Long Nemeses Poems

The Naked brazen placid blue
Meets its foe the dark forbidding nemeses
Who unleashes his growing anger and fury
Obliterating and defeating his enemy
Proclaims a victory and unrolls his miserable shroud
With utter contempt
And spews his venom
Impregnating his virgin...

To my beloved
Avalokita & Viana
Daughter & Niece 
Advice for better
In world it matter
Live each day fuller
And always remember
What goes around
Comes around
So be always kind
Not at cost of blind
Will always have a choice
If you feel...

Yuval Noah Harari
suggests that Nationalism's
Big Three Nemeses are fear of
nuclear holocaust,
degenerative climate trends,
and Business As Usual disruptions 
of eco-politically salvific technology.

When I first read this list
of his global Three,
the one that stood out

The armies they are massing:
They line and ring every shore, every strand bristling with 
The deadliest of weapons;
The tocsin should be sounded, 
And every cannon is round at its bore.
Fires rage unchecked and unopposed throughout the 
Entire world,...

He woke me
For a reason
And I flung
Back the covers
That blinded me
I retrieved my sword
As he told me
Who has set foot
Upon his world
Without
Fear or favour
I set about
My task
No one will tread it down
Break it
Into pieces
Without my...

(Re tiny box-like homes lining the west side of
South Bundy Drive, north of Nebraska Street, in West LA)

The soiled feeling comes not
From the indignant paradise
Scurrying past their frontal lobes 
It arrived in silence
Borne of being...

Unclear to remove layman rules unfolded

Of thuggery not gained in format by living
But believing in confused formulator of plan B

We are the tintinnabulating trolls
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
As...

He thinks to prevail the existence as haze over
And makes his own beau geste 
A spirit of ingenuity revived peerlessly 
And makes the reality to indite a blue story
That appears to be enjoyable.

As Earth revolves in time and space, 
We meet the future face-to-face. 
While every soul tries to have their day, 
Their nemeses try to block their way. 

This causes decades when nothing significant happens,

The novelty of truth has lost its true meaning
The nobility of man has lost his true being
Human being, you've lost your morality and capacity
But practically death is an eternity from liberty
And life that is...

The Oort Cloud Cometh

A few million years from now if we are here
Comets by the thousands will appear
Sent by cosmic forces originated from out there
Science says the Oort cloud is to blame

We stand prepared for battle, our pikes thrusted toward the gullets of our adversaries.

Hastily we aim to strike down all we oppose.

Our nemeses match us with a fervor that scorches redder than our own flames...

HONEST SKEPTICISM

if you are a skeptic
there is still hope…
just three major 
hurdles that prevent
you from trusting God

it has nothing to
do with reluctance
to believe God exists

but instead…

that you doubt
you are worthy 
enough of His
attention.
Or…
that you are...

I have jumped off waterfalls,
And swam with dolphins in the deepest,
I have trekked the steepest mountains,
And tranversed the savannah,
My life seemed to its fullest but it was empty,
Because it was all about me.

Fruitcakes are so many's wicked nemeses

these compact bundles of strange taste

to me they're treasure troves of bake

their plethora of flavors interlaced.

 

Their composition truly throwing me off
