Supremely Courted Systemic Feelings

I believe it was Alfred North Whitehead,
an early developer of cognitive systems thinking,
who observed frequent miscommunication
and confusion
and chaos
over bilateral complexities
of Set v isolated Individual issues
within a systemic set
of inter-related issues.

This comes to mind
as I listen...

The Light of Reckoning -2

The Roman administrators came for the wealth of our worship
demanding that I crack the church's coffers wide open
for their needs, for the Empire's desperate embellishments,
in place of gold I presented the poor

A Colossus Part 2dedicated To All Who Served and All Who Are Serving Our Country

Take care of her 
Keeping toes and ties off the ground
Beware of those with savage intent
To draw her down

Who seek only to pillage then plunder her 
All those faces leering, cajoling,...

Anthem For Doomed Youth

Let’s hear three cheers for the decade of disinfectant!
Clean out your insides with cheap vodka!
Blow your brains out with Nirvana!
Your breath reeking of teen spirits,

Does weed count as a vegetable?

You’re getting your five a day,
Candyman...

A Leading Man

of a dissident man 

a single lucent light fueled in the night
so flows pontification and foresight

the crowd it incites
a mass devoted to their leaders spite

Confrontation

Here you stand accused of intimidation, degradation and defamation
Daily depreciation, mental extirpation exploitation and pontification
Demoralization, cutting down people short of castration or amputation
Being a ruthless purveyor of humiliation, frustration and devastation

Society - Me Arse

Society – me arse


Society, the straight jacket of “socially” acceptable mores,
condemning all to a “one size fits all living coffin.
Social “mores”, cultural cudgels of “independent thought”,
ballyhooing the wonders of our differences
until Society’s sycophancy rears its...

Begone,Dull Care

Sententiousness I seriously cannot bear
I cannot abide po-faced pontification
Faced with which I  want to pull out my hair
Being  more at home in  a festive occasion.

Once Upon An Under Edited Mid-Life Crisis

Once upon an under edited and somewhat jaded, 
female’s mid-life crisis
she sat down to contemplate the options of all her
“age appropriate” vices’

“Debauchery deficient”, “depravity bereft”,she 
was "tragically prosaic”.
sadly ending her self-indulgent deprecation 
with,“pitifully archaic”

Strength from within

Committee Buzz

The air is thick with words.
They flutter and beat
About my ears
Like a thousand moths.
A proliferation of pontification
And pedantic pomposities
Numbs my mind
And muddles my thoughts.
Details, details, details!
Minute subtleties and
Nuances confuse, confound.
I feel the urge to shout,
“Simple!...

Skeight of Hand

The shell game moves with lightning speed

Fueled by deceit and endless greed

On and on the pundits roll

Pontification seems to be the rule

No adhesion do we see

As they fracture us into bickering fools

While we’re on our...
