Premium Member The body politic '

In sleep..Deepest sleep, does the body not move.? For lying too long on just one
Side is bad? I believe that is true.? We turn right to left, all unaware, as ( the body )
Regulates by innate care.' So being on the
Left indefinatley will stress your skin crush blood in transit, cause pain within
The same for the right, do not stay forever
Maybe a while on the back, will suit you better.? A simple enough theisis, but practical truth..Could it be applied to politics.? Would it help somewhat.? In 
Valuing balance.? Does it allow a plot.?
As in seamanship? A course to follow for
The body of a country, maybe we all 
should on just not?  swallow..That the right side or the left, are the only choice.'
Available is discernment, treat it not as naught.' Maybe better for the body of a country, to have chance to move? And
Before retiring to the bed, 
in making; slip off real heavy shoes ?

Premium Member Death Doula

An event planner from birth,
he becomes annoyed to notice
what had been short-range planning
is now long-range
hoping to renew
anthropocentric intelligent investment

What sentience may his cells,
molecules,
atoms have that remains?

Now free to transverse
transform
transparent with non-other
neighbors

Looking for unconditional love
compassion
enlightenment
cooperative empowerment

With synergetic
energetic
united,
but not uniformed,
neighbors

Rematriated,
reformed
from patriarchal caste position
preservation
compulsion

Recreating a less anthropocentric view,
panentheism becomes as humanely obvious
as sacred ethos wealth
embracing organic eros health

Renewing virtues 
of green ecological climates
planning a robust EarthMother democracy.

Premium Member " Red Tape Of Constituents"

They move through  the maze,

Papers wavering like
thin-skinned truth,

Each signature  a quiet uprising 

Against the slow- grinding 
Manuel Materials 

That call themselves order.

Their voices catch on procedural 
irritants 

Cracked syllables lagged
Across desks,

Needs folded into Manila envelopes 

That wander office to office

Like pilgrims pleading for
Charity.

Red tape coils around them-

A serpent made of statues,

A ribbon intertwined  from regulations,

A binding charm diffuse by

Hands

That promise  representation 

But deliver hesitation. 

Paper pushers  sit behind  the

Writing desks,

Shuffling lives like loose

Documents,

Moving stacks instead of

Solutions,

Measuring  urgency  in forms

And stamps,

Instead  of human obligations 

Still they push forward,

Bearing the bulk of civic expectations,

That drag of political formality,

The discomfort of being heard

Only after being processed. 

And in the end,

Their persistence becomes revelation-

Proof that even disordered  

Systems

Cannot silence a people 

Who declines to be filed away.


Premium Member What a Gyp

	O, good. Just what I’ve always wanted to elect
             a Senatorial candidate with a Nazi tattoo on his chest

         What do you mean he’s dropping out of the race
            ~ depriving me of voting for one of America’s best

Premium Member Abolish With Polish

Said the caste abolitionist
to the privileged preservationist

What Earth needs outside
we both feel inside

What people want inside
fills and spills outside

Following polycultural
polypathic
polyamorous
polytheistic Golden Rules
Ways
Means
Golden Ratios.

Caste abolition, 
like anthropocentric constraint,
and unlike narcissistic complaint,
engages transformative potential
to recreate an organic civilization
in which every sacred body
has what is needed
and every polyamorous mind
has what is wanted.

Every neurological system
well-trained
and peace-making empowered
to recognize
and responsibly self-correct
any dissociative dissonant differences
between body nurturing needs
for kind touch
and mind-care wants
for compassionate communication

Spoken
and unspoken,
saged
and mused,
crowned
and rooted,
mountained
and valleyed
FatherSunned
and EarthMothered,
LeftBrained
and RightBodied,
enlightened
and empowering,
polished Win+Win
and abolished Win v Lose.

TIME MOVES FORWARD

Time always move
Forward not backwards
The future has already
Been written and engrave
By the lord, and no man
No plot nor plan will prosper
Even if the plan seems ironclad
It will never change what
God has in-store for his people
He is the power, just call upon
 with prayer


Premium Member Open the Door

Open the Door
Kevin Davis – 2025 
Open the door where death and life align—
What spirits linger? What truths are divine?
Open your mind where justice wears disguise—
What dreams endure? What hidden deceit lies?
Open your heart to the clash—chains and wings—
What freedom cries? What quiet tyranny stings?
Open your soul where hatred turns to dust—
What love remains? What beliefs earn your trust?
So open yourself to this sacred decree:
Guard well the flame of our democracy.
Stand for the truth—let your voice be the toll,
And demand that our Constitution remain whole.

A letter to my flag

A tinted rainbow smeared with blood

On its surface lies the bodies of youth devoured by guns

Guns aimed at them by the same people who were meant to protect them

46 years later we are still fighting the same battle as the class of 76

But now the narrative has changed 

Instead of fighting against being taught in a language we don’t understand

The fight is against fees and black on black oppression



Please forgive mama that they didn’t tell you when you were voting in 1994 that you were voting for your grandkids and great grandkids to be unemployed

Please forgive me sir that they didn’t tell you ukuthi you were voting for your kids to be working at a carwash with a Masters degree

I am sorry that they didn’t tell you, you were voting for black-on-black oppression

I did not kill myself

I'm sorry, I just can't (T)ake it anymo(r)e. 

Everything h(u)rts, (m)y life is falling a(p)art. 

I should have (k)nown (i) would mess it a(ll) up from the (s)tart.
 I'm (c)limbing to t(h)e roof and f(i)xing this. 

My (l)ife is worthless. 

I'm a (d)isappointment to my pa(ren)ts. 

goodbye forever.

Premium Member Walz-ing

Lying dog-faced pony soldier*
Walz-ing for the cameras
As if you have the answers,
Young people are murdered
By men you swear to protect~

Say her name:

     Jocelyn
     Rachel
     Laken
     Kayla
     Amber
     Dayanara
     Maria
     Megan
     Halley
     
How many more will die 
While you are Walz-ing around 
Protecting the sanctuary?


*Joe Biden said "you're a lying, dog-faced pony soldier" to a 21-year-old student, Madison Moore, during a campaign event in New Hampshire in February 2020.

Premium Member Enable the people'

Indiginous English, Scots and Welsh..Who are homless, or between accomodation
Should not be, left on the proverbial shelf
As long as they have credentials..Or true
Fellow citizens who will stand, to vouchsafe they are genuine, with best intentions for their own land, it will be to the
Credit of a Nation steeped in, the common good, the better ideals; that burned as it
Were the beacon, that the world would 
observe. Thats well understood, the
 better optic to observe through, to build their strengths, deep within..
I proffer this in reason
That a balance may, be struck..So the weal of
A Nation be again treasured, now do away with insanity's truck.'

Premium Member Malicious Violets

If malevolent roses
were blue passioned red

And malicious violets
were red pleasing blue

Then contentious autocracy
would have a whole lot less
malgovernance to do.

Premium Member What I read AUSTRALIA'

We   must  have  parties big   enough  to

Run   the   country effectivley.!!!

YET THAT IS NOT THE TRUTH.!!!

THEY ARE BEING CONTROLLED
FROM OUTSITE BY FORIGENERS.'

SO WHY WILL IT BE DIFFERENT WITH
ONE NATION.? AN OLD CAMOAIGNER
BARNABY JOYCE IS ALREADY MOVING
HE KNOWS WHERE THE GOODYS ARE
GOING MATE'S 

WORK THIS THING OUT.!!!

Premium Member And polievr'e

And things got bad..And things became worse
Then a health opportunity arrived, like could break the curse
Yet the ukranian cheerer, well he just.? Well just
Stood by.' The levers of power..Did not even try to
Grasp or throw, one! Let alone a few.' A solicitless
Lawyer, it just won't do, but hes up in the chamber
Regular enough.' A lion at the despatch box where
It (really gets tough?) He's presided at banqets
And he even says prayers.' Yet when the Ostiches
Stuck there necks out.' He just didn't care.! I reckon
He's uni-party ( through and through ) could tell
Us in which bunker hunkers Hunka.' No he's not
Quite the man in all estimation.? To see Canada through.)

Premium Member Trumping With Hearts

When democratic gratitude 
performs with politically positive 
caste-abolishing attitude

Then autocratic certitude
and kleptocratic magnitude
do not negatively deform 
with unenlightened
and disempowering 
caste-preserving platitudes.
