Long Rationalized Poems

I'm feeling some civil
democratic health
neglect

To re-member
monocultural anthropocentrism
is a mental health crisis

In our U.S. Win/Lose normative
miseducational systems,

In our anti-democratic
unhealthy parenting,
self caregiving,
uncare-receiving deformative win/lose
devolutionary anti-thesis

AntiMessianic
to prophecy ReGenerative Earth's unParadise demise,
ecologically degenerative
and theologically rationalized:

Earth isn't Heaven
as Nature isn't...

A man who lacks a sleep schedule.
In a home that houses not only him
But his very own mother
His daughter who comes equipped with
Her very own mother too

Honey girl rises with the sun and sets with...

When I was a child, I wondered

Was deep sleep, death?

Was every morning a new life, a new incarnation?

Waking up, I found the people around me were the same

I was the same too, nothing changed

This cannot...

"The deepening perception
of the body's illusory nature
is one of the most profound
and inspiring realizations
we can have
to help us let go [of dying bodies and minds].

Deep listening
of our mind's transition-illuminating
flowing nature
is one of the most profound
empowering
enlightening
and...

How 
Is it possible to harness energy sufficient for a simple mispronunciation?
Made from miscommunication...
at best.

At our best we tend to fear; succumbing to failure's hardship. 
Countered by an offensive degrade;
shortly mind-coming definition.
Afraid for conformity's confrontational...

Worth More Than My Weight In Gold
Wondering around this space in time looking for that someone special just to call mine.  Opening up my heart at every turn, giving freely instead of allowing the...

For you are to be held up in
Judgement
By they so empowered;
Whose hot genes spilled from
Incumbent towers
Upon a warring continent -
The Sovereign house thus 
Pared and deflowered!
Thinning the blue bloods flowing 
Within the veins of royal...

It is not like these restaurants in America 
with their sterile atmospheres: slick new furniture,
stylized art, ambient lights, and every angle 
rationalized to the judgment of specialized interests.
It is a restaurant filled with details, 
inviting...

It’s called “Holy War”, “Jihad”,
Murder in the name of God.
Don’t you think that’s odd?
But what is a “Holy War”?
But a contradiction in terms for sure.

Since Caine killed Able,
The cards on the table,
Read “Dead Man’s Hand”.
Blood...

Twinkly bunch with loaded school bags
Ambition injustice and itching their backs,
Cunning those faces in front of the gate
Heedful pupils well-chosen apparently late.  
A fistful primary breeziness
Shared with smiles, tears and silliness,
Together they brawled, together...

His two years old son
Needed treatment for stomach pain
But he had no money
His wife needed to pursue
Her BA course
He couldn't afford to
I can't help he would say
I must be happy with what I have
He would...

Where and when I find a commitment
to capitalism
to buying and selling Earth
to patriarchalism
to racism
to Western SWM LeftHemisphere cultural dominance
to win/lose global economic politics,

I do NOT find
a commitment to compassion,
to love,
to non-violence,
to cooperative ownership and management,
to...

If remembering  is hopeless, then it’s time to resign
But its easy to say, than to perform rightly 
Time shifts down slowly, crosses the final line
And red turns to brown, showing its time to flee
Who...

Million Man March 
Men of all sides tear the land apart
Marching band drums Bark
Trumpets blare Sparks
 Sitting in the back like Rosa Parks
See what's in the front that's Dark
Watching the sharks
The only flag we pledge...

When we start off
one rarely realizes
all the true scientific
downstream consequences
of our original acts

When we hear the key
click in the car's ignition
we know it revs up
the entirety of the
auto industry complex

When we go out 
to the...

He made me ponder my greatest fear
not ghosts nor goblins grinning ear to ear
The one that I really fear most 
is the one peering back from the mirror
Is he real or will he just disappear...

A Family Man

Lately I can see me providing for a family
But it's all weary thoughts aside from the demands in me
Why do this, why do that
Seems daily I lie dying on a tear soaked mat

We added to our concrete
And made life more abstract
We added to our substance
But life had no impact

We scraped the very sky
And built our progress tall, but-
What we fashioned with our minds
Was no progress at all

Tired of all the takers always finding myself surrounded by losers.

Wondering if there are any givers left in this fictional society 
we have built ourselves? 

Spending too much time reflecting on the limited sight of...

They stay in the background
 stating a useless union still self-centered
 powerless, ill-prepared, inept entity of promises,
 the verbiage of false hopes with all the dos and donts,

watching, waiting, predicting, and anticipating
 another's demise into...

I turn the key.
Was it even locked?
Gently, I nudged it open.
Finding myself alone again
was not to my liking.
Maybe I should have seen it coming.
But, I forced myself to sidestep the issue.
The hurried ending of calls...

Unsolved, uninhabited
The silence shattered it
Calm, cool, and collectiveness
Lay thy mind to rest
Therefore, refresh, in order not to digress
As sure as the Lord blessed
He taketh and replaceth
Knowing not what is lain for me
Understanding not how one...

Merely Choices 

Millions of hugs and millions of kisses are missing
So too those glorious days for reminiscing
Too many balls and too many dolls never played with
Sixty million laughing voices, silenced as merely choices

We now ride...

DOUGD.
Doug.				
A pity – a shrug
No good-bye party  not even a shake or a hug
Fall for all the system takes
Institutionalized
A programmed criminal – an imprisoned thug
Excuse and rationalized
Convicted lizards – parolee bug
Should have stuck with...

You have redefined my sexuality 
I could never fathom 
This is now my reality 
The stroke of your hand 
Let’s me know you are the only man 
Who can fulfill very desire 
And ignite this...
