                                         When my Life Changed

                                     In midst of my journey of life
                                   Starkly I was shattered by fate
                               With the razor-sharp blade of knife,
                                 Harshly hurled in hands of Hades.

                                After two long-stretched surgeries
                                 Within the short span of ten days
                                  For curled intestines, with worry
                                     And acute pains, supine I lay;

                                 For months I stayed gazing at sky
                                   Seeking divine grace and mercy,
                               To shine strength on me to stand high
                                     And rain on me His clemency.

                                 Ever since my life changed for good:
                                    No more my force I could recoup
                                    No more taste of fast fatty foods,
                                   But just the flavour of light soups;

                                 No more the tang of sweetish treats
                                     No more savour of salty feasts,
                                Gone were days of strolling on streets
                                   With acute pains, the body fleeced;

                                  Days turned into darkness of nights
                                     Amidst the wrath of wild winters,
                                   Despite the rays of sunshine bright 
                                 Cold were days of sparkling summers.  

                                   On hindsight, the change in my life
                                      Pitched me closer up to the sky
                                   With flame of faith lighting my strife,
                                       Gems of hope shining in my eyes;

                                     Was the change ways of divine will
                                        To field me close to the sublime,
                                         Or payment of debt with a chill,
                                          Only He can disclose to Time.

666 Fear of Numbers 999

who is too busy fighting the devil, 
all good energy eluded 

if you truly understood yourself 
you would not be so deluded 

many fight an imagined internal 
fear- 

everyone allows the devil within 
your nasty thoughts, never shared... 

...madman exposed by the violent act... 
lay dormant suppressed by false fear... 

this knowing, this accepting, 
a purely human observation, 
blame God if you must you are 
after all his miracle creation? 

who pays for the lip 
service to a religion 
built on mans' 
self destruction, 

...devised by 
corruption... 

a religion built on 
wars self sacrifice 
, desperate 
resurrection, 
modified reincarnation, 

how do you know, this religion is 
not the devils' work?, 

after all, there are more sinners inside 
than outside of a church... 

playing second fiddle to a man who 
claims he is the annoited one, 

this religious lip service, 
could the annoited be a fraud?...no! thats right 
God speaks to him, oh yeah nut jobs... 
it's voices he heard... 

if you were all together, free in your 
mind-you would be able to see 
how you are being fleeced 
you wouldn't be so blind... 

hey keep going to the preacher... 
he's probably keeping you sane... 
it's cheaper than doctor, financially 
less of a strain... 

but remember, just because you go to 
church you're no better than me 
just a little desperate, out of touch 
with reality... 

a lot of people these days stay away 
from the pulpit, history reveals... 
basically it's a weapon, it's a devil 
filling your head with s#@t... 

...many believers understand...this 
religious clap trap in modern day 
does not apply... 

It is belief in ones self...this 
you cannot preach or buy... 

if you need someone to lecture you 
on what is wrong from right... 
to judge other people on any given 
day or night...than you are in the 
right place... 

your mind is outdated 
attend your weekly meetings 
have your mind manipulated 

hey whatever floats your boat... 
whenever the day comes and you 
decide to exit... 

the people up here will still refer to you 
as a mind deeply perplexed a thought 
not easily rejected... 

you have the answers, 
they are in your head-but 
you would rather listen to 
a history, a reign of 
madmen instead

                                                 But I say
                                               " Let's go! "
                                             It's my favorite
                                           time of year again!
                                          Let's put on our boots
                                       fleeced lined jackets, gloves,
                                    and head to the mountains for our
                                  annual search for the "perfect" tree!
                             Every year, this one event,  a family tradition...
                        has almost landed us in divorce court!  Why, we were
                      almost featured in the local newspaper with a headline:
                    "Local Father, Wielding Hatchet, Ends A Family’s Tradition”
                   It's not that my husband doesn't enjoy the spirit of the season...
                  Perhaps it's just the memory of the times we got stuck in the
              mud, while he's trudged back two miles to find the nearest phone.  
            Maybe he remembers another time when it slipped out of it's ropes
         wiggled from the top of our car, (no place to pull over)… in a storm,…. 
      (he had to squint through branches fanned on the windshield to see the
    road..all the while, muttering language not quite jolly, no holiday spirit!)    
While backseat drivers, sung "Jingle Bells", while enjoying hot chocolate…
                              and raving over the beauty of the season!
                    This year....he declares that we are getting an artificial tree!!
                                                          Ain't
                                                         Gonna
                                                         Happen!

Ever Since I Experienced Being Significantly Monetarily Sidelined

Ever since I experienced being significantly monetarily sidelined...
(how about that topic for a change of pace?)

Yes back to getting walloped, decked
and clubbed courtesy cold hearted brute,
who casually, glad handedly, and royally
flushed out mine tailored pricey suit
wherein every pocket
once stashed, and lined with loot.

Ever since scamming imbroglio
(three weeks ago today -
July eleventh two thousand twenty three)
yours truly, a formerly
happy go lucky wordsmith
immune to the plethora
of devious shenanigans
courtesy predacious traitors
to the bywords of honesty and integrity
scamper away with laundered money.

Mine fantasy modus operandi to cope
regarding falling prey
to hoax gullible guy
to surrender crisp greenbacks
entrapment like a dope
no matter poet of Penn Valley
at the end of his figurative rope,
when fraudsters shill and scope
out crosshairs stunning
persons exhibiting naïveté
the following escapist ploy adopted.

E'er since I (a reincarnated cavalier
or gentleman snubbed
by sought after Southern Belle)
at night suicidal ideations
visit psyche as haunting spectre
sublimated death wish
permeates thru mine every cell
courting the grim reaper
to carry me back to carry
me back to Old Virginny,

where lovely bones
of me Confederate ancestors dwell
upon bloody fields farewell
to arms and legs
mounted battlefields when groundswell
of internecine warfare
made life on earth 
wind and fire created a living hell
he who fleeced me
vengeance doth impel
to imagine him gunned down
as enemy numero uno.

Moribund courtesy online heist
me entire being feels
chopped, minced, and appallingly diced,
hence no surprise

sheepishly admitting to ewe
how yours truly still feels blue
aghast at passivity prevailed
how grievousness flourishes
checking and savings accounts
frankly zapped analogous
how David regarding Goliath he slew,
yet impossible mission
to know your enemy

with absolute zero details,
cuz the fly by night scamp
flat out sold pack of lies
of course I voluntarily
must admit straightaway and true
mine fingers converted cash
to bitcoin currency
yet entranced, kickstarted, seduced
as Harvey Specter
did courtesy sotto voce woo.

Premium Member Never Land Part 6

The birds of pray are on their way, in every beak the Word

(of ptomaine tomes by gnarly gnomes) whose meaning is obscured;

they roost aloof on every roof, obscene but always herd,

to tell the tale of Jonah’s whale and other rhymes absurd -

with shifty eyes, they’re giving whys for living life deferred.



While jackals lean, hyenas mean, and hungry crocodiles

feast in the lounge and never scrounge, lambs languish in the aisle.

The naive dare to say “Unfair, let’s try to reconcile.

We’ll all relax and weigh the facts, let justice spin the dial.”



With jaundiced monks and minds pre-shrunk, the jury is compiled.

The Rulers meet, First Ladies greet, the Kings appear in style.

Before the Court, their sins are short, they’re swept into a pile;

with diatribes and petty bribes, the jurors are beguiled.



The Herd entreats, the Shepherd bleats the verdict of the trial:

“You have no face. Stay in your place, stay in the Rank and File.

And wait instead, for when you’re dead, for riches afterwhile”;

Aristocrats add caveats while sailing down the Nile:

“If Minds are mugged or simply drugged with philtres in a vial,

then few indeed will fail to feed the Pharaoh’s Crocodile.”

The wordsmiths spin, the bankers grin and politicians smile,

the riff and raff, they never laugh, they mark a martyred mile.



The rituals are finished, all, here comes the Reverent Priest.

He leads the crowds beneath the clouds, and there the flock is fleeced

with crossing signs and bloody wines and consecrated yeast,

“The last are first, the rich are cursed.” (The leached remain the least.)

His step is gay without dismay before his evening feast;

he thanks the Lord for room and board and bows to Eden East;

he doesn’t sigh or wonder why the sins have not decreased.



The sinking sun is now undone, the sky is fading red.

A spider black hides in a crack and spins a silken thread

and babes will soon collapse and swoon, on curbs they call a bed;

with vacant eyes they'll fantasize and dream of gingerbread,

and so be freed, though still in need, from anguish of the dead.

Premium Member Broken Wings Unsheathed

Resurrections lone fallen spiritual being, kneeling within the darkness of mine
Own tormented soul, broken, fractured at fetters ivory appendages, a flightless
Angelic Dark winged angel standing alone, weeping in the nights blackened clouds of utter blindness, a disarmed shield maiden of heavens grace!
Seeking the lightning storms final thrust of thunders rapture, my burnt scorched
Feathers descend cascading downwards, as melting leaves captured in the
 Autumn winds of betrayals flame of the sinful heart, left unsheathed!
Virtue’s innocence lies slain in the battlefield of mercy’s shamed, shattered
Is the core of faith’s fragile child, lost amongst the hailing hurricane, 
Battered and bruised, the white dove soars beyond clarity’s grasp!
 Biting tears clash against the bare exposed flesh, stinging with malice’s
Hatred, as the face of God shuns this black fleeced lamb, whom broke
The vows promise, and interfered in the world of man!
Banished daughter of the light, unable to capture the winds of flight,
Transcendences none descendant trapped by the loving spirit
Willing to help the mortal being, begging for mercy’s compliance!
Yet shadowed by the dark illusions of the hastening storm of
Ignorance, she shed forgiveness tears on behalf of the unworthy,
 For in the night humanities brethren turn away from the hungry,
Homeless, and the lost children that huddle within the darkness!
Thin are the clouds separation, as the storms rage begins to abate
Gods anger grows to the point of understandings loving, the grates
Of heaven casts shafts of grace, weakened by the hailing wake,
The lamb is unable to move amongst the silences eye of the hurricane!
Ever gently is lowered the cradle, the rocking crib of the healing
Miracle set at the flash points ushering of forgiveness, for the Shepard
Has reclaimed that which was lost!
In chorus spiritual assembly a small figure sings with heights
Reverence’s praise, and the master of the divine smiles
Upon this child of light, for her voice shines above all others,
For she is the fallen, now arisen with the wings
Of the outcastes singed!

Do Dot To Dot

Clump of earth. Green glow. Clump of concrete clapping. Green glow. A grouped nylon is akin to a skinny pair of trousers swinging in a breeze. Twisting with furry knees. But not ever in trees. It is the pointed cradle fork that envelops a mysterious marshy rock into a music score. How rather talented. And how rather quaint too. But a tulip in a tutu is quite wild so shut the door on a barm cake. Ok then. Good. So don't put it down carry it. Vast amounts of miles. And don't sit down. Twenty three hours of sit down in a basket looks rather like a very large dog snoring in a bed. Rather remarkable when the banquet begins. The very long jewelled hands beckon to the plates. Then consume. Vast amounts. While the skinny cat looks in from the window. It might be thrown a pea. Hum. Not substantial is it? And very very very unfair, feudal and unbalanced. Economic egg eats erotic éclairs. In a bistro. Large belly grumbling in hugh waisted pants. Circumference of injections cannot control countries. Calling the rain. Singing to sun beams. In an iced cave. Or a tree. Moat built around a house to house a lord is quite similar to a ladle entering a soup. Or a kettle whistling to water. External shroud. Internally baked. And the state signal of a lemon with pursed lips is spitting words like a sour lemonade. With hardly any sugar. Snow then. Beams budding booming bricking bridges bringing benign baked bomber blooms. And the dusk brings the tailored iconic broom heads. Watch for the tightly woven hairstyles then. In suits. Lean lanky laviscious lecherous limpets. Often dress in red gowns. And hide hair in wigs. But no gigs or pigs. Ok. Ridicule not a rabbit ear or tooth of a rhino. Smiling sunnily. In pendants. In palaces. Paint no fallen star on an erotic empty feather or a leaf. And flock is not a fleeced sheet nor sheets of printed plagiarised rubbish. Zoom then burn. And when burning swim. Very good. Hahaha lettuce loving leeches. Hahahahha twenty cows plus sixteen minutes equals moooo. Xxxxx derogation dogs. Xxxxx humanitarian z this is the p y q reporting from 89.0. On a windy day. Ooh. X. Z 0%

Bigfoot's Ancient Great Granddaddy

Who is Bigfoot’s Great-grand Daddy?

Whether living in a city or on the mountain side,
People from the world around astound us with their views.
He’s nine-feet tall, a hairy thing, uprightly he flees astride.
Only tracks are left behind and the mystery accrues.

They say that Big Foot does exist and for eons has survived.
A humanoid of greatest size a hairy manlike beast.
Is he really all they say, or are the stories contrived?
And if he lives, tell me, are our imaginations fleeced?

(Genesis 27 … paraphrased…) 
Jacob goes to get two goats and steal his father’s blessing. 
Their mom prepared a feast of goat, delicious, to Isaac’s taste.
Then, tied goatskin to Jacob’s neck and hands, realizing. 
Jacob dressed in Esau’s clothes calmly goes to his father with haste.

Meanwhile, Esau, far away was hunting for venison as asked. 
Traipsing around through the scrubby woods tracking.
Moving quickly with his great might to fulfill his father’s task.
A man with hair like that of a goat, his birthright was loosing.

Jacob smelled like Esau and the fields, but his voice…
Isaac questioned, so he felt Jacob’s goatskin clad hands.
Satisfied by the goatskin disguise, destiny made its choice.
Jacob received a blessing of wealth and all of his father’s lands.

When Esau returned with the venison feast, deceit was revealed. 
But it was too late his birthright was gone; he was very mad.
“Give me a blessing, father please.” He begged as he kneeled.
You shall live on the fat of the earth…unyoked…his father said.

I wonder –
Is Bigfoot, like Esau, a hunter-gatherer with hands as hairy as a goat?
Does he live independently, a type of man, a scary giant beast?
Wandering upon earth, too and fro, with life barely afloat.
Brothers separated by that ancient deceit filled feast.

Is Bigfoot the hunter-gatherer living on the fat of the land?
Has he since the day of Rachael’s scam lived secluded and beastly?
Have generation upon generation descended that ancient hunting man? 
Could Isaac in the Bible be Big Foot’s ancient Great-grand Daddy?
