong
At displeasure, He be wordly

If not the clipper in the Saharan grasslands 
Then brother be the zipper to fasten the ethos 
Afrika mourns of today. Lamentation the dry
Ingredient to our sorrows that craft dispare.
Look at how they fattens alike baobab fat yet
I'm proudly a street hustler, bustling trickster 
Thins...

Their spears did not get heavy,
flower blooms did not sprout from barrels.
Some chew on ancient bullets, many captured themselves.
In dark allies a switchblade blindness entered their hearts.
Everything is a memory.
The living kill awkwardly, randomly with great kindness
a kindness that poisons the tongue, a sweetness
that fattens...

and the truth is, the truth is
there is no such thing as the perfect poem
syllable count and line and verse
the poet lays out his tools to show them
his best rhymes and worst to curse

and the truth is, the truth is
there is no subject worthy of...

P utting their own needs ahead of everything
O penly raping the middle class
L iving the lifestyle of royalty at taxpayer expense
I nterested in only that which fattens their wallets
T aking from everyone to satisfy their gluttonous egos

Humans, long a self-seeking breed,
Oft concoct love foreseeing need.
With tender grass lush green 
Does a butcher fatten
His sheep in his own selfish greed.
