Virally Poems | Examples


Premium MemberHealth and Safety Earthcare

Sometimes
when a living outside
and kinda stale inside
property
relationship
or a good faith community,
an originally cooperative
property co-investment,
has been neglected
for too long,

Then those properties
and those relationships,
seem to suffer
from systemic
Post Traumatic Stress Disorder,

Those who live there
and those contracted to serve them
respond defensively,
"Well, if nobody else cares,
why should I?"

A culture of economic
and political
and social
and psychological
and spiritual
and physical health care neglect
occupies this formerly cooperatively co-invested intent,
hoping for, one day,
a fully incarnated community
of unconditional trust
and beautiful regard.

The antidote 
to a competitive culture 
of devolutionary,
pathological neglect,
is a cooperative polyculture
of revolutionary
healthy co-invested wealth.

Both cultures,
like all cultures,
are virally contagious.

How Did We Come To This

When I was a child,
I thought like a child, played like a child,
free of worry and stress, innocently happy.

I dreamt of knights and dragons,
of spaceships and adventure,
my Chi clear and peaceful as the sea.

But now roads are diverging in the woods,
a dire beast drags itself toward Bethlehem.
Shall we continue our every day, dealing useless goods?
Or concern us with countless devils, try battle them?

For the end, my friend, is very, very nigh,
whether by alien extermination or asteroid strike,
or underreported, nefariously political, virally thrown die,
our world, old poets and authors saluted, will not end up as we like.

Premium MemberGrown To Love Cowboys

Please don't speak his trumped up name

Like ValdeMore
and more
and more hard-played cards
in my competing hand,
history echoes such dark memories
fettered, now and then,
by death's final reincarnation

Because some will claim
his was a name
for Boys will be CowBoys
all White the privileged 
well-capitalized same,

An unspoken name
for Wild CowBoy Lost,
a martyr for washed out
useless 
stupidly competitive lives
following red's latest overpowering authority
shifting and shifty
while barely surviving Followers
deny, or even religiously
rapturously celebrate 
Earth's final redhot climate death

And others will take up his StraightWhiteMale
miseried DeathCulture tune
and persistently 
resistantly speak his name
as if its virally true 
red white and deadly blue,

He was wild;
A cowboy who could buy your ranch
and you
and all your neglected and abused riches
for tomorrow,
and all Earth treasures
borrowed from health manifest,
destiny of win/win Wild Liberating Bounty,
beautiful green democratic Us

Who barely remember
his weaponized
violent
CowBoy name.

Premium MemberOld Wellsprings

From whence springs
eighteenth century wellsprings
of democratizing
healthy cooperative identity?

In that urgent time's revolutionary uniting States
too soon to celebrate
Independence Day
again
and patriarchally
again
and military-industrially
again
and corporately sponsored LeftBrain academically
again

Caught,
and soon virally aflame
in France
and other
older
conserving royalist
loyal feminized serf serves master estates,

Becoming now a marriage
of independent Fraternity
and interdependent Lady Liberty
repatriotic rematriation
of strong and flowing governance
of self and other,
ego and eco,
yang craves yin
for liberally, lavish health
and conserving disciplined safety
becoming more interdependent democracy
of sensory spiritual
and sensual natural 
EarthTribes,

Strong of communal therapeutic re-identifying,
not defying,
Flow of sensory free associations

For Loyal patriots
reincarnating
CoPassionate eco-matriarchs.

American Nero

American Nero,
showering utter disdain — 
Denigration downpour on pleb citizens
begging for pandemic crumbs
As the pestilent fire rages around 
your virally tainted kingdom

Ghastly gladly,
you keep on fiddling 
acid text madly

Dripping hateful words that burn
deep into the bipolar soul 
of a divided nation

An enamel disrobed toga ethos
reveal naked desires
Sparking flames of cold pathos 

American Nero,
a contemptible paper reign
is exit poll falling
Whilst the fire of pox chaos
contagiously spread
with spittle accelerant ease 

This scorching hoax
raze any flagging, publican hope
Truth unmasked
do singe that gallows rumor rope

Fiery breath fiddler 
kindling fear, 
high up on that Ivory Tower roof
Tearfully playing the ill-fated fool madly,
as graven torch idolatry
lay fallow ‘neath ash liberty truth

Premium MemberSocial Engagement

She says she's fine with it

With social distancing

It's her normal defiant
absence of resonant integrity.

In fact,
thanks to the magic of World Wide Webs
she now has all day
to bask in messages she can choose
as resonant
and "bad" humored dissonant
social engagement
and political disengagement,
empowering
and disempowering
now her whole day/night choice
of sounds good-humored sung
and bad-rumored hung
out for risky social distance voice.

Polyphonic prosody
is like polypathic integrity
except older,
often wiser,
healthier
and wealthier.

Harmonic humored sounds
predict virally rumored rounds
of global ego/eco-therapy,
bicamerally wiser resonance,
bilaterally health systemic resilient
and wealth politically economic

Power tensions,
as my oppositionally defiant daughter
might more mindfully intend,
resound "Fine!!!!!!!!!!!"
roared like a weapon
might not(not) question double-rewinding Fine?
if you could ask me nicely for a hug
so we return to smiling, Fine

As pastel hugs
and shrugs
dawning viral light.

Pixie Prancing But Not Pixelated Ok X

Long legged pixie hop. Circles in the grass. Encircled by the firelights. Duties in the pass. Awaken one oh global one. Assisting virally everyone. Mission paths on grasses. Enshrouded in such myth. Vital is the work of the coexisting cobra clan whose addresses to clams bring atunement. Timely in any environmental era. Couplets in goblets and patriotic frogs. Question not the passing passionate wisdom of a fried onion bap. With sauce. Mate always with harmonious courage and exact comedy. Movements of a fruit bake in a frilly skirt. Rapid is the judgement of a peeled potato. Succumb not to icing. Ski scrambled schools schooling scholars solarium solar systems structures dish dots dash haha xx compass. Xxz. Cup of tea then is it? Want some tea? Good. *** beautification *** ha ha ha xx classification ***

On Valentine's Day

far back in 278 Anno Domini 
Emperor Claudius II had hung
a holy priest called Valentine,

Captain Cook on the 14th of '79
having circumnavigated his life was
not a God, so killed by native blood line

the Teddy Bear's 14th felt sorrowfully
when lost to him on that day in '84
his mother, Mittie, and wife, Alice Lee

that was the day back in '29
when thugs gunned down thugs
their revenged vendetta time

same time as Chicago gunned down
penicillin was also discovered
supplanting the sulfa drugs around

dehydrated with fever oozing out
virally you left too that 14th day
leaving me with a sorrowed doubt

so remembered year after year
love's shot in the heart
of those brothers we hold dear

in some future 14th to come, perhaps
my loving lover's gaze I'll remember
handing some flowers, a love relapse

© Goode Guy 2012-02-09

for my closest brother
