Long Misbegotten Poems

Our UU ecofeminist minister

Prelude: A BRIDE SET FREE

How romantic, the fall, so far above the pleading waves.

Overzealousness and assiduousness...

now propels yours truly towards restitution
courtesy sophisticated mountebank,
whose criminal mind
filched mine banknotes

a sheep in wolf's clothing
said culprit I...

 transfixed by the sadness of poverty

What am I, a product of a mad man's obsession to play God?
A cross breed’s creature between medicine and science?
For the whole of my parts taken from convicts, and social rejects,
Sown together by skillful hands...

How soon we forget, Syria, Yemen, and Afghanistan
Over 25 million Chinese in their new lock down plan

All eyes on Ukraine until that too becomes forgotten
And to many children of the world born misbegotten

THE DEVIL'S WIND-CHIMES

Beneath the dark abyss, in the realm beyond
Hell's blackened gates, a haunting music is played,
It is a sounding's evil of supernatural rhythm, with an
Eerie quality of the ethereal, unleashed unto the underworld,
A tormentor's...

My eyes have not grown too weak or dim
to ignore what they've long been seeing
pretenders who wear a mask of disguise

What a misbegotten soul am I, to be lost upon isolation’s paradise,
Marooned on desolation’s tropical island of plenty, except for
Human championship, humanities driftwood a captured cast
Away, from civilization’s socialization, thus I’m alone survivor
Of life’s shipwreck!
Collisions...

in common meta-euphoric relationship?

Dignity
Destiny
Dignified Destiny
PreDestined Dignity

Humanity
Integrity
Humane Integrity
Integral Humanity

Spirituality
Ego-Elasticity

To the rock rock bottom of our nonexistent souls.
Madder than the maddest hatter,
Hear us bellow, bray, and bleat;
And we prattle pitter-patter
In our jabberwocky chatter
To a bumbulating beat.
See us zim zam zoom
