Premium Member Star Trek's Star: Captain Kirk Aka William Shatner
Captain Kirk, an adventurous guy,
flew through galaxies beyond earth’s sky
on an old sci-fi show
which was canceled although
crazy fans would not let Star Trek die!

First for having the Captain Kirk name,
William Shatner achieved certain fame.
Illusions can shatter;
though older and fatter,
Shatner still is a STAR all the...

Premium Member Energy Democracy V Fascism
I suppose
cannibalism
is the logical conclusion
of rabidly overpopulated fascism.

Some cannibals,
perhaps all,
ate their human prey
not for typical nutritional reasons
like other forms of digested nature,
but more specifically
because those dining
hoped their prey's sacred powers
would thereby become their own,
conjoining for their unilateral augmentation,
like fascism.

At first blush
this sounds like appalling inhumane...

Premium Member Three Davids I Have Known
David the First

In an old photo
I’m being bathed by a boy
   looking quite bashful. . .
the first young man to hold me -
my mother’s only brother.

David Bunker

My first love note came
from junior high’s smartest guy -
   shy freckled David,
future doctor of...

Premium Member Universal Stories
All of us,
or nearly all,
have had both spiritual experience
and some religious teaching,
sometimes from prophetic pulpit ScriptureSpeakers
and sometimes through more maternal StoryTellers,
and all immersed in prodigal parables
bridging gaps
between internal spiritual experience
of nutritional love through toxic hate,
ecocentric good through egocentric evil
and sad,
and religious instructions
about how to do...

Premium Member Pipe Dream
The team of Richard Rodgers and Oscar Hammerstein displayed prowess.
It seemed everything they produced would be a success.
There was triumph for some Broadway shows nobody could deny.
They included “Oklahoma”, “State Fair”, and “The King and I”.
Two more melodious plays that were absolutely terrific
were the widely-heralded...

Disability Advocacy
It's funny how one might look down upon disability
And not regard it as an integral part of the society 
Only for then to realize that in us still lies the ability
To cast a vote, and take part in changing the society 

Cause a vote once...

Premium Member Smokin' Joe Bonamassa
(Edited; I had left out a line)
Smokin’ Joe Bonamassa

What’s in a name? Well, I think a last name
like Bonamassa sure sounds really cool.
This guy I’d never heard of has some fame!
He learned to play by 4, and not in school,
and then by twelve, the kid...

She
She who walks in devastation of her own
confrontation, in relations to the upsets of
immoral motivation.
Clueless is she to the law of lifes nominations, 
Complications in her search for the right
denominations.
Others denounce her will
Always trying to steal a deal, 
Yet actions of her kind will oneday...

Premium Member Extreme Unctions
Today I have been comparing and contrasting Bernie Sander's and Donald Trump's political and economic motives
for seeking their respective Party nominations.

Senator Sanders and Chief Corporate Executive Officer Trump
began with intent to become The Nominee,
we might presume.
But is that it?
What would a win mean exactly
for our...

Premium Member Meta Paradigm
Verbal thoughts of LeftBrain polynomials
follow feelings not not RightBrain polyphonic 
when both respect our interdependent polypaths,

Because harmonic feelings,
unlike thoughts of flight or fight,
are much more fleeting
effluently failing and fading away,
while midway winning and gaining toward
RightBrain autonomically faster than plodding LeftBrain calculations
nominations
labeling stagnations
enthymematically static staging stations.

Slower...

Senate To Win It
10 29 08

Senator Obama said it's time for a change
While Senator McCain lashes out about his age
Obama's cool-calm and collected
He never let's his opponent see him break a sweat
Athough McCain says that he's still a babe and not ripe enough yet
Obama has proven over and...
