  The hapless human stares at a screen...

Sit down and listen
As i hasten
To explain
What no car, jet, or plane
Can take you from.
So why don't you come
And listen to my explanation of.
The hierarchy of love.
First and foremost
Is the post
Of Queen and King.
Now listen as i sing
A song of love,
That glorious thing from above
That...

There was a man named Maslow, who designed
a hierarchy of needs for every soul.
Foremost are the physiological.
Without food, water or sleep, we can’t be whole.

The other major needs are in this order:
Number 2: security; Third: love and belonging.
Fourth involves confidence and respect of others.
Are there...

Violence under anarchy
Anarchy under my screams
Screams under a mental breakdown
Breakdown under chronic daydreams
Dreams under an uprising
Uprising under retribution
Retribution under pain
Pain under God
God under Me....

The body’s needs are few
Maslow got it right
Air, food, and water
Nourishment, reproduction for life

When all needs are quenched
And the stomach is full
Why is the drive still so alive?
Why do we do what we do?

Is that why I crave?
Is that why I’m on fire?
Insatiable are the...

With ill feet
I walk, staggering to the truth
Praying for strength Not hope
My faith has no eyes.

Blind to the fact that there are more out there
Like myself, who feel Her, 
Crumbling beneath sick feet
Join, hand-in-hand, and tell her it will NOT be ok.

That we're here, and...

Das papa anathema & furor he hiss toward patriarchal hierarchy

Courtesy mine eldest sister Amelie

All the once were lambs thought they were bigger than the truth
     And used their teeth and their strength to harm those smaller than
        themselves.

About 600 BC sailors went down the East African shore
A Pharoah had sent them, afraid of an oncoming war
They rounded the coast at the African horn
Astonished at what they saw that morn.
The sun arced in the north, it just couldn’t be
The earth was flat in...

Charlie was a gentleman
yielding to her wants;
always first to eat
jumped ahead in line.

Felisha was her name;
first, before he joined.
Ranking ruled her mind-
so he must obey.

Letting her steal treats
and his favorite lap;
passing him in halls
while bopping his head.

She died at thirteen.
He lived until twenty-
missing her so...

To be truly and deeply Confucian,
we don’t need a refined constitution.
Just obey mom and dad.
Choose the good — not the bad.
Serve the Emperor, S/shun revolution....

I’m a boy living in a country where
We get emotional over every government move
And every government move is chartered over our emotions
Emotions are chastised whether it or let be
One trying to correct the wrong,
But nay, one man ain’t a power as strong
One trying to convince...

If we could look back to those neolithic times, 
    When early man would walk and roam.
There was a need for some kind of leadership
    Or hierarchy, whether away or at home.

My guess is that they looked to the...
