MIRROR, MIRROR*
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Wearing a green gown, stood Starr~
a squirrel princess known near and far.
In front of her mirror she did prance
With an ego royal, filled with self-romance
“Mirror, speak of my beauty. Show me some devoir!
The mirror was wise, tried not to speak.
Thought of the princess as ugly antique.
“Your hairstyle is a horrible a mess,
And that old dress is just not noblesse!”
“Have you lost your mind, you glistening freak?!”
“Me thinks I have. What’s come over me?
Of your beauty I unequivocally agree.
I’m just a lowly piece of glass,
Who spoke out of turn, with sass.”
He paused then said, “Princess, you’re the bees knees!”
*Note: The phrase "Mirror, mirror on the wall" originates from the fairy tale "Snow White," where the Evil Queen asks her magic mirror who is the fairest of them all. This line has been popularized in various adaptations, including Disney's animated film.

Tattered by bad decisions, misdirected, unheard
questions that remain answered.
In a dilemma unequivocally side tracked by distorted
thoughts that occupy one's mind in such a matter.
On many occasions succumbed by blindspots,
Yielded by one way symbols, directional lights.
Illuminated calmly on one's voyage a mission of a shift .
A changeover of uncertainty, and a realignment for
A wellbeing life.

Plain Jane Mrs. Poindexter Perry
Questioned quipster with a quarrelsome query
riling him up, down, on top and around
sappy sarcasm certainly not very sound
tearjerking interrogation turning treacherous
uncontrite interview unequivocally uncourteous

To arms! Many arms were waving, wildly flailing in the air
Incensed as if there'd been bowling pins missed for a spare
Screaming and ranting about things that didn't seem fair
Oh puhlease! As if it matters or as if anyone gives a care
If the truth were to be told, then everyone should confess
and state unequivocally that they couldn't give a fig less
Nothing written or done should be the cause of distress
when so many things in La La Land are already such a mess
"Always forgive your enemies; nothing annoys them so much,"
words of Oscar Wilde, is he suggesting using a gentle touch?
No, just an offering to those who require the use of a crutch
the feathered friends who flock together, flying in their clutch
The high tides of bitterness continue to crash upon the shore
With a forgiving nature and long ago, I stopped keeping score
That should've stifled the animosity, but there's always more
Their wrongs aren't worth a fight to make them right...candor

This tactic, 2+2=5, is a direct reference to George Orwell's novel "Nineteen Eighty-Four", where the party in the novel tries to force Winston to accept that 2 + 2 = 5.
Meanwhile let us just forget
about Joseph Biden's Presidency
beginning with the Russian
invasion of Ukraine
and the debacle of withdrawal
from Afghanistan (did those people
really fall trying to hang
on to departing passenger planes?),
and ending with the autopen,
and "obviously absolutely unequivocally"
no sign of cognitive decline!
Believe the propaganda,
it's easy if you try,
no lies below you;
above you only (blinding) light.
Is Donald Trump a clown,
or is he just not down with the Democrat minions'
Socialist (Marxist Communist) revolution?

When time springs forward, and light prolongs the day
When insects like bees, mosquitoes, and wasps, gallop
into Spring, armed with weapons to annoy and sting
When birds fly North, and bears awake to hunt
When the chilly winds of Winter grow quiet,
And the Spring Season shouts for joy
When darkness fades for fear of the light
When hidden shadows are clearly exposed
When roaring thunder and frightful lightning
Give way for the entry of clear blue skies
When war and conflict succumb to calm and peace
When dastardly death unequivocally bows to life,
And cries of "Crucify him!" are replaced with the
more subdued sounds of, "My Lord and My God".

Blessed is what people call her even her children
Is the way her loved was spread around to those less loved by others
Lifting up each person God Almighty created for His purpose in prayer ????
Loving them no matter how they chose to live their life
I experienced that love of a mother and saw her pulled in ways unequivocally thinning holding on til the breaking point
Exactly what was expected to the day of her passing on to glory a beautiful caring mind was protected by God in the last few years
Just a gentle note for the symphony that a mother had danced flowing on the currents of the biggest ocean
Elegantly so leaving a rainbow over the waves of days gone by
A beautiful graceful Angel appreciated more in death than her most lived life as a daughter sister, mother, Educator teacher spiritually perfect
Never humanly perfect verbalizing her feelings less and less I am so grateful for her love from start to finish remembering the love of a mother

Such obstreperous obliqueness
filling a guess.
Blissful in my obliviscence,
warm in silence.
Opulent eyes obfuscate words,
I feel swords.
All those obsequious rewards,
they mean absolutely nothing.
You’re unequivocally bluffing.
Filling a guess warm in silence I feel swords.

My Own Undoing
Coursing through an unknown milky way ???. Well, that's my fate. Were we not born to succeed?
This and many more should be answered, blatantly, if not unequivocally.
I am me, and you, should be you.
How far do we go to establish a point of un-duress? We should be cunning, as well as kind with our "Knowing" (Knowledge).
So let's be fortunate in radically Undoing our own
Thank you.

Onto all matter in me that matters
Fixed and incorporated need be
The nature of the universal spirit
For only then can I become
The rock that melts not in molten lava
Having gone through fruitful willful sacrifices
And innumerable sublimations
Of heart and soul at the core
Thus the purest and highest form of fire
Must unequivocally be acquired

An epiphany I come from a womb
Yet I'm not wounded
I have sad eyes, but not crying
Where are the butterflies in my stomach
It's fear I'm denying I came from a wounded heart
~
I Come From Heaven first
Temporary now a vessel on earth
My spirit momentarily house in a body
Where my emotions and Consciousness share
Choice process free will unequivocally clear
Body flesh despairs my spirit Covenant unclear
I am at war with my body my flesh
Where the butterflies praise God in my stomach and heart
I inhale my breath blessing exhale
I am above myself
Hallelujah
Amen
In epiphany

Intrinsic intuition tunneled through time,
drives incessant the central cognitive impulses,
surges with the sensuous waves
of enlivening enlightenment,
through the vacuity of amorphous perception.
The rhythm of time pulsates relentless
in the inner secluded space infinite,
the fervent frequency in harmony
with the intonation of the void,
the transition designed unequivocally
from one articulation to another,
modulated innately by the motivating stimulus
of the illumined soul.
Undiscerned life force abhors pervasive vacuum,
propels persistently the existential essence
through the sense-saturated emptiness
of enigmatic equanimity of abandonment
to the self-suffused sanctum of fulfilling bliss.

Never talk religion or politics for more than ten minutes because it will only end in an argument. ~Mrs. Jewel
I do not like Trump's personality,
But I can say unequivocally
There were no new wars when he was Chief,
And inflation had not yet become a thief.
The economy was a boom,
Iran was close to doom.
We did not have a border flood
With nationals of every blood.
Our current President is sinking fast
into his senility and would not last
Without his staff
To choreograph
His every step;
and his speaking is inept.
So when you vote in '24
Please remember this
Biden cares more for China and Iran
Than for his own country's common man.
