On many endeavors which I’ve undertaken,
a significant amount of my time was spent.
Explaining things to avoid being mistaken,
later to hear “But Tom, I thought you meant”.
Time spent reworking isn’t time well spent,
so I endeavor to cover all bases before starting.
Misunderstandings, I always try to prevent,
and before starting, completing comparting.
So I’m forced to instruct each person alike,
so that upon completion I won’t have to vent.
Unless the end result is to to my dislike,
and I quickly say, “money wasn’t well spent.”
Pointers..
All words appear
As pointers..
Pointing to that
Which is already
The pointing...
Colors
Are infinitely varied
They're seemingly
What's happening...
Travel
Often undertaken to
Find the new..
While the new
Is what seems happening...
It's language
Which may seem
To build the edges..
Nothing with
Impossible edges..
Perspectives
With no separation
Are the magic
Of the impossible...
Stories which
Are not empty
Are believed apparently
With desperation...
Life:
a strange trip
undertaken alone,
by ghostly bodies,
encountering a variety of faces
atop the figures
of other solitary travelers,
searching
for someone
to touch.
. . . is everywhere,
an eternal, yet distant land.
Stretching to the highest peaks,
along the way to beach sand.
It's home to the mansion
and mole-hill, in addition to the man-cave.
With residents enjoying knighthood,
while they patiently await the next knave.
With many routes to travel,
the journey is both near and far.
Since it's not about the mileage,
or if you even own a car.
It's more about one's vision,
and their desire to achieve.
Climbing rungs upon a ladder,
over hardships they relieve.
The paths that are undertaken,
may not always be the easiest ones.
As they can often present some danger,
though seldom require any guns.
So when they hear that door a knockin',
it's important to answer it quick.
Because it won't go on forever,
and empty hands can make you sick.
Forging ahead, means so much to so many folks
for myself this means multi-planetary inhabitation...
this is a great undertaken cause many think it's a hoax,
Space X doesn't think so, nor I, as a matter of fact...
we need to hurry, hurry on up there, establish human,
existence, not to perish like dyno's did, stay focus on that,
why now, well we can, need to provide all people a living...
"one universal work force for humanity to survive",
think what this will accomplish, ramifications' stayin' alive
doom also gloom can happen any day, every day we do not...
launch our spaceships, set up infer-structure to these means
like turning our head, when passing homeless, also 'r' astronaut's
NATO's war.
It was on a bright day in 1949 the Washington treaty was signed and later called NATO.
This treaty was purely an American undertaken and designed to surround Russia with enemy troops and sow distrust of the Russia based on endless propaganda.
When the communist system collapsed one would think
NATO was no longer needed, but no, not so, because
that organization had changed its character from a passive watchdog to an aggressive mastiff.
The US administration had promised Russia under Gorbachev that NATO would not expand further eastward, but this promise was quickly broken in the head rush of winning over an old foe.
Russia did not forget and forgive!
In 1991 Gorbachev removed communism from the constitution and the market economy began with volatile results until Mr. Putin emerged and made the country, right-winged and Christian and demanding
respect to stop NATO expansion eastward.
Here we are Russia in a country she does not want to occupy, while the “democratic states” are passively
defending a corrupt Ukraine.
I learn to lead
"Kirat" I bleed
When adorned with anklets and bangles
I resemble devi, the purest of all
I inherit the power to end the befall,
I learn to lead
"Kirat" I bleed
Devi not only mirrors divinity & beauty
When adorned with armour and sword
I reflect the knight
No horror of darkness I'm myself the light,
I learn to lead
"Kirat" I bleed
The equation of excellence and failure
Has solely one thing to allure
Learning it is laborious to haul,
The task undertaken is surely to be achieved
As I bleed "kirat"
I learn to lead

You will just have to teach yourself
one poor female victim at a time
for kissing is a dangerous occupation
for adolescents and virgins.
Angles and shapes have to be factored in
at lightning speed
before the plunge is undertaken.
The neck must be adjusted to height and
the trajectory of the pursed lips meet
as a natural occurrence
like two butterfly wings
brushing each other in flight.
On first dates
short-sighted rhino clashes
must be avoided at all cost.
Noses and teeth
will always get in the way somehow
just a fact.
In time, with much trial and error
the young will get the hang of it
and it's rather nice
in an often sloppy sort of way.
Eventually tongues are employed
in strange animalistic tasks
that they were never designed for
but in the heat of the moment
eating is often mistaken for kissing.
Go forth confidently then
you young men, but always remember
"though a kiss might be gentle
and oh so elemental
diamonds are a girl's best friend."
Most of us deviate from the natural,
Some realize the objective of the plurals,
Few among us just run after the numerals,
A very few recognize the morals.
A virtue in peace in particular,
Remains ever true and non occasional,
A vice in actions as undertaken proposal,
Surely paves the way for quick dismissal.
Individual display seems brutal,
Don't forget the world is mortal.
Forever is a myth and abnormal,
But imagination is beyond approval.
Go far and beyond local optimal,
Your courage is certain and unconditional.
A speck of seed
Planted on the ground
Hoping to sprout in its definite time
Turning into something;
Rain and sun came;
Night and day passed;
Day after day.
Time and hard work
Patience and hope
Determination and expectation.
At last, it began sprouting this tiny seed
Accomplished; undertaken
Became into something
And joined the unit of nature.

Equality is the enemy of greatness.
No great racehorse ran to be
equal with the field.
Nothing great undertaken by humans was
Accomplished by people trying to be equal.
Laws, not humanity must be equal.
Humanity should strive for unequaled greatness.
We should not seek diversity, for it is but a bi product.
We should seek freedom!
For when we have freedom, we will also have diversity.
The conundrum of man is the delusion of power
Making one great.
The very essence of the life of Jesus Christ is
The dissuasion that power equates to greatness.
But mankind is deceived and seeks power and
Calls it greatness.
Men continuously twist notions of virtue
Putting up a façade of caring,
When in reality they seek power.
Power to enforce their will on their fellow man.
Squeeze your cheeks and nary speak.
Never you squeak and squawk.
There be a wee more yards to make,
As you take your puke fart walk.
What wild plan that sounded grand,
Has landed you in this state?
Make no mistake we all relate.
So, sympathy we do impart.
We pray you’ll make it,
But you must take it.
For you’ve earned your puke fart walk.
Now lady luck might be the stuff
To help you make the pisser.
So, when she comes through and you don’t spew,
Though your insides turn and toss.
Stop and kiss her, never diss her,
Whence you’ve undertaken the making,
Of the puke fart walk.
So, here’s the deal!
We’ve all had to feel an awful consternation
Undertaking the making of navigation
Filled with trepidation at the realization
We’re not suffering from constipation.
Now we must cross a certain divide
And there’s no way to hide from prying eyes.
Thus, we hold our breath, wish for death,
And swallow all our pride.
With dignity gone, at what could go wrong,
We silently depart, on the journey known in part,
As the puke fart walk!
Sit down and tell me your stories
Of times and places in your memories
Who were the people you loved
And your places to sit under stars up above
Were there times when you rode with kings
And battled evil to the end it brings
Were there journeys undertaken in quest
Where a grail was hidden from the best
And what of the gentler times
When you held your love so fine
Whispering in their ear so close
You are my love forever your boast.

Resistance
When the German occupation of Norway ended
in April 1945, those who had willingly worked for
the occupation power was arrested.
Most of them were middle-class people and they
were sent to farms to do menial work.
(One has to add the farmers too was willing to sell
Their products to the enemy.)
Only a handful of Nazis were shot among them
Was Quisling and a few others.
There was no mass- shooting of the enemy and
the traitors, on the whole, it was rather a mild affair.
For the workers the new peace meant redundancy
as all construction works the occupants had undertaken
came to an abrupt halt.
I write this because there is in the national psyche
of the Norwegian to be a bit right-wing and haters
of foreigners especially those of Arabic heritage
Furthermore, Norway has never faced up to the past of a war
where only a few resisted.
The people with a fascistic mindset are in power today
It is sad but what can a sailor do?
The only exception is the merchant seamen
every ten of them died during the conflict, and when
they came home were told how lucky they had been
avoiding the war.
