manifestations
metal beads dropped in
a great jar of liquid glass
will anything grow—
from inorganic kernels
tucked within a sunless hall?
rainbow branches rise
as brittle flames pierce the seas
crystal cores blooming
art and science harmonize
in a forest made of glass
this everyone knows:
plants grow green under the sun
nature teaches still
primordial elements
are mysteries yet unearthed
DUMPSTER FIRE
There once was a dumpster so full
It seemed overflowing with wool
I heard someone shout
It’s a fire to put out
But outside, there’s no lever to pull
When so fiercely it started to burn
It was causing some local concern
If by the end of the day
They could take it away
There’s a lesson one should learn
It was doused by my friend Michael
What kind of fire if asked, could I kill
Fake wool, so inorganic matter
Yet floating bits would scatter
That’s why one must always recycle

The
imagined force is recast and concentrated into an inorganic
material.
Intentional,
possessing the owner's future with satisfying
charisma.
The
talisman, as some are known to be, is the resulting
changeover.
Better
days lay ahead of the object holders, who will be the subject of good
fortune.
Prehension
of one's life worth and outlook will be exceedingly
awesome.
Blithesome
accesses the favorable
heart.
Impart
the wealth produced, amongst
others.
Effectuators
are doubly loved for that
realization.
Fruition,
when done unnoticeably, is agape
love.
Hereinabove,
the exceptional natures are
emphasized.
Harmonized
beginnings are the effects of the talisman's
aura.
I am broken
And have no one
To help fix me
So I sit at home
Soldering, tinkering
Trying like hell
To drain my body
Of all this bad blood
And replace my heart
With machine parts
Engineering out
These feelings
Become inorganic
And free
Lost the blueprints
Along the way
This path I've taken
Not by choice
Yet here all the same
A trail staind with blood
And tears
Trying all the old maintenance
To fix my problems
Ending up just as broke down
As I was before
It's time to trade in
This broken model
For something shiny and new
So Someone please tell me How?
I am infested
With rot and decay
The food we eat does matter
From natural,organic
We switch to unnatural,inorganic
From inorganic we switch back to organic
Because our bodies do not compromise
Our bodies rule the health kingdom
We pay to touch the wrong switch
Greed and abound always pay in one way or another
And so
Live simple but healthy
The light was heard
in a sparkling bang...
Something came up
suddenly...
Nothing was known
of colors, neither
of heaven, neither
of clouds,
nor water...
There was no
witness
when the world
was born...
Of a light broth,
became the thick...
The gas landscape
of inorganic ,
also became
organic...The first
face appeared
from the sand...
there no breath yet...
But a breath came...
Expanded... soon
another face...
The two now, without knowing
why, they were attracted...
Compared, and
admired...
The sun came,
the rain came,
came hungry
and cold... !
So the two
no further wanted
lose each other...!
Excuse me,
but we are not
chemically reagents ...
We do not match,
we don't mix,
chemically or physically ...
Even together, we are two,
Equal signs, elements
nonreactive...
Among us, there is no
enthalpy,
entropy.
Utopia...
Our atoms
do not react...
I am salt, and you
you are not solvent ...
I'm inorganic and you
pure carbon ...
incompatible,
totally ....!
Nature versatile on evolution.
originates from inorganic state,
transcends into organic formation.
Flora and Fauna flourishing at best.
Entwined turbulence-tranquility.
Nurturing caring or being hostile.
Mysterious carrying beast and beauty.
Radical display of hues on own style.
Crimson creation- Charcoal extinction:
Nature smarter than Science to progress.
World runs, rushes in Nature’s discretion
Where to cling, where to mold, where to digress.
Blind process, yet precise on perfection.
Nature versatile on evolution.
Stray ghouls are just zombie shrunken heads
being voodoo capitalist misled
Ricochet fishing for the ocean blue,
deep pocket dollars:
The green algae money
buried at the ethical wavy,
graveyard bottom
Hollow days come every pointless, peon payday,
as creditors delight
in debt shopping their widow maker wares
The pillaging, high priestess of bloodsport pleasure
lay many burglar, prey desires bosom bare
Inorganic idols ... phallic-shaped things;
moral mettle melts
at first grove, sacrificial trigger offering
Heated cries coming from
empty vow chambers
Crosshair eyes scope the killing view
Snuff the stitched mouths ...
get paid by the aged, smoking barrel
Follow the lemming violent trail,
collect the stained spent shells
Empty chambers got an earth bed full,
many died in the throes of hate
Envy green hearts using their lead tools,
leaving death marks —
Bullet holes in the picked pocket of fools
DEATH--
A disposed conjured up placement of a translucent spaced reality
Does flesh even matter anti matters unseen, unseeing angels fly
Action dying being killed ending life of person or organism
It's that spark you've got light I have now extinguished
My God, My God breath life in you and me
The condition that distinguishes animals and plants from inorganic matter,
Capacity for growth, reproduction, functional activity no longer here preceding
Death and dead isn't non existence separation of body spirit
Origins life existence of individuals is... no breath life's death
DEATH is disposed conjured placement of a translucent spaced reality

People daily perish so tragically ...
ever dying
to protect things that don’t breathe
Inanimate objects of their desire,
they just can’t leave
So many pulse beings fall in love with inert manufacturing
Mistletoe eyes kiss the chrome,
and chafing lips polish the plastic
Wooden attraction becomes a rotted cleave
When grave fires rain down untimely destruction,
many chose the sheltering embrace
of their stony arm lover
Letting synthetic bonding for the esthetic metal
rule over their survival instincts ...
Fidelity to sparkling glass goes aye shatter fatal
Ever dying to cling to molecular things
that don’t feel
Artificial inanimaticy, it ain’t real
Inordinate affection for the inorganic immaterial
is a terminal expiration date
Bosom caresses for molded figures is cold intimacy
Too many buried souls let their heart bleed vainly
Inanimate things aren’t moved emotionally
to try and help save you in your time of dire need
Potent message
hidden within the Spherical Photon —
Universal data transmitter
Offspring Alpha Wave,
whom was begat by Omega Oscillation
Beamed to an unknown distant point
in space-time
Gravitational curvature eternity echoes
passed thru infinity prime
Elevated dimension of double blessing:
Omnipresence overseen by
Invisible Express Image Divine
Nothing made into something,
astrophysics inorganic
turned to
organic quantum mechanics —
Illumination kinetic motion birthed
from Dark void inert static
Potent message
revealed inside perpendicular bent carbons —
data transmission receivers
