BETWEEN FARAWAY DISTANCE is THE POET and I

Treacherous stretches mounds of greens feed fresh the mind. . .

never ever upon a spangled heavens or in seagulls’ crash - hush,
nor on echoed notes of tweeting nightingales did I hear; feel. I find
the need to stop, steadily...

Starting Over
Seven ton's fell down that day.
Crushed my life and took you away.
Left me standing in a pile of rubble.
Still in shock, I'm afraid I'm in trouble.

Post traumatic shuffling of paper's.
A day in the life of the soul shapers.
Begins the journey to where, you don't know.
Starting...

My Generation
I'm not a 
preacher; 
I'm just another believer.
I believe in the future of my 
generation, 
because we are the solution 
generation.

My generation...
Flourishing in righteousness
Walking in holiness
Nourishing in goodness
Connecting to grace yet 
wireless
Overflowing amidst 
emptiness 
Shining amidst darkness
Bearing fruits amidst 
barrenness
Blossoming amidst dryness
Breaking through in the...

The Hunt
From hunting comes 
From hunting drums
From hunting hums
All bright stars
Near and far
In New York or Trafalgar 
Those stars in skyscrapers
Those dazzling gold vapours
The government shapers
The controller of all papers
All go on hunting 
And keep counting
And measuring sometimes too
In the treasury

Keep your eyes open
The lids may...

Freedom Fighters
Mighty Big Brothers are watching all people from distance, 
Trying to hack every brain by TV and newspapers, 
Armies of clones are unable to show resistance 
To the corrupted and biased opinion shapers. 

Feeding the crowds with lies, they don't tackle starvation, 
Playing a dangerous...

Fare Thee Well, Madiba Page 2
You gave us that, Grand Warrior
You conquered my anger and my bitterness
You conquered my vengeance, Madiba
You showed the World the way, Madiba
And forged a great nation, the Rainbow Nation
I was there with the happy multitudes

Yet now I must accept the dictates of life
The dictates of...

Premium Member Electron Herders
Electron herders, 
that's us. It began
earnestly late 20th century.
The first organic computers
using polymerase and qubits
came later. Weaponry
via numbers, words
magically appearing, 
telepathy. Measurements
in which the last significant digit
is the Other. However
immediately depleted
our resources were, 
antibiotics were always at the ready.
Forgetting what we knew, 
reverting to austerity
because...

Faceless
I sit down in each class
As time rolls past
Think my life is one big hour glass

For no test knows my dream
No quiz knows my future
Of all this are you sure
Is it all what is seems?

Do we question this path?
And face society’s wrath?

Of a world built...

The Hero of Des Moines
Looking backward one can see so clearly. 
The priceless diamond held loosely in hand. 
Did not seem as vital but merely
What most every kid had in the heartland. 

The sidelines were of no significance
For the players with no one in the stands. 
But for me...

Time
A sworn foe of those who just sit and wait,
a cherished friend to shapers of their fate,
wasted in youth, aimless and desperate 
yet treasured in old age happily content....

The Desirous But Not Serious
He is eager to break a record
But a lot plays with loafers’ record:
The Leanest Time to wonders accord …

He is The Gasping for a record
But in his left ear an oft fixed cord;
Not with scholarship in accord …

The Anxious-to-Create-a-Record
Still in his heard speeches Hacked Concord
And...

Labor Day 2024
In the realm of labor, where workers toil,
Their sweat and tears upon the soil,
On Labor Day, we honor those
Whose hard work and dedication shows.

From fields of grain to towering skyscrapers,
They build our world, these labor shapers,
With hands calloused and backs bent low,
They forge ahead, through...

Premium Member Quaint Quirks and Fancy Foibles
Let the kinks and oddities remain esoteric
to herald that special uniqueness
that makes you, just you, as you are.
Resist the shapers and conformity grinders
that would smooth out the crumples,
iron out the creases and wrinkles.
Your texture becomes you when gripped,
Your spikes and bumps adorn, when worn displayed...
