I do not know?
let us face it
we are impacted
when love is betrayed
soul’s light is subtracted
we live in an imperfect world
burning with sin and rage
love’s flag not unfurled
till we come of age

IN LIFE’S GREAT EQUATION
Circling myself in a triangle spirit,
Today I squared all my efforts,
And my results doubled:
I added good and got better,
Subtracted evil, and got best;
And when I cubed this,
I achieved more-better-best:-
As weird as it may sound,
Rounding out everything,
It appears that at day's end,
I had a solid and blessed one:
All praises be for my life’s volume
Of God’s love, wisdom, and guidance:-

When she closed her eyes
the weight of the world went away,
she could be whatever or whomever
she wanted; nothing more than a dream to dream.
When she closed her eyes
the potential of the world was realized,
she could, with elementary arithmetic,
add it all up, give grace to God and be good.
There was not always time
to close her eyes. Sometimes she had to watch
the world this way; bent and brutal.
This too she subtracted for God.

I do not know?
Hymen intact, it was a long night
in the grave. A naked skeleton
trying to cover, after a broken skull –
by telltale hands. Failed weapons ?
To bring out the unborn child of a
rhyme? The shadow lengthens on the bird’s nest.
A moon subtracted from a sky, meets
the sobbing silence of a valley. The
virgins will be sold again.
Mind blowing pearl on a wedding day
becomes a dance of tsunami, engulfing a smashed
boat of a body.

Sun overhead
Our shadow is small
Heart heavy as lead
Back against a wall
Consciousness contracted
By believing that the caricature
Is us, magnificence subtracted
Crestfallen at our fallen stature
Within the bubble of illusion
We take to be reality
Sleep walking in delusion
We are our own casualty
Observing our coordinates
From a centred stance
As duality oscillates
We see our schizophrenic dance
In stillness

I don't always see things that I probably should.
I don't always do things that are considered to be good.
I don't always say things that are gonna be nice.
I don't always think before doing,sad cause I always give that advice.
I don't always mean what I say even though I say I do.
I don't always believe what you say even when you expect me to.
I don't always listen, sometimes I'm just easily distracted.
And I don't always care, sometimes feelings are better off subtracted.
