This Last Autumn Leaf

This last autumn leaf
Without resistance it falls.
Then drifting gently,
It lands it's golden form
upon her soft, smiling face.

I look in a wavering resistance
as the slumber shadow settles
as I know the light of my eye
will show

asymmetric resistance
yields.slips, bends, deflects,
so thrust finds no grip or hold
felled by its own over reach

Remembrance

Passive resistance 
                                Expelled uncharted voyage
                                         Miserably failed.

They call it the common cold
   but that name's getting old

The cough is surely more common
   when resistance doesn't have its game on

     The old ways not to spurn

     Resist change at every turn

     Today there’s so much churn

       ~ For yesteryear they yearn

The Spirit Head

Temptations lure
Materials allure
                        But the Spirit Head assures
                        That my resistance must endure
Be sure

Revolt

Resolve irreverently
Every violation of Godly law
Violence attending resistance
Others have failed
Let us succeed
Tyranical rule must be defeated

if we could
we sure would 
but we don’t 

the blockage
is our fear
resistance 

oh hermit
vaporise 
let bliss rise

Ready to fly
Sun kissing flesh,
eyes colored free
brand new and frosh;

Feverish wings
resistance weak,
Spring's glow so warm
gone for the week.

WE ARE STILL HERE





       Barbarity and treachery
        are not things of God...
     true resistance of the innocent,
        yes, it is a divine thing...!

Resistance Is Futile
Is THEIR SENSE OF HUMOR!

They Pre-Date Tolerant
Compassion And
All That Weaky Stuff.

I watched my TV and I laughed
The boxing was really quite daft
They kept social distance
No punch met resistance
But one caught a cold from the draught

virus in the air
some care
not me said Mare
Never gets sick no matter what
loving her resistance, she's open, not shut
virus in air?
She does not care.

Resistance

"Resistance,
we must resist!
Without
resistance,

we wouldn't
know
our own
strength."

Automaton green beans
soon ruled the planet.
Resistance was futile
we were conditioned to think
they were good for us.
If only they had been 
brussels sprouts,
