Premium Member It Is What It Is

Rodin’s thinker felt deeply misrepresented in his pose
he had been simply doing his business in privacy but
paparazzis had caught him seemingly sitting on a rock
nothing on his mind but having a pee after a night out
too much beer with his mates in the pub and all that
was on his mind was whether there were painkillers
in the vanity unit to soothe his nauseating hangover

twitter went mad and the tabloids fronted his image
raised him onto the dubious pedestal of iconic status
attested him with clarity of thought and contemplation
he had only been looking at the bathroom mirror and
counting tiles and toothpaste stains in the marble sink
did not mind so much that he was nude in portraits
they painted because the truth must be stark naked
and he was not one to falsify events and their cause

but taking his ablutions out of context made him
feel shame rather than reason for he was abused 
in nature’s call and his wife might object but he would
never again sit down on the loo when having a tinkle

Premium Member Stolen Blessings-

Broken promises, God kind erase them
People’s lying, cheating, promises stolen
Not being honest about their motives

Promises misspoken
Letters unopened
Sentences misrepresented
Stolen blessings

Where do these things come from?
From a fork-tongue
Where do those things of unjust spoken languages come from?
The Father of Lies, Satan

Awaken forgotten dreams
I can remember them
Why? Is it relevant, don’t even care no I don’t
Am I mistaken must be mistaken
I am not a casualty I’m an onslaught positive reverence reality

Broken promises, God kind erase them
People’s lying, cheating, promises stolen
Not being honest about their motives

Promises misspoken
Letters unopened
Sentences misrepresented
Stolen blessings

Premium Member Celebrating the Adventure of Advent

Celebrating the Adventure of Advent 

Universal elegy grieves and yet embraces shifts of paradigm
New beginnings consciousness initiates comprehends and thus proceeds from
Illusion’s delusion collusions misconceptions in the irritating
Vortex whirlpool immanent void of false containment

Enlightenment modern postmodern retro visionary futuristic aspirations
Resound in dialectical rebirth rejuvenation germinate constructive 
Sense meaning reflect serenity’s tentative confidence that the
Agony of climate change greed warfare ignorance destructive apathy
Liberates fusion confusion necessitates Aquarian communication of

Antagonism’s polar opposites contradictions complements

Cycles spheres of influence of grave repression gravitate
Revolve resolve with pushing pulling moons in metaphorical
Orbital mental psychological initiation shape incidences
Synchronicities collateral communal reason feeling responsibility

Transformation of the global madness inhumanity conjoins
Idealism and the darker side’s fallacies of fabrication

Conspiracy of muted spirit silence violation fade away transform to novel script

Communication courses discourses concur in co-operation
Obvious obscurity in the blip of human race’s evolution delimits 
Limitations iron cages hopes for new time place of reason beyond
Laissez-faire and hippie psychedelic stream of consciousness afar from
Anarchy self-righteous slavery rebellion mindlessness

Big oppressive bangs big brother’s obliterating over-information with
Onslaught of technology fail and falter when simplicity and esoteric
Rationale comprise enhance encompass the necessary world view shifts

Ascent and ever changing climax revitalizes humanness thus gifts
Truth deriving comprehension from ‘objective’ communal subjectivity with
Intuition insight inclination outside from the rigid boxed conformity

Order may be found again in the chaos of our time of misrepresented bedlam
New Age Aquarius delivers acts upon fresh constellation contemplates the Universe

Premium Member Stolen Identity

Attention!  Identity crisis!  Who am I?                                                                                                                       Who on earth would want to be me?  And why?
Absolutely no one could  be me better than me.                                                                                                 

Several years ago, I attempted to file my taxes.
I usually file for an extension in April and wait.                                                                                                          So as usual, it was mid October when I filed.
Little did I know that I would face a rude awakening                                                                                                 when the IRS informed me that my taxes were already filed.

Of course I had not filed my taxes, but someone else did so.                                                                               Somehow, someway, someone had taken on my identity, and
for six months, I was none the wiser of being misrepresented.                                                                      Someone boldly attempted to become me and suceeded.
The thief who sought to rob me of a refund must have been sadly                                                                 disappointed when he discovered that this tax payer had no refund due.

The IRS coached and restored me back to the person I knew myself to be.                                                              Hearing of so many stolen identities with devastating results, comparatively,    I was blessed and fortunate.

Inspiration

I am always looking for it-but never find it- never? well no not never 
but I hardly find it 
hardly! 
I find it in the oddest places,
What places? 
the internet is a tangle of misrepresented thoughts 
I am in there - but maybe I shouldn't be? 
Maybe you shouldn't 
Well If I deleted my facebook account how will people find me?
What people?
People I meet, and wait what were we talking about? 
Inspiration. 
Oh, so I just think alot of it has to do with chance, the right place the right time, people too they can inspire you ya know. 
How can people inspire you? 
Sometimes it's in the way they move.

Brotherhood of Hope


Brown shirts soil the streets in incremental aspirations
	
Exclaim ‘we are the truth’ and nothing but the certitude

No doubts remain where torches shine and voices roar

Eclipsed humanity suffocated embrace disintegration

Accelerate the tempo to tunes and steps of marching

Terror deception propaganda manipulated fulcrum of

History forgotten misrepresented with a bunch of lies 


Totalitarian power of supremacy religious dogma

Heritage of ‘Othering’ discrimination greed in

Ever changing guise of ministries of ‘truth’ depicts


Lest we forget the lessons of the past the shady

Incineration of freedom unadulterated thoughts

'Egalite fraternite liberte' diversity and human beauty

Suffocated evolves from underneath the rabble 


Heteronormativity exposed domination condemned

Obliteration revealed and when resistance yields the

Power to strip brown fascist fancy dress of evil and

Entertain defiance there is hope beneath the lies

Premium Member And That Is Ok Jesus Your a Marvelous Thing

AND THAT’S OK       JESUS YOU’RE A MARVELOUS THING

Oh, Jesus you’re a marvelous thing
My Lord God you’re a marvelous thing
Whatever gotten into me
I see the glory, it’s written in the story
And all that I’ve did
And all that I’ve done
I have lied, stolen and cheated
Been a fornicator, misrepresented
And one time a non-believer
But now that I’ve confessed my sins
Now that I’ve turn around
Now that I been born again   it’s OK
And that’s OK
I’ve been born again
Washed in the blood of the Lamb
Mercy and Grave by the GREAT ALL I AM I AM
And now that I follow the Father
My choice is too now be involved in…
Jesus  My Lord  My God you’re  you are a marvelous thing
And you are, you are the reason I sing
And that’s OK
My God today is the maker of everything
He’s the reason we are beings
And that’s OK
Jesus My Lord My God you’re, you are a marvelous thing
Jesus My Lord My God you’re,  you are a marvelous thing

My Conscience Speaks To

Hello! my dear bad mind...................
I am not with You
I am being, ever and anon, misguided,
misled, misrepresented                                                                                                           and 
even badly cheated         
made me bind to undergo
utmost slavery
in regions 
where I never
expected myself to be so.

I know your best friend
who is?
keenly the same
but have with refinement,
very sharp
trying to bow down me
foully by any means
that's Your own
the bad intelligence.

For, I warn you both,
if I survive you will
if I die you too
there’s  no excuse.

You both
keep with me
to live alive 
if not 
will be beaten
my conscience speaks to.

Premium Member Tell Me Who Do You Say That I Am

oh my Good Lord for Christ’s sake who have you become

a well-known carpenter who suffered on his own cross

put nails in his own coffin a shepherd who lost to his flock

beggar man in rags once caring and sharing kindness and love

so the story goes but you caved in to prolonged abuse

misrepresented disavowed on the altar of religious deceit

you presided over wars subjugation poverty and holocaust

must have cried thousands of tears in horrible agony

dying all over the planet again once more and forever



they made you a star a celebrity icon poster boy idol

forgot in the process that actions shout louder than words

attached hypocrisy bigotry philistine culture to your name

now you dwell unrecognisably in bourgeoise falsification

in a shallow grave of history that spits on your genius


you were once so great had such wonderful ambition

so much so that if you had not existed we’d have created

a human being with such vision to ease self-imposed pain 

your thorny crown has wilted on the spread sheet of time


a relic and artifact an illustration of vast compassion 

we lost you in the fields of Flanders on our crusades

in the chambers of Auschwitz when we showed truths

about humankind and the punitive evil of our souls


yet a statue of the Madonna rests next to a lean Buddha

on the fireplace surround in my heart and the hearth

hellfire maybe but I have not forgotten your meaning

A HOUSE DIVIDED
 
What right do you have to tell someone 
Else how to use their bodies like they should

You don’t run their life and they not yours 
How they meet their mistakes 
Is their own decision, to do as they should

Just because you hold up a book 
Written so long ago you believe 
the words of ancient hate… 
you still have not the right 
to tell me how to think

How out to date, out of context, 
used without understanding 
A text you can’t comprehend 
only misread, misrepresented

A book you claim appoints you to say 
This is what you should do 
and this what you should believe 
A false narrative in the ugliest
 of thoughts, deeds

How misguided, how blind, 
now corrupt and so naive
This is not that, not all the words 
were meant to be used as you see  
If you are not meant say, then don’t, 
it will set you free, 
It is your hypocrisy, your disease

To love and to be love, 
as that is the New Covenant 

Not the blasphemy of this 
the current government 
What gives you 
the right to tell someone 
Else what to do 
Yes, life is precious 
Life is glorious 

A Secret, none are 
born Holy N Perfected 
But this is the 
real world, the world 
Of life in flesh and blood 
not archaic stories 
Or bullet points to approve 
a false Armageddon

This is the real world, 
keep your high thoughts to yourself 
Let a man or woman, 
be a person who decides what they should be
All by themself, if they are ready 
to reap the rewards or oblivion

Let them decide with love and caring 
from those around them 
To make the correct decision 
Do not judge 
Or yet ye be judged 

Mistakes are made 
We’re all human 
We know it is up to that person to define 
What they need to do 

Or which way to go 
If you want to do the thing that is right 
Support them with all your might 

They may be inspired 
by what you feel is correct
Done in their best interest 
to give them 
All there is. ...is respect 

What right do you have 
to tell someone 
Else how to use their 
bodies like they should

You don’t run their life
they not yours 
How they meet their mistakes 
Is their own decision, 
to do as they should

Only they alone will stand in judgment…
Someday!
