Understanding the nature
of what seems strange
appears to be a choice
between selecting
and rejecting....

Man’s attempt at 
  usurping creation

Rejecting all dogma,
  —becoming divine

nothing i do 
make a difference
it only makes an issue

for better or for worse
life goes on
loving its own

accepting, rejecting
status quo...

Republicans have a grand cause:
Exonerate all of Trump's flaws
But voters said, "Nix!"
To Trump's dirty tricks
By rejecting his Doctor Oz!...

Expressing
digesting
protesting
frustratedly stifled.

Projecting
rejecting
infecting
frustratedly rifled.

Frank Stela was so postpainterly
an abstractionist as you can see*
emphasising 'flat surfaces' nothing more
rejecting emotional gesture thats for sure

Accept the notion! Reject the notion!
Either way, you are placing entirely
too much confidence in mere notions.
Entertain the notion,
neither accepting nor rejecting
ah! now that is a sign of maturity!...

All truth is hidden
  between left and right

Rejecting opinion,
  buried in light

Its message transparent,
  its power sublime

Defying position,
  —master of time

I am My Mother’s Child,
Knitted in her womb,
I form part of your being,
So when you’re rejecting me
You’re rejecting you too
Because i am partly a reflection of you
Half of me is half of you
I am My Mother’s Child...

This chill caused by 
the pills of rejecting
our life's will, unknowingly 
ignoring the purpose for which
we decided to till is what
will kill any skill which
we may have long drilled into the heads. ...

Thoughts
running
elusive 
untamed, fleeting
boldly tenacious 
and frightened at the same 
time.  Rejecting rest, pacing
agitated and demanding
in constant motion until embraced
in the soothing arms of a centered mind....

Feeling sublime looking for a perfect rhyme
rejecting halftime, bedtime, downtime
considering the pleasant tinkle of a chime
making faces at the sound of slime and grime
settling for a garden of lime and thyme.

Repelled by tradition
  and past status-quo

I enter the jungle
  where hides the unknown

Rejecting excuses
  and all that’s passé

My bow is drawn tightly
  —with fear now my prey

Listen to poem:

Hand Me Down Past
David J Walker

As if to say 
	What if It came to pass 
Taunting the future 
	With unproven ideas

Rearranging 
		the constellations 
Rejecting
 the hand me down past

As if to say
	How quaint 
	And 
Thank you 
Anyway...

Can I still hate your politics
  and love your music

Do I have to hate your wife
  to feel your pain

Can I still love the message
  after rejecting its meaning

Do I have to choose between
  —again and again

(Villanova Pennsylvania: August, 2015)...

I am you, you are me.
I feel your pain, your joy.
every emotion you hold
within.
Hopefully you feel the
same towards
me.
If you reject me.
You are rejecting yourself.
I will be part of you
through eternity.
Although we live in
separate bodies we
are one....

Refusing to be labeled,
  rejecting type and cast

With choices so enabled,
  my freedom first and last

All fantasy as token,
  its myths now cast aside

My path remains unbroken,
—false branding singed with lies

Drowning in oxygen,
Freezing burns,
Tight space,
Why is this all weirdly normal?
Everyone is clearly confused
Because suffering silently,
Obsessive love,
Slowing plummeting
Isn’t to you acting normal?
I’m rejecting humanities contradictions
We become oxymorons...

With no respect for labels,
  dead branches on a tree

Refusing thrice to do the dance,
  a worthless reverie

Rejecting their consensus,
  all singing to the choir

Each word anew I write in blood
 —whose truth I do aspire

(Villanova Pennsylvania: February, 2018)...

You have to cross the perimeter,
  for your border to expand

Stepping over the line,
  of yourself to demand

You have to follow that inner voice,
  calling out sacred and new

Rejecting false limits,
  on your way to the truth

(Villanova Pennsylvania: May, 2017)...

Little boy blue 
So angry
So cold
Full of torment
Angry birth
Angry child
Your love was stolen
Years of tears
Bitter words 
I wanted your love 
But you forgot me in your contempt
Sadly rejecting my womb
Rejecting my love
Your heart full of hate 
For the one that loves you...

I did love and worship
Rejecting in hardship
All diverting things

In honor all divine things
I kept 
O how I felt
On these days when I slept
Less yearning for the jest
In hearts

Unthankful is that radiance
Unless humbly I raise
My confessions to bless
My oft sinful soul...

Like a blanket or quilt,
  the Muse wraps me in consciousness

Sealing me in with her warmth
  each night rejecting the cold

Like a filter or screen,
  the Muse tempers all consequence

 Under her protection and safety
   —words sleeping untold

(Villanova Pennsylvania: March, 2015)...
