A tv commercial comes blazing across the screen.
I am in the kitchen, and the TV must know this
Because it went from volume 35 to volume 57.
People who have mental heath issues can now demand this from doctors.
It is a formula that is guaranteed to maybe help them.
They call it 713x6T7.
The actress on the screen went from looking down and desperate
to twirling, whirling and leading a joyful flash mob through Chicago
a disclaimer is read at the end.
Do not take again if you have temporary blindness
a stroke, heart attack or cannot lift your arms due to paralysis.
Heads pull from the sand
Now thinking they understand
Post on Social media on demand
Things they know nothing about!
Flying above
the syntax
grammarians
far below
Lost in paradigms
yet to form
Hermes to
forego
You consummate
your writing
as you reach that
final rung
The lines you wrote
by faith alone
sing out now
zero-sum
Your editor
rejected
your publisher
is spurned
The words demand
a new command
of what you’re still
— to learn
(Dreamsleep: January, 2026)
Frustration fills me,
Thoughts spill into reality,
Challenging how I see,
Forcing things to be,
Pushing out energy,
Over running my entity.
Plenty of emotions,
Flow unintentional,
The conventional way taught,
I aught watch what I say.
As I watched it all play out,
Shouting inside,
"What's this all about?"
And without a doubt,
I was shown the way,
Day after day,
Creating what I say.
Playing right into the hands,
Of another's demands,
Stripping me from the land,
I came to understand.
Landing me right where I am,
Standing in the way of the plan,
In a way I know I can.
The power of one man,
Overcoming his own Creation,
Rippling through the Land,
As frustrated hands,
Learn to create on demand.
From the e u..For denying the reality of free
Speech..The benifice of free speech, and not encouraging 'free speech' although their existence, and purported mission is
To maintain, and project free-speech, also as a
Safety valve, for European citizens and
A sign of commitment, and reassurance
To the wider worlds equlibrium, as a result.'
The current failure, to be an effective broker of all of the above values..Leads me
To request the (paltry two billion) that I may redress the balance.'
The distance between two lips gives reference
To shaping breaths about to birth deference;
A process from brain's signal,
That connects one with actual
Status above affluence before preference.
I'm a guest in a body,
That allows me to be,
Knee deep in my reality.
Entering the heart I see,
Different aspects of me,
And what makes them happy.
Freeing the mind I find,
A database I left behind,
Of how it was designed.
I do my best to understand,
It always goes as planned,
The body has its own demands.
I observe the continual ' over liberal 'design.' Demand
Demand and to shoot, is there any moral line.?
Spurred on by sucsss's over forty years.'
Assulting workable familiy units.. With a barrage
Of anger passive agression false piety? And many tears
Yet the formula it seems has garnerd, gains? And room
To cause so much division, self-doubt indeed so much gloom.'
Is there a lesson for others? On how to mis-behave?
Grab the spotlight and clamour.' By night or by day.!
There has been a conflict
between us crazy rivals
and these naughty mouths;
we haven't been honest!
It's the final demand,
take back the gift
that you already sent;
apologize to make up
or quickly pack up
your things in the closet!
Your tears won't move me
they can't change me;
don't say anything stupid
that'll might get me mad!
Dearest fool,
you didn't expect
your hope to be
taken by a whirlwind;
losing your glee
is blowing all away
and be blinded
by pain instantly!
Dearest fool,
feel the strong effect;
you haven't been too clever,
goodbye makes you shiver!
It's the final demand,
excuses are banned;
no words can befriend...
it's the final demand!
I demand Justice,
For the world's hatred, a blight,
Justice for the innocent's tragic plight,
Where evil prospers in the night,
Like shadows dark, obscuring light.
I demand Justice,
For black lives' suffering, deep and stark,
The violence's pain leaves a lasting mark,
Gunshots ring out, like a predator's bark,
As if life's worth is just a lark.
I demand Justice,
For Ryan Gainer's untimely end,
Shot three times, a life to rend,
As if his fate they could bend,
Such cruelty, we cannot pretend.
I demand Justice,
Tired of homes targeted, hearts torn,
Tired of excuses for lives worn,
Tired of the innocent being shorn,
By violence, leaving families forlorn.
I demand Justice,
Ryan was no demon or beast,
To withstand bullets, to say the least,
His strength not that of a fierce beast,
But a troubled teen, his pain released.
I demand Justice,
No excuse for taking a life's breath,
No justification in facing death,
Life's value beyond measure or depth,
Why steal it away, with every breath?
I demand Justice
For now and evermore,
Let fairness and equality soar,
Justice, our beacon, forevermore.

Be we ought to demand of a man
~ Squeeze every last drop
right into the can
The scent of warm cinnamon tea & soothing saxophone notes of Coltrane drift over my peaceful thoughts this frigid below zero morning in Minnesota...
A flute calms in waves listening to Pharoah Sanders...
Everything outside is covered in snow and ice...
A voice arises "peace and happiness for every man"
"The Creator has but one demand"
"Peace and happiness for all the land"
"Peace and happiness for all the land"
When i finally decease,
I don't want a lot of prose...
I demand you to plant me
under the tree, of rose...
Disgusting delinquents deliberately do
Dastardly deeds during December,
Driving daily demand down!
