Premium Member Virtual Truths

Without doubt true,
     and yet too redundantly lectured,
          especially to our young of body and mind,
the virtual world is not reality.

And yet,
Elders seldom hear
when youngsters pout back
what must equally be true,
Earth's reality is no longer devoid
of virtual communicating worlds
without so many competitive walls
to hinder cooperative re-education
about mutual relationships
between polynomial information trends
and polypathic energy economies
and polyphonic co-relational politics,
all networks for off-line Earth's reality
and on-line virtual ego/eco-centering systems.

The story of information systemic regeneration
reweaves Earth's creation story of Gaian Cooperative Hypotheses
knowing we are already a cooperatively intended democracy
living in diverse locations,
identifiable 4D geometrically revolving spacetime locations
emerging from advents of fertile prehistoric winters
producing reborn ecopolitical springs,
diastatically mature summers of healthy wealth revolutions,
harvesting AutumnElders of poly-nutritional wisdom,
restored in understories
of Yin's first and last winter blanket;
egocentering processors
re-aligning with eco-centered Earth's fractal-regenerate realities,
virtual on-line
as 4D cooperative off-line.

Without doubt also true,
     and yet too redundantly gamed and networked,
          especially by our young of bodyminds
               with bilaterally thinking spirits,
Earth's reality includes on-line virtual cooperatives
and off-line ecological Tipping Points,
climate change
as both potentiality 
of cooperative health
and WinLose reality 
for competing flesh and blood pathologies.

Truths,
1 is always positive or negative in Earth's metric LeftBrain languages,
just as timeless 0s are both/and equivalent notnot double-bound with 1
co-binary RightBrain balance,
virtual-digital and historic-analogical waves
between past and future, 
     tipping toward co-present.


Empty Speeches

Empty Speeches 
©2012 C. Brent Cloyd

Gone are the columns, gone is the crowd
Just twenty thousand, shouting loud
Gone is the hope, debt was the change
Stale words remain, empty and strange

The air is filled with Biden baloney
He pleads the case for a liberal crony
Praises a job well done, but not complete
In anger cajoles voters to not unseat

Introduced with great pomp and circumstance
We hear of one who will give us a chance
Then strutting to the stage with toothy grin
He tells us about Republican sin

“It’s not my fault the economy is bad
But if not for me, it would be real sad”
Nothing new, we’ve heard this story before
We can get the job done, but I need four more

Lectured us about what is right and fair
Let the rich pay more, they can afford to share
Didn’t hear a word about the nation's debt
But the people are asking you can bet

“I need your vote, my contract please renew”
But I ask why, you’ve told us nothing new
Mr. President, wave goodbye, run the race
But I’m voting for another in your place

Premium Member Seed Money

All nine feet of green, moving through the reeds
Leaving around town strange packets of seeds
With a note, asking a curious deed
To till at night only, with utmost speed
Sunburn strips the magic, leaving just weeds

My Pa lectured it would never succeed
But having a number of mouths to feed
Under the moon, I planted what we'd need
For a crop to nourish, flower and breed

Townsfolk thought me foolish, would scoff and plead,
'Recover your senses; they're worthless beads!'
Yet they leapt by cresting heights to exceed
The sky's wide reach, blossoming a stampede
Of gold coins, rubies, and diamonds - indeed!

Premium Member Professor Z Ruff Cat Studier

I have a relative who is a famous professor working at Mouse T. University 
He is treated by all of the clan as an expert in cats, and he is a celebrity

It is rather amazing that a small mouse professor is an expert on cats
He secretly lived among them for twenty years down in Bat Flats

By day he acted like a cat.  Wore a pair of truly plausible faux cat ears
By night, he wrote up cat habits to save mice from their feline fears. 

Named professor by university after he completed seven insightful books
They were hilarious, and made cats seem like the world’s biggest schnooks 

He lectured on cats all day at his job, and was paid a ridiculous amount. 
The mice took meticulous notes, and made every moment of his class count.

Cats are slightly blind to the left, so always run that direction.
If you bite them on the neck, you can give them an infection.

Cats are not fond of Vicks Vapor Rub, so if you put it in their eye,
They cannot catch you today, you can skate right past, bye and bye.

Cats are easily fooled, so if you wear cat ears they won’t know…
That you are a mouse at all, they are dumb from head to toe.

He has been on the circuit, interviewed on every channel of the news.
Even the faux channel, if you happen to share educated views.

There is something that my relatives know about him -a little tidbit for fun
Professor Z. Ruff never lived among the cats and has actually never met one.

Premium Member Under the Christmas Tree

The Grinch lies exhausted at the North Pole;
tired of chasing drunk reindeer from his still.
And he's sure to be lectured by Santa;
as if it's his fault, they lick up the spill.

He thinks Santa should ride a pickup truck;
who uses reindeer and a sleigh these days?
And his cookbook, titled "How To Serve Deer,"
well, that could be taken in many ways.

It's boring acting traditionally;
a little mischief adds spice to his pluck.
But elves don't appreciate his genius,
like greasing Santa, so he won't get stuck.

Today, youngsters are much more food-conscious;
spinach and beef jerky are nutritious.
And therefore, why all the hullabaloo;
so what if candy is more delicious?

Santa, you see how it's not all his fault;
for he's being the best Grinch he can be.
And he wonders if, maybe this year, you'd
leave him a gift under the Christmas tree.

In a mist of miss-enngeneous-ness a mootness just appeared.? It was a manufactured moot type though.' In that year of twenty twenty..At a time when those with billions and much choice decided others could not have any.? Or voice.. When

Class

I’m too old to learn through play.

If only I’d tried to make friends as a kid.

Which I thought was a waste of time.

Now I am in this class.

Drilling it into my head.

Being lectured…

When it could have been so easy.

When it could have been so fun.

Now I am forced to explore that devastation.

That I denied when I was first diagnosed.

In this class I thought I was too good for. 

Feeling haunted trying to imagine the kindness I could have learned to share. 

The kindness I could have learned to see in others. 

Like passing a ball back and forth.

Like learning to share for the first time.

But it’s too late to play those silly games…

Now I’m staring out the window in this boring class.

Wishing I could go back to an easier time.

A Lady In Red

The lady in red

Ah, Cristiane, so tall an elegant you are
Your dress richly red cost more than a pensioner’s yearly pay
Perfect your make-up; did you need help?

Ah, Cristine, you are so stern, a tanned gym mistress
wants us to pay our taxes on time, be modest in our pay demand
You are a Goddess and therefore pay no taxes

Ah, Cristine, I saw you once at Gar Du Nord in Paris, boarding a train
tall you were, among grey-suited men, deeply tanned your face
Your silk scarf is so colourful; who is your hairdresser?

Ah, Cristine, severely you lectured the Greeks squandering money
Demanding they pay promptly and save on social expenses.
The day you went for a holiday in the Bahamas.

Premium Member Pouring Rain

You have suffered through the storms
You've widen and waddling in the rain
 your hats off and your head wet and the spirits also it is in the shame
The short of being lectured and passions got you insane
For all the things that's going on and on
Or is it wrong yes it's wrong it's so wrong
 all of this is found in the pouring rain
I don't even know if I can recall my own name
 and why am I ashamed why am I saying this is so vain
I am still so live it that I'm standing in this rain in the pain
But you rise above it keep yourself strong
Don't worry about it place it in God's arms
 and He will carry you through yes He'll bring you through
Cuz you learned the Flight of the raging Storm and the pouring rain
Those my past present and future sins
God will keep covering you over and over and over again
He will forever cover you in
The pouring rain

Aye Miss the Trials and Tribulations of Expectant Fatherhood

no emotionally ecstatic experience compares 
   to the seminal instance 
   whence spermatozoa 
   (from profuse ejaculation) beget

the miraculous propensity 
   to procreate despite the steep odds 
   female fertility fosters potential impregnation 
   fusing the hereditary debt

of feral, fiery, fomenting friskiness 
   fueling fancy free footloose fornication 
   prior to seminal fertilization union 
   sans ova doth induce fret 
full ness in tandem with 

   diametrically opposed exultant sensations 
   (biologically, embryonically, microscopically, 
   et cetera) seismic shocks inject  
when deliberate intent arises to disregard 

   applying prophylactics choice 
   plying reproductive roulette let
which analogous fruitful uterine plain 
   bastes the "cooking" egg omelette  

which impregnation upends cessation of "self" 
   first and foremost asper desire to breed
wrenching role of "me" as operative 
   of webbed world de jure upon 
   consummating that most miraculous deed 

necessitating yet for the fecund female relief 
   from messy menstrual cycle 
   she becomes temporarily freed
that perhaps a novitiate (or even a gal practiced 
   in the euphoric family, she instinctually 
   abides prenatal signals that heed

without feeling debased, harangued, lectured 
   pedagogical, polemical, puritanical, et cetera blast
assessing copulation enjoyed gloriously, 
   ineluctably, kinesthetically 
   lectured by elder, especially cast

in thee reel life drama, that nine months 
   til offspring utters initial whimper 
   elapses exceptionally fast
emitting a radiant golden halo wishing 

   to bottle confluence of hormonal secretions last 
ideally fully awake to the birthing process, 
   when juiced the first stage of maternity past
cuz every moment thee inconsolably 

   (perhaps colicky infant) 
   gets first dibs to suckle, 
   which round the clock nursing 
   consumes moments many vast.
