Humanity..
Has the temerity,
To substantiate.
Insanity.'
she could not handle the truth
easier to live a lie
just the truth the whole truth nothing but the truth
does it still exist
when none believe reality its still truth
if all believe lies they are still falsehoods
authenticity captures facts that exist
cold hard facts metaphorically speaking
how do I substantiate its actual
is there a magic formular to follow
do I trust my instinct can it be misled
if its verisimilitude can I trust
being lifelike cannot be the whole answer
fakes can seem more actual than authentic
verifying requires a masters degree
some anomalies are true world or true life
says true fruit would they put fake fruit in the can
corporeality surely must exist
a physical body a truthful being
must be believed actual
Do not be fooled into thinking there is more hate than love in the world
when you see other people’s prejudices, derision and scorn…
Remember, 'I love you' are the first words spoken when a baby has been born.
If you listen to people who just happen by…from every country…every state…
you will hear more words of love between them than you hear words of hate.
We sign our greeting cards ‘with love’…our notes and letters too…
It is love’s inspiration that allows us to say, “I do”.
We fall into love…when we least expect it…and though this thought I can’t substantiate…Is there a person anywhere…who’s ever fallen into hate?
Think about it…How many times a day do you say 'I love you'
and why do you surmise...
are 'I love you' are the last words ever uttered before a person dies?
The last words we remember…the last words on the mind
of the person who is dying…as well as those they leave behind
Yes, do not be fooled into thinking in today’s world hate is stronger…
Hate is only louder but it is weaker….
and in the long run love is stronger
A rock, Air, rain, a ham sandwich,
we name it all into something.
Whatever the language
naming nothing makes it some-thing
gives it substance, a name.
What if you discovered an unknown
un-named no-thing?
Its nothingness cannot be described using any
comprehensible reference points,
Its form is not formless, but not any known form.
Now name it, label it with some name that
distracts yet attracts. Make it a thing.
We have already made the big mistake,
already stumbled into a hole
with no ground around it.
We can call it whatever we want.
God perhaps? Any number of adjectives
to bolster, or substantiate it by a name,
but we have already missed.
Don't name a no-thing.
What if on a pedestal tall?
As if date trees that tall are,
Shade to no travelling soul,
And hard to fetch, fruits grow far.

Panthi ko chaya nahin, phala lage ati dur.
Forget, name and fame and rising tall. Lame adjuncts indeed, Kabeer says. How useful are you to others? That should be the aim in life. He gives an example of a date tree to substantiate his point. The tall and scanty foliage tree hardly gives any shade to the travelers, and the fruits when come they grow too high, and out of reach.
YOU WOULD ALWAYS SEEM MYSTERIOUS
THE MOST SUSPICIOUS IN ALL THE DEVIOUS DEEDS AROUND BUT NO FULL PROOF TO CAN SUBSTANTIATE STATEMENT AND CONFRONT
IF ONLY THE WALLS WOULD TELL,A TALE OF THE UNTOLD
THE SECRETS WOULD BE LET OUT IN THE OPEN TO EVERYONES SHOCK AND DISMAY
YOU WOULD DINE WITH THE REST WITHOUT ANY FORM OF GUILT PESTERING YOU
DAILY OCCURENCES TAKE PLACE LIKE NOTHING IS HAPPENING
COUNTING THE DAYS ONE AFTER THE OTHER
EYEING THE GRAND PRIZE,PLANNING FOR THE ULTIMATE WIN AND CLAIMING YOUR PLACE AMONGST THE RICH AND THE FAMOUS
DREAMING EVERY SINGLE DAY OF THE GLITZ AND THE GLAM THAT WILL SURROUND YOU
EVERYWHERE YOU GO,PAPARAZZI WILL BE FOLLOWING
TAKING A GLIMPSE INTO WHAT WOULD BE CALLED LIVING AN AMERICAN DREAM
In your oceans and deep blue seas
your waters substantiate what first is unseen
and I feel that which you offer within
as you take me into the depths of your palace
where your gems, coral, and things
cure my paralysis caused by the morrow.
And as I feel your sea breeze upon my face
it touches a part of my soul, but leaves no trace
and I don’t understand it, and I really don’t know
how your mysteries pierce my domain of existence.
In your waters I swim, and on your waves I float
for it is there that I come to borrow.
But tell me, oh tell me - please tell me some more
and continue to show me - the inside through your door
so that I can be touched - like never before
by the waters, that create your mystical kingdom.
LIKE A STAR AM I
Like a star am I!
Who only shimmers in velvet gem darkness, aye.
This~ my world of transcendental mystery.
And the only place, you will ever substantiate the
mystical, me!
Sunshine's progeny, I am not.
Nor am I, cocoa butter's tot!
A silken moon for a gentle pillow,
Mating music of busy,plumaged whippoorwills.
The spinning, intoxicating,music of the universe.
Ah yes~~~that's when I can compose such vivid,
outstanding verse!

In the name of development and sustainability
and to substantiate our dominance
we have provoked so much
chaos and uncertainty.
Now the situation is so vulnerable
we are toiling hard to save
our people.
Hope! things will be normal shortly
We’ll enjoy life usually.
Take care, Stay blessed!
And in that darkness
when i am blind
with what i can't forget
the shivering cold prods
at the numb
with ill effect
lies give the darkness substantiate
carnivorous hunger
fed on crumbling memory
truth slips its sabres edge
in lies unmovable
Far in the distance in the light of day
I viewed crows, swiftly passing by
No doubt they had sounds from propelling wings
I imagined those sounds so far up in the sky.
Captured by that sight, but too far to hear
What would life be with just a vision?
To associate sounds and sights, to formulate an impression
Without justification, it alleviates that decision.
If one can assimilate sounds from such activity
Does a mental image appear and develop sounds within?
Do those sounds substantiate what is seen?
Is there a relation between and do they blend?
Clouds saunter by without sounds
Although you can easily perceive
Do sight and sounds always need a suitable match?
An image can be separate, do you believe
to create
values to substantiate
To define the word cathartic
It means providing psychological relief
Through expressions of strong emotions
To substantiate one's beliefs
An example is a conversation
With someone 'bout their hopes and dreams
Hopes they have for themselves and family
Helping them stay on stream
Allowing someone to vocalize
Their anxieties, their worries, their fears
Can help them out at a time of great stress
Appreciated for the coming years
Therapeutic also defines cathartic
Rewarding both the giver and receiver
Providing each with a feeling of fulfillment
Making each in life a believer
To define the word cathartic
It simply means psychological relief
Through expressions of strong emotions
And to substantiate one's beliefs>center>
Many Poem Possibilities
In my mind are always poem possibilities;
To write each one God gave me the ability;
Will often use;
Never abuse,
And in them you will surely find sensibility.
Terrible unbearable parable
Opposition, condition, ammunition
Contemplation, compensation, creation

VERLENIAN EPOCH
[I am] from the place where white man states that, literary devices are
for him creatively.
[I am] commencing the era when empowerment formed in writing.
As a Poet and Philosopher of life ways, [I am] aspiring to connect to scholars.
With emphasis concentrated in Social Theory, my philosophies thrive
on the page.
Social Theology is a prosperous ideology that suggests we are summiting
as the human race.
Our languages are full circle and our image has crested.
The multifarious questions of why am I here and from where did I come
make sense.
This millennium must substantiate our existence to more than
merely survival.
Our way of life was given for continuation.
This is a reality.
The acumen states that the era of one is looking us in the face.
Do we perceive this as a greater nation?
