Long Materialist Poems

Keep Me Good Company…

TODAY MY MATE SAVES MY DAY... 
From spiraling into unconstructive decay, 
Plugging my volcano of negative gossip & hearsay, 
Planting productive advice to direct my way,
Removes pokey cacti from under my feet,...

he parlayed a condom full of nouns
in bold thrusts of the quill
for the para structuralist cadres
many of them freeway orphans
who won't even read a stoplight
on the other hand
there's a lot of other hand
upon hearing the...

The market rules all
We are nothing but products 
The rights to us
Have long been sold

Bow down and worship 
The all mighty market 

Everything we do
Everything we see
Everything we are 
Nothing but our personal brand

Nothing human...

From Pronia, by Rob Brezsny, p. 267

Neither God nor the gods are dead,
but they seem to be disappearing
because so few of us are capable of carrying on authentic relationships
[at least] with them anymore
[leaving us with...

Late last night, when the sky was bright
With the silver gleam of the moon and the starlight,
I sat and asked my Soul
Of what Sin am I old?

Sometimes the 
lines between
happiness and sorrow
love and hate 
are thin (barely visible
to the naked heart) – 

(a healthy heart 
needing more than

nor for...

Breaking out of its vessel and bleed,
Painted with the Red of Life,
The Yang breathing inside this Yin,
Is but the child born due to this Fire,
Even salvation is satanic, for it is...

Sometimes it’s obvious
And sometimes subtle
That no matter what good you try to do
The universe rewards you with the opposite.

It might be as simple as the duality we create
By such intentions;
A materialist mindset
That falls into a...

Gifted with a tender heart, so pious
Life turned it into an iron core, so capricious!
The Age may be Dark, as said in the Holy Books
Does that make it legitimate to ruin all nooks and crooks!

The materialist item creates anger
Is none other than ‘Money’, ogre.
If it is available with us meager
We become a source of hatemonger.
It can make us sit or stand with finger;
It can taste sweeter than sweet sugar;
If...

When angels come, they are only seen
by babies and very young children, soon
to be forgotten. And sometimes those who
are good at heart will encounter angels
who look so human, yet....

When angels sing, their choirs sing
with choirs...

Softly the breeze flows through scented meadows
gentle sounds of water from the rivers
and haunting notes of music crescendos
in the distant background from the speakers

A cascading shower of climbing roses
she waits for her lover impatiently

Ricardo Eliecer Neftalí Reyes Basoalto

Motherless at two weeks of age, sought her.
Within his heart and mind, imagined her.
Age ten, before life had hardly begun, 
He, whose talents his family did shun, 
Loved her, felt her....

No loyalty
No royalty
No unconditional love
No clean white dove
Life is full of shocks, locks
Rocks, blocks, mocks and flocks
The flowers are faded
But the diamond is illuminated
Go crazy by deciphering what I mean
Oh! No in Heaven! It’s no...
