If the people against, the true deniers
could change life
and rebuild the world, they:
Would erase all progress
that exists today,
and return to a nonexistent "glorious
time" of the past...
they would create a world of their own...
where the strongest
would command everything...
There would be a democracy
only for them, where they would determine
who should and who should not...
where permissiveness would reign
for proselytes and dura lex
for the rest...
Conflicts would be resolved
with bullets by those disguised
by power...
To the rich friends, everything...
all power, all glory...
To the poor... all honor
of serving the powerful with
promptness, servitude and quality...
IN BED, TABLE AND BATH!

No premise of permissiveness, positive!
A good judge must always be human, and always distressed...
The toga is not a superhero cloak...
It is known that the trapeze artist's illness
is to think he knows and can fly...
The lyrics kill life,
but the letter must be at the service of life...
Knowing that life is quicksand
let us be and continue as righteous...!
With our sacred missions.

Humankind should show benevolence to those in pain
Unselfish concern needs to be put first when kindness is in need
Mercy and generosity may fulfill one’s daydream of being accepted
Altruism with clemency can reveal a true desire to be understood
Nations should coexist in permissiveness and gleam with righteousness
Inside everyone of us is a light ready to shine with exuberant inner beauty
Tenacity and perseverance should be showered with soft-heartedness
You and me should bestow compassion to those deserving of love

Divination
Insolence
False hopes
And folly
These all the fashion
My City gone astray
If they had
Countered
The puff of
Pillow prophets
Could have averted
The dooms
I speak today.
Famine and pestilence
Rabid beasts
And swords’ blood
These swiftly coming
To men who
Thought me blind.
Peace and permissiveness
Their fruit
Of vain imaginings
Damning detritus
Soon scattered
To the wind.
Had I heard Noah
In prayer for
All their failings
Daniel or Job
Approach my bar
To plead
They would have scarcely
Come safely
From the cauldron
Bearing none other
For whom
They intercede.
Yet still a remnant
I scatter to wild places
They know I do see
And hear
The feasts of fools
They tell a world
Jehovah judges rightly.
They seek a place
Where only
Their God rules.
(Ezekiel 14)

UBIQUITOUS
how to be present
everywhere
here and there
with serious
significance
never conspicuous
always ubiquitous
to remain meticulous
with the ridiculous
uses of ellipses
lucid liquid
willingness
never conspicuous
always ubiquitous
accidental coincidence
or ripe deliciousness
leave out crude
vindictiveness
never conspicuous
always ubiquitous
beware of permissiveness
aim for distinctiveness
with felicitous
obedience
never conspicuous
always ubiquitous
these are the chains
that tie and bind
the mind of
a poet

Permissiveness grows.
What was evil's in fashion.
Tolerance then's bad?
