Long Renaming Poems

"I do not see what right any one would have
to object to calling this part 
[the South American mainland], 
after Americus 
who discovered it 
and who is a man of intelligence, 
Amerigen, 
that is, the...

Test many people are unaware this
 relishing the thought
 Many things have been purchased and bought
 what is a human a thing
 Unless my color is my being
Been birth and born
Shackled dragged and torn
Been a...

If we could sing
of futures searched

If we might ring
with resonant sacred research,

outside reconnects
ego-remembers
from dreams of Ancient Paradise

Each unfolding chapter heading
becomes retitled
unentitled revival
as we pass

Renaming Future Searches

There was a humming sound 
Hornet Honeys were in town 
Promoted by the media as a new found 
Getting the buzz

Looking for interlocking rings

Give a man a sea-kitten,
And you feed him for a day.
Teach a man how to sea-kitten,
And PETA will make him pay.

We’re gonna eat them either way,
Because the message here...

Garden catalogs call them this, it is not a name I made up.  They are beautiful, but also strangling.
They have strangled three crepe myrtles, and...

Cronus would never be defeated, or so he thought.
Zeus, Hades, and Poseidon a lesson taught.

Poseidon became father of floods, hurricanes, storms, all three.

He somehow also grabbed...

Mans grand grime: age old
When the earth was stew.
Before eternity was logged...
To keep track of the passing seasons.
Man dwelled with the Great Soul of Creation.
Man was free in mind...
Questioned his existence.

the last election we ever had

for on that day
a month before 
the corona virus re-emerged

as the great re-opening

History Repeats Itself
By: Miracle Man
6/27/2020

As past sins are remembered,
and while restitution/revenge is being sought,
evil upon the world is wrought.
History is incontrovertible,
yet history is being erased/altered.

By allowing statues to be torn down, 
portraits removed, flags changed,...

Next Memorial Day
  Let's remember all those deceased
Their blood on the hands of those
  Who sold us 'Defund the Police'

We'll rename July Fourth

Let the il-Liberty Bell toll

It seems to me the narrowest minds, 
Are the minds full of gripe, whinge and moan,
The minds that darken every simple idea, 
Complaining about things on their own,

With a simple outlook on their universe, 
Everything’s...

My mind has gone for the day,
Changed to a colour that’s drained of a will, 
Drained to a light shade of grey,

And I know what I want, I know what...

History is what it was
By: Miracle Man
10/9/2018

History is the recording of our past events,
But now there are those with desire to change.
When we allow this we’re setting precedents,
By misrepresenting facts that they rearrange;

We can’t omit...
