If seeing is believing
then determining global warming
over the last umpteen years
  is a simple matter of 
  viewing temperature records
     ~ isn't it?...

God Full of Much Feeling

God is always full of much feeling;
Many things He will be revealing;
Talked a while;
Was His Style;
Be careful determining debt ceiling/

Each cry of affirmation 
an outpouring 
purity of intent
outcome determining

If the desire be selfless
non-judging 
from the heart
is then Gods will shining

Always feel better when my doctor gets engaged
Determining things are normal for a man of my age 
But thinking of mortality 
Will also be normal for me
Coz dying is also normal for a man of my age...

Politics has divided us, with wheeling and dealing
Religion has separated us, with believing of delivering
Race has disconnected us, with seeing is determining 
Wealth has classified us, with becoming is glorifying...

      Contrary to popular opinion
      the man of the house
         does not even share dominion

       with his wife, who runs the whole show
       determining who comes and who goes

         ~ leading him around by the nose

If I was sworn in as the
President
I could dictate how Our
money's spent
And, figure out where the
Economy went
How in the Problem, could
be put a dent
While determining which Cadillac
has too much tint
As I, on up-scaling the whole world,
would be bent...

I sit on my branch 
eyes wide and bright
determining when
to burst into flight
chasing one of the many
creatures of the night
that all scamper away 
acting upon fright
I swoop down with elegance
its quite a sight!
“Try imagine being an owl”
“I think i just might”...

Dammed as dead as a dessert of the cruel world expert on expiration and determination of soul searching embracing a journey long lived dust and bones left the decaying of a box determining visiting hours flowers tears regrets expansions of dates 
Black is the theme for no living thing...

to define the soul
is beyond comprehension
determining the dimension
on a level you can't understand
why do we surround 
ourselves with animosity
we contempt the equilibrium
in attempt to be individuals
the equivocation
of our nature
abstracts the communication
overrides the originality...

Sailed the oceans wide by bum power

Yep! With a few blasts from my derriere

I was able to navigate the seven seas

What a magnificent journey it was

The only problem I had was determining

Right from left or up from down

Now wait this is getting downright silly

Sorry......

What I feel and what I think
While I’m standing on the brink
Of determining what is true
Must not solely influence what I do
But my morals, lest I have those
May just guide me, but who knows
I might end up acting wise
Or lay the base for my demise.

Today I’m thankful for the unpredictability of destiny…
You see, I’m not sure how much I partake…
in determining all my opportunities…
in all the choices that I make.

For instance:

Was it my choice to write this poem…
or has destiny decreed it?
and was it your choice 
or was it Destiny…
when you sat down to read it?...

Most time is 
unremarkable:

the conscious mind asleep
between stitches and scores
hoots and howls
sweet scents and fouls
hunger and bowels--

viruses needing cures,
shifting earth
and weather skewers
determining our garments
and directions…

even our intimate affections
a product of environment,
each a prison of sorts

Strange, yet God claims
not to lead us…...

Caseworker Determining Eligibility 

		Cabrini-Green Projects
		Chicago

The child, age two, hammocked in the half
moon of his mother’s arms, is locked
in palsy, yet moves an eyelid as I ask, 
moves the other as his mother answers,
application form interrogation.
The father was a white policeman.
“Curiosity,” the mother says. “No more.
I didn’t go with him for money.”

Footprints
Written: by Tom Wright
3/8/2016

Like a colossal spool of twine unreeling,
So are the tracks put down from birth.
They show our bearing, not what we’re feeling,
And are oft used in determining our worth;

But only God knows what our heart’s hold,
And if our trail was by Him so directed;
Whether our tracks are fresh laid or cold,
Our love for others from these is reflected

The gods looked down upon the plebes
and roared a loud thunderous laugh.
Those arrogant humans never
Learn. They spend precious time flirting
Audaciously with foolishness;
They set their eyes toward heaven
And expect to achieve greatness.
By whose precious standards do they
Trust determining their greatness?
Their own supreme egotism
Suffices as their bellwether
And so therein lies their weakness
A trait exclusively human....

There’s an elephant in the room
He lets me know not to assume

He fast forwards, determining fate
He rewinds, finding the faulty gate

He can see me but I can’t see him
He can see the wick burning dim 

I am an imposter of this person called me
I know he knows what isn’t honesty 

This elephant has taken control
Hands on the reigns he has taken his toll 

I lay restless upon this darkened hour
Stripped of my already lifeless power...

We seine them up
like dust
in pollen-stained hands,
briefly weight them,
balancing them in minds,
determining worth,
profundity. 

And like those before,
we toss them absently
into wind—
winnowing maple seeds—
whirling them from us—
as we shape lives,
change destinies.

Now, 
they seem to flit
to nothingness,
like us—
pale night insects
pestering
opal moons,
infestations of night
thickly settling
on the liquid glass
of our tongues....

Writing is far from new – 
pictures our first penmanship:
on cave-walls, in clay frames,
using colored sand – depictions,
mans' desire to inform; each of
us having his or her own view
of nature – dreams our deeper 
landscape. But, nowadays,
we are politically declarative
pronouns – naming no-longer a
rational art; images no-longer a 
universal language: All creation
deemed self-determining Its! 
Humanity obsessed with correcting 
the errors of God....

Essence has no femininity nor masculinity or caliber,

                     it's esoteric and outlooks are essential and oftentimes

                      symbolic determining its character and outlook over time

                      to time determining its character and allegorical exemplary

                      paramount. A model of honor, creatural spirit, soul, and mind
        
                      characteristically and distinguishing essence....

Immaculate invasion in a cryptic, tiptoe way
Emulating doves while landing - soft and understated 
Gaze upon one bright star in the sky's celestial lay
Entranced, some shepherds see a host, hear glory's tale narrated
Deception? No, for prophecies were made in ancient day
Now child in lowly manger lies, this glad day long awaited


// Rhyme scheme = ABABAB with the last letter of each line's
first word determining the first letter of the following line //...

Attention frozen in quanta of time
Fulcrum determining inner chime

No sooner we become an observer
Spontaneity is distorted by the doer

It is only in the continuum hypnotic
That we resonate with bliss eclectic 

Thus ascension is the recalibration
Of our core in unbroken meditation 

Imbibing impressions in continuance
In resonance with pristine innocence 

Once attention is awake in stillness 
We simply are is-ness of being-ness
