Feeling again

Ice water floated stagnant misery in caustic veins coffin nails and razor blades 
waited for the vultures of frosted lavish lava-daggers staring at the mirror with 
no reflection other than the murderous screams numbed by images of tangled 
ropes teasing from sunken rafts and twisted rafters train tracks guiding void 
demise frozen blazing ashes suffocating feelings that cannot feel any longer when 
moribund candles flickered reaped what had been lost submerged forgotten in eternity 

This cess pit of smudged smeared convulsed spider web on death row of mindless 
mind does not resemble what the Buddha meant when he or she insinuated
mindful nothingness Nirvana half starved but happy under the fig tree’s shadow

One step at a time barefoot when spirituality meant ‘Jonny Walker’ all waters
turned into whining wine homeless wandering under bridges of destruction
appeared to be at least some being tempted dissolution dancing rugged demise
at the cliff face of life living hell aneasthetised vanished meaning arrested river
flowing backwards to the Source a sprinkling spring temptation clothed in rags
and feathered tarnished nakedness tarred with just one brush the stroke of black

Lost figs composted marbles undergrowth of metamorphous germination alighted
when grapes turned into peaches mingling scented wakes of wakening blossoms
once icicles melted merged into tingling titillating finger-skin and fingertips searched 
to join minds with souls and souls with minds and bodies touching senses feelings 
intellectual pheromones oozing from the fruits of scented fragrance life togetherness
they formed a delta confluence new openings direction thrusts and trust and nurture

Many nights have passed since peaches’ revelation revolution formed scooping spoons
from moons and moons from spoons delicious rhythmic rhyming twines of poet trees 
in living motion poetry and miracles suspended and conjoined at hips and minds

The Adventures of Jonny Quest and The Talk
[Truth be told, I was too young at the time to know the nuances as to why after a year, this cartoon series ended until later in life. Here is my interpretation]

Hey there Jonny, 
what's with the "H".
Gave it to Hadji?
or the ole MPH!

You've been off the air!
What? The station's bare?

No more Jonny Quest Adventures?
Or heavily backed-up debentures?

No, we're just on a little hiatus,
Right, Hadj!
Nobody truthfully hates us,
No dodge!

It's Been a Long, Long Time, I feel!
Song of the sixty's is your spiel?

Man, I'm just stating some of the facts!
It's not about you it's about the contracts.

Read it, man, it's all there in black and white!
It's all signed on the bottom line, it's airtight!

Come on guys, they carried you all on a year's run.
Every episode had proceeded into a cost overrun.

The handwriting was definitely on the wall,
Someday, all the king's horses had to fall.

Thanks for all of The Adventures of, Jonny Quest!
As all good things must come to the end, at last!

So, I do want to apologize for sorta steppin' out-of-bounds,
Okay, guys, we're done here, lights out, release the hounds!
(Stage goes dark, as sounds bark ...)

Ashes Flashes

Baggy green pledge..be mean one could allege 

New depths seen to dredge vent spleen sledge

Obscene lexicon ledge to get that slight edge


What do you know here we go first blow

Folks well blokes pokes jokes at Stokes

Campaigner entertainer a cocky complainer


Yawn..forlorn well worn scorn of Kiwi born

Ropey guff about Bazball stuff being dopey

Out of whack flak attack now back on track

Aussie stacks of hacks on a have a go retainer


Haven’t forgotten when Jonny went Rotten

Lost his cool in that whole Lord’s Baz brawl

When Ben’s mens’ gall did enthrall and appall


So one trite slight after another in a row

In a cruel crow from our oldest coldest foe

They bestow their woe of “average Joe”


Get snooty about the beauty of our Rooty

Get fruity saying our defender’s a pretender

Won’t ever get one booty ton while on Oz duty

Just what you’d predict from a convict offender


You wait mate..till your guest & great contender for 

Crest of Test best goes on a big spender bender

Let Me Out

Johnny played video games till his mouth was dry
He never glimpsed at the midday sun
Or turned his head to see the star lit sky
He would have seen a world for the taking
Just a couple steps outside
But he never played outside

He played every sport on a gaming console 
Every sport he never tried 
Maybe he saw the shots he could have scored 
Through his dilated eyes
Through his bloodshot, tired eyes

His parents were as wealthy as could be
But life was spinning and they were dizzy
Maybe him and his father would have thrown a football
But life was just too busy
The law firm was just too busy

On parent teacher day at school
There was a limousine waiting after the bell
With a chauffeur to inquire 
Whether Jonny was doing well
But he wasn't doing well

They found out about those b's and c's 
So they tried to give him hell
Driving straight into the heights, straight into the ghetto
So he would know what could happen if he did not excell 

But when he stuck his head out the window
He didn't mind the pungent smell
He saw kids his own age kicking a makeshift soccer ball
And that air conditioned lexus 
Felt like a prison cell

Premium Member Fantastic Four

Marvel's Fantastic Four: Mr. Fantastic, The Invisible Woman,
The Human Torch and The Thing.

The best memory of the Fantastic Four cartoon characters
that can be best realized, of good measure, was their
live production. Unfortunately, not one episode
is resurrection-able of their cartoon version.  

However, that filmed production wherein human characters
portrayed their cartoon counterparts as singularly 
different. Granted that there'd be others that
were produced on the silver screen
whereto calls into question
my 'good measure'
ergo, google
ID it to be
a 2005
film.

First off, ...

The Invisible Woman was visibly
fetching and was indebted to
Mr. Fantastic's character,
yet not by definition.

The Thing's character was quick to temper
and getting stoned whenever ...

The Human Torch,
combust.

Albeit, Mr. Fantastic's human counterpart was
misleading as his appearance rendered him
to be fantastic-ally half his portrayed age
and that protege veneer was studious.

The contrast between Mr. Fantastic's cartoon character,
stems from Dr. Ben of The Jonny Quest Adventures
who shares that '60s science-like qualities
whereto Mr. Fantastic bears a streak
of gray hair--defining age factor.

Furthermore, the content of that movie is fleeting other than 
the fact that The Human Torch is excessively
--cold.

Sadly, the complete genre of cartoon episodes no longer
occupies my memory banks--blank. Whether they'd
be televised or store-shelved, it'll also include my
children's.  Most characters are more noticed
than the show/comic/toy they delivered.

Noting their identifiable names, Popeye versus the
boys' Pac-Man and the girls' Barbie, and beyond
that ... nothing, 

"C'est la vie, mon ami/amie."

"That's life, my friend."--> Masculine/Feminine: French translated

Premium Member Holy Mess

The tip of the fur tree sticks out like a sore candle

Barely visible an angel drowns in a pileup of presents 

Fortunately wrappers and cards are bio-degradable

Each allocated their circumspect place for recycling

Ribbons find rest in a manger on top of Baby Jesus

Who awaits resurrection just breathing under the load


Season’s decorations sum up the festival of love

Finely crafted dollar signs meet the cherishing eyes

Wooden ornaments of cross bows and skull bones

Defiled grave stones miniscule reminders of peace

Guns and roses entwining unmistakeable messages

Thorns are forever and tiny bullets shine like tinsel


Mesmerized the young family looks at their gifts

No plastic in sight because this is a sustainable feast

Chocolate Santas jingle silent nights on Kalashnikovs

Pinocchio attempts to rescue the meaning of kindness

Slides down the chimney on Rapunzel’s delicate hair 

Gets ditched in a trench of poppies bloody like wine


A veiled little figure begs for mercy at the Jolly Inn

Which looks like a shopping mall that hails indigestion

Jojos powered by solar eclipses arrest in full flight

But the children are happy as long as they get a drone

To spread holy prophesies in the name of liberation

From infidel contamination of pagans soldiering on


Jonny plays with the cardboard crates not quite prepared

For what might be in Pandora’s Box and Felix the cat licks

Tins of caviar and dolphin with no tuna caught in the net

Holly and Ivy are too small to digest mince pies and porkies

They shriek when Christmas crackers explode in their faces

Are too young to wonder what might have caused the charade

Premium Member Hanna-Barbera

Number one with cartoons were William Hanna and Joseph Barbera.
They started at Metro-Goldwyn-Mayer in Culver City, California.
These two were the co-creators of the famous Tom and Jerry.
Beginning in 1957 was some of their amazing history.
So many of their other creations attained immense popularity.
Who doesn't know Yogi Bear, Quick Draw Mc Graw, and Pixie and Dixie?
Nearly everyone remembers The Flintstones, Jetsons, and Jonny Quest.
Scooby Doo, The Wacky Races, and Fantastic Four, are among the rest.
Both men are gone now, but they are still considered the best.

Just Imagine

Imagine your self 
stuck in the situation
your husband a wife beater
three children no money

how do you escape 
how do you make a life 
for yourself your children
your future, you have a right

Too be safe
to be strong 
to be free
nobody has the right

to own you 
to attack you 
to hurt you
you have a right to freedom

lifeline could
talk to people 
find people 
that are willing 

to provide emergency accommodation
families investing could provide jobs
ten dollars per week fifty two thousand per year
investing year after year creating wealth

Employment provides the income
to feed your children
with money in your pocket
you can find a place to rent

from the foundation of your home
you can improve your education
beginning the climb 
to a better future.

Cousin Jonny has lost his job
his family depend on his income
but because his family 
invested in creating companies

He has other opportunities
available he has other avenues to walk.
you meet a man on the street 
angry hitting his car

you stop and spent 
five minutes listening
broken hearted he tells you
the factory he works at shut down

redundant now his car has died
leaving him stranded and angry
sometimes anger is an expression
of frustration, a different form of tears

Because your family invested 
you can give him a job
his car towed to a garage can be fixed
and with money he can pay the bill 

people don't need charity
they need a future 
even the job of a cleaner
provides to money to improve your education

Success comes on the back of hard work and effort
to climb above the problems of poverty
to climb above the streets of homelessness
does not require charity

the road to better futures, comes with employment
granted if you have a drug or alcohol problem
perhaps you can't hold down a job
some problems you have to fix yourself

the first problem you have to beat
is your addiction but remember, what you do in life 
is also the behaviour, you teach your children,
the success of your life, depends on your decisions.
