Long Unwisely Poems

It will be wintertime very soon
Here comes the evening moon
Gradually, we'll be shining like the sun
Eventually, you and I will be made as one

Tick Tock Tick Tock
The clock is taunting me...
Tock tick tock tick
The time...

I cannot tolerate
those who are intolerant,

I cannot stand
those who take a stand
against unknown others
unlike themselves,
much less than we are truly 
health and safety seekers
multiculturally alike.

I can tolerate anything
except intolerance,
most certainly including impatience with myself,
not excluding...

Public, or even familial, contracts
with predative purposes and rights given and received
move toward more transparency

So local folks
can better monitor
what's extracted from our communities
against what's coming back in
by way of re-investment
in future healthy regenerations
of active hope

Incredible Product Warnings

By Elton Camp

Far from folly this hair dry warning is keeping
In telling snoozers, “Do not use while sleeping”

Thinking of putting a curl in your colon or tongue? 
“For external use only,” on curling...

George Washington would never believe it and call it a crying shame. I have observed the prohibition of prayer in public schools. Free speech is not free but is for sale to the highest bidder....

Mother gives birth to them
Earth gives food, shelter
Mother, earth both are same
Important ever and ever,

A little, they respect mother
Much disrespect the earth
Its animals, trees, water, air
They need, eat, drink, breathe,

They take them opponent
Like snakes, bears,...

In one big ocean were many schools of fish. Most of them were nice in their own ways, but this is the story of two types of schools of fish very different in their ways...

When a fetus or baby, I then could have been:

I gave you no boundaries for all that I had...
I joined you in quest of your dreams
I unwisely allowed you to move in with me...
but you took everything to extremes
You left me not even one...

The Curse of the Dead Sea

Dark ghosts traveling through the chilled air mist
where rare rough rivers, eddied and revolved, in
twists around into a violent, furious funnel offshore,
as this turbulent salt sea of iniquity opens up...

We are born remembering
DNA's sacred syntax,
cryptic receipts with multigenerational redemption value,
to redeem integrity through this incarnation's
fully functional root and crown potential 

For ecological
politically co-intelligent
co-operative economic practice
with polyculturally unconditional intent

Mutual subsidiarity of peace 
compassioning just rightness
declared...

Dreams get my hopes up, and Expectations only lead to heartbreak 
I can deal with my nightmares, because Many times I've been trapped in a dark place
I know they say that life isn't as hard...

Sometimes, opportunities are given for people to vent,
and sometimes, doors are opened for people to confess.
Venting is helpful and releasing, but confessing is best.
This time, the door opens, not for others, but for me.

Sometimes, I...

Are you ready?
Picture eighty-seven children, practicing for a Christmas show
in a sales barn that does not have heat or a sound system.

A skunk died somewhere in here a few hours ago.
Many are screaming.
Some are crying.

Many...

From behind the veil, my tears, I dare to peer out
while forever longing, wishing to remove all doubt
waiting for a time, when the hidden will be revealed
when truth will prevail, no longer to remain concealed

This...

Oh what have you done to me,
A city built in the name of Christ.

When an earthquake struck,
Destroying all my pretty clothing
And shaking  the flesh off all my bones.
Leaving only my skeletal frame ,
Half submerged...

Angel

Gangsters angling for a deal on wet concrete by the station
Feared for life, but more for death, on the street
Souls purchased with wrong turns

Their associate last week lost his way in the park
An angel pulled...

Belts, paddles, switches, and rulers were once instruments of punishment.
Although very rarely, in my early years, a belt was Daddy's favorite.
I was always a quick learner and never a glutton for punishment.

Some believe that both...

All I've seen is a black star in the night sky,
We fell asleep after our cross-country awry.
In my dream, I saw weak, cynical starlight,
Subtle as a map packed toward the plight. 

City by the Bay...

In the cradled of life's dark garden,
It dwells amongst the murky waters
Primeval,
Behold the creature from the black lagoon.
Nay what is this creation, neither fish or 
Reptile.
Yet a blending of both, a high bread's mixture,
Intelligent, and...

Slickly marketed
evangelical leadership packages,
whether liberally or conservatively dressed,
but not when green conservational liberating undressed,
return party favor favorites
for further runaway capital investments

Reinvestments in gloriously cancerous growth
exalting competitive ecopolitical changes
these voices self-predict
should we be wise enough
to elect

Now another bird. My poem for those who, in a period of uprisings or vice, and want to depart with light heart and cheer.

Nymphea and Hymen! I see the tree of Hymen gleaming in the...

Sell the kinetic death metal,
see the swivel profits 
zooming to the stratosphere
Bloody schoolyard body count
is the cost of doing armed ant-farm business
Collateral damage is the soulless audit estimation
Bottom feeders at the algae low end of...

God-blest, March … so wondrously radiant
Shining birth month of life’s iridescence
Vivid blissful events, oh! jubilant.

Packed with achievement records, triumphant
Festivities echo championship sense
God-blest, March … so wondrously radiant.

Smiting slothfulness, unwisely stagnant
Hard work glows midst victorious fluorescence
Vivid...

Zero Tolerance at Schools

By Elton Camp

It began with a federal law about bringing guns to school
That offenders must be expelled was the ironclad rule

Then, unwisely, local officials the policy vastly expanded
For drugs, aggression, and other...
