Long Arable Poems

Think about this
That this globe may soon provide
For eight billion people
And yet has struggled like a tide
To find some shore arable
Enough to unsalt a trees root.
Over all the years
When we were but millions, truth
Was we...

Alternately titled inferiority
complex since little boy
oft times ponder what
afterlife like beyond far horizon ahoy...

No matter scarce giddiness wave
did carry and buoy yours truly aloft
analogous to dwell amidst
hermetically sealed croft,
imagining small rented farm,

especially one in Scotland
comprising...

She lived beside the old temple that has stood
For years on the rocky  bank of the  silent river
Flowing all through the lining greenery  cover ,     
The woods and...

INFERNO

As I watched from far away,
Under the sun sending down  its rays,
Not willing to stare any longer,
And about to find my way out,
I noticed the earth trembling,
Followed by a cacophony,
Temperature rose in a flash,
Behold...

The weary ploughman shuffles
along the deserted bridle path,
his day-long work completed,
furrows wound around his piece of land,
just arable enough to provide his daily bread.

His dreary shack is cold and bare,
just a few essentials.  Oh,...

Still tears in our eyes for our Brave Haiti
Still tears in our eyes for our incredible Country
Still tears in our eyes for our mortified, martyred
Bludgeoned, tricked, tortured, vilified and murdered victims
The cowards wasted and riddled...

The dark cloud lifted to find ourselves on the global stage
In spite of the stage fright, we united into a fist of courage
The arable land awaits, but instead erodes from our uncertain steps
The endless boycott...

The old doors of Twickenham our footfall hears not again
The willows by dry canals lodge no longer sad complain
The ploughs are rusted in the field, and O the rich loam yields
Not we dream when tenured...

The Quakers, being religiously persecuted, set sail from expatriated England;
they were the first settlers to reach the shore of New England: a free land!
Later the Puritans came and settled in other eastern, bustling colonies
seeking the...

It is times like these
When I cannot force 
A poem out of me
But the emotions leave 
My blood boiling 
Like that split second
Before sugar turns into caramel
And my cheeks inevitably
Turn red.
I cannot explain this 
Bursting...

Flourish,  
Flourishing as the sun shining you daily 
Rejoicing  as  abundant rain watering your fields 
and creating some dams 
for farming fish and feeding your animals. 
You are burgeoning in the eyes
 of some lazy...

three flowers ...
          of extraordinary bloom
     seeds and earth, spun together in chaos

The planet isn't dying, but it is responding to all of us.
We are all for the most part plundering this planet in the name of profits.
Soon temperatures will rise during the day to 120 degrees...

Sun Kissed Heaven Blessed.

Shards of illuminating sun kissed light
Solar rays warm and  intensely bright
Filter through bough and leafy tendril branches high
From a vivid azure blue unblemished vibrant sky
Clusters of green and champagne opaque leaves
Become...

So many times you’ve shuffled the deck,
I don’t know which card will turn up next
So many times you’ve poisoned the well,
I don’t what lies you’re going to tell

It’s not fair --
Your keepin’ us all in...

"Green House of the Sick Man" 
Imagining the lush, trickled and tickled
By spray of light thoughts, my healing possibly
To be that clover in full bloom again 
My body looked more like onion weed

I wished for...

See how grows the green, green grass
where we wave our stars and stripes.
And some still question our intent
to bring that dark-skinned Muslim boy
freedom and American sneakers.
What rolling hills and shady trees
our dropping bombs shall make.

In our neighborhood, moved a hermetic man named Nit who was gross, unseemly, and unbearable,
The neighbors sent me to see if I could muster up something about him that was care-able.
I sat down on his...

Swirled in the majesty of springtime dust,
Infused recombinant DNA,
Genetically modified dandelion clocks
On the breeze are borne far away.

Super-weeds with strangling intentions
To spread from estate to estate,
Mutated betrothals with arable death,
To marry the wheat and cross-pollinate.

Where...

It all happened in an isolated farm house
Naughty rats milking cows with their eyes closed
Gluttonous dogs are sent on errands to butchery
Irritating foxes keep guard on fowl houses
Dairy cows plow arable land to plant roasted...

Farmer chills
even on heap of chillies
After all, chilles are his babies
he nursed, made it ready for dishes 

Harvest joy, no less than a winner 
Time to voyage in blissful orbiter

Sitting on my porch
I hear a ruffling scraping sound
It's from the direction of the river
Near the greened arable grounds

I head for my truck
In search of this noise so strange
As I turn on it's spotlights

Africa the Holy garden 
protected by Angels

Africa the Holy garden 
blessed by God,

Africa of pure waters
And more natural resources, 

Africa of more plants 
and arable soil,

Africa of good weather, 
fauna  and flora 

Africa which welcomes...
