If deathless prose there be, forsooth
In poetry lives on more truth
Through life in soul which outlasts all
Whose breath is life, and death is small
As stone will claim what bones remain
And all ends in public domain
AN ALLEGORICAL MATH LESSON
(Rational And Irrational Numbers)
1.
Rational numbers,
And irrational numbers,
Teach many lessons:
Allegorical lessons,
On the living of our lives:-
2.
We must live rationally;
Living irrationally sucks:
Swallowing life’s goals:-
That teasing “pie in the sky”,
Must be assessed by squaring
With God’s sage divine wisdom,
And His repeating guidance:-
3.
Thus, always strive to be
In logical reasoning
With ourselves, and with others:-
With deception all wiped out,
And all wrong things put aside,
Always seek to do what’s right:-
The zombies are at my door.
Should I fight em or join em?
Afterall, I’m a meat eater
and I’ve seen all the movies.
Maybe when the bullets run out,
Yep,
that’s when I’ll join em -
when the ammo's all gone.
The brain-washed also washed.
‘Settled science’ led him forward confidently
into a simulated life.
It was while listening to the talking heads,
pundits, and cognoscenti
that he was struck by a miniscule,
yet consequential doubt.
Dismayed, he sensed
the props of his borrowed knowledge
begin to shred and peel away.
Eventually, his entire belief system
faltered,
friends hearing of this heresy
deserted him.
He wandered into a forest
where every tree was different
in its own peculiar way,
Both order and chaos
seemed to be
but one cohesive happening.
Legend has it
he deliberately lost his way
in order to find out
what had been overlooked by so many.
He is still looking.
I
If u are in a Right-Fightbdo not take weapons
II
If u fight without weapons, U can stop if reason interrupts
Up the diversified life's evolutionary lineage tree,
with time a unique species climbed to the canopy.
A perfect blend of functional form and wisdom,
a matchless masterpiece designed in live kingdom.
Beneath the cold cover of austere expression
flow the convivial streams of sensuous emotion,
the embracing ripples of love and empathy
spread on the shore of my soul in eternity.
When all the dreams break and hopes abort,
I seek and get the gift of all-needed support,
embark again on the journey, cross milestone,
for I know I won’t ever walk my life alone.
Behind the deceptive façade of divergent kinds
I have seen the lively portraits of beautiful minds.
Since all humane traits their acumen can scan,
the singular species created is the rational man.

How do we navigate the narrow boundaries
of the inquiring mind,
the narrow path leading
to knowledge,
understanding,
wisdom?
So vast is *****sapiens capacity to store
throughout the brain,
the cerebral cortex
processes,
generates,
tabulates,
Often spewing out like a computer gone berserk
from an unexpected surge,
in the middle of a project
unprepared,
unexpected,
frustrating.
We learn to navigate; we learn to function
within our individual limitations,
manipulating cranial cells
accumulating,
experiencing,
ever slowly dying.
From birth to death, constantly processing
from current information, hopefully,
to make the most informed
decisions,
choices.

My Queens, have you ever been touched by “Man”
in the ways “never before”?
Keeping your mind in constant wonder nay ‘er day
yet “four-of-score”?
Surely there are those amongst us
of my word Hark-Ye-trust”!
Search for them within their manner
discreet and self-restrained
rarely seen “at-glance-the-first”.
Never will they display their lust for thee
as of “one-to-die-of-thirst”.
Yet bide their time in watch-from-afar
awaiting the encounter to be unrehearsed.
For he who moves with “force-of-nature”
never taking his will in hand.
It is he who lives for honor
who respect the laws of life and land.
Being himself of noble birth
the one “True Born” “King-of-Man”.

BIO-MODIFIED: RATIONAL OPTIMISTIC
Rational
Mathematician, Writer, Editor, Talker
Love to spend time with family, make fun with friends and play with children
Have ideas to edit Science Magazine, to write scripts and direct drama, to
create Mathematical Puzzle.
Great feelings to ruminate sweet memories, enthusiastic in chosen work,
Aggressive to protest injustice.
Fear of loneliness, old age suffering, dishonor of treasures of my life.
I would like to stay with my children in last phase of life already reached, to
meet distant friends and relatives, to travel with family and friends.
Me: A Global Citizen.

The atmosphere killed, but moisture came from rock,
I did not judge this sinner’s block ravishing, just clock,
No stripes inside to ease away the pain, despair, hock,
Wires to traverse those structures not according, shock.
Did the eclipse light a fire within the heart, point stayed?
Or was Einstein there to fan and place, unaffecting okayed?
Did Steve Davis snooker the lass and the said, delayed?
And could decades set the wrong aright, deep parlayed?
Science will cure the Coronavirus without question, doubt,
Keep washing your hands, rational thought counts stout,
Stay away from other people to reduce your chances out,
Reason is in rationality, of human principles - values count.
When things go rational
Mature comes to one's life
And mechanically as well
As the sun rises and sets
By the defined routine every day
Day and night and night and day
By children's tricks, we have happy
By having happiness we love life
By loving life, we love each other
We hope we will always run the way
Day and night and night and day
When each thing runs rationally
We will lose our interests to the one
Resemble enough to us each other
Alike our mirror images we see
We will be confusing with love
And sigh as no more myth alive
We will go lost and never be back
As comes with things go rational
Each piece of love will be futile

Form: Vertical Monocrostic
I'm a rational man
But I'm in deep,
She was there in my head
And I just couldn't sleep.
Long hours without her
I found hard to bear,
Every cell in my body
Just wanted her there.
That first flush of love
Sends all reason awry,
My heart, it grew wings
And just took to the sky.
So I gladly surrendered
For love holds the key,
It unlocks the path
To our heart's destiny.
