Within me was raw matter, and not cold suet,
Another’s fat denies my juicing muscles neat;
Hormones - chemistry kissing crude physiology,
With cells bursting in sociology’s colour - biology.
Never harming the idempotent individual as god,
Nature veers and steers, within, away from tod;
Yet claiming rugged, sheer beauty, by piercing air,
Exquisite scenes of eloquence give glimpse fair.
Primal mover’s first move appropriates the span,
Whilst questioning the prerogative by his face tan,
Freedom twice reminds the kin of liberty’s quest,
Enveloping the partaker, guest, in free will, blest.
Truth never fetishes, fondles, or offsets in grief,
But is there, existing in differentiation in belief -
Never superseding its personable chief of portrait,
It sculpts the panorama reckoned in true straight.
India’s caste still decides our dignity—
Not just apathy, but our lived condition,
We react the moment we perceive another’s identity.
The rage of symbols distracts us;
Language flares—
Wounding the non-native.
Our sphere dreams of “Viksit Bharat”,
But it doesn’t rhyme with reality—
We still breathe in the same old Bharat,
With the same claims, yet to combat (discrimination).
As we undergo vicissitudes, knowledge of boundless skies—
Which uplifts us every single time
Like bilingual voices flowing into a multilingual style,
Soaking every vein of mine.
So—educate! Agitate! Liberate!
For in the human rage of this world,
We are sunken in discrimination, differentiation, and segregation;
At every stage.
Come—let us do good, be good,
And stand as one among others.
Instead of isolation
consider oscillation
Proof positive
is clear to see
It all boils down
to frequency
Which of these words
hits close to home
a metronome or
garden gnome?
Their differentiation
lies in oscillation
Metronomes oscillate
tick-tick-tick
Garden gnomes isolate in
s i l e n c e
s i l e n c e
s i l e n c e
Will tick-tick-tick
define your life
or silence filled with
fear and strife?
Proof positive
is clear to see
It all boils down
to frequency
Instead of isolation
consider oscillation
Live life one tick at a time
Meter matters as does rhyme
Situational awareness
Won’t protect you if you’re careless
How much better at day’s end
to be found kind
Notice: from here on
poets, only write about posies
and rosies -- aching heart
with drippy nosies is OK if
kept politically correct --
No sex differentiation allowed
Be not definite, and be proud.
Be spiritual, but no mention
of god -- Light is alright,
but do not suggest of Light
divine relationship and Christian
connotation
poet, forget your old beloved nation
let new government sanction your
heart, -- consider the empathetic IRS
before you start --
Wisely stay atop the water

Racists today are those who label others racists.
It’s no different than labeling someone a witch
long ago
in the hope of directing the hysteria of the crowd
their way.
People who are insecure
for whatever reason
need to bring others down
to justify being down themselves.
Is it racist to acknowledge racial differences?
Of course not,
just as it isn’t speciest to acknowledge differences in species.
People who acknowledge these differences are called
biologists.
People who acknowledge racial differences in humans
are called talent scouts (doctors and detectives)
as their racial profiling
gets them looking in the right places
for the best athletes, artists, scientists, engineers (diseased and criminal).
The world is, if nothing else,
a place of specialization and differentiation
each region, each people
evolving its own
strengths and weaknesses.
And if this reality offends you
you’re likely one of those accusing others
of being racists.

Shine bright like the sun
But don't forget to have fun;
Discipline and education
Should go hand-in-hand as one.
Learn the calmness of the moon
Don't let failures make you swoon;
Of yourself, be the best version
With others, never make a comparison.
Like the wind, always be on the run
But don't get swayed by words of anyone;
To be gentle, or to show your brawn
May you learn that differentiation.
Like the earth, have some patience
Don't get buried under emotions;
Help people below your position
Without putting it on exhibition.
May God always shower his affection
And keep you under his protection;
This, in essence, my loved one,
Is a prayer for you, my dear Son.
Life is a matter of compulsion,
Don't wonder with frustration.
Script is with the boss of creation,
It is written in succession.
Entry and exit have got fixation,
Without any time dilation.
No matter take precautions,
Hope for some concessions.
Righteousness in your actions,
With a given fixed situation,
May create a rigid differentiation.
A problematic life is a gift of creation,
It has got God's authorisation.
You should feel lucky for this selection,
Congratulations for this promotion.
Do justice to it with proper execution,
It is the best possible option.
At last you get appreciation,
At the end of your completion.
Life becomes a devotion,
Without any exemptions.
I used to know of sex as a gender
That gives differentiation to human face
Then my heart was a pure shelf so tender
Studying was all that have my heart's space
Male do be nothing than a masculine
Reliability paints him family's pride
Female no doubt is the peach feminine
Docility grace her price good for bride
But when the time has now come to its prime
The view about male and female changed
Which has been the cause of outrage sex crime
Provoking social control now deranged
Indecent dress isn't a YES to rape
Let's admire others in genuine agape
There was a bit of weird aggravation
at the status quo political party’s liberation
Many were feeling a teensy bit of degradation
After an insane and unexpected altercation
Inflicted after an impromptu demonstration
encouraged by some of the administration
To bring some zany new ideas that could cause frustration
Dangerous also, for they could cause happiness and jubilation.
Leading to transcontinental meditation
Which might lead to thought and concentration
Dubious dangers of delivering diverse differentiation
Might work the party toward a new level of graduation.
learning disabled
should be re-labelled
learning differentiation
a much wiser representation
some of the most remarkable actresses and writers
those who think differently and are advocates and fighters
have been labelled this weird label.
I am one of them, no fable.
Radiance divine
Emerging from within
An effervescence
Staff of power illumined
By Mother
Our back supported
By Father
Form unified in the flame
Three fold
Aglow in our heart
Toroidal
Love as a bliss mist
Fragrance bewitching
Wisdom by resonating
With the universe
Power by inactive action
The void itself
Manifestations bubble
Borne of thought
Held in a web of desire
Suffused with love
In playfulness
That in the hall of mirrors
Reflections glisten
Prismatically
To delight
Our soul

Notes: Spanda is the original, primordial subtle vibration that arises from the dynamic interplay of the passive and the creative polarizations of the Absolute, and that by unfolding itself into the energetic process of differentiation bringing forth the whole of creation. ~ source spanda.org
Imagine
a secluded American town
some where next to you.
Run by the republican far right.
Where
not only do all of its citizens walk around naked all day,
but also both have female and male sexual organs.
That work side by side across the isle inverted.
Terms like 'male' and 'female'
usually only are applied to trisexuals)
as explained in an expository segment near the beginning
says the sign before entering.
Who does Or does the body examinations?
The children as early as thirteen months
simply make up the manifest of all adult genders
that would have become dominant
no matter whom did what ever to whom?
Where no one is schizomorphic or somewhere between?
Democratic become intermorphs because they're both apparently feminine even
after adult differentiation, but schizomorphs in that they seem to fill
recognizably male and female social roles.
According to Rick Perry whom as president put no one to death.
Here it seems no one can leave by the rear.
Delusion using imagination
Reflections of attention enlivens
Arising from differentiation
Polarisation has stillness shaken
Inversion of awareness so looking
Pausing thus awhile to assimilate
Stretches time itself, whilst so stagnating
Ego spawned bubbles thereby co-creates
Dreamed not knowing that it is the dreamer
Searches for itself amidst illusions
No one else may awake it from stupor
Until exhaustion ushers cessation

Instinctive emotional response before considered thought,
experienced salutation by proprioception wrought.
Whispers towards the required faith,
when the gut feeling is the mate.
Hesitations that determine any destination,
following the knowing will of reputation.
Perspective intelligence to trust the instinct,
respect the walk of given path distinct.
Inherited ability to never walk alone,
peptides communication as metaphor sown.
The beauty from the guts allow decision in instant,
conviction of the mind by phenomenal insistent.
The differentiation of genius from mediocre,
cleared up doubts and righteous provoker.
The invisible map of intuition,
contributing solution coming to fruition.
Guts in power sets itself in perfect place and time,
the process of necessities in all the same.
O my guts, mother Mary and Joseph,
blessings in potions of wisdom are always enough.
black balloons surround a doomed era
black flowers overtake the colorful effervescence
darkness lingers and makes tingle my fingers
life is a dust bowl day without you
i sit and watch my footprint sneeze on the dusty carpet
i stand and cry when the spiders poke fun at me in every corner and laugh
i scream and shout when the slightest thought of your arms around me has me begging for differentiation
life is a dust bowl day without you
my blood is mixed with pickle juice in a jar in the broken fridge
my pain is written all over the walls in poetic expressions of woe
my heart is cut out by me and says prayers each night for its own survival outside of me
life is a dust bowl day without you
