Long Pragmatism Poems

some wise men
of different bent, ilk,
orientation and time, 
then our own,
prescribed four spice yellow smoothie milk 
to fortify the virtues 
considered natural and proper
by their standards and rules of the game:
swaddling was à la mode
cuddling...

My Mother taught me
how to see through language, 
paper was rare, iron ink wasn't free
so she sold some jewelry for porcelain lettering, 
and we clapped and sang the alphabet into life
our life, our joy, our...

I woke last night and read my Poe
and asked is all that we see or seem
but a dream within a dream of a dream?
I know what I don’t know what I know.

In Bethlehem’s cradle, a...

I cannot focus on the focal point to equivocal, the pain in my memory, to memorial site. The night smells gunpowder in the middle galaxy to summon the smart, south to Saturn where I rest...

Exracted from Gerald Nforche's Epic, The Slave's Tale


-Across the Atlantic, 1793-


We cry out cursing to our very gods
Whilst mokala and plotters lead us in lots.
And slaves we have become, slaves we are groomed
And setting in...

As with many dreams, I do not understand the dream I had last night.  On the night of December 19, 2007, I dreamed about a candidate for President of the United States.  I...

JudeoChristian monotheists,
from fundamental conservationists
on back to radical creolizing multiculturists
inspiring nature-spirit co-revolutions,
declare YHWH to be unchanging,
in constant loving relationship with planet Earth
and all EarthTribes

And therefore constant integrity,
synergy,
creativity,
regenerativity,
macaronically iconized as creolizing fertility.

Mystics and prophets,
seers and heretics,
science-fiction and...

On a velvet night, under a sky sprinkled with stardust,
realism, like a broken mirror, fails to reflect the whole truth,
it diminishes reality, thins it out, falsifies it, losing its essence,
it does not take into account...

In America’s Pragmatism,
the urgent question is "of" individual sanctity
now can be tweeted as:
“what is the Pragmatic or Aesthetic function "of"
ASS HOLE or PUSSY, anyway?”

and "of" the 2 types of Humanity:
the Good Dudes and the Bad...

We, 
with the geometry and evening 
balance of our midcentury hands—gently 
lower the cloche over the day between us. It is a 
nightly ritual, gravity-driven, habit built over time, the glass 
encasement marred by scars,...

My life has travelled roads less taken, 
a tumbleweed, east, west, north and south, 
all around the world.
Sprouting, enticing horizons beckoned, 
each just as fair, opened to discover
by youthful emancipation from entangled roots.
Never an answer...

A delusory pleasure bristled the solitary abator 
And the dusky night rides down the sky
An ethereal beauty demoed with her au naturel demeanor
The solitary abator bumps with illusions, thus far realisms high. 
 
Elated with...

The daytime radiation changed the forenoon breeze
And the windows were kept close
Flames hemmed in my room from the furnace terrasse
Brought my afternoon snooze at dispose. 

Abounded myself from my brazier bed and stepped on the...

Every being must be captivated by something
what else draws so much passion if not football?
Watch me scream and dance as I give my all.

Colours show emotions and personality
purity and stain best observed when white

Bedeviled by the world so brutal

Baseless towards one among the nation
Still the only one to conform every time of year - 
Once in a blue moon

Morality’s general
with an intimidating aura 
and a commanding presence;
this charisma’s description 
is a single lane void of corners
written in a dictionary 
consisting of a single page.
Blamelessness so standardized 
to be empirical
and ruthless to liberalism.
Pragmatism functions...

Youth seemed an eternal joy
for a gorgeous and happy boy...
no worries over necessities,
with desires without sequence.


The fear of dying was far from pondering,
only beautiful days ahead for the youngest heart....
longing for a tenderness other teenagers...

Showing a whim, a fancy or grin
are typical expressions of children,
adults deviate from pragmatism
and pay more attention to realism...
while eagerness and enthusiasm
take us further than anything imagined,
or even something previously envisioned!

Transform your impossibility into something...

It has come to be all so apparent,
That life is so bleak and desolate.
My world has fallen over with nothing to remain.
Oh, how I long to once again,
Be in that ignorant bless,
So that I may...

"Do I still matter?" I lament, in quiet despair,
As kindred acquaintances vanish, dissolved in thin air.
Solitude clots the cistern, blocks my spirit's flow;
Collateral damage obscures the expansive panorama's glow.

Vision dims, and trembling hands do falter.
Crutches...

IF I COULD CHANGE ONE THING

If I could change just one thing,
I wouldn’t aim too high.
I doubt if I could save the world,
However hard I try.

I wouldn’t tackle climate change
That’s warming up the sea.
I’d do...

Walking on the dirt byway, stumbling upon a green forest highway…   Pragmatism 
would say, “From this dirt path do not stray.”   Curiosity abound, I follow the 
majestic eagle flying high above...

What an unusual pragmatism conundrum.
We drum in our kids a sense of quantum.
Then, a few days later, we express our pain,
When we gaze on persons with the same stain.

We maintain tabs on the culprits responsible,

Guided by pragmatism
My feet are firmly grounded
However, my mind oft-time takes flight
What things I see are a pure delight.

My thoughts do fly on occasion
Wandering so far and wide
The Valley of Kings sent out a call
