Imagery

I climb to the top of the Eiffel tower to catch the remnant of hope gliding through the skies in a bolt of lightning as it circles the three hundred- and thirty-meters pinnacle standing bravely on the hill singing songs of redemption.  

I have been longing to get there because I have something romantic to share, it was you I saw sitting in a golden chair with a diamond ring on your finger and golden septage in your hand. 

 You had gifts all around you and long line of people were waiting to see you and the people from Babylon walking by saluting and bowing in front of you. 

It seems like yesterday they rolled the curtain away and you came out without a thought or doubt, but the villagers began to shout. 

 They marched in the village with sticks and stones calling on the woman of Samaria to turn around or they would send the tanker man to blow up the town.

 She didn’t take it seriously until she got hit in the face and ended up with broken finger and domestic disgrace, forcing her to pull back into herself as the weapon of death wheeled over her head. 

 It causes her to lose some precious vote and while she was out everyone start to shout, the river monkey and the Pentecostal valedictory but the Methodist honorary showed compassion and did not voice their opinion. Pope Francois was in on it too. But his persuasion was not strong to take down the giant man. 

The live imagery was so profound of everyone you meet in the town. They smile in front of you and tear your garments behind you and when they are done, they hang it on a stick and place it on top of the Eifel tower in the sun. 

We live in two separate worlds, one inside of me and the other outside of you, but it feels like you are right here besides me.

 I can hear you all the time but you mask your voice underneath the vine and at nights when I take a nap you play tick tack toe underneath my frock but I pretend to sleep on to prevent altercation on the land. The image is always there it comes and disappears.  

I am going on the hill to meet with the daffodil; I will minister to its soul and make its body whole. I will heal its painful allergy and when I wave my hands over its face, it will remove all the disgrace and dry up all the allergies. 

The daffodils will smile again from the virtue of my healing hands, so come and help me to sing this beautiful song.

Premium Member The Ouija Board

The shifting of many corporeal hands move across this dead cell,
A vacuums vortex, a psychic sponge, charging this battery of
Energy called the spirit board.
Paranormal phenomenon striking plate to enter realities plane
Of existence, for the ethereal challenged in crisis, seeking the
Threshold for spontaneous release, unto our spiritual realm.
Witchery’s board of trickery left in a polarized stance it
So entices the living with its tempting whispering of lies,
Incantations gate keepers wait on the other side of evils
Door way.
Memorizing the human sensory functions into a false
Sense of harmless mystery of the unexplained, it lures
These victims ever closer to weaving its spell of the demonic.
These capture being lost unto the hypnotic effects are
Transfixed unable to hit their override switch that controls
Their mental powers of persuasion, disabled is there strength
Of will power, they belong to the Ouija now.
Clasping do all for sides of the curtain of reality, times
Displacement begins in earnest, without hesitations
Momentary loll this dead cell bursts to life.
Black magic key has been inserted within the wooden
Door way’s heart and soul, a bizarre power bank draws
Forth the energy of the spiritual lost, swinging hells
Kept wide open.
The pancetta spins out of control, smashing against
The barriers of humanity, darkened ebony light shines
Through this doorway of evil and the flickering candle
Turns to a shades greenish blue wavering in the odious
Breeze.
The voice of a thousand screams echo in sheer delight,
We have been freed at last, broken is the trance, the boards
Hypnotic effects are dashed by the light of the dawn.
Dazed in bewilderment the voyeurs are chilled to their
Very inward bones, shaking, staring in awes amazement,
Wondering if these events really happened at all.
Then within these tented walls a voice responds to their
Questioning, laughing, as if a jackal at a fresh kill site!
Foolish mortals you know not what you have done, this
Night, but I promise thee this, laughing once again,
In a demonic under tone, none shall leave this domicile
Alive.
The entry doors lock without the human touch, the
Curtain windows pull closed, a momentary stilled
Scream, then all is silent, what remains is left up
To my readers to visualize, as the final candle
Blows out!

I am greatly annoyed by dismissive people.                                                                                   Only a few succeed at altering their persuasion,                                                                                                               because nothing can be added to their equation.

They are most assuredly conclusive;                                                                                                                                and they may also be elusive.
They are not very inclusive;                                                                                                                                                       but more likely to be exclusive.
They are very active,                                                                                                                                     and not at all passive.
They are beyond divisive.                                                                                                                                                  They are totally dismissive.                                                                                                                           

They only care about their own point of view.                                                                                                                 
Rationality and reason do not reside on their avenue.
Perhaps they think that they know what is best;
and all others can bow out and take a rest.                                                                                

Me thinks they have a preference for intellectural domination;
because they shun debate, discussion, and more information.
They have foreclosed the matter and closed their minds.                                                                                       There is nothing to be added; everyone else is subtracted.
I hereby confess, I am really annoyed by dismissive people.                                                                                                                                                                                 With them, all intelligence to the contrary has hereby been dismissed.

Curse of Marriage

The only woman I ever loved gives joy and love, For I have met and loved other women but not with such satisfaction I feel now. For she turns a dark day bright and shares a smile that brings life to a withering rose, if only her parents knew they would have called her Rose because she is my Rose of Sharon. Give me love my angel for today we joined in one, let us rejoice in our love and strengthen our bond in marriage.
Days, weeks, months pass and my love is still strong and sharper than any double edged sword. We on the second year now, why the sudden change. Our usual routines fade with the honeymoon phase, no more cuddling its now frequent quarreling. Is marriage like this? Love fades now its reality; she comes late at night and leaves early in the morning. The home once full of love now lays with sorrows.Donot know who to blame but myself for I ran before I could walk and landed before I could fall and now everything is vivid we jumped into marriage leaving us livid.
Everything changes I do not feel at home anymore, because home is where the heart is and for now my heart is wondering. I start feeling at home at pubs, for it is there where I drown my sorrows. Nightfall becomes my joy for I know the bar calls and sorrows are drowned. I now long for body warmth for in bed we now like Siamese twins joined by our backs.
Usual routine at the bar two three beers a woman approaches, she speaks with persuasion, have I found love at the bar or is it the alcohol taking its course? She whispers in my ear all through the night. She then leads me away like a bull led for slaughter.
Morning and everything is bleak but I feel body warmth, had I partaken in the act of love with the mystifying woman. Suddenly she awakes; she smiles and demands she be reward for her participation in the act. It then hits me, is she the thorny rose that wilts other roses, the lady of the night that brings gloom. I glance around the room; nothing strikes me as a condom. Does that mean I partook in the act of love with the lady of the night without protection?
Has my marriage lead me to death, It seems death is now soon to be my destiny. For I know with the ladies of the night comes the devil's advocate.
And now that the curse of my marriage
She was one of the reasons I lived and now she is the only reason I'm dying...

Premium Member Political Short-Circuits

A problem with fundamentalist short-circuits
is their Left-dominant tendencies
over RightBrain polypathic-polyphonic resonant feelings.

Fundamentalism shrinks Left-RightBrain Both-And
WinWin ecopolitical thinking,
strategizing,
democratizing,
domesticating,
creolizing.

For example,
imagine your nationalistic domestic policies
to pit those who victoriously have
against marginalized and criminalized lepers,
parasites, really,
in your not-so-humble,
vaguely fascist,
opinion,
are not going so well
as you might have Republican conservationally predicted.

You need something
you know everyone, of importance, will champion,
so you point out that transgenderal confusions
are not appropriate to military-industrial's bottom-line
compete unto death
monoculturing focus.

Transgenders must, then, be an unnecessary economic liability
and political loyalty risk
because they aren't decisively anything fundamentally patriotic,
much less appropriately straight patriarchal.

Unfortunately,
for the fundamentalist Either-Or nonthinker,
without richly constant and diverse healthy relationships
with any ecopolitically multicultural depth,
what might sound like a political big win
over little inconsequential losers,
breaks down with actual one-on-one experience.

The anti-transgender agenda
breaks down because too many sergeants
and corporals,
lieutenants leaking counter-factuals
to admiring admirals
and generalist generals
about the long history
of incredibly excellent military-industrialized service
individual transgender personnel
in the thousands
have delivered in the past,
unlike a dysfunctional bicameral Congress
and a sociopathological White House;
whether a swampy, witch-infested dump,
or not.

Transgender co-intelligence
tends to understand
cooperative media economies
and political persuasion.
That's a bicameral nest of honey bees
you don't want to fundamentalistically mess with,
because they will make you look politically stupid
and economically bereft of moral integrity.

It's rather like believing health-assurance climates 
of care-receiving
and for mutual healthcare-giving
is just a Democratic women's eco-survival issue
when your own nationalistic patriarchal prostate
is growing in a cancerous viral,
self-imploding,
wu-wei.


Premium Member Black Powder

We celebrate Guy Fawkes although he did not quite make the grade

I know and understand rebellion threatens thus he met his fate

Could have been worse he could have blown of his incendiary hand

Less body parts to torture in the name of country and King of the land

Guido as they called him fighting for the Spanish before his foiled plot

Was fully aware that he could be exterminated for an unsavoury complot


Can violence in the name of debatable justice be ever condoned

The masters of power today might agree when Syria is droned

Crusades in the name of some cause or other belie religion and creed

When money meets oil geopolitical persuasion derived from greed


Black powder in Guy’s case blew up in his fierce revolutionary face

Unlike Nelson an eye for a blind spot got him nothing but disgrace


Dark power gloved fists velvet resolutions and orange insurrections

Should of course release white peace doves from resolute minds’ disaffection

Nena’s 99 red balloons and Banksy’s street art reveal a powerful message

No doubt they beat anthrax in envelops and letter bombs sent by expressage


Yet Mandela in his armed struggle days was deemed a vile terrorist

Fought for the cause in despair but was labelled a mean criminal errorist


Suppose that leaves us with religion and Jesus crossed bleeding nailed

Whereas Guy stored explosives in Westminster’s undercroft with little avail


A white robed Ghandi marched for salt freedom justice peaceful opposition

Before him the Buddha sat quietly under a Bodhi tree for untroubled transition


Fawkes received victor’s punishment but is said to have fallen from the scaffold

Before being hanged broke his neck probably mocked the crowd that was baffled

Avoided the agony of the punitive rope before drawn and divided into four parts

Outsmarted the executioner retribution erratically broken in fits and starts


Few of us know the real story only shoot fireworks remember November the 5th

Blow money miss the pith dispense judgement in blessed ignorance forthwith


A lesson to be learnt from the historical legend some possible moral from treason

Is that words are superior to gun powder and it’s better to die for a right reason

That was then, this is now!
In those days my maidenhead was in full bloom,
then you …


Sappho, fragment 135
translation by Michael R. Burch

Golden Persuasion, Aphrodite's daughter,
how you deceive mortals!


Sappho, fragment 88

Mourning is unbecoming a poet's household.

For those who serve the Muses,
mourning is unbecoming.

Fracas Miscellany

FRACAS MISCELLANY

(Let's Slam):

This futuristic society is all about the status quo.
The soul of humanity is therefore exposed to terrorists’ attacks and war.
Where I am from cries out to unknown God to no be the prophesy of Armageddon.
An eternal doomsday is perceived.
So much is happening for no reason at all other than man not seeing himself as his own dilemma.

(Now Rap):

A sniper
A peace fight
Police officers lost their lives.
From the highest tower, 
Shots are fired.
Over what is stated to be the white man crimes.

Of oppression and a racist society
A peace fight transpired.
Five officers died. 
We mourn and we cried,

(We Slam):

The site or time of a final and conclusive battle between the forces of good and evil defines the State of the Union now.
Pseudonymity, symbolic imagery, and the expectations of a nice-styled terrorist attack is an imminent cosmic cataclysm in which God destroys.
The ruling power of evil is no more because the raising of righteous lives has superseded all others.

(Now we Rap):

Shouting the face of America has been scrutinized from
Transgression of another hate crime.
Six were wounded and five died
Over Black lives matter.

(Slamming):

Messianic kingdoms are part of a historic form relating to a messiah being our savior.
In that we must be our own guardian angel and establish defense by being aware of the impending danger, knowing our territory is of great importance.
With the bordering of the Atlantic, Pacific, and Arctic oceans; immigration is our focus.
However, what is happening today is our own melee.
Native born lives are being negated by those that are for the United States of NA as a white man’s persuasion.
Fracas has therefore formed in which snipers are born.

(Ends with it's a Rap):

Upsetting the balance of society
A sniper - a suicide boomer manifest.
Upset with white people - a state of madness
He stated he wanted to kill a multitude of them,
White police officers especially.

Today is troubled.
Tragedy is an ongoing melee.
Now an uproar throughout the United States (of NA).

Colonization

One country controls an another is colonization,                                        This process of power leads to imperialism,                                                    Is it benefitting our mother nation?,                                                        Modern thinkers feel it as an act of barbarism.                                     
                                                                                                                        Indians were nearly 200 years under the crown rule,                                 Was it a period of massive economic stagnation?                                       We can't catch fish in a confused pool,                                                      Once, in the world, Colonialism had become a fashion.                                  
                                                                                                                                  It is the cousin of the social evil, slavery,                                                        We have to mould our nation's destiny,                                                              It is the right time to show our bravery,                                                          And we have to follow our ancient ancestry.                                           
                                                                                                                          Anglo-Indian is reflecting the history of colonization,                             
Social evils are stopped during British rule,                                    Introduction of English education is its persuasion,                                   Was the concept of coloniality is a rule or mis rule?.                    
                                                                                                                Colonialism had given birth to the middle class obviously,                       Who became the pioneer of modern industrialization really,              Colonial rule is a curse or boon to some countries surely,                              
 It acted transparency like a transparent glass clearly.
