Long Publicized Poems

Today is assiduously
religiously different,
as I review our local RiverEast News.

Every week
Mike Thompson writes a solid Editorial
in a compelling voice.
I expect to only add
my hearty sacred
happy secular "Amen!"

Our nearly fearless Editor and Chief
calls for political "ACCOUNTABILITY!"

This isn't the way we should walk into this
And my SOS signal didn’t seem to bring God into it
Just like shaking people's hands doesn't gift us world peace 
And speaking of shaking hands,
You're in a...

Kenneth Cloke
historically outlines the widening and deepening
and merging and submerging
of elite/non-elite
publicized/privatized ego/eco-politicians.

Earth's perennial health/pathology contests
lie between LeftYang domination
over-powering RightYin suppression;

Slowly at matriarchal pre-historic first,
then, now, much more quickly
and Western invasively,

From slave-owner v slave,
to kleptocratic aristocracy...

The most awaited result got publicized, but
Internet hadn't landed the soil of my country.
Televisions were tabled in few pocketed places,
Still they worked, minute and achromatic.

With huge audience circling, signal was word alien,
Viewers would holler in...

If truth had a color,
when twilight bleeds 
burgundy rivers,
you’ll find these garnet 
eyes pleading
to be heard through 
poetic sunsets. 
For I’ve been swirling 
and twirling
through nomadic illusions,
like a goddess of 
thunder with a tiger spirit,
never...

Taking wide-eyed listeners from a valley floor
To peaks in the sentinel Himalayas
So how could such holy men’s tales betray us

Startling climbers on mountains so...

How far have we fallen into this abyss, to let things get like this?
What did we miss?
Are we not all, in this great myth of make this or that great again? 
Lacerated with this hated...

I am in charge of a nominating committee.
I nominate what I believe the entire nation should eat,
and I nominated cheeseburgers and was supported by the democratic party.
Fried Chicken has always been a favorite of the...

I lost;
The strength my words willed,
The musings my words instilled,
When you bowed out;
The publicized emotion my face bore for you,
Swimming the skies we spoke of, so blue,
Rhythm and notes were never effortless,
Sensing the bass like...

This sudden warped concern for ampule, 

the cruel force of world dictators,

these psychological taunt of the media, 

Nescient chemists controlling our minds,  

tycoons uttering lies in egoistic motives,

these pretentious drama of publicized jabs,
 
enhancing...

There is no sin but ignorance. (Christopher Marlowe)

Sin is the failure of an imperfectly made being to keep a perfect law. (Matthew Pearl-"The Dante Club")

ASSUMPTION:
Sin does not exist
Until or unless
It is publicized.

PRESUMPTION:
Public scandal
Is what makes
A...

  Spoken said
Verbalized declared enunciated
Given aired voiced
Brought out whispered
Proclaimed commented
Blurted breathed broadcasted

SPOKEN

Asserted affirmed promulgated
Spoken truths and untruths
Advertised where am I to be casted
Publicized overwhelmed subdued demoralized

BROKEN

Talked discussed uttered thrown up despaired
Vented broadcast gasped phrased...

Light at the end of the tunnel is an old clichet that imparts wisdom

I went to hear a writer read
And boy, was I surprised!
The attendance was quite sparse, despite
It being publicized.

I love her writing, read her books
And it was so exciting
To see her in the flesh and listen
As...

Embellished, shined, publicized

Listen! You must abide laws. (Seize!)

The narrative of freedom, a screen.

Adore something you know nothing about

Honey like texture of sweat and sour

Fools your taste of flavor, makes you...

It is inspirational
 to read and watch people
 heroes, stars, saints overcoming hardships and trials
 and not succumbing to the darkness.

The truth is
 there are so many, a multitude of unsung, unknowns
 awe inspiring, ordinary,...

In realms of cyberspace, I fly
searching out treasures in disguise
skirting advertised merchandise
the ordinary, the overemphasized
to anatomize the marginalized
values overlooked otherwise
on the dusty, neglected, virtual aisles
of small sites not over-commercialized
or google ranked and over-publicized
some unexpected payoffs...
