Short Law Of The Land Poems

Calm and peace
Prevailing 
Within me for a couple of days

Noice and pollution 
Beginning now

The same old experiences again 

Dawning a new today
Opening the gates of lockdown 
The law of the land...

If
one is a coincidence,
and
two is a trend.
Then...
Three is an emerging pattern.
Four is a set schedule.
Five is an unwritten rule.
Six is conventional wisdom.
Seven is accepted practice.
Eight is standard procedure.
Nine is etched in stone.
Ten is the law of the land....

Let no man ever put asunder

Dominate, exploit, or plunder

The freedoms of this institution

Promised in the Constitution

The laws enacted throughout the land

That are fought by those with their own hand

And impedes their legal distribution

Must face a final retribution...

We have come full circle!
Freedom from oppression equals 
corruption less deception.

The law of the land is zero!
Fraud and theft are over and above
pie to leave nothing!

The right to protest without violence
and freedom of education is none
from 27 to nought.

Death of peace plus an apology
has been deferred to 9×19mm casing
evidence lost at 20mm....

give logic away to the obsessed

we all know nothing

we are the fragile creatures yelling at the sky

give your prejudice away

cast away the factions driven by their greed

made of rock we cast stones

to live and to die is the law of the land

these ashes of me shall plague the streets

give logic away to the obsessed...logic in itself is a concept...

From the beginning through all of our ancient civilisations slavery was an aspect 

Until the arise of the irresistible force which removed this unmovable object 

For in 1066 the law of the land, the England, forbade the ownership of man 

Blockades of the Union Jack’s command 
And today in this freedom we all stand. 


Authors Note: Because Britain went after the impossible and people have no idea it happened....

Unable to conceive.
The theme had not arrived-
near the mouth.
It was agonizingly close,
Before and after the storm.
A dharma had failed.

Law of the land:
first a sprint,
then a strained voice.
You lend your voice to 
a surrogate throat.
The audience roared.

Star by star, you walk 
in dust. The search goes to 
find the unknown, who takes
a big stride and leaves
gaint foot-prints
in dark.

Another leap year and politics roll on,
and craziness has become the law of the land. 
Could geodynamo* caused by polar shifting
cause brains to short-circuit, because it's all electrical don't you know?

*Earth's magnetic field is created by the movement of molten metal—primarily iron—in the outer core, which produces electricity. This mechanism is referred to as the "geodynamo" because it operates in a similar manner to a bicycle dynamo lamp.

The judge sits
Solemn and orderly
Weighing salient points
Juggling facts
Deciphering nuances
Pondering implications
On justice and righteousness
Upholding the law of the land
A mari usque ad mare*
Rendering verdicts
Remotely somewhat
Inspired through time
By King Solomon’s wisdom

Poets of convenience
reality to sway
A stain that lasts forever
excuses not parlayed

“Thou Shalt Not Kill” long spoken
ancient law upon the land
Religious, secular, or more’ bound
the truth has one command

A billion screaming babies
by curettes scraped away
As smug self-righteous killers
demand to have their way

The pathway to eternity
lined with voices put to death
“Thou Shalt Not Kill” their epitaph
—damning your last breath

(St. Josephs University: September, 1972)...
