HONESTY
Double dealing yet convincing individuals
Are all over like clouds in the sky even though abominations-
They could be on every corner of every street ignoring the heat
Under their feet as they wait for a new victim or recruit
But you must never be one of them despite their many methods
Of persistently swaying-they will eventually abandon you when it
Benefits them even if you rip a hem-you deserve a better life than
Than that of a Judas Goat`
Never steal nor lie about either yourself or others
It is neither honest nor right to do either even if you can be
convincing and want to ruffle some feathers-leave it to those who
Who enjoy causing trouble and instead huddle with the honest
citizens- your honesty will grow stronger!
You wouldn’t hire
a fox
to reinvent
the henhouse
And you wouldn’t
task a mute
to shout
“The Enemy’s Approaching”
You wouldn’t
date a woman
another’s love
she carries
And you wouldn’t
give a hand
to a foe who’s pledged
to bite it
You wouldn’t
show your cards
to a double-dealing
cheater
And you wouldn’t
trust a bard
who can’t read his words
with feeling
You wouldn’t
take the time
from an hourglass
that’s empty
And you wouldn’t
stop to ponder
on an answer
— without question
(Dreamsleep: January, 2026)
In the saloon a lone, haggard cowboy
Had more than double his fill, one last sip
An imagined past of unlawful joy
Recounting the times he shot from the hip
Barstools turn for a showdown, tables flip
Caught scheming. More than his pride will suffer
A double-dealing, lone cowboy bluffer.
O Scribes of Thebes, take the noose, burn fiercely the words of Aleister Crowley.
For all the wisdom of the hieroglyphic signs lies in union with only one cosmorat-the creator of the tongue of the sun-god Ra and counterpart of Seshat and spouse to Ma'at.
And If a man is double-dealing and his utterance is false, do not trust his utterances, do not heed his tales of woe_ !
In the beginning of creation were hermeneutics, astronomy, geography and medicine
When Thoth was taught the signs of the sacred tablet .
How dare Egypt! How dare Hesert, Abydos, Rekhui, Per-Ab, Urit, Pselket, Hat, Sep, Ta-ur, Bah,Antcha-Mutet ,Talmsis, Ta-kens and Amen-heri-ab Shrines!
Tell you the truth you scholars and believers who dwelleth in these darkest places of Thoth: In Judgment of Monsoon, your souls shall be extirpated from the surface of the Terra Firma.
Men who bow in homage to the face of Adam and mankind,
There's a spectrum of atom, sun, four elements, five saints, dimensions six. Go seek His attributes! But explanations cannot compass him.
The Ides of March, oh woe betide
Twas on this day that Caesar died
Stabbed by his double-dealing men
Remorselessly, time and again.
Twenty-three times the knives were thrust;
Take care therefore in whom ye trust.

Foolish folly in the house of putrid politics
Dirty deeds up their sleeves double-dealing tricks
Forgetting the homeless, ignoring the poor
Though staying between the lines of the law
Oh ! And the law, well that’s another story
One suggesting a lavish lavatory!
For the criminal not for the upstanding
Not for the meek though only demanding
Yes the pecking order is quite transparent
With suited criminals all apparent
Trickling down such bad behaviour
Praying to my only saviour-
Please help them to sow seeds of decency
Awaken the blind to the difference of recency
For this society unravels the very pits
When ruled by a bunch of moronic dimwits
With crime through the roof that hinders well-being
Many are silent with sickness from seeing
The defeated and shattered upon a tightrope
Without any justice-there is no hope!
When reading
and singing
and dancing poetry
enspiriting choreography
of emotively ecological
geography,
I need not check my WestBrain dominance
at rhetoric's healing door,
But bring Him/Her with me
once Yang/Yintegrally more
To heal chaos
and restore
What EarthMothers preach
and practice
and adore
No severance between Earth's natural systemic Truths
and Ego's spiritually animated
reweaving complex Beauty
denying doubts
not not double-binding Fractures
Would explore
healing
could implore
we stop where harm has unfolded
outside spacetime's
double dealing door.
Questions that can't be Answered
vs Answers that can't be Questioned.
It is not up to you to choose.
Which side of self is the
darkside of the room?
PRC-13, Theta Bravo.
Ideas Satellite-, a skull shaped moon.
Light, is it beaming?
Do you choose for yourself, sensitivity.
Scheming.
Relativity.
Double dealing.
Do you choose them, to live your
conscience for you?
Over sunsets cover, lies are lies,
but all one truth.
Starblind.
Starstruck.
Eyes are eyes, but the World sees better than you.
Especially we, visionaries-true.
Here is our wisdom.
Do not pre-judge "the lost",
they deserve a future-with our protections too.
Although,
it would be interesting to know,
"how does silence come by you?"
Is it the relaxing, kind?
Peaceful, isn't it.
A one way transmission is how
refection can work, like a mirror, image,
of the Beast, in you.
As for the suggestion box contributors, YELPing.
We do not need programming suggestions.
You need ours in double helping.
Just sit down and STFU.
You are now a Terrorist,
held for questioning.
One Nation
It started in one moment.
It was not expected by all.
There was a clamor, of glamour…
Among those perceived higher than others,
By they themselves.
While all across America…
Not quietly others rejoiced,
For the system was true.
Deplorables!
Fraud, backstabbing, double dealing…
It should not have happened.
How did everything fail?
That was their scream,
that was their chant, their mantra, their song.
A man was elected to office.
A good man, an honest man, a real man.
He was there to serve the people.
Not one person, but …Our Whole Nation Under God!
He was there to honor the flag.
He was there to fulfill promises.
He was there to stand by his word.
“They” beat their drums of war.
“They” pulled at their hair and noshed their teeth.
“They” made up lies and repeat, to gain power by deceit.
One nation under God, Our Father in Heaven…
We hold up our President, to you.
Bless this man, Bless this nation,
In God We Trust
Amen
You prance about when on display,
as you strut your mane flows each way.
You flash so proudly to show you're pretty,
but will your plan save our city?
You talk of others who are to blame,
to you it seems just a game.
Your raucous edicts send us reeling,
then we find you're double dealing.
Our people need ideas not flare.
Can you look where we not dare?
Substance wins out in the long contest,
those with heart lead all the rest.
For the good of all should be your claim,
best for one is a weak refrain.
In the parade of life you're the pony,
history will show you're just a phony.
Conspiracy and Heresy
Had been surrounded by insecurity and heresy,
That turned into a theory about conspiracy;
Started out revealing,
About double dealing,
Which was done obviously and conspicuously.
More to deeply thing about.
Jim Horn
Maine is an open weapons state. Regardless
of what State the killer lived in, he would still
kill. The more available weapons, the more
opportunities to kill. Always requite a background
check involving a cool down period. One weapon
per person over a lifetime so there are no
accumulation of arms. USAF required person
to have a background check before enlisting.
What was his RE code on his DDD 214?
Some things to think about. I am a retired
veteran myself who had a Top Secret Security
Clearance background check according to my
DD 214 that is available for public consumption
and asked for when applying for jobs.
Stripping and peeling,
exposing what lies beneath-
Double-dealing underworld.
Cant stand the rain It feeds the pain of me looking forward to sleeping with out
you once again. O how the pain shine when it rain I thought we were more than
lovers and the best of friends yet I'm alone and crying again. All I want is to
express my hurt and hope that you regret all your double dealing dirt. But every
time I try to forgive I remember your anger and all your ill will.
