Dogs dogmatically guard the home
Sounding the alarm with a growling bark
As owners are alerted to the threat
Miscreants flee into the dark
Cats are categorically useful too
Their mouse-tracking skills renowned
When a feline is prowling on patrol
Rodents scurry underground
But rabbits are a tougher sell
Their herbivore hunting skills quite moot
Unable to save the day or keep vermin at bay
They mostly sit there looking cute
Rabbits are thin-skinned as well
There's one faux pas you must not commit
Please do not call them rodents
Order Lagomorpha is where they fit
Why then do we delight in ours
The doe we call simply “Bunny” ?
It's cuz her antics provide comic relief
When she yawns it looks so funny
Bunny blithely flips her little plate
A curt review of pet shop food
She’s holding out for blueberries or kale
Depending on her mood
Baby carrots and parsley sprigs
Make for a tasty Bunny lunch
She regales us with her table talk:
Munchity, crunchity, crunch
After a hard day’s work, I come home
To my gray-and-white-furred friend
She’ll run to be picked up and petted
And my stresses are at an end
Yes, Bunny is priceless to us
And she certainly earns her keep
Familial duties done for the day
On a little throw pillow she falls asleep

He said,
Your faith community's secularizing problem
is too much dogmatically intolerant rigidity.
You reek of green political correctness.
She replied, indefinitely concluding,
You are undoubtedly right,
our sacred opportunity
too slowly grows win/win principles
of nature/spirit indigenous integrity
We speak of blue empowerment
through green cooperative enlightenment,
Yet shun the rightwing dominant
red patriarchs
we only find useful
in regenerative beds
For flowers
and vegetables,
ornamentals
and edibles,
polyculturally designed
to follow multicultural polypaths
to notice transubstantiating co-relationships
necessarily precede healthy
rebirth wealth
Not only rising and falling daily
weekly
monthly
seasonal life
But also noticing cycles
and spirals
daily circles of rising to enlightenment
from the same dream bed
where we, in previous dark of nightfall,
fell freely unfree into disempowering
ecosytemic ego's leftbrain dominant
verbalizing either/or thoughts
and categorical labels
prickly restricting
dark box constricting
deducting power
reducing light
from free win/win green cooperative,
win/lose red competitive,
integrity of full-circle thought
feelings
Looking forward
as dawn greets greying skies
this day
and night
yet another full and emptying circle
re-imagining our win/lose dogmatic indoctrinations
into win/win indigenously organic freedoms
of integrity's vast warm green
cooperatively blue
recycling potential
To smell and taste
of refreshing cooperative
healthy political empowerment
through economically co-invested
green indigenously new/old
transubstantiating communion circles
of health/wealth thriving
compassioning enlightenment.
Dancers
and health therapists,
meditators
and educators,
speak of an embodied
listening
and teachable "CORE."
We need,
on bad days,
and want,
on better days,
To exercise,
stretch,
fill and empty,
appreciate
and open
our empowering MindBody Core,
With healthy, resilient outcomes predicted
as a return on investment
for such deep enlightening listening
and learning
intention,
integrity
of compassionate purpose.

I cannot remember the last time
When in my fingers held a pen
How i fast forward to be left behind
To once again ask for paper to lend
Are we supposed to forget?
How useful things were before?
Batteries to only seem to lack
When did technologies become responsible for?
We do not talk like we used to
We simply talk to our phones, we message
Are there words for expressions we do?
How did time misled a once perfect passage?
I sat praying for technologies to work
And I ponder… how dependant I’ve become
Where pen and paper forever lurks
To a future we can never outrun
This piece was written by pen and paper
When technologies were to fail
Amongst the worst… are we really better?
When even lending to strangers… we hardly will
dear demise, how i wish you were here
how i wish you would grace my presence and set me free
i would be better off dead
up in the skies, one with the stars, friends with these dots that are strung together by invisible lines, creating pictures humans look up to and admire
around here, even crows yearn for their own deaths
strong, resilient creatures become broken, helpless, tired and done
my will to live and i are drifting apart like the stars in orion
but i won't tell my sister for a little while
and i'm tired of putting on a show to please those around me
and covering my grief with an exaggerated smile
remember those dots in the sky that somehow formed something
that were connected but not actually together
i just draw in the lines and fill everything in myself
and live with the doubt if whether
whether i am right or wrong
if i am enough or fall short
if my father really loves me
and other questions of that sort
i don't think i deserve to eat dinner this evening
maybe i'll just go to bed and starve
starve to death and be a skeleton in the morning
grab that knife off the kitchen counter to carve
carve wounds into my skin that say what orion told me last night
i fear his whisper was correct, though it still filled me with fright
for orion told me winter is soon coming
and with that, our love will go cold
you will forget me and travel elsewhere in the sky
and leave me sitting here all alone
every part of me will be replaced
by someone who is more useful, or simply better
and i'll lay on the ground, looking up to the sky
admiring orion and hating the cold weather
so now, i bid farewell to orion, and so long to life on this earth
for if i can no longer love you, i shall die with my lack of worth
i stay settled on the grassy knoll as orion stays vibrant but my life fades away
and pray that perhaps in another ending, happiness actually glanced my way
Unlike natural humane organisms,
like toad
and squirrel
and goldfinch bodies and brains,
Spiritual humane organisms,
like toad
and squirrel
and goldfinch matters and minds,
remain unchanged
by my perception
reception of them v us
as separate,
even laughably autonomous spirits
rather than One EarthTribe Holonic Laughing Spirit
Of interdependent integrity
with win/win
left-dominant/right-prominent
west/east
north/south
ego/eco-politically good-humored intentions
for multicultural empowerment
against monotheistic disempowerment
of all these natural
and spiritual
humane nature/spirits,
unseparated.
Natural bodies
do not share this uniting equity
between separate embodied perceptions,
merely sober secular,
and One disembodied unlistening God
stubbornly refusing to open ZeroZone Original Soul
of interdependently uniting re-creation
without uniformly uninviting
reduction of humanity
to win/lose violently inhumane capitalists,
Evolutionary devolutionary
inevitable mortal soul lose/lose terrorists,
anger inflamers
fear-mongerers
suffering blamers
decay re-arrangers
degenerative fragmenting managers
of separately supremely un-natural
absence of peace history.
Spiritual matters and minds
uncover no natural body and brain differences
in-between One radically Sacred EveryWhere and Time
and No fundamentally secularized timeless place in NotParadise Hell
Interdependently re-articulating
this perpetually changing,
growing

discovering spiritual mind as rational matter
and natural brain within neurally interdependent bodies

Organic, not just technologically useful,
Refining health, not so much defining materialistic wealth,

When you look at cancel culture,
and what it has become today,
you can’t help but look back and think
it didn’t use to be this way.
Free speech was once more respected,
people allowed to say their peace,
half the lefties who want us gone
once said the people should speak free!
So why is it that they do this,
what has made them seek to repress?
There’s several reasons, each worthy
of examination, redress.
The politicians are simple,
they see it as a useful tool
to rid themselves of annoying
people who think the pols are fools.
Like all the tyrants of the past
they love making souls ‘disappear,’
and any thing that helps them out
they will indulge in with great cheer.
their kind has always been this way,
The founders knew that pols were sh-t,
but they can’t use tools unless we
let the jerks get away with it.
And we know that the corporate types
just go along to get along,
fearing so much to get bad press
they don’t care if their acts are wrong.
So in bed with the government
they’ll cower and do as they’re told,
so afraid of losing money
that they don’t dare anything bold.
They think twitter is the real world,
and shrink back from shrieking harpies,
afraid that if they don’t play ball
they’ll lose out on the ESG.
Ignoring the big audience
that is waiting for them out there,
openly calling us bad names
to convince the crazies ‘they care.’
Then there’s the weak majority
who never grew out of high school,
they bit their tongue and say the words
out of fear they might not look ‘cool.’
That they would appear out-of-place
from what the news preaches to them,
fearing what other people think,
scared that they might lose all their friends.
These people don’t cancel themselves,
they just try to keep their heads down,
but when someone’s life is ruined
these types are nowhere to be found.
They do not bother to speak out
even when they think it’s wrong,
they rationalize the evil,
because in truth, they’re not that strong.
willing to give up all their rights,
then go make excuses for that,
they’re feeding the alligator
hoping that in will eat them last...
CONCLUDES IN PART II.
Does everything really exist?
Forgive me I tend to philosophise when I’m pissed
Scientist’s say that energy wants to exist
Like the warmth that you feel when you are kissed?
But they say that energy has to exist in large quantities
Does it mean we should touch not just our fingers but our bodies?
And elementary particles are dependent on others
Mingling the particles by making love quenches the hungers
Now I understand the basic theory of how things exist
Hick! This bottle of JD’s making me feel more and more pissed.
I GOT IT NOW!!!
For all the men that have been unfaithful
This excuse remember it well because it will be useful
One’s wife exists when you see her and hear her nags
To her friends, she ridicules you which sound like she brags
Here’s the science bit.
If you have an argument with your wife, go for a drive
And if you apply this theory correctly you will feel alive.
Because you are alone and therefore, she does not exist
And you have become a bachelor so you should be feeling bliss
Have a few drinks and play around with some women
When you leave them they won’t exist and stop being a lemon
But there is a warning, a warning of war
Never have another nonexistent woman in your house begging for more
For a nonexistent wife has a tendency to walk through the door
And believe me it’s not good trying to drink a bottle of JD to numb pain
When you get stabbed in the back by a nonexistent wife that’s insane….
No matter how much I try.....No matter how much I attempt....I'm not good enough... I just don't understand, how can people cheer you on one week and beat you down the next?? "You did it" "Congrats" to "You'll never be anything" "you're just like your brother" In my head, I'm yelling " you" Knowing I don't have the courage to say it. I know life is supposed to be hard but I don't like this pain. Often I just sit back and cry thinking Maybe it's easier just to die and take my own life...MAYBE it's MY DESTINY. MAYBE IM NOT NEEDED...MAYBE IM NOT WANTED...MAYBE IM NO LONGER USEFUL...So why not. Why not give them an answer to all the pain? Why not show them I'm different. Time will tell, Maybe today, maybe tomorrow. But only time will tell...... :)
We're in the foothills of another civil war.
The divide between left and right is burning and widening.
They have we the people, distracted and divided.
What's right is wrong, what's wrong is right.
Peace undermined by rich squeaky mice
The silent behemoth of indifference.
The bent, dormant scales of justice.
The uneven eye of the media leviathan.
Universities raping our children's minds.
Impregnated with Stalin, Lenin, Putin, and Xi's dirty seeds.
What's right is wrong, what's wrong is right.
Slapping Lady Liberty in the mouth
with metal tongs of intolerance.
Cutting out tongues of free speech-
of religion-of differing opinion
The socialist/commies and pacifists wonder why
we the people dream upon high-caliber nights.
It's because mad clowns and liberty cleavers
are running amok in the government.
The elite and naive are emptying jails onto our streets.
Rabid dogs are defiling peace, warping our history.
Useful idiots are slicing the stars from old glory.
Always burning and cutting and reaping and running.
Never sitting-talking-loving -discussing-seeding.
The entitled and elite sitting smug in gated communities.
The war eagles are quickly awakening as arrogance sleeps.
