One more senseless mass homicide
twas the sole arbitrary aim
as a former student nonchalantly
sauntered empty hallways
seconds preceding blame
brazenly intent to maximize total killed
matter of factly telling police
(his incomprehensible)
(ill) logic he did explain
when cornered, he willingly,
unflinchingly, reticently admitted guilt
Nikolas Cruz rocketed
to instantaneous infamous fame
pulling a fire alarm
("FAKE") emergency,
then going leisurely ambling
along his killing spree
total of seventeen slain (comprising 3 faculty
and 14 students)
mercilessly gunned down
as if they were wild game
when handcuffed, an innocuous
19 year old did readily admit
emptying one firearm after another
at a fairly rapid clip
then at some predestined
or spurious moment didst dip
and dive out amidst
the chaotic madding crowd
before reality flopped then did flip
as lower teeth he nervously bit upper lip
made feeble getaway
at a nearby eatery casually flirted
with cashier and made no move to flit
upon his seizure as cornered prey
subsequently large tract
massively cordoned off
strong arm of the law
slightly halting in speech
detailed his gambit
deliberately staking
a stance to maximize hit
and once again afflicted parents lit
up with rancor and rage pit
toughly battling sorrow
which will not quit
til death doth bring peaceful rest
sans, those grieving family visit.
I was reading Lakoff's story
of what he learned at Berkeley
about international relations,
when I found my RightBrain offering further nuance;
not to deny what is here,
but to add what is also here,
but not explicitly stated,
about regenerative political health
and economic safety.
"The 'rational' approach to foreign policy was governed by a set of conceptual metaphors,
taken as simple common sense,
as [Both-And, not Either-Or] metaphors often are.
As a special case of An Institution
is a Person, [personification]
there was A Nation is a [monotheistic, monopolistic, monocultural] Person."
"In addition,
a common metaphor for [EitherPositive-OrNegative, 0-sum] rationality is used,
namely,
Rationality is the Maximization of Self [v Other]-Interest (or 'utility' [and 'integrity']),
which entails that it is 'irrational' [and unhealthy and unsafe] to act against one's self-interest[s].
These two metaphors are then combined to yield:
A [Healthy, Happy, Secure] Nation is a Rational [Either-Or, not Both-And] Actor."
"...we get as an entailment
the central thesis of the rational actor model
in international [interfamilial, intertribal, interspecies, inter-religious] relations:
Every [healthy] nation
acts rationally
to maximize its military [Yang] strength,
economic health,
and [Self v Other] political influence."
"Rationality,
on this conception,
is taken as
[Self v Other, 0-sum competitively] universal
and occurring at the level
of the [monotheistic-monocultural, monopolistic] state."
I feel so eviscerated.
Get over it.
Both-And co-empathic;
not either-or pathological.
You've still got all your caste-preserving potential
just more Both +1Self And -(-0)Other co-aligned.
Yes ma'am!
Who got out of bed on the wrong side today?
Don't even try it.
I'm going back to my "Political Mind" without you.
Doubtful.
And, if possible, dangerous.
You really aren't going to let me have the last word today are you?
I thought I was your last wordless wonder,
your wandering everything.

Respecting elders - meaningful, polite phrase
Spent too much time living in a daze
Now I'm learning to maximize my days
Stifle your opinions, let me have my say
My favorite dessert - special treat for today
Let me ahead in line, won't mean much anyway
A seat with a view, let me enjoy my stay
Breaking a hundred seems to be a craze
What does the end look like through the haze?
Continued care senior living - another life phase
Longevity issues, probing questions it does raise
I've come a long way
Tried my best not to stray
Let me have this day
Maybe my last, it's okay
This day, my day

Tatiana Needed Support To Come Out
Lil' Tatiana her stomach like butterflies,
Could not speak in public, had doctor analyze,
Prescribed taking lessons and try to improvise,
Instead, the butterflies started to colonize.
Insecticides were used by helping euthanize,
It did the task but still, she could not vocalize,
Her parents told her story so to advertize,
Many had read it and started to empathize.
Experts arrived and the masses did galvanize,
For now, they concentrate just keeping localize,
They trust that this way it will help to minimize,
And help her focus, what is best to maximize.
People she knew made her calm and help sensitize,
The experts aware there's a need to emphasize,
That her mental status best needs to stabilize,
And bring to bear her priors and visualize.
Raising her mettle, edginess will stabilize,
Obstacles aside will help her to verbalize,
The lower her fears fulfill and not traumatize,
So the need to practice and do more exercise.
She is set and on her ways, all will recognize,
Placed all her thoughts and energy to harmonize,
That her realm attractively has gone neutralize,
And she will be good to come out and stabilize.
Her folks were talked out of it to not publicize,
The audience did come out and desensitize,
The conditions and all have her epitomize,
Her Shakespearean reading, a soliloquize.

HMS; 28 lines x 12 syllables per = 336 syllables total
Delicately, I hold the soft smooth petals
Tracing each edge of the curve
Gently enough not to render any harm
Beckoning is the silky feel of inches swell
Can't help to sweat
Can't stop to tremble
I maximize the wonderful experience
Shattering defense with strong willed cause
Panting and blowing
Breath stopping with each alternate pause
Petals bloom in bright bloody red
Rockets of joy from a travel hours of thorns
The one pistil blossomed with life
Made all expectators clap and yell
The stamen soothed the petals
Tenderly lovingly and caressingly

Are we building or just chilling
Are we relaxing or trying to maximize
I'm trying to figure out this feeling .....that I'm feeling
Is it real or we just pretending
With so many thoughts, I have knots in my stomach
Are you being real with me
or I'm just sumthin you've been wanting.
Thing about this Web
it'll have you in many places at once
DC Mississippi GA or even Charleston
OH I get the attention; its alluring you see
it's nice when people take notice
liking comments see
but at what point does it all stop
I guess it really doesn't , if you like it a lot
what's the harm in the
I like no love it back
especially if she looks yummy in that dress
No harm my status still says single though
cause I'm single right
don't know which way I want to go
haven't found anyone
who would make me want to change it
can't change it
have to see if this other one is still interested
a smile a video here or there
throw up something to see if she cares maybe
she'll take notice Right ....she already has play my cards right and I can be her man
All the while I sit here patiently waiting for you to decide if a relationship we are slated
Who am I???
Form:
They bumble about, free of care, wants they don't share,
For that is the true assemblage of common life,
As we amble our way, busily, though with set aims,
Our goals are never the same, yet we bumble just the same,
From here to there, seen from above, our jive hive,
Yet from below, we all know, the way to the top, by the scent,
The sweetness lies in the ascent, the laud of sweet success,
We still rumble and tumble bearing doubts about our goals,
Of our climb, at some level, did we buzz instead of, hum,
Is there a question of our ardor, have our odor turn to, stench,
Our ascent turned to descent, have we stagnated the hive,
Have we jeopardized our bumble and stumble, the top flop,
Not met half-way, we fly the course, adverse to wings,
We hover our chores diligently, making sure of our cares,
Minimize defects, maximize decency, float to our ends,
Deliveries genteel promises, sailing aloof though conscious,
Extenuate to an agreeable level, adjudicate our charges,
Stay within our averages, mindful of extremes, be balanced,
Thorough channeled laden holed existence your hive realized,
Buzz to others, sniffing scents, bumbled joy, deny not yourself.

I am alive enjoying the breath
endowed by the self-existent “I AM”
fully persuaded to maximize
existence-vitality yon survival-difficulty
while sharing radiance of divine goodness.
I am a new creation
bearing the image of the Lord
accepting flaws with yielded heart
toward transformation-glow
while striving to do best with kindness-zeal
I am a vessel molded by virtues
gradually, yet struggling against pride’s grip
as self-righteousness lurks
yet submission to the Almighty braces my heart
while faith continues to cleave to grace and mercy.
I am a privileged servant
indeed, verily blessed
to work in the ministerial realm
reaching-out, proclaiming Gospel
while ceasing not to seek first God’s kingdom.
I am a grateful child of the Father*
surely benefited with His love and care
guided by the Holy Ghost
with the good Shepherd’s truth
while my soul exalts Him in my obedience.
I am a hopeful believer
envisioning eternal victory
propelled to run life’s race with patience
against challenges, trials, despair
while fulfilling my entrusted role as a life-builder.
*Ephesians 1:3 Blessed be the God and Father of our Lord Jesus Christ, who hath blessed us with all spiritual blessings in heavenly places in Christ."

8th place, "YOUR CHOICE U" Poetry Writing Contest
Sponsored by Brian Strand; judged on 4/24/2025
I am a champion,
the thought and feel of it is real,the fact being indisputable and the reality pure,
with others,and in singular isolation victory over the misery of disrections is now,and future,
I am a champion because I have led myself and others to victories,
victories over the malvolent and lurid labors,
living,toiling,dreaming,and breathing within the parameters of a system foriegn
to my instincts, alien to this suture,
I am a champion along with others because I weep incredulity
at the untaught magnitude of a work ethic producing abject glories,
brought to my knees,my heart beats rife with pain,fear, & the mud of doubt,
brought to lunacy by the dispassion that consequence savors,
rising, and rising as emotions explode at the chance and moment for domination,
justification, to obliterate the obstacles,making room for stories,
awaking with dry pain in the eyes,nausea,dizziness,despair,
seeking simple reasons for motivation to go forth,
wishing quixotically for more sleep,
finishing the day feeling dumb,dull and brazen like a fenced horse
hungry for edification,rectification,seeing the great steppe with a risk too deep,
going on week after week with new sprains & strains on mind body & spirit,
always some mistake, cuts, bruises, burns & hyperextensions,
compulsively micromanaging,hyperanalysing, a manic finisher,
nothing will dissuade me from the thankless pursuits of daily perfections,
the anatagonists,the ones who sneer & discourage casually at the noble attempts
of the able champions trying to maximize efficiency,to excel,win,
raising that standard which the mediocre claim can't be improved,
I and others jeapordize our health,safety,sanity so to accomplish the impossible,
I receive no grand trophies,new contracts or publicity,
nobody takes my picture or delivers a prize,
there are no special tokens or passwords on the table,
we strive ferociously for the sake of victory,for the knowledge of limits,
this way setting greater goals & tests,
being testaments for others who climb,
do I want acclaim from Deity for my successes,distinction for my sacrafices, no,
I work hard for me and others to be sublime -
J.A.B.
