THE PRIMAL WHIRLWINDA clash between two atoms.
An explosion — the Big Bang.
And so it began: with an eruption.
A cry of fire.
A chaotic dance of matter.
A beginning born of rupture.
How could it have been otherwise,
when creation itself began with conflict?
And here we are—
millions of years later—
on a planet of conflict.
A whirlwind of forces,
an endless struggle between people,
between ideas,
between...

The BargainGenerally, I am on
the Clean Side; but,
garden soil is my
rich exception --
I wallow in it,
a piggy for the scent
and feel --
Sort of like, training
wheels on bicycles
are for sissies,
glove-less, I dip and
knead; saturate and
soak. Claw! Compact!
Sniff the compost,
deeply investing with
bacteria: praising, composing
a reverent hymn, How gloriously
Efficient Is Nature!~ our
Mother recycling, wasting
nothing, reusing...

Madness on the Planet7/28/2025
The people of Israel, live under constant threat
of death.
When thinking of that, it steals away my very
breath!
And some writers’ joy, is only when a Jew,in fact,
in any land, for their life, cries!
Shameless be the writer, as the Jew sheds his very last
tears, and in horrid pain, dies!
Tell me, my Lord, there is...

Planet NibiruIn sacred India, where incense weeps,
I found the guru, where silence sleeps.
Swami Vivekananda, eyes like flame,
Said, “Today, we travel beyond name.”
“Where to?” I asked with mortal breath.
He smiled and said, “Beyond life and death—
To Nibiru, Planet X of old,
Where cosmic secrets are retold.”
We bathed in Ganges, pure and deep,
Where time dissolves and gods still sleep.
In...

Of Planet and PlagueAs if these lands were separate,
As if our minds weren't one,
As if land and sea were dichotomy, of darkness and the sun.
Pangea's cleavage tells the tale,
To fail here as but one.
All secedes from sense of we, on a planet's pedigree.
Family's but a split from those,
Whose own claim to be the same.
Round about in...

Rather Than Talking to Walls -Rather than talking to walls -
I talk to the universe
Which talks back.
The Milky Way hails -
The stars wink endlessly -
The planets - they enchant -
And if my ears are sharp -
I might hear steadfastly
The drum of time
In sync with my heart -
The crickets and the owls
As one rhyme....

Terra Incognita
Putting out fires not of my making
it's time-consuming heart-breaking
the grass over there don't seem any greener
and from my perspective the streets are meaner
the so-called social networks are as unsociable as can be
impersonal with dirty laundry on show for everyone to see
despite self-admitted wrong-doing and misdeeds
the herd still follows their every lead
but I won't borrow sorrow
and...

Nuclear WarThe alpha males
stand at the precipice of power
each attempting to prove
They are the greatest
Resting on the backs of stupidity
a nuclear war
one percent chance
of total annihilation
of life on the planet
As we destroy
our ecological systems
ninety-nine percent
of the world dying
from nuclear radiation
and the direct...

Fury Breaks Its SilenceFury Breaks Its Silence
From South to North Pole, and beyond
Glaciers crack, not by time,
but by the toxins we’ve forced into the sky.
Each gas, each smoke trail,
a fingerprint on the Earth’s rising pulse.
The Amazon chokes on fire,
not lightning-born but sparked by greed,
Its breath turned to ash by axes and ambition,
It's silence now, a scream.
On Andaman’s edge,...

Fire the Immortal by NovaFIRE the Immortal
Fire the Immortal—primordial breath,
Kindled in chaos, a twin flame of death.
Born in the forge where the cosmos ignites,
It dances through nebulae, seeding the night.
With tongues of plasma and fusion-fed might,
It devours the dark, gives birth to the light.
Fueling the stars in their hydrogen blaze,
A crucible shaping the eons and days.
It dines upon carbon,...

Two kid-adultsThe star-planet is straight above
Two kid-adults on a trampoline.
Side-by-side they watch the sky
At one a.m. on the months eve
Quietly, they're waiting, staring
As time tosses and turns between
The adult-kids who prep like vets
For the other kid-adult to leave
They lay solemn side-by-side
Distanced by a lack of sleep
They make their vows on satellites
Shooting stars, and falling wings
Today-tomorrow,...

Tired War, Release the MonkeysTired War,Release the Monkeys
They tried to nail my boot to the floor
No nail puller
My influence won the day
I was the monkey man
Earn the right
I want to ask
Just for a little more time
Growing life growing tree
just to lose it
Can't you see
Life got to be better
Once I lit that cigarette Ocean of tomorrows...

The World is BleedingThe world is bleeding, from the inside out,
with a punctured heart ready to burst.
Call Universal O- blood donors.
They may be able to save the most first.
A rain of tears cleanses streets from the red-
stained, dripping sheet-shrouds oozing children's blood.
While flesh is shredded from human bone by-
natural forces of wind, earth, and flood.
The world lies,...

From My PerspectiveFilth is a reflection of our hearts, our spirit. Until we clean the interior up...there will be no better, cleaner earth. Everything we touch will turn to dung. Earth is an image of our interior home -- one from outside the earth, if wanting to know where mankind is spiritually, need look no further than...

We Dont DeserveWe Don’t Deserve
I read the stories
see blood in the margins,
names etched in shame.
Man’s hand, steady with the knife,
shaking only when called to kindness.
History isn't history.
It's breath on the mirror.
It fogs up, then clears,
only to show us
the same haunted face.
We burn what we didn’t build.
Crush lives under flags
we barely understand.
Skin becomes a reason.
Love becomes a crime.
And...
