The Last Truly Great Moment

Morning dewdrops
None of the subjects smile
Sweat through my shirt
Our grins, the only ones for miles

AC cooling off the room
For some, a stifling white tomb
Cool foam beneath my black shoes
Celebrating triple digit views

Burning embers
Insulated by 20% of a ton
Gripping future
A sandwich artist dreaming of being a janitor

Hey there, I'm not his brother
Do you dream of me more than the other?
Stark white against rainbow sheets
Does it sting seeing undented streets?

Office doesn't reek of sweat
Door taped shut to save your eyes
Wide open now that he is gone
Bleach spreading over your nice ties

80 degrees
Sun bright but leaving my skin just fine
Nine short hours
Devastation born of saving some time

Excuses to shoot both your friends
Capitalism; means to an end
Just eight short days
Maybe even fewer, who can say

A weekend miles above home
Not knowing I'd be cursed to roam
Ever hoping to live just like this
The greatest summer that I'd ever lived

Made me feel like I was important
Whole division made impotent
Flaccid against a changing tide
But this was chosen by design

Cardboard shelters me from wind
Twenty blades that I never spent
They don't really matter now
You can't buy mental health anyhow

Tell me that you needed me
I'd produce all your dreams for free
Come back and speak like in my dreams
Before COVID took this world from me

It's cold and it shouldn't be
Spring flowers making my world green
Just means more ticks crawl on me
I've truly nothing left to bleed

658 The 3rd Period of the Spanish Era of Philippine History: Revolts Against Spaniards

658.

The 3rd Period of the Spanish Era of Philippine History:

Revolts Against Spaniards



Despite the successful colonization by the Spanish government

Their subjects, both natives & creoles, became full of resentment

In government, economy & society, the Spaniards committed abuses

So there were uprisings & mutinies in several provinces



In government, oppression was done by Spanish authorities

So native rulers & tribes led uprisings in response to this

Native rulers like Sulayman & Lakandula, Malong & Almazan, Tomas & Ladia

Tribes like Irrayas & Zambals and conspirators in Tondo, Manila



In economy, because of taxes & tributes, monopoly & forced labor service

People & places subjects to these became to Spanish enemies

Against taxes & tributes were Magalat, Maniago, Silang & Palaris

Ilocos opposed wine monopoly, while Dabao & Sumuroy defied polo service



In society, there were rebellions for the sake of religion

And mutinies due to injustice & racial discrimination

Religious insurrections were led by Tamblot, Bankaw, Tapar & the Igorots

Mutinies for the creoles were led by Novales & the Bayots



This is the 3rd Period of Spanish Era – Revolts Against Spaniards

The valiant natives & creoles resorted to these amidst the hazards

Yet, despite of their blood & bravery, they virtually failed

God showed the Filipinos their flaws why the Spanish prevailed.

My Golden Doodle

He surveys his kingdom each day,
from Iron Gate to Wooden Wall.
Each leaf that falls and blade that sways,
his loyal subjects one and all.

The cattle grazing in the field,
the kittens nestled in the shed.
He knows each puddle and haystack,
where he can drink or make a bed.

With Snowball, the grand Pyrenees,
Seargeant, his faithful Shephard knight.
His trusty human on his leash,
he will sniff everything in sight.

Squirrels that frolic in the oaks,
rabbits that scurry through the grass.
Each know King George is at the helm,
and would stop to stare as he’d pass.

When to his castle he returns,
knowing all’s well within his land.
He’ll settle beside his master,
getting pets from his caring hand.

Premium Member The rebel

The rebel
 
Line of inquiry:
“Neither desire nor aversion 
Meditation our immersion
Conditioned beliefs discarded
Hymns we hum are our own version”


Strongly I feel, I am longing for “A” one;
Justly I be intense desire;
Personal how be it drawn;
I fight against authority;
I am hierarchy;

Best be believe in me;
Repugnance, to do paired said desire; 
Masting said, FIRE, 
 feelings of dislike, repugnance bio;
Unwillingness to do something see, 
One thing paired with a desire to turn away
Subject matter dismantled, swayed 

Such a soul dissident, I am a maverick;
Under baptism totally involved in an activity,
 or subjects matters;
Deeply I am focus;
Midst the Hocus-Pokus;
Hymnos be still my Song of Praise;
Earth and Heaven raise my name;

Purpose of adoration, I be of royal deity;
I am the Him in Hymn, really!
worship someone or something through song;
Not conceited, I’m exceeded
 A Revolutionary nonconformist just an Insurgent
Never am I ever flaw, nor wrong;

Premium Member A Mortal Man Unveil Nature's Rule

Are we tedious, given the camera's dexterity?
Requiring what our reasons tell us to escape. 
The topic's dualism generates disparity. 
Using these subjects to symbolize "reshape" 
I'll dig them up and bid farewell, verity. 

Desire and aversion avert the soul's clemency.
Cynical evil hinders delight from spreading,
You foster anchoring and hedonistic tendency.
Happiness shrinks as expectation embedding.
If you're an oddity, then bear the pendency.

The realm of light is infinite and over pure.
Ethical glow would rouse delight and bliss. 
Lack of egoism defines the core of the cure.
Aversions and desires give a lead to the abyss. 
Wants are sheer unless mingled with body lure.

Being selfless is fun, and it's fun to be free.
Life on earth grants a test of love and fear. 
Freedom is devoid of craving and worry.
What drives sadness, fear, and smear?
Desire only fuels a broader wishful story.

Redundancy

6/12/20


What time is it?  It's time to get some money

Think harder, Stop being a dummy

Beating a dead horse, only the first time it was funny

With me, don't try to get all chummy


At one point, my life was crummy

Now, I'm turning it around, working on recovery


Whether cloudy, snowy, windy or sunny


Feeling like I got more animals than human buddies

My cup is always muddy

I don't like my eggs too runny

I'm into you girl, you're sweeter than honey

Is it all going to end slowly or abruptly?

For many, certain subjects are touchy


To put it bluntly

I desire a woman that will love me

But how can I, if I'm a weed and alcohol junkie


At times I've been fortunate or unlucky

In a world, that can be beautiful yet also ugly


I'm lonely, I'd like some company

Too bad, I really thought she was the one for me


Feeling strangely different, suddenly
In the end, I aim to come out triumphantly
I refuse to live a life of redundancy

 

People just love to rant
And leave their stamp

I get relief from a plant
To make up for all the love I lack
The end result, could be lungs that are black


I consider myself a decent chap
Unlike all these other cats
Many of which are whack

Individuals still talking crap
Just about everything they say is cap


In a place so vast
This life moves fast
Far too long, I felt like an outcast
And was downcast
Now I plan to outlast



Resources were scant
On terrain at a slant


My clothes and shoes got damp
So I set up camp
Before I'd need a lamp

I weathered storms like a champ

Never thought that " I can't"
Eventually packed up and headed back
With the help of a map
It was a wrap

Folks often vent
About how things went
Whether it turned out good or took a left

All these presidents
Continually spent
You'd think it was for some event

Maybe if I really meant
To put forth one hundred percent
I'd reach the furthest extent
As things augment
And orient
Which is the overall intent

Long Live the King

They marched in millions chanting down the street,
Their captured likeness published in the Post.
Rewarded citizens retake their seat;
(His subjects satisfied) They brag and boast.  

They file back inside their business park,
No choice when keeping families afloat;
"At least on 'Climate Day' I made my mark,
At least that little history I've wrote." 

The King in roars goes stomping through this place;
He rends the trees and tears at mountain skin.
His human guards asleep in drunken space,
From royal gifts of blackened fossil gin.

An oiled Curse doth reign; the Earth He wrecks.
This evil Thing. Tyrannosaurus Hex.

Opening a Gate

for Astrid

The first time I can remember
being moved by a photograph
was when I began to look through
your eyes. The way that poet 
says young boys first see the world
through the eyes of their mothers.
The photograph is called Helsinki, 
Finland, 1982 by Pentti Sammallahti. 
I first read about him in an essay 
by John Berger which I only read 
because you mentioned reading him 
in college, back before I ever knew you.
In the picture a dog is stretching
his back legs, his chest held high
toward something in the distance.
He seems a suppliant to a godhead
just past the point of perception, as all
godheads tend to be, something just
out of frame. Above the dog a tree
stretches itself toward the same point.
The canvas seems to stretch itself, too.
The photograph has a focal point
I cannot see, only the subjects can.
I strain my eyes to find it in that bright
white wash of sunlight. The photo
is in black and white, which lets 
the viewer paint it with their mind.
Through your eyes the tree is pink
with life, the dog is black and brown,
like Bug was. The sun is pale yellow
and high; it looks like it will never set
because for this one singular moment
time stretches itself towards eternity.

Premium Member Hell

Hell was created for Satan and his angels
It has been enlarged to accommodate all Jezebels

I dislike fact that the word hell has to exist
Awesome if could be removed, not just word but place desist

Magnificent if Satan never fell_obeyed
If he worshiped God and followers did not persuade

Now Satan temps man, leads him from God's love, directs
Him in wrong way, his subjects he tricks_ hell they never suspect

Hell enlarged to hold all who sin_ never repent
Heaven is a much better place, repent do an ascent

Premium Member Limitless Power

Our minds are most powerful

able to conquer our darkest fears

our least attractive subjects and yet

life goes on unabated

what absolute power we have

at our command and yet

there are still those that wish to

destroy the amazing accomplishments

by one simple push of a button...

inconceivable!!!

The unrestrained power of the human mind

goes far beyond what is imagined

we are only scratching the surface

of what's possible and capable of

I'm sad to think my short time left

will not allow me to experience

the future events in store

The rapid acceleration will only increase

until this old world will be unrecognizable

The human mind is limitless!!!
