Colonizing Poems | Examples

some days

the floorboard that gasps when stepped on
the blue bulb pulsing in an amber-lit room
the coffee stain colonizing your blue shirt—
some days, we’re nothing but
a tiny inconvenience

sharpen a pencil too far—it snaps
gargled too long, you swallow by accident
sending flowers too early—
some days, we’re nothing but
the clock that limps or leaps

some days, we are
the red shirt always missing—
until we bleed into everything

Memento on the Moon

The Sea of Tranquility gives rise to a parasitic plague,  
Colonizing mechanical machines grinding,  
Robotic arms frantically fabricating an inhospitable habitat.  
Plumes of blackened smoke drift off into zero gravity—  
A profuse profanity birthing intergalactic implosions.  
Forfeited steel domes replace a once-pristine satellite,  
Whilst humanity, like vultures, journeys to their new paradise,  
Foaming at the mouth to exploit the dark side of the moon.  
Looking outside the frosted rocket's windows,  
Earth's decaying corpse is nothing but a mere memento mori in the rearview window.

Beware, Moon too fragile is

If COVID lockdowns can turn the Moon cold,
Colonizing it oh, what not would hold.
Having ruined Mother Earth,
Should man make Moon his hearth?
The satellite’s far too fragile a mould.

Poet’s notes: COVID lockdowns may have proved disastrous for the economy, they benefitted environment tremendously. An ISRO (Indian Space Research Organization) study reveals that lockdowns caused the Moon to turn cold. Yet, Moon and Mars are under the radar of many countries, and there lies the danger, this ditty feels.

Depression

My fragmented heart defied my mind's authority
A gloomy transformation carved from sorrow's blood
Dopamine disappears while endorphins are the minority
The down feeling crashes in like an uncontrolled flood
An unwelcomed intruder colonizing my obedient body
I routinely succumb to your callous commands
An old foe by the former name of melancholy
Like a sponge you absorb my joy unarmed 

Your fourth unsolicited visit in fourteen years
The voice of my normality fades in your shadow
Familiar with your punishment I become immune to fears
The heat of your rule coerces my heart to feel mellow 

I forbade hopelessness to assert its voice in my head
Through gruntled teeth I allow my pride to fall instead 
Antidepressants forces a ceasefire in our internal war
Tranquility pushes you out through my heart's aluminium door
I embrace peace knowing It too visits but does not stay
For I know you will return again in a few years from this day

EARTH THE LAST HOPE

EARTH, THE LAST HOPE

As I look back on my life 
I look forward to today’s memories
ensconced in my yearning to return to that time
when my father and brother would lay on our rooftop
under the awning of the majestic firmament
ogling the countless myriad constellations
listening to father tell us tales of the constellation Orion
a place where our ancestors came from
looking for a friendly place that contained no enemies
was alive with tranquility flourishing abundantly
this earth seemed the right place
as I look back on the history of how we devastated this planet
I think maybe colonizing earth wasn’t the right thing to do
after all, we are human, known as the scourge of the universe,
but with good intentions.

Oblivious to Palestinian Suffering

No, I'm  not one of those who say, "It's nothing, it's collateral damage for just cause."
How much I regret this plight of conscience,
people walking around unmindful of the tragedy.
Have they no trace of humanity?
Are there no rules of war?
Is genocide allowed?
The spirit of contradiction marks the West, shattering tranquility of academic ivory towers, desperately requiring Nietzschean jailbreak; their sorrow is shallowest thing, they're afraid of their own shadow.
Look no further than Nazi atrocities,
are there no lessons from history?
Follow not the logic of occupiers, colonizing morality.
They color the silence of their tongues with crocodile tears.

Why Is It

Why is it?
the louder
and more ballistic
my self-righteousness
offensively becomes

The more
at night
I feel self-loathing,
when all is quiet
except dark ruminations
filling my silent bedroom
overwhelming my mind
and body.

Why is it?
we RightWing worry
that nonviolent communication,
too lovingly applied,
would leave us defenseless
against colonizing predators?

And do not worry enough
about LeftWing social anxiety
chronic worrying trauma tales
of violent communications,
too profoundly
ubiquitously applied,
leaving us offensively polarized
by inside fascist autocratic hate
hoarding angry power
and fear filled paralysis?

While unallied corporate fat cat
capitalists,
sell defense industry prophylactic lies,
mad ecocide
predicting global anthroprivileged
demise.

Our inhumane history of violence
leaves uncontested
a healthy silent mystery
of preference 
for compassionate personal experience.

When Profound Feels Sacred

My youngest
of three AfricanAmerican adopted sons
has profound nonwhite
nonstraight
nonverbal cerebral palsy.

Profound
in at least not being privileged
or victimized
by internal LeftBrain dominance,
violent micro-aggressions,
zero-sum competitive thinking

Either positively True and Good
or negatively False and Bad,
laughable
or humorless

Sacred indigenous consciousness
feels more Right-Elder brainstem
bodymind nondualistic synergy
friendly energy
which is my son's political blessing
and his capital secularizing
segregating
colonizing
economic disabled curse.

Youngest son communes
with music
more fluidly co-empathic
than linguistic communications

He touches
and sings
and chants
through echoing shouts
and exclamatory barks,
short nonphonetic phrases,
lip smacking,
and belly laughs.

When he cries,
which is seldom,
he cries silently

No vocal cords

Profound inhaling wet gasps
and exhaling sad sacred shakes.

He laughs unconditionally
from his root chakra 
warm unguarded soul
and bicamerally cries
from his buddha
co-empathic eyes.

Earth's Intimacy

Imagine
your segregated ego identity
becomes your primal sensory system
perennially aiming toward 
0-Zone peak experiential integrity

Intimately aware
all humane physical
and verbal touchers
and metaphysical
nonverbal feelers

Win/Win voiced teachers
and polytheistic out-reachers
ecologically surrounded
by sacred, living
lovely Earth's health potential
for nurturing 1-Zone
environment-nurturing choices

Integral
polyculturally resilient
to more resonantly feel 
multicultural health
and safer ego/ecosystemic wealth

1-EarthTribe/0-Ego co-binary
poly/mono-polistic
bicameral balance
toward Win/Win's strategic 
global/local wise integrity

Polytheistically sacred living
potential for resonant co-empathic health
and resiliently co-investing
in restoring peace felt
and justice touched

EarthTribe environmental 1-healthy
and neuro-systemic win/win 0-safety
co-empathic intention

Intimate intelligence
not resonantly shared
becomes at risk
of defensive fetid dogma,
colonizing anger and fear potential

Or fades away
giving sway
to further win/lose trauma

Where win/win creolization
had actively hoped
to co-intelligently play.

Deep Estuaries

Behind Summer's fullness
richness,
nutritional and nurturing sunlight
empowering bounty

Lies another deep
darker sacred truth
of EarthTribe's inevitable mortality,
death
loss
cosmic stress
universal trauma

MonoTheistic distrust,
disaster,
despair
of patriarchal autonomous
lonely at the top
supremacy

MonoPolistic colonizing,
divisive,
aggressive,
violent,
rapacious,
racist,
sexist,
terrorist
climatic pathology

MonoCulturing Straight Western Male 
historic white 
protagonist light,
choosing win/lose inside voices
over win/win outside choices
is not so healthily bright

Against deep dark green
ecofeminist
co-passionate
co-empathic
co-arising bicameral
panentheistic empowering
harmonic mindful balance,
EarthTribally accessible
democratic co-enlightenment.

Communication Theories

Critical race theory
could also dynamically camouflage
critical sex theory,
critical gender theory,
critical binary theory

Which might look like
Analytical Feminist Theory
on Earth's creolizing Eastern Hemisphere

And speak of more competitive
DisPassionate Predation Expertise
toward the colonizing
riled-up Western Hemisphere

Dipolar co-arising
a great transitional dialogue
within each individual
Left and Right mindbody
engaging theoretical experience
of competing cooperative
integrally spiraling 
potential green wealth
of EarthTribe panentheistic health.

Who We Are

The subject of ourselves;
We choose, perceive, 
laugh, and grieve. 
What are we
in this boundless and expanding cosmic web?

We, human beings
do the curiosity of all experiments.
Made up the same subatomic particles 
as are exchanged
between flowers in the gardens and black holes in the galaxies.

Within the immense ocean of stars,
the images of the Dark Energy live within us.
When supernova collide!  A glimpse of Milky Way’s fate zooms in, 230 million light
years away from earth.
With limited means
our ignorance,
the discovery of the multiverse living beyond us.

Big bang or
the fabric of time, Dust Ring discovered in Mercury’s orbit.
In Quantum awareness of singularity
       we can always be wrong.

Scientists smashing atoms
Searching never-before-seen a shadow of Event Horizon
Building reusable rockets colonizing Mars
Bending the speed of light
 ......Desperately seeking the horoscope of human race

“I” and the neutrons in our brains 
are the same thing;
        complex, tightly integrated
        and lovable.

The brutal truth
Is - no certainty 
We exist.

Time

The clock was ticking and the countdown had begun, the moment had now arrived  when myself and six other astronauts would blast off from Cape Kennedy.                                                 

We were going out to deep infinite space on the first manned mission to Mars, that would take six months  to complete with the hope of colonizing the red planet for the eternal good of all mankind.

I couldnt help but think that we the human race had not done a good  job so far of looking after our own planet earth with pollution, terrorism and wars and still people on earth did not have shelter or enough food to eat. 

My thoughts came back to the present as a voice from mission control 
came over the radio, "54321 ignition, we have lift off, we are go" . 
The time had now come to leave the past behind and to create history.
