Short Unenlightened Poems

In the face of all words
The smile still
An unenlightened dog's cell!
 
From "Inland"...

Artists and poets use lies to reveal the truth.
Politicians,
and the unenlightened who support them,
only use lies to bury the truth....

You fling words
with the same concern
as skimming stones
offhandedly 
and
unenlightened 
not once
recognizing 
the escalating consequences 
upon the delicate ecosystems 
of the human psyche...

Always Be Careful During Elections. Frequently, Governing Hypocrits Initiate Judgements. 
Known Liberals Make New Opponents Pay. Quickly, Republicans Share Their Unenlightened 
Views, While X-factors Yield Zero....

Commonalities shared in true spirit
Congruent in every sense of the word,

Like souls drawn together;
Though the unenlightened deem them absurd.

Unfettered synaptic responses
Birthing emotional literary compilations,

Wholehearted unadulterated creative endeavors;
Soliciting the world’s adulation....

Wherein do dreams lie in your philosophy?
In the realm of a deluded mind?
In the chasing of mere fantasy?

Wherein does love go in your own mastery?
In surrender only to the world?
In check to give to one completely?

Wherein do hopes lead to sorrows only?
In a promise that clings to its vision?
In a heart that wants but joyous unity?...

"Oh, wisdom, 
why do you constantly elude my perception " In agony  
the unenlightened man inquired.  


"I have never eluded your perception my dear Man " Replied 
wisdom with a sigh. 
 
" I have been patiently waiting for years now for 
your conception to appear."

Two problems,
or
Two different angles,
Positive,
or 
negative,
backward,
or 
forward,
Approachable,
or 
non-approachable,
Cooperative,
or 
un-cooperative,
Awared,
or 
unwared,
awakened
or 
un-awakened,
A subject of life,
Enlightened,
or 
unenlightened
But
A path of Death,
A fear of darkness,
Then
An achievement of light....

Imitate, emulate, the way of the primate

unenlightened spirits control and subjugate

Your eyes can't see and your ears can't hear

that loss of the known is your actual fear 

Everyone talks, but few people know 

that change is crucial and needed to grow

Pry your eyes open and keep your heart pure

get acquainted with yourself and you'll know that for sure...

Bricks,
carefully placed together
upon the foundation of half-truths and lies
published everywhere
twisting minds to the other direction
towards a hall covered with fool's gold on the front
In the shadows,
the silver-tongues hold the real platinum
tons of it
equal in value to a billion bills
while they watch the unenlightened
trust their mythology
as if they're angels...

May you soon return
not as disempowered
disabled
and woefully unenlightened,
trespassing against integrity,
against peace
and restoring healthy justice

Nor even as an honored 
LeftBrain dominating guest.

May you soon return
to our compassionate Home,
where loving voices
courageously resound
for co-empowering dances
curiously sung
in co-enlightened scales
of benediction....

the seeing child 
exotic and special
an old soul

she had a history
unknown to those unenlightened
understood by the others

she saw well beyond her flesh years
the villagers flocked to her
asking for her advice

she was the shaman of their village
at earth age eight
understanding better than most

sharing a soul past
with those who would listen
more often those who were willing to hear...

All Hallow's Eve

A new year,
A new cycle.
Time to prepare.
Gather the crops.
Children Beware.
Ghosts and Goblins
And Faeries alike,
Will give you a scare
On Halloween night.
The blood moon is rising
Colossal and blazing.
Giving light to the covens
Gathered for praising.
So all who are frightened,
Afraid, suspicious,
Unenlightened,
Stay inside your home.
On All Hallow's Eve
The witches will roam....

Said the old widow cook
to the drag queen son
feeding his/her dying abusive dad,
while offering her nurturing donation:

"I don't want your money.
We're not savages, yet."

Other words
that might have come to
desecrating mind:
not for sale, yet
not that victimized
not that wounded
not that uncivilized
not that poor
not that disenfranchised
not that disempowered
not that unenlightened
not that devastated
not that resourceless
not that dispassionate
not that judgmental...
