Long Ill advised Poems

Send me no more peak experiences.

They are too dear
for my everyday time budget
of liberal
liberated
liberating 
resonantly exhausting compassion.

I am too addicted
to conserving resilient peaks,

of co-empathic co-arising intent

In December (On Life’s Calendar)

My golden years (am I a fool?) span each day of my life,
their lustrous sheen uncompromised by friends that time’s embraced,

THE ENEMY WITHIN



She’s in there arguing with my affirmations.

She's sabotaging my dreams.

She kicks my best decisions in the derriere.

She confuses my left brain, my god brain,

And she encourages the repetitive behavior



That never worked in the...

 Poetic writes speak volumes too,
 this profound nature of humanity;
 expression’s glyph or determination’s rift,
 each soothing rhyme or base profanity;
 provoke of consciousness that drift,

These distant fields furrow...

a simple statement, two words of encouragement from a queen

barely an audible command, more like a kind mediation 
before her castle becomes swept with an influx of information
swarming with the...

The thrust of salvation's revelation;
Straight from the buckle of the Bible Belt -
Crusading on a plan of what they felt:
"The World for Christ in One Generation."

Their causes - all so specious and remote:
Ban dance and...

Resolved was I to exercise,
To utmost try to slenderize.
From flabby bod I'd poundage peel
To Grecian god beneath reveal.

But soon my straining torso frail
Becomes complaining, moaning male.
I parts exert unused for years,
Resulting hurt benumb with beers.

I only ask questions
most answers are with
those far wiser than I
far more erudite -- 

whose examples are all around
me:

poisoning of the atmosphere
greed and famine produced
battlefields populated with 
human body parts;

these self evident truths

Snared and trapped by hypocrisy

I wanted to lay low
Or get recognized
Stormy nights and days with rainbows
Was it all really like what is televised
I think not, but for you and me I wish us the best in life
Any wrongs...

Still an Atheist
I'm a hypocrite for saying this
But don't ever think it's wise
To drink and drive

Looking at it with different eyes
Looking at it with different minds
Looking at it from different sides

All across the Mason-Dixon Line

In an ill-advised decision,
Educationally dumb,
New York City’s ranked its teachers,
Which defies the rule of thumb.

For the whole world now has access
To the way each teacher scored,
Though I thought humiliation
Was a means to be deplored.

Earth life, a hard school, dark desire cesspool,
Senses externalised, all objects sized,
No wonder then, we behave like a fool,
Truth dawns, when by Holy Spirit baptised.

Ego controls thoughts, so we’re ill-advised,
Body hormones rule, our instincts cruel,
Bemused...
