Premium Member His Inaction
So... she loves you

but must leave too

a frightening thought

yet, one so true

A book she writes

dedicated to you

in return she received

a mere line or two

Her doubts confirmed

by this blatant inaction

no plea for forgiveness

or promise of retraction

Lay ...

You imbibe the diatribe,
quaffing the jibe for a bribe
to remain silent and acquiescing. 

Struck mute to suit
your unfussed cowardice
in failing to speak up,
when you know the throng is wrong like you
to remain silent, 
a seething flock in shock.

Inertia, inherent, 
in the same inane inaction....

No Satisfaction With Inaction
No Satisfaction With Inaction

We really do lack having satisfaction,
Due to governments glaring inaction;
Arms with ammo,
All should go;
Not doing duty did cause a distraction.

Created this after hearing some of the
South Florida high school students.

Premium Member The Inaction of Actions
The Inaction of Actions 

Grandma, 
always told me to be kind. 
She told me never to forget. 
she told me to always do my best.

Grandpa, 
said much the same thing.
Yet he would also question...
Was I kind?
If I was not. 
I should always remember;
to be kind....

Active inaction, bliss thunder
At play, within our form
Liquid light, luminous wonder
Divine magnetism warm 

Soma nectar dripping
Heart elixir sipping
Rapture, oh so gripping

Deep meditation 
Active inaction

Premium Member Action In Inaction
Swirling currents within at play
Bliss mist bubbles making heart sway
Why would we choose to transcend form
When rapture unbound’s here to stay

Touch of God, both tender and warm
Gently inner glow does transform
Mind-body, soul and spirit one 
Imbibe elixir of love swarm

INACTION
The chubbiness of your dense casing 
Is an insulator indeed
The small still voice is hindered permeate
The depth of a copious essence
A mind never regenerated
In new known ways to profit
Hence your way is wood as you cuddle it
Time’s river drowning dreams afar shore
As you trot in...

Letting Go and Calmly Witnessing All
Letting Go and Calm Witnessing

When U have no solution
You tried it all; Fate Insists you fall. You no longer stand tall
Such moments come often
We try to forget the falls - feeling nothing, helps find your nobodyness
If we hold up a "failure at Solution"
That moment is...

Premium Member General Failures In Australia
Nonsense feeders, just useless
Impeders, slow and lazy in a walk
To cake, sluggish decievers wasting
Space; even though theres plenty of
It  they still waste it we're sure of it
Coulden't they be in canary yellow?
So all could avoid the stupid fellows.'
Have they got familiy? Who'd own
These bums,...

Premium Member The Silent Feast
Corruption reigns while silence is served.
We hone their knives with indifference,
keep polishing their plates with our fatigue.
The reckless and the cruel—
they feast well, for the tables are laid.
A democracy isn’t taken;
it’s surrendered, a napkin at a time.
We end the banquet by taking the plates away....

Life Is Too Short To Be Wasted By Want of Action
Sometimes you feel without aim
Yet all the time want your name 
To bear moment and some fame
It feels awful to be game
To fate’s arrow that lands lame
And wants you just to be tame
Inaction’s an evil maim...

Sand Timer
Complacency is like a sand timer,
each grain a moment slipping 
through, a slow trickle of 
potential, filling the void 
of inaction, until the last 
grain falls, and we 
find ourselves in 
the stillness, 
staring at the 
empty glass,
haunted by 
the echoes 
of time gone,
wondering 
where...

I Fear
I fear many things.
I fear I stay complacent in my own misery.
Time is of the essence,
yet action for change is unattainable 

And I speak of change possible for myself,
which is perhaps the most upsetting point to note,
for my limits are set on a glass roof...
