the fruits of the founding fathers of this nation
they think what we know

Poems So Simplified

Maybe it was me who had lied
My poems did seem so simplified
Read by fathers who were founding
Who found them to be astounding
Were put in permanent place and petrified.

Witty Founding Father Ben Franklin

Gave his contemporaries many a grin.

Although he wanted the turkey to be our national bird,

Fortunately John Adam’s “eagle” had the final word.

The idea that our founding fathers intended anyone over 18 to possess enough firepower to destroy the entire continental army of 1776 is absurd, arrogate and dangerous.

pure and innocent was the founding
not a witch, death outstanding
family relief at sister’s drowning

The host charms and beguiles 
Whatever leaves
Goes in orange flames 
And nine-inch smut tags
Can we burn away the one 
Consume the lost, the hollow
Change in time
All the same 
The ashes cleanse
Leaving behind an imperfect duality
A new founding...

Silver teardrops in the shadows

on the cheeks of sleeping girls,

weeping even in their dreamlife

for the wasting of the world.

  Hark,oh Hark ye to the trumpets

from the founding Fathers' hour

Lift your hands and lift your heads up

to the great eternal power....

A nation no longer sharing its true dream
Many have fought for by blood and tears
Everyone now looking after themselves
Remember you will reap what you sowed
Is it hard for dreams to become nightmare
Choosing to ignore all it founding stance
A nation where you can build your dream...

A party political war is always ensued
Mostly to protect the few not what's best
Even if it is in the vested interest for all
Remember the founding father's dream
I chose this nation be full of dream chasers
Constitution are guidelines not mose's tablets
America time for a new dawn awake now...

Thank God, I didn't starve to death in Bergen-Belsen.
Thank God, I didn't get liquidated in the Russia of Boris Yeltsin.
But now, I do find myself living under this new Trump regime,
and, although it is not (yet) quite as extreme,
it is working very hard to kill our Founding Fathers' dream.

Not-separated

Cannot be imagined

Yet the words

Imagined to point to

No-separation are

Live and well..

A danger..?

Repeating and

Settling on words

Might seem like 

Founding a

Religion

Just sayin' ..

A story of danger

Arising..already

Not-separated..

Whew...!

No-separation

Cannot be imagined

Yet the words

Imagined to point to

No-separation

May seem needed..

Which may introduce

Danger

By repeating and

Settling on words

Which seems like 

The founding of a

Religion

Just sayin' ..yet

A story of danger

Arising already

Not separated...!

Love! Gifted me a world of vacuity...
Here, I can't breathe.
Here, I don't recognize myself.
There is no way from here. 

It is suchlike a black-hole.
I'm alone here. 
All I can have is our founding memories,
Nothing else. 

Where are you? 
You don't wish me to be with you? 

The world of vacuity, 
where I lost myself !

An avid student of Copernicus
And keen observer of the universe,
The founding father of astronomy,
Philosopher and polymath was he.
Punished by Urban for his heresy,
For his heliocentric the-o-ry,
He appeared before the Inquisition
Which required his public recantation.
Imprisoned, muttered :”and yet it moves”
But this false recantation nothing proves....

Christmas for the Capital’s
large homeless population
in the shadows of the founding fathers
Silent is a winter night as
resting upon a snow pillow
bench 
the half-frozen Anacostia
flows behind him.

Crime yesterday may be "civil - ized" today
From debt, in England, sent famed Dickens ... Founding Father, Penn, to penitentiary
Is but a civil debt without jail, thank heavens

II
Yes a crime is a powerful group's definition
Rebellious America rejected debt as crime
Some groups say RAPE can't be, marry minor
Crime, Dears, is socially defined. And changed...

June stirs my heart to dream
Of years that were a scheme

Map for founding great rhymes
No more bored by their chimes

Summer sun shines down here
Rouse fun thoughts with no fear

Verse fills my mind with song
And thrills hearts for so long

I found 
                  Love


when you found 
                   Me.
Together 
                    we found, in founding
Us, Us.

The great onrushing
of my lifelihood has
found its course;
   in you.

I flow to you.
I flow to see you.
I flow to the sea of you.
I flow entirely
and utterly
and undeniably
down.  Fully, lifegivingly
   to you,
my Love....

Anarchy upon us
in less than ten years…
Nothing can stop it
neither hoping nor tears

The Founding Father’s
warning to ring…
“Revolution calling”
Jeffersonian brings

The mop or the handle
our floor will be cleaned
The face of new patriots
living unseen

Blood will be sacrificed
discord to reign
But out of its torrent
—freedom reclaimed

(Independence Hall: June, 2022)...
