Short Labelling Poems

labels
not designer
not sewn in
attached firmly and instantly 
seen clearly upon arrival.
Sadly...

Stop analysing 
No need to dissect 
Stop labelling 
No names just accept

Stop obsessing 
No need to overreact 
Stop complicating
Keep simple and intact...

What if I say yes to Federal SARS;
Will they ever stop seizing big cars,
Or stop killing the innocents?
Labelling it as accidents;
While flexing and dancing to guitars......

Being
Becoming
Self-defeating
Mean labelling


Address
Vain caress
Self-destructive
Touch explosive


Manage
Such garbage
Mad emphasis
Empty stasis

You are a goth, you don't like to conform
you don't like labelling yourself 
your not always depressed and
suicidal like stereotypical goths
who are people who think goths are violent
and depressed, you are not a poser,
you are you...

conspire with my foes
trying to analyse me
labelling me badass
thinkin i'd shed a tear again
baby,what happened?
u were a sweet little girl
the day we met
i thought u'd grow into a lady
so i waited
there you go baby
i gotta let you live
so you've been telling me....

Acoustic Guitar

My fingers dance on the slender body
I am harmoniously in love with it
It's always there to resonate my heart
I get drowned in its soft chords

Away from the world, in the parterre
We both go string labelling
With pronounced active pickups
It's semitones enter the fathoms of my soul


Contest-Music to my soul.
Spoñsor-Laura Loo.

Intuitively labelling objects,
attention fixated on illusions,
we see only what lower mind reflects,
coming to erroneous conclusions,
thus nurturing deepening delusions.
Tied to mind”s tree, we can never be free
but if we dwell in the vast void carefree,
our soul presence is then divine aligned,
ego recedes and head and heart agree;
soul’s eye opens, on bed of truth reclined....

Religious sermons invoking deep fear
damage the fabric of gullible souls,
inducing deluded beliefs that sears,
labelling God as a revengeful ghoul;
far cry from touch of love, making us whole.
The rot of religion has sunk in deep.
The path is easy; preachers make it steep.
Reject, oh hermit, teachings that contract.
Gods love alone real and in all hearts seeps,
which purity of heart, gently attracts.

Society wants to stick me into a chair and label me.
I think it is hilarious.
I have an identical twin.
If they gave us each ten labels, we would not end up with
a single one that is the same.
We have the same face, laugh, voice, and mannerisms.
Society would not understand.
For they are not us.
They cannot get into our mind.
They want to tear our hearts out by labelling us.
We are the same in this only.
We both laugh at her....

Have grocery stores become delivery systems?
Bearing insidious alterations in organ function?
I asked my local grocer-
"Please show me the labelling of GMO products you carry"
His reply-
"I'm not responsible for the content you consume"
My reply-
"Fair enough, who is"
His reply-
"Way above my pay grade, buddy"
My reply-
"Then your response is...buyer beware?"
His reply-
"Your words, not mine"
From that moment I decided, food

....is the new wild west...

Arabic labelling on bottles of water,
Room overlooking bricks and mortar,
Men want tips for being your porter,
Getting to food is a pitiless slaughter.

Piles of olives and eggs sit just right,
In bowls coloured an abyss of white,
Odd cuisine makes a peculiar sight,
This is the date I’ll be having tonight.

Cold meat and ham sit on your plate,
Plenty queues; too much time to wait,
Stomach rumbles, hunger won’t abate,
Hurry it’ll all be gone if you arrive late!...

Does faith need a church
To feel close to God
Does praying in numbers
Feel more part of God's squad

Does faith need a bible
To know right from wrong
Does dubious history
Help people belong

Does faith need a vicar
Or priest to be near
To make it more likely
God will hear

Does faith need labelling
And given a name
Only praying with people
Who feel just the same

My faith has no rules
I simply believe
God is my maker
He's every breath I breathe...

Brussel

I dream of a river clear
As a nun’s tears
In a landscape of flowers.
Bees, don´t sting
Nestles is banned.
Honeysuckles 
Is a dulcet word.
I think of a woman
who came to my village?
Years ago.
Her smile lingers
Her laughter
Alentejo wine
Not the supermarket type
With plastic top
And fake labelling.
The river of love
Runs to Brussel.
This is odd, Brussel  
Is a rain heavy place
And little else.
Except
For wonderful chocolate
And tasty beer....
