Secular Poems

Secular music

what sounds good isn’t always good 
the tunes,the beat, the rhythm 
all could be the work of the enemy 

guard your heart by what you listen to 
by what goes into your mind, body, and soul 
dont let it influence what you do ..
but change your ways by being made new!

Sacred Means

Relationships,
like resonance,
feel sacred to me
in a way that individual things,
like trucks
and guns
do not
survive long
without significant depreciation

Despite impressive commercial value
when first assembled.

Feelings seem organic
to neurosystemic me
in ways that thoughts,
metaphysical
verbal
rhetorical dogma does not
free us from static
closed
elitist
LeftBrain anthropocentric dominance

Not rooted in co-empathic embodied win/win
bi-hemispheric balance

Blending resonant
compassionate peak experience
throughout multisensory
bipartisan history

Of EarthTribe's organic
synergetic
sacred relationships

Facing
FatherSun enlightened mountains
and feeling
EarthMother empowering 
deep

Sacred and Secular

Contrary to what has been spoken.
 Mythdiltra who is a strange
 Goddess of the other places. 
Was deemed a whore who chored
 and labored to shame The Great Zagreus.
 She hired Spontonaious to train Glima Nuba;
 Yacy and Trice to defeat The Great Zagreus.
 But Hermes and Valhalla allied to force 
The Great Zagreus into

Repurposing Retiring Life

Life invites deeply sacred purpose
when Love widely integrates
enlightened meaning
within co-invested minds,
passion,
from balanced bodies,
co-operating integrity
of healthy wealth's
most resilient potential

Life engaging 
deeply felt sacred mess
co-operatively owned and managed
EarthTribe clarifying purpose.

Sacred Secular

At
the hip-
in God's world
there can be no
split

Greenbacked Scenes

Oh the stories I've seen!
of Capital Capitol Green

Of ecocidal mean
homicidal means
mediums
medians
measures

Without theistic meaning
or even humane purpose

Toward tip pointed bleeding
killing
shooting
bombing
exterminating,
forced breeding

Although understoried
and less Capitalized survivalist
Vermin are not so patriarchal
when young families thrive
matriarchally attached
to future's healthy green Commons
expanding regenerative Earth's wealth

Green revolutions
not inhumanely win/lose
zero-sum invested
in our divinely inspired Capital Competition Scene
anti-ecologically unGreen
backed out mean
degenerative crushing devolutions

Chasing RightWing

Thanatourism

Tourists traipse over sites.
The necropolises
Team with the secular;
Teasing mortality.
Trauma and terror marked,
Tasked with introspection: 
To learn ‘Never Forget’.

Faith In Green Communion

He said,

Your faith community's secularizing problem
is too much dogmatically intolerant rigidity.
You reek of green political correctness.

She replied, indefinitely concluding,

You are undoubtedly right,
our sacred opportunity
too slowly grows win/win principles
of nature/spirit indigenous integrity

We speak of blue empowerment
through green cooperative enlightenment,

Yet shun the rightwing dominant
red patriarchs
we only find useful
in regenerative beds

For flowers
and vegetables,
ornamentals
and edibles,
polyculturally designed
to follow multicultural polypaths

Dancing Meditations

Dancers
and health therapists,
meditators
and educators,
speak of an embodied
listening
and teachable "CORE."

We need,
on bad days,
and want,
on better days,

To exercise,
stretch,
fill and empty,
appreciate
and open
our empowering MindBody Core,

With healthy, resilient outcomes predicted
as a return on investment
for such deep enlightening listening
and learning
intention,
integrity
of compassionate purpose.

Back in the day,

and warm spring breeze

spiritual
and natural lifeskills therapists,
polyglot poets 
and brilliant essayists,
lovers
and naked co-passionists,

Silent Skirmishes

Words as offensive weapons
dwell on ugliness of bad-humored life.

Words as effective tools
dwell on beauty and truth
of good-humored health,
empowerment,
love.

Yet, swords become plowshares.
Plowshares are repurposed as unwieldy swords.
Regenerative intent becomes degenerative chaos.
Degenerative discontent becomes regenerate
tipping points
within silent complexity.

Can words become weapons
for active peace?
And still tools
quietly feeling unresolved 
in silent external/internal wars?

Between curious ancient communioned minds
and courageous ego-independent

Rock Ribbed Dogmatic Secular Humanist

Morality and self-fulfillment
attainable without belief in God
similarly yours truly
would figuratively crane
his credulity to ascertain Ichabod
mentioned in first Book of Samuel
as purported son of Phinehas,

I reject entire Biblical text,
and prefer to remain sacrilegious
eschewing faith no more,
(cuz doctrinaire versus
epistemological paradigm)
disagreeable, thus essentially
resigning yours truly

as token scapegoat gussied
up as heretical nimrod
metaphorically winkin blinkin
nonverbally giving nod
even if deaf mute

New Year Masquerade

For what manner of beast,
sad creature,
mad monster,
deeply dark angel east,
does everyday accompaniment
seed cold contempt
instead of breeding warm sacred resonance?

Should beloveds
not expect to grow in sublime stature
not despite, but for humored respite, flirtatious flaws,
fallen fractured nature, merely human
after and before All.

Divine epiphany, 
fully-flowered gods and holy-climaxed goddesses
relinquishing anti-divine powers 
redundantly secularized,
now old bad not-news,

Flaws adored
because of

The Sadness of a Secular World

There was a time 
when men built for God 
great houses of stone and glass,
with Gothic towers reaching 
to scratch Heaven's belly....

In the great hall, 
beneath the bold flying buttresses, 
people felt tiny--
yet when they cast their eyes upward, 
they  thought: This is where 
He must be... and sometimes, 
just sometimes, some of them

An Appeal To Secular Reason

(A matter of reasoned understanding)

If life's complete term is this earthly sojourn,
What value is to be found in morality?
Why do we yearn for high knowledge to learn,
Or have need of reputation and fidelity?

Let's consume, every way, our limited stay
Not caring the consequence to others.
Let's ruthlessly flay those who get in our way'
And be selfish in
