We are children of the central sun,
secular seclusiveness becoming none…
Fallen angels in a spiritual spun,
pious partitions of a secretive stun.
Sceptical segregational spores,
seductresses serving as hellion whores…
Innocence infuses pathosis pores,
derelict distemper the syndrome soars.
Evil evoking while delusions dispensing,
forlornness fields fixing finite fencing…
We awaken within solitudes sensing,
freedoms cascading and condensing.
Religions regulate the lesser creeds,
the lamb lies within withered weeds…
Inscrutable imperfections satanic seeds,
diabolical deceptions of demon deeds.
Beware the seditious semisynthetic slayers,
children of the sun banish their betrayers…
Only love levitates the lamenting layers,
upon our hearts amidst pensive prayers.
800,000 children go missing every year in the United States...
50,000 in Canada and many more thousands around the World...
Where is the "Fake News" for that?

Sexual Misgivings
There is this instinctive desire
To fulfill one’s sexual craving,
Programmed into the human psyche,
Just like the beating of the heart,
Which, after millions of years of evolution,
Resists the surgeon’s prerequisite
To stop it before operating.
One would assume that rest would be welcomed,
But instead, the heart rejects this procedure.
The pulse, once activated, must never stop
And beats faster with sexual readiness
To ensure the survival of the species.
How simple and yet complex the concept
Of love’s role is acted upon by
DNA’s spiral ladder of emotional trickery
With physical gratification!
The act itself is aesthetically unattractive
And awkward and is a passage whereby
Bacteria and viruses can breach
The body’s defence mechanisms.
Still, over and over again, the gambit is thrown
(Using pills, devices, and genetics,
Evolutionarily and scientifically employed)
In the belief that pathosis will be thwarted.
The pleasure is worth the risk.
