Head of Two Person Patriarchy 2nd Guess

Domestic chargé d'affaires
became mine bailiwick
dint of the missus being
disinclined and less quick
budgeting, hence I inadvertently
accepted lickity split,
subsequent obligation did

smoothly clack and click,
which minimized conflict
whereby we shared equal intrinsic
reciprocity complicity, culpability
then at playtime, thee enigmatic
one whipped out adult toys
stashed in the attic.

Altercations impossible to avoid,
'specially when unemployed
(think Rob zombie humanoid)
additionally, I lacked emotionally unalloyed

communication cues, nearly destroyed
romance, cuz only recourse re: primal
non verbal, viz Braille
while disguised as android
amorousness I expressly enjoyed

satisfactorily papa bear
groaning courtesy steroid
launching petsmart aery mission
poised to strike no 
matter mainly to void

i.e. unpacking heat prohibited,
one tony peppy trooper deployed,
but unexpectedly waylaid
understandably yours truly annoyed
unsheathed hot pistol manually toyed.

Admission, confession, decision firmly laid
down, I oft times insisted felt test ease made
purposeless seething hormonal secretion
triggered fountainhead sprayed

activated provocation upbraid
ding the then live in girlfriend
French kissing parlez vous
pledged troth plus
serving as milkmaid.


Premium Member Thwarted Vows

You hastily spilled a loaded jar of stained language.
Sky aglow by a rainbow, as sunsets below a ledge.
Pouring a layer of dullness into a pristine scene.  
Murky clouds have drowned the gentle sunshine.

Unscrupulous guarantees, sand-tidied venturing,
And the heart will stow away in the way they review.
In the azure sky, golden rings are instantly plunging.
Blackbirds crow around humans peacefully withdrew.

Storm haze from a weakening typhoon stream.
Realizing the window curtains inhibit late-day sun.
This fear involves a torrential downpour dream.
Nowhere for adoration untamed stallion to run,

He wanders around this forsaken dust bowl land.
Without a stated objective, just a promise in hand.
Dreams of enigmatic and utterly ease dry,
The rises speak culpability as they move away.

Written; December 26, 2021

A fearful mind approves each deft move.
As a roving lout, I have a soft spot and am sensitive.
Your clarion call ought to be a full-scale disorder.
I'm weaving dim deceptions over my slander.

Amanda Knox

(this pastiche pertaining to maya own inc ore pore rated poetic patois promulgated many moons ago from those screaming bloody thirsty headlines from the Italian court for justice sans the brutal homicide attributed to this then American college student and her ex-boyfriend).

with the assiduous vigor of a cadre of volunteers 
   brought sought after fruition of freedom
per the release of imprisoned young (twenty something) American lass
whose former life sentenced commuted to egress from an Italian jail
to her home within Seattle, Washington 
whereby family, friends and strangers who fought for her liberation
breathed one palpable surprising sigh of euphoric relief
when the plane who boarded landed safely on the tarmac of SEATAC
aswarm with frenzied television camera crews
scrambled to get the initial scoop and what promises
to land this once anonymous cell bait
an undisclosed amount of lucre
which many on the other side of the pond
find mind boggling if not downright objectionable 
   moreso livid with rage
against the Machiavellian machine
on account of supposed culpability in tandem with her then boy friend
accused (under the guise of guilty fiat) 
   sans homicide of college roommate
now sought after garnering this fawning female 
(salaciously tagged by Perugian court with the sobriquet “she wolf”
now faces a future replete with riches aplenty
allowing gravity of ugly epithet plus stigma from accusation of murder
to serve as basis for what will no doubt be a best seller
not to mention made for the silver screen blockbuster
with subsequent royal carpet treatment	
to compensate for guilty judgment decreed
without tangible evidence nor fair trial to boot!

Premium Member Bitter Integrity

Integrity's EarthSoul
with eyes to see
and ears to hear,
with nose to smell
and mouth to taste,
longs to exclude
spit out
purge local and global awareness
of degenerative Earth's bitter climate trends.

Such unholy pathology
threatens too persistently heavy
regardless of personal culpability
and lack of political clout
to ecotherapeutically act out,
restoratively heal
what my own AnthroSapient justice generation
further military-industrialized,
automatedly colonized,
monoculturally missioned,
bought and sold and rented and enslaved generations
increasingly reduced to self-disabling Win/Lose competitive consciousness
more than WinWin productive self-aware domestic cooperatives
as matriarchal WiseElders before
this actively distrusting lack of good and healthy
and beautiful integrity.

Integrity's soul
longs to restore healing
patiently ecotherapeutic
yet actively ego-resonant revolutionary
eyes
ears
nose
throat wholeness
for inviting fragrant
tasty
beautiful
polyphonic co-operative green co-ownership
of healthy wealth original through extant
polypathic love.

Within whom we fractured are
ReForesters becoming
cooperative landed and oceanic Trusting
ego/eco-health investors.

Premium Member Natural Cycle

Some people think these recent disasters
Are caused by an abuse of the planet
I tend to think they're natural occurrences
The world is just running the gamut

The ebb and flow of changing conditions
Are normal like any time previous
The world has existed for billions of years
Foolish to think we'd be impervious

It's how it's been since the dawn of existence
Today, we're in a technological time frame
To imagine it's the reason for all this mayhem
Is wrong, we shouldn't assume all the blame

There are certainly mistakes man has made
That surely hasn't helped the environment
But to suggest that these are the only reasons
The blame has an unjustified placement

No doubt, we've had some manmade disasters
Without question, can't dispute their effect
Humans certainly are not without culpability
But we've never been thought of as perfect

We are only visiting for a relatively short time
And our challenge is to try our very utmost
To leave it a much better place than we found it
What a great reason for us humans to boast!

Premium Member Freedom's Last Cry

Freedom's Last Cry

I do not agree...
with your personal views, 
and prefer to avoid;
seeing them, 
hearing them, 
reading them. 

It was just a choice, 
not a judgment. 
There is, 
still freedom of choice, 
until it too is gone, 
with the rest. 

No safe place.
No law and order. 
No culpability, 
and no responsibility. 

When "we" are all silenced, 
by the world view, 
The Lion will roar, 
and there will be true, 
and real fear. 
The Lamb that was slain, 
will return. 
Angels will sing, 
and draw swords. 
They will know their tasks, 
and rush to do them. 

Time a funny thing, 
the blink of an eye, 
the glint of a single tear, 
year after year, 
suddenly here!

What Price a Child's Soul

A child's soul was once priceless,
A child's soul was once beyond the reach of most things evil,
A child's soul was once safe in the hands of 99 out of every hundred.

Do you remember the first time you saw a loss of a child's soul, 
Do you remember the first time they showed it on the telly
Do you remember the advert that spawned the practice.

It seemed like harmess fun,
It seemed like money for Jam,
It seemed like a learning opportunity for the child.

Oh had we but known, what it would do to the soul,
Oh had we but known, what it would herald in,
Oh had we but known, what it would encourage.

Now we must pay the price,
Now we must endure the same scene over and over again,
Now we must watch as children are used to sell every product known to man.

Do you not cringe as add after add has a child strategically placed in it,
Do you not cringe as children are talking up adult products.
Do you not cringe as children speak with forked tongues.

Is there no one who cares what it does to their souls,
Is there no one who cares what it does to those who buy what the child says,
Is there no one who cares what it does signify about our own culpability.

Overt and Wanton Police Abuse Analogous To Societal Sepsis Leak 1

Martial law inapropos to stave, staunch,
and stem police brutality,
nevertheless commander in chief
will violently barrel ahead
particularly when blatant iniquities
flagrantly heaped upon
innocent dark skinned human bodies,
who far to often get accosted, beaten, choked
without justice, but
judged guilty merely existing.

Protestations within metropolitan urban areas
all across the United States
sparking riots else within world
began in Minneapolis on May 26, 2020
following the death of George Floyd
coroners determine cause of death asphyxia
after Minneapolis Police Department (MPD) officer
Derek Chauvin knelt on his neck
for 8 minutes and 46 seconds.

Akin to striking a match
into highly flammable liquid
diverse people expressed legitimate rage
against machinations targeting humans,
whose obvious epidermal pigment
unwittingly sacrifices said
dark skinned people burnt offerings.

Sacrificial lambs only become martyrs,
yet sadly never realize their true value, nor
relish (hot diggity dog) purposefulness
cuz her/his mortality nipped in (figurative) bud
when precious life cruelly stolen.

As iterated courtesy similar
crafted by yours truly
persons falsely hash tagged recalcitrant
(predominantly boys and/or men)
exhibiting physiognomy proclaiming
African American, Australia,

Haiti, Melanesia, Papua
New Guinea and South Asia...
as motherland, more so
black immigrants comprise
growing proportion of said
racial (constituency) population.

Usually no culpability
linkedin with rudely mistreated individual,
whose inalienable (inherent) rights:
life, liberty and pursuit of happiness
hijacked solely predicated upon bigotry.

Love Of Learning

Many a year so far
a sweet sensation would within surge 
as back to school season 
has just begun..
The feelings of a child 
eager and joyful 
to pile notebooks, pencils and pens
excited to have them all in a schoolbag..
Even as a teacher 
that sweet habit, that unique joy
got wild much more!
a deep conception 
that a smile, a word
could change a world 
a strong conviction 
that teaching is a vocation 
a mind trained to train
a heart able to see and comprehend 
confused faces
gazing at you
seeking the secret of success!
day dreamers, untamed teens
aspiring to reach and own 
the treasure within..
Many a year by this time
soul and whole
I would wonder 
what would I utter
of words 
willing to sow the seeds of passion 
in virgin lands
to instill a love of learning 
a deep sensitivity 
to guide to goals
to cultivate creativity..
What would I teach of lessons 
use of methods
to inspire young souls
and their imagination kindle!
Now I’m back to school 
with a load on the heart 
a sense of culpability 
torn about what I should 
and must do..
The world of teaching 
a hallmark of my identity 
leaving that part of me 
a possibility 
even a necessity..
My heart aches for the realm of poetry
the power of words
that translate my innermost emotions and reflections 
their magic
that transcends what is ordinary..
I have a longing for
a sense of belonging to 
the world of words 
I am an avid reader and learner
with a passion for creative writing 
and leaving a world
would not mean
ceasing to be..
