Best Principle Poems
What they do, they all know.
They breadcrumb, sugarcoat,
they love-bomb, gaslight,
or sometimes just hoover or go with the flow.
But I cry and try till the end,
losing self-reliance, going insane;
because later I don't wanna feel sorry.
I can't live with a heavy chest full of thoughts of hurting others,
I don't wanna live with a repenting memory.
I can't let my head to bow
in guilt, in fear, in sin...
thus, I never leave, I outgrow.
There once was a particle in space
Who moved at a leisurely pace.
He measured his speed
but Heisenberg didn't heed
And lost track of his place.
Explainer:
If you are not a scientist or science enthusiast, Heisenberg's uncertainty principle is one of those fundamental properties of nature which means that you can measure position or momentum not both! Fortunately, this effect only becomes prominent with very small objects.
My loving wife is a woman who’s just not inclined to flatter
Mine pointed out I’m not so serious about things that don’t matter
But I read between the lines of what she thought she meant
Her unintended words of praise, were actually heaven sent!
Plus, a golden opportunity that seemed just right
To ‘splain to the kiddos why I’m not so dang uptight:
“I apologize, I’m well aware, your dad is such an oddity
See, middle-aged energy is such a limited commodity
“If I expend my efforts worrying about everyone’s chit-chatter
Then I will not have said energy when it really matters!
So, do you think I’m such an unrelenting doofus at work?
Well, sometimes, but you can be darned sure I never shirk.
"And here’s the point that I hope all you kiddos apprehend
Someone who doesn’t like your happiness is hardly a good friend.
Just keep your eyes on the prize, who God made you to be
Grow your heart to love yourself; you can be truly free!”

No Principle Stands Alone
Stand tall with blade worn openly for all to see
give kindness when its richly due
The true worth is not in the height of a tree
rather it is in the fruits it bears that we use.
Never yield to complacency or fear of condemnation
instead act in a way that shows honor rightly obeyed
Seek not false and ever so hollow admiration
rather pursue a righteous foundation firmly laid.
Do that and hope will hold you to a true course
despite the stony path you must then tread
Fear not the troubles the fools heartily endorse
Life will reward your honor greatly instead.
Two things a man should never dare to lose.
Precious Hope and the Courage to fight to choose!

Freedom of speech is not what we want to hear
Freedom of speech is harsh criticism we bear
Let the critics speak without fear
Freedom of speech is the fundamental principle of expression
Let's not oppress speakers by giving them concession.
Note. Abusive language is inappropriate.
Born we are flesh, a self being with ego
On a place where what was done once ago
Shall reap its effect always and forever more
The way of investigation, wisdom will implore
Born on an earthly platform, gravity is what we’re held by
Everything changes, even God can’t stop the wheel in the sky
We can’t cling on, not even to a husband or wife
A principle in how one can live his or her life
Let us not sit by the riverbank, on an even flow let's be
Inexpressible, no self but every being is a philosophy
The middle way we must follow—nothing more nothing less
Continue or stay on a course of impermanent happiness
Here, now, enlightened with values, morals, reborn
With a principle of letting go—ego shorn
Lo the gentleness of your gesture
makes the spring leaves harmonized whistles
waving arms of the sturdiest of stump (and thistles)
If there were a thump (supposed)
who would know- which way it goes
the sound an old riddle play
or if a fury creature lay
his clump in a natural way
Many have sought and not found
answers to life's questions
both silly and profound
Obtain a regenerative yield,
a positive,
rather than negative, feedback loop,
better than a dissonant feedback screech
of mental v physical madness,
politically powering parties become monotheistic mobbing beatdowns,
economic corporations become cancerous hoarders,
churches designed by and for
hierarchical caste inequalities of mind v body irresponsibility
for plutocratic calculating authorities, dogmatically hetero,
male dominant
and don't even ask caste preserving them
to start thinking outside their god-given gangs
about transgenderal nurturing opportunities
within Earth's nondual co-arising Paradise
at hand.
How do we distinguish
between a healthy garden and a weed patch?
By nurtured nutritional outcomes,
positive yield,
inclusively diversifying so more robust profit
growing healthy wealth polyculturing potential,
including harvesting of seeds and bulbs
for our next even more cooperatively self-governing regeneration.
How do we distinguish
between a church or temple or synagogue
and a courthouse?
As above.
How do we distinguish
between playing with abundant cooperative vocations
and working against competing scarcity?
Same answer,
where seeds and bulbs
are cooperative,
organic,
unfold reverse-hierarchically, from within,
composed of complex interdependent relationships
which nutritionally enable together
Earth's Common Cooperative Garden
producing positive nutritious yields
Health wealthing again,
for future faithful self-with-other
ego/eco balancing
regenerators,
doing our best to obtain a positive every-day
at-home
responsible yield for us, together
cooperatively-held, owned, governing,
nurturing and nutritious
common-sensed neurological authorities.
The First and Second Principles of Permaculture Design:
Capture and Reinvest
associative and productive yields
and not so much the other yucky
dissociative debris
and dismay.
a fool i was
thinking
were my sights trained
someplace else
far away
i will be free
then there is
the principle of dipoles
where one tends to align
attract
itself to an
opposed polarity
she came from somewhere south
helpless irises
are drawn to
a divinity placed on a podium
by everyone else
who was i anyway
north pole attracted to the south
my sights were trained
thinking
a fool i was
Nature shaped the earth into the sphere
While leaving each piece of parts flats
To offer individual life places to grow
While rotating around the sun as a whole
For all individuals can thus equally share
The glare of brightness, warmth of the sunlight
And the calm of darkness, coolness of the night
Silver clouds floating high and drifting
In the sky, distributing rain, snow, and news
To quench the thirst of every life facing
And secure them happily growing
The wind is playing longing tunes
For fairness, justice, the yearning
For quality and gracious life to come
Nature is indeed charitable to everyone
Sharing rains and dew evenly to each land
Sunbeam is also assigned with the same lines
Chaining up sincerity and honesty hearts
And flowing streams of warmth hand to hand
The wind rises, and white clouds wander
They are guarding no one in the earthly world
Wiling to act against the provisions of nature
They are spreading the news of the future
That Heaven will arrive behind a United World
And the charming visions will emerge
Before, lives are going to live forever
I persist to reach your heart, resist selfish dart, insist truth-love*'s part.
*1 John 4:7 - Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.

Science does much, gets stuck flat
Who made that, and that, and that?
If most of what IS, is dark matter
Who made it? Gravity is our detector
But we don't know much of this Matter

Think of Post- Newton science, no laws
Hold in the world smaller than protons!
Quantum particles can become waves
When certainty leaves, everything behaves
how FineTuner wanted. Best Law, love, His!

The KISS Principle!
When ‘rich’ think life’s their oyster, ‘cultured pearls’ establish worth,
and ‘folks who pray’ think heaven’s theirs because of ‘selfless’ acts,
when poverty’s a cloak saints wear to hide their tarnished souls,
and ‘men of god’ extort flocks to build monuments as proof
of creds, credulity gets stretched beyond Creation’s stars.
Does treasure grow in heaven through such vanity as this?
Are heaven’s mansions built by us (through acts on earth) or God?
Humility suggests additions you can make to Grace?
Is letting God’s love shine through you a path to future space
that’s in His will, shows love for Truth, if God exists or not?
Some will maintain I say too much, but that’s not so, for mirth,
the joy a faithful servant knows (who serves the truth) impacts
one’s neighborhood as well when love makes blessings come to pass:
your joke helps friends with move / storm shelter’s found - a stranger’s roof /
a neighbor’s helped to change a flat (one-offs of kindness - soft guitars) /
a war avoided with a smile (life’s better when we KISS)!
Do loving acts occur unnoticed? Wouldn’t that be odd?
A child skins knees! You kneel, “Are you OK?” Observe result.
Do kindnesses extended to another serve a cult?
Those blessed who live to see God’s smile: My guess? God courts the lot!

Poet's Notes:
The KISS principle means "Keep It Simple Stupid." In Physics, as in life, preference is often given to new theories that are less complicated when possible, that are beautiful in some way. There is a prejudice toward the idea that God, the Universe perhaps, wants to be understood.
