ZeroSum political disempowering game

Premium Member Dear Sue
Dear Sue,

I am remembering our strong negative responses
to the young woman who surreptitiously read
her aunt's very private diary,
filled with vulnerable statements
of the most intimate nature
and transparently lusty spirit,

Yet, though secretive,
then took a bold black marker
and...

The Age of Lies
The Age of Lies 

Inimitable political satirical sardonically charged empirical verse for commiseration.

Collated by the grand vision of lies that seem to defy all consideration.

Fleeting Moment
A fleeting moment I possess
I tend to obsess
condense my sight to the obvious sightings
I'm beyond inferior to proposals and promise of wedding bells

and the incoming wave of tiny giants

"The Magnus Effect"

A whole life in a deck of cards
dealt across the table
in front of the brutally dismissive,
the fortunes of the war worn read

Premium Member Healthy Natures
A distinction between Earth's regenerative nature
and healthy human nature
implicitly divides
what has been a leftbrain predominant verbal history
of multigenerational learning
and abstractive
extractive reflection
and unhealthy spirit deflection

Culminating in a competitive difference
between Earth's healthy Nature
and each individual's over valued

Violet-Blue Death
1. Non-fiction

The bathroom faucet gushes nectar
drowns my hands in never-laughter,
"Sorry" is a specter
when you told me "0" I felt disgusting,
hopelessly deluded,
naked.

Last night I dreamed
that New York City was nuked,
another Twin Towers Lost,
everyone radiated.

But then I...

Subliminal Perception
Was it some kind of a subliminal perception?
Confusing my interpretations of a misconception.
Was it you that pulled an affectionate deception?
Forcing me into a fake deflection.
A maneuver of the circumstance selections.

A ruse, a scheme, a hoodwinked...

That were worthy of weight
You decided I was special

Great suffering and pain
You decided to get from me

One cooperative way to take back disempowering choices

and whom to listen to
and whom to...
