Severe surge regarding thou shalt not kill violations

Fifth commandment breached regularly
epidemic of gun violence in America
bullets fly, scream and tear into flesh
senseless rampant mass killings
rip across fabric of society
buzzfeeding, jump/kickstarting, 
paradigm of mortality.

Since January first

I am a right-brain prominent writer
which must not be confused with
a prominent left-brain writer,
which I am almost decidedly not
nor would I aspire
toward such all or nothing thinking
and not at all both/and feeling.

Like most writers,
I feel...

From the ashes of the never before, 
Lacking symbol, nor take to guide,
A Phoenix rises from storied lore,
In a portent of thrashing hide. 

Trumpets are a pathetic symbol,
For the lack of mind within the echelons,
Who...

I have an inside Mother Eartha Voice
which She would prefer
to keep hidden
given any cooperatively healthy
democracy choice.

Mother Eartha
does not necessarily trust
the sexy grace
and beauty
of all Her StraightWhiteMale
potential Allies

College educated
but RightBrain contextually
environmentally 
straight white privileged
tone deaf

Unaware of...

Shoot! Nothing like killing spree to bookend August 2019!

The latest homicide,
where gunman(men) slew
dirty deed done dirt cheap
half dozen innocent people drew
minimal horrific gasps, now a new
month (September two 
thousand nineteen)

where goldenrods yellow
with morning dew
encompassing human...

I know I shouldn’t have used unreal money,
When I went to do my shopping at the store,
I didn’t even know it was a forgery,
But I will not be doing it no more.
Four cops to apprehend...

As luck would have it
I chanced upon the secret
of finding things not looked for,
to enlist serendipity on cue.

The more you look the less you see.
Stop looking for, and start looking about.
Expectation kills spontaneity.
So, stop planning...

Into the sunset we’ll ride 
And we’ll see how much you’ve grown 
By the last words you choose to leave behind 

We can pretend that heaven denied you

EXPECTATIONS

Gone
Like I meant nothing
two years of nothing
unsurprising really
I always knew I loved more

Heart breaking
I keep it together
allowing only private tears
so family and friends 
remain unconcerned

They never knew 
exactly how much 
I loved you
We loved our...

I’ve lost all my faith

Meeting people who were double-faced

Who caring nothing, except their money

Even if I’m simple and naive

Love leads me to believe

That everyone will find the land of milk and honey


I’m 22 years old

Silver threads amongst the gold
They have  a story to be told

Of balmy nights and satin sheets
Of hands a touching and kissing feet

Lying in a bed of flowers
Steamy fun under the shower

Legs entwined tongues on fire

Seems like good humor grows positive, 
healthy
resonant
confluent
sometimes co-invested
passionate consciousness

And bad humor grows negative,
unhealthy,
dissonant
contentious
dispassionate unconsciousness

So, maybe compassionate consciousness grows 
global intelligence.

And, perhaps shared intelligence could grow 
universally cooperative 
sacred unitarian integrity,
co-passionate joy
commingling health and beauty,
co-invested peace,

To fulminate against the hands of fate
To vent our anger on  beloved friends
Will not repair our ills and our mistakes
But may bring friendships to  a bitter end.

For who are we to know what...
