Best Seminal Poems
Trump and Seminal Vesicle
Should see Trump's seminal vesicle
Has shriveled up just like his testicle
When you have heard his vernacular
Would think they were spectacular
Might be a dreamer who is mystical.
Jim Horn
A young man stood at the edge of a life-changing decision,
Knowing not which direction was the better one for him.
Not gifted with any helpful, foreshadowing prescience
He recalled his mother’s words, “Always do what is right,”
But, he thought, one does not always see a clear path,
And how does one evaluate beforehand the aftermath
Of unforeseen circumstances, of inevitable looming change?
He wondered if he might return after many years; then,
Regret that he had not chosen another course in life.
Some choices offer themselves once, it seems, then vanish
Into yesterday’s murky, hidden, lost forever, passages
Where what might have been is no longer a possibility.
A young man stood at the edge of a life-changing decision.
Thoughtfully, he opened his scant storehouse of knowledge.
He made the choice he thought, in the now, for the best,
Set his path resolutely forward and later had few regrets
Looked back upon that day with all its hopes and dreams
The day he set a course for future success and satisfaction.
When I was in an interfaith seminary
I noticed three models
for understanding a faith community's purpose
in a democratic and diverse society.
1. Conservation of SelfRighteous Anger
To compete with,
and thereby degenerate the powers of,
sin and evil and ignorance
in a monoculturally untrustable
hedonistic
degenerating society
destined for just rewards
of hellfire and damnation
because untrustworthy
and untruthfully obscuring privileged
eco-political capitalist patriarchalism.
2. Liberating from EgoCentered Fear
To rescue us individual sinners,
benighted Earth defilers,
from our capitalist-patriarchal
competitive
oppressive
suppressive anti-feminist
homophobic
racist
ageist anthropocentrism;
To redeem our hopelessly negative
deviant bad health choices,
monoculturing,
left-brain dominantly encultured
verbal miscommunications,
disunions,
despairing experience of eternal apartheid,
loneliness,
unease and disease.
3. Empowering win-ego/win-eco CoMessiahs
To cooperatively enlighten each Other
to grow in compassion
and non-violent integrity of communication,
internal communion experience
and external harmonic community
for active eco-political hope,
cooperatively empowering faith,
deep learning multicultural love.
When I went to Public Administration graduate school,
I, thereby,
noticed three models
for understanding a democratic constitution's purpose
in a healthy society.
1. Red Anger Management
2. Blue/Green Repurposing Win/Lose Fears
3. Ultra NonViolet
Whole EarthPeace
Open ZeroZone
Win/Win EgoEco-Systemic
BiCameral CoOperative Empowerment
An early bloomer:
you jumped on the otherside,
of Milky Way, at night.
Hearing the voices,
from inside,
becoming a Buddha.
The semen, without light?
sprouts, into a mad tree.
Not normal.
Starts walking at acute
angle, randomly,
for a cosmic, rare encounter.
A severed hand
writes the destiny of man
who went wild.
