Determiner Poems | Examples


The Determiner

Good and evil are born out of perception 
Right and wrong are determined by rules
The finality of truth and falsity resides in belief
Justice and Injustice are the preserves of a selfish society 
Absoluteness is utopian 
Perfection is a trait of metaphysics 
Every action herein is but hypothetically temporal 
Divinity is the final arbiter

Premium MemberOf Fatalism

As Siamese cat frightens the pygmy jerboa rat,
So too humans under fate or destiny's habitat; 
I am chained; grab-hooked; the master-link is held by someone,
Like a stray dog, I am pulled; dragged; by everyone outdone...!

I am unquenchable; thirsty; my ponds are troubled, yet, 
Though this has been against my wish, my tongue I cannot wet; 
God too plays the determiner, like monkey puppeteer;
Hypnotizes the beings he's created; like snake-charmer...!

How must I live? How many days? How should I, at last die?
In death-bed or death, grave or interment, how must I lie?  
When should my soul, like earthly water-drop evaporate?
When and where should, it, with the pure spirit incorporate...? 

It should, anyhow, be born-again though it does not will,
Does habitat-destruction, the death human beings, kill?
Midst ocean of life-cycle forced beings feel, within, ill,
Could anyone, his or her existence, freely choose still...?

how still is our stillness
and how empty is our emptiness 
here & now, moment to moment entwined 
if awareness within the linear time continuum 
be not free of the last remnants of ego residuum 

determiner of emptiness being an ego calibration 
succumbing thus are captive in collaboration 
unless vaporised in a continuum unbroken 
with Samadhi as permanent state
peak that never abates

Domus Hereticorum

To you my quondam friend!
I made myself a heretic through the sacrament 
                                  Of unearthed and burnt,
Through the enforcement of raucous, 
And above all, the magnum crimen of irrational.
As the 5th Earl of imminence… now, I, 
I summon the torn faces of rituals,
Born to abuse the necessity, depriving it of
Any valid right! Cleansed through the salvation
In a pious moment, so precise in time of living,
In time of consolation with solace, and valence
Towards unconditional giving and grieving.
I am sentenced (!), potentially, to become
Honourable in my pledge to silenced soul,
And as a friar of reclusion, I deem it probable,
Yet illusory, that the pristine image of self 
Becomes a wish of rupture and the determiner 
Of good will, in this humble domus hereticorum.
Provisions, inquisitions, admirations, fervent
Beliefs, and infant crevasses of desired, send across,
Send! My message of acceptance and nonchalance,
Bold and pregnant, with reasons of disinterest
                                                 Forever, and ever!

Gone with the wind
Gone are the days of indecision
Gone are the days of determination 
Are you sure?
You will forever be indecisive
Because God decide
You will forever be hesitate
Because God has the final plan
And it changes at the last minute
So forsake - go on
Know that the Determiner has a Hand on you
That He determines everything
from the day you walk
To the day you talk
From the one you marry
To the one you fly
From ahh whatever
You get the message
One thing for sure 
- He will not leave you floundered
aimless
He always has a plan
And therefore you have a plan
You just don't know it yet
Or do you?
Like I said
Don't be floundered
Aimless
Like you have a choice

Metadata

remember it's not the "actual" data
it's only the metadata, but we
never met a data we didn't love
there's treasure in detritus debris

with intense Holmesian determination
we'll be able to infer and deduce
some linked reference, some correlation
between pointed data bits obtuse

government or company or corporation
don't matter the size of digital scrap
data microscope will reveal motivation
wanted are all of the small bits of crap

listing phone logs, search queries and such
myriad IP addresses and email recipients 
to squirrel away with the lightest of touch
GPS Lat-Long located and databased insidious

to imply we spy on domestics is irrational
since we're "multi-national" by determiner
we're only looking at the "foreign nationals"
'course from "over there" you're the foreigner

you see there's nowhere to run away
no thought too trivial or secret to reveal
what networked digital crumbs can convey
is what gives metadata its big data appeal

Time

Time,
Faster you run on
Through life your patron
Within space and moment
Leaving behind nothing untouched.

Time,
Determiner of existence.
What a complex companion:
What a frank friend;
What a secret enemy.
