Anointed in Kerosene to confer in agony with ignited desecration of mortal flesh to bone, seared by melting anguish writhe blistering contortions through a suppressed discomfort in furious continual thresh heshers pernicious by physical immolation.

"When thoughts cease to flow,
where does ego go" Unseeking Seeker
Can Ego escape its demise if it hides?
In mind's chimeric forest it abides.
It can wear a transparent look at times,
to entice Mind's oft-changing designs.
It might think to enter an empty mind
of concepts echoing when left behind.
But, not allowed, where its ego must dwell.
Our Ego's meeting its own type of hell.
Mind, ID and Ego, the three contradict
the others' views, creating their conflict.
Yet, in the end, it is mind that commands,
altho ID and Ego will make their last stands.
Ego: What are you sans me to add spice?
ID: Remember me, I'm the one who's nice.
If mind disappears, both also must go.
Loss will extinguish Ego's torrid glow.

I oft wonder about thee
the flame that once shone bright
into mine life
Have thou been extinguished
by all the lies
spread by deviance for all to behold
Or have thy flourished
using deceit and manipulation
to fuel forward
Nary a thought
as to the carnage you leave behind
in the hearts of others
Tis I ponder
Andreas Simic©
Extinguish fear and heart’s desire
Dwell in the vibrant void
God-connect is what we aspire
Bliss suffused, overjoyed
Awareness thought rested
Each pulse love attested
The way ego’s bested
Hold steady dear
Extinguish fear

Why with the
proliferation of nuclear arsenals
of a global scale
it seems as if
it's inevitable.
Someone eventually
has to drop
another nuclear bomb.
It appears that
it's only a
matter of time.
Why else would
there be so many
scattered around the earth?
Not to mention
all of the Wars
that continue on & on.
You would think
that human kind
would smarten up
and put an end
to all these atrocities.

Form: Vertical Monocrostic
Fires burning in veins of silent pray
Surface enters into the unseen inn
Not I’m in me without Your blessed ray
Bring I the water of Ganga to clean
Nothing can put out fire the alien
Sovereign power You carry alone
I get love in You as heavenly boon

DISTINGUISH AND EXTINGUISH
Thought I would put it in caps
like they enjoying doing in the
Capital Building where capital
ideas are constantly originated.
Here goes.
Best for Trump to do
Distinguish and extinguish;
We won't be enflamed.
James Thesarious Hilarious Horn
As usual bright and clever poet
Anyway a horn will toot or blow it,
And no matter how hard I try
My playing will always be bothered by.
We do not despise
What God gave us
We do not dislike
Our countless flaws
We whom wonder hastily
Clinching to life after life
Hanging on with no purposes
Just the desired selfishness
To be alive
Claiming to be depressed
Claiming to be out ruled
Outlived
But who is it to blame
When one tries continually and repeatedly
And the thing one desires
Is not to be set in claim?
To live is to be alive
Cling to life
Outspread life
And contaminate life
But when one has the false desire
To terminate life
One has gotten the opposite meaning of living
And other ones must help this one
Give him a better understanding
A better view
A brighter view of life
Or perhaps how foolish one could be to end such grace
How illogic and insane
Or perhaps ungrateful
One could be to the creator
To God
To Allah
To live fully
Is to truly extinguish
The bleak fire of one’s destruction
And to emblazon the torch of existing gratitude
