Long Demigods Poems

There sits behind deep forests hidden,
A sight to behold, place of all sins ridden,

2020 global vision,
not yet ecologically there

Because, in part,
not still EgoMythic Here,
as timeless Now
restoring nutritional justice,

resonating in-between,
trembling EgoLeft toward EcoRight,
YangDusk toward Yin's Renewing Dawn
in hope of further ecstasies.

Form hooker to harlot,

Or a Whore engaging in promiscuous sexual intercourse, 
So many names and...

Absorbed by glowing colors on the wall
Their jaws slack, fetid whiff, unwashed and dank
Arrested minds the blue screen does enthrall

Their horticulture, growing docile strains
Indulge the twisted whims...

Somewhere in Africa, is a land blessed with nature:
Valuable gemstones beneath earth’s crust,
A fertile soil nurtured by divine tears from above,
And a blazing smile of radiant sun
But great depression has its hands gripped
On the heart...

Stories dared not whispered, legend of great thinker. 
Artificially created Atlantis, maze search for law-giver. 

Hushed lips speak no evil, silly little monkey cliche. 
Privy ancient knowledge, not clear as light and day.

These tyrants of men with fat belly eyes Infect our dreams.

Of a disappointed people, 
And we the demented fools believed,
Believed with all our hearts,...

The powers that be, undefined, ruthless, opaque authority 
Shapeless, bodiless, upstanding folk, coercing the majority 
Overseeing applications, supplications, ensuring conformity 
Specialists in quagmires, minefields, esoteric bureaucracy. 

The powers that be, model citizens, high ranking royalty...

“I’ll Take America”




We have our faults and failings;
Our mistakes are quite a few.
Our demigods have disappointed us 
And left society askew.

We’ve cleaned up some injustices
And created as many more
To found a sustainable independence
who many might...

A house of cards that will
Bring about a great fall

Can spellbound the masses
Becoming Kings and Queens
With illegitimate claims to fame

We lift them up high
On a plinth made of...

allowing hate and dishonesty to prosper unbarred.
We tempted fate, then saw cruelty's depth
as we watched a man die while pleading for breath.

As I walk this graveyard somber
Of a country shorn of life
Its gravestone reads, in the distance yonder
Stabbed by debt’s dagger knife

Of a past enlightened age
Founded this nation, with musket rods ...

O, Homerus! the gods’ bright eye,
On whom many a mad mortal dares to...

Oh, eternal empyrean thy thunder rumbles thru the hallucinogenic hells,
Where demons disseminate decadent deeds arising from lament…
As Angels plummet within their pandemonium’s pleasurable thirst,
The battles that lead to wars amidst a miasmatic malignant landscape…

I give my life to the wind; to
the fossils, the spirit, and the earth.
