Physical is the coat I wear-out
in the elements – the ephemeral
shell of me, and not the yoke, man's
embryo of spiritual wealth...longevity of
experience and immortal growth –
True! -- of the Eternal Now in my
biological years not one has convincingly
surfaced, risen above the depths of doubt
to undeniably attest, my only proof
the intimate echo of a heart-heard
voice, reciting from the velum of a
supposed soul, surfacing despite the negative
chatter of fatalists: lordly provocateurs
of fiery electrons, rejecting sparks
of individual ethereal sense: despite no two of
us ever proven exactly alike, each of us
the unlikely oddity of billions....
a mathematical contradiction that
can only be attributed to the reality
of a God....

“In order for the light to shine so brightly,
the darkness must be present”.
“There are two ways of spreading light;
to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it”
“In the right light, at the right time,
everything is extraordinary”
There was once a man who never had a for a year
He was fine other than a big fat belly full of crap
Myself its been three days since I dropped one
I wonder if I’ll be that man to last a year without ting
Make it a year and a day or even two years
Getting me a Guinness World Record
And place in the history books for not ting
Those barsterwads, who say Jimmy is full of, are right
But imagine when it pops out a truck load of crap
Dedicated all to you my demeanours and provocateurs
Till that grand time I’ll just keep eating and smiling :)
In temperament of speech, gray fades to black.
When tempers start to cool, gray fades to white.
Ugly people speak until others crack.
They want nothing more than to see a fight.
Such are ways of modern provocateurs.
They desire nothing but entertainment.
Behind doors they speak of adventures,
exaggerating how they can torment
people who have vested dreams and goals,
people without numbers for their defense.
Gray fades to black when people change roles.
Gray fades to white when people have their sense
to empathize and help or understand
rather than provoking a violent hand.
Now that election results are in
Did anyone you voted for win?
Why does it matter ?
Asked the Mad Hatter..
Provocateurs they have all been...
For Carolyn's contest...
