The Age of Lies 

Inimitable political satirical sardonically charged empirical verse for commiseration.

There was Mumbai dreams and Harbor Freight
A hippie guy sold sunglasses from a stall

Should Have Seen

You should have seen what I saw;
Looked just like my mother in law;
Had been devoted;
Body badly bloated;
She called me a turkey in the straw.

Jim Horn

Think Turkey in the Straw is a dance.

So here’s the deal:
I’m completely pissed off, but not really-
Really I’m heartbroken and just trying to breathe through the ache in my chest,
But that really has nothing to do with what’s going on does it....

Home to our familes we will go
No more blinding white in surround

   the color blends are peaceful and serene,
in ripples of reflective color hues
   that mirror mix of sky and hills of green.

Why won’t they love me
Why don’t they like me
Why won’t they pay
Any mind
I am beautiful
Aren’t I 

Why won’t they notice
Why don’t they know me
Even when I feel oh so fine
They won’t take the time, why

When your best friends
Wear lab coats
And carry instruments
The steal smiles
And steam the meaningful 
stains
Out of your soul,
(The little imperfections
In all of us that 
Help sculpt and mold
Our images)
Remaining self-aware for
Self-awareness’ sake
Becomes potentially problematic.
Floating above reason...

Dark night of the soul

Dark night of the soul,
questions our life role,
feeling incomplete,
staring at defeat.

Our void-centric view
lets bliss beats renew,
whilst ego contracts;
from God’s path detracts.

spewing thoughts shoddy
but are living light,
vibrant day and night.

Life’s...

And Nature is connected to me
From the tiniest ant
To the largest elephant
From creatures in the deepest ocean
To those on top the highest mountain
From the tiniest plant
To the largest tree

Love within faith
Fight within boundaries
Smile without hate. 

Breathe with your voice
Sleep with your strength
Laugh with your humor
Cry at arm's length.

Melt within memories
Think without facts
Yearn with just heart
Dismiss what detracts

Lean with no shoulder
Kiss with...

Deft tiptoing of enemy feet
Trails progress of this ink;
Such that when one word 
I pen I must pose to think. 

Usurping hand’s derailment
Detracts my scribblings too;
So when firing thoughts stir,
I lose lucid inspiration's glue. 

Weirdest...
