Rent a ranter'

I observed quite stunned as lambie
Voicfully blundered
T'was indeed.. A great vicseral verbal chunda.! Contradictve.!
As it goes.. Is she addicted.? I guess
God only knows.?
Educational standards.? Of this minister?
All seems so skewed, I think indeed she is
More like a (sin-ister) maybe been speeded up
By the w e f.? I have suspicon shes of the
Left.? Or p'raps past any known reference point? I fully expected to hear an oink.' I guess
I ln Davos they've flattered her hard.'said you
Are the only clever person, a star.!
All other Aussies being only retards.' And i'll bet.? 
As they say in America..She swallowed
The  whole nine; yards.!

Time Today

Time Today
	
Time 
does not behave 
as expected in this place 
I find myself. 
The very thought of a clock
on the wall is somehow... 
profane against the moment. 
Things have slowed down, 
and speeded up, 
in my mind. 
My heart feels it... 
My soul knows it... 

Time 
is not lost, but found here. 
It is not made waste, 
but used like gold to fashion 
rings for a King, 
held in place by miracles
unseen... 
except and yet...
like only light beams
in the clouds 
after storms. 

Time lets rainbows be... 
for us to see, 
and let go. 
You know. 
Even if you don't want to
there are no exceptions
to the rule, 
of the hour, 
the minute 
the second... 
the last breath.

Like Lightning Speed

".... could not stop for death- he kindly stopped for me-

               the carriage held just ourselves and immortality."   

                                    Quote by _ Emily Dickinson


Scenes of my life passed by at lightning speed.
Everything in my being wants it to slow down,
in that moment as I thought that very thought 
to my surprise at once, it slowed immediately.
I started to see things more precisely and clearly. 
I studied each nuance, I was no longer blind,
I was gifted with a brand-new pair of eyes.
I found the beauty in any and everything I saw,
things that I thought meaningless and useless;
had much value and was very important to me.
My heart and my soul were bubbling over with 
love, I appreciated all big or small life was good,
Then it speeded up again and then it was over.

Harvest

He sang seven songs of freedom
Whilst his cat danced a jig
And his monkey rode side saddle
On this pot bellied young pig
And the people of the village
All looked at him in awe
For none had ever seen
His like and type before
As they .peeped from the trees
He could see tapping feet
As he switched up the volume
And speeded up the beat
And they flooded in to the open
Left the shelter of their trees
At first just a little slowly
Then out in twos and threes

And the herders came and took them
Marched them to their ships of grey
That scoured through the skies
Of the endless Milky Way
And the forest seemed so silent
Not a sound to be heard
A silence finally broken
By the singing of a bird
And the projected image
Of the singer and his pets
Continued to perform
For a little while yet
Until the coming night
Cut solar batteries one by one
And as darkness bathed the clearing
The singer flickered and was gone

The Breath Is the Life

Throughout the history of human kind spirituality
has been the vehicle that leads us to a new modality 
As breath is linked to life, it is the transient carnality 
of the spirit, the one forever flow of wholesome chi 

To breathe is to live, to live is to exist with extensity 
born to take our first breath with lung flexibility,  
we learn to appreciate our duration and existentiality 
as we be breathed and speeded, into infancy  

We live and have our moments in expectancy  
honoring each other with loyalty and compliancy   
The breath is the life and the life our determinacy 
to exist, in a world of utter lunacy and discrepancy .

Friends

Friends are always loveable rascals
They make us laugh when needed
Lifting spirits they help make castles
Life without friends is slow speeded

Life without friends is slow speeded
lifting spirits they help make castles
They make us laugh when needed
Friends are always loveable rascals

Beyond All Logic and Reason

2/26/18


Standing behind it, is a legion
The mystery continuing to deepen
Beyond all logic and reason
Occurring every season
Shining like a beacon
In any region
Where the terrain may steepen
Or remain even
Making the best of having freedom
Even though they want to put it in a museum

Information on it kept or deleted
As of recent
Still a secret
Nobody has seen this
And they don't know how to read it
It's mission hasn't been completed
Those standing in the way get defeated
No matter if they cheated
They are always the ones getting beaten
Next it proceeded and speeded
After what it truly needed
And it eventually succeeded

Stephanus Marcus 18

Stephanus Marcus Book 1
Canto 4
Verses 4 and 5

This blow dealt most hard broke Marcus's glaive
and second strike that Cedric gave hurt knight.
Ben Brooster laid Sir Marcus low with stave.
The blow put knight upon the clay - bad sight!
Then came to aid at Marcus's side full might
of Morley's blade that skewered Brooster clean.
Now Liege did pain and chase Black Knight to flight,
but Sinefred bold renewed attack with spleen.
With madding fury he did strike Lord Morley mean.

And Sinefred rained down blows on Morley's shield.
The strikes are double number those returned.
The older knight now tires but won't yet yield,
it's Marcus's time to be now quite concerned.
Black Knight's hand wave to Sinefred now is spurned.
The sword of Bleadershame wants Morley's life.
In speeded action - ho - the battle churned.
With mace Sir Marcus enters new the strife.
For he wants Morley Liege again to see his wife.

Annihilation

A Train and a Plane Raced once.
Plane failed to Take Off on Tracks.
Train over-speeded, Went Off Tracks.

A Bird and a Fish Raced once.
One Flew, One Swam, towards the Horizon.
They never reached the Finish Line.

A Pencil and an Eraser Raced once.
They ran Hand in Hand,
But both Lost to Digitization.

Time and Light Raced once.
Light dissolved into Night,
While Time’s Molested by Einstein.

Leaves

Whispers as the trees gently swayed,
Each leaf having their own story to tell,
Millions of voices quietly Jabbering,
Incomprehensible to human ears
They prattled to each other,
Sometimes as people walked by,
They would rustle their leaves,
As to draw attention, 
Seemingly very interested,
People often got scared, 
Looking all around as they hurried away,
Thinking they were been followed,
The leaves would stop talking for awhile,
Then continue as the people speeded up,
Constantly chuntering none stop,
Other times people were braver,
Camped in tents to investigate,
With their tape recorders,
Trying to listen to the strange noises,
It didn’t bother the leaves,
They got more excited as the wind blew,
The more remote the woods,
The louder they got,
It was like they were been orchestrated,
Putting on a performance,
By the winds arrangement,
People not understanding,
Their ghostly like nature,
Of keeping nature free.

Misapprehension

Misapprehension

On my way to lunch
Drove the wrong way
Turned and followed the car`s
Silhouette
In front of me
Speeded up to join it 
The car caught up with its
Illusion
And became whole again 
Lunch at the café
As usual

Fred Enrolls In Obamacare

Fred Enrolls in Obamacare

By Elton Camp

Fred liked what the president had to say
Enrolling in Obamacare should be okay

Because affordable insurance he needed,
To his computer Fred eagerly speeded

The government site came up right away
He thought, “Hey, this is really the way!”

“Somebody should’ve thought of this before.
I won’t have to pay high premiums anymore.”

However, before much information he found
The government site suddenly shut down

Though Fred tried again and again
There was simply no way to win

“Whoever designed this site is a bum.
It’s not accessible like Amazon.com.”

Fred finally surrendered to despair
About the insurance he didn’t care

With a sledge hammer and a frown
His computer he abruptly shut down

Birthday Blues

When I was a child my birthdays came
As seldom near as never.
While now it seems they’ve speeded up
And are coming at me ever.

I’m sorry to be such a jerk;
I really need your shoulder.
I’m bummed each birthday when it comes
Will find me one year older.

Life In the Slow Lane

Life in the Slow Lane

By Elton Camp

If you live past sixty, things slow down
So that it takes a lot longer to get around

And another thing that you will find, too
In turning out work fast, you are through

Instead of speeding when you drive 
You will slow down just to stay alive

Working in the yard no longer is play
Just trimming the roses can take all day

Off your tongue, words don’t glibly slide
That you’ve forgotten names, must hide

But the thing that’s speeded up is that 
Cake is quicker to make your belly fat

Is the Watchdog Asleep

Is the Watchdog Asleep?

By Elton Camp

According to what we have been told
To Medicare a bill of goods has sold

Fraudulent billings too often take place
To steal our tax money is a disgrace

Some medical providers have speeded
To charge for procedures not needed

Or to submit charges for tests not done
Because cheating Uncle Sam is such fun

Some equipment that is sold as being new
Through several patients it’s been through

Even patients may be in on some schemes
He gives his number & of kickbacks dreams

Then if he is asked about it, he agrees to tell
Yes, the doctor did that and did it just so well

Careful checks fraud such as this could detect
And into prison the crooked people then direct

So if the Medicare watchdog is actually sleeping
It is more on the watch that he should be keeping
