Long Impertinence Poems

And the music began,
And with power so strong, I nearly fell back from the force
Snarling, smiling, demons held me upright,
As the Precarious Prince began,

“Dare you in silence come to me, Daughter of Eve,
To challenge my...

Pertinent Compassion

Impertinence
reminds Roshi Susan Murphy,
refers not only to Trumpian rudeness
crudeness
ruthlessness
but also irrelevance
to Earth's Kingdom
at Compassionate Healing Hand.

I was watching "Silence"
of zealous colonizing missionaries
learning therapeutic compassion
by growing more relevant to cultures
languages
indigenous to unwashed aliens
suffering from capital-zealous...

I'm listening to my least favorite inside voice
again
still reminding me in inconsistent Yang denial
of his own internal Yin belonging
to non-violently long for resolutions
toward a more PositivEnergy CoOperation.

This time
"I don't believe in No Gun Zones."

It does...

Impertinence of Zealotry

Impertinence
reminds Roshi Susan Murphy,
refers not only to Trumpian rudeness,
but also irrelevance
to Earth's Kingdom 
at Compassionate Hand.

I was watching "Silence" last night
about zealous colonizing missionaries
learning creolizing compassion
of growing relevant to cultures
languages
indigenous to unwashed aliens

'Twas 
bit
of a joke
for most
of the folk
that had
rallied round
the town
'twas
the first
I heard
a bit absurd
so I
went and
asked around
'twas
up the
hill and
down again
until
I found
my friend
'twas
then I
learned
he too
not heard
what rallied
round the town
'twas 
curious
tad furious
that
neither
him nor I
heard not
a thing
about this...

Iniquity, impunity, injustice invade Internet interaction
Alongside odious obliteration and cunning coercion
Facilitated and militated with unabashed attention and intention   

To minutest details
To misspell the capture of heads and tails
Which in essence sells injustice and...

I've been meaning to write for a long time. 
but sometimes 
my words willingly remain hostage 
in my heart. 
Not wanting to be heard.
Covered and crumpled.
I cannot sink in 
I am 18.
it's frightening,
Getting old

Come Father, become human and kind...
sit at my  blessed and abundant table,
and have a dialogue with me!
Many questions assumed for myself:
like uncotrollable rivers flooding their banks...
pitifully susceptible to oblivion;
a disaster so real and not...

Everywhere a whistle blows
Seemingly from nowhere
And I stop to look around
Fearing I’m breathing in cruel air
I met her in the shrine garden
She took her oath in silence
She saw the eyes of God
The litany left her...

Easier from a bush to take a man
Than from a man to take the bush
Cos bush sinks DNA into Salman
Making removal hard to push

In settings where Salman regresses to type
Despite apparent education
Acquired with much hype
With...

How many colors in jealousy?
The participants - a favorite child,
parents, and a rainbow of siblings.
The lining feels good and comfortable
for the swaddled tale bearer, enough so
the dreamer dreams of being in charge,
though being the littlest...

While growing up
The creed my culture inculcates that
Respect ye thy elders
Is now lying lifeless outside the beautiful 20th century's gate.

Little did I move than I realized a frozen limb
After her little palm roughly caressed my...

She misted into the bar
and stood blinking in the neon wash
Her gaze meandering
over tribal councils
of youthful conquest and conflicts.
Curled trestles of burnt blonde
hair framed her naivety.
Greenest eyes with hints of jealous dragon scales.
Red satin shirt...

THE DREAM OF THE QUAKER’S SON
 
A Quaker preacher had a son
Who loved the banker's child
Impertinence and religious talk
Made the banker wild

Tenacious Hayes still loved Elaine
Politely asked her hand
Her father said that he’d agree
If Hayes...

Woe to you Lust
Nemesis of men whose conscience you manipulate and ensnare
Reducing their pituitary gland to impotent dust
Singing their future and dignity with no iota of care 

To plunge King David to his downfall
Steal from...

Grind Grind oh mind,
and hear the restless breath. 
Experience the impatient eye
wanting all and yet preserving its fate.
What and why? 
Bewildered at what your mind may state.   

Some hands are pure.
Some care but...

Meaningless Numbers

The worst numbers are those with rough edges
Perversions of nature not smooth or level
With odd forms and shapes
Having them around insults circles
And the innocent curved numbered ones
Meaningless, are the digits not used
If there is...

Oh, Land of the Free 
You have presumptuously deemed yourself the mouthpiece and policy maker

Tell the monster
Tell the monster, you little coward

That it mustn’t murder
To show it eternally wretches and writhes
To show your inner maggots that crave malcontent

To bring down all with its own misery
To give...

What may be said
of the phenomenon
perceived just once,
and almost not at all,
that were it known
across the galaxy,
would shake the stars?

Might it be likened
to the faded signal of distress
picked up one time 
out of the ocean...

Fields, shields and yields of love heal
Upheavals hearts harassed and heckled in circumstances
Maintained, retained and sustained on a hill
Disown and drown doubts in cocoons that ingratiate impertinence instances.

Fields, shields and yields of love lubricate
Gears and...

I’m pinched, not sweet, and ferociously piqued!
A stomp of vines, my feet juiced red — and drunk.
Embossed my boss — his painted smile. He freaked.
Impertinence! I’d put up with his junk!

Worked extra hard to please...

Grandmother October Tree went bowling
Using the most yellow-orange moon she could find.
Sure it was easy, as it was right in front of her
A harvest moon, easy to pluck from the sky

How do you do that?...
