And placate the worst....

but sadly, most parents use this technology to entertain and placate them....

Loud hollow shell
Glorious silent vacuum
Quiet echo bell

Invoke impartial gloom  
Atomic detonation bomb
Renovate the tomb 

Appease the qualm
Placate to quell 
After noise, calm...

We Hate To Wait

What always happens is We Hate To Wait;
Want to be productive and then procreate;
Thought about;
Did have doubt;
In the end we peacefully tried to placate.

Placate By Not Being Late

My appearance was designed to placate,
Which is why I will not ever be late;
Strife's do bare,
With much care,
No one humiliate and do often vegetate.

You have to be immortal
to placate the gods

Time reaffirming
all memory of

Creation, destruction,
eternity looms

For those who believe
—appeasement exhumes

Placate me 
Entertain me
Make me laugh

Show me the way
Show me my best side
Pump me up

Guide me into better days
Enjoy my essence
Share my truth

Remind me I am better than okay
Build me up
As I tear you down...

AFRICA

Animals you wouldn’t want in your bathtub
Frighten the tour guides more than the tourists
Runaway donkeys slow down traffic
Intricate methods of bribery placate government officials
Citizens double the price to white faces
Adoring children make it possible to overlook the impossible...

Clear sky does pleasant eye awake
Warm sun on placid skin placate
Soft songs sung by migrant birds
Add to the harmony all peace reserved
Wander thoughts and feet together
Scenic glory whatever  the weather
I would if life allowed
Sit here pondering every cloud
And wish that I could pass each day
In this most reverent way...

Unsuspecting and unafraid
Bless your naivety!
Dashing from out your home in the woods
Just to sit by me.

You cannot know what I am;
The race I represent.
Has not badger told you, warned you?
Rock-ledged bobcat, down-bent!

Or are there some among us
I, one such fortunate
Spilling or not, nibblings like secrets
Innate wildness placate?...

Mister Cat adjusted his spectacles,
Upon his nasal receptacle,
As he spoke to his kittens three.
Why must you climb the one tree
In Widow Calico's prim front yard?
You know there are trees out back
Without fear of a sneak thwap attack 
From Widow Calico's trusty broom.
Now you must play in your room,
While I placate the old shrew
With a fresh pot of mousy stew!

ANTE MERIDIAN

I didn’t have my coffee 
I didn’t smoke my cigarette 
I don’t face him – I am too bitchy – 
so many words in the marriage
they come out like glazed ants
irrational “good morning”

I understand my womanhood 
in an amazonian way
an I placate my own voice
in the exertion of waking up

he dances a kiss on my cheek
to peel off the numbness
and dulcifies the leap 
from dream to reality...

Each domain a unique template,
within which we try to placate,
illusions that rise and subside,
cloaked as fears and desires that bait.

As divine light, why would we hide,
when in the void we wingless glide,
recognising life as a tease,
where outcomes we let God decide.

Oh hermit, embrace and release
each impulse with nonchalant ease,
as we endure, keeping heart pure,
with no demons left to appease....

Joy’s a vibe we cannot describe 
because no sooner we do so,
pulse of magnetism we proscribe,
impeding soma nectar’s flow.

The trick’s of course to bilocate,
making void-centric our soul’s stance,
that with no thought forms to placate,
life’s then an unending romance.

The pathless path we walk upon,
appears step by step by intent,
wherein we’re breath by breath reborn,
delighting in our soul’s ascent....

For every step I take forward
I move two steps backward
For every time I look at a view
My feet somehow seems to end up in poo
For every time I run a mile
I end up totally covered in a smile

But why you ask does this happen to me
I dont know why myself you see
I seem to placate all nature above
For apart from this I have a great love
My feet seem to have a mind of their own
walkin and turnin whenever its dawn...

weather report

sun is lost again
air is drab,  too close,
perfect affectation to 
play across the landscape
of my muffled mind.

many days have begun 
and/or ended this way.
neighbours send up fire 
crackers to placate god 
break up the celestial portents.

explosion, fire, reveals
the bland face of cloud which
blocks our  visions. neither wizard 
nor rain maker needed. we 
end with a calamitous whimper....

Wrappings long have been trashed 
A few nics encompass some character 
Sunlight drenched a deteriorated discoloration 
But still bravely I'm standing tall

Dark eyes forlorn for affection
As time's quickly winding down
A misfit struggling for acceptance
Watching others merrily marching on

Basement bottom feelings placate
Another piece of lead has broken off
Retired metal wheels of destruction 
Soon to be lying in a cloud of dust...

Ego

Ego runs with all us humans male and Fe and I don’t mean iron
It can dominate, placate, and even annihilate everything that makes us civilized human 
beings
But seen as it is and put in perspective it is merely another tool granted by our lord as a 
drastic means of teaching
Many things humility foremost among them, but what I have learned most about ego is
As with everything else it has its uses and there is always a time and a place....

Listen to poem:

guided streams  of bright lights few squeeze through a crystal tight sky 
colours this nature scene brand new a freshly baked pumpkin spiced pie

a random popsicle purple glaze
a toddler's finger painted blaze

the friendliest of all the river trees
dances calmly with a random breeze

the sun dives into his liquid bronze fate
as the wild plants wave back to placate 

daily harmony here come with ease 
while humans struggle just to appease...

i used to think i wasn't flexible
but i'm beginning to see
that i am bending over backwards
just to placate you
my spine is in ruins
my muscles have all torn
i sit here in front of you as nothing more
than a useless pile of thoughts and emotions
what else do you want from me?
was my body not enough?
here is my heart
my soul
take them
they're yours
i can only bend so far
i can only stretch so much
until i break
and i have broken
i have broken...

Half-mooned I have left the envy.
The basic instinct of lesser love
for my failing god.

Come to me, my cloaked enemy,
a sweet lover of pain
in the milky hours.

Mother of seeds was far away
and you wanted to suck on the
pollen from the wings of honeybees.

Soft and cruel, I cannot leave you
nor I can abandon the post.
The war cry was coming nearer.

Was it a virginal drink to –
placate the lips of a flame ?
Time will never know the ultimate.
