'til today's unsheathed bladed Java buttons clicking

Steal away the idol children
Work ‘em to death,
give them no pay
Carry their cries 
	      on a plaintive wind

Pilfer their graven image mind
Then fill it with empty thoughts
of caste assimilation

Melting pot...

Long time ago when I was still a child,
I watched my grandpa in his shrine pour out libation,
Under the tree and amidst sun’s ferocious tide,
To a graven image constructed out of determination.

OBSESSION OF SOAPS

obsessed with the daylight hours
specifically the graven-image afternoon
like high place dungeon towers

calgon’s commercial didn’t “take me away”
but a clever string of soaps did the trick
yes ~ for three “wholesome” hours every day

I heard an angel speak last night
and he said "write".------------------Elizabeth Barrett Browining

I was told I was liberated 
by the children
of the people who enslaved me

I was told I was emancipated 
by the graven image
on the penny

The children said:
“Please forgive their forefathers — 
It was only business,
nothing...

the conversations are rolled into the corners
stretching into a fifth dimension
perpendicular to all points
this is where i love you
curled back upon itself
unavailable to the eye
the physicist’s graven image
produced at energy levels
no longer on demand
counterfeited
lying useless...

Although I can't describe exactly how it's shelved.
It's supernatural and so great,
And it pushes me to walk with strong faith.

(Poetry) let it thicken as it stands.

Let it be beautiful, unharnessed verbal rage or 
song or deed, or graven image set in stone, where 
walls fell around some demagouge in 
some ill-remembered time.

A quintessential graven image
A bunkum to this present age
Destructive and repulsive
Crisps grips with hands sieve
Pismal dismal for this mar,this mar.
Dictative,will never mind your scars
Disgraces all graces with one face.
Defaces characters in different jiff phases.
Addiction is...

Your first touch awakened in me
A longing, a lotus
A love I once thought dead
You stood there and filled
My entire sky with only that sole
Moonstone look in your eyes
The one that told me I was

What proud Americans see,
has been done before
Graven image glory ...
Mount Rushmore
Four faces carved into 
a mountainside
South Dakota idols looks like 
the one in southern Sudan
Mount Abu Simbel,
circa 1200 B.C.
Four Pharaoh figures
standing tall 100 feet
Graven images...

in your keen and carnal insight ...

the rags of my inhibitions

strewn at my feet …

are my thoughts still my own

care and coil

or have you plucked those from my boughs

made ripe

the fodder for...

Perfection, is an evil lord
demanding ever greater tribute, 
it wields a sharp and heavy sword
that pierces deep to persecute

I fear this liege, this graven image
there's no resistance to his wants;
no will, nor the amount of...
