Long Oughts Poems

Loneliness

He sits at the table and watches the shoppers walk by
There aren’t many seats here, his half-hour limit’s long past
As one by one each worker chats with him; they know this guy
He offers them something...

Bolstered by faith in the path of ethical karma
Indeed, I am grateful for my parents guidance.
Imparting and intercepting a pragmatic dogma.
Do graceful deeds or such will Deity reliance.
 
Spirituality is a means of achieving mental...

Religion-propped ~~~ toward virtuous deed
I thank my parents’ example indeed
Instilling, imparting practical creed
“Do good works; and such will God bless to breed.”

With that perspective, I learned to do right
Midst litanies of dos, shoulds, musts, oughts-plight
Making...

Don’t pity me 
with warped perspective, 
don’t litter your 
Fool-oughts on others 
“I know He’s got his head”.

But his dreams are unacceptable,.
You Assume the worst and dread,
prejudice views, you look a fool,
Haven’t seen for years,...

Imagine in crown, an ethereal hole,
a portal linking us to vastness of space,
wherein formless presence, or what we call soul,
brings back to form the outpourings of God’s grace,
manifest as bliss mists that make us feel...

To see the world turned upside down
Takes change indeed, and lots!
More men like Jason bring this change,
But not those Argonauts.

For this is not of flesh and blood;
It’s not an earthy fight.
The dark, upended, rolled away,
Is...

There’s a guy in a church wearing three pairs of socks
Kneeling by the candles stealing coins from a box.
There’s a guy on TV wearing three diamond rings
Stealing from the faithful while a gospel group sings.

" An Encryption ... "

The Shame of A Thousand Crawls
The Blame of A Thousand Faults

In silence, we watch shadows pass
they shape our thoughts and feed the farce

Moulding lives to fit the lies
that see us strive, conform and die

And scared of what we do not know
we do not move or...

Life lessons learned through experience
In an undesired fashion
Learning to give up worldly ways
To obtain a Godly passion

My hearts desire was fulfilled
For only a short amount of time
Only after did I notice not all is good
And...

Life lessons learned the hard way
In an undesired fashion

Sometimes people just get tired
Of cussing, fussing and being confused

They understand love
But don’t understand why it isn't
Being used

And they’ve walked away so many times
Searching for peace of mind
Knowing that sanity and insanity are thin lines

So...

Balloons they float
Across the sky
In rainbow mood
Excessive high

Intruding birds
Like cloudless thoughts
With do's and don'ts
With musts and oughts

Above the trees
Rooted, they cheer
They dream of floating
Far from here

The gusting breeze
Can guide your joy
Away from ground
That can destroy

When duty calls I sometimes feel hard pressed
by all those tasks I have upon my list.
Some of these are raised by people who insist,
many more by some sense of ought obsessed
as my conscience wanders around...

The quiet moments
Of my day
Reveal the words 
I'd love to say

More in the wings
Than headline star
Not quite goodbye
More au revoir

No end, just waiting
At the start
The work horse
Eager for a cart

A sense of purpose
Nowhere to wander
DNR
For...
