(“In the Beginning There Was the Word and the Word Was Good”, 2019, original pen and ink)
The All Good, The All Inclusive
Under the umbrella of relative truth
Is the absolute truth
That despite appearances
It’s all good.
Everything has its place
In a conscious universe
Where responsiveness
Is the prime directive.
Huh? I hear you ask.
Everything happens as it is
To perfectly match our needs.
All religions, philosophies, mythologies and lifestyles
Meeting the need of whoever finds it attractive.
This doesn’t mean it’s relatively good,
As clearly some styles and choices are bad,
It means it’s absolutely good
Simply because it’s absolutely inclusive.
Because the definition of the Universe
Of Life itself
Includes everything.

Fully Inclusive
The beauty
Of being fully inclusive
Is that nothing
Can possibly offend you.
I have a dog like that….

Let it be
Come, all you who are thirsty.
Come to me!
For I'm all-inclusive.
I'm here for you, if you want me.
Talk to me; I will listen,
I am a sponge, a listener, a comforter,
ever absorbent, open and respectful.
A learner, all-inclusive, and contemplative.
Listen to me,
Feed on what's good,
that I can offer to help you.
I expect nothing in return.
Let me be an open giver and provider.
My heart is all-inclusive.
cherishing and worshiping difference,
with dignity and mutual understanding,
of each other's stance, belief, faith, and position.
We are all equally valuable and equally free-willed.
I have no need for you to be like me.
I have no need for you to like me,
or to like who I am, or what I stand for,
or claim, or want to be.
I have no desire to be like you,
or to change you, unless that is what you want.
Let's share our all-inclusiveness
together in a loving kind way.
So come - Let's live and let live!
Let it be
Development should be inclusive:
From far flung to the urban
From countryside to cityside
From the least to the greatest
From local to international arena
It's like a road, a railway
A blueprint, an organizational chart
A system or a scheme that everyone passed
Together hand in hand will improve, no one is left behind
A leader has short and long term solution
Crafting ideas and laws that benefit people up
Up in livelihood development consumption
Up in financial status development
Up in educational system development
Up in science and technology development
Up in research and development initiative
Up in marine and agricultural sustenance
Up in natural disaster mitigation and prevention
Up in government infrastructures and good governance
Up in digitalization process and innovation
Up in job placement and poverty reduction
Up in communication and in frequency
Excellent leaders think One Hundred Years ahead of his time.
“A map of the world that does not include Utopia is not worth even glancing at” Oscar Wilde.
Unlisted fascination,
Top-secret destination,
Occupation rates are low,
Paradise if you should go,
Ideal as your new resort,
All-inclusive, I'd have thought...
To the core, a woman is all inclusive;
Her presence is so conducive.
Minus her, our lives become reclusive;
Sans her, success is elusive.
She has the patience of the earth;
It’s ingrained in her from birth.
Without her, a home lacks mirth;
Her absence reminds us of her worth.
Her smile for us is like ‘Diwali’;
Irk her not, she knows how to be a ‘Kali’.
Though, she has roles to play many;
Has no complaints against any.
A daughter, a sister, a wife and a mother,
Like her you can’t find another!
Most of the places judged Exclusive
A keen observer impress as Elusive,
Doors firmly closed to The Intrusive,
Their sweet airy windows inclusive...
From these I'd try statements conclusive:
Fate not changed by one being intrusive
And, clearly,not by being submissive
In relation to the Exclusive
Kept by a body damned cohesive
With dumb hatred for The Permissive...
The whole thing,here on earth,instructive:
Look more inwardly: be constructive
Or soon thou shalt be The Promiscuous
For just wanting to be conspicuous.

somersault backwards
forwards becomes
the new normal
new families
make room

"There's room for a life in your womb, woman
Inside of you can be two, woman
There's room for a life in your womb, woman
Mama, woman, aha..."
"No, we never die for long
While we've got that little life to live for,
where it's hid inside
No, we never die for long
Oh, woman, two in one..."

Lyrics/"Room for the Life"

I
LORD, thy word and sword
They comfort and confront me
As with David, once shepherd then king
But he was reNEWed: man after Thy heart
Holy Spirit, drive me, pysh me to thy Word
For when I read more than daily devotions
As with Luke chapter 9, today
You grant me boons: bounty in Thy Way
Comfort, sword of The Word
II
Jesus trains and teaches across ten days
Knowing, foretelling, what waits in Jerusalem
The bitter cup of crucifixion in humiliation
But he dared NOT turn; set His face toward Zion
My savior! In the flesh He didn't know of Rising
That the holy spirit would resurrect & help defy death
The teaching, the miracles, the TEACHINGS
IN TEN DAYS Before his sacrifice of himself
In Jerusalem where bulls, sheep, pigeons died
As atonement. The most merciful teachings given:
Those not against us, are friends. The low is but High
Unless ye be as this child, you won't enter My Kingdom
Come on down to Inclusive Town
We will throw you in by your knee or chin
Come on my friend, and you all are
Matter of fact,
Become our holiday star
Rappers, scrappers, mappers too
You are all welcome
Yes!
I do
Mean
YOU!
Come on down and pick up a fiddle
They are on the floor.
Also in a pile.
Grab one in the middle
Come on down to Inclusive Town
where the air is free, and the dirt is brown
Come barefooted, wearing your holiday tops.
The music is free, and it never stops.
Want to paint?
Easels are free along with paint.
Don’t talk right?
We love your “ain’t”.
Shoe-tapping music all over this place.
Inclusive Town open to every religion and race.
You have three eyes?
From a different planet.
This place is for you.
We’ll rename you Janet
Or Pete or Clover or Cockeyed Sue.
The main thing is, we are waiting for you!
Your euphony
sounds like my epiphany,
he explicitly noted.
Your polypathic resilience
feels like my polyphonic resonance,
she compassionately warmed and comforted,
nurtured and nutritioned.
Your theologically divine relationships,
progressions through historical multicultural experience
think and feel my ecologically natural communions,
processions through polyculturing anticipations,
s/he silently sang,
imaginatively danced,
Not for future performance,
but from past inclusive participations,
co-investments,
compassionate regenerations,
dispassionate degenerations,
passionate incinerations,
Euphonic epiphanies.
An Inclusive Circle
When genesis breaks begin ends;
Enemies all omega friends;
Seldom challenge raptures go forth;
Endings varies never sprout sports;
Foreseen so are the middle cries;
Of the burning soul's teary eyes;
Upon status of ill good-byes;
Hallmark beginning makes you quake;
An inclusive circle
What was never was always blend?
Eternity begins no ends;
Over and over does transcend
Bring on the conclusion breaking;
Dominate spaces yet remain;
An inclusive circle

Boys can play in three’s.
Many girls not so much.
Boys do not have to have a best friend.
Many girls do.
Boys are loyal, inclusive.
Everyone can play.
Many girls, not so much.
My advice?
Play with boys.
Imagination's
interpretative dance,
a demanding
motivation amid
all-inclusive
reasoning,
satisfying like
burnt ashes
draggin' on puffs
of surreal
vapors,
as
mythological
dragons
exhaling
rhymes' escape
amidst poetically
chaotic ether
There's an upside to an All Inclusive Resort
But there's also a downside to an All Inclusive Resort
Young'uns are able to drink until they go blind
Absolutely bonkers, losing all sense of reality
Running amok into the wee small hours
Staggering up and down the halls yelling
Knocking on doors with no regard
For us old folks or families with children
I guess my age is showing BUT...
What ever happened to respect for others!!!
