Looking back had begat 
such tattered little strings

The threads of life are filled with strife
and many knots that may displease

contemplate to make anew

another thread which will'n't undo
with all the threads that make up you...

Fine Head, Great Posture! 
By
Tom Wright

There once was a scientist from down under,
Who was predisposed to error and blunder?
In an attempt to clone,
He begat only bone,
And he became known as the Sidney wonder.

Blades of stone
Walls of leather
High way down toward the tree line
Sights unseen 
Carving bones to dust
Waves of flowers burn
Quote the wind, discern
Heavy guilt lifted
Treasure stolen will return
I begat High ways.
Silence the frequencies
Blades of Light descend
I am a cross road man...

You feign contrition
No body for resolve
Absolute you’re dying eyes
Cocoon in silken wrappings
The inner being consoles
Obtuse mother
With her little stranger
Those counterfeit tears
Bellows no more
Lack of compunction
Halo of strife
I didn’t ask
To be born
But I was begat
To this life...

VIOLENCE

Eye wrinkle it began 
To begat disparage
And yet Tysoning 
Shoot again begotten

Hemorrhage is brings 
Shelling and uphill
We export oil
Yet importing mortars

Listen to the melancholy
Of motherless mothers
That of fatherless children
And of groaning men

If we must mêlée
Let’s fight for peace...

Mental illness are words people are afraid to speak
When happiness is all we seek

From a place of darkness we rise
Should not come as any surprise

Even when we fumble
Please realize it's just a stumble

Anhedonia is where we're at
Enjoyment is what must begat

Mental illness is not planned
Understanding is all we demand...

birthed by breath 
ignited by desire
secretly spun
from two--- one
preciously protected
carried and cared for
within the womb
nourished first
begat before birth
hunger and thirst nursed
by woman's life preserved
cradled at her side
by enabled breath
given by God
who wrought Eve
from Adam's side
formed from clay
birthed by breath
from One--- two
from Father, Spirit, Son
three
man, woman, baby

why chance genetic dice throw
gifted me finite time
solely to contemplate
(more than just my navel)
meaningfulness analogous
to scrutinizing Möbius strip
unable to identify
inscrutable mystery
defining random existence
specifically essence
happenstance/circumstance
which begat me Matthew Scott Harris.

His noggin mottled, plagued, and riddled 
with debilitating accursed impediments
since birth circa

Fresh morning wakens,
Overflows with soft light.
Distant aurora, splashing waves,
Soft azure, wisps of floating white.

Part and see the pale horizon,
Blending images to far and near.
An eternal expanse that time begat,
The light giver shifts her gaze.

Illuminating with a golden haze.
Soft breezes stir harmonious hues.
Pale pastels envelop views,
Half lit scenery, streaming sights.

My heart and soul do thake this blend,
And to my spirit doth attend....
