War of Worldviews

YangLeft: Those still capable of right thinking,
as our more civil
humane reflections
on bilateral political
and economic investment inflection,
sometimes cooperative
and democratically co-invested,
but usually just BusinessAsUsual
life remains a win/lose infested 
compromising 
ZeroSum political disempowering game 
deflection.

Mystification prevails stupefying yours truly

Ill Nurtured Nature

They left me in the woods…a simple game of hide-and-seek, only there was no reciprocation. I’ve been here for so long, the imprints my knees have made are now pools of mud from the rainstorm...

Kundalini Part 2 of 5

As we then thus rest in dynamic stillness of innocence 
Attentively watching with a loving longing
We detect ripples of thought as obstructive interference
Blocking us from with our lover entwining

Stilling not our stillness we now let...

I Awkwardly, Ineptly, and Submissively Fumbled Thru Life

I awkwardly, ineptly, and submissively fumbled thru life...,
whereat purposefulness rarely gained traction

Fatherhood (half my life time ago)
bolstered reasonable rhyme
manifesting itself before
these myopic bespectacled eyes.

Infancy, babyhood, and Childhood
evidenced, noticed, and witnessed
adequate basic provisions,
and no shortage of...

The Rhyme of the Mother Earth

Mother gives birth to them
Earth gives food, shelter
Mother, earth both are same
Important ever and ever,

A little, they respect mother
Much disrespect the earth
Its animals, trees, water, air
They need, eat, drink, breathe,

They take them opponent
Like snakes, bears,...

Disconnecting Numb

Forcing his way through a ocean of iniquity and negligence,
As malfeasances and misconducts concoct a deadly storm of uncertainty,
Demons and guilt torment him,
Obstructions and obstacles challenge him,
Misfortune and tragedy overwhelm him,
As he is subconsciously enveloped...

Ice Nine Part 2

Frigid metals twist like 
Banshees in shriek,
Making all who hear it fear it's threatening speech.
Cognitive cogs, turning out torture-
instigating further madness noir.
Pale green and gold in it's likeness.
Promulgated sickness.
Rusted iron dust to waft in the...

The journey is infant and the waters are calm
the boat is carried on soft waves as if sailing on a child's palm
as the sounds of peaceful streams sends a newborn to sleep.

The boat makes way...

The Goal

They say happiness comes and goes, 
They say joy can not last for long, 
They say love is only a temporary thought, 
They say life ends after all. 

The being that I am,

Beneath the surface...

Oh look who toils up yonder hill
Of shoulders stooped and slow of gait
Garments hang off a frame once filled
The body drips with yesterday’s fate

An existence once filled with hate and greed
Ensnared in a mind of...

To blend in knowledge then to stir

Obstructions of Justice

Please rise
up to the very clouds, if you please.
The somewhat honorable marshal will preside
over the disorder of this court.

You have been summoned, gentleman,
on this very good Friday
on the charges of dullness and lifelessness.
The court will...

Take Me To Turks: My Vacation Nation

I am held without speech--

Fresh morning cappuccino

open Windows brush inside  
Wondrous Whispers of life
the breath of a...

A voice in the darkness calls
Silence becomes the walls and
He motions my move with...

Lace doilies

To Come Back Again

It was a rampant effort to exploit
By trying to anoint and then appoint
A certain person who needed nursing
Regarding reading poems and rehearsing.

How ironic that they all had elected
A certain way for it...

Other times the way ahead broadens into...
