Long Exploitations Poems

created by our own collective lack of mindfulness
about how to play longer-term...

The 9 o'clock concord  flight that night
They were on Trinidadian ground 
Within two hours. Then rented a
Limo, chauffer included. When 
Four arrived on the site they noticed the...

I recall a card game
probably extending back past the 1950s
called Old Maid.

There was also Authors
and a few other choices
less popular with me.
But Old Maid sticks in mind
as blatantly sexist
and ageist
and, for a country kid
in redneck...

A sound of fury rising for how man is treating man,
A sound of fury about hidden histories that some cannot face,
Of mass genocides and exploitations based...

China, the rising giant;
China, the ruthless tyrant.
China, proud host of the Olympic Games,
China, notorious records of shame.
China, Olympic torch burning bright;
China, missing flame of human rights.
China, model of reform and openness;
China, cruel crackdowns with patent...

I once dreamed of being a hero.
Of picking up a gun or sword and defending 
A child, my school, my cousins, my friends.
Of going into a burning building to save
A baby, a dog, a father,...

Teaching can feel depressingly predative
to younger minds
preferring to not evaporate while preyed upon.

Mentoring can feel more hopefully symbiotic
with younger,
fresher,
less domesticated minds
preferring to mutually stalk
shared prey of symbiotic and creolizing truths
between generations,
ancient to yet unborn.

Parenting can...

My Narrative Reportage for 8/8/2018

Darkness engulf the room, in my dream,
The summer knaves logo theme, heats the city

You are captivated hundred years ago
Auctioned your innocent beauty
Tasted various blood that kissed on the land
Marked the scars of exploitations

Trampled your dignity!

Barrowed the freedom declared by other
Fake declarations put our forefathers in trouble
Glared them by...

Like a thunderbolt from mystery 
well
With full consciousness of 
Nature
As planned and re planned
Behold! A shoot of SOMETHING
Arose from the well base.

The thing was woken into 
consciousness
But hardly did it discover
But guided by the Supreme...

  to ponder the situation of government at will.

Temptation, leaky parts
The erratic behavior of
Industrial, copper hearts
Kept in the dark , despairing,
The dysfunctional silence
pumps through the grid,
Anonymous, incomplete
Too vast to forbid and 
Ambiguous too.  Herders,
Hurricane force baiters
Consolidate the prize,
Surround it with walls,
Aggregation, spiritual
Splinters...
