The Root of All Evil
To find the root of all evil,
One hasn't far to look.
It's not some shrouded mystery,
Concealed within a book.

The truth is right before your eyes,
It hasn't been concealed.
Eliminate the branches first,
And the root is revealed.

Let's look at money, first of all;
Could it be evil's source?
It makes...

Root of All Evil
5/25/17


Trying to steal from the poor
And start a global war
What good are you for?

Selling products that kill
So your pockets can get filled
Don't be flabbergasted if your own blood is spilled

No suprise
Another telling continual lies
Is always unwise
And going to decay away covered in swarms of flies
Regarding...

Premium Member Green Root - El
I am of the land's green root
From branches of fragrant fruit
I am hills of daffodils
The grain to sustain old mills
I am the farmer's treasure
A line of corn to measure
I am of the land's green root

The Root
Malice unsated. Insatiable.
The children of the frenzy
belch poison beyond the shell,
yet suckle there at the breast
of an uncertain woman 
gratefully turned to stone;
long for a distant father
who has quietly despised them
since the uncertain womb.
Insatiable malice. Unsated.

No Circle In the Square Root of Blood
no circle in the square root of blood
my nose is a new tourist site

no circle in the square root of blood
my spit is the new crimson river of mass confusion

no circle in the square root of blood
my head has a rowboat with a hole from...

Good Leading's Root
Becoming a leader is your way,
You want to be applaused and hailed
And within you hope swims,
But you never ask yourself why.
Why I yawn to be the head?
Do I possess what it takes
To be a great head
That head the people's right?
Void of rustic concern, crispy craving;
Craving...

Root Beer Float Afternoon
It was one  of those 
Kind of afternoons
When ball games were heard
From open windows

And houses had porches
And porches had swings
Where voices murmured softly 
Into velvet humidity

It was the most precious of things
In the most treasured of times
It was a root beer float…
Kind of afternoon...

Money Is the Root of All Evil
They say money is the root of all evil.
So forgive me God for I'm about to be a sinner. 
You know I can't let my baby
Just have water for his dinner.
In this life you are only a winner 
If you're pockets are Fuller
And frankly im...

All that toxic waste
For mine profits has laced 
Our bed which becomes a bordello*

The Belly of the Root
I finished my work early  this morning 
and went outdoors to exercise 
I jogged around the circle for a while
and  observed  a few things happening outside
A pickup truck parked on the edge of the street
As soon as went out it drove in...

The square root of sixteen is four
The veg root of turnip is swede
The tooth root of dentist is pain
The route we must take is misspelled
The root of each line is a "the"

A Little Bird Told Me - 20 May 2020
Looking at flowers, then leaves, I began to wonder about the roots and seeds. Yes, I thought, that's what I learned in Biology, Botany, Biodiversity ... But a brilliant, brainy, breath-takingly beautiful budgerigar whispered to me:

"You are "thought" [taught to think in boxes, as PT...
