Science
has brought
us closer
to the edge of our oblivion
Nuclear fission
angel dust
processed foods
and smog
Two steps forward
ten steps back
ennobling every dirty fact
as children choke and cry
There’s one award
the Swede’s leave out
that’s missing
on their dais
The Nobel Prize
for mass destruction
as progress masquerades
— unchecked
(Sweden: May, 2008)

Post-coital Tristesse:
Are you feeling violated, like you’ve repeatedly been the victim of some heinous, perverted molestation too gruesome to detail? Does the term gang rape fill you with a new-found sense of disgust? Do you feel as though you’ve been tossed out of Eden, your innocence lost, virtue corrupted, soul shattered? Do you feel empty despite the abundance of consumer goods that fill your shelves, stock your pantries, furnish your chambers, and entertain your senses? If so, there may be hope for you. If not, you’re a sl*t. If you feel like you’ve come away with a bad case of the clap, don’t be surprised. You did it to yourself. Now go home and put on your big boy pants or your big girl panties. There’s work to be done and you’re not helping. Let’s face it, most people are sheep. You can be like that, or you can take responsibility for ennobling the human condition by seeing through the bull! It’s your choice to make. Bon soir, mon ami.

White flag is the biggest worry
Of combat-ready soldiers already in a moving lorry:
Of communities with vampires thirst for blood
Wishing to with the dead cemeteries flood...
Of militants who denied the chance for murder
For themselves feel mortally sorry
And dreadfully out of order
The restraining factor, a thing to pillory.
White flag - the greatest dislike of angered cattle,
Who disapprove of a truce midway a heated battle...
Of terrible incendiaries and the worst guns
That love to ignite that which burns...
White flag is the most innocent job of tailors
Nurturing dreams more ennobling than dollars
Sibling of elderly Olive Branch
That enables the attacked in the morning to eat a peaceful lunch.

Is it the unrehearsed, instantaneous smile of a child in joy
As it looks at you and likes the kindly smile in your eyes
That you wish him well and the world is safe in your hands
And by its innocence and its daring to be friends with you,
You are inspired with the best of thoughts, the aura of a saint
And the joy of being alive and open to the love of the world.
Or is it the music of the olden times, the sad, pathetic whine
Of a violin sonata reminding you of the age old pathos of life.
The pride and passion, the laughter and total abandon of youth:
The story of joys that never return and pains that take no leave:
High above the rise and fall and rise again, hope eternal lives on.
Or is it the color, the charm, the ennobling beauty of the rose
That rises above thorns and conveys your love to your bride
That, through the ups and downs of life, you will remain loyal
To her and the children will come and bring you the still greater joys:
Their innocent mischief shines and makes life worth living.
Grateful thanks, and thanks again, for the beauty and glory of life!

========================
Father forms first fecund features
Attaining all adroit artisan attitudes
The trueborn titles truthful triumph
His humbleness hails heirship honor
Ennobling earthly efforts evoke excellence
Rearing relations retaining roots rights

Don't exist for your resume alone
Live, work with imaginative
passion
That is anchored on principled boldness
With poise and ease born of
graced conviction
As always, in compromising the truth
Nothing there is remotely
ennobling
Until you can courageously say no
Even your strongest yes
would mean nothing
Expectedly, at times you get confused
But trust your heart will
sooner show the line
You'll find you're braver, truer every time
And yes, your resume
will be just fine!

Scintillating muse providing inspiration
Jettisoning convention for innovation
Scuttling old patterns without expiation
Countermanding discourse with new creation
Alternating rhythms for lofty oration
Imbuing myths with crafty animation
Ennobling verse with majestic simulation
Abridging meter with stimulating catechization
Utilizing parody to intensify gratification
Brandishing riddles with crafty illusion
Burnishing irony in stunning profusion
Instilling prose with deeper alliteration
Suddenly, faltering in my bridled station
Confronted by seamless repetition
Disrobed of all callous pretension
Jaundiced at my mindless ambition
Reconsidered sages merited position
Re-read Homer, Virgil with more appreciation
Studying Shakespeare became new avocation
Bequeathing to the ancient bards greater approbation

Don't exist for your resume alone,
live with imaginative passion
anchored on principled boldness
with ease born of graced conviction;
for, in compromising the truth,
there's nothing remotely ennobling,
and until you can say no firmly,
your strongest yes means nothing;
of course, at times you get confused,
but trust your heart will show the line
and you're braver, truer every time,
and, yes, your resume will be just fine!

That leading's struggle, scened mundane
in day to day, coerced restrain,
I hold my ground, as if to claim
thy own indenture, in remain
as force for good, by God's proclaim.
And to my soul, a living seine
that pulls some justice to domain
of livelihood, seditious, main.
I trust my effort, not of gain,
but in thee truth, unselfish strain.
Some quality, convincing, plain
that commonness in worth's attain -
resultant, but from rigor's aim.
Consorting not, with bribery's feign,
that brings to wit, some covets name.
In prayer with thee, I ask as though
a personable bask would leave me vain,
and perish of console's adjust,
as hope in wonder could explain,
obliterating wronged of us!
The Lord, His answer be acclaim -
ennobling ...as the winds of thrust!
