Best Ra Poems
Salome just loved gingerbread
But Herod misheard what she said
Who wants a dead head
To bounce in their bed?
So she dashed to the John instead

Ra the Sun God
Ra Ta came to Egypt with old Thoth,
10, 000 years before the Jesus cross,
The great flood had been and gone,
Thoth, Mercury and Hermes were one.
Built the Great pyramid, they did,
Hermes the architect, stones were bid.
Perfect square of line were they,
Levitation, rocks, did float the way.
Later Ra Ta was worshipped,
as the sun god Ra,
things he bid, marvels did,
still are there, today.
Kunkel says the Pyramid is a pump,
lighted candle,
Under a glass,
vacuum sucks up the water,
Pyramid has some secret class.
Anubis, Jackal God of death,
Gate keeper, soul to caress,
Would guide your free spirit,
To Osiris, if you were pure
evil fate, Ammit endure.

Creations of yesterday
the ignorant ones
who follow illusions
Abu Nuwas saw the truth
he lived in pleasures
at the caliphs palace
both flirtatious and aloof
he mocked the righteous
in a glass of fermented grapes
the screams only came later
the little ones ignored
a darkness of tears
The sunrise was like a fertilized egg
golden of yolk and flecked with blood,
it crowed to the mist filled morn.
It ran over the hillside frying the vegetation.
The brilliant white albumen flowed
into the vague gray day.
The egg itself blushed at the flattery
extending pseudo pods of white
like rays outward against
the steel gray of the frying pan
it's yolk congealed a burgeoning
like the celestial eye of Ra.
Sun RA Rockets to Mars/Tony Adamo/2000
Sun Ra rockets to Mars/ landing with his Arkestra by way of his supersonic jazzhip ship/
The red dust be a flyin’ below his dancen’ feet/
The heliocentric world of Sun Ra comes to the red planet
Sun Ra is a true jazzophonic citizen and the first musician to probe deep space/
He is a high tech hitchhiker among the stars with knowledge of the heavens above taken from the Egyptian pyramids below/
SING BRIDGE
Get on board the Sun Ra space cruiser/
Get on board we’ll travel the space ways together/
Get on board for bebop, jazz and beyond/
Dig the flight with Sun Ra leading the way/
Message from Sun Ra calling from Saturn and the milky way/
Message from” sonny”/
I’ve long left my earthly ways at Delmark,ESP,Saturn and Black Saint records/
My free jazz spacealicous music can be heard in between the layers of cosmic space to the galactic beyond
I bring you the healing force of the universe/
Space is the place
Oh yeah man talkin bout Sun Ra
The first space cruiser to dig outer space
That cat was beyond heavy
We don’t even know if he was born on this planet earth
Sun-Ra the first space cruiser to dig outer space
The first galactic man
See that sun a shinnin’
Right in back of your face
Sun-Ra space is the place
Yeahh Sun Ra doin his thing now
That creazy kind of galactic tripped out music
Bumpin ya rollin ya
ad lib vamp out (sing)Space is the place
Words from Tony Adamo’s CD,Miles of Blu
Ankh Amon - Ra
Morning to the gateway of the sun
Set between lantern sea skies
The magic of those Egyptian eyes
Their incantation has begun
Turning worlds of one
Washes through my mind
Azure beaches in the cloud
Focus zenith hidden in the line
Where night has drawn her time
By the sanctum of the free
Ancient memories
Settle with antediluvian leaves
Pages in their wings
Roll through centuries
Turning worlds of one
Waves mystic in my mind
Azure beaches in the skies
And the keening Earth resounds
Draws their message to the ground
The flights are on their way
Silken veils where lovers pray
Temple pillars shafting from the shade
Tuning worlds of one
Their incantation has begun
Sonic oscillation in my mind
Azure beaches in the sky
Sustaining the passage in the lines
Where night once drew her time
Their flight is on its way
When quiet lovers pray
Shaping temples through the clouds
Dancing constellations to the ground
Between the sun skies sea
The inner sanctum of the free
Turning worlds of one
This incantation has begun
Ta-ra-ra Boom-de-ay
It’s Happy Mother’s Day
Mom stays in bed all day
while we all swing and sway
We serve her brunch in bed
not much to munch, it’s Bad!
Then we break all the dishes
and feed the cat goldfishes
We go outside and play
in a big lightning storm
The baby’s electrocuted
Ha-ha, can't cry now, he’s muted
Into the basement we sneaked
to take an illegal peak
at crazy dad’s latest experiment
Mom's wedding ring's now rubber cement
Time to take Mom to dinner
We picked a real winner
Too bad the place closed last year
They served great pickles and beer
Well, that wraps up Mother’s Day…
'Til a tornado blows our house away
Mom cries uncontrollably
~ Thanks for the memories
The hordes of defection await
Obscurity indulges their silence
Abruptly, I am lost within my own recollection
Feverishly trying other hearts
My brain seizes its choler
It bathes in the solace of grief
Disgruntled, I await ambition
Deciphering each notion, towards alienation
The separated seconds loathe me
I fall between my somber thoughts
Deserted, my will vexes me
As I tumble into oblivion
I am at a loss of words and will--
This silence drifts into my mind
I conjure a pool of empathy
[Pretending that I am no different]
My demons bathe under my skin
For, my heart is their tyrant--
I am persecuted by my vacant will
With-held from my embittered perception...
Mighty Ra.
Through the sky
Thy benign presence journeys
Unto us thy glory to dole
Thy aureole, a hollowed
Light radiates.
And into our burden
Darkened psyches
It permeates to illuminate
And unto our entirety
Healing to bring.
To thee,in worship
Our knees bend
For none else,but thou
Mighty Ra
Could these deeds wrought.
In glory art thou robed
And in majesty crowned.
Rock of ages, immortal art thou.
Thy hands, mighty art.
For,by them,all things became.
In battle,by them,
Thy raging foes abseiled,
Firm the cosmos stands
And in tranquility remains.
Even the eerie night
With myriads of eyes
That sees not
In battle before thee roared,
But, beneath the anger of
Thy hallowed light it
submerged,
The morn, a tale of
Thy conquest it tells.
And on thy eastern throne
In glory thou,eternally sits.
Mighty Ra.
(Ra is an Egyptian sun god)
Bastet
crouches in
dimly lit corridors
of the Egyptian temple
Her marble black skin
shimmering pools
incandescent green orbs
lit with altar fire
Feline Goddess
of the Nile
carries a kitten
by the scruff
gently she lowers
the newborn bundle
of fluffy joy
on our doorstep
Baby Rama
He who brings
enduring bliss
Galaxies
and all the Cosmos
reflected in his
sweet eyes
Repeat The Sounding Joy, Little Drummer Boy.
Up on the housetop 4 calling birds sing,
Why does she wear 5 golden rings?
Jack Frost will nip at the famous nose that's red,
then sticky canes and gingerbread.
In fairyland snow underneath mistletoe,
she wishes for chilly kisses, but will he show?
Three french hens greet Emanuel, whispering to him, "Joyeux Noel."
Silverbell dreams of little girls and boys,
figgy pudding, Kris Kringle toys.
My true love sent to me a jingle bell melody
of chestnuts roasting and eggnog toasting
under a Christmas tree.
Repeat The Sounding Joy Little Drummer Boy,
and play your drum for him, a joyous hymn.
Celestial beings will sing, Welcome to the New Born King,
the world's great glorious blessing.

Mr. Nutty,
you're m'buddy,
you never were a fuddy duddy.
There's a pattern,
you're from Saturn,
they shoulda made you the Green Lantern.
Zen Kabbalah,
Mr. Allah,
did you ever play in Walla Walla?
No one's nicer,
jezus cry sir!,
boogie woogie on a synthesizer!
f ra g m en t s of what used to be
Normal, happy and pretty care free
br o k en up into bits and parts
clean, clear glass piercing hearts
sh a tte r ed memories of days been spent
words were spoken and sincerely meant
cr u sh e d all my dreams and my hopes too
cannot be fixed, no healing glue
f i x it together, somehow try
to live this life and pretend not to cry
s o me d ay one day any day soon
i'll stand up tall and not want to swoon
SADDLED SIINCERITY
I have a lot of friends who talk with temerity
Some softer souls speak with sincerity
There is no need for me to see their face
And I can tell which one it is whatever the case
Is it the one that tells me she’ll do all that I need?
Or will it be the other one who does bad deed after bad deed?
The liar’s lips quiver I’ve found over my many years
And when you threaten to leave beware of the well honed teeth her from crocodile tears
Some I can tell immediately by the way they choose to speak
Other times I seek out a newborn calf so very weak
Lost from her mother while sleeping upright
Those are the kind I rob with the greatest of delight
Those naïve ladies are made to order for a wild mustang for me
Now all they’ve got to do is saddle me up and simply to mount
I’m telling you people these kind of ladies give love away virtually for free
I’m cunning but I’m also wrong because my last lover left and emptied my bank account

Oh, Most Beautiful Ra
Who oversees the creation of the world,
Thy Everlasting Sun of gold and glitter,
To shine upon the Earth,
To see nature in full bloom,
Spreads its bounties
Throughout Thy Kingdom.
To warn Thy Spirit against evil
But to protect for eternal life
Becomes the identity of the beholder.
Thy Sun above shines brightly down on me
And permeates throughout my entire being.
The warmth and glow of its rays
Affects every element in my life
Of who I am today.
It is truly a blessing
For I have been chosen for a special purpose
But for the reason why I do not know
Unitl then I will know why
When cometh that day.
