idealist you
seeing the best in those bums
why don’t you get it?
all rich people hate our guts
won’t give us a chance
come to the good side Leonard
let us hate them together...

Listen to poem:

from the cauldron of universities
budding philosophers
burgeoning idealists
determined to fix the world
of all its malice and corruption

discontent
unruly
an idealist
i am 
of a 
terrible nature
the world
cannot exist
without me...

"Your idealist is always above the rest,
Show the truth within yourself to shown the cold and bitter of shallow minds,
Stay and show always within your brilliance each and every day,
Well i don't know us one another properly but I know well above the rest."

Life with no future
Or no life at all.

Morality abound
Or morality fall.

Christian idealist
Vs. the unmarried mother.

Push what is just
Or let no rites be smothered.

Choose your position
ProLife or ProChoice.

Choose your position
Then cast forth your voice....

Milanese artist Lomazzo,the theorist*
was also an idealist
He claimed a shroud was the Lord's face
&thus a divine self-portrait thereon, was traced

Pushy people-person, little silver fish
Inspiring idealist, with an iridescent swish
Swimming up the river, flowing all the way back down
Colour loving creature, too deep and you will drown
Ever-seeking others, happy in the shoal
Stop and think, when on the brink, are you happy in your goal

perhaps it's true
i admit it
i confess it
i'm an idealist
i want it all
i want the best
i don't want seconds

i'm not talking
about what's material
i want attention
i want affection
i want what's true
and from the heart

i'm an idealist
and don't expect
or want to
ever change

Those who kick the door to open
are rough-handed 

Those who knock at the door to open
are disciplined takers 

Those who wait at the door to open
are frequent losers 

Those who sleep at the door to open
are nothing doers 

Those who pray at the door to open
are idealist dreamers

Those who do not know where door is
are the lost...

When
Will we accept our idealist indirection? 
Deviated by selfish deviance;
byproducts of our own deceits. 

Hope
Remains in anonyms who grasp moralizing concepts. 
Courage must manifest promised tangibility. 

Despair
Cripples forces of hope;
Sprinkling dreary forecasts, only to be left in doubt.

Questionable answers are found, such as...
Why do we be what we are?

Listen to poem:

University days
Idealist dreams
Larger than life
Young and free
Wild and debonair
Our future ahead of us
Music without a care
No money
In our pockets
The world
In the palm
Of our hand
Life at its best

Homographs are delightful.
Spelled exactly alike 
But totally different meanings

Words like Boil
Dolly cart or dolly doll?
Blue – a feeling or a color?

Crest. 
A toothpaste? a hill or a rooster’s feathers?
Albatross – bird or burden?

Amazon.
Ancient Greek myth about superior female race
Parrot 
Or the obvious?

Politician
Self-serving millionaire in the making?
Liar? Thief? 
Or mislead idealist?...

He had a quixotic attitude
a true idealist
who believed in possibilities
the possibility of world peace
he spoke of this often
a spectacularly optimistic believer in goodness

he could have started a cult
if he had wanted to do so
a leader who inspired those lucky enough to know him
he passed at an early age
but left a marvelous legacy

he was a fabulous idealist
with a quixotic attitude
that has inspired many to try to achieve his level of optimism...

Of tomorrows, 
there were many drafts written by the 

cautious optimist,
dreamy realist,
half-hearted idealist,
world-is-my-oysterist. 

All previous versions of myself, 
anticipating future versions of himself.  

But life 
is a ruthless editor. 

And THIS!

This is a stretch,

at best a second cousin, twice removed from 
all those old drafts now sitting 
in the bottom drawer
of my mind, 

almost forgotten.

But not quite.

Not totally....

I've seen anger
and power
morph into hate.
And nations crumble
under siege,
when religious zealots
free the beast within.
And the blood flows red,
as Death demands an
exorbitant toll
for the fallen soul's
passage into heaven. 
The very wealthy
build their dynasties
by grinding the bones
of naive idealist
and the pious,
into the mortar 
for their monuments 
and crypts of stone.
The apocalypse,
a Martyr’s dream, 
or reality’s
nightmare?...

Passionate…     
I am forever the dreamer, a writer, an idealist, and an overachiever, 
who loves gardening, family, and Michael  
I have ideas about donating, volunteering, and helping others less fortunate 
I feel at times anxious, impatient, and disheartened about life in general  
I fear that we will never find the cure for cancer, racism, and world hunger
I want to sparkle, laugh, and spread more hope to others in my lifetime  
Resident of a resilient human race
