Our Escape

what a strange place
we find ourselves in.
trapped in the open

we are free within

we ask for spare change
and currency as we stake
out our places downtown

dreaming our other lives

gargoyles carved on stone faces
stare as we break down
and the city bears its age

as we walk broken sidewalks

looking upward to see
dark clouds as omens
and we ask ourselves

will it rain

busses whoosh past
cars honk, and sirens scream
when from all around

conversations rise

trees in a park by the shore
their arms sway in a breeze
as the river sings in our hearts

our escape

The Search Beneath the Babylonian Soil

A furious Bush gave an urgent speech at the UN Headquarters
demanding that they must search beneath the Babylonian 
soil and bring proof of any hidden nuclear weapon;
Brian Haw, as many, honestly believed that there were none...
why didn't  Blair and Golden believe his words?


Soon Iraq was invaded and bombarded and as night got colder,
frequent explosions lit up the blackest sky of the Middle East,
but they did not kill Saddam: the bearded, tyrannical beast....
he would be found in a filthy bunker with a limited supply of food and water;
why did he flee and hide into that unlivable hole like a persecuted priest?      
His execution was horrendous, but justice was done for his crimes
and whether he had nuclear weapons and later dismantled them in secret 
to avoid sanctions and alienation: one thing is for certain he's no longer a threat;
he was loved by some, but hated by many...was his power based on lies?
An angry president was appeased, but a defeated tyrant had to meet a horrible fate!

Alienated

Do you feel alone with no-one at all
When you have news no-one to call
A dinner for two but no-one to share
Alone with no-one and no-one to care
Your only human contact an elderly homeless man
Cause from all other relationships you took off and ran
The idea of commitment scares you
Not wanting to meet anyone new
Too many years of being alone
You're now stuck in your own zone
With no-one the time has passed you by
To alienate I ask you why?
Not really knowing why or how
You say to change is too late now
Destined to live a life alone
No-one to help or share your home
Alone with no-one and no-one to care
Alienation took her there.

Useful Tool, I Mean Foooool -Section 4-

You dragged me down to your level with your heartless judgment...love didn't arrive at my doorstep
You are the predator and I’m the victim
You are the executioner and I’m the man, tied up to the chair
GET A GRIP....
SIP...satisfy your taste buds with happiness....and dip dip dip
Into the river
R I V E R
Disappear, fear that clothes me
Reappear, fearlessness that suffocates thee
Your river of deceit leaks out… now, I can clearly see
Your true colors…you resurrected radiance in the eyes of millions…and you allowed me to escalate with ecstatic eagerness and enjoyment, much like a satisfied, well-watered tree…nurtured by sunlit glee 


I never thought that this all could be
You push me to become like all felons
Possibly, doubt slipped into my mind and traded me with prosperity in the hands of tragedy
Nothing can harm us...
We're on the same bus
You killed my trust and hope…and fed your twisted honesty
Our bittersweet chorus of lies and miseries sings its tune of tainted lullabies
Move on once again we must…or we’ll be targeted by calamity 
I know you hear me, but you ignored my silent cries…oh darling, how the time flies…
Oh please, darling angel, fix me, for I am a wrecked-up bicycle – never wave your 
Misery-laced goodbyes…cut it out before it devours us with utter distress!
For you, I am now saddened and try to untie myself from this mess…
As my love and hope for you slowly but surely dies,
Sift out the vile lies and don’t ask your why’s
I still hear your wistful cries
You relied on the Lord of the Flies
And you engrossed him…now, he draws near to you because you enchanted him with your miraculous powers…I was spell-bound and gravity-bound in the chambers of alienation while you were showing off your capacities…I thought it cool! 
You say it’s a natural gift that’s used as a priceless, grand tool…but, I take you as a fool!

Premium Member Wind from the Sea, Andrew Wyeth

I am tempered in tender triggers
    of transitory ticking tunes,
as the air feels heavy ~
     with withered whispers 
of waning reveries,
a mercurial mirror to
               my burning skin...

I've nurtured the nature
               nestled between 
 nuances of nostalgia 
feeling the nudge
              from wistful noons
freezing my thoughts
to follow the fleeting ebb and flow
of slipping silence,
 swerving through
            curtained homesickness…

     but why must the salt 
 of sea-breeze melt into memories
hope knows how the heart 
           heals with hurt 
whilst you see not the
             pained palpitations
amidst light of life liquefying
 into unmerciful minutes ~ of time…

O time ~ the tricking tamer 
    restricting inner resilience
straining the summer softness 
       retrospective recurrence
        rewinding on repeat,
leaving me searching for
           the falling familiarity ~ 
rays of wavering warmth
   to feel the pulse of pleasure
                     closer to 
           the confined corners
    within my conscious thoughts... 
  for grey is throttled in grievance 
heeding not the restless rhythm
of wind and waves 
ferrying the ocean-highs 
speaking to my skies 
              ~ catching catharsis ~ 
    as heat unbuttons 
        the soul of azure
   alliterating the alienation
   of breathing blistered bliss
aching across the shifting
      shadows of unmoved fields 

   and I waltz… a wanderer ...
        sleeplessly swirling
through the love-phased
           lace of longing
replaying the comforting touch
from yesterday’s dawn  
the sun and
 moon that soothed whirlwinds
     of weathered 
               wild-jasmines ~

Forbidden Foolishness

They were prisoners
not of walls but of words
words of threats and alienation
walls none the less

But destiny would intervene
a chance encounter at a shop
eyes meeting in a fateful dance
unspoken thoughts exchanged

Notes were passed 
through clandestine means
hidden from watchful eyes
little by little trysts ensued

At first with conversation
then, that kiss
the one that opened the prison gates
to a world unknown

Of freedom of the heart
hands began to meander
exploring the inner reaches
of parts unknown

He climbing past mountains of doubt
she guiding his hands
to her Garden of Eden
both searching in the shadow of darkness

Like unleashed primal beasts
theirs was a passion in a fertile land
breath taking and breathless
the planting of seeds

Would soon bear fruit
the chains that once held them
now kept them close
the escape complete

Herd Community

Have you been inducted in the herd community and
received its graduate certificate yet? 
I hear Nietzsche's Twilight of the Idols' rant on 'herding the herd community',
thinking, will we hear next the Covid-Uberman, i.e., the longing of new body invested with addictive anti-body, redeemed yet forever subverted, but showered with accolade? History's now split to before and after the pandemic, bifurcating the (decaying) body and the (deaf) soul.
Pessimism of intellect never rescued one from a disease, overwhelmed by 
vaccine optimism -- a panacea or cure, or twilight of reason (i.e., Benjamin's apocalypse foretold)?  
Nothing is everything when you put your mind to it, subliminally and refined.
Odds of survival is higher when you see a light at the end of tunnel, no matter
how dim or treacherous the path, or faulty optics, i.e.,  Hegel's chronicle of the absolute spirit that never dwells too long in limbo of alienation, enlightenment's last defense.  Behold, the light of Zarathustra shall illuminate and the new herd community will turn sun-worshippers yearning for the paradise lost under the eagle wings of their shepherds wielding 
a long stick.

Premium Member Sitting At Home Alone In the Dark.

Many don't know this about me, but then again in all honesty 

there may be some who suspect that I live this way.

"How sad," some must think as they witness me sink 

into a deeper "depression" each day.

My word is sincerely true when I say to all of you, 

"Don't pity me. This is my chosen life that I embark.

It's probably very difficult for you to relate but I'm at my most tranquil state

when I'm sitting at home alone in the dark."

"This isn't healthy. You're alienating yourself." God I hate that shrinky, therapeutic attitude.

It may be a very fine line but there's a major difference when you compare and define

Alienation with True Solitude.

"You're in denial," many say. "You're justifying yourself.

This isn't something you should be treating as some passing lark."

Be that as it may, answers and solutions always come my way

whenever I sit at home alone in the dark.

Premium Member Addicted To Integrity

Feeling exhausted
by addiction to integrity.

But, prefer this sad loved addict
to being self-indicted
for lack of win/win integrity;
total investment 
in lose/lose nihilistic
fascistic disintegrity,
disintegration.

Addiction to dicked down
synergetic passion
seems a healthier prospect
than apartheid alienation,
chaotic degeneration

Rather than this more positive addiction
to EarthTribe's organic integrity,
resonant DNA harmony,
cooperative polyvagal resilience,
synergetic neuro-systemic balance

EarthMothers
at least temporarily feel
an arduously merciful master
of sensory
musical
physical
relentless mental health care
wealth cooperative
co-investing extensions eco-out,
intentions ego-in

Emerging through Left embodied pleasure's
peaceful Right mind paradise 
religious promise
re-connecting polycultural family
DNA extensions,
nerved mindbody co-passions,
negatively anxious
and positively anticipating
and curiously in-between received
panentheistic hypotheses

Of global paradigmatic history
ZeroSum preemptive
pre-emptying evolutionary Left/Right bicameral theory
regeneratively embedded
in His/Her 
Nature/Spirit
Out/In
1/0 sacred indigenous NonZero 
Full/Empty 
Integral Holonic Soul

Grows sadly incomplete
synergetic EarthTribal co-addiction
to feeding and watering personal/global
ego/eco-systemic
bilaterally co-empathic 
sad loss inside/glad gain outside
love addiction 
co-arising narratives.
