Premium Member Factoidman and Shallowman - Part 2
[Now ShallowMan is quite content
receiving FactoidMan’s consent
to quibble and express dissent
as long as keeping covenant
with fingers crossed and belfry bent
when viewing Facts in sealed cement:]

those ‘truths’ your chuckles supplement;
although they...

Premium Member Earth Governance
Discerning one's universal right of conscience
forms comprehensive unitarian consciousness.

Or so we future hope
recognizing self-governing justice requires trust
in each eternal past moment's empathic truth,
rooted back in organic time
anchored in universal consciousness,
bicameral intelligence,
systemic awareness,
multicultural understanding

Universal awareness is

Science and Creation
A span of questions fogs the mind of man. 
Some famous thinkers wonder; is there God?
Was man formed by chance or by divine plan?
If not by God, the Bible is a fraud.
Yes, Big Bang Theory...

I will not hurry
I'm just concerned and I want the best for you

The Northern Powerhouse - Ode To Gideon
Gideon in his high viz vest
Trying his best 
To look like those 
Who graft for work
Forgetting we have a long tradition 
Of this in the North  

He doesn’t pass for a man 
Who could...

Vultures Circling
Wherever there is carcass, there the vultures will gather -
Jesus stated this; there is nothing in this to blather;
There are reasons when eagles fly around; pointing danger?
Indicating birds or animals or human stranger...?

An Ode To Jenni Mann
Oh an ode to jenni mann 
To write an ode, oh an ode to jenni mann
Would be good, and proper. 
Fitting.

Fitting, not like the clothes your distant aunty gets you.
They never fit. 
Ill-fitting
Unlike writing an...

The red harvest moon shines deeply with its eerie light
Somewhere in distant galaxies stars are burning bright
The equinox is here this night
The countenance of mystery enshrouds this site

The wind whispers gently among ancient oaks

Where has all the water gone?
What is not poisoned is now in poor supply…
They call it “fracking,” a way of trapping
gas or oil for fuel to meet demands of energy.

A notion by the starry-eyed from the start:
“Follow the truth which lies in your heart.”

The Mirror
Stuck in an existence that you don't 
belong
Why were you chosen for this time and

Look in the mirror you see a different 
reflection
Can't even decide what makes you happy 
Nothing but a sellout is...

What Happens When the Moon Falls In Love With the Sun
I see him across the
orbit,
Creating time in
mesmerizing circles,
Always so far from
me
Always so near.

We dance.

A lonely dance—
A tormenting dance,
Where we can never
touch
Nor; ever be apart.

The universe gave us
this gift,
Intertwining our
souls for an
eternity.
The universe gave us
this curse,
Extending...

Sister In-Law C To C
The destiny in a stirred syrup. A two-string one. 
Condensed, sticky and uncomfortably glued to a cause. 
A mono in nature. 
Like a skilled handyman, 
with a must to-do space. 
A shared space.

Premium Member Twin Souls
There is an emptiness
that knows another's emptiness
two voids that cannot be seen
the feeling of an abyss
darkness with no meaning

Existential Longings
for voices 
that cannot be heard
a neverending anguish
that cannot be expressed in words

The beating of one's...

This world that I call mine
The same one we all call ours
Is a most beautiful place;

To grow our own food, to share it
With others, to receive water
From its skies,
To build upon...

Looking up at all the lights that you can't appreciate
Among the city life I wonder:
What's out there; who's out there for me?
From what I do the thoughts remain in constant circulation.
From what I write will...

H2o
The planet oxygen 
Contained two constant 
Continents called H, 
Both covalently bonded, 
Similar in shape, surviving 
In a scheme far superior than 
The disparity that dawned 
Between them. 
One believed in steam, 
While the other...
