Ho’oponopono 

forgiveness a virtue
virtue an attribute
requiring identity 
needing healing
thus choosing
forgiveness 
as a tool

no matter

Ho’oponopono forgiveness prayer
has four seemingly easy steps
softening attention in silence 
first of all we say ‘I am sorry’

ouch!

many stuck at the first step
conceding we have erred
making hearts asunder
for what matters the truth
if love itself stands abandoned

we pause

reflecting that we are all one
the one we love is in anguish
leap out! reach out in embrace
brooking not for an instant, delay 
say, say, please say, ‘I am sorry’

load lightens

our heart begins to tremulously smile
vibrationally, we draw near our love
‘please forgive me, my dear heart’
simply know this: ‘I love you!’

then, the quietus

having stepped forward into the mist
suffused with God’s love vibrations
in gratitude we say ‘thank you!’
lingering for eternity thus 

time dissolves

the void of oneness alone remains
pulsating with omnipotent power
our lower ego mind vaporises
we accept all as they are
transcending the need
to forgive, because
there is no one
here within

save love

Attributing to the advancement of mankind even with the smallest plaN   
Reaching personal goals that benefit his life's meaning of I

George Washington Set Potus Precedent No Lie

George Washington Set Potus Precedent...no lie

trumped hill re: by a bill yon votes
and bridged tradition (Abe Lee) linkedin 
to present president; biden his time
trying to build back better
suspended crumbling infrastructure
hallmark of United States
transportation superhighways
tied railed planks
successfully spanned across country.

This revolutionary fella preceded by
Adams family patriarch giving rise
twin heir (plain lee gifted "Renaissance
Man") Jeff force'n without hemming
and hawing, (nevertheless sallying forth)
subsequently conceding nexus,
(nor horse drawn Lexus) of Colonial
power to Madison, thence Monroe
buttoned up as suitable candidate after
which younger Adams elected.

Thirty four followed Jackson's club
trumpeting (some Obama nib bully)
bushwhacking their way predicated
on faulty Algorithm, charming
charismatically with hint of Clint
like glint in eyes, blinding populace,
sans ray gun (Reagan), Car Tour ring
with peanut gallery in tow, affording
(unpopularly pardoning unfashionably),
a Jerry rigged nixed son, followed
by John's son tainted by stain of Vietnam,
but with said Southeast Asian debacle,
one Ken heady (sporting thick styled hair)
inherited an internecine conflict, essentially
precipitated, when Eisenhower hardened
political stance against any allies of the
Soviet Union, (sans The Viet Cong), and
pledged his firm support to Diem
and South Vietnam.

Now with preceding administration, one
harried true man unleashed advent of atomic
spectra upon Hiroshima, and Nagasaki, this
purported preemptive measure scary ruse
felt to thwart exaggerated Japanese government
threatened (military intelligence) scheming.

On His Final Journey



                                Drifting ruminations freely wander
                                amid vanishing rays of Sun Ra
                                Thrusted beyond constraining clouds
                                probing the enigmatic moon
                                Hoping like incessantly undulating liquid
                                from a surging waterfall
                                Inner eye unveils the essence of a man
                                who for eons remained silent


                                Resembling his distinct familiar face
                                from a distance stood her true love
                                Parting muted lips a smile illuminates
                                the darkest stars in heaven
                                Arms outstretched as his tears well
                                eager to amend a fractured heart
                                Conceding defeat to forsaken wishes
                                he ascended beyond a cloud


                                A woman impassioned craves
                                the homecoming of this precious entity
                                She must repudiate wretched emotions
                                he has embarked on his Final Journey
                                Heralded by a harbinger of doom 
                                destiny upholds this disheartening truth
                                Expectation conjures delusion
                                deceiving her vision invoking salvation

F-CK YOU - On Cybercoercion

It’s been 10 years since you last saw me.
I’m softer. Matured. Unrecognizable. And yet 
the feeling of your roaming eyes still darkens my skin,
the phantom sensations making me retch.
Your vile intentions occupy a corner of my brain
with no sign of conceding territory.
I can’t go to the doctor
lest that hotel room comes rushing back
and renders me unable to bear sight of my skin for a week.
I swear colorfully,
as often as I did refusing you.
Would you like that? 
Would you take pleasure being reminded of the resistance you so toyed with?
Or would you prefer me docile and doe-eyed?
God, I can’t think of a version of me that wouldn’t bring that greed to your mind.
I can only hope my age would shatter your desire
or turn it to ash on your tongue.

You’re a faceless monster,
carefully calculating and breaking down your victims’ walls
without revealing a hint of yourself in return.
I showed you everything.
(I want to gag at the thought.)
I know nothing of you.
You make up too much of me.

I used to find joy in who I was.
Believed my difference to be wholly my own,
an escape from you and the shaming eyes of God.
Turns out you were the cause all along.
You wrecked me, didn’t you? 
Is what was once a source of pride truly a stain of ruin?
I am disfigured and discolored,
and no amount of bleach will ever remove your mark.

To add insult to injury, this was never bad enough anyway. 
My ache is unwarranted; I’ve suffered so little in comparison.
I was 10.
I was smart enough to log off,
to say no,
to realize no dream was important enough to surrender myself over.
I’m not a true victim.
Your hands never grazed my skin 
or caused deeper harm; you scarred me with eyes alone.
Our paths crossed for maybe an hour or two,
not nearly enough to last a lifetime.
So why have you staked your claim on my psyche?
I want to burn you clean from me.
You forced me into a prop for your pleasure,
faceless and inhuman.
There’s no telling if you sold what was never meant to be seen
and then how many times I’ve been used. 
I want you to suffer.
I want you to ache.
Maybe that’s immature,
but that turns you on, right?


Oh What a Day

My New Poem, Raw and Uncut
Oh What a day
Oh What a day when black people stop pray 
Pause and realize where their horizon lay
Where the pastures are green, yet remains unseen,
What a day when we look in perception 
and see the path that lead to today , 
yet we keep reliving the past
the ignominy of a bygone day.
Oh What a day 
when we clear the path 
of delusional ideologies and alien songs
Home is where the heart is
But in Africa, Humanity began
Oh what a day 
when we see our purpose, 
That from the cradle, the creator blessed us , 
not conceding to the thought, he cursed us.
Oh what a day 
when our leaders
plants the seed of economic sufficiency
than clearing the path to cooperate greed.
When will our leaders in the west indies
Revisit our history and shine a light
To our glorious African history
That’s kept from our sight.
Oh what a day, when we hang our wall 
An image of our creator
Blessed with the dark shades of the sun
Telling the truth, of how it began
Not reflecting what its never been

Oh what a day, 
when we learn to love, 
our African brothers despite what is said.
West Indies may be your homeland
America and others are a part
But if you are a blackman
Jamaica may be your homeland 
but keep Africa in your heart
The motherland, 
your primary thought.
Oh what a day
When we see the light
And know the meaning of life
That regardless of material things
There is a glorious life
In sharing, caring, preserving life.
Oh what a day
We don’t need no gold or diamonds rings
No motor cars, no air plane, none of these earthly things
For the riches that the earth possess 
Even if you are a poor man , they are priceless
And if you are a rich man, they too become useless
Oh what A day, when the angels sings
And cashes not, just to wear the bling
That steals the soul, and corrupts the heart
Costing life at an escalating cost
Oh what a day when we start again
And share the spirit that our ancestors had
The love of our mother, sister and brother
Where dad played his part , 
Getting the harvest, bold and strong
Defending the virtues of the mother and Motherland
Oh what a day, 
when the daily propaganda, no longer influence
Because we have taught the youth 
Home is where the lesson is learnt
Righteousness the only path
For human coexistence, 
We need a kind heart/

Premium Member Mister Cue Ball Man

Just noticed for the very first time
My hair line is definitely receding
My crowning glory, my silvery dome
My time here is short I'm conceding

If I ever wind up as Mr. Cue Ball Man
It'll be time to close up shop
Basically it'll be over, over and done
No incentive without my silvery crop

May sound vain, a wee bit conceded
But with this mug that I possess
Really need these charming adornments
Need all the help I can get

To impress the ladies, my hair was it
Running fingers through my silvery locks
They murmured tender sweet love words
Offering me all that they've got

Dream on dear fellow, you sound delusional
It's the total package that's the thing
With or without your silvery locks
As long as you've still got that zing

Shattered

I should've predicted the dilemma right from the start. 
When you parked your car, sideways, across my heart. 
Too far gone to see, too emotionally invested to care. 
A gradoise illusion to your thousand yard stare. 

Feelings of belonging whilst rejoicing in laughter. 
My mind simply concocting a happily ever after. 
The kick from your beauty internally ingrained. 
Any fears and dubiety subsequently waned. 

The flame burns alight but old scars remember. 
What once shone so bright is now ash and ember. 
Dreams of connection shot the nest and flew. 
The circle has no end, producing suffering anew. 

Validation and consent to toy with my emotions. 
Like a child blowing bubbles or a witch making potions. 
Conceding I play no part in the life that you chose. 
I stare to the sea, that's why they call it the blues. 

A wave washes over me, in a figurative way. 
As I replay the conversation had on that last day. 
Like a beautiful serpent, you hissed 'you should've been flattered'. 
As you turned. Walked away. My love story shattered.

Two-Fifteen

TWO-FIFTEEN

The chiming clock announces two-fifteen.
Three tortured hours I’ve played it in my head,
Recalling every moment of the scene,
Remembering the bitter words we said.
‘Til, at the end you said you needed air
And slammed the door and ran into the night.
While, stubbornly, I thought I didn’t care;
You’d soon come back conceding I was right.
It’s rained since twelve and you’ve been gone too long.
You’ll catch your death and I’m the one to blame.
I need you here to tell you I was wrong.
I need to hear you whispering my name.
	At last, you’re there, rain mingling with tears,
	Safe in my arms: I kiss away your fears

Balance in Everything

Balance in Everything 

Middle Path towards serenity 
Avoid Left Right paradigm 
And live with plenty 

Through despotic laws
so humanity obeys
We do not follow these occult displays 

Balance in Everything 
so teaches people
I would say,  
ethics, morals, insight, 
The middle way is indifference to what is night and day, 
Virtue versus sin, Fear and safety versus oblivion, 
Never conceding to evil at least without a fight, 
This yet sought after - still today

But found and taught long ago it would seem, 
by the son of ancient King 
Gnosis of this variety 
Is no obvious, tangible thing 
It is innate as it should be
As it is and has always been, 

Balance in Everything 
goes back to self and some intellectual bravery, 
spiritual knowledge requires 
no instruction.. 
Therefore no permission to reject all slavery, 

And so just at first
the journey of a few, 
And many questions asked
getting back to self
the answer, 
the adventure now - after all, 
has been so clearly masked,
It requires awareness only - a natural perception enhancer, 
So smothered, denied and hidden, 
And so prohibited for anyone to view, 

The intangible notion
Of.. 
- Balance in Everything
Right Thought, Right Speech 
Right Action, 
would seem so apparent 
yet intrinsically new 

To re-learn what we know.. 
Of what in essence 
- we are

..Spiritual in nature. 


That is just cause and reason  enough by far

to perceive that it is..
 

Absolutely just as True.
