Making light within appear
need be passed the empirical,
making it stay permanently,
is a true miracle....

Scientific theory,
modernity’s ego trip

Its pay grade maxed, its mirror cracked

Empirical Data Horn Haiku 

If empirical
Could data be lyrical
And hysterical?

Figure that one out. I haven't yet....

Intelligence
a number …
never a word

The writer 
a halfwit

Tomato

the pudding unproved

Empirical
nonsense

It's a scientific fact 
That biology is an empirical source of truth 
And no amount of ideological attacks 
Will ever change that.

Slippery is my mind since its unbinding from Time,
Affectively rendering the Solpsist's Soliloquy as the Engine of Being
...and so I AM a relentless Empirical Overlord 
 Allways in this instant,
 Existence is Allways  mine....

In Newtonian Mechanics,
the future is the past

What lags behind, what sits ahead,
the Jester only laughs

A one for one relation,
its truth in bas-relief

The numbers hail, the numbers fail
—empirical deceit

empirical evidence - what supports or counters this proposition,
 or experimental procedure or admission...
a body of facts that are true...
fingerprints & footprints at a place admitted to...
those telltale signs one has to admit too...
well; that's how you can be so sure; True...

what scriptures affirm
is real and yet metaphorical 
in truth the words address heart
whilst mind relies on data empirical 

ego identity resides in the head ovoid
seat of our true being is in the heart
if we opt to tip toe unshod therein
we can feel bliss ignition start...

timelessness
              an unreality
metamorphiposis
           no place to go:
dusk
dark to dark
leaving tomorrow
at once  memories
surface:

set pieces
without location
mirrors of mystery
passive
portraits:

simple
        compositions
paraphrases
of 
empirical experiences:

Can you scalpel the soul with the knives of your science, 
Separate sin with your blade—
And dissect human psyches with all your reliance
Placed in experiments made?

Empirical evidence augurs for “yes”—
Instinct suggests “maybe not”—
And there’s gore on the table.  The wound is a mess.
Wisdomless knowledge you’ve got....

Remastered memories
renovated compromises
Say thy brother's name

Touchstone compadres
Manifest of broken years
Be thy brother's keeper

Astral time prisms
empirical passengers
Keep thy brother's heart

Light years of reverence
99 flavors of forever
Hold thy brother in arms

Detour ahead----
Over the rainbow realm...

A poetical, Lyrical Man
planned to, by some empirical plan,

make the Lucky Lim List
LyLy caused to exist

'Woodsorrel and violet
To soothe the heart's fret'
Fo heart's broken by a male
So goes the old country tale;
A herb for all their needs
Or potion to right misdeeds;
So easy now to scoff or scorn
With the empirical now left forlorn.
A drug for this and one for that
With side effects,often worse,
Accompany the cure...with a curse...

The unrequited love poem.....
Outside my window,
Elegant ferns and flowers,
Lost in the crowd,
My intangible man,
Cute as a button,
My love distance lover,
My listless lips  ravishing,
One day he'll come to me...
Surprise!! Surprise!!
There's no one there,
No empirical evidence
For this adoration, O Muse....
My unrequited love poem....

Empirical, Actual and Real

Trump never heard of  anything empirical;
He is very verbose about it and hysterical;
Well defined;
Not his mind,
And missing in vocabulary is actual and real.

Jim Horn

I think all that Trump is doing is providing
a tinsey iddy bitty more information from
his tinsey iddy bitty brain for Saturday Night

The philosopher had thought it through.
The physicist discovered it anew.
And the poet always knew
That time is relative.

If so, why…why do we all seek to measure 
The millennia and the yugas
With the same empirical clock,
As in a rat race,
And a similar calendar,
Julian, Gregorian, Vikrami or whatever,
Blissfully unaware
That it may be a great blunder?!

He waits in a sylvan wood
mentor cloaked in
orange and black;
courage is the lesson
of this spirit of prey.

Empirical justice is
the swords he wields;
a traveler of astral light; 
journeyman of the stars.

Daughter of Artemus,
and lifelong totem
hunting ethereal woodlands
sustenance of my soul;
silken-furred guide,
I melt into your gentility...
teach me.

I came to faith at forty-eight,
a mid-life crisis within my mind,
step-by-step a staircase I climbed,
'til I left my old life behind;
Off the fence I slithered down,
upon my brow,doubt bears no frown,
each question answered,verified,
no blind faith this,with no place to hide;
Reasoned,studied and empirical
a life-style relevant and optical,
by revelation,face to face,
I stand here still,saved by grace.

To produce a logic table
Clearly in your mind
Other possible worlds
The purpose of your find.

It's not empirical truth we seek
Only a Gedanken experiment
Knowledge that we cannot show
Proof that makes us sentient.

The greatest happiness or the moral right
Kant verses Mill
Empiricist or Rationalist
An argument of will.

So choose your dialectic
As Plato was taught
Because a life without philosophy
Is a life without thought....

From beyond the vast heights of Helios
The inescapable black leviathan appears;
Crushing existential spheres of consciousness
Juices absorbed by cerebral hemispheres.

Troglodyte souls peer out
From cranial caves and shiver;
Without empirical illumination
Their hearts beat wild and quiver.

Unhinged swinging doors beckon to all
Offering true enlightenment for free.
Heaven or Hell served up cold or hot
Doth compel the blind to see....

EDUCATED ILLITERATE
Tell me all what you know 
And I tell you what you can’t show
You are all but a logical myth
For you are of no good deed

All you care is to bag the degree
But where have you kept your pedigree
Tell me all what you can see
And i will tell you, you are as selfish as a bee

Can you ever be humane and not empirical?
Why are you so concerned and so not classical?
My question may sure sound so rhetorical
But is sure and always practical...

This land of entitlement 
entertainment and enterprise 
lost burnt broken...despised 
skeletal structures reaching 
griping 
clutching 
scraping this infernal sky!

Arcane factories sit on horizons 
haunted like houses 
remains of Man, remains insane 
burning, cursing some 

American empirical waste, mad!
napalm fields where embers of pyres that rage 
across this facade of a holocaustic ape
an end to a so called… 


Mad American Empire!...
