Long Dividend Poems

Can you make any sense of
systemic racism?

No more common sense than
too much patriarchalism--
all leftbrain-rightwing dominant things
oppressing sacred Earth's
polycultural win/win systems
promoting resiliently wealthy
resonant synergetic health

Care given
as received
in fruitful wombs,
like apple cores in transition
from refuse
toward rebirth

Maybe an...

they disturb, deep behind my sleeping eyes
  ......
  retune my tautened strings, replay my frets
  vignette movies spin reels of dreams discovering
  fresh slants on shadowy delight
  the foreboding, ominous,...

I was perched upon a wooden bench beneath a bottle tree 
when this worn out wiry ringer stopped to rest his gammy knee. 
I’d been touring through the outback and had sought to sit a...

Itinerant mercenary shrouded with penitent robe
Shining beacon for terrorists around the globe
Hermetic curmudgeon; gun-toting xenophobe
Zealous provacateur who for ardent jihadists did probe

Material wealth a means; establishing a caliphate the end
Seeking Arab-royalty's, sovereign-sheikdoms to rend
Scourge of...

There is no reason to surrender, no reason at all
No reason to cry or regret after a rough fall

I am the newly born face of munificence, unquenchable beauty. 
My tides are full with bountifulness, like an orchard to the table.
My fleece radiates guiltless white, bestowed like a lamb, fresh 
upon its mother. And...

The rich fare so poorly
in completely divesting of the gold chains
Losing it all ... casting away
the luster of the pearly platinum 
family portraits on the baroque mansion, 
spiral stairway wall

The copper savings ... deposit daub...

Beware my friends of those who use science
To justify their actions.
Some too unspeakable to sully this page.

One would think that we would have learned from 
Past mistakes but still we all too easily fall into...

After scary Halloween and its ghoulish pranks
November dawns with all-saint’s and all soul’s day
Carrying a pious note in the balmy wind
Along with the haunting memories of our dear departed

November parades herself in a riot of...

   In the dark corners of their minds,
lies hidden secrets and falsetto, falsety 
and masquerade blind.
Humming to transcendental humanistic deities.
Beating you down to the beat 
of their own drum of a 4th kind.

Ghettos...

It's time to go and I feel so free.
There's a place out there for Mike and me;
Where the sun shines bright and the wind don't blow.
"Follow me," Mike says, "now it's time to go."
Without a...

When in time or season does your heart find it easier

day, with beautiful flowers to the left, gorgeous birds
singing to the right...

There is no trace of them on face book,
No matter how hard you look,
It is no better,
To go on Twitter,
And you would not want to be talked in,
To having a debate on LinkedIn.

Desire is my boarding pass.
Each destination looms with
new experience brought about with
just the entering of heads--

New worlds revolve before the conscious eyes
of thought emerging all around me;
could I then turn away?  Floral-scented breezes
from another's...

Why does the world look at God's Work with insolence
To be done cheaply and weakly and never to achieve excellence
While investing its great minds in humanistic intelligence
Depriving many and making premium of God's providence
That their...

Don't need a beat, don't need to eat

Behind the bar as i
stood alone with my
thought
I could see the life
of my people
In misery and agony
fighting for
freedom.
How they are
humiliated and
discriminated 
By the leaders in
their own
fatherland.
My mouth failed me
for words
My eyes detested my
tears.

How could it...

A defenseless seed planted in spring's tempestuous furrow
Nourished with fertile juices; warmed in caressing burrow
Escaping subterranean cavern into formative strand, roots still 
shallow  
Sprouting into a strappling seedling that doth hope, promise bellow

In sweltering, summer...
