Malevolent Mental Maelstrom

Fiendish and gruesome phantasmagoric 
     denizens reigned horns of a dilemma blitzen deer
     dwelt deep inside subterranean vault perform an evil dance
haunt psychic landscape with imaginary (yet realistic) vixen
     gargoyle visitations that cast macabre trance
nocturnal unconscious invaders cavort and gallivant 
     disturb donnor party quiescent sleep 
     with devilish and sinister prance. 
 
Apparitions crept stealthily into peaceful slumber receptacle
     repository whence illusory landscape of dreams
     take place to rejuvenate exhausted 
     body, mind and spirit triage

      rent asunder blissful sleep with startled fright
cold sweat drenched nighttime garments and bedding
     teeth chattered uncontrollably
     heart pounded loudly inside chest 
     nightmarish phantoms wrought an awful ghoulish sight.
 
Mushroom cloud anniversary triggered 
     frenzied gargantuan hallucination
     seventy two plus years ago today inauguration 
     into atomic age took place
one country after another sought 

     to acquire demonic and destruction devices
     maintain self-preservation in surreal atomic weapons race
impossible to escape the dark threat 
     heir hilly looms and threatens life on Earth
     one launched missile spells extermination 
     across entire global space.
 
No escape from humankind military machines 
    munitions march mean madness 
    and guaranteed demise to all life 
*****Sapiens violent history of bias, 
  intolerance and/or prejudice 
     characterizes vicious warfare and chronic species strife
unaffordable legacy for future (and perhaps alien) archeologists
     who will sift thru civilization debris with delicate knife.
 
Artifacts buried in a heap 
   of pulverized and radioactive ash
civilization monuments and hedonistic symbols 
   gone in a blinding brilliant flash
irksome flotsam and jetsam spewed into outer space
     alien nations light years distant collect miniscule bits and pieces 
     offer object lesson as extinction 
     for beings become excessively brash.

Quirky Suave Unitarian

After most recent shower,
and particularly washing hair
(then shaking head
analogous to sopping wet dog
drying her/himself after a bath),
I immediately said helloo
to Long lasting fragrance Suave
essentials Daily Clarifying
Deep cleansing Shampoo,
which permeated mine scalp
facilitating healthy follicles.

More so frothy lather upon noggin
after getting rinsed out
yielded bounteous, luscious, luxurious,
and marvelous full bodied tresses
reminiscent when yours truly an adolescent,
a veritable long haired pencil necked geek
whose hirsute trademark
still characterizes atypical sexagenarian
above mentioned characteristic
still (after scores of years)
emblematic of this enigmatic poetaster.

Ever since being in utero
soon after seminal fusion
insync with fallopian tube bearing ova
begot zygote courtesy said gametes,
and engendered silent boom
after piercing zona pellucida
creating microscopic flume,
nevertheless collection of cells
coalescing into embryo
eventually manifesting into yours truly,

I painstakingly took minuscule
comb and brush to groom,
and dreaded most fearfully being locked,
where pair of outsize scissors did loom
threatening to cut thick,
what could best be envisioned analogous
to imperceptible fancy plume
hich features specific feature
drew medical community
(i.e. namely human reproductive specialists)

constituted extensive expanse
within blastocyst very limited room
crowd sourcing out rivaling curious onlookers
formerly geared up
to espy King Tutankhamun's tomb
can you dear reader believe
a hairy globule within the womb
became global attraction
viz - of a young fecund Harriet Harris,
cuz about nine months later
out the birth canal I did zoom.

Premium Member Perfect Government

“Blessed and holy is he that hath part in the first resurrection: on such the second death hath no power, but they shall be priests of God and of Christ, and shall reign with him a thousand years.” Revelation 20:6 of the King James Bible

Though seemingly impossible 
a perfect government can actually exist
since such is the 1,000 years or millennial rule of the Sovereign…

Imagining its verity requires faith exposure
experiencing event’s magnificence creates anticipation
since such has been prophesied; and will wondrously happen…

With “Thy kingdom come” as answered prayer
it assures saints' reigning along redemption of nature
since such displays vividly the Lord Jesus Christ in His glory…

Sublime realities worth cogitating await the believers
global unity prevails; wars will cease midst joy of genuine bliss
since such characterizes the holy dominion of the Prince of peace…

Extreme longevity to be restored
no need of hospitals then for sickness is removed
since such supernatural preservation comes from the Healer…

Infallible justice will be administered
devoid of social, political, racial, religious oppression
since such upholds unified worship in the Spirit fullness…

By the actual ministering to every need
all wants will be met; language barriers removed
since such is the instruction of the Master Teacher…

Engulfed with gratefulness and praise-filled awe
my heart keeps on trusting the God of my salvation
since such is my heart’s response to Scriptures, immutably functional.

Broken and Blessed

each of us in broken in some form or fashion
be it external or internal we all have our share and ration
the brokeness that characterizes the particulars in our lives
the brokeness that comes in the guise of daily struggle and strife

twenty-nine families became broken on that fatal day 
in that West Virginia mine
the sense of safety of New York City was broken when they found a bomb
in that Square called Times
out-sourcing and down-sizing have broken our economy which is now in disarray
the brokeness of Immigration Reform needs to be fixed right away
oil spills, tornadoes and flash floods have broken some communities and lives
but the brokeness of our souls in the Garden of Eden was healed by Jesus' sacrifice

"Take this bread" Jesus said with thanks as He passed it around
"Eat this bread", it's a symbol of My body so that My spirit of peace in you will be found
"Drink this wine" He said with thanks "It's a symbol of My blood"
"Drink this wine in rememberence" that it's you I'll always love

we've been bruised and abused, we've been mentally and physically harmed
but by the stripes on Jesus we've healed and have made it through life's storms
He was pierced for our transgressions and crushed for our iniquities
His sacrifice, His crucifixion so new mercies we would all come to see
God's grace will always be sufficient to cover every aspect of our lives
God's mercy will always be sufficient as it was for His Son Jesus the Christ

we are broken and blessed now ready to give God all the glory
we are broken and blessed and that will always be our story

Thought

Start

If someone asked me, “A penny for your thought”
I’ll tell him, “Sorry! It can’t be bought”
The thought process runs like a train
Fed by emotions and nurtured by the brain

Said Swami Vivekananda, “Thoughts have made us what we are”
“Words are secondary, thoughts live and travel far”
Friedrich opines thoughts are the shadows of our feelings
Always darker, emptier, and simpler in all dealings

The quality of a leader is determined by his thought
Said Alexander the Great after the battles he fought
“It’s better to have an army of sheep led by a lion raising his battle cry
Than an army of lions led by a sheep that leaves everyone high and dry”  

It is believed that the power of thought is the path to discovery
Never underestimate it, or your dreams will be past recovery  
The soul of God pours into the world through the thoughts of human
And becomes dyed with its color that embodies his acumen

Bertrand Russell characterizes thought as subversive and revolutionary
Men in power fear it most as their style of functioning is perfunctory
Thought is indifferent to authority and defiant to the wisdom of the ages
It inculcates the sense of logic to the news around at all stages 

The quality of the thoughts decide the happiness in life
Reining of evil thoughts will prevent further strife
We’ve created a vicious world in which we are caught
To change the world we have to change our thought.

Serendipity

From the era of troglodyte
to the evolved world of civilization.
The closer the life void of neophyte,
the farther apart should we be to condemnation.

Why is it that reverse is the case
as we race our intelligence quotient in haste
to daze the ignorance at the base
by God’s grace to evolve the world we now harnessed?

Every solved problem generates another.
Chaos – Coast to coast and border to border.
Problem upon problem is all we ponder.
Phagocyte of harum-sacrum acts pervade world’s three-quarter.

Carbon monoxide from cars contaminates ozone.
Human becomes prey for guns at war zone.
Preserved intakes cause carcinogenic issues.
Tears stirred by civilization could not be held in paper-tissues.

Serendipity in recycled severity
that characterizes the civility in gruesome tenacity
is a fruitless creativity in its best ability
to form vicinity with advanced social amenities.

Valueless is the invention that kills the purpose for which it was created.
I do not say we should stop being creative but be upgraded
in direction where bereaved is ceased to be the result we derived
from invention meant to ensure a better life.

The Truth Will Set You Free

You are scared to let go of the familiar;
the familiar has a feigned ignorance of making you feel safe and comfortable.
You dismiss the voice of reason,
because you are blinded by the sole thing that barricades you.

Be true to yourself:
“If you shut up truth and bury it under the ground,
it will but grow, and gather to itself such explosive power 
that the day it bursts through, it will blow up everything in its way” (Emile Zola; 1840-1902)

You must find strength.
Surround yourself with what is positive.
Be strong.
Strength, truth and belief in yourself are the keys to unlocking 
all that binds you.

You are a free spirit;
No person characterizes your being;
No person dictates how you think, act or speak;
No person controls your life;
No person except for yourself.
