The said hieroglyphics drove into the night,
Racked up its mystery, then parted and swiped,
Bellowed at suspicion and candid eye sight,
To foster fomented a reasoned parallax, piped.
Left to right, oppositely for contrite poise,
Firm doors open keen, quick ready pens,
Horizontal alignment - or vertical repose noise,
A quiet supposition leaks to radiate slight dens.
Nowhere are the changers and the dyes,
Tainting for pleasure with respect full in heart,
The sound of footsteps - here, there, with eyes,
Demarcating foundations from glittery art.
The ben is there - detected and rye, sucking,
Shuffling previous dust beside dirt untouched,
The crazy ones create the world for bucking:
Reason defines the fibre, with mesh touched.

In field of emotions, a fire-storm has grown,
Seeds of rebellion aflame and wind-borne are sown.
Creating chaotic scenes, burned by spirit's flame,
Fomented fervor, a revolutionary game.
Fomented hearts, with courage compromised are made lame,
Unyielding on purpose, foments have staked their claim.
Anger simmers, rancor seethes, and heart beat wavers
In the cauldron of discord, it quivers quavers.
Fomented minds, with thoughts so tainted, twisted unkind,
Make claims to sublime reason, unravel unwind
They inflame the embers of long stagnant belief,
Awakening the masses asleep, pedaling grief.
The frothy foment foam spewed up into the crowd,
Ignites ferment and loathing in threatening cloud.

Suppose the barrage of apocalyptic theories is true
While time is forevermore drawing to its climactic end
What? my friend, … just what are you going to do?
Will you find some nutcase group with which to blend?
Spending the rest of your days in anguish and fright
While time is forevermore drawing to a climactic end?
Is it possibly true you are letting yourself lose sight--
Believing these conspiracy theories with no authentication,
Spending the rest of your days in anguish and fright?
Without regard for the danger they cause our nation
Creating fear, desperation, and panic throughout the land,
Believing these conspiracy theories with no authentication.
The greatest fears are fomented by lies gotten out of hand
Widely spread through an irresponsible social media
Creating fear, desperation, and panic throughout the land.
Better to study the ancient documents, the encyclopedia,
Suppose the barrage of apocalyptic theories is true
Widely spread through an irresponsible social media,
What, my friend? … just what are you going to do?

I see everything from an emptiness point of view
I hear silent cries and whispers falling on deaf ears
I smell an avarice of a fomented Revolution
I savor the approaching sense of a pandemic Renaissance
I feel we are born-still on a very very very long journey to an enlightenment
I mind those impermanent treasures leading to a Dharma stream of
not-self collectedness of thought trained Wisdoms

Lust is like the salt of the sea.
The artificial Ambrosia or Siren's fomented Mead.
Augmenting thirst, the more you drink.
Forgetting the drink came first. Then came a thirst.
To be unshackled to idols in idle mutiny.
Before the fermentation of idolatry. Figureheads,
flotsam and shipwrecks on the seven stormy seas.

The Great War and India
Thousands of soldiers from India`s interior
(I.5 million) were sent to fight in the Great War
Many of them died and were maimed just
so Britain could keep its hegemony.
When books were written, and history told
somehow the Indian soldiers were mysteriously
forgotten erased out, until now.
But disquiet lingered India became restless
they served the British grudgingly formed
a political party but the Brits arrested, tortured
the leaders and threw them into jail, but
the idea once fomented didn`t die and 1947
It became a reality, India was free.

In the land of milk honey and hate
The Evangelicals sealed it fate
Demanding its citizens religiosity
Inherent of its edits misogyny
Women second class Taliban
Treated as a form of contraband
The Oligarch fomented dissent
While the peasants paid their rent
The war machine marched along
Its armies played King Kong
It became the land of moral decay
A nation that had lost its way
There was no moral authority
They cheated and groped with impunity

a cavalcade wept ashore with frenzy like a beastly bus
oblivious of tribes who blissfully dealt without a fuss
triangulated within an ever narrowing pen
contaminated, decimated, eradicated “red” men
once a collection of indigenous separate “nations”
plucked by invaders who usurped america as their den
releasing poison couched as religion into the air
which indignities true colors became readily clear
when europeans “discoverers” fomented war-fare
to those who found themselves in deadly cross hair
every inch of “new world” grimly rustled in every lair
with deadly piping hot metallic bullets with near
with unfamiliar customs on par with a satyr
without means to escape any direction they did veer
cohesion of unity did annihilate without a trace
that belonged to those who stood apart as separate race
paraded as “exotic specimens” in some faraway place
bandied about as if some rare refined silken lace
of their rightful home by chicanery tactics base
to banality, effrontery, hostility though dined
with travesty from Europeans whose dreams lined
against so called original occupants who got maligned.

They mere-go-round in
fermented anger
like an underground tormented
ghost
wondering in fomented
questions
why are they kept under?
To undergo a wonder test
without rest
They get filled with uncooked
ego
because the thunder why
numerous wonder is been
performed by western *****'s
In the mist of this
They limp and mix temper with
pamper
And get chimp fixed in a
hamper
And also smell around like small
He-goats
because,
they have leaned, learn and
surrendered to a stem of
growth
But still wallow and wonder in
forest of Rwanda
This has decreased the cream
of their dreams
and floated them in the stream
of confusion
It's unfortunate
for they wonder in Rwanda
forest
In a slate of confusion
And they boldly forget how to
speak their native tongue
for they wonder in Rwanda
forest

The Deposition
The love God gives remains unbound.
Jesus of Nazareth came down.
Everlasting, His love abounds.
Deliverer and Redeemer: crucified, He died.
Eternal sacrifice, His perfect life tried.
Painfully executed, giving no retort to their lies.
Omnipotent creator, teacher, and revelator
Righteous, He lived, and died; over sin the victor.
Incomprehensible pain He, for us bore.
Two women, Mary, His mother, and Mary Magdalene
Inconceivable how perfect love and wisdom fomented.
Overcome with grief, Nicodemus and more lamented.
Never ending love, on the third day Jesus the Christ, alive presented.

The gloomy storm brightens drab city streets,
leaving mirror puddles on cold black tar
cleansing red blood from curbs of violence,
fetid odors of stale fomented beer.
The sweat of the city evaporates,
invading nostrils like a down hill sewer
inhaling, a gutter gully gusher.
Steam bellows forth in systematic bursts,
aborting unwanted vapor pressure
in subterranean tunnel caverns
from pitted, porous, perforated pipes.
The city bathes itself in acid rain
scoring concrete, etching brick, eating flesh.
This cities' long needed bath is last seen
floating away, skimming old power lines
toward the next open manhole in its path.
