Hear ye, hear ye: Listen to my timeless presentation
If you'd like to conquer anger, irritation, or vexation.

My name is Emerson, Ralph Waldo if you please,
I founded Transcedentalism, creating a fresh breeze
Which elevates and fortifies an individual's will and spirit,
To withstand provocations intended expressly to smear...

No Good Deed Goes
NO GOOD DEED GOES UNPUNISHED

JOHN M. ARRIBAS


SAY ADIEU TO EUROPE AS IT EDDIES TO THE DRAIN
THE DEMISE WILL BE SLOW  WITH BLOOD WITH PAIN
THERE IS AN INVASION ALL EUROPE IS UNDER SIEGE
BY DEDICATED JIHADISTS DISGUISED AS REFUGEES
THEY WILL SLOWLY COLONIZE INTO URBAN CENTERS
OBEYING ...

Donald Trump 's Ironic Speeches
President Donald Trump's ironic speeches, 
When President Donald Trump was portraying some hidden agendas of some African countries publicly. 
Some old Africans leaders thought of provocations
 and insults but the young Africans leaders 
welcomed all his ironic speeches
about Africa on the  face of the World.
Many...

Premium Member In My Doll House
It's not about me,i know
You're just being polite.
It's not about you,
As i've been told,
You've never been right
In my doll house.

It's not about myself
My superior intelligence
Not your articulate speech
Nor your erect carriage
It's about our distinct sort of kind
We are both human beings.

Composed in related times
We may...

10:43:26 AM 
And ten weeks later 
You'd be gone
But your socks 
Are still here
You looked so bad when you left
Barefoot without a care,
Solitaire

The blanket you wore 
You had sworn you'd tear
Before you'd leave again
All tattered and alone
Without a thought for your own
Pursued by thrushes
And their...

One Man's Sin...
Giant long claw like tentacles
Slithering through the brush
Plowing past homes in a hush
Undenyably intentional

Inteligence bent inside he's fewer
Satiated coherent and sensible
Charisma that's so apprehensible
Invisible man ...an escaping lure

His wickedness blasts sex's bite
Under a dim light he digs a hole
A lost man inside his own soul
Hardly...

Premium Member Hot In a Careless Way
I’m hot in a careless way,
Like a barn fire, or a stolen Mercedes.
I’m the B-side of a 45
That never got much air play
Except at the request of lonely girls 
Sitting home on prom night
With thin slivers of moonlight
Slipping through their drapery
To caress their disappointments.

I’m an...

Premium Member Winning War Against Self
Grievous battle with carnality
Sore spiritual vexation day and night
Beseeching victory’s finality
I yield to God* to reach righteousness' height!

Vanquishing self-glorying dominance
In arena of service-stewardship
Midst self-esteem’s prevailing arrogance
I cleave to the Lord’s zealous partnership.

Overcoming lustful provocations
I’m driven by prayed-braced holiness’ bout
Though fainting, to soar against temptations
Holding on...

once invisible (alice in) chains shucked
when soul no longer kept linkedin

while formerly shed body electric

actually a prodigy, whose outlook 
arouses suspicions regarding him...

Premium Member Healing Systemic Trauma
Can you make any sense of
systemic racism?

No more common sense than
too much patriarchalism--
all leftbrain-rightwing dominant things
oppressing sacred Earth's
polycultural win/win systems
promoting resiliently wealthy
resonant synergetic health

Care given
as received
in fruitful wombs,
like apple cores in transition
from refuse
toward rebirth

Maybe an EarthTribal positive prejudice
not associating Yang courageous energy
with evil supremacist paternalism

The Pride of the Pen
Inanimate as I am
With my blood I irrigate Leaves
And leave indellible
Traces of time and brains
Under the breath of literary colours

Breathless though I am
To abstracts, I give soul

I have trod horror paths
I have witnessed the ugly boast of crime
In heights and in depths
I have seen the...

Kenya
Its sad uncouth satanic
Aware and unawares executed
Don’t prick my eyes unless you blind
Lets all wake up clean our ears
Its all in airwaves lest you damn
Said provocations through unwashed teeth
To bring down God’s effort of peace
Accept your old age and lost battle
Let the chosen anointed do...
