Future's Historical Oracle
Oh what fun it is to watch the surreptitious actions
of the globalist  elite,

And the open mouthed innocent ignorance of
their following sheep.

Feeding the pseudo enlightened masses 
An Epulaeryu of lies,

on their table labeled “comfort zone”,
readily digested as alibis,

courses as to why the unethical repetitively 
Nation...

A HISTORICAL EVENT

It happened over 2,000 years ago
But the story is still being told
About a man that you may know
A man great to behold

Considered by some to be shunned
Yet by others, He was adored
His miracles caused some to be stunned 
By others, His feats were...

Sun spots glow on saucer eyes
thrown as green disks to the sea~

Fall gently, so gently on mirroring waves
of reflections I once thought were me....

In These Historical Times
You aren't anybody to the plinth in the workforce.
Of course, I know of your success.
My money does not have anything to do with you; therefore, why negate a 
     nation’s wealth.
If you just would abide by the Constitution, your achievements are...

There is an ancient resort at the wooded site
of Mohonk Mountain House, where olden times invite
us to enjoy a beauty that is not finite;
the woods and paths within this silvan setting cite,
a charmed, venerable retreat of pure delight.

Mysterious, how lake reflections show the...

Historical Rivalry-Part 1- Leonardo Vs Michaelangelo
A war between David and Monalisa,
Continued even after Last supper and Last Judgment,
The two great Renaissance men – Leanardo Da Vinci and Michelangelo 
The creators of murals also the heroes of  healthy quarrels,
The men who knew the values of art,
I wonder! why they failed...

Historical Reflections
The Emperor has four hundred wives
with flower faces framed by jet.
Mai Lin can pluck a thousand tunes,
Yin Feng knows all erotic arts.
They drink spiced wine in jasper cups
as the snow beats against the windows;
the mob outside is howling for grain.
The Son of Heaven orders...

Premium Member Absolute Truth: How Can it Be?
Absolute truth, both mystery… and paradox. 
“You make me wonder if you exist or not?”

The Greeks glimpsed you in circles and squares,
The medievals revered you in scriptures and prayers,
The moderns doubted you in so many facts and proofs.

Absolute truth 
     your...

Harlem Renaissance Haiku
Near nice allies need
to confront this beast in the 
moment to be brave.

Not in a memoir 
when you’re 75 and 
few feet from the grave. 

For colored people 
and all people of color
start a whining wave.

Why do we still fight
for the same civil rights of...

In her times alone, she spent it in adoration
