Long Civilizing Poems

My protagonist today,
a Gay Black Religious Mature Male,
not quite ready for silver-grey Obama temples

Is off this morning
to a new full-time job,
8 to 5,
Monday through Friday.

He has been out of his calming,
regular custodial collared routine,
for over...

I stumbled over Paul Tillich's translation
of the MessiahMentor's Other Great Commission.

The Great Commission we learned in Sunday School

and savages to Christianity.

Yet this Other Great Commission feels like a...

Transcending boundaries to trash
transacts through vulnerabilities to crash
into compost cash.

I see and feel strange conjoining
curious listening to speak with old as young.
We carry less allegiance to romance of patriotic memory
than reciprocity through mutual matriotic mercies

It has been said
Charles Darwin was not happy
with leftbrain's Survival of the Fittest
without rightbrain's ecosystemic health roots
in Thrival of the Fit-in-ingest,

Which Bateson,
and other systemic ecologists, 
would later call interdependent co-acclimation,
and Jane Gordon politically theorizes

BULLETS IN THE SOUP POT
I
BEFORE THE MIRROR
Sometimes, I sit on my sofa
Pondering on why war, poverty, hatred
and anguish has become a comforting bliss.
They say life is an unending quest; is it?
They say true love lasts...

By: Moji Agha -- June 24, 2016 -- Tucson, Arizona

Last dusk at a small Tucson park, my 3-year-old dear friend, Rafi,
insisted unhesitatingly on imitating, no, actually embodying, a baby dog.
REALLY! As real is Trump's Presidential...

In good government sectors,
Inside capital-driven outside energized urban environments,
In healthy cooperative societies,
In proper green-civilizing schools,
and domestically robust economies,

remain openly and resiliently cooperative,
while less universally compassionate internal views,
from within each everyday and night non-sabbath,

After
The retreat
Of the last cubic ice
The fire
Discovery,
And after,
Thousands of years
Of 
Iron
Bronze
And tools
Testing.
After
The first form
Of calligraphic concrete was poured
After thousand of years of 
Earth quakes,
Volcanic eruption,
And the earth calmed down.
God appeared.
First
To help us 
Sort things out
To...

Humanity - tormentor of my dreams
I discovered the people diverse the scream
Limitlessness - limitlessness - limitlessness!
My ephemerality I could not awaken limitlessness
Take thy transcendence from out my heart aching
I crave the human, humane humanness breaking
And...

Something prodigiously deep, profoundly placed on the mind
Do not pick it up in a rush ... for often we see better when
No light impale the eyes ... let history here forget, be blind
Before you tackle...

Our the knives not sharpened since long,
Or they have missed my Achilles,
May be my heart have pumped some valor,
Have I become a saint?
Since I’m aloof, and with my two angels, 
Clammy death of malice mouths...
