Long Unredeemable Poems

Instant individual redemption
from predative enculturation
is overly spiritualized,
under naturalized,
rightwing evangelical dogma
more likely found in empire-building
strong business-loyalty development texts
than multi-enculturing
re-connecting
re-ligioning nature/spirit scriptures.

If spiritual 
and capital redemption from baseline natural evils
is good news for individuals,
yet inapplicable to global...

What purpose do I choose to live;
remaining aloof from evil practice and intent?
What meaning can we find to live,
reversing "evil"
that could transcend our individual absence of identity?
Original Intent uncovers love-life's revolutionary invitation
into mutual belonging.

What is...

It helps me to optimize possible health-improving wealth outcomes
by temporarily suspending disbelief
we have each chosen to be spiritually reborn into
each and every WinWin opportunity
to optimize mutual healthy-wealth
naturally developed for cooperatively-owned
and integratively managed 
personal enrichment
extending families
and...

There has been talk of having the famous black abolitionist Harriet Tubman replace Andrew Jackson on the 20 dollar bill. And I think though it does not completely address the problems our country has still...

A Poem For The Erudite, it sure will be hot
Take the time out to listen, rubbish it's not
Straight from the life of a perspicacious young man
Try and comprehend it...I sure hope you can
There's a lot...

One day this old earth shall pass,
When the cosmic gods unleash their last damning curse.
Everything will be digested, into the bellies of a billion skies,
The black smoke will paint hands, waving a billion goodbyes.
It will...

Sandpiper Pausing...Again

What times are these
where hearts run hot and cold
ceaseless conscience alerts
remind us of steel girders fallen prone
entombments sealed
their distant voice remembered well

Compassion's lens peers through
this fallen metropolis of micro-flesh
this glass transparency
engulfed by forsaken smoke
knowing...

I was invited to the FRESH urban farm
for youth development
of plants and people
and a more nutritionally just planet,
for an interview.

As usual
I began with uncovering 
where FRESH compassion
for Earth's healing
stands and sits and kneels,
laughs and cries,
works...

None knows what signaled him 
Deep down the rim
To get down from the train
As if gone insane 
All on a sudden
Much before the destination
Amidst thunderstorm and torrential rain
Ripping off the existence

Trifling with fear, sadness, guilt
Ignoring...

Hey, Who Said...

It was going to be easy

Getting over the time
When running over mountains to the beach was a Sunday jaunt
Giving Time permission to go in the wrong direction
Honoring past marriages as prep school
Letting go...

To Dis a Ray

Tim felt prismatic and took off his polychrome Ray Bans

He had to revisit his novella and needed undistorted vision

To sort out gems from false gold and writer’s confusion


Had he really been so...

Silvers strands line her hair like salt in an aquamarine ocean

Wrinkles shine in ripples on the quiet foreshore of hindsight

	She dyed her hair blue today because she can

The engine still roars when she puts her...

Inside my brain resides
A deadly combination
Of my mother's maniacal heritage
And my father's drunken rages.
A perfect storm, if you will,
Leaving behind dreams
Destroyed by doubt
And hopes undone by fear.
Leaving darkness and chaos,
Echoes of what was
Or what could...

you never have to chop me open
      my mind/thoughts splay out readily
some version of knowing me, gifted

TO YOUR EARS

To your ears I whisper words of love
You hear of how much deep I have drown
Unredeemable from the oceans of your heart
To your ears, I confess the secrets of my thoughts
I say the...

Momma
don't help me
grow up to love CowBoys,

The ones
who can buy you
or sell you at will,
or tell you
they don't care
whether healthy or ill,

The ones who know good ole' boys
were born
unredeemable pills

Smoking up weeds
or stoking up stills,

Klanish...

Why you taking all that energy and time
Being ungrateful pouty wasting all of your life
You hourly daily time disgusting unredeemable on making up lost time
Complaining sustaining in your sorrow in your brief lapses of unbelief

I'm forgotten...
and the thing is I never knew how 
forgotten I really was until I was 
reminded by your failure to
love me. 

Now I'm sinking in 
a reverie of loneliness, 
and just can't seem to
find...
