I don't know,
S/He said,

(right winged left
exhaled downstream
past everyone's egopaled head)

If God is dead
and also much too Capitalistic,
LeftBrain dominant hegemonalistic

(like water to a philosophical shark)

If God is straight
and white
and a patriarchal supremacist accountant
calculating monoculturally ambitious values

Then...

Pain is everywhere
Springing from the crown 
Of the head and like jellyfish 
Expanding proboscis
Cover the whole body
Till the end of the toes
He collapses in epilepsy
And lays there on the cold floor
For the whole day
Till the...

Nero the god! I had a dream. 
There I was at the foot of Mount Olympus.
 Mother was with me as usual.

When love is not at home, she’s sad to be alone,
When love is not...

I worshipped words
Paid homage
Idolized their shape and form
Brought my paltry gifts
And laid them at the shrine
Of THE GOD OF WORDS
Hoping to gain favor from my idol
To be touched in such a way
As to imbue my...

In the name of God,
myriads of innocents have been slain.
In a time of war, 
God takes sides, they enthusiastically proclaim.
But,
What effect does this teaching have,
on all the masses?
Those pawns in the game,
found among all the...

Although gay women are attractive,
Can their love be counted on,
A chemistry that’s non-reactive,
Oligarchs of Amazon?

They face perhaps same traps that we do
Think of men as only drone,
An inverse baby kind of voodoo
Makes weak labeled sex...

Must hymn the breath which gave it life and light
Despairs for harmonies which subtly meet
In whirlpools where bright genii wake to fight. 

Asleep along the foaming shore there lie
Two citadels...

The lone coconut tree that dared

to lean towards the sea,

gave shade to her friends while

playing on the beach.

Running half-naked so natural

to those blossoming teens,

mother's lagoon fishing straddling

the sea so blue and pristine.

Water glistening on her...

The Lord asks, “Where are you, O Man?”
“Come into my bosom, hold onto my right hand.”

Yet our hearts so cloaked in unbelief
We see and hear, but don't perceive

Instead, we look around for an excuse
That His...

It’s about strong powers and strong gods
Saying grace in the face of fear

Saving face when we shed a tear

We work in the steel mills

I’m elated by all reason, 
The time to despair is only time wasted. 
Freedom from all fear and anguish, 
The evolution of the species.

Be it God or the Devil?

Christmas comes but once a year---

Christmas comes but once a year;
We all must remember why, it's here;
It's not all about gifts and presents;
Yet, there's something more that needs to be represent;

everything sounds better 
through headphones---
every succulent morsel of music
drips from the wires lodged in the ears or
packed tight against the head,
sometimes completely encapsulating our ears,
