Science can’t save you, neither can religion,
at least Popper and Niebuhr, philosophers and poets,
are entertainers, which is why actors and athletes
are paid so much. Thanks for the summaries.

I shan't try and be witty an engage in the norm

Bombarded by myriads of daily data without cease,
I suggest a forthright discourse on this topic,
carousel of trend and sound adherence  merely looming?
some unwitting sentiment  an aspirational diction,
reverberation or innuendo pending aftermath augur,

Youthful temptress, aging oracle,
Nymph-like debacle, Gorgon spectacle,
Retreat from retribution’s precipice,
And a transient victory wrought by avarice,
To listen to a parable
Devoid of the empirical.

Several centuries ago in the land of the Saracen,
You were born to a...

moon …

beams that burn -
that turn my surgings to slag
my teeth to serrations,
hungering …
can those silly sentients not see the
verity in my veneration, you?
do they truly think it’s only art, 
only … verse?
that my blood...

Seconds to go.
I am locked away, set aside.
Throat opens, body twists.
Face distorts, voice roughens.

The tangle man wakes up.
He is twelve, seventy, eighty.
Sick and lame. 
Trembling and tight.

Blank eyes peruse him.
There will be tears, mania and...

Their numbers drawn, the backwards lottery
Almost none were aware they were playing

Assaulted by the poisons that save them 
Hairless children with steroid-swollen cheeks
Feared stigmata of chemotherapy
Daily valiance, heroism unsought

Magic bullets are a relative thing
Modern wonder...

I don’t really understand
my heart.
Never have
nor could  I try,
even from the start.

For chooses it,
it is  never I,
not one  from another

now it is  you
 I sadly sigh.

Why?
 To question again?

For years I have wasted,
Precious time spent with you,
And it is time I faced it,
You are mean-hearted and cruel,

You ravage the inspired souls,
Who fall for your covert snares,
And while the many pay their tolls,
You parade...

Sister, I love you,
Simply because I do
There is no one better
No one like you
You have been my role model
The one I will always follow
The strongest one I know
The only one who shows 
All the compassion
All...

THE FOOL AND THE CHILD 

To be absorbed by it is losing your mind,
 no longer aware of, space, shape, or time.
To have it surround you is being untied,
 no longer afraid to let go...

Azure blue skies weep in rent glacial torrents,
iridescent earth sun trap poised  to garner sympathy,

Kabul Has Fallen

Kabul has fallen
The news screams 
Kabul has fallen
In less than two weeks

The intel officers
Got it so wrong
Everyone said
That Kabul would not fall
That the center would hold

Yet Kabul fell
Faster than anyone thought 
It would

White Wings

Perceived upon a sunny day, a flutter by sailing the still 
Dancing a sequence with paper wings seeking to alight
And flit a nomadic path through warmth and perfect haze 
Fragile life that traverses the...

To lazy to think we sit our lives and stare,
Using our brains seems to much to bare.
The signals, the signs are all shoved aside
To make way for our illusions, to make way for our pride.
