Best Proportional Poems
Paradoxical PremiseStands on the land of heterodox
Who's the mightiest God of all?
People live and die on their equivocation thoughts
Those who exclaimed about the God who never fall
Inversely proportional to what they always do
Who's the mightiest God of all?
Seekers, believers, heathens and philosophers with their point of...

Why LifeWhy does dawn dress robust morning,
while dusk undresses sight?
Each dawn incarnates another Earth Day
a lifetime of Easter mornings
redeeming nocturnal sight's revolution,
another therapeutic day of gift-it-forward light,
some longer,
some shorter
before naked covered night.
Why life?
To uncover love's lift-up light
integrity's co-arising comprehensive bright.
Why love?
To discover love life...

Water's WeaknessThere is nothing weaker than water
But none is superior to it in overcoming the hard,
For which there is no substitute.
(Laotse, "Nothing Weaker Than Water", Lin Yutang, trans.)
That weakness of mind and body overcomes strength
And uniting co-gentleness overcomes uniform rigidity,
No Yang does not know;
No yin can...

Roaring TwentiesRoaring Twenties
Nostalgia and age like bacon and eggs,
With buttered toast and jam on the side for breakfast;
And coffee, and a glass of orange juice to drink,
And a memory in-between to rethink.
The day begins with boring continuance:
Of routines, platitudes, and goodwill gestures,
While accepting a life of...

Green Democratic EmpathyI don't think it's just me.
I find myself challenged to change LeftBrain cognitive beliefs,
languaged abstractions of personal feelings,
perhaps because it is not possible to change Right Brain's
Elder feelings of co-passionate trust
where dipolar co-arising positive pleasure
is not dissonant noisy pathology.
I discover this issue as more of...

I Can Clean, I Can DrivePlenty of sleep, no more tv, the wars in the Middle East
are resource wars, disguised as religious debates.
So Dad would say.

season. A Gun In Every Home, in light of U.S. mass shootings

Contenting Tree of LifeFutility of Contention
absorbs into Utility of Contentment.
To preserve wholeness, mutually accommodate;
yielding preserves whole.
To become straight, you must begin bent;
bent potentiates straight.
To become filled, its best to begin hollow;
hollow optimizes full.
To become renewed, notice...

Bilateral Creative Thinking SequelLast half of Edward de Bono's Lateral Thinking Summary, pp. 298-300, with bicameral ecological supplements [informed by Gregory Bateson] in brackets:
In ordinary traditional thinking we have developed no methods for going beyond the [suboptimally reasonable] adequate. As soon as something is [feels] satisfactory our [LeftBrain]...

Evolving Days and Revolving NightsI guess the candidates and polity saying "no"
to Earth's human refugees
during this their Thanksgiving time,
did not finish their Darwin biographies.
While endosymbiotic evolution,
indigenous to any one species,
can devolve to survival of the fittest,
this is most likely in these times
of ecosystemic crisis,
especially problems of monocultural over-population,
resulting in...

Irony of PurposeIt is funny!
Very funny how
A masked preacher can preach honesty;
And even points at the wrongs with his
Fingers of hypocritical righteousness…
We stare with grim satisfaction
Because the black winged Angel
Ridding a flaming chariot tells a tale;
And proclaims that God is love,
Yet he,...

Positive EcotherapyMy long-winding EcoTherapist began:
Dialectic Behavioral Therapy sees Stimulus/Response
both forward and backward in time,
to look for thoughts and feeling tipping points
toward more harmonic confluence,
resonant and requisite proportional behaviors
and imaginings
of what may be justly and non-violently discerned
for future reference.
Meanwhile,
Compassion Therapy looks within these same S/R behavioral events,
reconnecting...

Fantasy- the Disney Land of ImaginationsShe covets luxury so unprecedented
especially a lingerie made by a thousand hands
with sparkling diamonds out of bounds to human sight
and covers made out of a century of crafting.

and an Asian radiance and rare brilliance

Deep CoMessianic EngagementMs. Real Time,
an often engaging Taoist,
but sometimes, admittedly, not so much,
more of a disengaged cannibal really
on her dark time of before and after
her Taoist stimulating period
if you know what I winterish mean.
Anyway,
Ms. Real Time

Mr. Deep Space,
more of a revolutionary-historic Messiah
kind of a...

We Are One - Nigeria RemixWe Are One (Nigeria Remix)
Ever seen an eagle feeding like a vulture?
Dignity trampled on, where corruption is a culture?
Darkness threatens her future, cause of her shapeless structure
it’s saddening 'cause she’s been richly blessed by Mother Nature
Disunity like a knife tryna cut her apart
Of the...

Lyric
Eternity's Viral HourglassThat which is neutral,
no big deal,
normal,
not noticed,
enjoys an intimate mirror effect,
behaves and misbehaves
with the logic of eternity.
Time steers virtually clockwise,
eastern dawn toward west's setting sun,
birth through death,
with day's completion duskly hoping
for red skies at night.
Time fractally, seasonally, reasonably,
normatively, neutrally rotates through noise
dissonance
with resonant double-binding...
