Neglecting Democratic Health
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

Rise Above It
A man who lacks a sleep schedule.
In a home that houses not only him

His daughter who comes equipped with
Her very own mother too
Honey girl rises with the sun and sets with...

A Matter Of Faith
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...

Deep Listening Communions
"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

Burdening
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...

Go cast a spell of fistful rice, outcasted!
Go cast a spell of fistful rice, outcasted!
Hunger and me, a writhing unruly,
a belly, a body
Feels the gluttony, every time, an omnivorous hungry
Like a scarcity of rain turns slowly a character poem
Into an inferno,

The Trials of Meretrix Canto Vi
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...

Foreign Restaurant
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...

Un-Holy War
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”.

A Friendly Exoneration
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...

Crossroads
His two years old son
Needed treatment for stomach pain
But he had no money
His wife needed to pursue
Her BA course

I can't help he would say
I must be happy with what I have

Conflicting Commitments
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

to love,
to non-violence,
to cooperative ownership and management,

The Wind Rose
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

Million Men March

When Deniers Stoke the Fires
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...

On the Bottom Shelf
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 (Angel of Sadness)
A Family Man

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

Saga City
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

The Watchers
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,

another's demise into...

Ode To Bad Attitude
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...

Tranquility's Mystery
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...
