Premium Member Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene -- from Georgia



Representative Marjorie Taylor Greene
would love to rip out your spleen
if Trump’s not the center of your world.
Her radical convictions she has loudly unfurled.

That she’s antisemitic is true
and, it seems, white supremacist too.
   She has praises for Putin.
   For some murders, she’s rootin’.
Certain Democrats make up this queue.

She speaks of family values and her Christianity,
then spews out venom. That hate is wrong, she cannot see.

Here’s one conspiracy theory that thrives in Greene’s head:
JFK Jr’s death was a Hillary “Clinton murder”~~that’s what she said!

                                 Radical notions vitalize deflated zest

                                 Complex neurons modern human attest

                                 Cynics gravitate towards mystic light

                                 Renewed optimism raises cosmic insight


                                 Sky emanate sapphire fused with cream

                                 Revelation seized otherworldly dream

                                 Incredulous stares behold a godly scene

                                 Oglers venerate intergalactic machine


                                 Space travelers abandon Blue Cocoon

                                 Vessels navigating beyond crescent moon

                                 Perpetuity portends irrefutable dismay

                                 Amid time continuum all atoms will decay






       ***Nobody panic! because it will take countless billions of decades 
             plus one year, before all atoms disappear!!***

Pleasant Spring Like Day January 12th, 2020

Pleasant spring like day January 12th, 2020

Courtesy climate change
(think global warming),
I would never wish to exchange
unseasonable temperature
way out of range
far to balmy, undoubtedly
ole man winter
weather did shortchange.

Once thermometer readings rise
even smidgen one moost not minimize
Earth way out of balance,
I haint gonna catastrophize
as bajillion acres plus

one after another ocean dries
even the skeptic cannot turn
blind eye and believe contrary lies
when every species practically extinct
and self proclaimed éminence grise

doth trumpet and stubbornly tries
to claim plethora unearthed resources
as sudden goldmine
against wages of sin
former traitor joe redeemers actualize

to catalyze nth industrial revolution
teaching as heresy
ecocentric, which material basket
of deplorables power mongers bowdlerize

Concurrence toward meteorological
trend most all people agree
toward adapting, experiencing,
and witnessing increase -

fair in height degree
bestowed upon Thomas Newcomen,
Richard Arkwright, Samuel Crompton,
Edmund Cartwright
and James Watt first Industrial

Revolution conferred as honoree
appellation not necessarily
in retrospect donned as noble pedigree,
now hundred of years

later downside we see
of belching, coughing,
disorging... yes siree
foul, (née deadly)
cancerous, gaseous, noxious... pollutants.

Decreased dissension 
grudgingly did abate
unclouded protests trumpet
Trump to abdicate
irrefutable proof generates
activist voices to accumulate
linkedin over Green Party 
blessedly to administrate

hoop fully figurative tide
will turn and aerate
political atmosphere whereby
progressive minds will affiliate
otherwise business as usual,
cuz spewing deadly particulate
will only aggravate
dire straits, where series

of unfortunate events will airdate
prophetic apocalyptic fate
especially if nonprogressive
stodgy commander in chief re-elected
flush with bigotry and hate
increased chance (chants) ripe state
for revolution avast swath
of population to amalgamate,

and overthrow anachronistic government
absolute zero survival unless dramatic
nondestructive strategy eschewed
to supplant exploitation and mandate
radical transformation, which dramatic
shift off grid if lucky requisite
Earth friendly manufacturing
can possibly ameliorate.

Premium Member Rant With a Slant

I challenge you to a rhetorical
to prove me wrong else be unconventional 
‘bout a problem that’s gone systematical
everyone’s so radical and cynical   
once burnt all swear to now be rational
petrified to be poetical and get physical  
relationships always problematical
they start off superficial hardly practical 
usually nonsensical and contradictional
end up analytical emotional or psychological   
enigmatical fanatical or plain lethargical
sometimes as wild as satanical
yet sure enough it’s almost typical 
it’s really absurdly comical
the inevitable becomes the eventual
you go and fall and it’s unconditional
starts off all angelical and sensational
turns out illogical and territorial
often becomes tyrannical  
immoral and unethical 
then cryptical and diabolical   
there has to be something remedial
it’s just too tragical 
how we now prefer to be online virtual
we might as well be asexual
because there’s no sense being sensual
we’re all too freak’n skeptical
to believe in the magical and supernatural
do you have a comeback what’s in your arsenal  
or are you just too visceral
or too darn busy being metaphysical

Happy Birthday Matthew Scott Harris After Birth

Once placenta and fetal membranes
(unnecessary as wing ding)
discharged out uterus
after birth of offspring,
and thar weren't no more
major contractions in the offing
ma mommy lovingly did cling
to her bundle of joy and bring

maternal breast I ravenously
did suckle fortunately toothless
against her tender bosom trickling
(if mammary serves me correctly)
I presently recall no iota of inkling
what events transpired, nope
no recollection about me circumcising.

Moost likely I felt Jew bull lent
glad yours truly chose decent
mother and father, which opinion
subjected to radical change,
when as grown adult child
living nonsocial under

their roof forced to hire agent
provocateur to practice sparring,
when standoff event on horizon,
which eventually begat ultimatums
their red hot poker rage spent
belittling, cursing, damning...

quiet as Unitarian Church mouse content
internalizing later smoldering
anger I needed to vent
in retrospect diminutive little boy
tied to mama's apron strings
afflicted with mental

health issues inherent
of course hindsight gleaned
social, psychological, neurological...
healthy development got rent
asunder partly explaining
why I became indigent.


All You Radicals

For all you radicals, there is a time to stand up and shout

Refuse to belong to those that choose the easy way out 

For what purpose would he decree, when G-D granted us life

If not to stand firm and avoid all forms of strife


I'm a radical, to this I must admit

Always looked upon differently, as if I'm unfit

But why follow others who think they suffice

To control everyone else with the roll of their dice


Having gone through alot, one begins to discern

There's a time for discipline, and a time for concern

Stand up and be counted, you alone have begun

To realize you can be different, and still be as one 


All you radicals, to you alone do I salute

Your ways may be different, but none could refute

Imagine our world, without you, what it would be 

A place where individuality could never ever be Free....

Premium Member The Dimension of Love

On a balmy evening, I was out enjoying a walk,
Admiring the flowers and scenery on my block;

Moonlight poured, and nobody else was about,
Because I had become restless, I had gone out.

Fireflies were dancing, reminiscently green,
As roses recall to mind the past beauties seen!

I inhaled a deep breath of the fragrance air,
And then I noticed something lingering there!

A bright red, glowing orb, above the treetops,
Shooting colored lights, like so many gumdrops!

Before I could think, those beams shot my way,
And I lit up, like the most glorious new day!

There was no pain, but I did feel very strange,
As if I had gone through a very radical change.

That's why I decided to return home and sleep,
For that is quite essential when the shadows peep!

Upon waking the next day, I was rested and calm,
And very changed in perspective-nature's balm!

But when I went to the mirror to put on my face,
In lieu of my own image, was a big smiley face! 

Then, in total shock, I looked out of the window,
And saw strawberry trees in the sunshine's glow.

I saw purple clouds and polka dot striped flowers,
The myriad color blends could captivate for hours!

Familiar houses were brightened with all gay hues,
As the people interacted with a kindness very new;

Curious, I explored this extradimensional earth,
So much like my own, but not the world of my birth!

While in my garden, I saw my neighbor next door,
"Hi, neighbor!" she said. Then I wasn't a visitor!

I knew at once that we would again be good friends,
Where there's loving good will, the joy never ends!

Since then, I've traveled this beauty world over,
And all over such harmony, as if love is composer!

Like the midnight serenade of a moonstruck bluebird,
A song not so beautiful until once it's truly heard!

Premium Member Joy of the Lord

Joy of the Lord

Joy refuses to hide or wear a disguise
 Bouncing brightness – bliss on springs;
Dances on tiny toes of fiery flamencos
 No colorless embraces –knows the steps;
No shadows of grey in its cloak
 Only shades of clearest light;
Incandescent transcendence of perpetual motion
 Never slumbers – never needs a nap;
Always nascent nativity 
 Breaths renewal Son powered battery;
Inventor of jubilation - Hallelujah ecstasy –
 Gloria elation -Praise euphoria;
Benediction of merry mirth
 Speaks beatitudes of delicious delight;
Glee on wheels – rocking and rolling
 Merriment like twilight candle light;
Clowns around with hilarity
 Pals around with happiness of the moment;
Radical hospitality not a fleeing ghost
 Permanent wave – permanent eternal smile;
Never absent – resonating generosity
 A little craziness of an upside down emoji;
Stares down petulant, whining faces
 Welcome mat always out;
Enthusiasm invades invasion of jocularity
 Happiness revolution resolution;
Pirouettes in peaceful promises
 Precious plentiful pearls of shining wonder;
Taps on windowpanes with eternal enrapture
 Always available to dance;
Unrestrained tail wagging exuberance
 Springing up with blinking lights – can’t wait to bless;
Bright eyes tickle the deepest marrow
 Strength tousles somber cores with joy:
Joy inhales moments of transparent gladness -
 Exhales a sparkling galaxy of glimmering satisfaction!

Lucid

12/30/20


Feeling like a human
Trying to avoid financial ruin
With marijuana and alcohol, I've been abusive

Yet I've still been lucid
Not completely useless
Despite me being foolish

To me music
Is rather therapeutic

I'm feeling like an actual
Animal
Evolving and being adaptable
Not concerned with capital
Or being impractical
Close and far from objects that are flammable

Life going up, down and diagonal
People are weirdos, like Hannibal
Happy to be a cannibal

I'm fallible
Feeling detachable
Or radical
Among items considered 'taxable'

Got the job done by being rational
Not tyrannical
What I learned and experienced is invaluable

Premium Member Individualistic

Not who you was but whom is portrayed 
We all with evil, pulpits shouts redemption rise 
Every is entitled to redeem heart of the soul 
Upon themselves the desire to want change 
Among mist of our depths lays stories, secrets 
Darkness evil hidden away torcher's pain 
Taught morals, respect, one looks for in another 
The kindness of being promoting good will 
What is it we are except what we allow 

That we have become radical civilization of hate 
War falls upon the lips, riots destroy instead unite 
Purpose of government not meant to control 
But overseer of different law of land we bury 
For our own good, forsaken all we stand 
While hiding behind image of world our steps 
All desiring riches, the promised way to life 
But you can not find purpose with close eyes 

Among starry skies, dreams of reality hopes 
We fly flags, liberation to freedom rights 
Each fighting against another even ourselves 
We call for change just defile objective to be 
Like selling your soul, price we give to breath 
But does one die in vain their doing 
Where does the soul go that live this breathe 
But he be a better man than the world his journey
