Best Reformers Poems

Have you ever been to Scotland ?, the place of many friends,
Have you ever seen the Lochs, or the heather in the glen.
D’ya know of her martyrs, their price to make a stand,
Ever trod the soil, of blood mixed in the land.

Have you ever been...

A sudden feeeling comes over me as vast as a dark cloud
Introspection, a plubic view of inside myself
An outcry, a protest of fear, a proclaimation of Faith
A deep emotion, A spell so strong
That she casts over me with her eyes
Resist the evil that many men...

A great philosopher was someone who
I read about. He was a Scottish priest.
Before today I never even knew
a thing about this guy now long deceased.
Philosophy is sometimes hard for me
to comprehend, and John Duns Scotus taught
ideas that I don’t grasp easily.
His “univocity of being” thought
is...

Sleepy, creepy uncle Biden
in the basement had been hidin'
while reformers wrote his script
and the casted votes got flipped.

Now President reject, behind CNN's stage
emulates the affects of old age.
Let's give the man credit, though, seems he tries
and he can't remember he's telling lies.

I see 
I see that life is no longer the place for me 
I think that the fact that the darkness of life 
Many which are not in the time of ignorance 
Where a lot of hatred and injustice 

And I became a stranger in...

A land of virtues with cultural grace
For myriad religions, a home place
A peace loving paradise by nature
Honoring traditions, its grand feature

Many a scholar hailed from this blessed soil
Reformers made it renowned with their toil
Assorted branches of knowledge flourished
Awe-inspiring arts and cultures cherished

Invaders tried to grab...

The CoOp featured Women and Families
and their Matriarchal Allies,
often LGB and/or T,
and even some curiously queerer,
but not meaner
in appropriate demeanor
regardless of habitat
and camouflage
and costume,
ready for a folksy ball,
come as you neighborhood are
at Three Sisters CoOp.

The Corn Sisters
first brought their good news gospel,
Christian straight through bisexual,

Paradise
like Rome
is not built
and not rebuilt
and rebuilt
and redeveloped
and healed
and redeemed
in one 24-hour
cycle
and recycle
and revolving
round day v night,

And/or 
appreciatively regarding both day
and dualdark
rich and fertile 
souled and soiled
recycling night.

So too
my personal
and political
and economic
and ecological
and theologically reformed dawn
of unconditional win/win regard,
like God's light
and not EarthMother's
and not Buddha's

I wonder if fully liberated consciousness
can only focus on integrity
becoming;

If partial consciousness
and unconsciousness of left with right awareness
is the default of dis-integrity,
of wandering through detachment
of unwanted apartheid
and mutual apathy
about integrity's personal
national
global governing pride,
organic capacity to know
and appreciate
with active listening
and non-violently speaking
compassion.

In "Why Liberalism Failed"
Patrick Deneen

In the name of God
Galileo was put to death
By Christians

In the name of God
Reformers died
At the hands of Christians

Then came the theory of evolution
Angry Christian banded together
To put an end to this ungodly theory

Christians are so busy
Trying to protect God of Jesus Christ

But I wonder

Is...

Too, the wives of shearers, drovers and the teamsters of the day 
fought the months of isolation while their husbands were away. 
Still they kept the home-fires burning and would do the many chores, 
just to keep at bay the hunger that came knocking at...

In the twilight of my thoughts, where shadows dance like ancient spirits,
I hear the whispers of the Word, a symphony woven by time,
The eternal ecstasy of a silence that flows through the veins of the cosmos,
Each note, a regret that resonates in the cathedrals of...

THE CROSS IN THE WALLET

I saw two wallets on the shelf,
One old, the other nice.
The nice one cost a little more,
But I thought I’d pay the price.
But then I thought how I could take
That wallet, worn and old,
And fix it so it could be used,
I’d...

Power is an intoxicating spice
Oily politicians line the public troughs with it
Wealthy corporations dress it up in lofty mission statements
Erotic mistresses ooze it to extract favors from lovers
Reformers inevitably glom onto it to achieve dubious ends...

We have great preachers in the shape of unchained goons
They speak on YouTube
They abuse and threat People
They often beat weak rebels
We have great reformers in the shape of unchained goons.
Note. Unfortunately crowd encourages absurdity and violence.
Moral. Stray dogs can't be reformers.
Lesson. Stand up and don't...
