But how can you reach Self-actualisation? Without esteem....

  The cunning fox prowls
The lordly lion stalks its prey --

Someone offered love love peace peace to me,
I chose hierarchy to community.

Someone then gave me my eternal birth,
And as a morning star I fell to earth....

Hierarchy and Mistakes

Mistakes cause one or many sufferings.
Depending on hierarchy.
Leaders, Please get God’s help…

May we be blessed when we begin to think we’re superior
when in our minds this idea we try to plant…
to remember in the hierarchy of nature 
we stand somewhere
between the mountain and the ant...

To be truly and deeply Confucian,
we don’t need a refined constitution.
Just obey mom and dad.
Choose the good — not the bad.
Serve the Emperor, S/shun revolution....

Violence under anarchy
Anarchy under my screams
Screams under a mental breakdown
Breakdown under chronic daydreams
Dreams under an uprising
Uprising under retribution
Retribution under pain
Pain under God
God under Me....

     The White House, run by strict hierarchy
     Lambasts Russia’s alleged oligarchy

         Putin claims to be stumped
         But Biden has him Trumped

     Grins like mad and says ~ ‘Bunch of malarkey!’

Death is convincing.



Does a crowd gather to indicate certainty under the influence of doubt?



Is extinction a plot designed to entertain slavery?



Mastery, a cruel dimensional hierarchy where death is ever so [terribly] convincing....

true fulfilment
    an ethereal fantasy
    of
     tempetuous romance
     in a 
perfect distillation
     free
        of hierarchy
this
  creative antipathy

a diffused presence

the perspective
of impersonal beauty
in
a
    potential muse...

That satanic streak
of tireless undressing
of a hapless monarch.

Wings were gone. Cannot fly
across the tree 
of hypocricy.

A footmat for the suicidal jump
from the elegant hierarchy
to grainy lies.

Why are you turning ungreen ?
You will dig up the temple
without god ?

HATE(5-8)


Hope haunts my hierarchy in a manner most befitting Hades hounds.

Alluring as it almost is, I opt to alleviate my ails through the Almighty.

The terrible torrential tempest of thought tempt me in a twist.

Everlasting eludes me evermore in exchange for an emerging epiphany of essential 
ecstasy....

The body’s needs are few
Maslow got it right
Air, food, and water
Nourishment, reproduction for life

When all needs are quenched
And the stomach is full
Why is the drive still so alive?
Why do we do what we do?

Is that why I crave?
Is that why I’m on fire?
Insatiable are the appetites
Evolutionary desires...

concentric circles clouds 
mushy mists growl
tainted tarred twain
epileptic ensconced spray
rustic rims raved
adapting aura's aid

mystic mood swung
lurching lousy lust
taming torpedic tongue

callous Cherub called
vile veins' gores
dripping damped draws

scrunched syllables smoothened
haggard hierarchy heightened.

Displaying at the top,
Of the hierarchy,
Of Best New Poets,
On Poetrysoup world.

A moment of joy.

Your company is amazing.

I just wrote it here to thank you all the poet friends whose kind words and comments made me to write and try my pen at new forms. The poetrysoup is really awesome....

A blot they want to wash, detergents do not work
Ineffectual, institutional and cover ups a stir
Excuses abound, squirming hierarchy found 
"Its just a darkie, why so narky"
The corridors would sound
It still goes on, gone several years 
Distrustful patronising leaders
A scurge we hope that does not surge 
To Nazi ways and olden days
Where races they would purge...

Not the truth of hierarchy 
I loved the lie of life

Naked truth kills the humanity of falsehood

There is no religion
Death is the peace of heaven

Holy ground or the barbaric war
There is a tomb of screaming

Blind I see much
Deaf or dumb I speak much 

No human is important
But God or imaginative prophecy
makes an impotent world

Charlie was a gentleman
yielding to her wants;
always first to eat
jumped ahead in line.

Felisha was her name;
first, before he joined.
Ranking ruled her mind-
so he must obey.

Letting her steal treats
and his favorite lap;
passing him in halls
while bopping his head.

She died at thirteen.
He lived until twenty-
missing her so dearly.
Charlie was a gentleman.

They abound in large quantities,
A plethora of them abound,
Different writers,
A hierarchy of them,
Different genres,
A variety of spices,
Different strokes for different folks,
They’re like stars adorning the night sky,
The books I have not read,
A vast of them exists,
The many worlds inside them,
 Waiting to be explored,
Waiting to be visited,
The trees that bore them died a good death....

Have you ever seen the little puppies,
Have you ever noticed how sweet and akward they are?
One puppy wants love, the second puppy wants attention,
The third puppy wants to bite the master's  socks))
But every of them wants to show who the best and strongest is,
In a hierarchy of sweet and soft domestic dogs.
Mm.. love them!

P.S. devoted to my beloved dog Dars (childhood period of maturation)...

All the once were lambs thought they were bigger than the truth
     And used their teeth and their strength to harm those smaller than
        themselves.
     It's good to be alive. . .no, that's not it.  ("Why not?")
     
     The wolves came around and were smaller than these lambs but their
        permission was gained to use teeth and the strength. . .
     Wolves think good to be alive!
     "Good truth."
     Dear, deer truth....
