I am unhappy
in this situation,
and yet. . .
Does not a dandelion
blossom even when alone,
praying to a desolate street lamp?

Down's Syndrome is such a big scare
Because it happens everywhere
So clinics should close
Since everyone knows
The greedy need more than their share*


*90% of the cases at one clinic are
attributed to Down's Syndrome but
the GOP won't fund research -  nor
prevention - as all the GOP needs 
is "approved" voters who vote
the party line...

Every person has an attributes 
That differentiate him from others
Some people are attributed by wisdom 
Others are attributed by reason 
And some people are attributed by honesty 
But good morals bring together all good qualities 
And you will leave an imprint 
That will not disappear 
Even after your departure 
Hold on to your morals and you will rise....

Fear

Thou make a warrior lame
An enemy to our race
Thy means so recondite
Suffered by all except none

In thee, ideas die
And motives murdered
Dreams doomed
Yet, no finger nor flesh

Thou are guilty on many a count
Starting from unactualization to death
Except you are defeated
We shall become fugitives 

For a fearless man
Can be attributed as a god...

“Better to burn out than fade away”
Indifferent complicated muster fading
Still the better just to fade, I say:

Observe the final glimmer glowing
Dissipated TV figures into silence vanish
Pushed away like breath the slim existence

Still most appear on vapors final blow
Leaving body burden burnish badly
So the living languish winding woe


Quotation attributed to Neil Young...

I still stand by my Feelings
That in terms of a Woman ascending to the Throne
There are Double-Dealings

When it comes to a Queen

There is much ado made of her Substance
By the Herds

There seems to be more Venom and Idiocy
Attributed to her Words 

Whether this be Sarah Palin Hillary or others

It seems they shall be Stupidized

If the Political Pundits had their Druthers...

huge silence
There is a huge silence within each of us, beckoning us back into itself. 
—attributed to Meister Eckhart

it’s always there
waiting to be noticed
the fathomless well
calling me inward
into the heart
of the heart
I swim down
deeper
find silence’s support
how it buoys
how it thirsts,
welcoming 
those who remember— 
held by the depth
thankful, I bow...

His lack of language 
or empathy for Humans
led Merlin, the Magic cat,
although possessed of uncanny powers,
(Self-attributed)
into a life of furniture destruction;
fueled by his addiction to cat nip.

Misunderstood;
his many gift attempts rejected
Merlin, the Magic cat, now
spends his days high on nip,
curled up in empty boxes
planning world domination.
One sprayed curtain at a time....

Love is a chance of a rose, in absence of thorn
this destiny, blind to fate yet still holds it's hand
it becomes me, though it evades me
the serenity of it's possible future knows,
knows that any occurrence is directly attributed
to the bond that binds me to the path of righteousness
because virtue is the only plane on which love may stand
for this pedestal which we named love 
is the only way to truly see ourselves`...

Ravaged by time and circumstance
Degraded by society
Left with nothing to grasp
But a sense of hopelessness
This cycle continues without opposition
Unless we utilize the greatest human power
The power that enables us to overcome pain
The power that makes contentment possible
The power that allows for forward progression
The power that's often attributed to God,
but that also lies within every human being
The power to forgive...

Waves of blue extend as far as the eye can see
raising high above the leafless treetops I dwell
a turquoise statue rests in the parkway
broken kneecaps and fingers but I don't know who
is attributed this honor dressed in flags of red
I close my eyes and imagine the battle scar
at Fort Sheridan where settlers dreams came true
A black bird glides down upon this glory
the sun starts shining through the clouds
and my thoughts wander to visions of you...

This astronomical event
Molted out of summer sunbeams
Causes an herbaceous retreat
Personified as sleepiness

More darkness less lightness describes
This astronomical event
More coldness less heatness results
From shorter indirect sunbeams

Tilting revolving rotating
Earth goes around again until
This astronomical event
Reassuringly reoccurs

Earthly inhabitants rejoice
Variously and celebrate
The season attributed to 
This astronomical event...

Bunyip

Early settlers heard its screams
Lurking in billabongs, creeks and streams
A myth or real that question remains
Indigenous folklore further explains

Perhaps a cultural memory of an animal extinct
Though the image of the Bunyip for them is distinct
Bones and skulls have been found over the years
Attributed to the Bunyip, adding to their fears

The tales of the creature weave a story so seeming
Its belief and existence a feature of The Dreaming...

Bernadette prayed,
wore straw knee pads 
and
built a cathedral incarnate.

Remains of the glorified were
sun baked shingles upon her roof.
Beaded mercy chips 
and
pieces of blessed palms
sewn by dainty hands;
her mausoleum.

Visionary lass -
the divine enchantress
taught you to devour
a million agonies
and
digest the callous sins
of modern day charlatans -

who foolishly attributed
your pious actions
to 
telltale symptoms of 
manic depression....

A magical number is seven
  Celestial spheres of Heaven

Seven are the Days of Creation
  Each one a Wonder of Imagination

Every Spring, Israel observes Seven
  Days of Freedom, bread without leaven

Seven times seven are the years of Jubilees
  All slaves and mortgaged land to be released

Revere the Seventh Son of a Seventh Son
  Healing Powers attributed to that special one

A very lucky number, indeed, is Seven
  Cash your chips in with Seven, or with eleven...

“The more I learn about people, the more I like my dog ” 
~attributed to Mark Twain

The only "reels" 
I watch on Facebook 
are ones about animals, 
mostly dogs and cats,
and the occasional horse, 
and once in a while elephants, 
raccoons, bear 
and deer/elk/moose, 
and of course, bison/buffalo, 
really, just any sort 
of critter that isn't human,
and won't remind me
that the world
doesn't want me,
doesn't care about me,
and never did....
