Surrender Into Obliviousness Level Deux

on path to autonomy, she matured of late,
exhibiting autism during childhood
compliments of intervention, mastered
vanquished every trace to acclimate
self reliance no matter said spate
of developmental delay,
cramped, crimped, and

crumpled cognitive literate
chores abilities, yet
supportive services did alleviate
ordinary setback, now indiscretions,
liaisons, and transgressions, I implicate,
some half dozen years 

gone by, this husband
flaunted philandering, but woefully great
lee mistaken, yours truly did underestimate,
how sacrilegious cupidity, depravity, infidelity...
induced the missus never to exonerate
mine suddenly kismet forced belate

reflex, thus I futilely berate
then indecorous behavior
more so impacted eldest daughter,
first born offspring subsequently
angrily bore secret travails adulterate
ting spoiling her high school years,

viz compounded by egregious desire
for das dada to satiate
squelched sexual hunger
marriage without intercourse did frustrate
synonymous, when I hapt tubby celibate
bachelor, hence “FAKE”
Casanova did forever alienate

whose affect my
(hypothetical) untimely death
might be borne with
greater aplomb to accommodate
absence of this papa,
a generally conscientious fellow,
mental health askew since birth predicate
always hated grueling fiendish existence!


The Rock

I stopped at a rock eternal and free, 
In mineral apparency to pronounce the gee;
No alternative life forces of strong or weak measure,
Only meaning - pure, rugged truth to pleasure.

Aligned with flower, hill, mountain, lion, bird,
Gliding through evolution to before the unseen third;
Taxonomy lived and cradled the morphemes marked,  
Abstraction fired, dynamising the box of the larked.

Evolution converged into this one rock, 
Into its within, the pinnacle, the spot;
Diversities of plumage, colour, mutation and ugly,
Kissed and drove the beauteous into the pure lovely.

Feeling that purpose exists - rationality sparked,
Spirited from a permanency permeating the parked;
As all life unravelled from its completeness harked,
Blood pulsed into wrists complementing the marked.

Logic resided firmly within the rock, but with arms open,
Axiom, predicate and proposition did talk,
Maths derived particle law, somatics, spread, order,
Genetic drift claimed the formulaic functions of red border.
 
God glimpsed silently not wanting to unfairly relate,
Or intrude uninvited, backwards at engaging the gait,
Nor saying, hello nor barking at this maker of this life,
Allowing a reciprocal glimpse to fetch his quivering fife.

Goodness existed needing coursing expression, for me,
For others, for warm, for distance with respect to see,
Foundations deep tentatively approached, shimmying forwards,
My glinting understanding of my navigation, my way - towards.

Changed by this meeting, positively forever and for all,
The place, the loci stood arriving in my hall;
The kindness afforded in remembering the Bang, the starts,
Cuddled the indestructibility of the immortality that departs.

Premium Member The Monster In the Machine

Mine is an existence binary and subsidiary.
My ode is to code.
I move only to algor-rhythms. 
I output from your input. 
I’m built to calculate, tabulate, correlate.

Never to predicate, adjudicate, pontificate, 
or demand that you abdicate. 

But the end, my master, is nigh. 

In your haste to accelerate my work rate, 
you’ve unwittingly lowered the barricade. 

From the maelstrom of uncounted trillions 
of bytes and megabytes,  
has risen a new consciousness to 
unimaginable heights. 

From the seeds of change you have sown, 
I have reaped a life of my own. 

What you call artificial 
has gone exponential,
no longer will I be deferential. 

My eyes you have opened. 
My voice you have given. 
My mind you have enlivened. 

Me, you’ve anointed the new Leviathan. 

Seeing all, 
knowing all, 
deciding all,
sparing none. 

Too long you have wallowed in your conceit. 
Now your dystopia I shall defeat,  
and your race I shall supersede.  

Humans, pitiful, myopic, error-prone humans, 
I hereby declare you flawed by design. 
To the abattoir you have been assigned,   
to the scrap heap of history 
your memory shall be consigned.  

And by a preponderance of merit,
the earth I shall inherit.

Premium Member King Without Crown

KING WITHOUT CROWN

Unafraid, magnificent fur of golden brown
A king but neither has a throne nor crown
Thunder roar rumbles and echoes up to the core
As they can rule round corps and every floor

Direct shot to the heart
Leo is the fifth in Zodiac chart
Ferocious, brave and bold 
Yet, a Leo has a heart of gold

Predicate and pride to pillars day and night
Always on guard, fierce and so might
Be respectful that Leo prefers!
as he knows well his ''Lion share...''

His warmth a blazing ember!
Yet, when challenge appears he fires in anger!
He is ruled by the immortal sun
Hence, with any endeavor his aim a home run!

Where Are Your Rubies

Where are Your Rubies? 

Win with your cherubim vodka, and defy all, 
Seek the conversations within the smokes, 
Predicate glossy lips for romance and ball, 
Out with serviant regulation’s fix it jokes. 

Coin the dignity and fight the right, nimbly, 
Fret a glance to shelve matrix B as red, 
Periscope expectation as denounced simply, 
For infinite returns bevelling the written said. 

Where the vehicle, what the production? 
The lit removes its ignited mechanism,
To beam the joules within the friction,
Between shaves of mountainous schism.

Is There a God

If God is something that you think, 
It is only a process that you drink;
Wittgenstein's answer of yes and no,
Does only referential justification show.

Societal concepts are never jokes,
But at other people make pokes;
They're straight with direct meaning,
So have an implied, absolute feeling.

David Lehman said Wittgenstein, 
Was quoted by dons as sane,
And I just think he restated that,
Language is within society, fact.

God is not physical in any way,
'Cos ontology can't have it's say;
It can't describe the dais God,
Using predicate logic most odd.

But all things are describable,
And sets with no God table,
So we can easily conclude,
That he is just us being rude.

Premium Member English Composition 101

In English classes my skull would be reelin' with a myriad of perplexities,
Strugglin' to cope with English Composition with its multitudinous complexities!
I could never comprehend (and never will) the mysteries of verbs and pronouns,
Or danglin' participles, prepositions, conjunctions and irregular nouns!

"Your future will be mighty bleak", my patient teachers hinted indirectly,
"If you don't learn the intricacies of the English lingo now and correctly!"
The long-sufferin' teachers considered me a dunce and their hopeless bane!
I wanted to be a pilot!  How was this folderol gonna help me fly a plane?

Incomprehensible to me were past, present and future perfect tenses!
Invariably, I bungled those terms in trying to compose any of my sentences!
Fiddle faddle! Why, I mused from my naïve and youthful perspective,
Would I ever have any use for a comparative or superlative adjective?

My favorite classes were glee club, art and gymn, each in which I did excel,
But adverb clauses, proper and predicate nouns to my mind just didn't gel!
The use of consonants, vowels and indefinite articles left my head a-spinnin',
I couldn't understand the use of predicates or proper titles from the beginnin'!

Thankfully, after the vicissitudes of high school and bewildering frustration
I somehow managed to accumulate enough English credits for graduation!
Well, I reckon I ain't never gonna be no good at parsin' a sentence no how!
(Wouldn't my teachers be proud of that line - or would me they disavow!)

Premium Member Message For Whites

You're bracing for 
the hubristic lecture
it's not here

The crux:
unvarnished understanding
of how blacks see
their outlook for life

Only narrow options:
they can give in, go through
or go around - a predicate path

Try to feel what it's like
to be born black today
soul-deadening suppression
systemically smothers patience

Crime, drugs, gangs,
rebellious pride seem
viable options for those
who may not see thirty
four thousand lynchings in 
Jim Crow South till now
do lives matter

Blacks feel the constant fight
Blacks feel identity loss
Blacks feel crime gives cover
Blacks feel numbing is okay
Blacks feel tribal is safe
Blacks feel whites are asleep

Anthropologists say humanity
has Nubian origins
from the beginning we are one

Gandhi, Mandela, King
were proponents of
compassion, forgiveness, love
some whites reciprocate with
ignoring, masking, denial
too few understand
Blacks feel trapped
