The Conditions of Living

Stark organisations of my observations
Respond to beauty with pure elation 
Instead of chronic devastation 
Process the abject consternation 
From contrived over-saturation 
And acute mass manipulation 
That should be in legal confiscation
Truth found...

The Grinch of Grinch's and so

The Empirical Veneers of Decency and Acceptance

It’s funny how perceived intelligence 
Is not necessarily a measure of true smarts 
How the genius, the barrister and the eloquent 
Can miss the point from the very start...

May nine nineteen eighty was great, 
Being the day of his calling; 
Brother Eduardo Manalo
Had received the noblest blessing.

	That this he had to do.
			He told his parents when he got home
				That he must go to France
					And...

Why are we the human race
rather than another extinguishing species?
Why not the human species
and not the cockroach race?
Why is human nature
intended as somehow supremely natural

above and beyond 
inferior sensual nature?

Why is...

Mom, did you hear the news about patriarchy today?

Yes, dearest son!
Or no...
I'm not sure.
You mean the gender translation problem?

Reject

If you today set your sails
The boisterous currents called “reject”
Blowing from the people’s anger and wails
Wallowing in usury and neglect 
Betrayed trust and hopes facing fails 
Innocent of cause but guilty of effect 
Will blow...

Imagination of my heart, be still
Is it not true that thoughts define our world?
And bring to light obscurities that thrill.

For in the mind, new ideas are unfurled.
Genesis, like Einstein’s Relativity,
Embrace complex concepts still swirled.

Religious beliefs...

Up for sale, you will find.
Nights of voyage in my head.
Boarding ships of pink and red,

trapped in the sands of time... 
we count the grains as days

already spent- 

to face this time, the future with 
the question, for we...

Let's say we have capitulated 
yes, let's say we have succumbed
to their whimsical naivété and inane wisdom
Let us assume that it is all phoney
that it is a bogus hoax-filled folklore

Can I take you back to 1906,
When San Francisco got a shock,
That stopped many a clock.

Charities did their best,
When put to the test,
Yet lack of co-ordination,
Threatened the whole operation.

Thankfully there were some wise heads around...

I danced a dance, not danced before,
the masses beamed in admiration.
Flames of passion slid along the dance floor,
as my body floated like a possessed butterfly.
