Premium Member Bottoms Uprising
Nothing grows naturally
or resiliently,
and certainly not perfectly,
from the top down
or from the outside in

Including pyramids
and sustainable nutrition economies
and healthy
organic
democratic co-passion systems.

Some win/lose things
that do grow virally
from outside in
and/or over-powering
top down:

autocracy
cancer
kleptocracy
pyramid schemes
negative pathology
eco-political colonies
capital expansionism
invasive species

The Hunt
From hunting comes 
From hunting drums
From hunting hums
All bright stars
Near and far
In New York or Trafalgar 
Those stars in skyscrapers
Those dazzling gold vapours
The government shapers
The controller of all papers
All go on hunting 
And keep counting
And...

Our Worship Dilema
We went to Worship Christ this morning,
and I shall not besmirch
But I felt like a Catholic,

To explain the prior stanza,

Luftmenschen Continuum
by Michaelw1two

 Thinking’s challenge is to weigh,
 all of one’s life substance;
 quandary thus, illogical fuss,
 which blinds the mind's acutance;
 adscititiously into thoughts bleed,
 vitiated indurate boastance;
 corrumpable sequella fortuity,
 each thought, is truth’s...

Premium Member Political Incorrectness
The politically correct nonsense of today is so very absurd!
The language of my native land has become so terribly blurred,
By those who devote themselves to concocting such inane idiom.
Such prattle is as puzzling to me...

Premium Member Life Is What You Make It
Birth of an infant, a mom's victorious pain
From monosyllables to phrases to sentences
Speech takes the place of shouts and cries
Actions replaces the moans; coos and tries

From crawls to strollers, sturdy legs stood up
From dolls to...

Pray For The Mistletoe
or
In My Church? Get “Outta” Here
By: Tom Wright
9/22/99

Some laity, crowd Churches,
affixing themselves to pews as Mistletoe to a tree.
Always there, but barely clinging to Spiritual life.
If fruit is borne, it is, as...

Lost To Own
Bravado and gaiety,
Marked the laity,
They were intoxicated,
From the problem they had been extricated,
There was a man,
Who was the swan,
Among celebrating also swams,
He gesticulated victorious,
And puffed and smelled the air,
His chest was pulled out,
As he marshaled...

Society In Reverse
Timidity pronounced them timorous,
Stout hearted glanced askance on their lot,
Scare of fear chagrined their visage,
Gladiators belittled their blushes,
As they sunk deeper into quagmire of luxuries,
They became laughing stock of laboring laity,
They proclaimed theirs was high...

I Need No Other Heaven
A pyramid of stones and a beam of steel
Can't stand in my way,
I will find a route.

Guns, rigid laws and distance,
Can't interrupt my search for you,
I will press harder.

I've been drilled on how to combat...

Eight hundred soldiers on board with whips
Traveled and vanquished Aksumites of good gesture

When weary thoughts were left behind to pile.

Why So Straight, My Friend
A straight line, laity,
And crooked one quite weighty,
In topsy-turvy
A poetic metre’s world,
Friend, why be such a straight bird?  

And why so long winding 

Where a crooked line softness shows,
One straight, harshness and stress,
In world...
