more cooperative, politically empowering days,
but I am clueless about healthy religion,

about political philosophy,
articulating a bicameral tension
between Conservative Yangers,
patriarchal universalist ego empire builders,
and Unitarian Progressive Yinners, WinWinners,
a matriarchal cooperative...

Premium Member Glimmerings of Truth
They say making a friend is quite easy,
It’s “not being eaten” that’s hard, 
And a cloud’s life is known to be breezy,
A dog’s mean (that’s tied in a yard)....

Premium Member Perfect Balanced Pitch
Imperfection is the mirror of perfection;
opposites reveal each other.
Rumi (M Mafi translation)

Dissonance is the non-polynomial mirror of confluence;
opposites unveil each other.

Ego-suffering grows the anti-relational mirror for eco-optimization;
opposites reveal each other.

Past economic competition grows the crystal...

Young and naive , 
Submerged underneath the melancholy ;
Amid the chat and giggles .
We laugh and cry ;
Through the misconception and dispositions ,
For tides of life aren’t meant to last but to strengthen our soul...

Premium Member Quoting Einstein
I wonder if Einstein's moral aphorisms,
observations about healthy inclusive values,
concern about dominant cultural confusion
between positive humane energy
and anthro-supremacist mass,

If these spacetime thought experiments
could be quoted more or less RealTime often
than metric equivalence formulas
of 3D spatial...

Phantoming my generation
I get mesmerized each time I try
Most things I see break my heart
And at the same time blow my mind

But a focal tool of oppression
Wealth and generosity are...

Euphemistically Speaking
What’s the kindest thing you can say,
about someone who’s not really nice
Compliment them in an obtuse fashion,
blunt talk wouldn’t be the right approach
Sometimes it’s hard to find
pleasant words 
to describe somebody’s foul disposition
Oh, they just...

Emerging from sleep dream temerity,
his remote aurora  spectral prisms
from which his wakefulness gives legerity,
from which surfaces new burgeoning aphorisms.

Lone Warrior - a Cyberpoem
Across the shadowed byte desert, a lone warrior limped.
Impelled by a spirited misanthropy, he plied the
idle partitions of mind and thirst.
An orphaned amorist, passionate, but alone.

And as he stumbled, the adders whispered hoarsely, and
the diodes...

And doing things that’s arousing 
Just for me

To the aphorisms of fools 
Because I’m...
