Long Convocation Poems

8. Transformation

Yielding to those who have mastered the art
Of grasping one's place in existence's grand scheme

But humble diligence will grow the dream

In passing from childhood to adulthood
Innocence to responsibility
Firm new role...

A pro-active journalist
is like a research-committed teacher
teaching and listening to cooperative research designs
and presentations.

The opposite of the journalist's deconstruction
of events
is reconstruction through predictive narrative.
Just as the opposite of permaculture's green activist
regeneration
is pathological degeneration
emerging from past...

OCEAN OF TEARS


Things were good just yesterday
Till death took you away today

If only our eyes could pour out all the...

It’s good to get together as friends and confreres
like in table fellowship or religious convocation
and then, enjoy the company of each other’s culture
as Italians, Colombians, Filipinos or Brazilians.

The day after Easter Sunday adds another occasion

Since industrialization there’s been agitation frustration palpitation trepidation vociferation
And unequivocal asseveration in favour of our planet’s welfare glorification and protection

Premeditated or not, the results on the planet are nothing short of brutalization and martyrization
Damage is...

Polithieves
On my behalf, a conclave of crows
Then, my Imminent appointment follows
Orchastrated triumph at the polls
Heralds me into Parliament of Owls
Perching in the FAAC Convocation
In control of State notes
I go swift lyk Abacha o. 

I have...

After waiting for long time,
Finally I have collected.

Smile floats on face more.

In Business Administration
I was waiting for this convocation
Finally this arrived with joy.

Passing through time of research,
Investing mind's attention,
Affection...

love, not a lifeless thing
that she used to talk about those days
while carrying a backpack
full of books and binders

a mustang she wanted to drive
symbol of success and speed
a perfect blend with boom

I sit behind the computer
scripting the daily lesson plan, 
while hoping there’s no intruder,
of them I’m not an eager fan.

A guest speaker comes to impart
something in boring monotone.
I hope he imparts something smart
or I’ll be...

Out of this place my will be...

Who is whispering? We are in conversation,
We are feeling lucky attending convocation.

With glitter of joy we have embraced crown.

We fathom this black gown down toward top,

Do you
too
grow tired?

Feeling no sufficient vacation
from your sacred 
ponderous vocation
as this endless day's resilient
wise Elder generation

Constantly longing for recognition,
faithfully
hopefully loving

InBetween a cognitive
emotive place 

Impatient 
for cooperative understanding
while curiously seeking co-empathic appreciation
for sufficient win/win resolutions
to slowly...

SIXTH SENSE SEDUCTION

In ordinary ways
in ordinary days
I stand before her quite amazed
at her lithe form.

While reaching up to touch a cloud
with naked limbs (it’s all allowed)
Her beauty strikes though not to lure; 
to transform me...

from your “Shores Of Babylon.”


“Babylon The Great”

Seducer, thou are wicked Babylon,
And be silver tongued as serpent slither.
With souls to credit thou doeth bond,
Conformed to thy way, they soon do wither.

Unholy wine be, your fornication,
For worldly...

Had a cup of tea in the canteen.

THE RAVENS

“Amid the jagged shadows of mossy leafless boughs;”
A raven convocation croaks harsh judgement on our sin
No matter exculpation and our deeds it disavows
Their conscience incarnation claws the viscera within

Til confession and contrition bring the...

Great solar winds
Agape’s breath
Where souls began
Cosmos's bequeath

First living soul
Then quickened spirit
Life’s son of gold
Mind soon seared it

Minds spent time
Lost from Agape
Became cursed in time
And not love’s copy

Within love’s genre
As solar wind blows
Renewing must be
Love's kingdom...

I have a youngest sunny D
an improvising third of four
in third quarter beating maleness rhyme.

He wears the greatest many hats
but only one spirit-timed 
Hippocratic 
convocation
evocation.

He sings and shouts
C Major 7th inside voices
and outdoor D minor...

I have a fire burning in my chest
An ovation to courage
A convocation to my elation
It is simply outrageous

If I were to ask where to go from here
What might you tell me this time
With your shining...
