Frivolous action,
begets random outcomes.
Heartache and despair ensue.

Reasoned action,
entails planned results.
Success ensues.

Heed your actions....

If some is good
more is better
Less is threatened
all enslaved

If more is reasoned
less is questioned 
Good intentions
—hell repaved

The wind whipped
The bent tree
The tea sipped
The cut knee

The suffering reasoned
The brave hunkered down
The meat was seasoned
The stranded wore a frown

The water rose
The stranded were fearful
Citizens sowed...

Reasoned emotion,
the right and the wrong

Obverted direction,
both weak and both strong

Impassioned, enlightened,
the mind and the soul

The moment on fire
—humanity whole

Backround information,
footnotes of the weak

Substantiating all excuse,
data incomplete

Reasoned explanation,
wishful thinking’s tool

For dilettante’s to build a stage
—to dance and play the fool

There’s a zone beyond safety
  where the timid can’t go

Beyond reasoned decision
  intuition to flow

Past valor and triumph
  past glory and fame

There’s a zone beyond safety
 —last moth to the flame

Can you own the present,
  while renting the past

Can you steal back the truth,
  from the future at last

Will the reasoned excuse,
  ever be reason enough

For all questions to merge
  —with the answers rebuffed

(Villanova Pennsylvania: November, 2016)...

Is there truth without belief,
 facts left on their own

Disconnected from themselves,
answers poorly shown

Can dogma live in vacuums,
when empty of itself

Will formulaic reasoned minds
—conscript what goes unfelt

Beyond all critical thinking,
above what’s right or wrong

There’s a different understanding,
where words turn into song

With a deeper sense of freedom,
light shines upon itself

All reasoned dialectic,
left abandoned, lost—unfelt

Lives, pears, pair-ed, peered, Structured.
Leaves, fashions, untouched.
Hearts rests on-ed silvered platters.
Fingers noticed ,less, much-ed.
Then-ed
Throats and tongues!
Captures cleft-ed flowers!
String---ed audiences reasoned.

Somethings undoubted-ly"ed Borrowed!!...

SOME
Through the eye-of-eye
Have seen
Then, soon forget
Where they have been…

SOME
Pride their selves
For where they’ve been-
While others fear
Who’ve never stepped their unmarked-scene

All- reluctant
To time, all in its endless-chime
But, who will ever convince TIME?...

When I was a child I thought as a child, reasoned as a child, spoke
As that a child; but when I became a man, I left childish things behind....
Too many 'I's,' we find; tis not my thing this me inside, these eyes ? Mirrors

Trophy Hunters eradicated lesser one-horned.
Traditional medicine was reasoned then killed.
The colonial era malignant apartheid seized.
Tragic wildlife ranches endangered.
Tremendous Javan Rhinos died.
Tied mud wallow was converted, the game started.
Trapped maggoting man heart wolfed....

Swirling and twirling,
reasoned as beasoned.
King of viciousness
Hence this example.
Longing the castle.
Defending and crushing insults
Head2Head destruction
Stamping on your deformed heads.
I will destroy your eyes
Dark like the backside.
Don't come to me
You're over.
I control it....

Convicting Thoughts
August 1968
By Miracle Man
January 15, 2021

I reasoned why to me they came,
convicting thoughts that appeared;
God released me from my shame.

Things God thought I need know,
He introduced Jesus, to be revered;
Heart now possesses an inner glow.

Never trying to cheat the reader,
  my words stay plain and few

The road direct, horizon vast,
  as truth comes into view

Each word unclaimed, a promise kept,
  the wait your reasoned choice

To breathe the future from the past
 —this present freshly voiced

(Villanova Pennsylvania: March, 2018)...

My thoughts like vultures circle the remains of your memory
The prey is my love for you, why it does not die I do not know
My heart betrays me, but I can not betray my heart.
Dreams can’t be reasoned with; the past can not be swept under the carpet 
The mere mention of your name rips the mask of indifference from my face....

From silver to gold,
  the years marched along

As language emboldened
  its words into song

The grey of my twilight
  a welcome relief

All reasoned excuses
  another’s belief

As the winds through the canyon
  blow the valley to sand

This ending now welcome
  —beginning again

(Villanova Pennsylvania: March, 2015)...
