On the bed, my ginger cat settles
             onto a pile of clean laundry, dryer warm

Feline steady stare, resolute 
           a strategy of possession...

Stolen Illumination of the Star
STOLEN ILLUMINATION OF THE STAR

This journey has not been a fanciful adventure, 
we're all settlers in  these dynasty of neo-colonialism 
united only by what divides us. Victims, yes 
victims of civilized inducement, 
terms of reference only apply to the proletarians. 
Am not merely being...

My dear son,

Chess and Cruelty
I
Practising something
Winning takes thinking
Like the world
Values curtailed, curled

II
Add anonymity
Online carefree community
Some will begin games
Not play; hope you go away
Courtesy questioned; charged with abandonment
Social contract corrected less fast (for content)

III
We play games
For variety, virtual community
Go everywhere, in His Peace, Shalom
Try always, to live your values, decorum
Yet,...

The Rebel Flag Flies Alone
Driving from Florida to Atlanta,
snapped an image with my phone.
Crossing the Georgia state line,
I saw the rebel flag flying alone.

Had seen this flag before.
Used to fly with two others.
Georgia and Tennessee,
were its pole flying brothers.

Don't see these flags much longer.
Some people yelling loudly.
We should no...

Reset Actions and Precautions
Whinging utterly pointless, act
To change the perception you project
Cursing utterly uncouth, exercise tact with the contact
Whom you desire to reject with the respect 

They least expect even when they suspect
Their exploitative tendencies piss
You off big time as you ought to protect
The best asset you own...

Premium Member Our natural state
Life!
Can it be figured out in one’s entire life span?
Come with no preoccupied goals and aspirations
The moment we come, we‘re entangled in the web of desires. 
Desires lead to all predicaments.
Scriptures preach not to stoop down to wants!
Simultaneously, rituals take us into their hands.
They proclaim...

Premium Member The Rot of the Republic
Listen up, 'cause I'm about to spit some truth
About a disease that's eating our society from the root
Corruption, the silent killer, the thief in the night
Stealing our future, our justice, our right

Bribes exchanging hands, backdoor deals in the dark
While the common folk struggle, just trying...
