To an unmet friend:
You see the mortal world
and for you man is machine,
little more than a device
for the vagaries of evolution.
Faith is illusion, hope lacks
weight-- and love? Can love
be other than mere sex,
nature's sole mandate?
And your science now tells
you: what can I ever know?
All is quantum topsy-turvy,
mother nature being part
whore, part illusionist....
Your thinking breaks all
down to little pieces,
and nothing matters
as matter is all while
science the only god
left for us to worship.
And we are nothing,
not even dreams
anymore, just bits
and pieces to be
examined, classified,
and then ignored--
for science is all,
and faith but a
refuge for fools.
You are honest,
I know-- you see
yourself as just
another machine,
destined for decay.
then destruction--
your sentience but
a cruel joke told
yet again-- and
no one laughs.
You and I,
we breathe,
we think,
we live, but
you would stop
at death while
I begin there....
I sing to the Eternal:
quell not my songs
as they rise above
the sad despair born
of your vacant world
and follow myriad stars
streaming their wondrous
light in the vast dead-cold
Universe....
I sing to Eternity,
I sing to my Soul.
[poet's note: Under my pen name, Nolo Segundo, I used this as both the title and the opening poem in my first book, 'The Enormity of Existence' because I think of this poem as coming out of something I experienced in 1971 as a 24 year old when I almost drowned in the Winooski River in Vermont. I was like that 'unmet friend' before I went into that river: certain of my nihilism, believing only matter was real--no God, no soul, no meaning to life. For 1/2 a century I've had more questions than answers, but I do know that what we perceive as 'reality'--with our limited senses and limited intellects-- is not 'Reality'....]
The deep plot of their craft,
the subtle tyranny in flowery cloak
Greek gift from white house “Doctor”
hoped to be a Hero,
and as the Parthian becomes a Nero by a mandate,
so soon t would be a Zero.
sickly old men in power,
compelling all as slaves,
decrees devoid of wisdom,
quacks science as solutions,
the suggestions of moguls,
the media and Presidents,
corona virus their invention
One Fauchi their spokesman,
WHO their propagandist,
preventing clean oxygen with a mask,
Isolation like a monk,
experimental vaccines their cure,
Our choice ignored,
We should ignore the casualties from the experiment,
Compromise our immune system with a Jab,
despite, the “Bell's Palsy”,
The “Myocarditis”,
the “blood clot”, the “guillain-barre Syndrome”
or whatever the effect in the long run,
Just take the Jabs or Loose your Job,
draconian rules like socialists,
intensified folly of Beijing's bio- terrorism.
Kill me Dictator,
I am not your guinea pig
Inhabitants are real
Facing great threats
Weighing on mother earth's future
Its effects and consequences
Even better halt it
Consume more, always more
The detriment of nature
Destroyed as an easy option
The soil is poisoned
Lands are sliding
Rain forests are reduced
Drastic effects for dims
Contagion of air
Exhaust fumes from arrogant holes
The burning of fossil fuels sings along
Harmful and deadly acid rain
Radiation spills and drills
Nuclear accidents such sudden
The air flares corpses
Photochemical smog dances
Water droplets
They mandate tears
Say sad to aerosols
Beloved refrigerants
Sincere solvents
And majesty burning fossil fuel
Why?
Must money make man mad?
Money makes man mad
Meanwhile, man made money
Must millions make man mad?
Massive money many mention
Mighty materials, man’s main mandate
Making many mentally magnetic
Mean money might mar man
Con-men crave catching cash consistently
Committing crimes continuously
Consequently, they’re caught, captured, killed
While we wonder where we’re
We want wealth which withers
When we wouldn’t wake
We wouldn’t work without weighing ways
When we weigh madness with mildness
We would work with wisdom
When we work wisely,
We would win

Remember, God is watching you“
So stop spreading the lies.”
“And they want to throw God’s
wonderful breathing system out the door,”
“You’re all turning your backs on it.
Can you prove that it’s good for people
to breathe carbon dioxide over
and over and over again?
God made it so that we would breathe
in fresh oxygen, to go to our body,
to every cell in the body.
It has to have that to make energy.
When you wear a mask,
the nose is cut off,
the mouth is cut off.”
“And you’re breathing carbon dioxide
over and over and over again.
You’re not getting the fresh oxygen t
hat God intended.
You’re sending carbon dioxide
to every cell in the body,
polluting it.
Especially the brain…”
“I can’t understand
why you would all decide something
“I can’t understand
why you would all decide something
like this
and want to hurt the people.
You’re going to harm
the health of all of the people.
The virus is going to keep on going
because people’s bodies are being polluted
and the virus is attracted to polluted bodies.
You’re going against God’s
wonderful gift he gave us.”
“Every single one of you has a smirk
behind that little mask,
but every single one of you
are going to get punished by God.”
“What I came to say is
We the People
will work day and night
to clean every single seat
if need be,”
“We will get together
and do a citizen’s arrest
on every single human being t
hat goes against the freedom
of choice, OK?
You cannot mandate…
knowing that the mask is killing people..
. We the People are waking up
and we know what a citizen’s arrest is.
Because citizen’s arrests
are already happening
and every single one of you
that’s obeying the devil’s la
are going to be arrested.
And you are going to be arrested
for crimes against humanity.”
“Every single one of you
has a smirk behind that little mask,
but every single one of you are going
to get punished by God.
You cannot escape God.
You cannot escape God.
I’m going to say that again.’
You cannot escape God.”
With physical body, formed out of dust by supreme might
I'm alive; yet I confess personal frailty, needing Creator’s assistance
Thankful am I for His hand, ready to reach-out, never from a distance
To help me offer kindness while courageously treading under His light.
Admitting fear of seemingly bleak future
My faith hope leans on the Saviour’s assurance of bliss
Being the good Shepherd Who leads toward peace-abyss
Against cravings offered by vain carnality and feral human nature.
Blest with stature as God’s creation of divine worth
My soul trusts the Almighty along His sovereignty
Believing Him as the Source of eternal life’s bounty
Thus, I rely on His grace midst my obvious dearth.
Now, with courage* to win over lust of selfish will
I trust my Maker to direct steps for loving deed
While praying for functionality over philosophical creed
Since ready am I, His vessel for spiritual mandate to fulfill.
*Joshua 1:9 Have not I commanded thee? Be strong and of a good courage; be not afraid, neither be thou dismayed: for the LORD thy God is with thee whithersoever thou goest.

Law began by living,
locomotion meeting the rails of electric rainfall,
Consequence coursing through interconnected crossbeams
making all form fruit of the first & final recipe,
one great statute spawned from the storm
billowing from Divinity's genius,
everything in the Universe existing to produce,
get busy, get bounce'n, grow wild & now,
receive with wisdom and take as thieves humbled by offering,
the original impulse from a manic God
pregnant from androgonous purpose,
a trillion movements in a single start, a fanatic for feral smarts,
stagnation anethema to the spectacular suspense of survival,
Natural Rights were for me
the moment my blood became mine, became a wet warlord
exerting presence in the wide open wrestle of Universe,
God the shadow & weight of my spark,
the window & scene of my good gumption, of my dusty dream,
self defense a mandate from the magistrate of my heritage,
freedom of expression an obligation humming from ancestors'
anniverseries applauded along the Appain Way headed
not towards Rome but forward to a higher home of honor,
a Law unto myself I am,
eating from the spines of lions,
sleeping atop pyramids built by a billion bones unbroken by battle,
afternoons auction affection for my amusement with discount
and the nights nudge nightmares asunder
with the release of red lightning
spelling the name of Creation in raw neon, breathtaking breakdown,
a script scribbled by a hand having the blueprint of dirt in it's fingernails,
I appeal to Adam, attest in favor of aggression's willpower,
to Eve I beseech, testify to the severity & sanction of self confidence,
let us smash all false law that stands as a wall to our fulfillment,
smack the eggshell of Man's authoritarian angst,
waking into a world of wakeful worries, confined by Common Law, U.C.C.,
walking through waves ment to wreck the arrogant
with a constitution inked by nerves electrified
by entertaining the urgency of a rampaging God,
thought of the great expanse thumping thoroughly through
the expeditions my expectations encounter,
black static undulating around the blue bulb of my brain,
sparks of ultimate consciousness mothering marks of miracles
in the becoming of birthright,
