Long Pessimists Poems

1

The drummer beats slowly, the drummer beats loud
     as he beats of humanity wrapped in a shroud.

Well he beats of the rape and the killing of war
     and the mind mangling sorrow we blithely ignore
          and...

Each day’s (we’re alive) one more leaf that has fallen
from tree (Fate’s collusion?), our edifice grown
with the help of light garnered from sources outside
of our provenance, moisture, and minerals,
‘cheap’s’ turned to ‘gold,’ not by Chemistry’s...

I have been reading a rootless thesis:
Lack of commitment to a permanent home
causes depression,
over-commitment to inside claustrophobic voices,
failing deep-rooted immune systems,
obesity,
disassociation,

Fear of outdoor climate pathologies,
un-walled infestations
alien predators
threats to our own ongoing ecopolitical empowerment
too competitively overwhelming
to...

Atheism,
for a Taoist
and for UUs
and Zeroists,
and Not ZeroSumists,
and Positive ZeroZone Therapists,
is synonymous with Agnosticism
and maybe Gnostic BiCameral Consciousness.

Healthy skeptics,
but not pessimists,
Agnostics understand how win/lose leftbrain either/or dominant
intelligent people
confuse Atheism with AntiTheism
but do not internally suffer...

So you really think life is over
Challenges are part of existence
Obstacles a spring board to success
A coin has too sides
So does every circumstance in life
What others call obstacles is what some see as opportunity
Suicide should...

Americans, Algerians, Australian aborigines,
Corrupt leaders of the world involved in illegal activities.
Bloodthirsty bullies brazenly bombing bystanders,
Militaries full of corrupt army commanders.
Charities for children, carers in communities,
Third world countries deprived of equal opportunities.
Doctors, dentists, drugs, disability...

We get so caught up in right and wrong, discussing it is this that will benefit us and that that will harm us, we get so caught up and tired and so very thoughtful on...

Even when an election doesn’t go my way I consider myself an optimist 
when all is said and done.
I believe most people would concede…optimism makes life a lot more fun.

I believe I was born an...

how does it feel to have been a 
believer?  
after all, you voted for mr. hope &
change, after rallying behind him,
after believing that he would be
different than all the others, after
seeing his wondrous smile,...

Rolling down the concrete, skate-wheels roll and rumble, over cracks, and anthill stacks, and leaves that crunch and crumble. Brand new deck, and skate shoes, a perfect day to ride, not caring what the pessimists...

Get in shape, lose some weight.
Every year it’s always the same.
Read a book, stay home and cook,
And I only have myself to blame.

Till some land, lend a hand.
You’d think that I’d be smart enough,
Cards to...

A relation of opposites, this contrary world,
of every creation, even boy and girl.
Things complex or simple, within us without us,
of soft things or hard, be solid or gaseous.
There's positive and negative, that repel and attract,

where does love come from?
where does love stop?
i've met too many that speak of its nonexistence
i know far too many sadists, 
masochists, pessimists, nihilists
and i had to shake them all off 
on my long-winded ride...

They bless us with burdens
Feed the rich and thriving
Giving the poor scraps
In a land burning green

The trees dance in winds
Collapsed by the wealthy
Their leaves fall to the ground
We sing songs of sorrow

Those in power rejoice
Our...

Focus is strength
What people say behind you is distraction
Why does it matter what they say
People will always talk
Strength is focus
Your world is your creation 
In addition to positive perspectives 
That aligns with your goals for...

Milton and Adam, egocentric Narcissists
capitalized idea of freedom from pessimists
Freedman and Smith, associates seeing all 
to the very end of their own proboscises

no one knows better, than self (and them)
what society needs to get fettered...

Haters ain't built like me, I'm a G
That's a letter of the alphabet you can't be
Vissionaires do it, pessimists blew it
Quit wasting time, let's get back to it


You should go vegan, don't want no beef

You're...

Once upon on a memory
It seems like many moons ago,
Our hearts danced, we became entranced
The oceans of our love began to flow.
A lost and empty heart
Wandered aimlessly down a path,
Darkness invaded, hope evaded
Then there was...

I wonder...

If RightWing Activists
are, thereby,
actively against
Allies of a healthy
cooperative
co-invested
compassionate democracy.

If RightMind disempowered pessimists
lack Win/Win enlightened grace
to feel unconditional warm economies
of politically organic love
in sacred time and space.

If RightHand monotheistic powers
could ever learn
from divine experience
to become...

We are the generation
of discontinued imagination.
With our twisting words
you’ll drink in
desperately.
Our beautiful stories
spun from the nothingness.
Shadows of hope
glimmering in the distance.
Farfetched aspirations
that will never be reached.

We are the hopeless romantics
you all wish you could be.
We...

BLACK PURPLE 

Just one dialled and received call
Two hearts connected through a good network 
From one single kiss; they stopped being single 
Good timing made way for good scenes; censored
Walls failed to keep the secret...

Is her neck on straight? Is she right in her head.
I cannot stand people who stomp and grump.
