Best Lexicons Poems

A dispenser of dishonest vice, a peddler of blatant lies,
In his unscrupulous realms, nobility of truth sadly dies,
Where righteous vibes of morality and decency agonize;
Where benevolence cries, pensive in verity’s demise.

Masked in aura of dubious eyes, spurious is his smile,
Hiding deceptions of his charismatic, charlatan...

Quote: The forest is my loyal friend. A Delphic shrine to me.
Ralph Waldo Emerson
------------------------------------------------------------------------

The forest is my sanctuary, a sphere of peace, a realm of solace,
Dwelling in equanimity, conjuring serenity harmonious, flawless;
Where my heart sings, humming hymns, lauding a tranquil place,
Ringing soul’s sacred bells, echoing...

Rather than Ten Commandments,
beginning with loving YHWH,
iconically accessible and yet mysterious
as ecosystemic Earth,
Native Americans
and perhaps all original people
mutually deploy Original Instructions,
both matriarchal and patriarchal,
intended to become prescriptive
only as the Golden Rule of cooperative learning
grows descriptive for each one listening
for how these creation and self/other management...

You might have noticed that:

Trumpsky has favorite words in his limited vocabulary 
"Believe it" and "YUGE" are redundancies in his formulary 

But TV Talking Heads have their own words too
When one has an unusual word the others follow anew 

"Hacking" of course has been around...

My abecedarian fingers
Numb to their recalculations and lexicons
I brush slimly my thumb through each
And clasp myself in fives or nines

It sinks its full weight like an equivocate clasp
One gaucherie to an eldritch comeuppance 
A padlock lip nimble and pivoted like sickness
Delicate but ultimately dependent upon...

Poet and saint Dunstan was great, pushed in a cesspool.'
He arose.' He survived he was no fool.' Archbishop  He would be'
Counsel to Kings. Often gave he! humble yet strong he
Ordered lexicons studied songs, grabbed Satan's nose; with
Hot tongs.' From his cell of five feet...

I know languages count by silent lexicons

I know oceans measure by waving hands

I know serpents poison by miseries

I know clouds mould by whispers

I know rivers clutter by sediments

I know oaks augur by heights

I know blood oils by fossils

I know epics endure by echoes

I know ashes...

Chinue Achebe
You are the moon of Africa' night tale,
You are the muse, the pen and the mood
A thousand brave waves of the blacks
I write through the galaxy of your stars here.


Wole Soyinka
Your words birthed my strength and muse
Searching the light through your eyes
I am indebt...

I see their faces on billboards & posters
with democrat's smiles they flatter their figures
they do not paint their mastiff & slavers
The constellations of their idle ideals is missing in their pictures.

I sank back in my sofa, watching my television
pondering on the theme and thrust and...

From the very depths of my inner being I cherish  poetry,
without the written verse I’d  be impoverished as a person,
literary projects spur me on to otherworldy epic peaks,
an open channel with furtherance from lexicons endowed,
golden opportunity for human pathos rich and fair,
stomach-wrenching pain,...

God

One word
Oh Poets join me in my thirst for words
There is only one
And in the mastery of language mysteries
Carried on with feeble soul to find 
To speak of that which I do not know
And set it here
In light of day
No start no finish
So simple
Disease, pestilence,...

Choose moment foiled 
Over moment gone or none.
Penance paid all bard alas anon.
Bars of boxcars rolling down 
Canals of clotted wax;
These are the facts 
As I know them to be; 
Sum total me.

Scratch barleycorn 
For earth and inch for truth.
All tiny, tiny words 
In huddled...

Biographies of different kinds
Orwell with Atwood, intertwined
Old books, new books, a thousand rhymes
Keeping their words, holding those lines
Singing caged birds, sit whistling chimes
Histories, mysteries, marking time
Every volume, fixed on my mind
Lexicons, for a world we can't find
Fact versus fiction, yours and mine.

They sowed chaos to claim their peace.
A few wars to realize their dreams.
They sell chains wrapped in freedom’s guise,
Spitting laws applied only to the weak.

They paint bombs in the colors of morality,
Parade mirages with a legal varnish.
The Empire speaks in slogans, numbers, rules,
While the poor...
