Premium Member ANTS STONE CARRY-

bitty lit busy ants stronger than cinder -block busy moving ~ following the trail beaten path busy workers laymen in the grass

Premium Member Let Us All Give Thanks

Bless the breakfast
As we still fast when the meals late
Bless us all who masticate
Bless the bunch
While they crunch the lunch*
At the noon-day break
Bless the evening as the dinner bell rings 
When we all take bits and smatterings
Let us all give thanks

Amen says the laymen

Death's Silence

Pensive in death’s silence
my mind’s eye searching
for answers never revealed
by mortal form --
An advanced soul
encouraged by the moon
& the cross unseen
my essence wishing
to crawl in a world
of laymen
Being exceptional 
is unacceptable 
In a dome of questions
With answers
Not --
Living in a sacred slumber
I awake again to sleep . . .

COPLA CUARENTA Y SEIS: This Bad Guy World

Religious hate-mongers pullulate
Gullets stuffed full make laymen loathe:
Sacred totem

Even football wins dedicate
« To Country, Race and team-mates’ Faith! »:
Sport’s anathème

When prayers rise from stadium grounds
For wins against rival teams’ gods:
Holy Crusade

Who plays whom on consecrated grounds
Little gods dribble balls with swords:
Pray in stockade

But

I wanted beautiful faces all around       
But...!                          
I wanted to marry her his wife my beloved 
But...!                        
I wanted to teach poetry women students 
But...!
I wanted to hug and kiss any woman of my like  
But...!  
I wanted to roam as a vagabond country to country 
But...! 
I wanted to end my life when betrayed
But...!
I wanted to overthrow traditional politicians and let laymen rule
But…!
I wanted a saint’s life in far forests
But...!
