Long Polemic Poems

When oppositional cognitive dissonance 
deflects focus from compassion,
I've learned to go back to when I deflected focus from her.
She sends me passive-aggressive messages,
bread crumbs leading back in time 
to where she began to feel alone,
marginalized,
siloed,
anxious,
neglected.

I'm reading a publication of Yale Press,
a "centrist" polemic against the LeftBrain's libertarian excesses,
and against RightBrain's sinister shadow
of totalitarian uniformity
playing nihilistic lose/lose
on a global interpersonal
public sector stage three
of nationalistic climate annihilation,

Where RightBrain's win/win golden shadow

Serrated swathes of overwhelming savage gusts without compassion,
directionless dilatory daydreamer that  I am  ostensibly vulnerable,
to the serendipitous intrusion at a wispy sapphire cloud flaccid noon,
the minimal load  burdensome midpoint idle tranquil saunter,

Every 16 hours a woman is shot
by her husband or boyfriend

One American is killed with a gun
every 15 minutes

Over 80 Americans are shot and killed 
every day

7 children are “unintentionally” shot
every day

33,000 Americans are killed...

I believe in the bold tomorrow,
The theory of the radical way,
Without friends and follow,
Upon the past undone with sway.

The Bush’s read their bible,
The Clinton’s quietly prayed,
Reagan, the actor did idle,
The visit to the church stayed.

It’s...

Today’s world a chaotic gone,
Lies in sly a'Babylon,
That came to be a polemic,
With filth of doctrine a chronic sick,

That claims to know the truth so well,
But in truth their pride doth swell,
Just before his lightning...

All the symptoms and conditions that known illnesses convey
They perceive these indications each one causing more concern

Pour the drips and drops from an iambic alembic,
Evaporations of rosy prose and rhyming thyme,
To concoct within 'ye cauldron what the polemic
Spoons from this soup of poetic slime.

I crossed the yard
two-thirds awake,
intent upon 
that coffee break:

young teacher hunk,
one tall, cool stud
(before the Night,
before the Flood,

before the Flight
of all that’s good,
before the Blight
brought down the Wood,

and damned spare tyres
dammed up the Gush),
I waded...

Hearth of Winds

From west to east you plumb axisal spin,

And darted on the limbs of the poles.

On longitudes and latitudes, you are dotted in silhouettes.

Just above the horizon of age, you journeyed,

Beckoning the threshold of...

play on your knees
play in the yards

toes of glory

It was a sudden grim tragedy,
That jeopardized lives and safety,
With neither a tremor nor vibration,
An edifice came crumbling from the foundation.

Like Titanic ship it came sinking suddenly,
Like pack of cards it came crashing all at...

In a tinderbox wrapped up by an askant beldam’s hand

Monkeys in Moon

Just a few lucky monkeys could be at moon
And to be one among them was your boon;
It’s real, they said, humans may come soon,
And to pluck fruit before them, be a goon.

Stranded on black soot in mood
Pile of dusts sight, forsaken by time
In the mangled maze, I glued
Grief finally tranquilized, honored as it should

Still, sense's writhing in a silent polemic
Steal the realities which still running

I would like to raise,
My opinion and give praise,
To poets who need to write,
Trying to pen words to delight,
Others who may be feeling sad,
Lonely or bad.
