Premium Member Ember of Intellectual Acuity
A spark ignited when our paths first crossed, Your knowledge kindled, my ignorance tossed. From a timid flicker to a steady glow, Our bond, like embers, began to grow. Your wisdom blazed, a guiding light so bright, Illuminating truths are once hidden from sight. In learning's heart, our spirits intertwined, A sacred fire of mentor and mind. But time, relentless, feeds on mortal...

Nadir Axiom
A fleeting Fata Morgana that transmutes the deadly shiver of existence into the chrysopoeic alchemy of the infinite, where the boundaries of time and space are but a mere illusion. ...

Lemmings run in tunnels deep, The obsessed won't let the phantoms sleep, But I can't stampede with brainwashed sheep, I plunged into the soul river. Leaving the crowd was hard to do My heart, deceived, believed it knew, But I left the comfort zone, joined the few. And plunged into the soul river. I entered the heart of the silent night, Where...

I'm a kid from Oklahoma Only wanted a diploma I completed registration For my four year education Then off I went to college Was seeking higher knowledge I was taught by all these scholars Who were making all these dollars Didn't make a lot of buddies Was too busy with my studies Never racked up any tardies And avoided all the parties When graduating I was glad But...

Premium Member Was Saul a Deeply Flawed Intellectual Snob
Was Saul a Deeply Flawed Intellectual Snob (Perhaps a Prude as Well)? Does Christ's Protest Still Ring True Today? Part 1: I'll state my aim clearly, "I come, not to praise Paul (Christ honored?) but bury usurper? Profane, anti-Christian's my take." Paul's account of conversion (more fear-based than factual?) scolds all those disputing things Paul thinks fire's ember! But logic falls...

Poems For Poets Vi
Poems for Poets VI Caveat by Michael R. Burch If only we were not so eloquent, we might sing, and only sing, not to impress, but only to enjoy, to be enjoyed. We might inundate the earth with thankfulness for light, although it dies, and make a song of night descending on the earth like bliss, with other lights beyond—not to be known— but only...

Intellectual Desperado
INTELLECTUAL DESPERADO Dear desperado, Knowledge awaits you tomorrow, If you painstakingly throw And expedite yourself like an arrow. Though your foresight looks narrow, Don't leave your mind incommunicado Or famished cos at seashore is where ships row. Ignorance makes devious innuendo, rising in a fearsome crescendo. Deface this phase dear desperado. Despite despicable deeds of a life of struggle, You're on your way to completing your hurdle. Education...

Premium Member Ode To Intellectual Honesty
I was born in some troubling times, And bred to work hard and not whine. Like now, people didn't always behave As they should, but there was never a Question about where everyone stood. But I am seriously saddened these days Because there are too many foundational Ways of life disappearing fast or already Departed. I fear that they rather not return. I was...

Global Intellectual
Hafez and I grew up together in Shiraz, centuries apart with similar poetic ether. Wandering the world together as if from the same mother. We were never actually together the word reincarnated is better. He lives in me and we suffer together humanity's woes and ethnic the other. We're global intellectuals chanting together not the salute of flags and land of the mother we preach the...

An Intellectual Air
What’s that in the air? Covid operations? Does that virus never think or sleep? And what about a vaccination? Things will do what they will do To grasp the situation moving forward Too bad simpler minds can’t prevail What’s that in the air? A needle point? Can it penetrate the skin of the recipient? ...

Political Intoxication
Facts now have alternatives to fortify an elite’s status Truth has lost its authority Principles abandoned as minds become amorous to like-minds Intellectual treachery Corporations have frozen the status quo Arrested ideology Anti-capitalism is pretentious and treasonous Distrust the politics, kill the new entry Religion is a sanctuary of poverty walled by tyrants Machiavellian weaponry A cloaked politician claims anointment from God Blind flock in...
