Dreams
Latest dreams: loaning a
small sum of
money to
the daisy patch on the
east side of
the front yard; at an early stage in
development preaching not elementary language to
claylike people; watching expressionlessly bark and
stick ****; furthering the cause of
adverse effects (it’s better to not live a
lie); encouraging the black birds on
the cement path out front to
never go after
money, benefit, profit, power, and
so forth by
unprincipled means.
Easy road to take
Is compromise guillotine,
Unprincipled soul.
When amidst broken equals, we approved,
Ere a freed grain of nomadic sand slipped,
Melancholic surrendered, whole reproved,
Monitor the saved life single and stripped.
Two separate paths once joined normally,
One courses happiness, opposite naught,
Depraved, unprincipled, lived lukewarmly,
Blossomed languishes, internally fraught.
Provocative commencement surefire fade,
Arrangements, invites, sent cancellations,
Heartbreaking embattles a soul betrayed,
Evoke mother's "time out", do causations.
Solely talks like being ere his gravestone,
Passersby ask he says, "Gauging my own."
Check mate I win again...
How funny I aways lose....
Shameful aren't you
A piece you
never
Get back....
How unprincipled...
A petty game
Though blameworthy
(Partially)....
How about a new
Game
No....
Im afraid once
something
Is truly lost
you can never get it back
elan vital
The elan vital in man or beast,
the noble spirit we see the least,
where hoarding dollars, makes IT glad?
Where persecution makes IT sad,
UNPRINCIPLED Vultures feast,
Nobility comes with a decent IT,
spiritual heights above the abyss,
a fall into darkness, aint the way,
be nice to 1 another hey,
or you aint worth your piss,
spirit into body, calls it home,
2 parts the spirit PLUS de instinct zone,
angered animal runs amok,
you caint control the smuck,
no complete control of this,
vim n vinegar 4 piss,
weak spirit hold the phone?
Don Johnson
Guilty one
Capable of gross wickedness
A vile wretch
A scoundrel
A rascal
Unprincipled character
Explosions, torque, the unspeakable
Magnetic force of your weathering
Pulling in through our sweetened bell
Grieved as yet undelivered
Is it foolish, piling dreams upon dreams
And lying among skulls past their due
While refashioning the latest grab
Unprincipled and colloquial
Simply juiced by the lack of you
I still think of you, coming close
So close that we lift
Out beyond graves and gravel
I know I'm losing you
The toothless ascendance of choice
And you're distracted
From comprehening our story in piece
Does delusion spill so grandiose
I'm flying mermaids from coast to coast
Get back in this game
Full born and bright
Following the future
Out of love's dastardly grip
But I cannot shake the mist
Your shadow has me eclipsed
A PONZI THEME
This is a tale ten thousand times told
A story about a young man who eventually grew old
If there are traps in life he avoided every hitch
This is a parable about a poor man who grew rich
This is a tale only certain people care to declare
Some folks do and others don’t dare
Stepping on stones like bones and treating people like pets
With the immoral means in which a driven man pays his debts
He made foes out of friends and friends out of foes
For unprincipled people like him anything goes
He had women bared naked and men kneeling at his feet
He was a heathen most moral men never get to meet
One of his multi-million dollar apartments overlooked the center of Central Park
He earned all those many millions by hiding in the dark
Each morning he arose to more lies and deception
And should have abandoned his abuses upon their inception
Yet smiles can’t seclude the truth one knows inside
And all the honesty his amoral ambition defied
So this has been a narrative thousands of year old
It recounts a man’s secret about his soul to whom Satan he sold

Debauched, extortionate and inconstant
was the knavish and foul mercenary?
The perfidious praetorian reprobate
was a venal unscrupulous slug.
Debased in character and depraved in spirit
this purveyor of evil tended to his wicked ways.
Morally spoiled, he was a putrid putrescent
and an aberration to integrity.
Nefarious and tainted in character,
he infected the soul.
Treacherous and two-faced,
underhanded and unethical,
debased and unprincipled,
this snide poor excuse to humanity
defined the meaning of "corruption."
This secret power
which was entrusted to me,
transformed the dullest days
into magnificent brilliance;
I can't let life's promising dreams
be wasted or be ignored by me...
because they will glow and then shine
at a time when all seems
to be rapidly going down:
to reaveal their true purpose
when they open this forgotten,rusty door...
Unacceptable and conflicting ideologies
must vanish and renounce any attempt
to punish me with severe intimidation:
as I openly and fervently claim
this precious birthright;
let no unprincipled man
hurl his frustration at me
or cast envy upon me!
I intend to honor the indissoluble justice,
love the deserving profoundly
and help the hopeless
get more out of life;
what concerns me is their misery...
I must never be too inquisitive or
impose self-revelation on all;
but humanly and sincerely share
every gift that the Almight God
freely and gladly gave me with trust,
so that I would not forfeit
this precious birthright...
