Long Unfulfilling Poems

You've heard that self-unfulfilling prophecy?
"I love humanity--
it's just people I can't stand."

I love healthy humanity--
it's just uppity and/or snooty people I can't stand

I love cooperative humanity--
it's just overly-competitive individuals I can't stand.

Not so distant from,
I...

Where to begin
in the middle of cold and dark
winter's solstice,
healthy green life's time
of impeachment,
excommunication,
dormancy?

Where does this all rightfully
and sacredly left end?

These are expansive gadfly questions,
problems,
issues of complexly dipolar reason,
leftbrain dominant
either-or thinking
we are either thinking or...

ME dear FATHER you already know,
But you need to be briefed,
On a tragedy I believe you must not know.
There’s a deadly dance with violence killing teens in America’s Black Communities.
Use to be, 
Good Christian mothers,...

Old Albert was frustrated.

He knew his famous ego-identity came from this solar eco-system
with four interdependent dimensional voices.

He felt his own original moment began with ZeroSum nutritional balance
between eco-centered womb 
and emerging ego-centered identity,

And, he felt...

I have confronted family,
and acquaintances
at the edge of my familiars
to understand my hurt
when they economically
and politically
and socially
and monoculturally
StraightWhiteMale privileged support
RightWing LeftBrained
Patriarchal-Capitalism

Because my Kids of Color,
with physical and mental,
natural and spiritual challenges,
lack of LeftBrain full accessibility

I feel,
A strange hunger
A hunger for freedom…
Though I have,
Yet I desire…
A deep unfulfilling kind of starvation…
Can never get too much of freedom,

Freedom…
Intangible yet priceless, 
Like air,
Invisible yet vital for life,
Embrace but don’t abandon me!
Without you,
I...

It hurts when it feels like everything is up in the air,
It hurts when life doesn't seem fair

It hurts when happiness disappears without warning,
It hurts when you have to endure unceasing mourning

It hurts when there...

I met you in the spring 
when flowers peeked shyly from beneath tiny buds 
when the grass was struggling to restore its 
magnificent green 
birds singing so sweetly lyrical tunes that drifted 
into azure skies...

Born of wombs
for premeditated health
and restoring nutritional wealth,

We might warmly anticipate
a more win/win democratic living Earth communion,
more like an organic gardening womb
than a lose/lose political capital-overinfested swamp,
filling in with unhealthy communities,
filling in with dysfunctional nuclear-ballistic...

Monasteries,
both Western and Eastern,
traditionally practice:

The Way of Poverty,
A trusting Truth of Chastity,
And a Life of Obedience

To both spiritual and natural authority,
laws,
rules,
practices
both political and ecological
within their diverse sectarian cultures.

Yet this tripartite theme
of natural/spiritual discipleship
follows a nutritionally...

The Age of Innocence

The age of innocence now far behind
The levels of love pass slowly by
The elusive joyous one to find
The drive diminishing to even try

Then a voice within cries out
This is not your time...

Though predictability prevails
     pertaining to my life,
     nonetheless a pronounceable zeal
bestirred from writing,
     and reading (no surprise),
     which literary...

Excuse me Miss
I have no intention of harming your shade,
But the seat you left vacant for me is rather 
absent. 
Absent of roses I could finally romance into 
smelling, absent of yin that could relax...

Many a hunger goes unfed.
Some adjust and live with it,
finding satisfaction in suitable activities.
Others push that hunger down, deeper and deeper,
filling the empty hole inside themselves
with dangerous addictions that take the place
for what they hunger...

Great sorrow lies in the depths of the heart
A shadow of loneliness 
A cry for recognition 

The drifting thoughts 
The unfulfilling wants 
The hopeless mind
An overwhelmed soul

A cheer for goodness
A want for kindness
But is that...

We dance we sing, we talk, we listen, we ping. Dreams are made of this. We walk, we eat, we laugh we cry, we console, we listen, no wonders why. We are magical, we are...

(chorus)
All life seems so 
dissapointing.
All you do 
is social anointing.
All life seems so
unfulfilling.
All you do
is social killing.

The generations
And the future 
Are in your hands
Taking you further
Than you've ever been
You're in so much demand
Taking every child...

It was a normal day,
The day he had his first puff.
Children played beneath the sun,
And weary songs filled the air.

Time didn’t stop as he’d been told,
Not even the old man cast a glance
As he stammered,...

The dark took from the space I lived
And it buried me deep inside
But I struggled within my own soul
Leaving my heart and mind behind

I saw an open space where I crawled under
I could see a...

Brittney Tyler

The mind blowing devastation sets in
It's the subtle feeling of inadequacy
Mixed with the feelings of anger and betrayal.

Why didn't you love me?

I turn over every detail of us in my head
Questioning every decision I...

Look at the golden mustard fields
Lemons amazingly peeled
Likewise hold my hand
Loosely held sand
In the amber freedom let us get healed

In your lemon green scarf a peace unfurled
This way only we can rule the world

No need...

Whisper to me and say
all those little things that I would have you say
lend an ear, lend a hand
bring me a shoulder when I need to take a stand

So early in the morning

PATIENCE ENDURES!

The world and the people and the individuals that come together to populate universal thinking.
Society-at-large development is seen.
How come then everything seems to be slowing down extremely?

What is patience?

I am being told to let go
By almost everyone I know
Release, let it out, let it be
Plunge into passivity
 
While I cling to bitter beauty
My bruises bloom a thorny tree
Guarding roses of agony

This pain is...

Complication


I felt the suction as you pulled back
The room fell silent, stale
Breath hung in my throat
Clung like smoke 
Each swallow a tightening rope
A little less hope
You were already
Gone.
Gone before I let go.
Hollow visages of you...
