Christians killing Christians,
politics trumping God

The Axis dared, the Allies fared
—shared lineage facade

At the Oakland Zoo, a birth historical
Is neither fable now allegorical
An ape and lynx had a child
So gorgeous and so wild
With a lineage quite cat-e-gori-Cal

I speak
I am not heard
I cry you do not care
I scream into deaf ears until
you're grown
you're grown
in frustration your tears fall
you scream into deaf ear
your child -like you
I smile...

earthly
green and blues,
his blended view
birthed
the

a bridge from
impressionist
art
to
abstract
expressions-
a father of
all

There is a love that I
have found,
To which no ties of blood
are bound
Where no lineage can
be traced,
nor resemblance found upon
our face
Yet deep within a heart
so true,
A brother’s love found I;
In you....

The promptness of his
Forgiveness
Is a magi sty to me
The prospect of his love
Is magic you see
And
The lineage of his love
Which has echoed
Threw the year's
For those who Seth
His hope
There shall be no more
Tears'

Limerick : Once a scandal-ridden Monarchy

Once a scandal-ridden Monarchy
Took to breeding with Tom Dick & Harry
The last Prince with scant blue
Donned the saffron robe true
Thus Millésime House lost lineage Tree.

blood 

                    red, true

 flowing, agglutinating, testing 

lineage, pedigree, aquatic, rain 

   drizzling, diluting, irrigating, 

             cold, navigable,

                      water

For MY NON CHRISTIAN FAMILY, RSA:

It’s you I like…
Not your lifestyle
Not your sexual preference
Not your political persuasion
Not your skin color
Not your nationality
Not your choice of religion
Not your lineage
Not your wealth or poverty
   —it’s you I like

noble timeless art
brute strength and skill
reverence for the forces of fire
innate passion for working metal
precious knowledge passed down the ages
honoring with pride millennia of blacksmith ancestry

Made of a single line
Morphed haiku lineage
Masked emotions expressed
Molded in brevity
Mind of reader draws own
Mystique picture conveyed
Many meanings emerge.

Rooted in flow of thoughts. 
Wander, never to ponder, 
on a road; too many, taut! 
Not a wonder, then. 

Ruse moment; 'leash ire, 
not to calm a dent, 
but show more to dear. 
Bear in time, a lineage cot! 

Come stay, 
O slain but mighty! 
Beam of faded stars, 
lights of coloured world......

My grand father
is a father to my father,
and my grand mother
is a mother to my mother.
Today iam a father,
a father to my children
and my wife is a mother,
a mother to them.
One day or one time,
i will be a grand father
and my wife
will be a grand mother.
Oh, that's what i call a lineage....

What's the purpose of the tail
on the squirrel who's
practicing his Braille--
his body hidden by the tree
with only a tail visible
to me?

Sends he Morse code
with that appendage
to other varmints of his lineage,
that he's found a tree that's
rather fine, grace a' someone
who protects her Pine?...

Awesome biosphere of the blue planet,
Repository of a unique habitat in lifeless space.

Humans arrived to capture and usurp the land.

paradox ignites inquiry
separation of miles
simultaneous expression
heart, diamond, seven
sympathetic origins
obscured talents revealed
matriarchal lineage proffers
activation of decoded language
awakening old ways, water ways
path ways of vainglorious movement
ebb and flow of awareness
inquiry satisfied...
