Fraternal Melee

Christians killing Christians,
politics trumping God

The Axis dared, the Allies fared
—shared lineage facade

Premium Member Cat-E-Gori-Cal

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

Lineage ( a Butterfly Cinquain)

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

With
earthly
green and blues,
his blended view
birthed
the
new way-
a bridge from
impressionist
art
to
abstract
expressions-
a father of
all

A Brother's Love

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.
Form: Verse


When Samuel L Jackson discovered his Lineage in Gabon

“…. It’s a deep thing to find out that you belong somewhere.”  
Roots

Roots
Drums

Tribe

That you belong somewhere, is a deep thing to find out.

After the Promise

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.

                    red, true

 flowing, agglutinating, testing 

lineage, pedigree, aquatic, rain 

   drizzling, diluting, irrigating, 

             cold, navigable,

Weather and Whether Truth Is Welcomed

For MY NON CHRISTIAN FAMILY, RSA:


S source of life, water, rain, cooler weather
I   I'm recovering from sin, my lineage
N No true healing without repenting; like rain in 
     Eastern Cape, Jesus's blood washes again and again. First in cleansing, then empowering

It's You

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

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.

Lingering Thoughts

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...

Lineage

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.

Squirrel Time

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?

Enthralling nature nurtures with care 
Awesome biosphere of the blue planet,
Repository of a unique habitat in lifeless space.
Tracing the diverse lineage of life’s evolution
Humans arrived to capture and usurp the land.

Premium Member Ways

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

Bengali Tiger Danger

X-A-Pacx
Smell power of aid
We dance through a complex enough circle, winning and losing.
Acid smell, magnesium burnin' rubber, i-see
Livin' rock n'roll, livin' dance puppet
BMW force and lineage, Merc all-around maker.
Holiday-Inn. Drive?
Bengali tiger on the loose, strap on that rope.
Sure I can, yes that's right I can.

Life

LIFE
Some say life has no end
While some say it has an end
That it ceases when
Someone living die

Some say that there is life
After the person has died
While some say that there
Is something call reincarnation

That reincarnation is when
Someone die and is born again
Through his or her family lineage
Or through a related lineage.

Al Vida Jim Link

At the Edge of my Tears
I could weave monuments with words
(But why shall I say much NOW?)
The Hindu child within my soul
Adored weaving flower-circles of honor
(And I wove many for thee, Friend)
Jim, I know my ancestors will surrender all
Their bouquets, their marigolds, proteas - though we -
You and I, are forever in Jesus' lineage, NOW

RUTH
her husband,son of a lady of leisure
her lineage,a tribe fro Lot's incest
they us left,a priceless bequest
thru Obed,Jesse,David they were able
to give us a child in a stable

TAILPIECE
it is not our background
natural gifts or net worth
or even the pigment of our skin-
with a clean sheet,forgiven
by grace,a new life,now can begin

Change

Clean our world,
Flush those empty bubbles,
My bulb has broken. 

I forgot to turn the switch on,
Lightning striking as my light,
I rebound to rebuke! 

Clean our world, 
Pack our moneybags, 
I am distributing to our people. 

They are humans,
Same blood, same spirit and same species!
They are my lineage. 

Lightning striking as my light.

Poet

Prince without a lineage
King without a throne

Master without servants
Lover of that unknown

Hearer of what’s unspoken
Seer of things divine

Lord among the jesters
Voice for all the mimes

Reason when excuses falter
Questioner when answers fail

Link between the seasons
First breath a baby wails
