Heaven and earth reflecting
Serene and rugged

Monogamy breeds monotony

Duplicity breeds depravity

Frivolity needs formality

Hostility needs humanity...

I see the significance
after all
I finally feel the pain
of it all
as I drive by
and
count
the
marching
headstones
Every
Single
Day
of your
duplicity...

NEVER FORGET BENGHAZI 

Policy makers 
objectives verses orders
Field duplicity 

A slippery slope
of alleged interventions
RECALL...BENGHAZI!!

A way of life

In the world of man, men’s duplicity.
In the world of man, men’s complicity.
In the world of man, men’s felicity.
There – the soul of man – is a mystery ?

a carnelian 
crystal flow reflects sunset
blanket of white peace

woody specters dot
painted skies on horizon
icy riverbank

crayola color
blending in duplicity 
harmonic nature

A sharp, harrowing burden
Fashions mirrors of fear
Virgin pages designed 
From white nothingness 
Tattooed by black teeth
Eyes everywhere
Bold, brave, and daring 
To decode the freakish nature
Ascending from duplicity...

Bound by preconceptions of what is and what cannot be,
we condemn and deny life's inherent duplicity,
that birds sing the songs of God is truly reality
and our thoughts and dreams take flight like leaves from an autumn tree....

He swallowed my heart with a greedy smile
and the world began to bend
Although I sensed an emptiness
He swore he was my friend

So I parted with a sigh
and He smiled to himself
while picturing my timid heart
upon his trophy shelf...

In duplicity of white death
exiled from clay
I was sinking in black words.

Absence of truth was absolute
in plowed and harrowed thoughts
of inner sleep, 

building my attachment to fear,
exploring the nothingness
of truth.

The duplicity of solitude,
— thinker and thought

The lies we tell ourselves, 
  hoping never to get caught

In darkness, living behind walls 
  that conceal

Our thoughts from our feelings, 
—masquerading as real

This is not as good as it gets;
You needle and it stimulates,
joy your hard nose eliminates;
Screw your limits; Screw your limits;

Don’t ask for attention from me,
I’m something you don’t care to see;
What is the new song gonna be?
       Duplicity, Duplicity....

Pandering both sides against the middle,
duplicity won the day
To neither stand nor then be chased,
the coward has his way
Stealing the peace, betraying the war,
to live is then to die
The one from the many, the many now lost
—shame the binding tie

(Ronald McDonald House: June, 2021)...

From Lenin to Stalin
Khrushchev to Gorbachev
The USSR tried to
choke the West off

Now with Vladimir Putin
Russia's back and shootin'
Masters of duplicity
Executions through toxicity

Formed from duplicity and hypocrisy;
A falsehood foundation for democracy.

Cognitive dissonance spurred into minds;
Attitudes, beliefs, and behavior blinds.

Exposed conflicting ideas and emotions;
While fabricating illogical devotions.

Psychiatry claim to prevent, but obstruct;
As an inhuman money making construct....

Webbed lip toadies,
their tongues do  do stink of lies
As they leapfrog from excrement places
that do  do attract flies

Brown tongue toadies,
their sticky web of dysentery deceit
stinks of foul breath duplicity

For they do  do double dip in 
toilet ponds of diaphragm dishonesty

Croak manure truth be 100-proof landfill speech...

The scarcity that really utters
 above all others 
is duplicity upset
DARKNESS 
 by how thoroughgoing dirty 
I saw the errors of my eye ways
 I mourn the bad decisions made
 keeping the light out my eyes 
absence is in its way 
present of mankind...Darkness Reigns

EASTER

May that great, Christ spirit within, be risen?
Let it escape the clutches of our heart’s prison.

Let it not come from the hypocrisy of organized religion
but from a pure, innocent, free soul – let it be freely given.

Let it not come from duplicity, but from the uncontaminated heart
where the Christ spirit, the Christ philosophy within, should start.

I’m adjusting fixed positions
On opinions and deductions
From now on breathing other airs
I have a stack of fresh instructions

I let go of once held handle bars
Veering off from straight line steering
Riding curves requiring nerves
Whilst watching stances disappearing

Chancers wait to try it on
Consider risk-maintaining stakes
Ask what can we afford to lose
Whilst still expecting lucky breaks...

Give not your heart to hasty pleas
Resist lips of slick, pretty lies
Who weave duplicity and tease
Value yourself; you are the prize
Who is not won by shallow tries
Sugary words are spun of air
The blood of effort is more rare
Take careful measure of what grows
For the soil, thin or rich, will bear
Which is the weed, and which, the rose.

Would not place any price-tag 
on me. Like a mannequin dug out from a pit
goes for sale.

Abhor the duplicity.
Want to walk straight –
without the golden thong.

The city goes in flames 
in a circle.
A new fountain was singing.

They were landing in flocks.
The old birds of same plumage
coming to collect the due of old virgins.

There was no message.
Letterbox was empty.
I will not wait for snowfall in the Antarcita.
