Premium Member Kiss and Run

Please kiss and run, my only son
Her body is on fire.

Water rises,
Whisky on the table, 
A unique type of gold in a glass,
That type of woman isn’t in your social class
Moments like these are meant to last
No money to spend, but time to kill.
 My only son, a fall from grace,
Or a plunge from the hill
 
Take your misty mistletoe kiss
 Disconnect the extinguisher: 
That girl is on fire! Try not to diss
 
A battle beyond hopelessness for a woman in the ghetto
A segment of labor and a segment of pain

My son it appears that you are navigating your life 
In a fast pace of unsophisticated women:
... 

1 Peter 5:8 Be sober-minded; be watchful.
 Your adversary the devil prowls around like a roaring lion,
 seeking someone to devour.

Premium Member Mind of the Heart


“feeling not thinking, soul with love linking~
we attained God consciousness unblinking”
 - UnseekingSeeker 


I pledge myself to You
I sign this covenant
with the eyes of my heart open
step through the veil you rent

The logical mind cannot fathom
the love you feel for us
So believe we with our souls
the seat of love and trust

For all your mighty power 
you do not see with the eye
without fovea, cone and rod,
without retina besides

To you we have no gender!
No color, race, or social class!
For “the last shall be first
and first shall be the last”

No deformity will challenge 
your choice to know us and care
Nor the price we pay for clothing
we stand before you bare

The minds of men are unequal
to the task to comprehend
Yet with the soul, the heart
we can truly understand

We catch a tiny glimpse
when first our eyes behold
the gift of a child placed
in weary arms to hold

In the eyes of a bride
as her beloved husband to be
Swears his vows of love eternal 
and fierce fidelity 

So this covenant between us
of love and loyalty
I pledge not just with my mind
but with all I have in me.
Form: Rhyme


And so, we write

we write as if it is our last night
we write whether it be with lead or ink or typed
we write alone or in a crowded environment
we write come rain or sunshine
we write because we want our stories to be told
we write through every phase; it is universal
we write even if our voice is never heard
we write when we are loved and when all hope is lost
we write regardless of our social class
we write because it feels wrong to stop
we write because it helps connect us 
we write because we are all writers at heart
we write until our last breath on earth

Premium Member Soul's Cry


Can you hear what I'm hearing?
I hear a cry, loud and clear,
blowing across the nation from sea
to shining sea; from the lowlands
and valleys in the east to the
highlands and mountains of the west.
It is the CRY OF THE SOUL!

From New York City to San Francisco,
Miss Liberty feels a threat. Her bell rings
out far less Bill of Rights. I hear cries
of agony dressed in fear and protest.
It is the CRY OF THE SOUL!

Such a cry can only be sounded by those who.
have tasted the sweetness of freedom and would
rather die than live without its liberty.
It is the CRY OF THE SOUL!

Such is not a cry encumbered with a thirst for
things material, but rather one from the soul,
bleeding red, white, and blue tears enough to
fill the nation's lakes, rivers, and reservoirs.
It is the CRY OF THE SOUL!

Hear ye well, every social class, rich or poor,
educated, elites, or commoners. We do well to listen
to the soul's cry. Such a cry cannot be bought or sold,
will never go on vacation, be placated, or evaded.
It is the CRY OF THE SOUL!


Why Not Just Before That

Seconds after shaking my head 
in benign amusement,
I got it,
our social class was a major determinant

Teachers

They taught
and made claims they helped dyslexics
Mr Cavalry was one such
and Mr Depieu was rumoured to have taught in a French Colony
Time will discreetly raze their self sacrifice
Headteacher Tuffnell on BBC Panorama
Listen to the ear to gain insight
and to your Reproduction lessons
of eternal rabbits multiplying 
Of November poppy's
representational gallantry,
and who loved the Stones over the Beatles
and of CSE's
your perfect social class strata
And Mr Tom Dodds your eternal
teddy boy arts teacher

Ragtime For Nobility

Let's get up and make a stand
It’s time to appease the First World Man
He’s got his looks and he’s got his books
It’s time to hang the rich from hooks

It’s ragtime for nobility
A dirty call-to-arms
Get back to true civility
And the world of timeless charms

The Kings must bow their dying heads
The peasants must take back their bread
Get ready – it’s our time instead
To wake up in four-poster beds

It’s ragtime for nobility
A national parricide
Loot every last facility
And take this baby for a ride

Ragtime –
So flag down the junkman
It’s Depression-era bliss
All over, all over again

Let's get up and make a stand
It’s time to appease the Third World Man
Time to adopt his own green tongue
And carve tribal scars into our young

It’s ragtime for nobility
A bloody call-to-arms
A rite of male virility
In the face of modern bombs

Ragtime for nobility
Goodnight to the past
Conform each’s ability
To a new kinda social class

Officer and Gentlemen

Officers and Gentlemen 

I think this was the name of the movie I saw a romantic love story 
of an officer aspirant and his girlfriend who worked in a factory.
When he passed his exam, he walked into the factory claiming
his trophy. 
It was ever so romantic, brought tears to many eyes, it raised 
a social class issue here, the movie was made before the woke
 mentality and Me-Too took hold.
His friend who also studied to become an officer had a girlfriend 
whose dream was marrying an officer.
He was not that keen to be one, broke off the study and told her
they could get married now buy a house and have kids 
A sulk walked across the girl’s face, and her dream was crushed
She didn´t love him, but the illusion.
She refused to marry a mere civilian.
Devasted, he understood she had not loved him, her words
of love was fantasy walking down the high-street, arm in arm
With an officer.
The young man felt betrayed and lied to boked into a hotel 
got a room and, later that day hung himself.

Green Turtles

Green turtles are listed as, endangered
and are mainly found, in tropical and sub-tropical sea oceans
they are one of the largest sea turtles, to have ever embraced our oceans
 and are the only Sea Turtle herbivore, and a great sea ocean mentor

Green turtles graze on seagrasses, that helps maintain beds of seagrass
and when they have digested, going to the dunny release’s vital nutrients 
for many species of plants and animals, as they thrive with stimulants
and seagrass beds are nurseries, for species to amass their social class

Sea turtles need beaches for nesting, but humans are encroaching
and they harvest their eggs, and hunt the adults for greedy investing
Coastal development, vehicle beach traffic, and other human activities 
are destroying sea turtle nesting, and climate change is male declining

Premium Member Where Is the Sky

Blue sky on day light
Multi shape of grey, white clouds
Randomly transfer

Dark sky at nighttime
Sparkle stars spread in vague screen
Moon isn’t ever full

Behind dark and blue
The Man’s eyes cannot attain 
But an endless guess 

Universe gobbles sky
That covered anybody’s head 
Man’s faith since his birth  

The ritual faith that  
Originated the social class:
Man stoops other Man 

Might the souls fly high 
To bind on clouds, moon or stars
Since there is no sky

Lexicon

I asked
what do you do for a living
and there was silence
I asked again 
socially
just to fill the empty spaces
this time to find a silence
before he said 
*********** with a pause
child ***********
do you mind.

Once painting a house
in trade for a much appreciated car
I pulled a bed out 
to discover 
soft 
padded 
metal rings 
chained on every corner
what are these I asked
not socially for I was really curious
I didn’t need to know he told me
hiding his padded handcuffs
deep under the covers.

Walking home one night
I found myself yelling foul mouthed 
fear filled obscenities
at two laughing boys
as they ran their car straight at me
no deviation, no variation in line
just the screech of the oil pan
the spray of hot oil
hissing onto the street
as it hit the tall curb.

not thinking
they meant to kill me
not thinking of pain
not thinking of deviations
or small deaths 
some days my naiveté’s frighten me
if I have the words.

Inflictions of Whiteness

A white Santa showed a child the skin tone of the top brass
A white doll to an innocent black girl contrasts ugliness

A white wedding was beauty redefined as a cloak on a lass
A white Jesus, before we repented, repainted righteousness

A white collar is how we elevated and segregated a social class
A white angel flew from heaven and misrepresented its race

A black me is fighting a mind conditioned to be last
A black me is sometimes a victim of an innocence of whiteness
