That Last Final Moment

Who declared politics
  a zero-sum sport

Where stadium’s freeze
  and statesmen abort

That last final moment
  in a sudden death game

With truth as the loser
  —forever in shame

(Villanova Pennsylvania: March, 2019)

Indulgence Denied

Birds of similar feather 
conspire together
when sores of society 
open chaotic doors.
A boiling abscess 
provides easy access.
Statesmen must team up 
before angry masses teem
and cross the threshold of justice.

Premium Member Scientists and Statesmen

How many tested
  How many cried
How many infected
  How many died

How many cheated
  How many lied
How many tweeted
  It'll all pass us by

Why can't we defeat it  
  Is it really so odd ~
When scientists and statesmen
  Keep their distance from God

Statesmen 17

We've learned what our statesmen seek to achieve:
Thinking we'd believe all that we receive.
We perceive each view and trick up their sleeve,
These elegant thieves, who try to deceive.
Mistaking our peeves, they call us naïve;
In lieu of reprieve - our sad hearts must grieve.

You don’t know where
you’re going
If you don’t know
— where you’ve been

For all evils
there are two

Catch 22

The professional politician
where statesmen learn to lie 

The professional politician

Statecraft

Delta. I was the fourth child.
The delta connection of a
triangular love. No blues.
Only cottony belly.

My copper coins. I want to save
them for making talismans.
My arms are entwined like
a python around the neck of a medusa.

That hairy push of a trident.
The stinging tentacles. The
polyp was enlarging. Now the
snake was shedding the skin.

Statesmen. They change their colour
like chamaeleon. Prehensile
tail trailing behind the witch-
craft of black goddess.

When anthro-privileged consumers
of massive monotheistic miscommunications
replace faith in compassionate StatesMen 
and bipartisan StatesWomen
with vainglorious hope
for straight white supremacist BusinessMen

Then what might have been a healthy 
polycultural democracy
has now become just another nationalistic 
monoculturing kleptocracy.

Sacred EarthMother
does not define
what matriarchal yin Beauty is,
and yet S/He seems to refine
what patriarchal yang Ugly is not.
