Trump Trumped Decree Targeting Undocumented Americans

No secret the Don did abrogate,
his strict ban barring employees to acclimate
themselves, to live within United States
legal tender, and accommodate
themselves comfortably anonymous,

though "NOT FAKE," but accurate
reliable, trustworthy, et cetera
resources who did activate
my awareness, his hired hands receive adequate
pay, (perhaps greater than minimum wage),

despite the fact he does vehemently administrate,
adulterate presidential decrees, and thus
passively advocate, those supposed:
intruders, marauders, and pillagers
(rapists thrown in for good measure),
thus being party to affiliate

with contrary doctrine makes
him more than a flagrant hypocrite
since such migrant fiasco does aggravate 
me as well as innocent lives that aggregate
within a country, whose motto rather than alienate
purportedly offered sanctuary:

"Give me your tired, your poor, 
your huddled masses
yearning to breathe free, the wretched refuse
of your teeming shore."

No excessive effort needed to insulate,
expedite and ameliorate
the woeful plight of ordinary peoples,
whose culture club, those very
governments aim to annihilate
driving a figurative wedge (gee),
I decided to annunciate

(a spurious whim), and suspensefully anticipate
if affection toward asylum seekers will arise
decrying duplicitous action (exhibited by
commander in chief), undoubtedly
other citizens do not appreciate
(minus the bajillion dollars purposelessly

allocated to erect a skyhigh wall,
when more humanely appropriate
measures beg attention at
less expense I aver and approximate
and avoid unfairly incriminating, but to arbitrate
(with some degree of justice) pitted
toward migrants flagrant human rights violation,

those in power arrogate,
and wield for the luxury, exploitation and convenience
of those wealth mongers, who fail to articulate,
how when families got rent asunder fallout does asphyxiate
the human species in toto (including
Dorothy, Cowardly Lion, Tin man and Straw man).

Out Of Water

Eternal suffering
Fresh cleansing rain,
regain
Harmonic smells so wonderful,
restores impressions in your mind of ocean shores

Rainbows of prism refracting,
colors that are spellbinding
red, orange, yellow, green, blue, Indigo, violet
mixtures mystifier of lights and shadows aver

Cleansing the air,
beautify and reign over azure suggestive buttermilk sky

Green crisp canopies of forest trees
Tall, lush emerald green grass that sway in the breeze
coverlets of ferns, climbing vines embroidered through trees
and stray flowering plants that grants
a playground for musical birds that perch or fly to the skies,
enchanting dance of the butterflies, and an orchestra of the wild,
a spiritual wonder all thirst for shelter and pure clean water

Glacier’s abundance surplus
Beautiful lustrate waterfalls so gracious
Running water through rocks and sand,
adding to erosion of filtrating

The voice of the future echoes a plea
An epiphany

Purge memories shall come to cease
Dearth of rain
Yearning thirst will attain
Drought, dehydration, famine, poverty,
sickness, anguish wildlife perishes
Eternal suffering and losses

The future beseeches

Premium Member Lessons For My Child

Life lessons I’ve learnt, my child, I’ll tell you,
in journey of life keep the 12 things in view.

Be careful what you say,
for with it you create or decay.

Think of failure not as an end in pain,
for the sun sets to rise again.

Take small steps of chance you access
to reach the summit of success.

Rule your mind, discard the negativity,
you’ll find the way to be happy.

You can’t control circumstances, react wisely,
for you’re the master of your destiny.

Don’t ever envy and hate,
these consume and destroy you as your fate.

Bestow divine gift of forgiveness and move on,
feel the burden of grievance and grudge gone.

Be grateful for love and kindness you adore,
get these more, being humble and obliged more.

Moral character and right attitude you build,
your honor and image these will shield.

Your most valuable asset is your health,
nurture and protect it more than any wealth.

Learn virtues of patience and trust, and wait,
things will happen if you’ve positive mindset.

All problems have solutions, I should aver,
never give up, my child, never waver.

extensive disappointment,

to separate the figurative

to distill some semblance

how tempus fugit defies

countless reasons that qualifies
as his life left unlived no surprise
since aforementioned sentiment
mentioned, in tandem with
self destructive behavior I despise.

Say it like it is

“Upon soul merging with The Creator ~
We require thereafter, no translator”

Whirring bliss currents pierce each in-form node
Void-centric presence frolics in the play
Spiritual Heart sings to God an ode
Music of the spheres hums, by night and day

Soma nectar drips, flowing as it likes
Our transmutation begins inside out
Unbound’s our delight, as magnetism spikes
Soul exults joy; we alone hear it’s shout

How may symbolic words describe this bliss
Boundaries blur as we become the flame
Caress divine is a lingering kiss
Give it any name but we’re not the same

The clear pathless path to which we aver ~
Let our God search focus never waver

Glorified Babysitter

Methinks the here
     to fore purposeful inclusion
     of key word "babysitter"
a slight oversight describing
     residents at Highland Manor
     (a particularly nagging omission
     in previous epistle to detail,
     how flat screen televisions

     without recourse to:

     appended verse
     attempts to avoid
     communicating disappointment,
     asper unfulfilled

     young adult jitter
ring circumstances found
     me tubby a quitter,
now as an aging bummer
     with decreasing glitter,
     I aver feeling litter
ally somewhat bitter

sweet asper those
     figuratively untasted,

Heal Thyself O Patient - II

Proffered no reprieve, led was I like cow 
By clinic’s nurse to slaughterhouse, I thought, 
The wise me cursing the rebel me now, 
All mute, betwixt devil-pain-and-doc caught. 
Take thermal waves— weighty words waft from her, 
And every day— we can’t let it get worse—
She, pontiff like, her wisdom did aver,  
I learn to live with pain, whilst me to curse. 

Oh for a thankless lingering long time, 
Yet, pain nor problem wanes both wind their way,
Docs have reasons that to them only rhyme: 

I need take a good look at your x ray, 
I feel as if caught in a lifetime’s crime—
Caught red-handed with a bleeding knife, say.

Yea, caught red-handed, knife still bleeding red,
No sign of malignant growth, he declared 
As he scanned my x ray, felt elated  
To hint that he favoured me, for, he glared 
At me to pose: how kind heart he’s within, 
Then, his eyes enlarging more than somewhat, 
Said, see that growth on left hidden therein, 
I sure have reasons to doubt it than naught. 

But doc, I see naught else but fore-arm bone, 
Humerus bone as you call, but I view  
It as rather funny, fun too far gone, 

But felt, silence is patients’ sole virtue, 
On wrong side of stick— hurting bone my own, 
Wordless I weighed for his weighty clue.

Crown of sonnets | 03.11.2012, revised July 2023| 
Poet’s note: Here are sonnets III and IV of a sequel of ten sonnets constituting one single poem called a crown of sonnets. The last line of the preceding sonnet is repeated as the first line of the next sonnet, but not verbatim; nor is the first line of the first sonnet is repeated as the last line of the tenth as is.  The sestets are either a quartet and a couplet or two sets of three-lined Terza Rima. Hurt is the place from where light enters, and it did, I realized after my long-drawn medical treatment.

Humbly Intrepid Jedi Leader

I aver, an auspicious dark shadow(s) will zoom
as if birthed, sans starry eyed nebulous debris
across infinite fantastic space/time catacomb
constituting whirled wide web ringing Gaia's in utero
fallopian youtube from out cosmic podcast womb

closing gap 'twixt outer limits galactic blob
(traveling at hair reed greased lightspeed varoom
ming before twilight zone) as death spurt humanity
descends into black hole sun, sans linkedin kickstarting
permanent grim outlook, a buyer's market vudu boom

adrip oozing quasi ICE C, one trumpeting coxcomb
oblivious, asper whatsapp pining at edge of night,
whereby majority, viz remaining earthlings doth roam
tentatively ensconced in their "FAKE" Taj Mahal tomb,
awaiting rescue attempting, while lined against mushroom

supernova like explosion, each body just another brick
in human wall, where bribery paid to Johnny on the spot
if need arises to use gender neutral unisex restroom
unaware, while remains of day regarding third rock
from sun help at doggone woof lee warp speed loom

ming thru strung out dimensions, on par as (empire)
in final ejaculating decadent bacchanalian, foredoom,
when afar off (countless light years away), gloom
me salvation will soon be visited upon tattered tribes
prints in shining armoire constitutes developing

picture postcard poem, despite global darkroom
just like in the comix, an unassuming lgbtq migrant
rescues bedraggled human league more like village
people comprising bad company,
war ring MAGA Zion will resume!

Childhood Memories

Those familiar faces of the days far bygone,
The curious, eager looks and the mind blank,
Sometimes, nay ,often haunt and then dawn
On one ,when casual life plays a wont prank ;
And capricious events and happenings drive
The credence ,faith and the sanity to deprive .

The tears in those little gleaming,narrowed eyes
Meant nothing, yet something of pain for sure ,
While the plain empty smiles beamed otherwise
Of retreat or return to the shell and  to endure;
The feel of relieving content being just denied
To the little ones who morph as they are pined

To cry and groan till the wail stretches and yond,
And settle with the helpless sigh of exhaustion ;
With some toy or sign for a change ,or  a fond
Apt relation  to regain the realm of lost caution;
To self-console and revive ,the in drawn shy one
Transforms its own existence to keep up the run

Possessions and life secure centred in the core
Of  fear infinite  and abstract ,ever trying to aver
And to drive the hurt tender soul to slyly abhor ,
Not  knowing the upright from the unjust fervour,
Picking up random values,seeking things sugary,
The stern phase of childhood slinks in to memory
