To be tossed in chains below deck on the Portuguese ship Tecora,2
Sailing the Atlantic Middle...

Where

all those other

small dreams
seen as toys
small and
inconsequential
casually tossed aside,
disposable play,
things
pure shining lights
smiling eyes once so bright,
switched off,

A Dream of a Rainbow Coloured FamilyA dream of a Rainbow coloured family
In the ocean there is a raging storm
And a lot of boats
With rudders that are shattered,
Compasses lost, sails that are torn.
And dreams that are faded or tattered

Restoring Deeply Conservative ProgressOur old nemesis,
capitalism,
is much older than democratic theory,
and even older than profoundly resilient democratic practice,
which is rather like Christianity--
often communion preached
and seldom democratically and multiculturally proficient,
fruitful,
viral,
contagious,
multiplying economic loaves
and politically empowering fish.
Capital-rooted values
derive from tribal chiefs,

These peoples of a conditioned and
"Resigned-To-it-all" breed.
Born into the enveloping tedium
Of interlocking days...Interwoven
With interlocking days -
Victims of stark circumstance
And vague promises unmade.
Gregariously living out their lives

Tragic Climates For ComediansIf we invested more educational mentoring time
sharing our own mixed-use and neglectful abuse
poetic wisdom stories,
and less time memorizing exegetical LeftBrain histories,
we might more cooperatively learn to live healthier together
and to internally die less, apart.
An under-exploited...

As their first son...

The Wandering MinstrelIn history one can read of an earlier time,
When poetry and lyrics written in rhyme,
Were commonplace. A travelling band
Of troubadours would wander the land,
Writing and singing, to bestow delights
On ladies, peasants, and errant knights.
