Alea Jacta Est

We never could get on. This was the last
of our attempts to find the golden mean.
We'd come here to the South of France, with wives,
a summer holiday of mending fences,
two colleagues seeking ways to rub along.

In Antibes (or in Aix - I don't recall),
as we were strolling down some tree-lined street,
I noticed an hotel. So

Acta est fabula, plaudite

What I sing from my chest
Only for ivory keys to hear.
Are the same old words
That cracked lips bear.
That familiar tune that calloused fingers play
Is the one that my own heart aches to say.
 
I have plucked and I have strummed
But when its my own heartstrings 
That are plucked for the masses
Will my soul succumb or

'moins Est Plus'

The crux
of a theory
 is in what
it rules out
Clearing
the runways
narrowing
doubt
With the ballast
tossed over
all clouds
disappear
Obstacles
moved …
solutions
are near

Caecilius Est In Forum

Caecilius est in forum
eyes closed as he spoke
looking as old, ash covered
as the language he was teaching
clinging on, barely, the class
drifting beyond windows
and tennis courts
what became of Caecilius
what became beyond windows

Hoc Est Corpus

Hoc est corpus*, hocus pocus
Legerdemaine, a shift in focus
Hoc est corpus, from the Mass
Hocus pocus, parody crass
Transubstantiation phrase
Ridicule, to baser plays 
Papists, Protestants at odds
Declaring doctrines with regards
To our Lord’s communinion meal
Causing strife, divisions real
Luther replaced trans with con
Zwingli’s bread, alone anon
Calvin said we participate,
Joined to Christ when we partake
Hocus Pocus, thus a slur
“Magical”, what

Our Chewing Est Dog

We named him Buddy. He is a Great Dane German Shepherd mix
A baby; we keep saying we should have called him Marmaduke.
In one month he has chewed up at least a hundred things.
He has chewed the lids off of twenty-four water bottles and six juices.

Did he dump them? No. He did it without spelling a

Alea Jacta Est the Die Is Cast

Alea jacta est !
           What Will be ?
           hate or love
           Nation united
           brotherhood
 

Minor Plus Est

Happy is he
who is content with the least
Whose hunger is sated
in famine he feasts

Happy is he
who begins at the end
And ends at the beginning
—his fortune to bend

When man came out 
of nature's womb

Deus Caritas Est L

Deus Caritas Est  L
 (God is love)
By: Miracle Man
3-22-2020


God has given to each His love without fuss,
Through love He gave us his only begotten son.
While we were yet sinners Jesus died for us,
Promising everlasting life when our race is run.

God gave us a commandment to love each other,
If we can’t love another then God

*****Lupus Homini Est

You will not often find me 
In amongst the fold
Being chased from the pen
Wherein your treasure lies 
I will not clothe myself in sheep
I cannot be but that which I am

lone 
I am wolf

If we are inclined to meat
I will grant what is yours
But choose to hunt me down
And I will eat you alive
I’ll gnaw

Translation With Commentary of On Est Les Oublies By T Wignesan

Translation of « On est les oubliés » (They/We are the neglected and forgotten lot)
by the songster-poet Gauvin SERS
(For the last two years, this young unassuming Frenchman, full of verve and disarming airs has been making his quiet ways around the provinces in Pas-de-Calais and Bretagne/Brittany. Now, this song is making its own way up

Verum Tamen---Verum Est

The Self, Free Will, and Love…
  today’s three illusions of life

Without just one our lives negate,
  a charlatan’s delight

For the Self to Love most Freely,
  this Holy Trinity must preside

What Plato ordained and Kant reframed
  —modern thought tries most to hide
