Best Humane Poems

In the Congolese Jungle three men are training for a mission.
They train to detain and disarm poachers.
They hope this will be the conclusion of their efforts.
They also train for a formidable alternative.
Poachers are opportunistic and have only self interest.
Poaching of an entire species will break...

In 1968,
a time of great concern for healthy human civil rights
for and of women as well as LeftBrain culturally dominant men,
Gregory Bateson invited a Symposium
not quite a finished Symphony
proposing Moral and Aesthetic Structure of Human [Climate] Adaptation.

He closed his invitation to show up as follows

Human or Humane – Zamreen Zarook
 
The precious creature of the divine lord,
One differ from other as the playings of harpsichord,
Every single was a pass chord,
So as to go for their fatal reward.

Muscular system is a part,
Nervous system is an art,
Skeleton system is again a...

How is it viable that life could alter the course,
from people to people? 
What makes you quiver in the middle of the night 
to play with my agony?    
Until it is encircled by a wing of misery.   
That has decayed...

I forget who first said to me,
Language evolved consciousness,
not so much the other way around;
although it was probably Julian Jaynes.

Kant has this soft cause-effect juxtaposition reversed,
but more of an awareness before 
with after conversation really,
with his LeftBrain dominant 
I think individuating wokeness,
therefore I am

A Humane Tableau

There you are good friends
beloved and loving
joyous and kindly
each time I go by
life filled with harshness
still you say breathe in

It’s All Humane

It’s cold at night and I’m all alone
They said that this is my new home.
The metal cage and cold stone floor
I wish that I could ope the door.

Don’t know what happened, it’s plain to see
The other day I was one of three.
The sky...

Human is not humane
Though he is in provision -
To fledge pride the nation;
Yet living with fancy own bloom on.

Other's pine shakes not his vein.
What purport even defy thy majesty,
Ever eager find enjoying biting priority.
It is who seduce a gentle brain
Petty deed sweep origin blood in...

Calculating bravery, designing a plan
To conquer fear and rise above it
Emotions running high, sweat on the skin
Genetic alphabets, a faulty concealment
Pulsing circuitry, a universal connection
Astrological bees, preparing for inception
To overstand this world is not to be sane
But to demand respect, with a brush of humane...

Lacerate the boils from resplendent shades.
The skeletal wolves tremble from nose to tail.
Vomit soaked in blinded lips.
I echo the thoughts of a maniac.
But they differ greatly.
For I am more or less humane....

Who says God is invisible?
Haven’t you ever seen a child smiling with its wide open mouth?
Behind the innocent smile, you can find His move.
Innocence is God.

Who says God is invisible?
Haven’t you ever seen the hands extending alms?
Behind the hands, you can find the aura of...

It was a day for joyful tears.
                        It was a day for newborn fears.

cold hands carry my brother across my shoulder, snow bound in a blizzard,
skis have taken us in lost trails of Colorado, never so much have I shivered,

brother hit a lying branch, hidden just beneath the snow,
broken ankle, broken ribs, a broken heart all I can...

I wonder sometimes if longing 
is no more or less than misplaced belonging,
on my list of absences
that are more honestly presences
we have deferred owning right now,
you and I,
Left with Right,
without even knowing this absence from each other.

Things and relationships and transactional places 
longed for yet...

Tensions between professional teacher
or theological preacher
and therapeutic integrity
are as old as cultural wars
between knowing scientific methods
and feeling artistic expressions

InBetween noetic purpose
of LeftBrain thinking
and deep poetic meaning
of RightBrain feelings;
EgoMinds within EcoSystemic Bodies

How many times have I heard
I am a teacher
not a therapist?

How many times have we...
