From the hair of waif-like scent
On the petals of the earth
The red lips of sleeping sea
Becomes love emblem

HEADLINE NEWS
Dear Readers (of every major news publication in the USA):
Our apologies for the following error, which we’ve made almost daily for
18 years, since 2006:
. for misidentifying Hamas*-controlled Gaza (as ‘Israeli-occupied Gaza’).
We sincerely regret the thousands of deaths caused by our inadvertent
error, as well as any inconvenience to you, dear readers.
~ Editors-in-Chief ...
*Hamas is officially recognized as a terror organization by the US
government It is responsible for murdering thousands of Jews in
Israel and around the world over the past 30+ years -- as well as
tens of thousands of deaths of Arabs living under its (Hamas')
civilian authority (i.e., in Gaza).

In deeper depths we strive to peek
through sharper optical technique
and glimpse beyond to sights unseen
with magnifying lenses keen
and special telescopic tweak.
Still here on earth with doublespeak
we inadvertent havoc wreak
albeit nature holds the lien
in deeper depths.
Yet ‘midst the visible mystique
within perception’s mien oblique
concealed beneath illusion’s screen,
could there be beingness serene
an all-embracing realm to seek
in deeper depths?
~ Harley White

“Inadvertent Climate Modification”
By: Miracle Man
5/5/2022
In the early seventies by this moniker it was known,
then global warming and today, climate change.
Today, blaming most things on it many are prone,
but climate change is now a more acceptable exchange.
Words have evolved until finding one with appeal,
one not so offensive, that just rolls off a tongue.
One to be the backbone of the Green New Deal,
like most socialist agendas I find it far flung.
Politicians use climate change to push their agenda,
everything that happens seems to stem from this.
They offer up more cool aid sweetened with Splenda,
while doing their jobs many have become remiss.
The climate has been changing since time began
and will continue until God ends it.

Do your fingers ever write faster
Than your brain thinks of the words?
You discover incomplete sentences
That do not mean what you thought.
You find that you’ve omitted a verb
And so, your phrase has no action,
A modifier left unsaid, no traction.
In a comment, or, in writing a blurb
Proofread before sharing what's wrote.
As for you, I can think of instances
Where inadvertent omits were hazards
More often for me, they’re a disaster.

how still is our silence, hermit
if we yet calibrate merit
searching, discerning and seeking
inadvertent acts, soul stifling
far cry yet, tranquil calm perfect

If lines and verse are indeed
the tool's we poet's are to use
in order to dictate the thought
process of one's inner soul
Then surely love should capture
an inadvertent overture of subtleties,
tenderness and kindness
And on the other hand if one wishes
to vent one's rage the pen should
pierce deep into he page
And yet at any stage what once
at first began as love can just as
easily turn to rage
As love and rage are seldom not
poles apart
Much like tears of joy and sorrow
Just depends on feelings at a
certain point in time and how we
choose to express them then
And whether or not one was hopelessly
head over heals in love and wanted
all the world to know
Or rather suffering the painful
affliction of abroken heart and
want your significant other to pay

What seems kindness trivial
maybe for the other crucial
Let us be watchful of denial
inadvertent harm irretrievable

Sometime times keeps moving
Moving is the times
Time is just a moving thing
It never stops just keeps going
A wise man once said inadvertent to the reality
Limit to the lazy man
Prophecy to say
Man he may kill time
But one day time will kill U

Words Often Hurt
Written: by Tom Wright
March 2015
Evil thoughts germinate like sprouting seeds,
Once birthed, as words, they’re released toward targets,
As unmanned drones to seek and destroy;
While the intended quarry may escape these scathing words,
Inadvertent collateral damage
To the launch site has already occurred;
Words cannot be launched, as projectiles, toward another
Without feeling the backward escape of unburned powder;
Tom

WE WENT HAYWIRE
The fruit of horrendous hurry
Hung appeasingly aloof
On a green tree with white lumpy leave
Situated amidst a green garden
We harvested it imperiously
The day we went hay wire woefully
The day we hurried for inadvertent independence
Six months old premature pregnancy
Hurried to breathe brazenly
Hurried to wean wretchedly
Viewed Mrs. Colonisation as a messed milk
Now we hurry to her for magic milk
Now we hazardously hurry
Hurry for a derailed democracy
Hurry for an unwieldy unity
Hurry for a callous change
Hurry for a grievous government
A little more prudent patience
Would have that manifest magic
Which current leaders preposterously promise

i did not see you then
i do not know you now
the dark roots of your love penetrate
the white threads of your smile piercing
my turbulent blue veins
your inadvertent presence fruits of notes
exquisite splendour, testimony of chords
closed mouth seems to speak
the secrets of the tormented love
the ignorance of your lasciviousness
your sleeping eyes seem to see
polar stars gleaming in bliss
resplendent white roses
music shouts then eases
into the depth of the sea
rambling down the cobbled pathway of
your altered subconscious innocense
music groans grieves then spread
to the unknown galaxy of my dreams
climbing thin vines twisting roots
the dark leaves tremble then fall
in the entrenched soil of life
the death fertilises sprouts
a new flower is born

U n c o n s c i o u s while the entire universe
fights against her reality,
she seems to have been MISTAKEN…
She makes all things decent worse,
holding an insensitive mentality,
while all her inhibitions have been TAKEN-
She carries on without contemplation,
forcing her into an oblivious revelation.
C o n t i n g e n t upon her choice to let go,
she reveals the reasons she was rejected-
Stoic and heedless, she craves CONCERN…
Preoccupied with loss she sinks below,
never feeling appreciated or connected.
For absorption of memories she does YEARN.
She craves the desire of a burning sensation,
Forcing her into an oblivious agitation.
N e g l i g e n t to life, she’s always distracted,
feeding off intellect while absent-minded-
Uncurious as to why she’s never felt LOVE…
She once found hope but she overreacted,
and always had to be kindly reminded,
that sometimes awareness comes from ABOVE.
She feels a rush of an inadvertent obliteration,
forcing her into an oblivious orientation.

The genesis of its life;
Inadvertent step on the toe.
The little dark seed is planted;
A spark starts a fire.
An enemy is born.
The valley of the shadow
Of unforgiveness;
A fiery way for hatred
Roasts dark
The heart borne out of purity
Of the creator.
Desperateness to kill
Metamorphoses the pious.
A sword is wielded
By the hand
Of the new-borne
Into the dark kingdom
To do the avoidable -
Revenge!
