Inconversant Ivan is inconsolable and inconspicuously indistinctly
Illinois and Iowa ignorant. Instinctively and incredulously inducing
Illustrative ideas that implement indefinable individual
Indifference, ignoring Aunt Inez’s illustrious ideals.

It's changing.....
Vastly and speedily before our eyes
O, Mother Gaia
Kali to Satya
A cyclic continuum...
Vestiges of a time before
Conspicuously and inconspicuously transitioning to
a new lore
From 'Iron' to 'Golden'
To new from olden
O, Mother Gaia
Kali to Satya
Social unrest, immorality, and stygian clouds
abound
A dark place where peace and love seemingly just
can't be found
But a new is to come...
Far away from
Away from Kali
To golden truth and sincerity
No more masks will be worn in an occult-riddled
Gaia
Soon golden rays will shine light on the darkness in the
dawn of Satya

There was a time back in 2009
A group of countries inconspicuously
got in line
In line to build, build, and build
Brazil, Russia, India, China and South Africa
inaugurated the big guild
A mission to lay brics upon brics
And build a new mansion replete with rooms
that's Magnifique
Meanwhile, the old mighty dollar is losing
its might
BRICS are steadily being laid and the new
house is growing in height

You want to requite my love;
You already have with a ring
And many years of life
So this I command you to bring:
A bouquet of chocolate flowers –
Each with a nice, dark button
Comparable to your eyes –
And a fragrance as divine.
Put it together with care –
Tape it inconspicuously –
Present it when I’m caught unawares
And you have hours to give me.
Such a bouquet – bright and simple –
As native as the mourning dove –
Would be a challenge worthwhile
Your time and your love.

Revealing what may be
rhetorical perspective
Concealing vagueness of
others as a collective
Irrational is the truth
from all the official lies
Impractical to expose
those once thought so wise
Anonymously to be judged,
I then had to reflect
Inconspicuously to be ignored,
just show me respect
Dismissiveness from others
can be so undeserved
Submissive assumptions
repeatably observed
Deception experienced in
an inferiority disguise
Exceptions delusional
fundamentally they deny
Concerning yet I do
appropriately understand
Discerning discriminating
principles are at hand
Generated tremendous
excitement and in debate
Sedated by unparalleled
contributions dictate
Double standards and chauvinists,
there’s no doubt
Troubles considerable,
as they would openly flout

My 3-year-old showed me something on my phone...
And said, "look at this place"
Bewildered, she seemed frightened
I could see it...by the look on her face
When I looked at my phone; inconspicuously
I thought to myself, "hmm-why fear"
Swirling through the sky and all through the clouds
A mountain of steps, reaching to...somewhere
She tries her best...to count all the steps
But, at age three, she had barely counted to seven
So long a trail...geez
I lost count, after one thousand-eleven
So getting back to the fear she endured...
Was from the stairway to heaven that was built by the lord
Then when I explained, to her...it was meant for the good
She smiled so sweetly, just the way...that I thought that she would

The sun smiles a greeting at me
I meet his wan rays graciously
unblinded, unbowed
unblinking --
I hold the cards now
in December
the sun's played his hand --
Pale, absent fire
he slips
inconspicuously
below the horizon

Unconventionally more,
more or less.
More isn’t much more,
nor is less anymore less.
Time and faith,
maintaining keen perspective.
Inconspicuously but fundamentally,
it is... undeniably more.

In the comforts of our prison, we seek and scan,
Losing our connections while connected at hand,
Lies we invent just so our facade can ascend,
Obliviously blissful, all just for pretend,
Inconspicuously driving us to resent,
Every part of our lives. A Living discontent.
So heads up. Open your eyes and put down your hand,
Let's connect by presence, not by messages sent.
Be in the now. Forget schedules and live unplanned,
Look around and feel your senses flood in content,
Feel the beat of your heart and the heat of your scent.
Our senses are what truly connects us. Godsend.

depression starts inconspicuously
slowly creeping into thoughts, actions, words
gradually poisoning with suicidal thoughts
it happens over time
spiders creep in
entangling the butterflies in your stomach in a web of despair
because depression doesn’t have the courtesy to ring the doorbell
it creeps through the back entrance of your soul, its dark aura absorbing the light
if depression weren’t so surreptitious,
less would fall victims to it
because depression is the silent killer
he is the one who keeps us silent
it is he that forces out the ‘fine’ when someone asks how we are
it is he that keeps himself concealed so others don’t think we’re insane
it is he that tears us apart from the inside
and keeps us within his grasp

When I'm pining for the power to yield
Breaking all the branches I seize
Acres for the taking in a forest of mistakes
I can't see for the trees
I level
With the shallow playing field
Dreaming up a blueprint to floor you
Delicately drafting
Inconspicuously crafting
The grand facade before you
Where my art lies
The best is underwhelming
When it comes to helping
How I promised I woul...
So I'm peeking past the pitch of my prime
Modeling the modern stage
Perforating patience with a paradox
In place of where the sophist meets the sage
I level
With the hallowed bottom line
Hopeful like the point of a nail
Architecture fractures
In apocalyptic rapture
Where false frameworks prevail
There my heart lies
The beat is overwhelming
When it comes to helping
How I swore I could
I guess I'm knocking on wood
Knock knock knocking on wood
Excess
Will not lead to progress
Will not let me access
What I learned I should
Rid me of
Termites
Crawling into airtight
Trademarks of my disguise
Make me decide I'm good
When I'm just knocking on wood
Knock knock knocking on wood
Knock knock knocking on wood

The gentle river that flows through your fingers
Your untameable spirit that panthers with power
To your subtle flow to oceans of hidden treasure
I surrender on a trickle of a wave to your meander
I dreamt of a blanket that had me warm with desire
It was the yawn of a hippo that soothed me over
I looked for you through the eyes of a crocodile’s hunger
And saw your deep longing for its spiral cover
You opened your mouth to the sea like a snake
Your tail at the horizon ahead, had a rattle to shake
A beautiful sunset along the landscape to shape
A memory of a journey over time and rock to the cape
Here you are finally, by my side, as I sit and ponder
About the tree that your delta inconspicuously anchors
And we end up here, from a shallow stream to ripe peaches,
Surrounded by a gentle breeze atop the highest branches

The cries of a silent heart
In the face of pain
Pumps dry tears
Whispers of a broken heart
Inconspicuously smile
Shattered words

Sinful from conception,
Defiled at time of birth.
Nameless, isolated, naked
We were brought into this earth.
Lifeless from the start;
Born into a hearse.
Destined for perdition—
A condescending curse.
The vulgarity of existence,
Obscene reality.
Inconspicuously blessed,
A sure fatality.
Seeking virtuous conformity,
A title for our own,
The Father, Son, and Holy Ghost
Serve as the keystone.
The need to be absolved,
The fate to be reversed,
Hopelessly waiting pardon
In prosaic verse.
Drowning our transgressions,
In water, we are immersed.
In the name of the Triune God,
Deliver us from this curse.

You Won’t Believe Who I Saw at Target
By Elton Camp
I was surprised at who I thought that I did spy
But caught her only out of the corner of my eye
Even with a baseball cap and such dark glasses
I thought, “For the First Lady that easily passes.”
But of interest and surprise I didn’t show a trace
After all, she is entitled to her own private space
Nevertheless, a round-about shopping route I took
So perhaps I could inconspicuously get a better look
That time there wasn’t even the slightest doubt
From the White House, Mrs. Obama had slipped out
Standing around were several men in casual clothes
They were Secret Service. Anybody can spot those
That she’d shop in a discount store I had to admire
She could’ve bought anywhere her heart did desire
But if Wal Mart ever should happen to find it out
They will wish they had gained her favor, no doubt
