in the actual world"...

lack of approval
unreasonable demands—
our children matter
seeds of encouragement sprout
clean, prune, cultivate, nurture

What capable for
You qualified for
in life
Except for love
No rank for love
Don't ask why for
Unreasonable love
No detachment in love
So if heart fallen in love
Keep mind
as your safe boat...

Like a star alone I shine,
an islet I resist the monstrous wave
a microbe on an icy moon
a whole life may pass
but I`ll not forget, 
I crave justice

Unreasonable is my name
Unrelenting is my game....

don't share with me your lies,
why converse at all,
sweet words sinister and unkind,
make a man a fool,
heady thoughts of a mind in stupor,
your 'truths' unreasonable,
keep it to yourself next time,
honesty has rules....

I know I am being unreasonable,
And to have a pet hate like this is not reasonable, 
But I ask you is it reasonable,
For someone to hoard their sweets and chocolate beyond what is reasonable,
Making my response unreasonable....

In their world of senseless thought, I plead,
A dance of reason with an unthinkable mind.
Words like waves against the oceans rocky shore,
I must strive to find a common floor.
Patience, the compass to guide my hand.
Being unable to think like a just common man....

I have continually fantasized about this idea. This idea of dedication and devotion 
to one certain person. It was a frenzy of imoderation and infatuation.  It became a 
passionate obsession of mine. Im sorry, it was unreasonable for me to think that 
my fantasy could come true so easily....

Always
Conscious of
Considerable responsibility
Oath to none, but driven by self
Unreasonable guilt;
Never justified
Testimonial to morality
And unwavering devotion
Believing always
In taking the higher path
Living by a code
Invisible to most
Though terribly difficult on
Yourself...

Imagine a world where nothing exists
Where the only things that inhabit it are peace and equality
No one died because of disease or unreasonable cause
Everyone respected each other and wouldn’t dare cause violence
We have the power to create a world like this
Would you live in it?
Would you be the change to start it?...

All the mean things are said and have been done over the years hurt. The brown eye girl keeps telling him good bye but he won't listen. He calls her unreasonable. They are using the same pattern over and over again. They tell each other how they feel then one of them pushes the other away. The brown eye girl just wants him to stay away....

Up Up early
Full of pep
That was then
And this is now
How I hate them
Early mornings
Most unreasonable
Unyielding and demanding
But I did love them
Once upon a time
Seems so long ago
Now they're ruthless
I just can’t do them
Could it be
I’m simply past my prime

Fear comes and goes. 

Tidal waves.
 
Cleaning the shores,
repetitively.

I too, am afraid. 

Afraid of loss, 
Afraid of things which I can’t explain. 

And of the bird, 
deciding to depart, 
unreasonable. 

I want the bird to stay, 
and I know that it will. 

But the other bird might not, 
which leaves me feeling;

Nauseous....

No treaty is negotiable with the eager viral assassin.

Doubt the truth of gossip. What’s sadder than the unreasonable sucker?

Tribal outcries and worldly conceits are not impenetrable refuges.

May you all be sheltered and safe and may modern alchemy protect you.

May you have what you need and be happy.

We will rise or fall together....

appeasing waves
of unreasonable 
requests dumped 
upon the shoulders 
of the unsuspecting
victim 
creating an 
atmosphere
of subordinance  
to the irrationality
surrounding each
encounter which 
always seemed 
to required an 
amount of 
subservience   
towards 
unwarranted
maltreatment  
manifactured a 
continued state
of obedience...

Prime Suspect

Investigating the prime suspect was so hard
He wasn't smart as he taught he could bee
He kept giving unreasonable answers that got us mad
He made us chase him around like a bee
The torture we gave him made his wife and children very sad
He fainted due to the excessive bleed
He spoke the truth after speaking to his dad

We seem to have forgotten
That there’s a lion loose in a
Neighborhood of fear
Don’t sing this to me all these years later
The melody of a mane barely visible
The murky light of a beacon
That transcends a multitude of knowing
The fear is unreasonable 
But simultaneously real
Absent from vision, the roar
Is deafening
In the ears straining to hear
The sound of peace...

Up or Down?

By Elton Camp

Woman makes a demand
Quite unreasonable to man

Every reason she can see
To lower the seat after a pee

Lest she enters with a dash
And her buttocks go splash

Woman, look before you sit
If not, then don’t have a fit

Be glad no surprise you get
And find the seat all wet!

So please show some gratitude
Quit being unreasonably rude...

She sends her mom texts about how insane her father is acting.
Her husband sends her texts, explaining his daughter is being unreasonable.
She turns to me, her mother.
Fifty years, she says. I could never do fifty years.
I know, I reply.
I would have gotten out by now if I had murdered three people.
He is being unreasonable, she told me.
Taking the daughter’s side.
But silently....

I hate my green-eyes sometimes,
They’ll just glare at you and blame you for everything I do.
Why?

Love shouldn’t be this cold,
one wrong move and you’re gone and away from here.
Why?

You’d write poems about me, to me even.
We’d even create paper airplanes together.
So where has that all gone?

Surely I’m not going mad? 
Surely I’m not being unreasonable?
Surely I’m not wrong?...

I like you but I know we are impossible
The thoughts of you are unreasonable
You'd never look at me that way
No matter what I think or say
You are what I call rare
Is it because you show that you care?
Is it cuz you show good friend qualities
Now let me think of the possibilities
Me and you might never be
Because a friend is all you see
Wishing that things werre different
If only you knew what I meant...

O' GOD HELP THEM

So many dying
So many crying
Please God help them

Many are discouraged
People feeling they're not worthy
And this their story
Help them Lord Father God
Help them all today

And we pray for the dying people
As we pray for those whom are unreasonable
Please help us all Father 
Please God help them
Help them, help us find peace and love
