Hi! I'm Alan
  the astrologer
I used to be 
  a mythologer

Here's the forecast
  for tonight
I'm sure you'll see
  I've got it right

The stars are green
  The moon is pink
The North Star is
  on the blink

Venus is 
  out to dinner
On her diet
  Mars looks thinner

Jupiter's
  a god of Rome
Saturn's rings
  are made of foam

The Milky Way's
  a candy bar
The sun's too big
  to be a star

Pluto is
  a goofy mutt
Uranus has
  a charming butt

These true facts
  I tell my clients
All MY predictions ~

The inspiration for my poem - 
This "Pantoum" is about Birth, Life, Death. There are all sorts of "Waiting Rooms", in this Life and the next. Of course, this is my belief. The reader may interpret Birth, Life and Death distinctly separate from my belief.

"Politics is a dirty business. If you are going to 'write' policy, fabrication is not advisable, make sure you have ALL the true facts in front of you and that TRUTH is delivered by whatever means necessary". Quote, Leanne Lovejoy-Burton to daughter, Georgia - April 2018.


Great Minds

Great Minds

Great Minds think alike, that's what they say.
But...Just, what is a great mind, at the end of the day?

Great Minds...are inventive, they create new things.
Great Minds...help humanity, don't destroy everything.
Great Minds...are curious, always searching for the truth.
Great Minds...are not blinded, by arrogance, or by youth.

Great Minds...explore all options, never giving in to pressure.
Great Minds...accept consequences, don't just live for pleasure.
Great Minds...are truly humble, never giving in to pride.
Great Minds...are never closed, by day or by night.

Great Minds...understand all things, especially the whys.
Great Minds...are never Pharisaic, wise in their own eyes.
Great Minds...never worry about what their peers think.
Great Minds... can also change, if true evidence is king.

Great Minds...are never slaves, to popular theories.
Great Minds...teach truth, not artfully contrived stories.
Great Minds...are always open, to reality, and true facts.
Great Minds...are not so open, to cause the brain to detach.

Great Minds...understand the law of cause and effect.
Great Minds...cannot ignore, The Great Causer, and his affect.
Great Minds...never feel superior, someone else knows more.
Great Minds...never stop learning, never close the door.

5th Place winner in
Poem that time forgot contest 
by Silent One

Never Assume

NEVER ASSUME*
We are told to never assume,
to guess, or to anticipate
or even try to presume.

So if we try to articulate
of things we aren't sure,
do we assume or shut the door
on thoughts we may abhor?
 
So don't assume, just give the facts
that you are sure to know. 
And you will find
it often stumps your mind
how the facts become just so.

The facts somehow get twisted up
even though you know for sure
that you were right and others wrong
no matter to whom you implore.

That's really known as politics
when facts aren't facts and we assume 
the facts are just made up for tricks.
Then no one knows for sure 
who's right or wrong or just 
what is the score. 

One side says the other is wrong
and tries to give the true facts.
But their facts are no more true
than a fairy tale or an old song. 

So once again we should not assume
to know what we really know.
Just toss it up and then presume 
the facts got lost 
as round and round you go.


*  This poem was written as the result of listening to political debates and political messages, talking points, and commercials during the 2012 elections.

Premium Member My Ancestry Surprise - Dk


One-hundred percent Italian descent:
   four grandparents crossed the ocean, went
through Ellis Island, from Italy sent;
   my Italian roots, one-hundred percent.

But  D N A  samples now tested, ruled-
   genetic ancestry can have you fooled!
With full Italian descent overruled-
   gene structure in me- completely retooled.

Dumbstruck that percentages showed so clear
   my pie chart was sliced- not a full sphere,
my mind was lost in this new-found frontier,
   and wiped out ideas that I held so dear.

Through tests, my genetic past now revealed,
   sixty-four percent Italian did yield!
Thirty-six percent now unconcealed
   some ancestors came from lands far afield!

Mid-Eastern, Caucasus, Iberian too,
   Some Jewish, Scandinavian, plus a few
chance Irish genes to mix up the brew.
   My former beliefs are now so untrue.

But, soon I accepted this new-found me,
   like others amazed, as shown on TV,
surprised, but excited as I can be-
   with a varied, colorful, mixed ancestry!

Premium Member The Modern Baal

There is a war on earth against God 
attacking the very corner stones within pillars of belief 

Shepherd when the stars of doom eclipse red faced 
cornered facts bleeding innocent the silent screams tremble 

Unheard angels filtering through the moonlight 
kneeling souls pray for His dire mercy 

To make this world right again filled with peace 
Condemn the guilty as wolves they are killing sheep 

Ripping little ones to pieces sacrificed at the pagan temple 
where the purity of love has been tarnished ugly by these loveless strays

Savages impotent against the powers of nature 
prostrating the cringing submission of a slave

Begging blind articles of self praise enslaved ideas removing independence 
from true facts not acknowledged for their value underneath respect

Despite its wanton infliction of pain apes amongst rats devouring 
democratic views under heaven's command thou shalt not kill

Beseeching the Whitelace Ghost

( A sequel to my poem “The Lady of Whitelace Castle” )


Are ye, my lady, an apparition
or perchance a fair servant frail?
The ruddiness of pinks 
touching neither your cheeks
as you wander about so pale

My lips turn blue from winter’s cold
under this arch of elm sentinels
growing quickly despondent 
not knowing the truth
of your present presence tale

Speak, please now, that I may dispel
ghost sagas of Whitelace myths…
Be ye her Mistress 
in this ghostly vision
or the fair servant once lost in the mist? 

Some hold the truth in the latter
but for me the true facts do matter
as I am the one
that bid Mistress farewell
when her hand was promised another

It’s been bantered about for years
that you seek true love unattained
I’m wondering now
if our forbidden vows
is that love that you search for in vain

I beg that ye now speak your story
tossing my sanity here out as witness
for in health’s decline
my heart also seeks 
the lost love of the Castle’s Mistress

I stand here now in this snow drift
shivering skin on now brittle bones
I could surely die
A satisfied man
If my joining your spirit would atone

What's On Your Mind Today

What is on your mind today?
A war without repercussion
Or the History of creationism
A birth without the pain or vivid stories
A wedding without the bride or groom
A young life cut down to soon.
A presidential race without any lies
A casket without a cadaver
Facebook with friends or backstabbers?
Cancer treatment without radiation
Recession without a long bailout
or wearing high heel with toes out

A week without snow or rain
Birthday wishes without leaving messages

 Being so darn broke,
 you are so ashamed
Your limp wallet smoke

Buy one get the other free 
What up with that deal

When a man is ready to be faithful
Is he ready to accept his failures?
Is our lives  based on Bollywood referrals act.
Isn’t that the true facts?

Premium Member Called History Repeating Itself

Balanced through life's cup 
our climate changes as war grips many poor souls 
Caught victims in a maze poisoned by this pollution 

Trillions dropped in bombs of grave suffering and devastation 
the silent screams for justice that's never heard 
Media no longer covers true facts bare to the bone 

Holocaust where arms are supplied by powers at large 
testimony witnesses living skeletons displayed 
That would break your heart seeing such unbearable agony 

Driven from their home lands by greedy tyrants 
the greatest polluters of this world 
Warmongers destroying cities and valuable relics 

Amounts to the army of darkness never once showing 
the olive branch of peace destroying seems to be all they live by 
a sad story that is told over and over again

Premium Member Where Spineless Weasels Dwells

I find in a godless society 
versed so to speak openly correct 
truth always becomes the first casualty aborted
 
It comes under attack with twisted views 
heartless beings cursing every good value upside down 
whom use vulgar words in order to silence the true facts 

Craving acceptance pride filled bullies 
condemning souls through their wickedness of deeds 
displayed boastfully ignorant goats 

Taking away rights it is where it all begins displacing people 
stripping us into the core of sanity where hope is lost virtues 
focusing on those without sin making them feel dirty for having a choice 

A communist state of affairs under lawless acts hide stupid apes 
has now entered our modern day democracies underhanded failures 
baffoons filled with corruptions sins rotten to the core exist

To Our Partner of the World

What has incurred you person, looking so poor? 
In the world since you are an inborn partner, 
The sharer of it as long as you live
What are wrongs with you or me or other? 
That trouble you living freely with rights, 

You are trying to conceal bearing alone
Though the world is full of men and women, 
You are seen silent deprived, oppressed
Though the world bears unlimited love and wealth, 
You want silent and self tragedy with your tribe
Though the world preserves all's every right, 

But you failed
As I see your eyes filling a sea with tears
Your sky is cast with black clouds
Changing in a year round rainy season, 
Your mind is out of the heart
Roaming in the vast desert, looking for water
What are the causes? 
Have turned you in ghostly figure
Which makes your world lonely tagging a sad tune; 

As a man of the earth, you do know some true facts -
Life is full of light and dark
Alternatively one follows the other
More or less every one must face
You will see tide follows the ebb
No rose without thorns
No river without turns, 
Be hopeful, legally play your roles and
Just be patient and see things will be right in time
Patience is a heavenly quality
Time is made as the great healer
The most are but time killer, disorderer and self destroyer
Destroying themselves who destroy other
As if, their destiny is tied to an everlasting pillar.

Trumpiad I - Work In Progress

« Fools are my theme and satire is my song. »
                   George Gordon, Lord Byron
I
Donald Trump is an ignorant man,
Put in power by a populist gang,
Property dealer of some renown
Rode with post-truth into town.
‘A living libel on mankind’,
On money likes to keep his mind,
Cabinet filled with billionaires
Huddled rich in hunt for chances
Use their office to make advances,
Increase billions by four or five,
To make them feel their still alive


II
O, Ye great bulletins of Bonaparté,
Paton’s D-Day address to the Armé,
Abe on « a nation born in liberté »,
Churchill to the House in 1940 !
And now D. Trump, 45th president,
Tweets on Twitter setting a precedent,
Policy thought conveyed with such thrift -
Surely a sign of a nation adrift.

But look on the bright side : what a relief ! 
When Trump talks at length, it’s my belief,
Anacoluthia attack him in shoals,
Grammar left full of great gaping holes,
Collapses in dire, illiterate heaps.
Something to be said for infantile tweets,
Though geo-strategy run off so quick
Speaks of a nation decidedly sick.

Trump’s got a thing ‘bout alternative facts,
Alternative lies masquerading as acts
He thinks are truer than truly true facts ;
So obsessed by media mendacity,
Loses track of simple veracity,
Disorder like this makes for confusion,
Trump KO’ed by semantic contusion,
Is he speaking the truth or spouting lies ?
Makes him a fool in everyman’s eyes.
