IN THE UNIVERSE. 
WITH VARIOUS SHAPES , SIZES, DEPTHS, PERCEPTIONS AND DIMENSIONS.
SOME ARE LOCKED, RESTRICTED, REPELLING AND REPULSIVE.
OTHER'S UNLOCKED AND OPENED WITH CURIOSITY.
SOME DOORS LEAD INTO...

It was quite a surprise to us
when monsters came out of the night,
the beasts and bad guys of legends
who for so long gave us a fright.

We thought they lived on movie screens,
pulpy books, and local...

Each holy man there is, is convinced he's better than the next,
as his right hand tightly clasps prayer beads, whilst he judges others with his left.
Piety the reason that he wakes up every day,
just to...

Why, the greatest enemy of man is man
for man has subdued everything else
Fear not the tiger, fear the murderer's plan
Just hearken well to what history yells!

At times twas jingoism, at times a rancorous desire to...

When their daughter asks them about the Renaissance, 
they’ll tell her about Da Vinci’s ‘Last Supper’, Andreas Versailus and Nicholas Copernicus but I wish them to tell her how Galileo Galilei was imprisoned by the...

The Magna Carta changed the rule of law,
That is, what the law was and who it was for, 
From being a simple, dashing validation of the king, 
To being about truth, reason and justice free-standing....

Throughout life I've been used and abused,
like the others when I look around.
Wondering how we've become so confused,
why our screams make not a sound.

How the world keeps turning each day,
as death and war go on.
Thinking...

[This poem took its inspiration from a sonnet by Charles Hamilton Sorley, When you See Millions… The sonnet was in a collection of writing about World War One.] 

Of war I read
The poems, the pain,...

The Age of Man

We carried on
The age of man
Till moon of tin bore
An electric sun

And all machines 
Shone bright and clean
Keeping silent
But wanting more

Till the purpose mind
Did loose its time 
In idle waves lament
Through prostitution...

Dear,

Dear,

Dear... Whoever this is too.

The collective unconscious, the universal "you".

Anybody who's listening,

I thought, but I never knew.

I Swallow, before I chew,

I'm a swallow who never flew.

Like how Jesus Christ was a Jew, and Islam preaches,...

I wonder what it means
we are a multicultural species
still capable of waging war,
employing ballistic terrorists,
investing in capitalism's ruthless game
of surgical monopoly
to become patriarchs of bloodied mountains,

This feels related,
perhaps co-arising,
with inability to distinguish
an ecology of natural...

Emperor

Happy news came from royal imperial agents of his majesty
Printed on provincial paper of the day
The emperor will visit the village within the week
For the golden chrysanthemum event
To bless the cattle and the rice and...

My father fought in China and India as well,
my brothers served their country when Northern Ireland was in Hell,
I spent years in Malayasia when conflict then arrived
and of our troops who went to fight not...

The simplest of starts,
A decade of revolution,
When paternity and guidance drifted apart,
With leather jacket banners marked my breakout social intrusion,
To replace the sorrowful suits and camo bandannas,
Loathing the silver idols lining the streets peddling their...

True, I do practice the act of introversion quite a bit,
But why should I be blamed? To what am I to admit

When I am not the transgressor in question?
I am not typically one to act...

At the national picket of the unhappy
I see large crooked coins
Hoisted like placards above the irate crowd.
On the first face, I see immigrants & owls embossed,
And on the second, snakes & neighbors.
It's the coin they...

In this town is where I was born...
I use to play in these fields of corn...
In this place is where I use to sing with my mom...
We use to stay awake till  down...

A castle on the hill, a symbol resolute.
built upon the broken backs of the poor.
The hungry and homeless of this land.
Enslaved to build, a symbol they despise.

Vast extravagance, and the sturdiest of form.
Representing the empires,...

A 
Ball
see it rise
like a
balloon 
massive fire-disk reflects
sun on fine sheets of steel
skinned over heat foam all
connected on
a track of circles
pipes and control refined
layers gas filled
rise high into space
tanks compress gas
engines flare and drive toward
and...

Wisdom comes with age
So the old saying goes 
But so does dementia
As the world so sadly knows.
It’s so easy to be vociferous
Brave aggressive and bold
Deferring action to others
Just because they’ve  grown old

If Old Men...

The varnish cracks and peels away,
and little eruptions from below the surface
suppurates before us the underlying truth:

An animal awaits...nine meals from anarchy.

Deadlier than any other living thing,
prepared to kill anyone,
even its own kind.

No other creature...

The mind is the most powerful of them all.
As a matter of fact it's what makes the call.
But are we so blinded by what we see?
Caught in the news, tabloids, and the things on T.V.

The heart within pumps
The rich red royal fluid
And your body machine functions
Your creative, expansive mind
Concocts formulae
Deciding how your body organism 
Finds sustenance, enjoyment
And most of all avoids pain

The dreamer, you, perceive, create
As you build, block...

A cloak-and-dagger dance around honor 
Singing lowly to no one, she puffs her blue burqa

This pot I boil is much like me
A meal of warmed flesh waiting for a hunger to feed

There is mystery under...
